We do not need magic

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power  to imagine better. J. K. Rowling 

 

 

It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes," but of whether you take the gifts you have -- they are plenteous -- and share them with all the world.

A Diamond in the Rough

 

 

Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough.

Mary McLeod Bethune(gratefulness.org)

 

Ajike Williams Right and so much value is placed on it, just due to the pressure that is applied to make it be the brilliant stone that it is and everybody wants a rock, is it the light and color that shine through, hum. But, it is a lesson in life how we can work o should work on our inner selves so that the light within us will shine, so that others will see how they too can become a beacon of light to make a better world. Good example Ron. ;)

 

 

Dilip Dhokia Indeed so!

Do You have enough Faith to ask and receive?

 

Do you feel worthy enough to receive? Some of us find it easier to give than to receive - to give care rather than to take care. Ask and ye shall receive. Can you identify yourself with Great Spirit in order to ask and accept supply in deepest gratitude? Be a care giver and a care taker, for it is in giving that we receive, and in receiving that we give.

 

  Ron Alexander “Fear brings failure; faith brings success; it’s just that simple.” Really.
Ernest Holmes(one of the Wise Ones!)

 
Feel your Divine Presence and ask for your Divine Inheritance fulfilling your Divine Purpose.

One may ask, “I wonder if I really have any faith. Things never seem to work out for me.” Quoting the wisdom of Ernest Holmes: “Whether or not we know it, we all have faith. We are just mostly using it in reverse.” Faith moves mountains, heals the sick, and calms the tempest within. But in reverse, it can lead to great sadness, frustration, and lack of fulfillment. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of all is that we must have faith before we have the proof of our faith. But know that once you experience the many demonstrations of your faith, faith will be increased exponentially, and so will be set in motion an infinite upward spiral of Good. Ernest Holmes again encapsulates that which can appear to be so complex into its innate simplicity: “Fear brings failure; faith brings success; it’s just that simple.” Really.

 

Robyn Summers-Shelley I am more of a giver captain Ron, I find it hard to take and except...................

Gisele Fahrbach I allow myself to receiiiiiiive a lot so I get a lot of everything!! How does it get any better??

Ron Alexander Dear Robyn Summers-Shelley, why do you think you have a hard time taking and accepting?

Dear Gisele Fahrbach, you must identify with your Divine Self in order to receive like that???

 

 

Ajike Williams @Ron  - YES!

 

Robyn Summers-Shelley I just don't know Ron, as a small kid I would spend my pocket money on others, that it just me............lol................

Ron Alexander Ah, Robyn Summers-Shelley, does it make you feel good to give like that? If so, then you are receiving, true?Ron Alexander A lot of time when I am giving it is based on my wanting to please, since I don't feel good enough about myself - less than other person and I want to be seen favorably. This demonstrates lack of faith in myself and Spirit!

 



The Sacred Circle

 

The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity. The Hoop of Life is also a circle. On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant. It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet.

Good Grief

 

Allow heartbreaks to help open your heart to more kindness and compassion for yourself and others...Ron Alexander

 



 

 

Robyn Summers-Shelley we can't go around it, we can't go over it, we can't go under it Ron Alexander. We just have to go through it at our own pace, there are no right or wrong ways, it is our way, and our way alone...............sending hugs from Australia.............xoxoxoxoxo

Ron Alexander 5:45am Aug 28 Completely forgetting is impossible, however allowing it to help open your heart is helpful!

Ron Alexander 5:41am Aug 28 Little losses usually bring back memories of larger ones - it goes around in circles so awareness and acceptance relieves

Anger in Grief

                            

 

Eric Gibson: Anger distorts judgement and intuition leaving many to never know why they were really angry.

 

• Ron Alexander Anger is a normal step in grief and loss, and fear is there too. Awareness that you are angry because of loss and fearful of more loss leads to forgiving and forgetting quicker. Peace!

   
• Eric Gibson Especially when I stub my toe,lol Thank-you Ron
• Ron Alexander Good morning, Eric! Normalizing, feeling, accepting, humoring - really help lol:-)

"We stand on the shoulders of untold millions," Attorney General Eric Holder sai...d Saturday before thousands on Washington D.C.'s national mall. "But for them, I would not be Attorney General of the United States and Barack Obama would not President of the United States of America.”

 

This reminds me of when we used to go hiking and mountain climbing in Alaska without being armed. We hiked past Grizzlies Momma bears with their baby bears and there was no reaction from her. I think she knew instinctually that we meant no harm, and wished for only peace and well-being for them.

 

And it reminds me of Jimmy Twyman and his peace trip to Serbia/Bosnia being with a band of Monks spreading Peaceful energy and being invisible to the warring parties.

 

 

You are a Blessing - Live Affirmatively and Be Happy

 

 

Spirit Permeates  my Consciousness and Environment

 

It is only as you live affirmatively that you can be happy. Knowing that there is but one Spirit in which you live, move and have your being, you are to feel this Spirit not only in your consciousness but in your affairs. You are united with all. You are one with the eternal Light Itself. The Presence of Spirit within you blesses everyone you meet, tends to heal everything you touch, brings gladness into the life of everyone you contact.  Therefore, you are a blessing to yourself, to humankind, and to the day in which you live.

Love Sings Joyously in my Heart

      This is the Day That Love has made, rejoice and be grateful for it.   Ron Alexander (Ernest Holmes below)

 

Today I uncover the perfection within me. In its fullness I reveal the indwelling Presence. I look out upon the world of  my affairs, knowing that the Spirit within me makes my way both immediate and easy. I know there is nothing in me that could possibly obstruct or withhold the Divine Circuit of Life and Love, which Good is.

My word dissolves every negative thought or impulse that could throw a shadow over my perfection. Good flows through me to all. Good shines through my thoughts and actions. Good harmonizes my body so that it is revitalized, manifesting perfection in every cell, organ and function. Good harmonizes my mind so that Love sings joyously in my heart. I am in  complete unity with Good.              Ernest Holmes

World Citizen

 

Let your thoughts be global. The entire globe has shrunk into a small village. In one day, you may be wearing a British shirt, French glasses, a Japanese watch. Then what country do you belong to?

Sri Swami Satchidananda(gratefulness.org)
Integral Yoga Magazine

I obtained a World Citizen passport from Scott Herrick, who had his U. S. passport taken away after sailing to Cuba on a goodwill music exchange. He published this one with quotes from famous people from all over like Plato, Benjamin Franklin, Descartes, etc.  - very legitimate-looking inside with id photo address. Scott used his, and said the secret was to get it stamped once, and have it opened for the next customs officer. He, also, advised to keep your own passport if you still had it, and not use the alternative unless necessary. I have never felt need to use it, but proud to own it, if I want to get into country that doesn't like ours, which were multiplying when Bush was in his 2 terms.

 

 



Whatever is happening is perfect now

Science of Mind magazine · ( needed repost)A deeply felt awareness of your oneness arises. Right now, everything is perfect in your life, and all is in divine order.  

• Whatever is or is not happening in your life right now is perfect. You are perfectly okay, regardless of how you are feeling or what you are now experiencing. Take this moment to relax into a surrendered attitude of just letting it all be okay. Settle into the peaceful awareness that nothing is truly the matter. You are alive, and just as you have arrived at where you are now, you will continue to arrive at where you will be tomorrow, and the next day. For the present, you are in your perfect place, and you have done everything as well as you have known how to do or been able to do. You are not wrong or lacking. Everything is okay.
  
  As you enter fully into an acceptance of the now moment as essentially perfect, you discover a spacious freedom to continue to evolve. A deeply felt awareness of your oneness arises. Right now, everything is perfect in your life, and all is in divine order.
  From today's Daily Guide by Kathy Juline, SOM May 2013.

• This is the night that Love has made, rejoice and be grateful for it.

  

Caterpillar to Butterfly and Oldest Beings on Earth

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Margaret Fuller(gratefulness.org)

 

The most beautiful trees I have ever seen grow in the most adverse conditions. Bristle-coned pines grow on north slope of mountains 7000 to 9000 feet on acidic soil where nothing else can grow. The grove I found was on the White Mts. above awesome Owens Valley on east side of Yosemite - Death Valley is a way South, where you have to come in on is Winter as the pass to Yosemite has 30 ft. of snow blocking it. The oldest tree was over 7000 yrs. old - the oldest Beings in the World.

 

Removing your ego

Removing your ego is like having a lobotomy because you don't like the way your brain thinks. Jus saying, Ron Alexander

 

Bunni Vaughan Healy Lots of psychologists and psyche majors have an issue with "ego" as Tolle uses it. We used to say "higher self" and "lower self" in the circumstance that Tolle calls "ego" and "consciousness". This sits better for some. I think Tolle's concepts are so well put together and easily explained that it's worth re-defining "ego" for those purposes.

I find it often happens when switching authors that we have to switch our definitions some (mind/self/consciousness... all vary some book to book) and it's often worth it... besides, do we really need to be "attached" to our old definitions? (Isn't that just ego? ;) )

 

Ron Alexander Bunni Vaughan Healy, , the problem is the "attachments" to concepts and our thinking is what most call "ego"(and that includes thinking the ego is our problem.) I argued with Tolle for hours about his use of the "ego". He finally agreed that "awareness of the ego" is what is needed. Tolle does not admit that he got his start teaching ACIM in London, which is where he borrowed a lot of his concepts. And ego is just another CONCEPT. When I studied ACIM in Tiburon, CA.(where I was a grad. student in Counseling), we would get upset at the demonization of the word "ego". Easy going blissed out Dr. Bill, told us to just "tear out those pages". Also, the demonization of "body" by ACIM. The Bible at least calls the "body, the temple of our Spirit". Nowadays, it is so easy to dismiss the "ego" as our inner devil, which is lazy dualistic thinking. Oh, I have learned so much from ACIM -"in my defenseless my safety lies", "Love is the Essence of our Being." and "need do nothing". I finally found a group and teacher who does not get defensive when I am critical of ACIM dualistic teaching, and it is right there in your church. Mark, like Bill, has grown non-defensive, and I recommend his group. Dr. Thetford, who made the famous query to his assistant "there is got to be a better way than this" led to her channeling the course. She never liked what she was channeling, but Bill loved it and insisted she record her channelings, and he scribed them. Dr.Bill incorporated the teachings and was the freeist man I have ever met, in complete bliss, he sat off the side of our group, and beamed and giggled alots.

Ron Alexander Dr. Bill Thetford role - modeled the words at the end of ACIM,
"Now, forget all you have read here, and go enjoy the rest of your life." or something like that??? I believe Mark is living like that now, who is at his best when he is ad-libbing his teaching or "channeling" and he giggles a lot. Freud invented the concept, and he had best definition - "the ego is the conscious part of us connecting the id (lower self) and the Superego (higher self). Indeed we cannot do without our "ego", however it needs to be watched. And a "egotistical person" is usually someone who really has a weak sense of self and is trying to compensate. We need balance in life - not too strong ego and not to weak, - to be aware of it like a little child. We are whole complete Beings, and to hate our "ego" is to hate part of us. We cannot function here on earh without our body and our ego. How can we be present without them. I agree with St. Francis that we "need to die to our self, in order to go to Eternal Life". The key word here is "die", as I believe we need neither body nor ego. I have dialogued extensively with Rev. Margaret and Rev. Ed, down here and neither uses the concept anymore that I know of??? You might check in with dear Rev. Margaret about this if any more doubt. Also, listening to readers of ACIM, I had forgotten how masculinized it is. I have enjoyed the DIALOGUE (discussing is dissing and cussing, as I have not felt dissed here, thank you, Bunni Vaughn Healy!

Bunni Vaughan Healy I love ACIM, have for decades. I loveTolle too. And all the others. Now when I read I don't bother with the critique or disagreements. I just take what works as reminders for me cause that's really all I need now. I've whittled down all the theories to three words that work for me: Connect. Express. Repeat. Whatever reminds me to connect, when I'm not connected, that's the ticket. Namaste' <3 span="">

Ron Alexander Connect,Express and Repeat" -love it and believe it. One LOve Bunni Vaugh Healy!

Ron Alexander In conclusion Bunni Vaughn Healy, I have spent months in several ashrams around the world, Usually the resident Guru is trying to "lose his ego", or some quit speaking maintaining they have lost it? Well, they need a lot of servers, and the way the teachers treated them , you could tell they had a lot of ego! Kripalu, the Sat Guru of Yogi Anais Desai, came the closest and he meditated ten hours per day, and some of the best meditations I have had were in meditation roomat Kripalu in Pennsylvania (I was there in 1982 when it was called an Ashram!) Remember, the disgraced Yogi Anais Desai was not a celibate Swami). I think Bill Thetford reached that Grace. Currently, of the teachers I have studied with who have reached that Blissed Out State are Ram Dass and the Rev.Marianne Walker, our Unity founder both there and here in Charleston. Did you know that at her age (80 plus), she attended the ten day Silent Meditation at Vipassana, and now over 12 congregants and Rev. Ed (2X) have been there. I think that is why the one hour meditation groups are so powerful here! And I am glad Rev. Margaret went to one recently. Talking about facing your thoughts (which I think most teachers innocently believe is our "ego"). "As I thinketh, I am..." as opposed to I AM! no mistake, Ron Alexander

Ron Alexander And would you want the bland "egoless" personality Tolle has become?

Ra Divakar Agree wholeheartedly with my Bro, that our real problem is our thinking - even thinking negatively of our"ego". And even if you think your ego is an enemy, then Love it anyway, as Christ has us to do!

 

Jeannette Jeannie Malbrough its not to kill the ego, but to change its reaction, namaste

Ron Alexander Good Jeannette Jeannie Malbrough - yes learn to respond from Spirit, the Heart and not to react from ego! Thanks!
