Songcast

I put together a song using GarageBand ‘08. I wasn’t able to get the file in an acceptable format for WordPress yet…

Mississauga

I want to live in Mississauga, or even Brampton again.

Synchronicity

What exactly is synchronicity?

According to one online dictionary it is the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. Though as I have recently discovered, there can be a discernible causal connection… you, the interpreter.

Another online dictionary describes synchronicity as being a coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related. That said, they are no longer coincidences then, no?

Let’s examine what a coincidence is…

One online dictionary states that it is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

A second online dictionary coins it differently by saying it is a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance.

I understand this not because of what the words say but because of personal experience. I say synchronicity is when the coincidences are occurring in insurmountable amounts for a long period of time. The feeling that this generates is overwhelming and can make your stomach queasy and your mind bewildered. The feeling is one that lifts your heart like when riding a roller coaster. Or maybe you can understand it when I say butterflies in the stomach, and lots of them fluttering very quickly all over the place!

Love

Love is a state of being. Love is not something you can find in the outside world. Only when you look within can you connect with the love you were born to live.

Tiger

“Only the man who has freed himself from the tiger within his own system can see the tiger in other people and not be bothered by it.” Vernon Howard says it best.

No Such Thing

Without the need to be accepted, there can be no rejection… it is being happy either way that makes life beautiful.

Though these may be just words at this time, they will soon become my experience. The toughest part is replacing Feel Bad feelings for Feel Good feelings. I know there is a way and Lynn Grabhorn speaks of it plenty in her book entitled “Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting”. Back to the drawing board Leia…

Shaughnessy’s Pub and Grill

I need to make my own fun, so last night I went out to Shaughnessy’s. I met a couple of interesting people. I had fun. I laughed and stayed in control of myself. Good to know I can do this at will. This included holding my tongue when needed. I realize that socializing helps me stay out of thought. That is good for me. So now I am on the lookout for fun! This is a new concept for me… lame maybe, but true nonetheless.

Chance

There is no such thing as chance, or luck for that matter. As per Lynn Grabhorn in her book Excuse Me… Your Life Is Waiting our world is as it is because we have created it that way. She says we are the creators of our life, whether it be conscious or unconscious. This author stresses the fact that we are magnetic energy and we each have a vibrational frequency. She continues to state that it is our feelings that determine our vibration. There are Feel Good feelings she writes, and Feel Bad feelings. Who’d a thought? Not me, that’s for sure!

For so long I have been despondent. Not feeling a single feeling. Living in my mind, living in thought. I thought I was happy. I thought I was living. How wrong I was! With this new insight, my life has already begun to change. I am feeling again, I am thinking less and I am actually starting to enjoying myself. As per Lynn Grabhorn, this is raising my vibrational frequency bringing me closer to my Inner Being, to the pure joy that exists within me.

I haven’t wanted anything for as long as I can remember. And that’s a long time. I thought wanting was the cause of suffering. Not wanting meant not suffering. How wrong was I, again! Disconnected to life is what I was. And now I feel I am reconnecting to life, to my Inner Being… to that place inside of me that is pure joy. It feels good to feel Feel Good feeeeeelings! And this is just the beginning…

I find myself wanting again. This wanting is providing me with a great sense of excitement; something my life has lacked for a long time. This wanting is changing what I am creating in my life, and I am beginning to learn how to control the Law of Attraction. Lynn Grabhorn explains that The Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the Universe. This may be true… it is time to master it. It is time to see what I can really create for myself, consciously.

Harp

Loreena McKennitt plays the harp. I don’t know much about her otherwise. I have only seen one harp before.

Unemployed

Being unemployed allows for plenty of time for me to spend with myself without distraction. I am coming to know more and more about myself. I am beginning to understand why I do the things I do, and why I say the things I say. In combining this understanding with the teachings of the Mystic Path I know that when I do anything that goes against my True Self it is because I have fallen victim to my ego, or my false self.

The false self is any picture or idea you have about yourself, which is false. Whatever this picture or idea is, know that that is not who you are. It is only an idea or picture that exists in your mind. This may be who you think you are but it is not. You are something entirely different. This is exciting news for it provides you with freedom. No longer are you a slave to the ideas you have of yourself, your false self.

Once you know this, you can differentiate between what is truly beneficial to you and what is just a vain attempt at nothing of lasting value. The part of you that is your false self will not want to know anything that has the power to dissolve its shaky existence. True strength lies in the amount of Truth you can take without running away. Once you realize that you too have a false self, you can begin to live a new life. You can break free of the chains, or ideas that kept you a prisoner in your own dungeon.
