You'll Know It When You See It

Choice is a choice

2009-10-22T07:15:00.000-07:00

I want to teach others about choice and what a gift and what a miraculous gift it is. I want others to know that we are very very special beings and that because we share life with other species doesn't make us a common animal. We are, in fact an uncommon animal.

And within the animal kingdom is all manner of folk and we amongst them. We are alone but connected. We share life with them and rocks and bugs and the air we breath. We truly all are brothers as the native americans understood. That concept has not died but it's embers can be fanned. You can fan the embers or you can tend the fire or you can carry the coals until such time as some one is able to create with them.

We choose "for" not "between". We choose for what we want to see in the world and it appears. Choose wisely dear friends.

Choosing For

2009-10-22T06:49:00.000-07:00

We are creators. From a Christian viewpoint, we are made in the image of our father. Christ said, "All this you can do and more."

We know how to create health, love, time/space forms, something out of nothing.

We can save our planet. All we have to do is reach out and choose. It is choice that creates. To choose for something is a powerful tool. To choose wisely and responsibly if often learned through trial and error.

Choice changes everything. Its what it is made to do. It is its function. Use it wisely. Choice is a gift from god. Choice. The prime creator. The one thing that will always be ours. Choice.

To fall back and let the future happen is not conscous living. Nor is it conscous intention.

We make our future happen through choice and if we fall back from that it will be a dream.

Ruthlessly open and respectful

More about choice

2009-10-22T06:41:00.000-07:00

As soon as you slow down and be the you that you are the sooner the future will unfold naturally.
Otherwise the future is created out of your current self.

In other words what you think is what you get. And what you have is always what you think. So if you want to know what a person thinks you see what they have. Prosperity, love, health, ease, grace and goodness would be attractive qualities to envision for ones self or for another. You get to choose. We all make it up. Our choice.

Being ones self is essential

Live in the now

We choose to play and we choose to not play

Every choice we make effects the future of everyone else.
We are all connected. So when we choose one thing or any other. Tuna or beef? Beer or wine? Yes or no. Happy sad worthy unwhothy. Its all the same. We choose and it happens. We are all responsible one to the other. We can always choose both, since duality creates stagnation.

Taking a leap of faith hastens the creation
Believing in a lie is the same thing as believing in truth

Truth is what we choose to make it
When we see the future as already occurring it will. Be careful.

What you think is not just saying you want something. Thinking does create. Everytime we think a thing we create that thing. It's what it is designed to do. We are, after all, the creating animal made in our fathers image.

We first have to know what we don't know. Then awareness is pursued to that end. When we know we don't know we can choose. We can choose to know and we can choose to not know.

The responsibilty of choice
Or I feel so much better now that I've given up hope (thank you Ashley Brillient)

More about Money

2009-09-18T07:24:00.000-07:00

I’ve always worried a lot about money.

It seemed to me that if I wanted to not be worried about money --I would simply have to get more money. But now I know it doesn’t require having more money not to worry about money. It requires courage to trust.

Not to worry about money takes courage. Trusting in abundance takes courage too. This is not to say one must not put prudent attention to money. As Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield put it “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”

But prudence is not worry. Prudence is right action. Why worry about money? Why not take right action and surround myself with gratitude. When I treat all money as a blessing, I know it to be so.

Not worrying about money is simply minimizing money’s importance. A blessing, however, is important in a very big way. A blessing fills your life with happiness.

I trust that as I’m prudent with money and treat it with respect, that money will be available to me in the proportion I need and want.

More on Commitment

2009-09-12T19:42:00.000-07:00

It matters not how commitment is learned,
it matters only that commitment is created.

The ability to commit is essential to human well-being.

Trust

2009-09-12T19:40:00.000-07:00

That all is well

Intention and commitment

2009-09-12T19:36:00.000-07:00

Intention directs energy.
When intention is purposeful it creates commitment.
It matters not what the purpose is, directing with intention will always create commitment to that purpose.
I have always had a problem with commitment. It’s almost as though there was none, that my life was void of the nature of commitment.
So I built commitment with broken dreams and broken promises and wistful thinking and many other things
As my commitment grew, one by one those things fell away until they no longer existed, but the commitment remained.

Orphan Blog

2009-09-10T11:06:00.001-07:00

This has been my orphan blog for some time now. It seems everyone is on the "manifesting abundance" bandwagon and I don't feel the need to get the word out so much. However, I wanted to tell my "followers" or anyone else who may be listening/reading how much I am grateful for the knowledge of this process.

Today, I am more than halfway to my goal of savings that will allow me to get some laminate floors for my house. Last year, I thought it would take another 5 years to save for what I wanted and this year it has happened!!! Focus, attention and emotion are the best ingredients for manifesting what you want. Thank you source. Thank you me for allowing source to work through me.

I have been blessed to get beyond my doubts and fears this year and commit to continuing the work of clarity of purpose. Stay tuned!!!

New Ways To See This

2009-07-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

This blog is much less defined that my others. I am rethinking it's purpose. Is this to be another "manifesting" book? Will it be a journal of my own journey of manifesting for myself (and the world)? I haven't decided, but am committed to exploring these questions. Stay tuned.

Pleasures

2009-03-04T04:59:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure if this entry belongs in this blog or my other of life thoughts and meditations, but I'm starting with it here.

One of the pleasures I get in life is that of pleasure for pleasure's sake.

Each move I make

Each Visual I see

Each Taste I savor

and every choice I determine brings it's own pleasure.
They then all translate and are combined as the art of life.

I experience pleasure in the NOW and the NOW is where manifesting occurs. A sense of gratitude is intertwined with experiencing pleasure. Think of the ahhhhh moment of slipping into a hot tub. Each time I do, I say thank you, thank you, thank you while the warmth spreads through my body.

Since pleasure(being in the moment) and the gratitude of that pleasure is closely linked to manifesting what you want, I'll leave this post here. You'll know it when you see it!!

Everywhere

2008-12-29T12:51:00.000-08:00

This is my least visited blog. It's also my least defined blog. I know I don't want to make it into another "how to" or "Principles of" kind of thing, so I guess I'll just ramble along until it takes more shape.

I had lunch with my sister today and we talked about Turning Points and Generational phenomenon. We are almost four years apart in age (I'm the younger) and so have similar memories of "history" especially as it relates to shifts and changes in society, culture, world views, etc. It's nice to have someone with that continuity.

Anyway we both remembered when we received the "New Age" message about how our Selves contribute to the "good" of the world. That each moment we can choose to add good and that that choice can make a difference in how our world becomes worse or better.

It was of course, more complicated than that, but it was interesting to remember when the idea was way out there and how now there is a whole generation of young people who know and understand it as a natural way of being.

It is a frightening time for many people, myself included. I do, however maintain a positive outlook that we can stave off the worse of our tribulation by keeping our noses clean and contributing in positive ways in all we do. I have hope and faith in the human spirit. I will maintain it as long as possible and am glad to have comrades to support and join in the effort.

Many blessings to all.

Questioning and Being Real

2008-09-27T00:03:00.001-07:00

When one is manifesting (or whatever you want to call it) there are certain "givens" that exist. Most books and speakers have outlined them well. But, you know me! I have to try out everything. Of course, I know I really don't HAVE to, but I really like it.

One of the experiments I've observed for some time now is the experiment with experiences. Experiences are the drug of the conscious being. It's been well documented in the Vedas and various other "holy text". Yet, I play with fire. I still have that little daredevil in me that jumped off the 30 foot platform into the pool. I like experiences.

So I question if feeding that little daredevil with "experiences" is a good choice. It is this act of questioning that begins the manifesting process. In the above case, it is the manifestation of a better life.

Questioning is one of the very basic qualities needed to manifest. . This is how our brains were designed. To question seems to come naturally to human beings.

Moreover, it seems to me that it is only through questioning that one can gain clarity. And clarity around anything is the other basic element of manifesting. When we are clear we manifest better.

It seems to me to be a great gift. This ability and desire to question feels very sacred to me. I have mentioned before, gifts can be underused or overused and luckily neither way is productive when it comes to manifesting. Manifesting requires one to be "real" with one's gifts. This realness is what creates reality.

I have always loved yoga because it has helped me maintain an energy balance when I most needed it. The strength and beauty of the asanas have always spoken to my personal needs. I do believe each of us needs to find their own energy in the method that is best for them. Being real is as easy as blinking your eye and as difficult as passing a kidney stone! If you are on this path, I'd love to hear from you.

Many blessings

Seeing is believing

2008-09-17T10:36:00.001-07:00

I wrote a post in my other blog http://lifethoughtsmemoriesandcontemplations.blogspot.com/ with this title. I think it also belongs here.

Why, I ask myself does it fit in both my blogs? How then are they related? Should I indeed combine them. Do I even need to define one and the other as different? If so, how?

Many questions. I'd love some comments. Do you have a place you put your meanderings, thoughts, comtemplations? Do they then begin a "thread" of creating your future reality? Is that the answer?

Is this blog, then for posts about technique and implementation, the other for thinking and dreaming up ideas to implement. Yin/Yang??

Comments?

So Where Is It?

2008-09-12T00:05:00.000-07:00

I've been "upping the ante" for about a month now. At least that's what I keep telling myself that's what I'm doing. So why hasn't a million dollars shown up in my mailbox? Where is the man of my dreams? And, most importantly, "Why do I not feel happy?"

Well, today, I received another sweet gift. A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a free cd introducting a "prosperity" expert. I had already heard about this particular expert. I even agreed with the principles and tools. But I wasn't interested in delving into it any further than I had. I had the book, it agreed with everything I'd learned many years before and so I never really listened to the cd until today.

I was doing the dishes, cleaning up the kitchen and wanting some music, so put on a favorite cd. When that one ended, I looked through my box of cd's and pulled out this particular cd. I don't even know why I had it my box with the music. But there it was. So I played it. Great stuff. Loved listening to it. It actually was just what I needed to hear to integrate quite a bit of what I'd been "upping the ante".

So, it was a sweet gift and I appreciate it. A million bucks? A handsome dude? Happiness? None of them come close and happiness is always there anyway.

It made me think. I am showered with gifts everyday. A breath of fresh air before it rains. A bird singing. Friends dropping by. Good food to eat. Fun and laughter. The list goes on and on. A million dollars? Would be ok, but can't buy what I already have. A handsome dude? Sure, I know there will be one in the eye of my beholder. Whoever I fall in love with, and when, he will always handsome to me. There truly is beauty from within.

I am secure. I fool myself out of it from time to time.

From My Current Work

2008-08-23T07:29:00.000-07:00

Want more? Here are some things I recently wrote as a result of contact with two good coaches in the area of manifesting. I highly recommend either. Elyse Killoran www.prosperityportal.com or Shanda Sumpter www.financialmentorworkshop.com

Both offer sound guidance and exciting possibilities.
So here are some thoughts that have bubbled out of my contact with each and both and of course, myself.

We are all magicians. Some of us pull aside the cloak too soon and can only fake their magic; those of us who keep the cloak and know the secret have the most fun.
It’s like walking a wire to balance between the worlds. And, very, very briefly we begin to know that neither world is real, but only the wire.
Still, there is joy in the walk. It is exhilarating. It is life.

Whatever it is you think you want to be/do or have -- cause another to be/do or have that!!!! See yourself as the "source" - rather than as the recipient of whatever it is you would choose to experience in life. When you imagine yourself to be the Source of that which you choose to receive - you become very "re-sourceful" And then you DO become a magician, you might even become a source-erer!!!!

Water by the Light

2008-08-23T07:23:00.000-07:00

So, I just reviewed the writing in this blog. Every other one seems to say, "I'm neglecting these posts" or "I haven't written in a while".

As I am currently concentrating more intention in the area of financial manifestation (btw, it's going well), I can see my not posting here is like an unplugged leak in the process. So, the first thing I'm posting is this interesting poem that was just sitting in my "to be put in blogs" folder. Funny how it pertains to the above.

More to come.

Sacred Clearing

2008-04-18T14:26:00.000-07:00

What is clearing exactly? An inexact process that removes and clears emotion from muddying up my life? Not necessarily. Clearing occurs as growth occurs and growth occurs as clearing occurs. It is all connected. I do know that when I am clear, I can create my life more easily, less painfully, and certainly with more joy and pleasure.

When I meditate, I go "inside" to a clear flat lake. A place of utter beauty, a place where pleasure transcends pain. There have been times when I have stayed in this space for just a few seconds and times I have stayed there for longer. Each time I know I am "home" I am who I am and always have been. I am more than "connected" I am all that is. I don't always like thinking this way, I get skeptical. I question and fear the truth. Of course, this goes against all I have believed about love, about power of spirit, about oneness. I judge myself. But, those are intellectual thoughts and beliefs.

The clear space within is not a thought, not a belief, it is an experience. It is a state of being. So sweet. So real. The fear, the questioning impinges on that experience until it no longer is there.

The clear space is where I best create my life the way I want it to be. Notice I did not say where I create my life, but where I best create my life. Creation is a continuous process, a continuous state of being for all. Creation occurs all the time. Whenever I become aware of what I want, I am creating more consciously, that's all. Conscious creation.

I do not profess to be fully conscious as conscousness too is a state of being, a continuous process. This term "I am" does not suffice the feelings I want to convey. The pronoun I is confusing as are most words around the process of consciousness. I can mean me, my ego, my personality, my belief driven self, my conditioned being, my unconscious actions. Or I can mean my "higher" self, the all, the we, the it of isness. I can be all and one at the same time, because all is all including one.

So in this blog, I ramble and talk and clear myself in rediness to meditate more, to connect deeper to the true self, the one. I know. I feel. I experience beyond this present reality. Beyond my belief's and my thoughts. I am ready.

ComingAlong

2008-03-19T19:45:00.001-07:00

I just read my last entry for this blog. It's pretty good. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do so.

More and more, I'm convinced the world is evolving toward a new consciousness and I am delighted to be a part of all that is with that. So many others have been writing about "manifesting", about "creating what you want". This blog is not the last word about that. It is simply A word. A word I've enjoyed and seen. I love to be completely and excitingly involved in this opening up of consciousness. I wish I had 50 more years. I don't think I do, but many of you will. Enjoy your life, enjoy the process, become all you can be. We are limitless. We are evolving always.

Be well, be happy. Love

Blurring

2008-02-21T09:15:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone

I have really abandoned my blogs recently. I'm sure it is a period of assimilation and/or intergration. I'm also finding my three blogs -- Know it When You See It, Thoughts, Contemplations ... etc. and Sitting with the Dogs are beginning to blur.

Perhaps, it is just me combining some of my compartmentalization of the past. I like to think so. I have recently begun a new nutritional regime and have had the wonderful result of being totally pain free for the first time in 7-8 years!!! So integration, health and good nutrition are definitely a part of my present (to myself) state of being.

I do have a nice short story that relates to this particular blog. It is a common one, and I'm sure many of you have experienced similar events many times. Still it bears reporting as it is once again such a confirmation of how the universe (read God, Higher Power, All That Is, etc.) is always there supporting us.

I do housesitting as you know. Sit with Dogs. It is a financial supplement to my Social Security and part-time counseling work. Recently, I scheduled a five day housesit in Phoenix and had planned on the income to help me over a hump with my finances.

As it turned out, one of the dogs I was going to watch came down with severe back problems and the family trip was canceled! This left me without those five days of income. Fast forward three days. A job offer came in for three days (at a higher rate) which would supplement exactly the amount I would have made at the previous job!! Hmmmm -- accident???

Accident or coincidence or whatever, it is always humbling to know that my attitude and intention serves to create the reality I want. Of course, the trick is always to:

Know What You Want - this is often an ongoing refinement process
Intend on Getting What You Want Without Expectations of the Outcome - in other words not to define the process, nor the result, but know you will receive what it is you want. Very scarey sometimes!!
Stay Open and Grateful for a Blessed Life - As has been said "With All It's Sham, Drudgery, and Broken Dreams, it is Still a Beautiful World".

Having said that, I feel I have served the purpose of this particular post. Check out my other blogs for more blurred concepts, thoughts and Sandyisms.

Many blessings as you/we progress.

What is Life All About?

2007-09-24T19:23:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted to this blog for a long time. It's not been getting my full attention. What is entered here is another snippet that belongs to this "process" of creation. I hope you enjoy it.

Why am I here?
Whencan I leave?
Where will I go?

mortality asks these questions. Immortality is the answer to all of them.

Immortality in all ways Is
Mortality can't conceive immortality/immortality conceives mortality.

What ever I ask for I get and what I get is what I ask for.

It is always the same.
There is always a choice

One can go back and do it again if one chooses to because again is a gain.

Making it all over again is not a loss. There is no loss in eternity.

Leaving Home, Returning

2007-05-28T06:08:00.001-07:00

I don't always want to go out housesitting. Sometimes, when I have been home for awhile, it is difficult to leave again. I pack up my food, arrange for my mail to stop (if it's a long time assignment), pack my clothes and stage everything for my morning get-a-away to where ever I'm going.

But my heart is heavy as I sit in my chair that last night before I leave. I say good-bye to my house by clearing off the counters, making sure the computer is safely closed, night lights turned on, curtains drawn. It's like a night time ritual for my house. I put it to sleep until my return.

When I return, I say hello again to the sleeping house, bring in all my gear, sit and absorb the atmosphere. I'm always grateful for my own bed to sleep in, and I don't always unpack the first night. The next day, I begin to bring my house back to life. By day two, or three I'm back in the swing and the yard gets watered, the car gets cleaned out, I begin a fun time at home until the next assignment.

Thoughts, Feelings and The Now

2007-05-18T07:47:00.000-07:00

It seems to me that thoughts exisit in space, not in time. In time thoughts fade away since time is nonexistent and thoughts cannot exist there. Thoughts live in space. They become reality.

Feelings live in time where there is no time. Feelings live in the now. Holding on to a feeling is like holding on to a mist. They exist in the now, they are sensed at the edges of the past and future, but cannot be held there. Fleetingly, they evade our grasp.

Until we allow the brush of time's feather we will never enter the now. In the now, the dance of life displays itself. Love fills the now as only one infinity can fill another. Love is always present. Love will find you there.

Gratitude, Friends and Abundance

2007-05-09T08:46:00.000-07:00

I received an email from a friend today. It was overflowing with gratitude for my (and others') friendship, a long forward that brought the point of how important friends are and a sincere and very gushy expression of her own feelings toward having so many good friends. One of the things she said was "I think I am blessed beyond belief. It is a great mystery to me why and how that happened, but I'm lovin' it ! ! !"

Of course as many of us know, it is no mystery why and how that happened. So, I wrote her back the following:

"I do not think it is an accident that you have so many gratifying friendships. Serotonin levels not with standing, I'd say you give and are grateful and that clears you out to constantly receive more and more. It's called abundance and you got it kiddo!!!

The grateful heart is a generator of happiness. Expressing gratitude starts the pump and everything after that is automatic. Thanks for your wonderful email and for being in MY life too"

I really liked the image of gratidtude as a generator that's starts by expression. I've often thought of the Expresso machines when I think of emotions. We squeeze them out under pressure and they are very concentrated. Perhaps that's why many people are cautious about expressing their feelings.

I want to express in the moment as much as possible. Now all my images are coming back. Expressing breast milk. Express trains, mail, certainly communications. There is a normal flow and their is the expression of that flow in a direction or for a purpose. Hmmmm. Emotions.

How does it fit into Manifest Marketing?? I think you know. If you read this, write me back and let me know what your thoughts on the topic are. Every book written, every teacher taught says we must add feelings to desire and image. How are we to do that unless we are familiar and not fearful of our feelings.

EXPRESS YOU ALL!!!

2007-05-01T06:28:00.001-07:00

Don't Wanting and Wanting are the Same

2007-04-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

WHY DON'T WANTING IS NOT WANTING

This one confuses people all the time. It still confuses me. But, I've got a few shortcuts to understanding it. One explanation that's given is that when you say I don't want __________, the universe/your subconscious/higher power only hears I want __________.

Don't just doesn't exist in the land of all oneness that is consciousness.

I have trouble holding onto that explanation. It seems to require a lot of faith. Yet experience has shown me that yes, 'I don't want' almost always shows up (sooner or later) as a manifested want. So I try to think of it this way. Nothing exists in the all. The void is all there is in the all. Don't is like an empty hole. I like to think of it as a donut hole. When I say don't, I think do not hole. The do not hole does not exist.

That's me. Your approach may work differently. Here are some other ways to look at the same thing.

What Resists Persists. I hung onto that one for some time, but it was more about fighting against something rather than the more seemingly benign 'I don't want'. I liked it when it came to angry protest, holding a line, not allowing certain ideas to get into my head -- things like that.

Then someone told me to think of it this way. If you give attention to something it grows. Like a plant. You give it good soil, water, sunlight, the proper care and attention it needs. It grows! So it is with any thought. When you put your attention on 'I don't want __(pimples, pain, to grow old . . . )___, it too grows until it comes into being.

That was a little simpler for me to understand. You may have other ways of looking at it. A good practice for turning 'not wanting' into 'wanting' is to change negatives into positives. Not a bad practice in any case. Try these:

I don't want to die lonely-becomes--I want to live with many friends or I want to die surrounded with friends

I don't want another jerk for a boyfriend ----- I want a caring, loving man in my life

I don't want to be poor ------- I want abundance and ease to fill my life

You get the idea, I'm sure. For me, don't wants seem to take a bit longer than wants to manifest. So it's like forgetting to take your vitamins. The negative effects take awhile to show up and by then you forgot that you stopped taking them.

Sometimes, something shows up in my life and I think 'why did that happen? I didn't want that to happen!' Then I remember. I DIDN'T want it to happen is the same as WANTING it to happen. Strange, but true.

So, practice now to stay positive!! The world needs it anyway. People will thank you by being more and more attracted to you too.

I want my words to serve the highest good for all.

About Marketing

2007-04-27T17:38:00.000-07:00

You'll Know It When You See It - Manifest Marketing

I believe that all Marketing is applied strategy

There is marketing that is necessary and there is marketing that is applied for greed and there is marketing that undermines one's self and one's product and there is marketing that is off-target. In short, marketing is whatever you make it to be.

When you uncover a need for yourself or for others, you can then stragegize it into being with manifest marketing.

In order to have marketing that is meaningful and will manifest what you want, one has to first find the truth.

Ask yourself the question: What do I know is true about this product, situation, person?

For example:

I want to be a ____________________
I want to sell _____________________
I want __________________________

Then ask, what else is true?

I am not sure how to go about doing that
I've never sold this before
I don't think I can get it

Continue to ask what else is true?

What is acceptable to me is the only marketing I will allow
I am not willing to comprimise myself in doing this
I can live with some ___________
I can't live with _______________

After all the questions have been answered with true statements, it's a matter of making choices against the back drop of whatever principles you select.

Marketing itself is not good or bad marketing. It can be guided by principle and created by choice.

In either case, your outcome will depend on what ever is true for you and YOU get to decide what's true!!! It's a Win Win

So go over what you know to be true again. It may look like this:

I love the world and all that is in it
My work is my worship
I want to make money using my talents
I don't know how to do that

So, first you have to know that all true and then you have to know what you do want. Notice I don't say don't want. More on that later.

Test each want and see if it holds up to truth by asking:

Would I trade this for something else?
What would my life be like without this?
Is it important enough to me to stake my life on it?

How are you doing so far?? Make up any more questions you think would test your wants.

Once you you know your wants to be truth (not your don't wants at this point, remember), then you'll know it when you see it and if it doesn't measure up to your principles, you'll know that when you see it.

Getting it to show up is the easy part.

You just ask for it (want it) and know you will recieve it and you are grateful for that process.

Then once more, You'll Know It When you See IT.

Try out a few statements like

I want to meet a really cool guy who stays the course no matter what, who wants to travel his heart and not settle externally, but is settled internally

I want to attract people who will pay for my work out of their need to be given what I have to offer.

Keep going with more.
