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

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

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

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."

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

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.

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"."

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."

THE LIE OF "I AM NOT PERFECT"

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
