Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

More on Dannion and his Twilight Brigade (no vet. should die alone)
Debbie Strandell-Johnson Ron Alexander, I am familiar with Dannion Brinkley, though have not heard of his *Twilight Brigade*. Speaking from my heart and also as a nurse, NO ONE should die alone. It pains me that my son did, and sometimes that's just the way it is, though I would always try to be with someone who was dying. It's an honor to sit quietly with someone as they pass into spirit heart emoticon Many people would ask me how I could be around so much death and dying...like isn't that depressing? I would tell them NO, not for me. It was a very spiritual experience, and like I said, I felt (spiritually) honored to be there with them. All those many experiences grew my heart and soul in ways words could never convey. heart emoticon
Debbie Strandell-Johnson I am not drawn to doing the non-profit...right now anyway! I allow life to unfold as it will, and I AM pleasantly surprised at what pops up, so I never say never, lol! I will just say from experience that when I follow my heart and my intuition, I land right where I'm supposed to BE in that moment, even when it is not what I expected at times. I have also learned that delays are not denials, because my experience has been that when I AM prepared to take on a life experience, it will be there for me. So many times I have dreamed of doing this or that only to find that it was years before those opportunities presented themselves within other experiences. There seems to be a connection Ron Alexander! Let's just say that I've learned to TRUST in life unfolding for my highest and best evolution, and I leave the timing to God/Universe heart emoticon
- Debbie Strandell-Johnson You answered your own question really with the Charles F. Glassman quote, which is really all I've been saying, lol! Life never seems to be a straight line from A to B!
Ron Alexander "Charles F. Glassman" ??? What quote - I am really interested and thanks for your feedback - helps me to "relax" into knowing Divine will lead me on my path and to enjoy it along the way.
- Debbie Strandell-Johnson The one up above grin emoticon "Faith is knowing that when life doesn't go quite as planned, it is, in fact, exactly as planned." Ron Alexander wrapping you in big hugs xoxoxo
Ron Alexander Wow, i got so much out of that post and did not even read his name. - "BIG HUGS" THANKS SO MUCH DEAR DEBBIE!
Peace in your Heart FULLY!
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

populate the galaxy with love seeds - seeds of divine purpose.
Mindfulness Helps us to be a human being rather than a human doing
"The practice of moment-to-moment nonjudgmental awareness brings to focus what is happening in the moment, and it is only in the present moment that you can make changes. As you open your awareness to what is unbalanced and come to recognize unconscious habitual tendencies, you can begin to promote balance and well-being." Bob Stahl, PH.D.

Promote Love
The law of attraction cannot change anything in your life that you hate, because hate is a powerful emotion that sticks what you hate to you. The law of attraction doesn't discriminate between good and bad it simply gives you more of what you're thinking and feeling. www.thesecret.tv
Dannion Brinkley's Twilight Parade - No Vet. Should Die Alone
Dannion Brinkley's Twilight Parade - no vet. should die alone...
Theda Parks: It's no mistake for the change. It was impossible for you to be with Barry when he took his leave, and you've grieved for years. I see you having that opportunity through Hospice. The man who wrote "Saved by the Light" is Dannion Brinkley... I met him a number of years ago when he spoke in Bethesda, MD.. His near-death experience in 1975 set him on his life's journey. He created the Twilight Brigade.. teaching volunteers about spending time with veterans who are in hospice. He doesn't believe any vet should be alone in their last hours. If you haven't already, you may want to check it out. XOXO
Ron Alexander: Yes, I have read Dannion Brinkley's Books and saw him with alot of other people in a workshop he gave in Sacramento in the late 80's or 90's. He felt like a Bro! I will try to contact him again and see him before my orientation on July 6th. Thanks a lot. I am sure you could teach me alot with your chaplain training too! lotsappreciation, ron
Dear Dannion, I have recently been assigned to the Hospice here at Charleston VA. It was kind of a surprise - very pleasant though, as my most fulfilling work has been with life-threatened young adults at Dr. Jerry Jampolsky's Center for Attitudinal Healing then in Tiburon, Ca. That was about the time I met you in Sacramento with a couple of hundred other students. I have enthusitically read all your books, and have been doing Digital Stories online for vets, until VA recentl...y pulled the plug on me for now. It was kind of a relief as the Hospice was my first request as a volunteer. Also, I do not start that job until July 6th - any time to meet with you? or other recommendations for this work? Blessings, Ron Alexander

Ron Alexander What do you think, a respected friend/teacher says I ought to concentrate the digital stories on family and friends of vets instead of vets themselves? Your feedback is important to me dear Debbie Strandell-Johnson and have you ever heard of Dannion Brinkley and his "Twilight Brigade" - "no vet should die alone" ?
Look Within to find God
Today's Message - Everything you need truly is within you... just listen! ~ heart emoticon ~
Richard Kent Matthews Unfortunately, for 1600 years, the Church has taught differently. God is outside. We are worthless. And deserve hell. But HE has seen fit to save us from our nasty fallen state. To say god is within is heresy. God cannot live where sin is the master. And that's us. So, god there, us here, the chasm cannot be crossed. Except by Jesus, who holds us by the scruff of the neck over the fire, saying, Believe in me or I let go. That's what Daddy told me to do. Not any of those other false spiritual geniuses. That's the belief of at least a billion point five people on the planet. Can that chasm ever be bridged? Can you convince all those folks that there really is a god within and not just a Satanic New Age falsehood? Hard to say.

Well Richard, I was raised as a "Christian", and at the age of 8, I attended a Christian youth camp, where I accepted Jesus as my savior. The subsequent "high" was unlike anything I had experienced up to that time. Later, at around 21, I decided to get baptized (again) to renew my faith. It was only after many years of study and other experiences, that I realized there is a lot more to it, than proclaiming or thinking I am "born again" (another silly phrase). In later years, I have been able to sort out most of the blind indoctrinations of youth, and have come to realize that "belief" is one of the worst thing that can befall a person - because "belief" is what blocks us from the unknown. I no longer call myself a Christian because I see no point doing so. Let's remember, Jesus wasn't a Christian either.
