Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just wanted to share this with all of you. With all the recent talk about things in the world changing, needing to stock water/food/etc. I found myself in a not so great place. I thought I was moving along nicely but found this all struck a great deal of fear inside. I am ashamed at what a baby I've been. I don't know what's ahead, but one thing I have taken away from this is appreciation. We live in a very convenient world filled with gadgets and amenities. Many of us take for granted turning on lights, TV, computer, having a car, having running water, etc. I realize how complacent I have become, how I take certain things for granted. From this time onward I have a greater appreciation for all my blessings. This has also been a good reminder to live in the NOW because none of us really knows how long we will be here. Things that would have bothered me before are now no big deal. I look at my old self who was worried over silly things and I say "I have a roof over my head, food on my table, a loving family." We are far from rich, but that's ok because we are very rich in other ways. I found that I am not as far along as I thought I was. I am not detached from my family, my house, electricity, water, phone, car. "Things" don't mean anything to me anymore, I don't mean to sound like I am into stuff, but my life with my family means a lot to me. Having a roof over my head and food to eat means a lot. I also find that I do not want to live in fear and so I will do what I can and leave the rest in God's capable hands. I thank and all of you who have helped me to realize many of these things. The lessons are all around us. Sarita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well said Sarita these are not easy subjects, and it does make us all look inside and inspect motives and base chakra security.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Sarita Attachment - so true Recently for me we had to put down our 8year old family pet dog, yes, whilst we were away, and got a friend to be there when the vet put her to rest. As she was injected I could feel the surge of the stuff in the syringe infusing my body (even though I did not know the time it was being done - later confirmed), even though I was over 1000 miles away, and had both a spiritual experience and absolute grief at the loss... We only know a loss when we no longer have it, this gives a true empathetic,sympathetic ability for thos that also have that loss. The welcome home is empty, but she has gone and I have let her go... blessings and love nick--- On Wed, 13/8/08, Sarita <sarita1969 wrote: Sarita <sarita1969 Appreciation for our blessings Received: Wednesday, 13 August, 2008, 1:31 PM I just wanted to share this with all of you.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 My condolences too, Nick. I know how much pain one can suffer from a beloved pet's passing, espcially having to have it put down. It was a very hard thing to do.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Sarita love, I had the same realisation just today, I was thinking how much joy I feel in the moment, how lucky I am to have all that I need, and how stupid all the things that used to bother me seem, like worrying about my thighs, or hair, or job. Nothing seems important except love. HUGS and LOVE elektra x x x I think that this is the lesson! Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Elektra, How I can relate to what you have just said. Some of the things I used to stress over seem such a waste of my time now. They never even cross my mind any more. When I had my hair cut on Sunday people expected me to at least cry or regret what I had done, but none of that happened. I had been so attached to having long dreadlocks since the 1980's and obsessed about my hair every day. Since my K has awakened my areas of importance are being jumbled up, beyond my control and when I wake each morning I can feel the difference in my though patterns and automatic actions. I now totally surrender control to whatever this energy is. It makes me feel calm and loving in thoughts and action. It is leading me along a path, shedding all my useless baggage like a snake sheds its dead skin, on the way, giving me a lightness of spirit I have spent my life searching for. It is not in books, it is not in the latest 'new age' fad - its been inside all this time and only now I am hearing and letting it work its true magic on me. Blessings and Love to you Elektra, Chrism, Don, Paula, and everyone on this wonderful list. , Elektra Fire <elektra.fire wrote: > > Sarita love, I had the same realisation just today, I was thinking how much joy I feel in the moment, how lucky I am to have all that I need, and how stupid all the things that used to bother me seem, like worrying about my thighs, or hair, or job.
