The true miracles are NOW...

[Art]

Hey all,

I have been pondering this thread for awhile now, so I hope my point will come across as desired...

As I step outside of myself and examine my learning and spiritual development to this point, I'd have to say the real miracles for me are right here, right NOW. The awakening process is unique for each individual, and leads us on an endless quest of discovery. This quest has enriched me, and filled my being with the sense of oneness.

Some of the great folks on this forum have "brought me back down to earth", so to speak. "What is going to happen in 2012?" is a question we all ask ourselves. "What does the transformation to 4D involve?" is another. These great mysteries are slightly out of our reach "timewise", and from my viewpoint, out of our control. However, what is in our control, our free will to do so, is our acceptance of oneness. This is the true miracle.

What I'm getting at here, is once we come to understand oneness, and apply lessons from the LoO, we must live a Service to Others lifestyle, correct? To my knowledge, its easier to define what isn't Service to Others rather than to list out things we should do. My approach to Serving Others has taken the easiest of forms - being a pleasant individual who is open to spread love. The "applications" of this manifest in a variety of ways. We can't force it, that would be a violation of Free Will. However, we can each lend a hand, offer a shoulder to cry on, help make one smile - its the little, seemingly easy things that I think make a huge difference. Put another way, as awakened individuals, we need to lead by example NOW, and this is easily done, again, by little things. "Be a beacon of Light"

Yes, I look forward to the miracles that await us. However, the time to celebrate is NOW, for I feel, the true miracle in all of this is the process of awakening. Miracles are all around us, and opportunties exist for learning, for teaching, for spreading the light. These opportunities rarely come to you, you have to go out and get 'em. Don't wait for the wonders of the ascension or 2012, the future depends on how you act NOW...

Open to corrections, opinions! ;)

Hi, Art!

A great post, uplifting and personally inspiring, I think this really cuts to the quick in regards to the unique attributes of the 'present moment'.

It is within this very moment that the gate to everything resides. Now is the time to live and to serve, and to just BE.

The concerns of places we've been and our expectations of the future are legitimate and necessary things to ponder, although to be fully in the moment and of the moment is to be fully awake and connected to our own potential for our best service. The past is a written book, un-editable. The future is not formed, inaccessible. The miracle of 3D life resides in our apprehension of the present moment, it is the nexus of connection to all there is within the One.

I see you already have learned this is true, and I thank you for your inspiring post.

What's to correct?

We know what works is simple and easy...and serving others is the most satisfying work there is...combined with simple and easy....you have the wonder of ascension here and now.

We are here in physical bodies for a reason...are you enjoying yours?

I theel (a combination of the words think and feel) that ascension will be an individual experience and I like to imagine it as all the joy I've ever experienced in a pile...and then some.

Sending tons of love, heaps of peace and oodles of laughs

PS. You're the only one who knows how to well and truly love you...so give er!

Really Nice Art!! And what more is there to say on that? Nothin'. You got it, and we all just need to give it all our real best.

It is encouraging to hear others out there reflecting upon, just Love, and being overall interested in doing what it is they can do, to be open, and to be honest and willing to take those steps to Be it. And even though I don't know who you all are, its nice to know you're out there doin' it too.

Quite frankly, I am tired of all the bs that takes away from this incredible life, (as challenging as it is), but in just being it and living it for real, and the joy that comes from givng it, Here and NOW, of course, no other place..!

Muchas Gracias, y Paz en la Tierra...

anyways, thats what I'm Theelin', which is better than just Finkin' around..:D

(went out in the backyard to hear the early morning birds just after I wrote that last post, and laughed as Daydream's word "theel" went through my head.)


Have a really nice ONE!

Michelle, MarkM, and DAYDREAMS,

Thanks for replying. I do have some more to add to the subject...

When contemplating how I would word this thread, I spent a great deal of focus on discussing "living in the NOW". This is also commonly known as "living in the moment", and even "experiencing oneness". A newer member, Filip, recently wrote this in another thread:

"The word oneness is a word, it is unity, it is all there is, it is that...
But this word is empty without experience, you have to experience this yourself to know what it is."

Unfortunately, I do not think I got my true viewpoint across about the ascension, etc. The ascension, 2012, and transformation to 4D (all the same "event"?), DON'T "rule" my life as they once did (up until very recently in fact). I spent a greal deal of effort (fueled by anxiety) to learn as much as I could, as if some massive test were on the horizon, and I wanted to ace it. Not anymore (as far as the "anxiety" is concerned, I still like to learn about new things and practice meditation of course! :) ).

This is due to living oneness, not preparing for one day to be "re-united", because I was never separated! Oneness, Light, and Love abound EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME, you just have to look through the "fog" to see it. Focus on the b/s and negative, and you're missing out! It took a LONG time to realize this, and I got little "snippets" here and there (of experiencing oneness). Now I see the world through different eyes, and seemingly everytime I "look", these "snippets" are there.

One of my previous bosses once told me, "You control how you react to things." I never understood this until recently, but he was right. Let the b/s of life roll off ya. And don't beat yourself up if you get frustrated or angry from time to time - channel those emotions into loving energy. It takes work, but you can do it!

No more preparation, no more tests, no more "worries". Time isn't really a factor, because, again, the true miracle is the awakening process, and how you live your life from that point on. As another member commonly writes, "There is nothing to fear, we'll be alright". This is true. I don't fear "not making the grade" - not ascending, or not transforming to "4D". The largest transformation has already occurred, and again, these things, which will happen, are "additional perks" or "icing on the cake". And, if they don't happen, oh well. The true miracles are NOW. These "events" served as a catalyst for "accelerated" awakening; in hindisight, I was on the "path" much earlier than a year ago, when things really took off. I'm reminded of the lyric, "What a long strange trip its been." And we've got a while to go. ;)

My last words on this would then be, if you are a member of this forum, chances are pretty darn good you're an awakened individual. You may still be in the process of awakening, learning, (we all are and always will be), but again, don't wait for the miracles of the near future, get out and enjoy the miracles that are right here, right NOW! Awakening has a beginning, but doesn't have an end in my book. No individual is "more awakened" than another. You either are, or you aren't. And, in Service to Others, our "divine assignments" as "beacons of light" are to offer "help" to those who ask for it - help them to see the light through their eyes. I think this is why alot of us are driven to learn; not to "put the pieces of the puzzle" together, but to have many different avenues of which to "discuss awakening to oneness" with people. There are many "messages", many "actions", many "ways" we can do this, and ALOT of us are doing this now. Keep up the good work! Just remember, be open and don't violate someone else's Free Will.

Moderator please discard if this paragraph is unnecessary - disclaimer - These are VERY difficult things to write about, and I'm trying to tread lightly, hoping not to offend any member of the forum. I'm not trying to come off as a know-it-all or anything, and, honestly, I have much more learning to do and growth ahead of me. But I do see things differently and wanted to share this shifted view with ya'll. This thread is meant to introduce an alternative perspective on these fine times we're living in, but in no way is meant to challenge the "sanctity" of the forum! Frankly, the inspiration for this message subtly came through from another member's post in a different thread. With anything, use your own judgement, i.e., if these writings do not resonate with you, thanks for your time and keep searching!

Take care my friends, and may love fill your being and the light shine through for all to see. :D

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for sharing that laugh...I have to credit another person with putting "theel" together...it's an excellent word to describe the intuitive process. I'll not be surprised to hear the word theel go mainstream.
Love,love,love,
Anne

Hey there! Im new to this forum so go easy on me :P

I totally agree with you guys, its the small things that creates difference, i know it first hand.. I work at a studio i Stockholm, sweden, and we allways are buisy, and everyone is allways focused and sometimes stressed. So i go in sometimes with lame jokes and i just goof around sometimes to break the tention or something, I want to be the person that breaks that pattern which really isnt healthy. I like to say wierd and stupid things sometimes, not to make anyone laugh at me, but to laugh with me, levity is the key :) Also helping around at work, whenever anyone needs any help, if that removes some weight from anyones sholder, than im greatful :) Plus you get alot of friends you can trust in :)

Cheers!

[DAYDREAMS@onelink.ca]

Welcome, welcome...

I learned to speak French employing the same tactics you talk about using to relieve stress...I was willing to have fun with how silly, I an English born person sounded speaking French. Stress is mostly about us taking ourselves too seriously.

It's a pleasure to meet you Tomislav...it is great to be able to chat with people from around the world through forums such as this.

Sending tons of love, heaps of peace and oodles of laughter every which way...
Anne

thanx! feels good to be here! :)

ive heared alot of people speak about this and that, and when i heared david i knew this was something :)

peace and cheers!

Heya welcome Clayman, and hello Daydreams! Had to pop in when I felt all this "levity" and good cheer! Ya, its nice to know that with so much hardship in the world, that a little piece of a happy lighthearted moment can still create love and that wonderful ripple effect... And staying Up is so important. It keeps that ball rollin' around, and reminds us to remember what we're all really here for. Nice to hear your stories.:)

And its so nice of a feeling when we connect with each other out there, just by shedding a little joy and a little understanding with our fellow humans, no matter what our moods or dispositions. It shows what is possible for us to find in each other that has attempted to go astray with all the illusions of division around us. I keep finding it more important to take that time to pray, ponder deeply, meditate more, and more quickly trying to catch myself when I'm off track, so I can feel that great feeling that always comes from good intentions. The love from the Universe is always always Here for us, sometimes it seems ya just need to tap in, and there it is.

Ya, its good to be alive!:D

Peace,
michelle
