To be in this world, but not of this world

It’s so interesting.

Even after miraculous proof that God has brought me and my children out of homelessness and deep despair, our friends and church members insist that I need a man, or Super Nanny, in order to be OK.

I am OK, actually, I’m better than OK!  I am that I am.  And I trust that God will lead us to what is next, as He has led us to what is here.  Here = Bliss.

Why is it so difficult for people to see that we are blessed? 

In all truth, that they are blessed, too, if only they let go of the “ways things are supposed to be” and let in the way “things can be” with faith and affirmation. 

We need to empty our glass in order for the Blessings to fill it up.  Worry, concern, the ways of this world as the ONLY way — all that fills up our glass to the rim.  No room left.

Let’s let go of the limitations of “how things are supposed to be, or should be” to open up to “the infinite blessings of the Universe”.

Thanks for listening.

BE THANKFUL (author unknown)

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.  If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.  During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

Be
thankful for your mistakes.  They will teach you valuable lessons.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good thingsA life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.  Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings!!

Love you,

Wendy Sue

“Surrogates” movie left me with many questions

As a single working mom with 5 darling children, I do not have much time for the movies, or extracurricular activities.

Yet, last night was a grand celebration of my 2-year anniversary of rebirth and new life.  So, I hired a friend to babysit, and met a new friend for a movie date.

We were going to see “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: An IMAX 3D Experience”.  This was after much research, to find that there are no highly rated films, and at least this one will provide an experience, an adventure.

However, my friend was late, and we ended up seeing “Surrogates” with Bruce Willis.  This movie was actually my first choice, as I love Sci-Fi, but the reviews were negative.

And as it happens through out life, everything happens for a reason.  “Surrogates” was an excellent film in expressing the concept of what might happen to us humans if we were given the opportunity to change our looks and presence by choosing a surrogate, a robot, that we are programmed into and can virtually live through.

We can be beautiful, thin — have blond long hair (blond’s do have more fun, right?), or have the muscles of a man who works out at the gym every day for 20 years.

On top of that, are we morally responsible for what we do through our surrogate?  Can we take more risks, act more daring, less cautious? 

This reminds me of the early days of virtual worlds, which I was a part of in 1996 San Francisco.  Now, it has developed to the most popular “Second Life”, where through digital representations of oneself, we can be whomever we want.  And, we can express that part of us that may not be accepted or acceptable in the “real world”.

As a human race, as technology progresses — it is more important than ever to grasp who we are, inside and out.  To accept and love who we are, and to make the necessary changes we need to in order to be a better person. 

No technology can hide who we really are, from others or from ourselves. 

Don’t you agree?

Symptoms of Inner Peace

This came to me from our Unity Church and has helped me see where the “peace” is missing, or where it is blossoming.
 
For me – #8 and #12 are ones that has become an integral part of my being-ness, and has brought me tremendous inner peace and joy.  Yet, #5 and #7 are still a challenge for me, ones I’ve been consistently working on and making some progress.
 
How about you?
 
SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE©:

  1. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experience.
  2. An unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment!
  3. A loss of interest in judging other people.
  4. A loss of interest in judging self.
  5. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
  6. A loss of ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom).
  7. A loss of interest in conflict.
  8. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
  9. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and with nature.
  10. An interesting tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen. (Or as I say, to go with the flow, to let go and let God).
  11. Frequent attacks of smiling.
  12. An increased susceptibility to the love extended to others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

“Be the cause of time, not the effect of it” — Yehuda Berg

A giver or a true giver?

Hey you.

Yes, you.  I’m talking to YOU.

We all like to give to a certain extent, as it makes us feel good, and we hope we will receive in return.  Yin and Yang.  Give and Take.  Love and hate.

Life is a trip, and we can either let the wind blow us from here to there, like leaves, or take a hold of the steering wheel, and take the trip from the heart.  That is the only GPS device worth mentioning here…

The heart is the center, the core of who we are.  Are we giving to get something back, including satisfaction and ego along the lines of, “they really need me”, or even better, “poor them, let me help them”.

OK, I’m talking from a place of being there, and now here.  Well, in a quick synapses, I went from being thrown out on the streets — homeless, penniless and childless (ex had full custody of my 5 children with a temporary restraining order) — to now, after almost 2 years of great struggle, faith and help — living in a lovely 3-bedroom home in a decent neighborhood with food, clothes, furniture… and even a good consulting job (during a bad economic downturn).

Miraculous.  Yet true.

So what has happened?

Well, a few of my good friends who have helped me in so many amazing ways when me and my children were down and out, are now lashing out at me with jealousy and envy.  How can that be?

Maybe it is because they were helping us to be better than us, or to feel like they were important because we really need the help?

Isn’t that all ego talking?  EGO – Edges God Out.

I’m hurt, but not personally offended, as I know it is their trip, whether they choose to be blown by the wind or to grab the steering wheel and find their heart, their love.

Thanks for listening… and please, always give from the heart, without ego.  That’s when you will see your offerings come back to you, and multiply.  I promise.

What You Give Returns Ten Fold

I am thoroughly getting the concept “what goes around comes around”.

“What you sow is what you reap” or just plain “Karma”!

The more I remain open, in mind and heart, the more comes my way.

The less I stress about whatever, the more abundance I am blessed with.

It’s because of all our worries and stress that we hold on tight to what we do have, as if our cup is half full.

Yet, if you open up your gifts to the Universe, your cup will runneth over.

I promise — it’s an Universal law in place.

Real briefly, a neighbor is fixing up a home to be rented, and came over looking for a vacuum belt.  Well, at first, I told him straight out that I don’t have an extra belt, sorry. 

Then he looked a bit disappointed, so I asked him if there was anything else I could offer him.

He immediately lit up, and said, “yes, a vacuum?”

That I have! 

Soon after, he came over and offered to post the gate on my fence – something my landlord has promised to do, when he has the time to do so.

Well, now we can securely fence our home in at night, and my darling landlord can focus on planting us that grass for our front yard instead!

Life is such a beautiful gift.

Thank you for reading, sharing and being!

Kabbalah’s “Survivor Consciousness” = True Prosperity

Hello my friend,

Been reading a truly awesome book called True Prosperity by Yehuda Berg, an internationally renowned expert on the Kabbalah.

After years of dipping into the Kabbalah, with the desire to honor my Jewish roots and my spiritual pull toward mysticism, Yehuda Berg is the first person I have found to be able to put a 4000 year old philosophy into every day terminology that we can understand and embrace.

The chapter I’d like to discuss now is called “Survivor Consciousness”.  It is the first time I’ve been able to actually READ what it is that has given me the strength and Divine power to bring me and my children out of homelessness, to now a lovely 3-bedroom home in a decent neighborhood (and for those of you who are familiar with my recent escapade, including ALL of the tremendous challenges in between!).

Please allow me to quote from True Prosperity

“One of the most powerful tools for achieving true prosperity is survivor consciousness.  This is the state of mind that makes it possible for people to overcome even the most unspeakable of horrors; it’s that hunger for life that you find in survivors of the Holocaust death caps, or the killing fields of Cambodia or Rwanda…

“People who possess survivor consciousness are literally unstoppable.  How many times has Donald Trump gone bankrupt and emerged more successful than before?”

“Survivor consciousness is a state of mind in which you feel as if your life were hanging in the balance, and spiritually speaking it is – for if you stop growing spiritually, you die.”

This makes perfect sense to me and is what I previously called, “NO pain, NO gain”.  Then after much debate and input, I’ve changed my stance to “Transform pain into gain”.

Now I realize (with REAL eyes) that what it’s really about is taking our pain and stress into the Light, to use it as a tool for clarity, to provide us with certainty about the goals that we are determined to reach.

It’s with this “survivor consciousness” that I survived 10 years of horrific domestic violence, and turned what appeared to be a totally hopeless situation into one tremendous blessing after another.

There has been many miracles for me and my children over the last 2 years, and I believe one of the ways we were open to the abundance of the universe was through this consciousness, as well as my unfaltering faith and connection to a Higher Source.

If there is a major problem in your life, don’t avoid it.  Look at it head on and translate it into Light — how can it take you to a higher place?   It’s there to help move you to what’s next, if you so choose.

We all have the ability to tap into this, and we don’t NEED a crisis to activate it.

What can you do today to activate your “survivor consciousness”?

God Bless YOU,

Wendy Sue / Lady Clarity
