Don't Take It Personally!!!!

The Topic for next Tuesday, September 14th's Wisdom Group is the quote:

"Whatever people do, feel, think, or say, don't take it personally. Others are going to have their own opinion according to their belief system, so whatever they think about you is not about you but is about them."

~ don Miguel Ruiz

I had a beautiful summer and now look forward to seeing you all again.
peace and love

YES

You don't have to go back and deal with childhood issues, because those childhood issues produced a vibration within you that you are still offering -- which is producing today issues. You can shift your vibration a whole lot easier when you're dealing with today issues, than trying to deal with childhood issues. It's the same vibration. That vibration that was creating childhood issues, now it's creating today issues. Deal with it in your now. "Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better?"

Head's up

Dear All,

At the moment, we will continue to meet on Tuesdays at 4pm. At some point I will break for the summer and then resume in September. And what I mean by Summer is Sun!

Next week, for the topic of the Living the 4 Agreements Wisdom Group will be "Breaking old agreements that are not serving us any longer" We will dip into the tool bag of the toltec tradtion of "Stalking"
"Stalking Practices - Stalking is a set of practices to uncover the habits and agreements we have in our daily life and to notice which of them are useful and which are detrimental to our overall being"

peace and love--

4 AGREEMENT TOPIC

"You are what you believe you are. Humans are powerful magicians. You have the power to make yourself what you are right now, but it's not your reasoning mind that controls your power; its what you believe."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

If you had one goal, and that was to feel good, you would never again need to hear another word from anyone. You would live successfully and happily and in a way of fulfilling your life's purpose ever after.

--- Abraham

Thank you Jerry and Esther Hicks!

A-a-a-a-n-d......the topic is:

"When you have faith in yourself, you follow every instinct that you were born with. You have no doubt about what you are, and you return to common sense."
~by Don Miguel Ruiz from The 5th Agreement

peace and love

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

Dear All,

This week for the 4 Agreement Wisdom group on Tuesday at 4pm is the topic of:

"Don't take anything personally.
Transform your life. 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."

~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

The Topic for the meeting on Tuesday at 4 pm is:

"But the most important messages are the ones you deliver to yourself. What are those messages? The word is a force you cannot see, but you can see the manifestation of that force, the expression of the word, which is your own life. The way to measure the impeccability of your word is to ask yourself: Am I happy or am I suffering? If you're suffering, it's because you're telling yourself a story that isn't true, but you believe it. "
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The 5th Agreement

Peace and love

Dreaming

Dear All,


A card was picked for the topic with the quote;

"I am dreaming my life in this moment. I live in a world of illusion made by images of light. The story I create is a virtual reality that is only true for me, the one who creates it."

from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

"If your dominant intent is to feel joy while you are doing the work, your triad of intentions—freedom, growth and joy—will come quickly and easily into alignment. See your "career" as one of creating a joyful life experience. You are not a creator of things or a regurgitator of what someone else has created or a gatherer of stuff. You are a creator, and the subject of your creation is your joyful life experience. That is your mission. That is your quest. That is why you are here."

~Abraham Hicks

LOVE

Dear All,

The next topic for the 4 at 4 (every Tuesday at 3107 Quennell Road) will be the quote:

"Love is all around you.
You search for love outside yourself when love is all around you. Love is everywhere, but you need to have the eyes to see."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

The topic for the 4 at 4 this week is the quote:

"Always do your best. Practice makes the master. By doing your best over and over you can master the art of transformation. By doing your best, the habits of misusing your word, taking things personally, and making assumptions will become weaker and weaker and less frequent with time."

~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

AWARENESS IS KEY

This week for the 4 at 4:

"Awareness is always the first step because if you are not aware, there is nothing you can change. If you are not aware that your mind is full of wounds and emotional poison, you cannot begin to clean and heal the wounds and you will continue to suffer."
~ from The Four Agreements, page 99, by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

LET GO...............

"Always do your best.
Surrender and let go of the past.
Whatever Life takes away from you, let it go.
When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means that you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now."
~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

This is the topic for this weeks meeting Tuesday at 4:00

peace and love

ALL WE WANT IS TO LOVE

This week at Tuesday's 4 at 4, we will be considering the quote:

"Only the truth can set us free from the fear, drama, and conflict in our lives.
When we release our faith from lies, we recover free will and make our own choices. And when we recover the power to believe whatever we want to believe, all we want is to love."

~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

DRUM AND MUSIC NIGHT

Hurray!
Drum and Music-Making Night returns.
WE will meet every Monday night at 3107 Quennell Road at 7pm. It will be an informal Music circle with each of us taking turns being the "leader".

MAKE MAGIC

The topic for this week's meeting is the quote:
"Be Impeccable with your word.
Become a white magician. All the magic you possess is based on your word, and you cast spells all the time with your opinions. You can either put a spell on someone with your word, or you can release someone from a spell."
~from The 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

WITH LOVE

The topic for this week's 4 Agreement support group is:

" I choose to write my story with love.
Love is the material that comes directly from what I really am. In my story, what is real is my love."

~From The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

We will meet every Tuesday at 4pm to support each other in living the 4 agreements. (The 4 @ 4)
Peace and love

BLAZE

Thank you Blaze for being in my life for so long.
You were an amazing horse. So willing and eager and jaunty.
May your spirit fly free.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

Do your best because you want to.
You do your best when you are enjoying the action of doing it in a way that will not have negative repercussions for you. You do your best because you WANT to do it --- Not because you are trying to please the judge, and not becausse you are trying to please other people.
~by Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

Relinquish Self Importancs

Dear All,

We will meet every Tuesday at 4pm to support each other in living the 4 agreements.
This week's topic is the quote:
"Don't take anything personally. Relinquish self importance. Personal importance or taking things personally is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about "me"."
from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

I AM 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

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:

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....

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
