"The Universe is not discriminating about the rightness or the wrongness of your request. It is here to accommodate all requests. All you have to do is be a Vibrational Match to your request, and the Universe will yield it to you." Abraham-Hicks

I was talking with my partner the other day about manifestation and
attraction as he was telling me about someone new he was reading.
This prompted me to tell him what I felt it was about after doing the
healing work I have been doing. You see when I am bringing through
the healings I am working on the energetic field which manifests in the
physical and/or emotional realm. This has solidified my belief that it is
all energy and energy can be manipulated by how we are with it. Energy
meets like energy, if you feel good and vibrate good, good is attracted.
If you feel crummy and vibrate crummy, crummy is created. If you feel
your life is going downhill it does. If you feel it is turning a corner it does.
You catch my drift. Money, health, houses, things, they are all smoke
and mirrors, magic created by ones energetic vibration. How do we
change energy? Our feelings and realizations. Notice I did not say think
when describing what created what. Feelings are very powerful vibrators
of energy, they are our magic wand, keep waving the happy wand and
happy you will get. Be patient though, because momentum is involved
we have to hold that space for a while to change the momentum of the
flow of energy that is already moving.

I added realization because realization changes feelings. I have realized
I have turned a corner, it is no longer a story I am telling myself, so I feel
happy. Now I know changing how we feel can be one of the most difficult
tasks there is. I do it by listening to the stillness. When negativity comes
into my consciousness I get back to listening to the stillness as quickly
as I remember. It has been a matter of practice. It is my way of turning
it over and leaping into the ocean of consciousness. I always feel better
and often feel quite blissed. I drove 350 miles yesterday, listening to the
stillness and I was completely blissed. I noticed that I was very aware of
my driving, listening to music and listening to the stillness. Wow! That
was cool.

Finding My Way Back

"Nepal". Oil on canvas, 40"x30", In Collection

Sorry for the lapse in postings. I have been getting my
art finalized for a show and delivered, and have been
picking up other art. I have been enjoying my time on
the road in this process. I have been listening to Abraham-
Hicks and driving. I bought the CD set of The Vortex
and have, for the most part, really enjoyed it.

I have been feeling out of the stream, not lined up with
my Self lately and have been finding my way back. It has
been an interesting mix of Tolle and Hicks that is helping
me find my way back. I am listening to the stillness as I
stay in the present (which has been so easy as I drive
through the Spring lushness of the countryside of Eastern
Oregon and Washington. As my negative responses to the
things that are testing me arise I have been going to Abraham.

In these CDs they talk about things that are unpleasant to
us in our lives as contrasting events in which we find
what we don't want so we can define what we do want and
focus on what we do want. The problem we have is we focus
on the problem and try to figure out what we should do about
it. This creates more problems because we are feeling the
problem and thus vibrating the problem. We are asked by
Abraham to vibrate what we do want.

So here I am listening to the stillness, staying present, and
intending to vibrate at a higher level that is in alignment with
my highest possibilities. Stay tuned.

The Sun of Happiness

"You soul, being a reflection of the ever joyous Spirit, is,
in essence, happiness itself. If you keep the eyes of your
concentration closed, you cannot see the sun of happiness
burning within your bosom; but no matter how tightly
you close the eyes of of your attention, the fact
nevertheless remains that the happiness rays are ever
trying to pierce the closed doors of your mind. Open the
windows of calmness and you will find a sudden burst of
the bright sun of joy within your very Self."
Paramahansa Yogananda

"Nothing is more important than that you feel good"
Abraham

Most often I think I have to figure out what I need to
do to be happy, what I need to change, what I need to say,
where I need to go, who I need to be with.........on and on.
I believe happiness comes from happiness. Like energy
attracts like energy. I forget that it is in me, shining brightly,
and I just need to allow it to come forth. The rest takes care
of itself. Today I will commit to 'opening the windows of
calmness' and let the sun of joy come in. The sun is shining out
and they were behind clouds last week. This is something
I try to remember when looking at the clouds in my experience.

All is Well

"Is stillness just the absence of noise and content? No,
it is intelligence itself-the underlying consciousness out
of which every form is born. And how could that be
separate from who you are? The form that you are
came out of that and is being sustained by it. It is the
essence of all galaxies and blades of grass; of all flowers,
trees, birds, and all other forms."
Eckhart Tolle, 'Stillness Speaks'

I, of course, post what I need to hear on any given day.
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night in great
anxiety. It was hearing Eckart in my head speaking
about stillness and the Now that allowed me to go back
to sleep. I remembered this video of Abraham's rampage
of appreciation this morning and listened to it and it has
put me more fully back on track. I realize the quote and
the video are strange bed fellows, but they work for me
and I hope they work for you.

There is Great Love for you here.

RAMPAGE OF INVINCIBILITY -Abraham- Hicks

I encourage you to take the time to watch this
video. Make sure you pause my music before
starting it. A great way to change your energy
more positively. Abraham-Hicks

No is Yes

"Anything you do to overcome or prevent,
causes a spotlight on the very thing you are
wanting to overcome and prevent. You
cannot take enough action to compensate
for the Energy that you're flowing." Abraham

We are having a controversy where I live, one
I feel strongly about. I live in a beautiful, fairly
unspoiled area of Eastern Oregon. One of the
few last places left of the rugged American West.
There are plans to put wind turbines on a ridge
near my home, a ridge called Antelope Ridge, and
yes, we do have Antelopes. The windmills are to
be placed right in the flyway of a marsh that is
an incredible bird habitat. I am not even going to
tell you what happens to a bird that gets sucked
into one of these. The electricity will not be for
our community, or even Oregon, it will be for
Idaho. Can you tell which way my slant is? I do
not want to see this happen. I moved here for
the beautiful visuals of nature.

There is a problem here though. The Universe
does not differentiate between yes and no.
By saying and most importantly feeling
I don't want this, the Universe hears I want it.
This is the work. It is sort of the cup half empty
or half full thing. If you focus on full you get full,
empty you get empty. So I have to change my
focus and change it big time. How do I do this?
I focus on all the undisturbed beauty around me
and focus there, appreciating it so much that I
fill myself with it. Appreciation is heard as a
yes also, especially when it is backed by feelings.

Everything is made of energy and how we
create is energy. Simple: energy creates energy.
Feelings are what create our energy field, how we
vibrate. That vibration pulls in like energy and
creates like manifestations. So when we
experience days where one thing after another
happens, we need to look at our energy. If they
are good occurrences we have good energy, if
bad we need an attitude adjustment.

So you see, these wind turbines are truly
addressing an energy issue. :^}

May you have a day that is more than half full.
