I Met A Man Ringing Two Bells.......

Today I walked not knowing where the road led. I met a bell ringer singing lovely songs. Her voice is her gift, I send a blessing "may God bless her and send her on her path, her voice should not be for the few but for all".
I met another bell ringer filled with joy, he rang two bells and smiled at everyone who passed. He did not withhold his cheer from the sternest of folks. I watched as he pried open hearts. I know that spirit! It runs through me! I stopped to chat and said "so when did the spirit reach you!" he knew exactly what I meant and I knew he would. That spirit waits for each of us to open up and turn to it. Just ask and it will visit you soon! Can you put aside your differences? Can you try to see things from a forgiving and kind heart? Did you ever fall in love? Can you spread that love for one into love for all? Can you humble yourself for just a brief instant and ask for help from above or within, it doesn't matter which you believe.........just that you believe.
I talked for two hours to a man named Terry, his heart opened some years back. I wonder if he is real or if I am in the presence of angels, I really don't know. You see I met one once and you really can't tell them apart from anyone else. Perhaps everyone already awakened and I am the last............you could all be angels, how would I know? Is my time running low? Or am I being pounded into a messenger, is that why this pain I carry is in the shape of a cross.
I really don't know.
thank-you Terry for the two hours, you gave me some added strength and I really needed to see, others are coming awake too. May the Creator open anyones heart who passes and reads this.

love and peace

I can, but i need to stop defeating myself. I need to open up, and just let go, and allow my Spirit to Drive. Right now there are many obstacles in my path, i need to get through one obstacle at a time, until the path is once Again Clear, to move Freely, without the stumbling.

Many Blessings

I was in a "defeat pattern" for many long years.......
All shifted one day as I promised myself "I will seek UNTIL I find" ; I knew not what I would find.
I too tried to clear one obstacle at a time until I grew too damn tired!
One obstacle tends to be replaced by another, over and over again.

There is another way!

It is called the Middle Way.

Rather than trying to overcome the obstacles, LOOK at them without acting upon them.
Focus all the Conscious Non-Reactivity you can muster and simply LOOK.
Beyond each obstacle is a "Force" which is holding the obstacle in place. This "Dark Force" is not Evil not wrong, it is merely a force which is been divided and cut off from its other half. "Luna" or "Shadow" is rejoined ....transformed by the Light of Conscious Awareness.

This is a Conscious choice to dissolve once and for all the pattern which binds and holds lead as lead. Conscious Awareness refines the lead into gold , simply by looking at it until it dissolves.

This is proper "Action without action", the "effortless effort", it works quite quickly when worked with. The man who runs from the tiger is sure to be eaten! The man who stands and facing the tiger with no fear(calls its bluff), is unharmed. Observe this in nature.....don't start with tigers though.....lol; start with deer. Deer stand there ground when you get to close and a buck may well attack a man. They stomp their feet saying "go away, I am in charge here!" Watch them and do not turn. Stomp your feet back and watch as they run away. I know the deer because I live among them during the day. They know me too and rarely stomp their feet more then once! Gorillas will actually "charge" a person who gets too close, this too is a bluff! Do nothing and they will stop the apparent "attack". Our own Shadow-side is like this, it sets up all obstacles so we never see the "bluff". SEE THE BLUFF and The Battle is won, the war may linger awhile but if one sticks to this way, that one will find Inner Freedom and a most glorious Life. Carl Jung, Manly P Hall, Vernon Howard, Guy Finley, Eckhart Tolle, Francis Melville, Gerald Jampolsky, Paulo Coelho, and many more LIVED this Truth and wrote quite eloquently about it.
Knowing it is not enough.........
Doing it makes it happen!

Then, even the doing fades and Being simply IS.

It Yours just as well as mine to claim. Source is not a respecter of "personas/Ego". Source dissolves this "illusion" and replaces it with an intense state of feeling "Alive and Free." Observe closely the lives of those I mentioned and you will begin to see a pattern behind the man, that pattern is your True identity.

Unconditional Love, Joy, Happiness, are not outside; they are inside .............ironically, they are part of the Shadow when it is transformed. The obstacle becomes the Life! It makes one laugh to Realize this! The Pain transmutes into laughter!

Blessings.........
