Faith

Today's Quote:
Fear knocked at the door.
Faith answered.
And lo, no one was there.
--Anonymous

Faith is one of the most diffifcult to grasp prinicples in life. It is something that has to be practiced moment to moment to realize its powers of manifestation. When we are in the throws of life changes, FAITH is what will see us through. But, what is faith? Is it something that only the religious need apply? I think not. And yet, I do believe that God is at the helm of my life. We need to have faith in ourselves and every aspect of life. We need to have faith that it is ALL good, that everything is happening exactly as it should. We are in the right place at the right time, always. Sometimes this is not an easy task in the face of disaster or apearances to the contrary. I envision Faith as being a cloak or robe that I put on like an invisible shield that protects me from my own negativity. When I wear the robe of faith, I step into right action and positivity for living the life I want.

How do you define faith? How do you live a life with faith? Do you believe that faith is important? Do you have faith? Do you practice it? I would love to hear your ideas on faith. Post your comment here. Thank you.

The Flowering of Consciousness

I've watched a fantastic video by Eckhart Tolle, The Flowering of Consciousness, a two disc series. I'm reading his book right now too--A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. The point that sticks out to me is the idea of the pain-body. That is intriguing. I'm looking at how my pain-body reacts with other pain-bodies around me. Yikes, I think that it is acting out in some ways. Being aware is the first step in healing and dissolving the pain-body. This is really important work by Eckhart Tolle and I recommend both the DVD/video and the book

Desire vs. Want

I'm reading and doing the exercises in the book, Feel It Real. Today's exercise was so enlightening that I needed to, wanted to, or ah .... desired to share it. The exercise was to write down your beliefs on desire. My mother tells the story of when I was a little girl of me jumping up and down on the bed singing "I want a wagon- sagon ". I wanted a red wagon so badly back then. I never got it. My Mom's heart ached because she could not buy it for me. Here's what I learned this morning. Wanting is so much different than desiring. Reflecting back on my little girl experience, I realized that wanting never leads to manifesting. I went to the dictionary to find out why. Desire : v. 1. to hope or wish for ardently: crave 2. to ask for: request * syns : ache, crave, hanker, long, wish, yearn n. 1. a strong wish or longing: craving 2. a wish or petition Want : v. 1. to desire greatly: wish 2. to be deficient in: lack 3. to need: require 4. to be needy 5. to seek wit...

Thoughts from the Book, Frequency

I'm reading a new book, Frequency, by Penney Peirce. I'm pondering a new thought from it today under her 9 Stages to Transformation. In stage 8: Relationship, Family, and Group Experience Are Revolutionized, she says: "You develop a new understanding of yin/receptive and yang/dynamic energy, as well as the right and left brain. You balance yourself with equal development of your receptive-intuitive-sourcing side and your active-focusing-creating side so your perception can be more fluid, creative, and perpetually renewed. As you understand the balance of yin and yang awareness and energy, you draw parallels between these qualities and male-female gender dynamics in relationships. You find a new awreness about what's possible in relationshipe between two internally balanced people, along with new behavior possibilities for both genders." My intrigue with this reading is the idea of sourceing vs. creating. I always looked at creating from the right brain-intuitive s...
