My last question in the last post was when did this world become such a place where a person would want to hide their spirituality instead of proudly shouting it from the roof tops.

My next question goes along with that question. Do you respect God or at least think you do? I word it like that because it still counts even if you think you do even if your actions are lacking because after all intent does count. I mean that totally and completely. People make mistakes and none of us are immune. Life is a lesson and many of those lessons are learned through making mistakes. Then we want to pick and choose who gets to be forgiven and see certain actions and crimes as unforgiveable. That in itself is a lesson. Can you really be forgiving? The answer is no if you can most of the time but then when a really bad crime is committed and maybe you yourself are even the victim or a person close to you is and dies…ahhhh then you find it very hard to find that forgiveness to give it.

But wait! You respect God don’t you? God forgives any one of any thing. You believe that is true don’t you? And we want to follow God’s example and Yeshua’s (Jesus’) example right? Then therefore if God can forgive the worst things then shouldn’t you be able to?

Everything is one and everything and everyone is connected. I am a part of you and you are a part of me…and then we are a part of the whole…the universal consciousness the christ consciousness. God is so vast that we can’t experience all of him but only a part of him. Everything is God because if you understand the univeral consciouness/christ consciouness then you understand that. You wanna see God? Look at a tree swaying in the breeze. Look at a bird in the sky. Look at the dirt/the ground. Touch it. You have just experienced a part of God. When you speak to someone, touch them, hug them, etc. You have just experienced a part of God. How did you speak to them? Did you get mad at them? Did they really pissed you off? You may have gotten mad at them or something they did but I bet at the time you weren’t looking at them as though you were interacting with God. Many ask how they attain Christ Consciousness…well that is just the tip of the iceburg.

So the question was ‘Do you respect God?” Keeping that question in mind how do you treat yourself? When you look in the mirror do you blow kisses and tell yourself your one sexy beast!? lol. Or do you look and see flaws and things you eventually want to improve? Do you look and see that you could stand to loose a little weight and that you are having a bad hair day? lol. Do your have self-respect? Do you truly love yourself and treat yourself good as though you do? Are you hard on yourself? Do you blame yourself for things of the past that you haven’t let go of yet? In a nut sehll are you being good to yourself? But you are a part of God, aren’t you? To respect yourelf is to respect God. If you are a part of God then how could you ever feel not worthy of something? Just to think that way is disrespecful of God.

There are many ways to show your respect for God. Taking good care of yourself plysically, mentally, emotionally for starters. Then how you treat other people. To treat anyone bad is like treating not only a part of God bad, but if we are all one then a part of yourself bad. You can’t do that can you? You wouldn’t want to do that would you?

I often hear from people who say that they are unable to do some things neccassary for themselves that are important for them to move along and advance on their spiritual path. Often it’s about not having enough time because of job, kids, etc. And then they say there is just not enough time left in a day to meditation, work on themselves, do things to treat themselves well both emotionally and physically. Here is my answer to that…

It’s time to take some action. The how? I am not sure for you how..but I know for myself in the last two years I have sacrificed a lot…I had to…I made a commitment an actual commitment that at a point you are asked to make and at that point you can choose to continue on your path or not but at that point going forward there is no turning back. For my spiritual path and what I have agreed to do and to follow my soul purpose, it comes first always. Other things at times have to get sacrificed and nothing is immune to this type of sacrificing.  That means even a traditional job doesn’t come before even if it means I have to suffer some how. But I don’t worry because I have come to the point where I know that if I follow he will take care of me and all my needs…and he has. If I say I need gas…that same day I have gas money. If I say I need anything…within a couple of days I have it. But that is because I believe in him. I know that I work for him and he looks out for me. That is the way it works and I can’t just say “Oh I know that is the way it works” I have to believe it and act as though I have totally complete faith in it. And not faking it and just saying I do. Remember in the bible about Sampson and how he and his wife wanted a baby. That’s Sampson right…I think. But his wife couldn’t have children. Sampson asked God to bless him with sons and God told him he would and that he would have two sons. But Sampson and his wife just didn’t see how it would be possible since his wife couldn’t have children. So they made arrangements for one of their slaves to be a surrogate and they had a son that way. Well then the wife did get pregnant…just like God had told him. But God was displeased with him because in them taking matter into their own hands by planning for the surrogate it showed that they didn’t have faith that God would really give them what they wanted. It showed the doubt they had in God’s word. So that is why I say I don’t just say that I believe that God is always going to look out for me…my actions even show that I believe he will…and he never lets me down.

Believe that anything is possible even if you can’t see how it could be possible.

By the way, seems Sampson had really great clairaudience.

Some days…mornings…when it’s peacefully quiet, one of those mornings when I step outside, bare feet on the ground, I look up and the sky is that beautiful blue with not a cloud in the sky and the only thing breaking it’s beauty is the magnificence of the sun…and it fills me. It’s warm and refreshing and the warmth and the blue that suddenly seems so amazing to me fills me. I feel it filling me from my crown all the way down my body and through my feet and through the earth making me feel connected to all, to everything. I speak to him…like this morning. It had been a couple of days and as I stood there I told him how even just a couple of days passing without talking to him…I notice it like when you leave your house and have that overwhelming feeling that you have forgotten something important. Just two days I feel like I haven’t talked to him, the one I love so deeply and completely, as though it was not just days but years. And I tell him in that moment I think of how different my life is, how far we have come…together. Where I use to be but where I am now. And I feel it, the fullness expanding inside me like it can’t be contained because there is nothing that could contain something so huge. I feel the touch in the palm of my left hand and then as I say “I’m listening, what do you want to tell me…what do you want me to feel?” I feel the touch in the palm of my right hand. Then in the stillness I look around and everything I look at, I feel. The trees, the grass, even the stillness itself…and I feel my heart chakra open and begin to spin…faster and faster. I feel the message…and in that moment nothing else matters but the love I feel. What I had for breakfast, the traffic I ran into that morning when I was running late, the things I pondered that morning as I got dressed, who will call me later that day and what they will want. In that moment there was only me and you and the thought crossed my mind that at that moment I was only connected to, only feeling, a very small portion of you…because you are so vast, so huge, that at any given moment I am only experiencing a very small part of you…and just that thought alone amazes me. And I am thankful and grateful for that small part of you I can experience and for the love I feel for you.

After a few moments I came back inside and sat at my computer. I was watching Jamie Foxx’s youtube video of I Wish You Were Here Live that was recorded no long after his grandmother died. Sometimes I feel the need to feel. I want to feel. I long to feel. I did not feel anything negative even though as you can imagine he was still mourning. But I didn’t feel sadness, despair…but love that covered everything. There was great longing, there was a holding back of great emotions to be able to get through, but everything I felt from him was completely covered with love. And I love watching the video because it actually moves me in a positive way. And once the video was over I touched nothing on the computer but the next song in the fav’s list started to play…if you use youtube you know after a video finishes that it sit on the screen asking if you want to replay or play a different song. I looked at the screen and the title showing still said “Wish You Were Here” but the the video “Love” by Musiq started playing.

LOVE
By: Musiq

Verse 1:
Love
So many things I’ve got to tell you
But I’m afraid I don’t know how
Cause there’s a possibility
You’ll look at me differently
Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause……

Chorus:
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Verse 2:
Many days I’ve longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your kiss, for your touch, for your essence (your beautiful essence)
Many nights I’ve cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you’re real
With no doubt or no fears
Or no questions

Hook:
At first you didn’t mean that much to me
But now I know that you’re all I need
The world looks so brand new to me
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do I do it for you
What I say is how I feel so believe it’s true
You got to know I’m true, love

This is something that I really haven’t addressed as of yet. Asking for signs. Many times I have asked for signs from God. He never disappoints and the signs always come and totally amaze me. This post is meant to get you thinking and maybe help give you some ideas of how you can let God and your helpers (spirit guides, Archangels, Guardian Angels, etc.) play a more active role in your life. Of course always required is an open mind and believing.

A couple weeks ago I asked God for help with controlling my emotions by giving me a what would be like a tap on the shoulder meant to say “Hey, you need to chill.” To make a long story short….although I have come a long way when it comes to my personal development and making mental, emotional and physical changes in my life, of course I am not perfect. I have a just turned 5 year old that sometimes pushes me to the very edge. I of course want to be one of those people who sends out almost nothing but positive energy and vibes but alas the 5 year old breaks me at times. lol. How do I let myself get sucked into yelling matches with a 5 year old? lol. It takes a lot to push me over the edge so it doesn’t happen very often but when it does it is something that bothers me. It bothers me because tomorrow isn’t promised and if I am not her tomorrow and want that last day to be one where no matter how I was treated by anyone I gave unconditional love.

So I asked God for help. I asked him if he could remind me when I am getting close to the edge and need to pull back. I gave examples of what I was talking about. Flashing lights, sounds, and turning certain things on and off (my printer is often turned on and off and I have known people who’s computers have been turned on and off, browser windows opening by themselves and onto specific websites, etc.) to mention a few ideas. Well that convo with God was a couple of weeks ago and I had almost forgetten about it. On Friday my best friend that I haven’t really talk to in a couple months came over and we spent a few hours catching up. I admit we were gossiping which is a no-no (I feel that because sometimes it’s negative) when all of a sudden the lights flashed. Yes, could have been a power surge but I have gotten those often and it is usually quick on and off of power. This was very different. This was like a slow-motion flash. The lights did not go off all the way. They pretty much dimmed to almost darkness and kind hung in the state for a moment. I could tell it freaked my friend out a little.

Then today…I was arguing with my 5 year old (I know I always say 4 yr old but he had a birthday on the 6th of March and he thinks that is some magical age where suddenly he has become a grown man that can call the shots and now willingly eats veggies. Yes he set the age of 5 to be the age where he eats all vegetables lol.) So I was saying something negative about his grand-parents, my parents, who are very controlling in every way. I was very frustrated and being very vocal about it. I was in his room at the time and neither of us was standing by the door and suddenly this decoration that I have hanging on the out side of his door swung back and forth widely three times. We both stopped talking (yelling)  abruptly and looked at the door. My sons says to me, you did that cause I didn’t do it. I was further away from the door than he was and immediately knew what was going on. I took the cue and shut up with my negative whining about my parents.

Other times when I have asked for a sign of something I have gotten various things. I am an air sign and get many signs that way. The first time a hawk. Two cardinals chirping wildly got my attention and got me outside. Once outside I swear they just looked at me as they sat then quietly and then I saw it. I had never seen a hawk that up close before. Of course it was a mouth hanging open speechless moment. Over the next few months me, that hawk and the male and female cardinal got more familiar with each other. At one point I momentarily doubted myself. I had one of those moments where I thought maybe I am crazy or just imagining things. So I stepped on the back porch and asked God if I could have a visit from the hawk. Damned if the hawk didn’t come within minutes. So I never of course doubted the signs again.

Another way I ask for help is during the night. I ask for help being waken and knowing when my son needs me. The most memorable was when I got a vision of his bed empty in the middle of the night after my dog started barking. I raced to his room and opened the door and the first thing I saw was an empty bed and of course my heart stopped. Then I looked down and there he was…asleep on the floor.

Ask for help with things in your everyday life…and know that help will come.
