Communion

The Topic for this week's Living the Four Agreement Wisdom Group is a quote from The Circle of Fire Prayer:
"When Living our free will and with all the power of our spirit,
We decide to live our lives in free communion with God,
With no expectations."
~Don Miguel Ruiz

Truth is Love

For this coming Wednesday at 3pm, we will be pondering the quote,

"Only the truth can set us free form the fear, drama, and conflict in our lives.
When we release our faith from lies, we recover our 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."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

Playing

The topic for this coming Wisdom Group on Wednesday at 3pm is the quote:

"Play like a child.
The happiest moments in your life are when you are playing just like a child, when you are singing and dancing, when you are exploring and creating just for fun. It is wonderful when you behave like a child, because this is the normal human tendency."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love

Stories and Perceptions

"Everything I believe about myself is just a story.
In my story, everything is about me, and is has to be that way because I am the center of my perception.
The story is told from my point of view."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

Always Do Your Best

Today was my first picnic by the river for 2009. A gorgeous sunny day.


The topic for this week's discussion group is:

"Take action without expecting a reward. Do your best and take the action because you love it, not because you expect a reward when you take action without expecting a reward, you enjoy every action, and you can even receive greater rewards than you imagined."
~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

The Force and Transformation

The topic for this Wednesday is:


"There is only one force that moves and transforms everything.
The force that moves the stars is the same force that moves the atoms in my body. This force is always present and obvious for me to see, but I cannot see it when my attention is focused on lies."

~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

Embrace your Freedom with Love

The topic for this week at The Living the Four Agreement Wisdom Group is:


"Don't take anything personally.
Embrace your freedom.

You gain a huge amount of freedom when you take nothing personally. No spell can affect you regardless of how strong it may be. And if you live without fear. If you love. You will be happy with your life."

~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Love and Self Love

This week's Wisdom Group will contemplate the quote:

"Transform your life with self-love.
From now on, let every action, every reaction, every thought, and every emotion be based on love.
Increase your self-love until the entire dream of your life is transformed from fear and drama to love and joy."

~by Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love

Awareness is the Key

For the next Wisdom Group the card was picked:

"It's my nature to make up stories, to interpret everything I perceive.
Without awareness, I give my personal power to the story, and the story writes itself.
With awareness, I recover the control of my story. I see that I am the author, and if I don't like my story, I change it."

~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

Snow Beauty

We had a huge snowfall here on the east coast of Vancouver Island. Then the temperature dipped down to an amazing -17 degrees and froze my water pipes :>(

The Beauty is amazing.

The roads may be impassable for the Silent Group and Wisdom Group this week. I had also planned a potluck/social for Wednesday evening that doesn't look good.

More practice to loving what is.

Creating a dream of beauty

I went to the river with my dog, at the end of November, enjoyed a hike, a picnic and sunbathing sans clothing.....I am so grateful that I live in paradise (for me.)

The topic for this week's Wisdom Group is:

"God, the supreme artist, uses our life for the creation of art.
We are the instruments through which the force of life expresses itself. We express our art in everything we say, everything we feel, and everything we do. The creation is ongoing, it is endless, it is happening in every moment."

~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

peace and love

The topic for this week is the quote:

"Don't take anything personally.
See other people as they are.
When you see other people as they are without taking it personally, you can never be hurt by what they say or do. Even if others lie to you, it is okay. They are lying to you because they are afraid you will discover that they are not perfect."
~ by Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

Faith is your Power

The topic for the upcoming Four Agreement Wisdom Group is the quote,

"Be impeccable with your word.
Cultivate Faith. To have great faith is to have great power because your intent, your will is undivided. When your word isn't dissipated by doubt, the power of your word becomes even stronger."

~ by Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

Enigma as Maze~

Follows, is a poem written a few years ago by Jim White:



"The Enigma as Maze, a comfortable view of radical visions.
She says, we do not allow the affairs of the day to interfere with our joy our bliss.
She says the Goddess does not want us to wallow in the mire of human despondence.
She says we must ignore the evils that man suggests are vested on his contemporaries by his contemporaries.
There is no evil, god's creations are all perfect
There is no universal suffering there is only today, today to be lived with Love and acceptance She rejects the 6 O'clock news, its just more depression
She rejects the sins of the past, they are gone they are no more, there is only now
She ponders mans inhumanity. Declaring what! I am not sure. She says there is only now.
She says that everything is Love, we breath it in and that's all we can breath out
She says that she is god, that god is all there is and they are one, the all embracing oneness. There is no duality only a singularity that transcends all thus it follows that all is done by one to one,
I get lost soon and I ignore that version of the 6 pm news, I wallow in my happiness, my illusion, my dream.
My dream only has angles in it, angles of Love and kindness.
Yet yesterday I saw a man who fell at his work, a whip as large as the world, his world, fell on him time and time again.
His dream must not be as good as mine, is there an as good, as mine?.
Is he excluded from the one or do I feel the whip as well even as I sit in the splendour my dream has brought me.
Or perhaps he is illusionary or I may be. And still the answer is surely clear everything I have said is illusion, there is no man there is no whip there is only now.
There is no yesterday there is no tomorrow and now is most intriguing of all as it must be yesterday today (the now) and tomorrow all in one or nothing at all.
Another man said in another time, which is illusionary, what you do to these the least of my brethren you do to me.
What happened?

-Jim White

Through the Eyes of Love

The topic for the upcoming Wisdom Group is a quote from the book, The Voice of Knowledge.

"When your will is free, your choices come from your integrity, not from the program, that liar in your head. Now you believe whatever you want to believe, and when you have the power to believe whatever you want, something very interesting happens. What you want is to love . You don't want anything else but love because you know that what is not love is not the truth!"

~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz, pages 136/7

Speak from your Heart

The topic for this week is the quote:

"Let your heart speak.
The heart is in direct communication with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes. Your heart opens another heart and true love is possible. "
