A Time Under Heaven

There is a time for everything and a time for every happening under heaven. A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, and a time for uprooting. —Ecclesiastes: Chap. 3 : ver. 1&2

I'm not a biblical scholar, but this scripture reads so true to me. I ask my inner counsel why is it that life here in this body, on this Earth is so temporal. I receive the answer, "it just is" and "that's the beauty of it." As I hear this from my wise and almighty head/thoughts I have a flashback to a restaurant that my family used to frequent when my sister and I were children. The restaurant is still there, but the memories are fading. 

As I approach my 'senior' years, the age of the Crone (and I'm SO proud to be in the Crone category now) I have a bucket list a mile long. I never had a bucket list until last year. What the heck? But now it seems important to begin acting on the dreams I've had for so many years and have denied. Why now? I'm not sure. But now is the time. This I do know. Now is the time.

Dream Big and Act on It or Go Home is my motto for the rest of this era. My body may be getting older but my mind is growing younger!


I see myself helping others understand the divinity within all life that will eventually bring peace to the Earth and humanity via collective prayer/meditation, intention and action. I want to teach others to “read” or see for themselves the near future possibilities, probabilities and what can be changed for more effective creation experiences. Not everyone has clairvoyance that is immediate, but everyone can enhance their mindfulness and even psychic insight abilities with practice, persistence and allowing.

If I die today...

Inspired by my husband's recent medical experience...

If I die today, they’ll not know my wisdom.

If I wait until the morrow, they still may not know.

So I wonder then, perhaps the wisdom is just for me.

But I have learned so much from my elders, those in mid-life, and the young

Why wouldn't they wish to learn from me?

Perhaps there isn't time, or enough grace that will allow for that.

This life has been rich with love, sadness and joy.

Experience is all there is, perception is what shapes the experience.

I learn from the lives of others.

Can they learn from mine?

Or is this ego talking?

Listening with the heart is what matters.

Listen with the heart and express Compassion, Non-judgment and Truth.

Maybe I’ll just tuck the wisdom away, sweep it under the rug…

Because no one cares.

I am invisible, they do not…cannot…see me.

My snowman cup

Today I took a picture of my coffee cup by mistake. At first I was frustrated because my phone just goes into camera mode for no (what I can figure out) logical reason. But then I started to see that indeed I am still using my snowman cup and I want spring to finally arrive in North America. So, of course I finished drinking my coffee from my snowman cup, washed it and put it way back in the cupboard, not to be seen until December.

I love that cup though, mostly because of its design, the way it is easy to hold and from which to sip. Hmmm...will I manage without the snowman cup for nine long months? I could pick up another cup designed like it from the dollar bin at the local store? But it's not the same. It's not broken in.

Most people would say that I'm being ridiculous. My mother would have said I was being ridiculous. But, there are very few things I hang onto in my world. One of them is my daily coffee "experience". I did not drink coffee until I was 30 years old, mostly because of the acidic effect it had on my body, and second because I didn't like the after taste. But my girlfriend of days gone by then introduced me to Starbucks coffee and I was hooked for life. I knew I could buy it to have at home, and also then bought a very fancy coffee maker. Every morning I would get up at 5 am, before the kids awoke and sit with my coffee on the porch or near a window if it was cold. I would journal, write my thoughts. Once I was done with my first cup, the chaos began in the household. 

Once again I am in the time of my life where I have the liberty to sit by my window or out on the deck (once spring does arrive) and write my thoughts every morning. What a delight to be close to retirement age, an age when I can choose what I do, when....and also what a delight my snowman cup is to me. I think I'll keep using it until next winter. Spring will come anyway.

oh...and...now I most often write my thoughts at the old computer where I wrote my first book. It makes me feel connected.

What is "Psychic" Perception?I

 "The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me my true place in life." --Joseph Murphy

Within my perspective, the psychic insight that I receive is not from another place, time or experience. It is right here and now. When I want to know something about my own future, sometimes the answers don't come to me. When I ask why, I usually receive an answer something like, "it's not time yet" or "if you knew you would jump ahead and miss some important parts of the journey." So from this I infer that I must 'enjoy the process'....and not give up on what I want, where I am going--my work and my life/love/relationships. Mostly I don't want to give up on God, Source, Universe, Humanity and Earth. 

It's true that I often know things that others may not yet perceive, but that is because I work at polishing the channels of reception. I ASK every day to be a divine receptacle, and if I lose my way, "please bring me back." And trust me, I have lost my way many, many times. It is human nature to need to be reminded that we are also Divine, as well as human. Psychic perception comes from paying attention, checking in regularly and by being open to all that is out there-positive or negative. However, placing a positive spin on the negative is how the mind can help us create success.  Our thoughts and reactions are what can help us bring the positive manifestations into our work and lives. Nothing is impossible within the Divine. The Divine (and our mind attuned to and aligned with the Divine) is what develops our abilities to perceive psychically and through other sixth-sense faculties. We are Co-Creators making this world happen. Humanity wouldn't be here without the Divine Force/Source and the Divine wouldn't have its beautiful Living Library of Earth without Humanity weaving the pieces together.

Half Full...or...Half Empty?

                   

                       So, is the water bottle half full...or half empty?









Such is the dilemma in life. Am I an optimist..or a pessimist? I guess it might depend upon my mood.

I'm in love with the Earth.

The sky amazes me especially in spring. The clouds hide the mountain temporarily, just as they cover the sun on other days.

Nature is my calling. One day as I walked the mountain, I was feeling blue...down on my luck. But when I asked what the heck I was doing here, what is my purpose? The answer came clearly as I saw the most beautiful landscape in front of me. There were huge boulders, an awesome sky and plenty of little animals running around.

"I'm in love with the Earth," is the answer that came. How can I leave the one I love?

Ego

Today I write about ego. This has been perplexing me for a few days now. I've been writing about it, doing research and I still don't understand the complexities of ego, at least from a human, intellectual standpoint I don't. The spiritual literature makes sense. Here is an excerpt from Alice Bailey:

When I use the term "reciprocal vibration," what do I mean? I mean the adaptation of the Personality or Lower Self, to the Ego, or Higher Self, the dominating of the Personality ray by the ray of the Ego and the combining of their tones. I mean the blending of the primary color of the Higher Self with the secondary hue of the Lower Self until beauty is achieved. At first, there is dissonance and discord, a clashing of the colors, and a fight between the Higher and the Lower. But as time progresses, and later with the aid of the Master, harmony of color and tone is produced (a synonymous matter), until eventually you will have the basic note of matter, the major third of the aligned Personality, the dominant fifth of the Ego, followed by the full chord of the Monad or Spirit.

Deep!

Winter from my office window...going deep!

Deep!  It is snowing outside after a beautiful tank-top weather day yesterday so my mind and heart want to go "DEEP".... Today I want to delve deep within myself. I want to see what it is that drives my ego. 

"People measure their self-knowledge by what the average person in their social environment knows of himself, but not by the real psychic facts which are for the most part hidden from them. In this respect the psyche behaves like the body, of whose physiological and anatomical structure the average person knows very little too." Carl Jung [The Undiscovered Self]

So if my 'body' is putting into place the ego today, I am in deep doo-doo. See. I wanted to go deep but my body is feeling the effects of very little sleep last night, and a weather change that always disrupts my physical flow lately. I want to be creative, but nothing comes. I want to be productive, but I am too tired. So neither my house gets clean or my homework gets done. I actually feel a bit useless today. 

I welcome any and all higher guidance into my space, as the guides, angels and spirits don't have the weight of human form to slow them. I feel sluggish...and I want to go somewhere. I often wonder if my ego mind would like to dismiss or shed the physical body...and if so, would there still be ego?

Welcome to my Writing Table

MY WRITING TABLE

Thank you for joining me here at my blog. I've decided to write within the scope of "It's My Perception". In this blog space I will share how I perceive things in my life--inside and out, also in the world sometimes, and will come mostly from an intellectual heart space. We wouldn't be human without the heart or the brain interpreting mind.  Since mind is comprised of thought, it is through the brain that we pick and choose which thoughts come into our consciousness. These thoughts are then discerned by us, and we can choose which thoughts then go back out into the group mind. This hopefully brings our desired structured reality to us so that we can experience life through our senses; touch, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and the grouping of sixth sense qualities such as intuition, psychic insight, spirit reception and more.

As many know I am a psychic, clairvoyant, intuitive and channel. Not only does my brain race with thoughts, I have well developed receptors to many underlying energies going on within experience. Sometimes all of this information can become overwhelming and painful. I work to consciously come from a place of joy most of the time, but once in a while the overwhelm gets to me. I would say that indeed I have a highly developed nervous system, which qualifies me as an HSP (highly sensitive person--Elaine Aron). hsperson.com

This semester of my graduate program I chose to take a class called "Writing as Art". I am happy to be in this course because it is forcing me to sit with pen and paper, and create--write and draw. In today's photo I exhibit my writing table. Every morning as the sun beats in my window, and I have the view of Spanish Peaks in front of me, I write-by hand-in my journal. I find that I have a lot to say. It's not like this is the end of my life, in the third trimester whatsoever. Often it feels like the beginning of my life, and yet I have a story to tell.

So for now "It's My Perception" is just that--my perception. Often people have told me that I have an interesting interpretation of life and situations but my perception is tainted with the psychic abilities I have, like it or not. I am using this venue/format so that I can sort out what is personal preference or opinion, and what is psychic perception. And I finally want to share my perception on a regular basis with whomever may want to view. What is truth and what is not? These ethical concerns for me are important. If you enjoy my process and learn from it, then that is wonderful. If not, there is no need to stay on the page. 

I welcome anyone here that comes in peace and wants to enjoy, learn and just BE...be-cause that is what life is, a state of be-ing. That is my perception.
