He who acts defeats his own purpose; He who grasps loses.

~ Lao Tzu ~

Peace is easily maintained;

Trouble is easily overcome before it starts
The brittle is easily shattered;
The small is easily scattered'

Deal with it before it happens.
Set things in order before there is confusion.

A tree as great as a man's embrace springs from a small shoot;
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles starts under one's feet.

He who acts defeats his own purpose;
He who grasps loses
The sage does not act, and so is not defeated.
He does not grasp and therefore he does not lose.

People usually fail when they are on the verge of success.
So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.

Therefore the sage seeks freedom from desire.
He does not collect precious things.
He learns not to hold onto ideas.
He brings men back to what they have lost
He helps ten thousand things find their own nature
But refrains from action.

(From Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - Chapter 64)

Tutu "silences weeping and gives joy to the sad and ill at heart"

and.... Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Pablo Picasso 


ASARU cultivates the sown, conducts water by small channels for seed-time, for shooting green
and harvest grain.   

ASARUALIM - the gods in fear and hope at Council turn to him. He is the light, ASARUALIM NUNNA,  light of the glory of his father.  He is the law of Anu and Enlil and Ea, he is fullness and plenty,  the gods grow fat on his bounty.

TUTU is life renewed that sweetens the sanctuary; should wrath once more rouse up their company he teaches them to repeat the charm that lulls to sleep, he has no peer in that Assembly. In the Enuma Elish it says of Tutu that he "devises the spell by which the gods may be at rest" and that "he is supreme among the assembly of the gods and no one among them is his equal". Another version states Tutu "silences weeping and gives joy to the sad and ill at heart"

Shedding of past karmas (Nirjara)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism 

Jainism prescribes mainly two methods for shedding karmas (Nirjara), accumulated by the soul.

• Passive Method – By allowing past karma's to ripen in due course of time and experiencing the results, both good and bad with equanimity. If the fruits of the past karma's are received with attachment or with agitation then the soul earns fresh karmic bondage's. It is also not possible for the soul to know before-hand when and which karma will start to produce results. Therefore, a person should practice equanimity under all circumstances.
• Active Method – By practicing internal and external austerities (penances or tapas) so as to accelerate the ripening process as well as reducing the effects produced. This is the recommended approach as it prepares and conditions the soul and reminds one to be vigilant.

The internal austerities are

1. Atonement of sinful acts
2. Practice politeness and humility - in spite of having comparatively more wealth, wisdom, social status, power, etc.
3. Service to others, especially monks, nuns, elders and the weaker souls without any expectations in return
4. Scriptural study, questioning and expanding the spiritual knowledge
5. Abandonment of passions – especially anger, ego, deceit and greed
6. Meditation

The external austerities are meant to discipline the sensual cravings. They are

1. Fasting
2. Eating less than one's normal diet
3. Abstention from tasty and stimulating food
4. Practicing humility and thankfulness – by seeking help and offering assistance without egoistic tendencies
5. Practicing solitude and introspection
6. Mastering demands of the body

The planning of the trip is now happening and the pulling together of all of our stuff to take with us.  This is going to be a mission to fact find also.  We need to know what we are up against.

It has been something I have always wanted to do.  I always felt this strong about it.  I have wanted to go but I never could before.

Getaway Plan

Oh my, life is a journey alright.  It is a place where sometimes it is difficult to see the forest for the trees.  Now I fully understand what this saying was trying to tell me.   Life is like this. Yes it is!  Some say it is what you have while you are busy making other plans.  This is true also, as it can getaway on you and  pass you by so quickly. 

Everything that occurs during our lives happens for reasons we cannot fathom.  We should not question too hard either as we are the ones who chose to be born where we were born and so it goes on.. as it does. 

For my Children :  Jesse David, Matilda Sunshine and Montana-Star....
  “This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.”

Mid week Blues, yellows, greens, pinks

It is that time of the week to bring some colour into things and introduce some of the passion of my life into your life.  Why?  Well because to give knowledge or wisdom is a great and colourful gift and so I would like to give you all a great gift.

The Religious, Legal and Monetary systems all sprung from Rome and from very evil greedy Roman leaders.  The  "trust"  as we know it today was initiated by Pope Boniface IIIV in 1302.  They instituted trustees to look after your stuff while you fought their dirty wars for them.  Funny how some never ever got their property back. Not much has changed has it.  They created a "UNIM SANCTUM" ..  this means they have claimed you.  You the person are their property. They own you and they have you registered with a specific number.  They own me too.  I am not going to the next level though and I will decline the microchip thanks.

I really can't deal with this happening in my world where I live.   I am so over the wars of religion and greed.  I am sadly over it.  I say sadly as I have been hoodwinked for my entire life and that is sad.

 Bring back the Hermetical Teachings of truth.  All of the most brilliant people who have walked this earth have been brought up on the Hermetica.  Why?  Because this is where they stole the supposed biblical teachings from.  So you see it is a plagiarized as it  was already written and the Romans just stole it for their use to use it against people for their joy and greed. 

It occurred to me today because I love the study of words that the very word  Monarch could  well convey this well hidden meaning.( archetype of money)  The Monarchy are also subservient to the Vatican and its arms reaching out everywhere across the world as we know it.   The Original Fiscal  control was instigated by these greedy  co-horts of evil.

The western court systems can also be traced back to the Vatican.  This is not justice. This is a joke.  This is all a process and it is rigged and not cost effective.   They say a fool represents himself.  They said this why?  Because they wanted you to think that you needed representation similar to the catholic priest representing you to the Pope and then to God .   This is why it is similar.  The Catholic religion says you  need representation to talk to God and they maintain the only person who can intercede to God is the Pope. This is the similarity  of the courts and judicial system.  You need a lawyer who can intercede to the Judge or Magistrate.  The world Magistrate comes from the Latin word Magistra which is Teacher.  Is not the minister at the local church also called a teacher.

All of this is very hard to take.  I want to tell them to get out of town because as a nation and planet we allow Catholicism to  co-exist with us in this educated day and age.  Well you are not so educated then are you?  I f you believe in the Holy Catholic Church and its false trinity of lies and deception you are the fool.  It is indeed the great prostitute.

Have a nice day and if possible  stay the heck well away from CATHOLICS... This will give you a longer life.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS - Inspired by Toltek wisdom

AGREEMENT ONE
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
AGREEMENT TWO
Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
AGREEMENT THREE
Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
AGREEMENT FOUR
Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you're healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Above is a summary from the beautiful piece of work by Don Miguel Ruiz - "The four Agreements"

  The third agreement was not followed in my case and when some people assumed some stuff they caused a lot of trouble. That person was Paul Rogers of Bellingen.  He contacted my son after assuming something very bad and then took this on as truth.  I wish he had consulted with me instead of spreading the vicious lies that he did and to my son.  Any way the third agreement would have helped me if he had understood this principal.  He has such a NEW AGE mother who perhaps has spoken herself of Toltek wisdom.  He would not have listened.  He was a too clever he thought.  Well not clever enough as the end of it is drawing to a close.  I hope for him that the creation deals with him accordingly and that is according to his vibration..  His vibration is now black and it will attract death.

 The Four Agreements was published in 1997.  The Four Agreements is a life-changing book, whose ideas come from the ancient Toltec wisdom of the native people of Southern Mexico.

The Toltec were 'people of knowledge' - scientists and artists who created a society to explore and conserve the traditional spiritual knowledge and practices of their ancestors. The Toltec viewed science and spirit as part of the same entity, believing that all energy - material or ethereal - is derived from and governed by the universe.

Don Miguel Ruiz, born and raised in rural Mexico, was brought up to follow his family's Toltec ways by his mother, a Toltec faith healer, and grandfather, a Toltec 'nagual', a shaman. Despite this, Don Miguel decided to pursue a conventional education, which led him to qualify and practice for several years as a surgeon.

Following a car crash, Don Miguel Ruiz reverted to his Toltec roots during the late 1970's, first studying and learning in depth the Toltec ways, and then healing, teaching, lecturing and writing during the 1980's and 90's, when he wrote:

The Four Agreements  (1997),

The Mastery of Love (1999),

The Four Agreements Companion Book (2000),

 Prayers (2001).

Don Miguel Ruiz survived a serious heart attack 2002, since when his teachings have been largely channelled through seminars and classes run by his followers, notably his sons Don Jose Luis and Don Miguel Ruiz Junior.

The simple ideas of The Four Agreements provide an inspirational code for life; a personal development model, and a template for personal development, behaviour, communications and relationships.

LOVE

There is no such thing as the will of God apart from your own divine will. If God wanted life to be as mundane as of a singular expression, he never would have created you into being, nor would he have given you the will to express your own purposeful uniqueness.

What is called the will of God was created by man so that he could govern and control his brothers. Yet if you believe that teaching and see God’s will as separate from yours, then you will always be in the battle of his will versus yours, for you will want to do certain things and feel you must; yet the will of God says you must not.

God is not separate from you. You and he are one and the same. Your will is his will. Whatever you want to do is what you term divine providence, divine will. So you are never in conflict with destiny, for destiny is not preordained; it is ordained wholly by you. Everything you think creates your moments to come. Your very "now" moment is simply the product of the thoughts you had moments ago. That is the science of God. The only thing the Father wills for you is to experience the totality of life that he is, according to the feelings within your soul. 

Why?  So that you come to understand what joy is and the unconditional love that God has for you and all life. If you feel you are at odds with God, perhaps you should reconstruct your image of what God is, for I tell you he is not all-loving if you must fight him.

In the beginning when the Father contemplated his most splendid self, he expanded himself into the splendor of light. It was from that expansion in light that each of you became God in the form of a unique, singular movement so that you would continue the expansion of thought into forever.  In order for God to be an ever-expanding uniqueness through your contemplative thoughts, it was necessary to give each of you the power to create uniquely from the thought that he is.  He did this by giving you the action called free will. The principle of will was given to each of you so that you would be unique and sovereign, so that you would be the creator of your own truth, sovereign in your own understanding.

What gives you your divine essence is that you have the freedom to embrace and experience whatever thoughts you desire. And that divine essence, called free will, is love. It is the gift of love from God to each of you. Each of you has the divine essence of will so that you have the freedom to create uniquely whatever ideal you envision through thought.

Love in its ultimate form is the desire of the Father to allow the life that he is to be  ongoing through each of you. The purest form of love is the freedom of will that the Father gave each of you so that through the exercise of that will you would explore the dimensions of thought and expand yourself into a greatness, which expands the mind of God.

Free will gives you a uniqueness — yet a oneness with the Father — that permits your thought processes to have their own creative flow. And every moment you create through the contemplation and expansion of your own thoughts, you imitate the same love that the Father had for himself when he created you into being, for creation is the act of bringing love from within your being into a unique, free-moving, creative form, which will live on into forever.

From the illustrious moment of your birth, the Father gave each of you through pure, unconditional love this covenant: Whatever you think, whatever you desire, the Father shall become. Through that covenant — that still is and always shall be — each of you became the heir to the totality of what the Father is. Thus the Father always gives you all that he has become so that you can experience and understand the totality of life that he is. He is the basis of the fulfillment of your dreams.  But who is the dream-maker? You!

What are your dreams made of?  Thought, God, life. You can take from the totality of thought that God is and create any truth, any attitude, any desire you wish. Whatever truth or attitude you create in your thought processes, the Father, life, readily becomes. Whatever ideal of thought you desire, the Father freely manifests through the matter that he is so that you may experience it. To give you an example of God’s love for you, let us look at the creature called a snake, an ideal created by a God for the purpose of extended life in a life chain. This creature has a long, slender body with many muscles and many bones. It moves very swiftly and has a very big head with fangs that can puncture you as its only defense. Though its bite can bring down a man of great size within moments, any man could hack the snake to bits or easily crush it. Now let us take two Gods. The first, who has a scientific mind, sees the snake as a wonderful creation, for it can move very swiftly, even without feet, and has a beautiful pattern and color to its skin, and a marvelous skeleton that seems to go on and on and on.
The second God comes up and says that the snake is hideous and vile, it is an awful creature because its bite is dangerous, and it can kill a man.

To the Father, the truth of all life, all things are pure in their state of being. All things are innocent in their expression of the life that he is. It is only each entity’s attitude toward something that makes it a beautiful or a vile, ugly thing. It is only we Gods — who have the creative ability to take from the thought that the Father is, contemplate it, and alter it — who judge something that is really pure and innocent as something other than being. 

How great is the love of God, which is the life substance that the snake is, that he gives you, his greatest creation, the right to cast your attitude and will upon the snake however you choose. The love that the life source has for you is so great that it will become any one thing that you desire through thought. The Father will be anything you wish him to be. He will allow you to alter him in any way you wish to alter him. The life that he is will become vile or ugly or vulgar, or it will become to the height of beauty, however you wish to see it.

Now is that not a wondrous thing, that the Father will become however you perceive and desire him to be simply through the whims of your thought processes? Indeed it is. That is love. You can do with thought whatever you will, for the Father’s love for you is steadfast.

No matter how vile or wretched you perceive the life that God is, to him it is still him. It is still God. It is still pure, and it is still loved. That promise is unshakable, for the Father is of himself wholly without attitudes;  he simply is. 

The love between you and God has no condition. If the Father in any way censored your thoughts or restricted you from experiencing the totality of the life that he is, then you would not have the freedom to continue his expansion into forever. Neither would you gain the wisdom from your adventures in thought in order to understand the love and joy that the Father truly is in his supreme state of being.

God loves you in complete freedom to do as you will, for your will is his will.  That is the covenant between God and his sons, God and himself. Whatever you do, wherever you venture unto him, you are always loved. He allows you to do whatever you desire, for he knows that you are ongoing, that nothing can ever take you from him. The Father has created no thing superior to himself that can remove your life force ever, so you will always  be. And when your life here is spent, there will be yet another, with the freedom to create it however you choose.

You will live this life and all of those to come according to your will. And what has given you the freedom to do that is that which loves you, that which is called your Father, God Almighty, the lover of all things. You are free entities. How? Through the power called will and the ability called love.

Stop trying to impress people by being someone you're not because in the end, you'll lose yourself. (Anonymous)

 This one is anonymous..  no person left a name for this piece of wisdom in the 90 year old lady's collection of wisdom.  Be yourself because you have a purpose.

 
If everything on this Earth in nature is made with good purpose in mind, what makes you think that you are junk?

You are made for a purpose as well so therefore you are so precious. 

Be that precious person and don't pretend to be someone else to please other people! 

Live and laugh and love like there is no tomorrow because tomorrow is promised to no man so live and be yourself today and achieve your purpose and the reason you were created for.
