Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Namaste Hi Everyone, blessings to you all, and hope you are increasingly aligned with the will of Shakti I had a lovely day.. it is my birthday today and I started off the day forgetting about it, only remembering about lunch time when my mom called. I got loads of appreciation from colleagues, students, friends and others, really feeling loved and acknowledged. This is really interesting, as one of my practices the last few weeks has been noticing how I keep love out in subtle ways through judgements, or trying to be something or earn love. They were very subtle ego contractions I was operating from, and so, in my attempts to stabilize being and bliss as a more stable way of being, I have been staying present, appreciating what arises and asking what it means to let love enter me... As part of that practice, I have been resting in what it means to be intrinsically valuable and worthy of receiving love, and having a sense of innate confidance in that worth, not as an arrogant way or an egoic way, but simply, what would it mean to receive unconditional love and respect just as I am. love without an opposite is increasingly who I am, and today was a beautiful affirmation that deeper openings have occured. I had more spontaneous appreciation in many ways than I think any other birthday for a long time, and i am deeply grateful to Shakti, my guides, and all the other voices and instruments of God who have been helping my path... love and light Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Dear Bruce, Happy Birth-day! Glad you are being present and birthing this opening to receive love and acknowledgement. My birthday was two weeks ago and I similarly had a beautiful day of appreciation and acknowledgement coming my way. It was a pleasant surprise as I hadn't reminded people but people seemed to remember. Love and blessings to you, Bruce.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Linda, You have been on my mind and I send love and blessings.  I wanted to write something to you but I had no words... then during sleep last night I remembered this poem and I know it was remembered for you.   Love Julia. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ________________________________ .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Julia, the poem really hit home. BIG TIME! I will take this as a very early B-day gift. As I read this, I knew exactly the moment when I began to hide myself. I have thought of this incident many times and did the forgivenss over and over through the years, but I never gave thought to what the incident did to me, how it changed me. This is a big one, I don't how how right now to turn it around, but I will work one it. All those years in Sunday School singing, " This Little Light of Mine " with my kids, I never applied it to myself. I remember the Holy Spirit working with me on it, but I could not surrender, could not get up enough courage to do what was asked of me. I blocked it out. I know what my gift was too (I guess I was not hide behind the door after all). I hope it is not to late. Visually, right now, I see this huge mountian before and it makes me dizzy/nauseous/spinning to look up. It makes my legs feel like jelly. That is FEAR with capital letters! I am going to need help to get past this. Recognition is the first step i guess. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! Julia!
