Gang, here's a photo of me with my "baby", my 26 lb. housecat Bill.

For God - My Valentine

My Dear Beloved, my God,

You have given me the power of faith to help me get out of Your way and cooperate with You as You direct the flow of my life. My faith is like a light beam that shines love at Your Feet.

As I surrender for removal all false ego beliefs, useless worries and fears, any anger and old resentments.

Thank You, God, for the power of faith that draws to me to You...all that I need.

I marry You today God, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, richer or poorer, to death do us Unite. I deeply love You so.... ~R

A Note on the Mirror

Good Morning!

This is God. I don't need your help today. I got it.
Relax.

Love, ~G

Non-Violence

“Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being. Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.”
~Mohandas Gandhi

When I choose to live from the Highest part of my being, when I choose to take the Higher Path, then I live non-violently. When I flip someone the bird in traffic, or give stink eye to someone who takes my parking place, or be cranky at a service worker...those are acts of violence. Taking the Higher Path, living non-violently, takes practice, but luckily for us we have every new moment coming at us from the Universe. Each one of those very precious-never-before moments is a gift and an opportunity to live in peace with Everything.... The energy is ours to worship and adore.
~ Rose
Loving you Right Now!

Beat Up!

I recently started this part time job in addition to my full time job. The part time job is pretty good and the company is excellent, but they convinced me to work at their most demanding restaurant. Needless to say, I work Saturday and Sunday from 6 am to nearly 6 pm and I don't see any light in this tunnel. I am seriously thinking of quitting because I have virtually no free time, I miss my husband, and I absolutely hate it.

Although the answer sounds so simple (which is quit now!) I do need the money for the short term. Can you see if it would be wise to suffer a bit longer there or just quit now and let the Universe take care of me? RLYK, 01-22-60.

Giving

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
~Muhammad Ali

Affirmation: I demonstrate God’s love through acts of giving.

Meditation:

Dear God, I awake each day with a grateful heart and turn within to connect with You. Thank You for this new day which I will use to uplift all souls who I encounter as I go about my human life. I answer when called, and affirm spirit’s presence in all circumstances. Thank You God, for the opportunity to serve You by serving my brothers and sisters. Amen

Meditation Q & A with Shri Anandamurti

Shrii Anandamurti, in the second half of the 20th century, once asked: Now, the question may arise: is not the effort of meditation a mental occupation? His answer was: No, it is not, for a mental occupation is concerned with the doer I or ego, with the effort to attain for that ego. But the effort of meditation (deep divine contemplation) is the effort to see beyond the small ego and to see the Oneness of all things - including your mind within the Whole - so we cannot call this an ordinary desire.

Meditation is not a mental propensity, it is the fullest expression of one's Self. Anandamurti also asked: What is the science of spirituality (spiritual practice)? To this the answer was: The process of transforming basic inclinations towards a higher consciousness. This is known as the science of spiritual practice. The spiritual practice which liberates the aspirant from dullness or animality and expands one's self is spiritual practice. Spiritual practice needs a scientific approach.
Spiritual practice means a practice for expansion, and this expansion is nothing but a liberation from the bondage of all sorts, of dullness. Irrespective of caste, creed or religion, one who aspires for spiritual expansion, or does something concrete, is a spiritual aspirant.
Spirituality and spiritual science in itself is neither a religion nor an ism". It is the fundamental path and psycho-spiritual approach. So keep going. It is also good to see that a number of people have now been taught their own personal meditation technique.

Happy New Year! - Gung Hee Faa Choy!

Good luck Boardies! Best of health, lots of love and then Lotsa Money For ALL of Us!

Clear Mindedness

“Unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.”
~Eckhart Tolle

Affirmation: I clear my mind and open to my joy.

Meditation:
Dear God, Only in the old, false beliefs in my unconscious mind am I separate from You. Step by step, day by day, I clear out these old thought patterns through forgiveness and release. My mind is quieter, and my way is lit with divine understanding. With my joy-conditioned mind, I am at peace. Thank You, God, for supporting the clearing of my mind. Amen

Please Pray with me...

Aloha Boardies

Please pray for my boyfriend Steven. He is going for an interview for a job as a Deputy Sherrif on 2/13. He wants this job so badly and it will take a miracle for him to get it.

Also, Steven is being deployed to Kuwait, probably in September. Please shower him with spiritual armour and protection.

Thank you my darling Boardies.

love,
Rose

Acceptance

“In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.”
~Dan Millman

Affirmation: I simply let things be.

Meditation:
Dear God, When my life is unfolding, and You are in charge, there is nothing for me to do but just trust and be. Help me to keep my mental fingerprints off of Your creation as it flows and develops throughout the universe. Let me cooperate with Your divine intention for good, by being fully present in the moment, practicing Your presence quietly. Let me never add to the drama of life by my own personal interference. May I always embrace the blessing as it is given to me. Amen

Follow Your heart (Spiritual Discernment)

"There is a heart in you that knows. Whatever your considerations may be, it just knows, and keeps on beating in the rhythm of that knowing. Tap into that living spirit within you and get the guidance that is yours 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
~Greg Barrette

Affirmation: O God, pierce my heart and let my love flow into the world.

Meditation: Dear God, Let my focus now shift from my head to my heart. I have lived for so long guided by critical judging and analytical thinking. Now, let me take the next step and let go of this, and take hold of that which is higher and deeper, the language of the heart. Let me feel my way into that knowing, that rhythm. May this be my new phase of life, my new focus of living and being. Open the eyes of my heart. Amen

Choices

"The outer path we take is public knowledge, but the path with heart is an inner one. The two come together when who we are that is seen in the world coincides with who we deeply are. As we grow wiser, we become aware that the important forks in the road are usually not about choices that will show up on any public record; they are decisions and struggles to do with choosing love or fear, anger or forgiveness, pride or humility. They are soul-shaping choices." ~Jean Shinoda Bolen
Affirmation: I choose to walk the path of integrity and love.

Meditation: Dear God, Each day I make choices about life,decisions regarding how I live and act in the world.Most of these decisions are private ones that no one really sees, but the effects of my choices affect everyone around me. It is my intention and desire to make all decisions consciously, with your guidance. It is my goal to live the principles that I believe, to bear witness with my life to the truth of Your love for all beings. So it is. Amen

Dreams

Rose
I was wondering what does it mean if 2 different people dream of the same house. RS(9/1/64) and I (5/17/67) have dreamt of same house with same furniture,not as the same time. He and I have both had dreams of kids playing with the same toys in the same rooms.

I love you,t

Time

"Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of."
~Charles Richards

Affirmation: I use each moment wisely and fully.

Meditation:
Dear God,
We stand at the beginning of a new month filled with hope and a sense of purpose. We know that all things are working for our good. We believe that You have a plan for our lives and we seek only the unfolding of that plan. Thank You in advance for the opportunities that are ours. Thank You for divine order, which is at work on our behalf. May we live each moment of each day in Love.

Amen
