The Promise Of Fulfillment
Happy New Year to You, Goddess of my heart and soul!!! I celebrate Samhain
with You commemorating the ending of Your successful growing season and the
beginning of Your new one as You go deep down to Your roots to Source the new
Energy!!! I must say You sure are full of surprises. Recently I heard Your call,
Do it yourself, kiddo. I honor our co-creative collaborative call. I am
gathering my team. I will publish my writing myself. I declare my intention in
Faith with all of you who read my newsletter. I have taken my house off the market
as an expression of this fully embodied Faith knowing, I can't be split. I
will follow my Guidance in Faith, Joy, Peace and Understanding. It's rather
comical to pull up stakes so to speak and listen to this new direction. I
thought my dream was to unfold by moving. This new Guidance says, No, kiddo. It's
right here. Thank you for witnessing this call to action grounded in an
exponentially Joy-filled Faith and Understanding! I feel such an embodied Joy as I
embark on this new adventure. Faith is the ground of my being. Faith is the
vitalizing principle that fires my Life. Faith is a reflection of a quote I
heard recently in the Miracle Minute daily messages from Rev. Dr. Mary Manin
Morrissey. Rev. Mary was quoting her friend, Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith who
said, Start your day from a place of reverential alertness knowing that the
Spirit of God wants to talk with you. That's exactly what this experience feels
like. I know what the end result will be! I don't know what the in between
steps are. I "do" know all is being revealed in perfect order! It's so exciting
and funny to hitch a ride on this great big Star of Light unfolding. Faith is
grounded in Magnanimity. The Latin root word for Magnanimity is: Great,
courageous Spirit. I love living from that state of being. It's so
huge!!! I see my other favorite spiritual gift here: Confidence~ with
Faith!!!!! I can't help
but see one of my favorite affirmations from St. Francis of Assisi: There is
nothing so
strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as real strength! I have such an
embodied awareness of how all this flows together as one gigantic Joyful
Life. As I said last month: There is no fear! There is no enemy! Just a vast,
massive, magnanimous Love of Being!!!
Another expression of Faith I love is Wonder. A class titled, Wonder: It's
Ancient
Evolutionary Roots and Vital Role In The Present is being offered at my
graduate school alma mater, John F. Kennedy University, in California. The
facilitator, Dr. Bill Garrett, says, Humans can live without Wonder, but we cannot
thrive without Wonder. Wonder is grounded in our evolutionary development; we
were, literally, born to wonder. Born to wonder - but we can be socialized out
of it. I can't help but see the connection with the Goddess traditions and
all the holistic spiritualities recognizing our Oneness as the Divine. The
Divine is immanent "as" our being!!!! I would say, We are born to Wonder
(meaning our God Oneness)! I can't help but see the cryptic play on words: aweful or
awful!!! It's such a precious matter of choice. Such a precious matter of
perspective. Such a precious matter of consequence. I say we can't be
socialized out of It when we're awake to who we are!!! I can't imagine my life
without Wonder! I don't want to imagine my life without Wonder! There is so much
Beauty. So much to appreciate. As Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith shares in a 2008
Unity Magazine article, My first name for God was Love Beauty. How
precious!!! I equate Wonder with Rev. Michael's term reverential alertness. I feel
such a magnanimous openheartedness, such a vitalizing fullness of
Everpresence--- the continuity of divinity: my words for reverential alertness!!
Another expression of Faith: I have finished writing my book. I am gathering
my AE
team (Angels Embodied) as my reading team. I'm gathering my publishing team.
I'm
following my Guidance step by step. I know this is my Life work. It is the
fulfillment of a long understood dream to create my life independently. This is
my biggest leap of Faith yet. I'm so excited, honored and grateful to have the
Initiative, Wisdom, Courage and Understanding to carry me through. I'm so
excited and honored that everyone I've asked so far has excitedly said, Yes,
I'd be honored. In the fascinatingly reciprocal way Spirit works I was asked to
be interviewed on a friend's evolving project. I'm so honored!!! There's
soooooooo very much to be grateful for and to appreciate. I am soooooo blessed!
Another expression of Faith: In September I attended many events at Unity
Village
celebrating World Day of Prayer and 11 Days of Global Unity. MegaPosipalooza,
a
concert celebrating the Posi Award winners and nominees, was phenomenal!!!
The Posi awards recognize artists in the New Thought movement who are making a
positive difference through their music. I attended a lecture given by Lynne
McTaggart, an award winning investigative journalist, doing The Intention
Experiment. Her biggest project is bringing the power of intention to the most war
torn places on Earth to bring peace there! Her work focuses on what quantum
physicists have proven: intention (mind) does intend change matter. Mystics
have said for millenia: Spirit and body (matter) are one! We are one Mind! The
last slide showed a gigantic polar bear and a sled dog hugging; reminding us not
to jump to conclusions based on fear. The polar bear just wanted to play!
Lynne McTaggart was making the point that our most devastating social experience
in Life is feeling isolated! The polar bear just wanted to play! It was a
precious picture! I also attended a play, Liberating Jesus, by Leonard
Jacobson. I was crying by the end of the play. Mr. Jacobson made the point, When you
address me as Father please don't do that!
Please include Mother so the world can be a balanced expression of God. The
last event included a lecture by Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas Gandhi.
From word one it was obvious he lived his grandfather's message to the core of
his being! His book is titled, Lessons My Grandfather Taught Me. Arun Gandhi
made a point I greatly love: Do not punish your children. He told the story
of lying to his grandfather and his grandfather knew it. His grandfather's
response was, I must not have raised you right that you do not trust me enough
to tell me the truth. I will walk home to ponder the mistake I have made. The
trip home was 18 miles through very dangerous territory at night. Arun Gandhi
said he drove his car inch by inch following his grandfather for 6 hours as
they made their way home. He did not want to leave his grandfather alone in
this dangerous territory. His grandfather refused to ride with him. Arun Gandhi
said he never lied again after seeing the example his grandfather set. It was a
remarkable evening. All 11 days were wondrously inspiring. It is so clear to
me: We must have eyes to see and ears to hear!!! That's what Faith is to me.
My 2008 September packet from Diana's Grove Mystery School says it this way:
Those who know, know! Those who don't can't be convinced! I love the Truth
of that precious awareness. Faith is indeed an inside job!!!! I know it!!!!!!!!
Faith is the very ground of my being!!!!!!!! Alleluia!!!!!!!!! Namaste!!!!!!
