On Earth As It Is In Heaven

 
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven

The name God, Higher Self, Consciousness or whatever you would like to call it really doesn't matter to me as much anymore. I have discovered that the Creator of the Universe has many names. The label does not change the ultimate source of energy from which we all came from. We experience the world based on our own beliefs. Often times those beliefs have limits and we are confined to them. The flashlight cannot shine on what else is within the realm of endless possibilities because we have constricted the light into a box. Once you change your perspective of the world and allow yourself to have heightened awareness then you will see the world as having endless possibilities that are limitless. All you have to do is be open to it and allow it to be revealed to you. The foundation of it all is to know that you are love and so is everyone else. We are all oneness and what we do in life directly affects the whole.

We are not a cookie cutter generation. Just as the previous generation came to challenge the limited mindsets, rules, and laws that caused separation and prejudice (which comes from fear and judgment) to help us evolve to where we are today; there is still work to be done. There is a generation that came after those mighty warriors that are among us today and more are on the way. This generation came with a heightened awareness from birth of who they really are. Many have always had a "knowing" but this is now the season that many more will awaken from their sleep and rise up. If they have been socially conditioned in any way, there will be a shift that will take place inside of them and they will arise and wake-up. They will awaken from their sleep and they will help us evolve to the next level. That level is towards love and peace.

Develop a love relationship with yourself and realize who you really are. It's the only way you can love and accept others without judgment. Would you ever judge love? Of course not! So why then do we judge others when they are also love? Usually it's when we don't believe as they do or it's from not knowing who we really are. When we learn to be who we really are and love others exactly where they are; it will allow us and others to be our authentic selves. Love never fails and it also covers a multitude of "sin". Any and all evil that exists in this world has come from the absence of love poured out upon this earth. We can change this and bring earth back to love and peace. Just as the ocean ripples when a rock is thrown into it; so will your love upon this earth when it is released. It can be one small act of kindness (ex. a smile, letting someone in front of you in bumper to bumper traffic, etc). ALL acts of kindness (big or small) raises the energy on the earth towards love and peace.
We are all magnificent beings and we wanted to explore this earth and have the freedom to do so. We were also blessed with the gift of free will and the ability to be co-creators with God. Weare co-creators of our own lives and what we see upon this earth. What are we creating? Look around, turn the news on, become in tune with your feelings; what does it show you? Whatever it shows you is what we have created. Once we come back to who we really are (which is love) then our world can be what it was intended to be. We then create a loving and peaceful world. You don't have to do anything "grand" to help get us there....you just have to BEyour authentic self. Don't pay attention to what the next person is doing or not doing, just be who you are and realize that they are made from the same Source. That’s good news! It should give us hope that once these individuals realize who they really are; they can stop operating out of negative energy and come back to love. In other words, a shift can take place upon this earth and we all can make it happen by loving them!

Do you have children? If not, I'm sure you've been around children and can appreciate the story I'm about to tell you. I have three daughters and they get along great 97% of the time. The other 3% is spent debating (some would call it arguing but debating sounds nicer...lol). The debate is usually promoted after I have given them instructions. The instructions are very simple; I tell each child to clean their room. Well, here's the problem: they all share a bathroom! They will run off to clean their rooms with the exception of one child. That child will stay behind so that she can ask me who has to clean the connected bathroom (which is a part of both rooms). I will then give her my instructions and within ten minutes they are all in a heated debate about who picks up the trash or who should clean the bathtub. It sounds like this: "That's not my towel" or "Mom said YOU had to do it!" If they would have focused on teamwork and unity they would have arrived at the goal in no time! If they would have realized that they are all One, it would not have been that big of a deal who picked up what.

As a society, this is how we have been conditioned. Everyone is on a "mission" but that mission is based on what they can gain instead of what they have come to offer this world. You have a gift to offer this Earth and that gift is the essence of who you are. Don't get on the bandwagon of society which says, "Conquer and divide". In the end you will realize that all you are doing is causing that mutated cell to grow and metastasize. It's the same mindset that created the Holocaust and slavery. This "cancer" within our world is still present because so many people still operate in fear, judgment, greed, and hatred. It goes through remission at times. When you think of the great movements we have had that caused forward motion within the world then those were times of remission. In order to keep it in remission we have to raise the vibration and energy of our world to love and peace. If you have been the victim of this cancer (judgment), you don't have to be anymore. You can help this world go into remission simply by just choosing to wake up and realize who you are and then live authentic to your true nature.

A world operating as love and awareness of our Oneness needs no government. A world with judgment and fear does. Love and unity is our "Heaven" and one day this earth will manifest it. Imagine that, Heaven on Earth! We CAN help this earth evolve to that and I believe that God is sending more of those beautiful spirits here to help with this process. The ones that have been here for awhile need help. Some are getting tired and their time here will come to an end soon. They will pass the torch and continue their work in a much higher realm we like to call Heaven.

Love yourself. Love others. Realize that you are one with God and others. Have no judgment and remain open-minded to consider everything. The truth is already within you and it will connect with the truth only. When it connects, don't judge the other person's belief if it's not your truth. Just offer your love to this world and NEVER let fear come into your life. Fear creates imbalance which brings illness to all that you are.

Finally, just live your truth and be! Stop "doing" and start "being". Trying to MAKE your life what you want it to be only pushes it away. Just BEING who you are will cause your passions to flow into your life and all of the right doors will open. Life is not complicated. It's easy!

Knowing that I am love brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "just be." When anything arises that causes you discomfort, anger, etc......remind yourself to just BE!

Choose to be your authentic self always (love) because as Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Hate is too great of a burden to bear."

It will take the fearless ones that have been sent (not afraid of spreading the message of love above religion/division) to bring it fourth (they already "know" who they are). I can now pray The Lord's Prayer with a brand new perspective knowing that we canaccomplish "Heaven on Earth".


Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors.
And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

(Matthew 6:9-13 Amplified Version)


I have to end this with a song. I LOVE music...especially the songs with a GREAT and UPLIFTING message! The Lord's Prayer put into a song.....POWERFUL! At the end of the video when he starts talking about feathers.....I can tell you from my own personal experience that it truly is a miracle. One day as I was sitting on my deck outside looking out at the beautiful view of trees; a feather out of the sky just floated down. I looked up and it came from nowhere! The trees are far off in a distance and nothing else is around. It just floated and softly fell right on my lap. I took a picture of it and immediately knew it was a sign. I've been getting them ever since. I believe it's the angels telling me that they are with me. We all have one and I think that is their way to communicate that they are near and with us. Be blessed and enjoy!

No Longer Denied



Love is no longer hidden,
We failed to reveal it to you.
Love came with a mission,
Although it ended soon.
Love has opened our eyes,
Yet some still walk in strife. 
Love was returned back to love,
Earth’s message will ripple for life. 
 
Love was called beautiful,
A soul that deeply cried.
Her Father in Heaven was grieved,
Her love is no longer denied.

He holds her now!
 
R.I.P.  Amanda Todd and all of the other children like her.  I pray that each person who reads her story will be touched.  We should love one another, never judge others, and offer encouragement always.  Throw down the mentality that the next person is different from you.  We are all ONE people under God and we should love one another.  Let's STOP the bullying and judgment!  Let's also teach our children the importance of loving ALL people.

A song for beautiful.....
 

God help us all!

Finally Talking Politics!


 
I know......it's a shocker!  You can breathe now....it's not what you think:)  I know I’ve remained quiet up until now about politics but I was asked the other day how I felt about it. 
Well, here goes.......
 
I will not base my decision on who to vote for from what I hear on T.V. or any one individual.  I instead will research each candidate for myself.  How?  Well, if I hear something that I’m curious about from either campaign, I will fact check it!  I don’t endorse any one website to "fact check" but I do recommend reading AT LEAST ONE opposing view to any information you are researching.  I also recommend a website where you can read federal legislation.  OpenCongress.org tracks every bit of legislation, has the full text, tells you who is sponsoring it and allows you to track its progress in the legislative process.  OpenSecrets.org is also another great one.  It’s a nonpartisan, independent, and nonprofit organization.  According to the website, it aims to create a more educated voter, an involved citizenry and a more transparent and responsive government (it “follows the money”). 

Here is what I really think about politics:
You have to use discernment.  I don’t know if any one source is completely unbiased.  I choose to go with sources that are just reporting the information without judgment.  I feel we are all intelligent enough to take in the information only and then make our own decisions without someone else’s opinion of what we should do.

We all know that the media and our candidates can put their own “spin” on things which works out in their favor.  I have even read one candidate quote factcheck.org which was also misleading.  Fact check was correcting both candidates but one candidate used only the quote correcting his opponent.

You have to take the time to research and discover what’s true for yourself.  In government, nothing is ever black or white.  Lay aside the criticism, judgment, hatred, and division and just make an educated and informed decision.  Allow yourself to know the whole truth and then vote.   Most importantly, let God guide and direct you.  We all need to pray for our country.  It’s not our elected officials that will be responsible for the consequences (good or bad) of how we treat our home, it’s everyone.  We are all ONE and we will all be affected by the consequences.   Be responsible for yourself and make sure your contribution to this world is a good one.  Put your trust in God and know that He has empowered each and every one of us to be co-creators. 

Search your heart and go with what gives you peace.  Someone told me the other day that neither party gives them peace.  While that might be true for some people, you still need to research for yourself and then ask God what to do.  Try to remove any and all judgment and influences and go to your secret place just to hear from your Creator.  Yes, it’s THAT important!    

As for me, I will do my part and research.  I will allow God to speak to my heart.  I’m so very thankful that we all have that ability.  We all have freedom of choice therefore we can choose joy, peace, love, and a sound mind and no one can take that away from us (unless we let them).  It’s a gift from our Father that you can receive and I refuse to give it away to anyone.  Don’t give your gift away.  Keep your peace, joy, love, and freedom and turn the T.V. off so that there is no static on the line when God is speaking to your heart.
 
Helpful links:

This is an article I found to be helpful in finding "unbiased" sites that list more links:
http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2008/09/political-fact-check-sites-proliferate-but-can-they-break-through-the-muck268.html

Overall, my rule is to check all sources and compare information.  It takes time but it's worth it!  This is our future.  Set aside a day to do this. 

At the end of the day, I'm comparing everything I read to the information only sites where I can read the actual bill itself (down to the actual line) of what's important to me.  However, even after I research all of this..............I'm going into prayer and will vote according to my discernment. 

Regardless of who is in office, we should ALWAYS pray for our Country and elected officials.  Yes, it's THAT important!

"YES"






Hurdled down a tight corridor of time and space.
It’s dark.
It’s cold. 
I can’t feel You on my face.

The air is so heavy.
Why are the colors so dim?
The sky looks grey.
The ocean – it once looked like Him.

Did I have a choice?
Did I pick this place?
Did I know that I was choosing to become a part of the human race?

Could I have seen a movie that inspired me to say, “Yes”?
Did I see my life review?
Did I pick every test?

Did You warn me of it; how hard this would be?
My spirit once could fly;
Now it’s in this body. 

Surely You prepared me.
There has to be a plan.
Why would I leave the presence of Love and come to a destitute land?

Ohhhhh, that little spark You lit; I remember the day!
Hurdled down that tight corridor;
No sunlight on my face.

You said it would grow and my light would shine bright.
You said this world would need it;
To be raised to higher heights.

I saw the entire scene!
I was behind the spiritual gate!
I heard Your voice say:

You must now walk by faith.

It’s dark.
It’s cold.
The sky looks grey.

Your eyes are new to this world,
It can’t handle UV rays.

The ocean, didn’t it once look like you?

The ocean is in your heart now,
to remind you when you flew.

Did I have a choice?
Did I pick this place?
Did I choose to become a part of the human race?

Yes my child you did. 
Yes you chose this place.
You volunteered to be a light so that they could see my face.

You knew it would be hard.
You knew that I was rejected.
You knew that walking in love with them doesn’t secure being accepted.

Despite all of that, you cried and said, “Yes”.
You told me you wanted to be like My Son;
The one you call Jesus.

I finally said O.K.; I’ll let you see your tests.
I’ll always be with you, even when you’re not your best.

I love you my child.
I’m also proud of you.
I'll see you once again,                                                                                        
When your journey there is through.

Thank you my Lord!
Thank you for my life!
Thank you for teaching my spirit how to take flight!

Thank you my Lord! 
Thank you for this day!
You have replaced my dark and cold days and have shown me the way!

I can let my light shine.
My heart is made brand new.
You have poured your spirit in it;
The ocean does look like You!

If you asked me again if I would come to this place?
My answer is YES,
I know I have His grace.
If they laugh and hurt me, will I still walk by faith?
My answer is YES,
I will show them His face.

Caringpurelove


Always remember…..God loves you and He loves the ones that hurt you too.


P.S.  It doesn’t matter how many times over the years I have asked.  It doesn’t matter how many times over the years the questions have changed.  Throughout my ENTIRE life the answers have always remained the same!

Oh Holy Place by CeCe Winans has been my song since the first time I heard it. It so beautifully describes what I have always tried to. I never could find words big enough for what I saw. Well, CeCe sings it. It's beautiful!
