"Dying to be Me" by Anita Moorjani

 I am always excited and inspired when I come across something that I know I was guided to.  It's very difficult to find words to describe an experience that you know is beyond our English vocabulary.  Anita does a beautiful job as she describes her experience.  Sharing is caring:)

Can your thoughts really effect water molecules?

A LEISURELY SUNDAY DRIVE
 

I ran across a few articles and I would like to share it on my blog (the links are at the bottom).  I have heard about Masaru Emoto’s experiment on water crystals.  Emoto claims that positive changes to water crystals can be achieved through prayer, music, or by attaching written words to the container like “I love you”.  Negative phrases and words spoken to the jars like “you fool” created large clusters or did not form clusters at all while the positive, beautiful words and phrases spoken to another jar created small, tight clusters (which makes it vibrant and beautiful).   He also did the same experiment on rice I believe.  The jar of rice given the negative words and negative energy started to rot away quickly.  The jar that was given positivity did not rot and was more preserved.

The first link below is an interview with Masaru Emoto which will offer more insight into his experiment.  He is setting out to make the claim that our thoughts, intentions, and words can create, change, and effect matter seen and unseen.  Doesn’t this sound familiar?  I immediately thought about the bible in Genesis which says, “First there was the Word, and God created all of Creation from the Word.”  Emoto actually refers to this in his interview. 

The second link is a blog post from a critic.  I found this post along with the comments very interesting!  If you feel compelled to read both links please set aside some time.  I would suggest printing it out along with all of the comments and reading it when you have time (good airplane read, waiting room, before bed, or even the bathroom…lol).  If you feel that “tugging” in your spirit to read it or if your inner voice is telling you to read it then please don’t ignore it.  I felt compelled to share it and I’m just going with the natural flow of my spirit.  I don’t question why anymore; I just try to follow through and not ignore or go against my spirit’s flow.  Usually, when I feel compelled to share anything on this blog it is always just a thought that (in my mind) is short and straight to the point.  When I start typing however, it becomes a completely different story……LOL.  My fingers will not stop and I feel like my spirit is regurgitating beyond my physical body’s control to stop it.  It’s like a waterfall and I just naturally allow it to flow.  I’m always surprised afterwards that my short and sweet post goes on and on and on.  I used to apologize for the long post but I don’t anymore because my spirit apparently needed to get it out for whatever reason.  I created this blog originally as my electronic journal.  I have MANY journals that I have accumulated through the years and unfortunately the pages are turning brown.  I really just like documenting my life’s journey so that my children can one day read them.  Most times I really do believe part of the reason for this blog is so that I won’t explode.   Believe it or not, I write most of my entries to myself…LOL.  I reflect back on my own words (spoken through my spirit) and it’s always perfect timing and what I need to read in that moment.

I LOVE to read topics from all perspectives because I am unbiased and I can read it without it changing my natural “instincts”.  I have been taught through many life lessons in the past (and I’m sure many more to come) how to become more aware of and sensitive to my “inner voice” which is my navigational system.  I have many times not listened to that voice (like I used to do with my car navigation) because I didn’t trust it.  For ex, I didn’t have any past experience with my new car navigational system so I would get on the highway even though it was telling me that there would be a delay due to traffic or an accident.  I would ignore it because the highway looked fine to me at my exit so I would “override” my navigational system.  Well, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I needed to listen to the lady telling me to detour….lol.  The same is true in my personal life.  I have learned to go with the natural flow of my spirit and not fight against that voice.  I’m now on cruise control baby! 

***Praise Break Time:   After the analogy with navigational systems and cruise control, I can’t get Carrie Underwood “Jesus take the Wheel” song out of my head…LOL***

OK…….I’m back now.  Like I was saying….Our internal “navigational system” (or Holy Spirit/God/unnameable/intuition) truly does all of the work for us and our lives can be so easy and effortless when we trust it and know that it’s there to keep us safe and it loves us.  It has also taught me that my experience in this life is not the “right” way or the “wrong” way…..it’s just my personal and individualized “route” for my own journey through life.  That’s why I’m unbiased with all things.  My inner voice will lead me in ways that are needed for ME.  I will never judge your “route” because your route is what’s needed for YOUR journey and growth.  I do believe that we all end at the same destination; we just have different “routes” to it (some people do get lost along the way but when we all help each other and remain open minded, we can all arrive).  I believe we are all being led to our final destination, running into the arms of LOVE….the Creator of us all! 

Enjoy and embrace your natural flow to reach your destination because God individualized it just for you.  I might have a good grasp on loving others and as a result my “route” does not have as many lessons in that area (it’s a road traveled often and I know it well).  On the other hand, I might need to grow in patience and as a result my “route” gives me many life lessons that will test my patience to help grow it.  What if I only wanted to take the only route I felt comfortable with (loving others)?  What if I closed myself off on hearing about other routes which would help my growth?  I can still arrive to my destination BUT I don’t want to get arrive only to learn that I didn’t fulfill my life’s purpose and I have not grown to my fullest potential.

I have my own belief about this experiment that resonates within my spirit that does not make it “right” or “wrong”.  I believe that each person discovers life in different ways based on their individual life’s purpose and their life lessons will come to them the way that they need it to.   

First, I want to share the interview with Masaru Emoto.  I found it fascinating!  You be the judge.  Whatever you need to take in will resonate with you.  When something resonates with me it’s always fascinating how it will be confirmation of something else that I was led to that also resonated with me.  There is also an energetic vibrational feeling that I get throughout my body when I read something that resonates in my spirit.  Somehow it’s as if my spirit already knows certain things and immediately will let me know that I’m on the right path:

Here is the link to the critic’s blog post.  It’s beneficial to also read all of the comments.  I can appreciate all of the different perspectives:

FINAL THOUGHTS, SPIRITUAL REGURGITATING, AND ONE LAST LINK TO SHARE:

 My post are not to sway your belief or natural flow but to share mine and allow you to connect with whatever your natural flow wants to connect with to help enlighten you.  Your connection might not be in the form of acceptance or agreement all the time.  That’s not the point of me sharing it.  I share it because I love sharing my journey and I love hearing other people’s perspective (which is why I loved reading the comments on the blog post). 

When we can all come together and share from a spirit based in love and non-judgment then we can learn and grow from each other.   We should always remain open minded because we don’t know everything there is to know about our Creator, life, earth, God, science, and the spiritual world.  I don’t know what I don’t know therefore I remain open to all possibilities.  I listen to, welcome, and consider all perspectives.  If it resonates with my spirit then it’s needed for my growth.  How else would we grow if we didn’t consider everything?  It’s like making a decision that there is only one way to get from your house to the grocery store.  You might follow that route and arrive but will you then argue with your neighbor that it’s the ONLY way to arrive when you know that your neighbor is telling you that they have discovered another way?  Neither route is the “right” or “wrong” one.  They will both get you there.  I personally believe it’s important for me to explore all routes because it’s vital for my growth (like a Sunday afternoon drive in an unknown area) and like our navigational car systems, the lady will always “recalculate” my route if I get lost.  In that recalculation I might discover a homeless shelter.  The same one my neighbor passes every day to the grocery store!    What if my life’s purpose was linked to this shelter but I never found it or realized it because I refused to believe that there was another way to the grocery store?  I believe judgment comes when we think our “way” is the ONLY way to arrive.  That’s a limited and closed minded perspective.  Broaden your perspective and take a leisurely Sunday drive!  How can my spirit let me know which way to go if the entire world’s mapping system is not loaded inside of me?  OK….enough analogy with navigational systems.  I can go on for another hour typing.  Also, that song is coming back…LOL (I’m glad it’s a great song to have stuck in your head though). 

Here is my last link which is a fun family experiment that you can do at home with your kids.  Regardless of the outcome I do believe that it’s a great tool to teach your child and create an open discussion into using positive words and having a positive attitude.  Also, there are many videos about this subject from believers and critics……you be the judge.  I really don’t need science to provide evidence for me to know that my attitude and words are powerful.  I believe they carry energy.  I pray goodwill on all of creation and if my intentions and prayers do not have any benefits to our world what so ever; I will continue to pray goodwill on all of creation.  I do it unconditionally out of love for all.  I refuse to put conditions that it has to offer something in return in order for me to pray or love it. 

ENJOY and have fun with it if you decide to do it:

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

"If you want to escape from your cage, you must die while you are alive"

I find myself led to many different things throughout this life that I know God himself has orchestrated for me to find along my journey.  It’s like a very fun game of hide and seek.  God’s mysteries are not hidden from me to never find.  It’s hidden so that I can search and find it.  It’s a life of continuous growth through lessons learned.  I’m blessed that I've never been the person that needed to learn things the “hard” way.   The timing of discoveries are always perfect and the soil in which the seeds are planted is always fertile.  It might be a book, an individual that shares their wisdom with me, a dream, or just that still small voice within my spirit.  Often, the message is very clear and direct but at other times the message causes me to go on a spiritual journey of searching (which will also cause me to be in isolation).  I can now embrace my life as a journey that I have finally been able to experience with solitude and yet feel oneness with all of humanity.  It’s a paradox that so perfectly explains my sentiments about my personal journey.   Life no longer has rules or definitions.  I can look at water and see the enormity of all of the possibilities of what it is.  I no longer limit my view of it as just water.  Water is just a name given to describe it but it doesn't make it any less than all other possibilities of what it could be.  I can even take the definition off of what I think it is.  I can do this because of one simple question whispered to my spirit by God which is, “Have you ever thought about what you don’t know that you don’t know?”  I know what I know and I even know what I don’t know but what about what I don’t know that I don’t know.  Think about that.  When I considered this question I realized that there is a world we see and a world we don’t see.  We might not ever know the Creator’s entire plan while in human form.  It might remain a mystery until we are one day reunited with the Source or possibly it’s the day we decide to die while we are still alive.

All of this life is labeled based on our understanding of it.  What about all of life that has not been discovered or understood as of this day?  It’s safe to say that the unknown is also a mystery.  It’s with this mindset and thought that I view my own life as a journey with unlimited possibilities known and unknown.  My Creator has been with me throughout my journey and will continue to walk with me along the way until I one day return back to the Source from which I came.  It’s having this knowledge that I refuse to limit myself.  I have vowed to remain a humbled student at the feet of my teacher until the day it has been determined that I am ready to graduate and return to my Source; which is unnameable.  As soon as I label my Source, He is limited in the description of that name.  This Source (to me) is unnameable and all knowing.  The Creator’s existence was before the beginning of time and there is no end.   We have labeled this Source as the “Alpha” and “Omega” but even in this definition He is greater than.  Alpha means something that is first:  BEGINNING.  Omega means the extreme or final end.   These labels are the closest we can find to refer to the All Knowing God/I AM/Lord/Tao/Jehovah, etc.

So many people are trying to find their way to happiness in this life but there is no way to happiness; rather happiness is the way (quoted by Wayne Dyer).   Realize that you can be free from the limitations of this earthly realm.  I can be free from my cage which is my body.  I can be free from a limited mind or earthly teachings that are limited.  I can be free to consider all possibilities.  In the Bible Jesus says that ALL things are possible through Christ Jesus.  That includes EVERYTHING!  I can be free to believe that.  I can be free to utilize my free will (which I personally have made a decision that I want to do the will of my Father in Heaven….I can be free to do that).  I can be free to JUST BE and rest at the feet of Jesus.  That name which is above ALL names is my teacher, counselor, guide, and master.  He lives within me and I know His guidance (any name given to my Father is limited to my vocabulary but I know that he is unnameable).  I can even be FREE to reject anything that does not resonate with me in my spirit even if it’s man interpretation of God’s word.  Not all interpretations resonate with me and it’s the unnameable which is within me that guides me.  If what I hear isn’t rooted in love; it’s not from my Father and I can be free to not take it in. 

My point is to just be FREE to love, smile, laugh, and have joy.  Even in the midst of adversity, sorrow, anger, or even judgment….choose love.  Release those negative feelings and have joy, inner peace, and love.  Be free to have inner peace.  No one is stopping you from inner peace but yourself, your mind, and your thoughts.  You can change your thoughts and decide to JUST BE. 

I’m reminded of a quote I once read.  I don’t remember the author of the quote but it states, “If you want to escape from the cage, you must die while you are alive.”  Sometimes the lesson isn’t understood if it comes too soon in life.  I read this quote many years ago.  I didn’t understand it at the time.  I now know that it was just a seed that was sown into the fertile ground of my heart.  It has been watered and my God has nurtured it until this day and time.  Sometimes the message or meaning isn’t understood until a certain age or possibly when something profound has occurred in one’s life.  There will however come a time when that seed will sprout up and grow into a beautiful flower or a huge and sturdy oak tree.  This might just be a seed for you.  Don’t get discouraged if you’re “not there yet”.  You will get there if you allow God to water it, protect it, and give it sunshine.  Keep your heart open to receive God’s love for yourself and allow yourself to pour some of that love onto ALL of humanity.  When a member of your body (your brother and/or sister in Christ)  is operating with fear, doubt, hate, anger, or frustration then you have to help nurture it back to health.  It's a part of you.  You need it to have quality of life!  How can you help nurture it back?  Pray for them and ALWAYS send good energy to them.  Also, keep yourself grounded and rooted in love always.  When you think about them, send good vibrations to them and pray for them. 

I recently read a story that was coupled with the quote mentioned above.  After reading the story I immediately got it!  I have been living this way for a few years now BUT now I get why it’s vitally important for me to live this way.  It’s as if God is whispering to me, “You’re on the right track.  Keep going.  I’m with you.  I’m proud of you.”  Just typing that makes my heart full!

I share with you my journey and some of my life lessons because I believe we are all one and I want to help someone else along their journey.  My epiphany today could possibly be a voice from God to you saying, “I’m proud of you.  Keep moving forward.  You’re on the right track.”
Here's the story that really put the quote “If you want to escape the cage, you must die while you are alive” into perspective for me:


A traveler from India went to Africa to acquire some local products and animals, and while in the jungle he saw thousands of beautiful multicolored talking parrots. He decided to capture a talking parrot and take it back as a pet.

At home he kept his parrot in a cage and fed him wonderful seeds and honey, played music for his pet, and generally treated him well. When it was time for the man to return to Africa 2 years later, he asked his parrot if there was any message he could deliver to the parrot's friends back in the jungle. The parrot told his master to say that he was very happy in his cage and that he was enjoying each day and to convey his love.

When the traveler arrived back in Africa he delivered the message to the parrots in the jungle. Just as he finished his story, a parrot with tears welling up in his eyes fell over dead. The man was alarmed and decided that the parrot must have been very close to the parrot in the cage and that was the reason for his sadness and demise.

When the traveler returned to India, he told his pet what had happened. As he finished his story, the pet parrot's eyes welled up with tears and he kneeled over dead in his cage. The man was astounded, but figured that his pet died from the despair of hearing of the death of his close friend back in the jungle.


The trader opened up the cage and tossed the dead bird outside onto the trash heap. Immediately his pet parrot flew up to a branch on the tree outside.

The trader said to him, "So, you are not dead after all. Why did you do that?"

The parrot answered, "Because that bird back in Africa sent me a very important message."

"What was the message?" the trader inquired impatiently.

"He told me that if you want to escape from your cage, you must die while you are alive."

 Isn’t that story profound?  Choose this day to die to “self” or “ego” and view yourself as your Creator views us all.....as ONE body.  He causes the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the "just" and the "unjust".  God did not intend for us to be separate.  When there is a part of the body that is damaged or broken God not only sees the damaged or broken piece but He also sees it as the entire body being broken or damaged.  The human race created seperation...not God.  Humanity is like a body and all members of a body are needed in order for the body to have a good quality of life.  There is not one member of a body that is more vital or important than another.  All members are equally important and vital.  All members are needed in order for the body to be healthy and work properly.  See yourself as one with all of humanity.  Try to see yourself in everyone you meet.  Once you can do this……then you must die (your ego/your flesh) while still alive so that as a “body” we can all be opened to the possibilities and be shown ALL of God’s mysteries.  What I’ve realized after reading this story is that we can know his mysteries while on earth as long as we die still alive!

God bless us all.

I leave you with this scripture:  1 Corinthians 12:12-26

 

Unity and Diversity in the Body

¹² Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. ¹³ For we were all baptized by^[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. ¹⁴ Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

¹⁵ Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” ²² On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, ²³ and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, ²⁴ while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, ²⁵ so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ²⁶ If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

With Love,

P.S.  In my journey I have been led to many different things.  Just today (prior to writing this blog) I heard this song.  In addition to the song, I read the story I shared with you.  On top of that, I am reading a book that reminded me of the quote I read many years ago.  How can you not enjoy your journey when you have days like this?  Revelation knowledge straight from the Source.  I didn't need to have someone else tell me of His mysteries, (although God can speak and has spoken in that form to me before) all I had to do was open my heart and mind to ALL of the possibilities and stop living as though there are absolutes in what we know about God's word.  In Heaven.....His word is absolute BUT on earth we have not been shown the entirety of the unnameable.  We only know what we know.  There will probably always be an "I don't know what I don't know" in my life and it's because of this that I will FOREVER be a student. 

I'm sharing this song that I LOVE which I dedicate to living FREELY in the Unnameable:
