THE GUEST HOUSE

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

WHO AM I?

Sometimes there are unexplained experiences that happen, and there are no mortal words to express them. I am not sure how to share this experience with you all but I do know it is too big to let sleep. Last night I was having a spiritual conversation with a close friend. We were talking of different values people have. Our conversation came to a point to where our thoughts had become one.  We reached a thought that was so profound and the same moment we saw the same vision the same quote,simultaneously we spoke these words,   “I AM BECKONED BY MY HIGHER SELF!” . What a concept! What an awakening. What a gift.

My heart was touched and at this point, I know not the right words to express it.

I leave you with this to contemplate as you wish. Live a wonderful growing life.

Morning Is A New Birth

Ever noticed how life has a funny way of changing us? No one ever stays motionless. No matter where we are within ourselves the universe will always move around us, giving us the tools needed to teach us. Life isn’t about holding still and finding that comfy spot we knew as children, Life is growth. Even if we fail in life’s experiences, we are changing, only to begin again.

Rise in the morning and life has a plan for us. Every second, every thought, every movement, will change our life experience for our day and when we lay down at night we reset and life opens a new page. Life isn’t about what we lost. It’s about what we have gained.

My Thoughts before I close this day:

Did I do any good in my world today?

Did I make my wrongs right?

Am I stronger because of it?

Was I true to me?

Thank You God for teaching me about me!

BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!

FOREWORD
The time has arrived when the knowledge of our material world will give way to an ushering in of the Spiritual World that will bring enlightenment to all those who desire sincerely to know the truth about all things in order for truth to grow and become manifested within each and every soul upon this earth.

I, Mother Mary, believing that man was created by the Great Spirit out of love and nature, was placed by the Creator in man’s pathway to chastise man when he becomes disobedient or to reward him with abundance when he learns to become a true Son of God.

The problems of food, shelter and lon­gevity are more conscientiously felt by those persons who have tasted the bitter cup of life than by those residing in more mech­anized surroundings. This, however, I believe, is a blessing in disguise, for those who live simple, thoughtful lives do not have to unlearn so many things in order to reap the Creator’s abundance in nature’s storehouse.

I, Mother Mary, feel that many danger­ous misconceptions, such as in the misguided use of true knowledge for purposes of aggression, are hampering man’s current efforts to master space. Unless a definite change is made before it is too late, nature will carry out its God-given mission and destroy mankind. If, on the other hand, man realizes that he is the receiver of knowledge, nature will provide sufficient for all the needs of mankind, with a wealth of leisure and abundance beyond the concept of mortal man.

Therefore, to accomplish this most desirable state of affairs, it will be necessary to combine actively the relearning of ancient laws under the guidance of the truly Holy and Wise Ones.

The Bridge of Brotherhood can be built only with the stones of true faith, love and patience of selfless individuals with the Holy Wise Ones whom the Great Spirit chooses.

When man has learned from bitter ex­periences that moderation in all things is desirable and he tempers his own desires in the oil of compassion for his fellowman, then truly has the seed fallen upon fertile soil.

The seed of the Father’s love was planted in the mind of man when he was created. It needed only tears of compassion for his fellowman to fertilize, cause germination and bear the fruit of understanding of the source of all wherein man becomes in truth one with all and all with one.

As it is quoted in all of the Sacred Teachings throughout the world, our Heavenly Father asks that all those who seek him must be honest with themselves, setting aside worldly experiences, humbly asking within themselves for the Father’s guidance and becoming, thereby, as a little child.

Many nations have achieved a measure of greatness and then declined because they had forgotten the importance of true spiritual wisdom and the showing of proper re­spect for those rare individuals who were and are blessed by our Creator to act as the receivers of it.

That is the reason why the truly Holy Men have been hesitant in showing them­selves, for they cannot force knowledge upon individuals or governments. They’ can offer it only under circumstances that would tend to guarantee its perfect use for the true betterment of mankind.

They will not be a party to special favors for the individual or nation wherein advantage is sought or implied. Mankind should function as one family with duties assigned and responsibilities equally shared before true spiritual progress is possible. Only then will man have the opportunity of learning the true history of civilization and also what is necessary to manifest the Father’s abundance in effectually solving the problems facing each nation and individual today.

I, Mother Mary, have the following special message for the mothers of the world: “Are you not the Temples consecrated for the ultimate perfection of all humanity? Dedicate yourselves truly with love and understanding that the Rays of All-abiding Love may be emanated. Pray, listening care­fully for guidance and the way will be made as clear as crystal—”

Brothers, it is my wish to serve, if only in a small way, realizing that the Creator of all bringing his lost children together so that He can improve them in order to make one true, harmonious family on this earth; and to accomplish that ob­jective He will cause all of His worlds to serve each other. Did He not create them from one substance?

Through an Indian this manuscript reached my possession. I feel it is truth and in my way of believing serving unattached waiting for guidance from the Great Spirit of all good.
Amen Amen Amen

To change any of the wording of this manuscript would lose its true mission therefore it is left just as it was written and if Echa Tah Echa Nah, The Great White Chief, deems it necessary in the near future where I can serve in this way I am ready. In publishing this book the author’s purpose is to tell of his experiences, wording the text just as it is found in the man­uscript, leaving some things out as intuitive guidance directs through a feeling that comes over my entire being.

MY REVIEW OF JAMES REDFIELD AND THE INSIGHTS

              

Criticism is the practice of judging the merits and faults of something or someone in an intelligible (or articulate) way.

 An individual commented that Celestine Prophecy was lacking religion, having only spirituality, and to them was a failure. I say, what a blessing! The gift to allow any soul to look within themselves. If truth is truth why would we box it into one religion?

Like unto a child, James Redfield’s writings of the Novel “CELESTINE PROPHECY” was in its infancy.  At times, shaky and yet strong. Giving birth to a unique spiritual awakening. The first book, The Celestine Prophecy, lays out the foundation, or the milk, of the insights. Raw and simple. The author, at times seems to be living the steps himself with each chapter, as though writing in the shadows of his own life experiences. One cannot make an accurate “criticism” about Celestine Prophecy. One must follow this journey into the TENTH INSIGHT,  flowing into the next book, THE SECRET OF SHAMBHALA (In search of the Eleventh Insight) , and then into the TWELFTH INSIGHT,  growing with understanding, just as the character, John Woodson, does. With every experience John journeyed through, I felt an uplifting, a growing of understanding about this world and my existence here.

 

“DON’T POUND YOUR STAKES IN SO DEEP YOU CAN’T PULL THEM OUT AND ALLOW CHANGE!”

The foundation was laid in Celestine Prophecy. The infant beginning, allowing one’s mind to open, to grow and ask, “what if”?

For me, The TENTH INSIGHT  brought me to an awareness of the unseen in my life. I began to tune into the quality of the energies I allowed around me. The quality of energies I was sending out to the world, the universe.  James presentation of each perceptive idea, allows the reader to sift through them and apply what is relevant to ones belief.

Too many times I came across other peoples concepts of life and as soon as I encounter a word/sentence/statement made, I didn’t agree with, I threw the baby out with the bath water, losing out on any growth may have been there for me. Redfield’s journey of insights has awakened my true instincts, finding truth in the rubble of power and control.  There is more out there, around us and more important, in us. One begins to ask, why am I here? What was the reason for the path set in front of me? What lessons or growth do I need to rise to a higher frequency?                                                                                          I began to look around at others and ask myself, “what are they going through and can I help their growth be easier?

 

                            “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU!”

THE SECRET OF SHAMBHALA (In search of the Eleventh Insight) is a magnificent book. How one can read this and not be changed is a mystery to me. My awareness was kindled. The Candle lit. I found myself watching my every thought, every prayer and  every action. For me, the secret of Shambhala is within me, not a physical place but my temple. It is an insightful commentary on the issues that are significant to humanities current state of awareness. Redfield offers up simple, yet powerful, solutions to transcending our lower vibrations by implementing the wisdom offered up by his inspiring insights.

With most books, I look forward to the ending but with The Secret of Shambhala my frequency was lifted by each turning of the page. I drew in deep contemplating breaths, as the book came to a close.

(side note: Although John’s character is set in the tone of a NOVEL, I am leery referring  to it as such because the realizations come from a deeper understanding of the True Self! )

……………………………………………Stay tuned for my commentary on “THE TWELFTH INSIGHT“!
