In The Moment

In The Moment -

Quite often as we journey through life, we find ourselves anticipating, sometimes with a sense of dread, what we think might be up ahead of us.

The usual response might be to worry, or to try not to worry – or any number of solutions to distract ourselves, or to solve a problem that hasn’t appeared yet.

Of course if you are concerned about carbon monoxide you should get your furnace checked.  If you’re worried about your health, maybe there are some changes in your life style you should be making.  So I’m not talking about those things.

I’m talking about the sense of dread over the unknown – and the only way we will ever deal with that is in the moment it is happening.

There is something we can do, however, to be prepared for those moments and it goes something like this:

Dear God,  the next time I experience confusion, grant me the clarity to know what to do.  The next time I am filled with doubt, flood me with memories of all the times You have helped me.  The next time I experience fear, remind me immediately of how powerful You are, and how powerful I am when I let You work in my life.   Thank You.

Prayers like that will always be answered – and you will get your answer in the moment you need it.

May you have a blessed day.
Love, Elaine

Comparisons

Comparisons -

Recently, I watched an episode of ‘Hoarders’ on TV. Have you ever seen that show?  It’s about people who live for years without ever throwing out the trash – or anything else.  After watching that, my house looked pretty good to me.  I could even skip spring cleaning this year and still feel pretty superior if I choose too.  Then again, I have a few friends who live immaculate lives.  After I visit them I could come home and be dismayed by water spots on my kitchen faucet if I choose to.

Most of the standards we have for our lives live within a field of comparison.  We see how other people do things, and how other people think, and we find our comfort zone in the middle of that.

To be a ‘free thinker’ has often, in our history, been equated with something so radical and different that it shouldn’t be trusted.

Today I am challenging everybody to become a ‘free thinker’.  Take a subject – any subject – and hold it up for examination.  Why do you feel that way about the subject?  Is it shared by your family, friends, church or society?  Have you ever thought it through before, or have you just accepted what somebody else told you?  What to YOU really believe?

I saw a video the other day about the different functions of the different sides of our brain.  For most of our lives, and particularly when we started school, the part that conforms has been nurtured more than the part that imagines and dreams and figures things out for itself.  Many of us need to make deliberate conscious choices to expand our intuitive and creative side.

It is ironic that in order to reach true unity with our fellow man, we must first claim our independence of thought, but we do.  The desire for meaningful unity has to be born from a strong sovereign self-assured spirit.

Today may you be inspired to journey inward to find your independent creative self.  May you then desire to be part of something even greater.

Most People

Most People -

Most people know that our government is corrupt on many levels.  Most people know that our drug companies benefit from keeping us sick.  Most people know that our education system is flawed. Most people don’t know what to do about it, and so they become complacent.   Some people speak out, and some people are working hard to change the status quo.

Today’s message is simple but profound.  If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.  Complacency got us where we are today.  THEY did it – but WE let them.

The solution for you is very simple.  You must start to care.
Once you start to care, you must forgive yourself for not caring sooner.
Once you forgive yourself, you must start to become educated.
Once you educate yourself, you must not be overwhelmed by what has gone on before.
Once you are at peace with what has gone on before, you must discover that there is a greater purpose to this existance.
Once you discover the greater purpose you will realize that everyone has been playing a part.
Once you understand that everyone has been playing a part, you must come to compassion.
One you find a peaceful and compassionate place within yourself, you must open up to love.
Once you can love, you can direct it with an open heart and open eyes to all concerned.
Once you embody love for all, you will be part of the solution.
Once you are part of the solution you will see something constructive to do to help.
Once you do it, our world will heal.

Have a blessed day.
Love, Elaine

A Very Important Story

A Very Important Story -

There is a story in the Bible about a man who owned a vineyard.  He hired people to work all day for a certain amount of money and the people were happy with the deal.  When the day was almost over he hired still a few more to finish out the day – fewer hours -  the same amount of money as the ones hired earlier.

Some people would say ‘that is not fair’ —the people who worked longer should get more.  I understand – it doesn’t seem fair.  In third dimensional thinking it is not fair.  BUT – we want to leave 3d, right?  We want to leave polarity, and disparity, and war and suffering, don’t we?  Then our thinking has to get more expansive.

We have to become grateful that we got to spend the whole day in the vineyard gaining experience and getting to know our fellow workers.

We have to find the love in our hearts to welcome the latecomers, and be glad that they finally found their way to a place that would take them in.

We have to love the owner of the vineyard, and realize that if we had been one of those who found our way here last, we would still be welcomed and cared for and given all we need.

This heartfelt compassion, understanding, and acceptance of the latecomers, is going to be CRUCIAL in the days and weeks and months to come.  We are going to be hearing many stories about people who took advantage of us, are now sorry, and want to come along with us.

Can you forgive them, accept them and welcome them?  It’s a lot to think about, but consider this:   Had you been born in different circumstances, it could be you that wants to get on board during the final hours.  I can only speak for myself to those who are coming late to the party.  I welcome you.  I’m glad you made it.

Blessings, Elaine
