THE LIE OF "I AM NOT PERFECT"

We are meeting every Tuesday at 4 to support each other in living the 4 Agreements. The topic for this week is the quote:
"All of the drama humans suffer is the result of believing in lies, mainly about ourselves.
The first lie we believe is "I am not the way I should be, I am not perfect." It's just a story, but we believe it, and we stop being ourselves and start searching for an image of perfection."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

ABRAHAM HICKS WISDOM

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness. And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection -- you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.

--- Abraham

FOR HEIDI

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

"Don't take anything personally.
When you refuse to take things personally you avoid many upsets in your life. Your feelings of anger, jealousy- and even your sadness- will simply disappear if you don't take things personally."

Jorge Luis Delgado

Jorge Luis Delgado came to speak at our local "Nanaimo Metaphysical Society" about Love, Service and Wisdom. He is an Inca from Peru, travelling about to share the wisdom of his elders.
He spoke very good English and was extremely open minded. Here are some of his words;

"In the ancient traditions the Incas were considered to be the Children of the Sun, and all people were considered to be Incas. We have as our heritage the Light from the sun that reflects the Sun behind the sun, or the Divine Oneness of the Cosmos.
We are all called to be Incas and share in this heritage regardless of our cultural background, religion, or beliefs. The wisdom of the ancient Incas is for all people, everywhere on Pachamama, Mother Earth. Presently we are entering PachaKuti or the New Sunrise. In the Inca tradition the earth has 500 year cycles of darkness and light on a spiritual level. I believe that there is presently a great deal of positive energy extended to us by the Cosmos to make positive spiritual changes on our beautiful planet. We are entering the Sunrise of Light. What a wonderful time to be alive!"

Art of Dreaming

"A Toltec is an artist of Love, an artist of the Spirit, someone who is creating every moment, every second, the most beautiful art ---the Art of Dreaming.
Life is nothing but a dream, and if we are artists, then we can create our life with Love, and our dream becomes a masterpiece of art."

from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

"Our Emotions tell us how we are doing in our life.
If we don't like our emotional reaction, we need to clean up the lies that we believe.
By following our emotions, we change our beliefs, and our circumstances change."

NANAIMO SKY JULY 25TH AT SUNSET

BIG SKY COUNTRY

Don't make assumptions.
Ask for what you want. Find the courage to ask for what you want. Others have the right to tell you yes or no but you always have the right to ask.
Likewise, everybody has the right to ask you for what they want, and you have the right to say yes or no.

What a Relief!!!

"You no longer have the need to be good enough for anybody, including
yourself. You accept what you are, whatever you are, even if you don't
know what you are. And you don't care to know anymore. It's not
important to know, and that is wisdom." ~Don Miguel Ruiz

"This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.
This is a gathering of Lovers"
