Find Truth through LOVE!

About a year ago I was told by a fellow blogger to search for what I believe and to stop using other's opinions, quotes, theories etc. I love to read what other people have to say on matters that are important to me. I even admit that their opinions may have helped to develop most of my beliefs.

I have been feeling very restless these past few days. I am very conscious of Moon energies and a New Moon is approaching on ther 28th August. I also 'know' that there are many planetary events taking place in the heavens and even today there are reports of a 'new' planet being discovered made out of diamonds.

I am becoming bombarded by lots of conflicting messages; I am on the one hand reading and channelling angelic, loving energies of having faith and having trust in all happening in Divine perfect order. On the other hand I am reading about the Illuminati- the people in higher places (I suggest you do your own research on this) trying to create a New World Order and creating situations (illusions) in order to keep us from seeing the truth.

What is the truth?

My son came to visit from Cyprus and we had a wonderful 3 weeks together. He is 20 years old and into Christianity. He is not following any particular church but is leaning to the side of everything that is not through Jesus Christ is heresy. Since I have more open minded views he 'lovingly' sees me as a lost soul taken over by the dark side.

We had a couple of 'loving' chats about love, life and peace and I felt I conveyed that where he believes Jesus is God incarnate on Earth to show us how much he loves us, I believe that Christ is a consciousness. I expressed that the Jesus story, whether real in historical fact, is not an issue for me as I believe that it is an allegory about spreading the Light of God, and Jesus is the pure example of this Light.

Of course this became more than a loving chat and we both found ourselves defending our beliefs. I ended the conversation saying that I believe there is One Truth and many ways to this. He replied, 'How do you know? How do you know if you do not have Jesus Christ in your life?'

I replied telling him I have Christ in my heart as we all do, it is the process of opening the heart that helps us to the TRUTH.

I have been ploughing the Internet today and yesterday looking for the TRUTH of what is happening to our planet and the cosmos and to us. I found lots of information, but for some reason I could not read any of it - either it was too scientific, too metaphysical, or too alien- like.

I realised that we need to look for the answers ourselves. The TRUTH is within us, it is in all we are doing, all that we are thinking, all that we are feeling. If I think a certain way this creates a certain truth for me. If I feel a certain way this is an indication of how I have been thinking. If I am doing something that is not in par with who I am, how I feel and how I think, then I am further from the TRUTH.

Keep it simple: Think with love, feel the love and do with love - anything else is less than the TRUTH!

Think Love!

The angels answer my question on how to deal with 'the runaway stream of life' - life happens and sometimes we get lost in the 'tumultuous rivers'. Following is their message;


'Be still child, when tumultuous rivers run over you, BE STILL!

Do not fear, you will not be washed away.

Your true essence will remain intact.

BREATHE and this will be the signal for us to throw you the tow line.

Hold on to it, hold on tight, with your thoughts of love.

Do not allow thoughts of dread and blame take over, for once you let them in you will lose your grip. You will be then taken by the illusion of the river running down the mountain, with its fury and blame.

Once you are in the sea of fire, you cannot do anything but PRAY and weather the storm.

You are safe though, we will be guiding and protecting you no matter what.

But, we cannot make you choose which thoughts you think.

So, THINK LOVE and you will be saved from the scathes and scratches of the runaway stream of life.

Angels with love and jubilation.'


Much love Christina xx

Stop and Breath!

Breath!

Breath connects you back to Source.
Breath is the gift of the angels, it keeps us aligned to our maker.
When our breath is shallow, we are disconnected from ourselves and each other.
When we do not consciously breath the gift of life, we do not connect with our heart.
Being in the heart is what keeps us aligned to love.

Breath deeply!
Release the past with the out breath!
Breath in the love.

Keep centered in your heart, re-connect with the breath!

A White Christmas!

U.K is blanketed with snow. It is Christmas week and seen in a traditional Bing Crosby Winterland it is exciting that we will have a white Christmas. This idea of a white Christmas bothers me though (I digress) If Jesus was born in the hot climes of Israel, where does snow fit in? I am sure it doesn't snow in those parts of the world at Christmas times.

Back to my musings on UK being blanketed with snow, on Christmas week. This year I have left my Christmas shopping to the last minute, I am not particularly stressed about it, but I now have the added problem of snow stopping me whizz round the shops. I have to wait for my partner to take me in his Land Rover, which ploughs effortlessly through any terrain.

I could stand in the cold, waiting for a bus that may or may not come. But, I am not that desperate or willing to get frost bite. So, what I usually do when I have too much time at hand, I start to look at things in more interesting ways. Maybe, this is called inner sight, clear vision, or just something I have developed out of being easily bored.

Watching the News this morning, there was a clip of an angry 'Gentleman' very irate, at Heathrow Airport, not been told when he will be able to fly to Australia. He was incensed that there was not enough information at what was happening.

I tried to be sympathetic, but then (after a second of forced sympathy) I screamed at the T.V, 'It's the weather, you can't blame the information desk, the weather is a force you cannot control.'

After my little rant, my thought juices were running free, and I felt saddened at how humanity is so 'me', 'me', 'me'. It is Christmas, a time of peace and love and there is little seen around us.

But on saying that, I have seen some wonderful acts of kindness in the roads of Birmingham UK. There have been people struggling in their cars and other motorists have been jumping out of their cars to give them a push.

So, the snow coming on Christmas week, is it an inconvenience, or is it a time to get back into our hearts?

I looked back at my blog post for last year's Christmas and I find it fitting to end with the conclusion I wrote last year,

'I, on some 'soul' level have made peace with all the other Christmas' in the past and come to some acceptance, that this is a day where we need to be fully present. Maybe that's what giving presents mean, and also receiving them. It is about being in the moment, the here and now. Savouring the happy moment(s) and for that moment in time being transported to the real meaning of Christmas - Love, peace and gratitude!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone and a Prosperous New Year full of abundance for all

New Moon Message!

Say what you mean,
Show what you know,
Do what you believe,
Love as you grow!

A New Begining!

I'm back!!!!!

I have been on a private journey, practising what I have been preaching more or less and finding bits of myself I left behind, or was too scared to look at.

I have read some more, practised some more, forgiven some more and let go some more. Am I whole?

I was always whole, this is the most important lesson I have learnt; that the true essence of who we are; is and always was and will be whole and perfect.

I have re-membered that to become whole we need to separate in order to come back together.

We live in a world of separateness, or the illusion that we are separate, but in actual fact we are all ONE; as the body is made of many parts, they are not of much use by them selves, even though they are important in their own right, they are made to work together as ONE.

I have reflected more on the Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle, and read some other inspirational books on the law of attraction, and the conclusion I have come to, is that all wisdom is true.

Truth IS, it is always the same. There are many routes to it but Truth does not move, it waits patiently for you to accept this fact.

I can read something and see the truth in parts of it, I can dismiss other parts, but what is important the truth is there to be seen, whether we can see it or not.

When I have seen it, I know it to be real (true) for my heart sings. I feel some resonance, as if my heart is tuned into the same frequency.

There have been times when I have read something that does not resonate with me. Does this mean it is not true, or is it that I cannot see the truth. Truth is there, you have reached insight when you are able to see through the words. For behind it all is truth, waiting patiently to be reached.

I have also been re-learning, about who I really am. I have found the truth, again through words, as this is my medium of enlightenment. To others it may be something else.

I have come to see that I am not really just my body, my name, my culture, my religion, my sex, my marital status etc. I am part of the Divine. I am more Divine than all the rest of these parts.

I have also come to see that when I am in alignment with this bigger part of who I am, my life works. There still are similar situations, problems and issues, but the difference is that I am not been washed up by the waves. I can ride the waves and still be at peace.

How???

- By waking up each day from the starting point of wholeness and not lack.
- By looking at all the possible things that can go right today, than hold on to all that went wrong yesterday, and think more of the same today.
- By honoring my feelings, feeling the power they evoke inside me, trusting that I will not be engulfed by them, and breathing, whilst they gently subside.
- By understanding that at the end of an unhappy moment/event there is an opportunity for a happy outcome.

The above can be explained as follows:

If everything in this life is made up of opposites then the opposite of sadness is happiness. There is a variation of both these feelings/situations as there is variation in the hues of colour.

So on a scale of happiness/sadness it could look as below:

(Sadness)Pain->anger->frustration->surrender->forgivenes->PEACE(happiness)

As you walk on the the path towards happiness, you can experience sadness and along the path there is pain, anger, frustration and all the rest that can make us unhappy. The important thing to remember is that at the other end if you continue there is peace, which is happiness.

Surrender is not giving in to the situation or circumstance, it is an acceptance, a letting go of, and this gives you the opportunity to forgive, which is to fully release the past, leaving just peace.

Along this journey of life, we will be taking steps forward and then seemingly fall backward into pain. We can choose to stay at any point, we can bring in surrender at any point, we can forgive at any point. We don't have to ignore the hurt and frustration, just accept it, this helps for the biggest transformation.

Life offers many opportunities to find peace in all situations. It may seem a pointless venture since there is this situation of duality/opposites going on. But each time you forgive, you have put yourself on a higher level of understanding and consciousness.

You now have more awareness and more power of your actions. From this new awareness, you can reach peace quicker, as you are embodying more peace. You are being more of who you really are. You are aligned to the Divine, and the Divine is LOVE!!!

With an awareness that you are essentially made up of love, the more connected you feel to this part of you, the more peace you will see all around you.

So, here are my lessons, for now. I hope through these words you are able to see the truth. I hope you can see your own light shining through!

'A man should look for what is and not what he thinks should be'

I watched the film 'Avatar' on DVD yesterday - twice!

I didn't catch the movie at the cinema, even though the minute I saw the trailer my heart alerted me that I MUST see this movie.

I 'felt' that it was more than just a 'story' of aliens and war and love, I 'knew' my soul knew that it was a message for US on earth to look after our MOTHER earth and its inhabitants.

I was in tears for most of the film. My family looked on at me, thinking,'oh, here she goes again, crying at any small thing'

For those who have not watched Avatar following is an excerpt of the theme By Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat from the site Spirituality and Practice,

Avatar
Directed by James Cameron
20th Century Fox 12/09 DVD/VHS Feature Film
PG-13 - intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language, smoking
'Following the death of his twin brother, a scientist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former Marine who is confined to a wheelchair, is recruited to take his place in the secret Avatar program on the faraway planet of Pandora. The year is 2154 and the Earth is in serious environmental trouble. The Resources Development Administration (RDA), a corporate consortium, is mining a rare mineral called Unobtainium on Pandora that is needed to solve the Earth's energy crisis.

Because the air in Pandroa is toxic to humans, "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal atmosphere. These creatures are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora, the Na'vi. Their mission is to create a bridge of trust with the Na'vi so that mining operations can be expanded.

The technologically equipped mercenary squad, thinks the natives are nothing more than ignorant savages that should be stamped out like cockroaches. Also skeptical about Grace and the Na'vi is Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), the business-first station manager who oversees the work of the scientists, the security forces, and the miners.'


What did it for me was not only the amazing technology involved in making the film, making it amazing to watch, but the spiritual meaning.

The inter-connectedness of the Na'vi with nature, how they used their body to connect with the heart of the earth and its creatures, resonates with how we need to be more intune with our planet, to respect and 'listen' to her.

Also it reminded me of indigenous tribes of how they thank the spirit of the animal before they kill it for food. The respect to all life made me weep with love.

The contrast of the mercenary squad of destroying the land and the people who stood in the way of what they wanted, the heartless, emptiness, was so apparent. And the head of the operation, who only had $$$$ on his mind.

What touched me the most was a phrase the Na'vi used often, 'I see you' which is not about seeing with the physical eyes but with the heart - actually seeing, feeling the other person, animal, world.

This resonated with me as this is what is going on in our world, if someone really 'sees you' there is a deep connection of heart energy of love of understanding, whereas, if you do not live through the heart and through the mind only there cannot be true 'seeing' of another.

Neytiri, the daughter of the tribe's leaders saved Jake in the forest from the animals, even though it pained her to kill them. She 'saw' him as having a pure heart, without fear, and the spirits depicted as beautiful, floating and whispy alerted Neytiri that he was 'special'.

Neytiri was assigned to teach Jake their ways. She knew he had learnt the way of the Na'vi when one day as he was finishing off a hunt and he said the 'I see you' to the animal, and Neytiri, saw, that he really could 'see'.

What was also apparent, was how the scientists were portrayed as being sympathetic to the natural world, mirroring how in our world the gap between science and religion is lessening, especially with the discoveries in quantum physics and energy medicine.

Also, what came across, was that it is ok to be a warrior, to have a fearless heart, as long as you respect the whole of life. Neytiri's father was the warrior leader and her mother was the spiritual leader who was like a shaman. The two worked together, taking signs and revering their deity in all aspects of their life.

This can teach us how we must marry the two aspects of ourself - the lower self of the world, with the higher aspect of our spiritual connection to God.

It is a must see film, James Cameron, is an Avatar himself.

Immerse Yourself in the Web of Life

Info Overload!!!!

'Love never fails. But where there are prophesies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge it will pass away.'
1 Corinthians 13:8

Sometimes life can become very confusing!

Knowledge does not set you free, it gives you a headache!

There's an advert for an Internet search engine which shows someone asking for directions. The person starts of normally giving the information, then carries on giving random information in a chaotic way - the mind is in overload!

It is like when you Google something and you are presented with a list of random answers, interesting but not what you where looking for, and very easily distracting from what you where doing.

I love to learn!

My mind craves knowledge, I love History, Math, esoteric knowledge, Religion, culture. You name it I am interested in it. This is not bad in itself but sometimes this can lead you astray from the one simple truth - LOVE!

'Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud.' 1 Corinthians 13:4

All the knowledge in the world (and not in the world) is meaningless without Love.

So what do we do with an inquisitive mind?

We learn to see the love in all situations; all learnings; all teachings.

If God is Love, then all that God made is Love!

The equation of Love is in the architecture of Life; each sequence of events can be seen as a Mathematical equation, the answer being - LOVE!

So, when we feel an info overload and we become a little confused;

Stop!
Breath!
Connect back to LOVE!
This is what matters the most.

'And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.' 1 Corinthians 13:13

Love is the Only Way!

Without love, there is no hope.
Without love, there is no joy.
Without love, there is no solution.
Without love, there is no future.

You may give money.
You may give 'stuff'.
You may talk about love.

But without having love,
They are empty gestures.
Empty like the heart that gives -

Out of duty,
Out of guilt,
Out of confusion.

You will see problem,
After problem.
Suffer pain,
After pain.

Only love can heal.
Unconditional,
Unwanting,
Untainted,
Forgiving and true.

Love is the only way!

Look at your relationships in this way,
look at your situations today
And ask,
Where am I not loving?

Do not look at him or her to blame.
Only look at them to see the reflection,
of who you are

Are they unhappy?
Are they sad?
Are they mad?

What is it in YOU that is making you project unhappiness?
What is it in YOU that is making you project sadness?
What is it in YOU that is making you project madness?

Remember, Love is the only way!

Have a Clear Out!

Spring is here!

What better reason to have a clear out?

Put things into one of three bin liners;

1. Things I want to keep.

2. Things that can be 'fixed'.

3. Things I need to throw out.

Put back what you are keeping in a neat fashion. Do it with love, clean the item (yes even if is a tin of beans).

Make a point of 'fixing' those items that can be used. If you haven't done it by the end of the week - yes only a week - then get rid!

Throw the ones in the 'throw away' bin liner the same day, do not leave it lying around to gather dust.

Now, look at your cupboard, room, house, depending on what you have been clearing out. Does it need something to make it look better, fuller, more functional?

If so, choose items with care. Put thought into what you are bringing into that space. Run these choices through the following;

1. Do you LOVE it? (O.k if it's food for the cupboard ask, will you eat it, or will it just stay there until your next clear out?)

2. Is it functional? Again adjust your questioning to the situation. If it is a food cupboard, you could ask, 'Will it give me the vitamins I require or fill me with loads of empty calories?'

3. Does it work well with the rest of the items?

Job well done!

This brings in a rush of fresh energy and gives you the boost to tackle the trickier aspects of life, like having a clear out of your life!

One step at a time. Today, work on the external, when you are ready, you can work out on you.

What God Wants

What does God want?

Love all.
Live your life!
Be present.
Enjoy!
Make me smile.
Look at my Creation, it is beautiful!
PRAISE me for all I have done.
Love all
LOVE ME!

Unite Mind and Heart!

Open your mind and allow the truth be revealed.

Open your heart and let this truth seep in.

Connect to the ONE mind, ONE heart,

Connect to LOVE!

Hatred vs LOVE!

'Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule' Buddha.

Where does hatred come from? If all there is is LOVE?

In A Course of Miracles, it says that anything which is not love is fear!

Is hatred fear?

Is hatred fear of love?

If God is love, does this mean when we feel hate, are we far from GOD?

It is true that there is duality in life;

NIGHT and DAY

BLACK and WHITE

HOT and COLD

LOVE and HATE

You cannot do both at the same time. When there is Day there is no Night. If it is Black it is not White. When you Hate you do not Love.

You can hate because there is love, but you do not hate because you love.

As Buddha says, 'Hatred does not cease by hatred..'

You cannot stop hate by hating more. What you give power to, grows! You will find more reasons to hate, see more evidence around you to hate.

You can only stop hate by LOVE. '....This is the eternal rule'

Love vs Control

When we think of LOVE, we do not associate it with control.

The romantic notion of LOVE conjures an image of two free souls flying in the ethers, oblivious to anybody else. There is psychedelic '70s music playing in the background where everything seems in slow motion. There are sunflowers, warm sun and there are no worries in the world, you're in heaven. (This image is taken from the Movie Forty Year Old Virgin!)

CRASH!!!! Back down to earth!

Once the honey moon period ends which in biological terms means when there has been enough time given so that the human species can reproduce, that 'loving feeling' suddenly disappears and seems a very distant memory.

How long does this lurvvvvve feeling last?

Generalizing now, anything from two months to eighteen months. But this is very general. It depends on external influences.

When the lurvvvve feeling goes, so do the rose tinted glasses. You see your love interest with cynical, even critical eyes. Suddenly your love conquest becomes someone you need to keep down at any cost.

This is not done in an obvious way (unless the individual has extreme trust issues) but little questions (gestapo style) start spilling out of your mouth.

You suddenly feel insecure, and try to recapture that initial loving feeling but cannot, so you rationalize that it's because he/she doesn't love you anymore.

Whereas before, there was not much conversation, for you to notice that you have absolutely nothing in common other than a physical attraction, now it is glaringly obvious that you have nothing in common, not even the physical.

This is where the 'relationship' might end (which realistically is a good idea if you notice there is no hope of your minds ever meeting!)

But, if you are a romantic, insecure, hopeful,or all three then you stick to it and think I will get him/her to love me AGAIN!

It was not LOVE love to begin with it was LUST!!!!!

Any way the control takes over which is of course, born out of fear and insecurities.

Suddenly, all these unspoken demands pop up from nowhere and if they are not psychically known then there are upsets, fights,stomping of the foot and weeping into your best friend's arms (hopefully not a friend of the opposite sex which spells disaster), saying that, you don't know why they've changed!

No, they have not changed, you can now see them as they ARE!!! And they can see you as YOU are!!

Control,is not only about expecting something from another it is also about expectations of situations.

For example, a woman may expect that the natural course of a relationship is to move in have kids(if you haven't had one already) and get married. Or you pretend you don't want to get married but live in fuming hope, becoming resentful each day because you are not being asked to become the wife, where you made it clear when you met that you are a free spirit and don't want to get married....... blah blah blah!

This is where communication needs to be learnt. NoW is when you need to tell each other what you want from each other. The lust stage didn't need you to communicate much as instinct ran most of the show.

Now, is where you tell each other what you want and listen to what the other wants.

'But that's not romantic, if he/she loves me they should know!!!!'

Who says that they should know?

Where do we get these presumptuous ideals?


'Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud.
It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.'

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

The Angel guidance for today speaks of Abundance needing FAITH! Abundance is not just material gain, it is LOVE and JOY!

If we do not LOVE unconditionally, we cannot accept JOY, we cannot give LOVE and JOY!

Start today, by releasing control of situations, accept that 'GOD is in charge!' and give yourself some unconditional LOVE.

Then when it is time to share that LOVE, it will be coming from a pure place of LOVE and not control!

Love yourself too!

Love what you do, but
Love yourself too.
Nurture your creations, but
Nurture yourself too.
Take pride in your creations, but
Be proud of yourself too.
Be patient with their development, but
Be patient with yourself too.
Share your creations with others, but
learn from them yourself too.

Everything you desire for others,
Give yourself too.
Give what you want to receive,
Teach what you want to learn.
Become whole first
Before joining with another,
to become TWO!

Share your Light !!!

You are here to learn and
GROW.

As you grow you are to
SHOW.

Do not be afraid,
You are supported and
LOVED.

You have the power inside to
SHINE.

LOVE, that's all you need to
know.
