Post #40

After spending months doing not much more than enjoying myself, I am beginning to feel ready for some risk taking. I'm ready to figure out what I want, how I am going to get it, and hear "no" from everyone and their mother until I am where I want to be.

I could wait to get lucky, for life to hand me something - but I'm in a fightin' mood, so why waste it?

I have a feeling the hardest part is taking the first step - actually setting goals. Once I have a clear vision, it's simply a matter of simple yes or no decisions to keep me in the right direction.

More to come, boo-yah, goodnight

Belief ya"ll

It has been almost a month since I have written. Oh well, I'm back now.

I wrote a post roughly titled Are you a Cynic?  a while back. I was talking about a book I'm reading called Exploring the Unseen World, and its all about paranormal and psychical research. Sometime between writing that post and now I went back to Robert's bookstore and ended up buying Strangers Among Us by Ruth Montgomery (1979). 

This book is one of those books that is so out there most people wouldn't even pick it up. The author has a group of spirit guides that guide her in automatic writing and answer all sorts of her questions about the spiritual world. She talks about The Flow, Walk-ins, the coming shift of the earth's axis, healing energies, and all sorts of other topics. 

The chapter I read this morning was about channeling energies. She was talking about people successfully dissolving clouds "simply by believing it can be done." Her next example: manifesting parking spots. She told a story as an example of this consistently working which astounded me; not because I found it inconceivable  but because it mirrored one of my own experiences almost exactly. 

I found myself smiling reading this whole chapter. In the last year, I have delved into spirituality with an entirely open mind, having no religious conflicts it has really been quite simple. I don't know about dissolving clouds, though if there were a cloud in the sky today I would have tried it. Honestly, I never use to understand why people need to believe in something.

I don't understand it completely yet, but I am beginning to understand that belief may be the most powerful experience we can have. Something science can't explains happens when a person has faith. From the outside looking in it may seem crazy, but when you are the believer... you feel something, a knowing. It is more than a mere thought or identity.

I am always thinking about what I believe. Right now there are only bits and pieces, I can't write a nice neat paragraph on it.
~ Energy, intuition, love - I believe these are powerful things. 

~ I believe we are mind and body, sharing the brain.
~ I believe we are of the Earth and a wrong if we ever believe we own any part of it.
~ Lastly I believe dreams are more than what we think they are. 

It feels personal to talk about, but I think that is only because we are so judgmental about each others beliefs. We keep them to ourselves so they don't get scratched. 

I need to go bring the pup in from the yard, but google Ruth Montgomery and give me your thoughts.
