Life is Meant to be Happy

Today has become a perfect day for a fast. Living (and sharing meals) with a handsome, southern/mid-western-America-roots male, makes vegetarianism impractical for me. Mutual fasting must be carefully orchestrated.   But today, my love is away doing a 12-hour caregiver stint for an aging TV star (this I know is my beloved's perfect, joyful creation for himself, given his bottomless-pit, generous heart) so I am contentedly fasting (liquids only) at home.

I started this dietary program about two years ago (a few really big shifts happened for me at that time) because, as many women in the US today, I have IBS or some version of it. Never could get a solid diagnosis from a doctor of western medicine.  For ten years I tried all kinds of products and diet plans.  They helped for a short time, then back to the discomfort and pain.  I knew it had something to do with what I was eating, I just couldn't tweak my diet enough to relieve the symptoms.

Then, on the lookout for a home-based business, Dan and I were introduced to Isagenix.  It was actually the first time I was home doing the nine-day cleanse that my life as I knew it changed completely. The hard realization that I could no longer work in corporate America came over me. Then and there, I finally had the courage to walk away. After more than a quarter decade of clinging to the illusion of financial security, I gave up the 401K, health insurance, life insurance, a regular paycheck.  Dan had been self-employed for several years at that point and supported my decision.  We were going to live by the grace of God, focusing squarely on our spiritual well-being.

Well, two years later I have good results doing my cleansing fast and I don't have a "job." It's been truly wonderful, my cup overflows with gratitude. My day will be spent doing what I love most: reading and learning more about my Process of Personal Creation.  I met Taylore Vance and Roi Halse at the One Command Practitioner weekend last month and I'm reading the material they have put together on living out one's life purpose (see http://work-at-home.prosperity-tips.com).  And I'm re-reading Neale Donald Walsch's fantastic book "Happier Than God" because I feel stronger now, after the One Command, to put it's principles in place in my life.

So, dear reader, today, please do a little something toward experiencing support for your dreams and desires.  They are your guideposts to your purpose.  Really, if I can do this, anyone can.  The One Command has helped me, but try anything that you think will help, it usually does.  This is the journey; seek and you shall find.

Loving peace to you.

New Dawn, New Day, New Life

Since beginning my quest for enlightenment (or, as I call it, relief from life's pain) many years ago,  I've come across certain ideas held out as truths, several times, in different ways, from different schools of thought.  They were just words. Abstract concepts, beyond my grasp, pretty words, based on hope. I wanted to believe them, I just couldn't feel it. But I didn't scoff, I journeyed on.  I acknowledged that I was just so battle-scarred I couldn't feel much except pain. Soldier on, I told myself, what alternative did I have with this time on earth? Somehow I had it in my head, or heart, that there was something better than what I was experiencing so far. And more recently, every now and then, a little light came through.  Signs that I was going in the right general direction, at least.

Two years ago, I reached a plateau and have begun to "enjoy" the quest. Oh, level ground is rather disconcerting for me and there are still dark passages around, but for the most part the fears have quieted and I breathe easier now. But I still couldn't say I lived a joyous life.  Now here's the miracle.  After listening to Kathryn Perry's teleconference this recent Wednesday, those truths that have eluded me for years, suddenly became very real.  Finally.  At long last (you have no idea.) What blessed relief! Alleluia!

  

We are divine beings.  We are here to experience life. We are creating all the time.  We create our lives by the feelings we get from our thoughts and beliefs. 

In my mind I can hear Asara Lovejoy saying, isn't it funny how things become real and clear after you work with the One Command?  I feel so vindicated. My reprieve has finally come. I'm free and I know it and I know what to do now.

Since Wednesday morning, I know deep within me exactly how I was creating my life.  I am always re-living, re-generating some very basic core ideas that I came to identify as "me." The constant feelings that I harbor on a moment-to-moment basis, day in and day out are the stuff my life is made of.  These ideas and their corresponding feelings were picked up, carried, expounded on, throughout my life battle/journey. They have been with me since infancy, probably longer.  I created these and my life as it was.  I FEEL it in the fiber of my being. 

My next revelation was, why torture myself and continue with the same old issues and outcomes over and over? What's the use of staying stuck? Of thinking the same thoughts and feeling the same way minute by minute, year after year.  And then expect a different result from this same pattern? To paraphrase Albert Einstein or Rita Mae Brown: How insane is that?

So I have latched on, cling for dear life, to the few better-feeling ideas I have.  These are my dreams, my fairy-tale hopes.  I am happy (and surprised) that I have any!  So this is the new stuff with which I am creating my life.  I will continue moment-by-moment to re-live and re-generate these new ideas and feelings and with the help of the One Command, avoid a return to the old ones.  

And I have to ponder Asara's observation: I never was able to do this before using the One Command.  Why not soldier on and explore this yourself?  

Peace and Love to you.
