Trip to California

Aloha my Precious Boardies

I'll be in California for a week starting this Friday. The Sunday weekly meditation will go on as usual. I'll be sitting with my Guru so the energy will be awesome to share with you.
The intention is Surrender (to your Higher Power).

Have a safe, prosperous and blessed week.
Much love,
Rose

Dalai Lama

A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.

- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Where Have I Been?

Aloha Boardies

I have been diverted to playing a farm game on Facebook and it is astounding how much time I have been wasting on there! I've missed blogging, I've been missing you.
My computer is being taken in for necessary repairs so my presence here in cyberspace will be on and off for a week starting Friday.
Miss Trevina has generously volunteered to monitor the board for me.Post as often as you like.

I love you, and as always I look foward to being of service. Namaste ~R

Gratitude

Dear Higher Power,

Thank You for the ability to think, ponder, deduce and learn. Thank You for the emotional aspects of our being that balances the intellect. Thank You for Your spirit within which guides us. Thank You for these awesome bodies within which we dwell. Thank You for the spiritual laws which govern the universe. Thank You for the divine design that continuously unfolds in, through and around us all. May we learn to fully cooperate with You in the ongoing process of creation. We intend to live in ways that are a blessing to all.

- One of the Four Vows of the Bodhisattva

Purse

Aloha Rose,

I pray all is well with you and yours. I have been through a lot in the past few months; however, I can truly say that I am blessed. Through my strong faith, God handled it all for me. I'm officially divorced, my children are on their way to being successful young men and lady and I'm the happiest I have ever been in the past 10 years. I'm so truly and blissfully happy! I also have to say you had something to do with it by giving me encouraging words and strengthening my faith to let go and let God.

So, I returned on a flight yesterday and I had a carry-on bag in the overhead compartment. Someone accidentally or intentionally took my bag which had mostly sentimental value but some monetary value as well along with other personals. Was it taken intentionally and will I get my bag back? dlh 4-22-66

Mahalo and Namaste,
Mobet

Intention

"Intent is a seed in consciousness, or spirit. If you pay attention to it, it has within it the means for its own fulfillment. Intention's infinite organizing power orchestrates countless details simultaneously." ~Deepak Chopra

Affirmation
I intend to be the very best I can be.

Receptive

"To find truth you must experience it in your soul. You can read hundreds of books, or study the religions of all time, and find that all of them have one common point, one common denominator: and this is love-which is another word for light or soul illumination. To realize this soul illumination you have to shut away the clamor of the lower mind, to become humble, very simple." ~White Eagle

Affirmation
I am open and receptive to the Truth.
Meditation
Come Holy Spirit, Come. I long for a deeper, fuller experience of Your presence. In the stillness and peace of my heart, I hear You call to me. I know You are always present, even when I have boarded up my heart. I am now open to receive Your light. Cradled safely in Your arms, Divine Mother, I focus my attention on the Love which is my source and my life. As I rest and release my concerns, I am fed and renewed. Father, I am receptive to that which You place within my consciousness. May my life be like fertile ground and bring forth, in Your time, much fruit. In the name of Love--the eternal Father, Mother and Child; I bless the Earth and all who dwell herein. So it is. Amen

Buddhist Wisdom

They are happy indeed who own nothing at all; Those with highest knowledge own nothing at all. See how people who own things are afflicted, Bound to others by their obligations.

- Udana 2.6

Hi Boardies,

Well, your never give up woman is working hard in school. In the last five days I have written four papers, read 40 pages, gave a speech and took two tests. I'm fried!

Between

"I am in between stories. The old one is gone, and the new one is just beginning to take shape. When we already have a story we are heavily identified with, whether we appear to like this story or not, it is difficult to stay awake, to watch our thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate our actions. A clear story about who we are makes it hard to wait and let our actions arise from the deep and open emptiness of experiencing who we are right now, makes it difficult to allow actions to arise that may be inconsistent with how our story says we should move." ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Affirmation
God and I are writing a new story for my life.

Security

Only those means of security are good, are certain, are lasting that depend on yourself and your own vigor.

-- Machiavelli

Upon what do you base your security? Most all people have a need to feel secure. Most base their security on externals. That's like building a house on quicksand. Physical beauty fades, fame and fortune evaporate, and health can be fragile. The security that cannot be taken away, comes from within us. Security based on the belief in our Selves, in our ability to cope and survive. My security rests upon my faith and trust in the Divine within me. I've never had a stronger sense this than I do now.

Things that go bump...

Aloha Rose-
Well, not actually going bump...but a couple times this week hanging items have fallen off of their perches for no reason at all. The first was a shark's tooth amulet on a rear window of a vehicle. The second was a little doorknob decoration. They were both hanging from a string. The string not broken, no wind, banging doors, or bumps. They just fell to the ground. I'm thinking a bit difficult for something to fall off of something like a doorknob and even more so with the rearview mirror of a car.

Was wondering if I should be on the lookout for other "omens" or signs? Any idea on what this means?

Hope the new semester is treating you well! I did not get my financial aid but will be having them go over my aid package for spring.

Love and light-
Kat (klp 4/8/62)

Buddhist Wisdom

Transient is this world; like phantoms and dreams, Substance it has none. Grasp not the world nor your kin; Cut the strings of lust and hatred; meditate in woods and mountains. If without effort you remain loosely in the "natural state," soon Mahamudra you will win and attain the Non-attainment.

- Tilopa, "The Song of Mahamudra"

Point of View

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."~Helen Keller

Affirmation
I choose to see the biggest possible picture.
Meditaton
Dear God,The sun rises quietly and a new day stretches before me.Nighttime has ended; yesterday is complete.This day contains infinite possibilities for happiness and joy.I choose to look forward with enthusiasm. I step out in faith and stand on the rock of truth. Guided by infinite wisdom and lifted by love, I know that now is the very best time. Everything is in divine order. I am part of the unfolding pattern of perfection which is life.Thank You for lifting me to this positive point of view. Amen

Fulfillment - Abundance Affirmation

"Everything I need shall be provided today. Everything." Say it, until you believe it. Say it at the beginning of the day. Say it throughout the day. Sometimes, it helps to know what we want and need. But if we don’t, we can trust that God does.When we ask, trust, and believe that our needs will be met, our needs will be met. Sometimes God cares about the silliest little things, if we do. I will affirm that my needs will be met. I will affirm that God cares and is the Source of my supply. Then I will let go and see that what I have risked to believe is the truth.
You are reading from the book:

The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie

Control

"The power of losing control is about learning how to let go of trying to control the uncontrollable outcomes and circumstances in our lives...letting go of the illusion that we have complete control over our outcomes will free us from our fears, allow us to bring more of ourselves to the work we need to do, and enable us to find happiness and power no matter what life brings our way."

~Joe Caruso

Affirmation
I willingly relinquish control to my Higher Power.

Great medatation

Rose,
Great meditation.

I saw my grandmother,mother and father with my children. They were having a blast. My parents were so loving to my children,so was my grandmother. It was great to know they were so well taken care of.

Love ya,

I Am Ready

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”~Hebrews 11:1

“People get ready, there's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord.”~Curtis Mayfield

Affirmation
I am ready to be the change our world needs now.

Continuing Acts of Kindness

For one who is in the habit of constantly honoring and respecting the elders, four blessings increase age, beauty, bliss, and strength.

- Dhammapada 109

Spontaneous Aquiescense

The right attitude for studying the way is just complete spontaneous acquiescence. Who cares whether it takes twenty or thirty years; you'll be naturally at peace, without the slightest bit of doubt or confusion. How can there be any obstruction again after spontaneous acquiescence? How can anyone arrive by way of externals?

- Ming-pen

Pray Carefully

"One thing people often do is to judge others from their own perceived 'moral high ground' and then attempt to change and manipulate others through prayer. ("I pray that John Doe may turn to religion and see that his way is wrong and mine is right.") Or, they pray that a person change his or her mind to think in a way the pray-er does...We should pray only that others are helped, inspired, and guided, and should definitely never use prayer to change another person's mind."
~Chrissie Blaze & Gary Blaze

Affirmation
I pray for God's will for myself and all other persons.

Creating a more humane world

Such human qualities as morality, compassion, decency, wisdom and so forth have been the foundations of all civilizations. These qualities must be cultivated and sustained through systematic moral education in a conductive social environment, so that a more humane world may emerge.

- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Listening and Sharing

"To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it."
Churton Collins
"They that will not be counseled cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason, she will rap you on the knuckles."
Benjamin Franklin
"Don’t give your advice before you are called upon." Erasmus
"If a man’s faith is unstable and his peace of mind troubled, his knowledge will not be perfect."
Buddhist Proverb
"People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be – not what you nag them to be." S.N. Parker
"Philosophy is a purely personal matter. A genuine philosopher's credo is the outcome of a single complex personality; it cannot be transferred. No two persons, if sincere, can have the same philosophy." --Havelock Ellis

A Room Full of Mirrors

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.
