Our Universal friends

Good Morning!
 
The psychic part of what I do is not a "gift",  it is something all of us are..Spiritual beings, in a human body, with a direct connection to God. 
The thing that separates us from God (Universe, Source) is our willingness to listen, and trust that the voice in our head is not our own..
 
I utilize automatic writing, whereas I write down what my little voice says, and trust me when I say... I could never come up with the loving kindness and unconditional love that my Universal friends provide to me, and those I work with.
As humans, we are ego, controlling and until there is a situation that we do not feel in control of, it's then that we turn to God (Universe, source, guides) for help.
What I have learned to do, is remove the ego that limits us, and I ask for guidance..because I have finally realized that I don't have all the answers..and that calm still voice, that sounds like me is not me at all...
 
Control has been the major stumbling block in my life, since me and control have been bosom buddies.. the kind of friend that is not good for you, who takes you down the dark road of what I want..well, I have got what I want, many times, but seldom is it what I needed (except the lesson that goes with it!!)
 
But, because the Universal friends love us, they allow us to come to that understanding on our own...gently giving us messages, and guidance that seems so contrary at times to what we WANT...
Revealing that what we want, and what we need are two entirely separate things....lol
 
Ask your little voice what it would like to be called, and dare to listen to that guidance.
 
The thought for the day is part of a dialog from my Universal friends to me.....
 
Here is the thought for the day-
Marianne, you read this today;

“All wisdom is camouflaged. Like Fox. Unless people believe in the invisible world, which only becomes visible when they open their hearts to understand and learn the truth.” (Jamie Sams )

We must love everything, everyone.

Your world is full of Children who have no one to parent them, to Nurture them unconditionally. 

It is time to bring what you have learned, what you know and remember (from the past lives) to the world.

Your Earth Brothers and Sisters know what they need/want, but they fear change, the uncomfortableness of growth, letting go of what has served them so far.

Keep up this vision.

As with you, the message is repeated, over and over, until the pattern is recognized...

Trust that which only you can see. To others it is a Miracle, to you it is obvious.

Your people are merging (melting pot), but there is not any one tradition. That they have lost their Ancestral Path.

No wonder they chase the man on the money, He is the Grandfather.

Will someone let me out of here?!!

Good Morning!
 
In order to move forward, it's necessary to work through the past.
 
The past is like a mound of garbage that we need to clear before we can move forward. It stops us from growing and from creating new memories.
 
We cling to the past like a rope, reliving detail after painful detail, when most of the people, places and things are no longer in our life.
 
Our internal victim is addicted to punishment and only through forgiveness, can we move forward, unburdened; no longer carrying that weight.
 
These thoughts for the day are hopefully inspiring you to be different;
to risk letting go of things, people and memories that keep you selfish, needy and a victim.
 
The past is a series of lessons....nothing more...a journey of evolution of the self.
 
Our pasts are just a story; something that happened to force us to get lessons, and grow.
It deserves only review, forgiveness and release..
 
Forgiveness for the  self..
Forgiveness for others...
 
Be grateful for these tough lessons..because in only through the fire of trial are we cleansed, renewed and reborn...
 
Like the Phoenix creating its own death only to rise from the ashes reborn, paying homage to it's former life...
 
Here is the thought for the day-
 
Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner.

Good Morning!
 
For most of us, we can't see our own path as clearly as we can see the path of others.
 
We are amazed that they can't see the barriers and challenges that keep them from Peace, Love and Joy.
 
In my spiritual path, I incorporate many different spiritual philosophies, but that of Our indigenous peoples speaks to me the most.
 
In this philosophy, my reality begins with me, and everyone outside of me is reflecting back to me, like a mirror, my beauty and weaknesses.
 
People, animals, insects, plants, and trees, all offer me a mirror to look into, to apply to my life and how I might see my own illusions that I create.
 
When we can observe others in this way and apply those things to us, we then will find compassion for them as they too struggle through this Earth Walk.
 
We see them as an external Mirror for ourselves, appreciating them, and sometimes seeing behavior that is less than attractive, that we ourselves have done.
 
We develop understanding and love for them because they cannot see clearly.
 
We will no longer be a judge, because they are us.
 
Then, through our example, and learning these lessons, we become teachers of a better way to live.
 
But this change begins with us changing our own perception, our own reality, rather than trying to change those around us.
 
People learn from watching, as they see you make these difficult changes in your own behavior and life, they will be inspired.
 
One day I had a dream and the thought of the day was written in that dream...
I got up and wrote it, verbatim, without correction...
 
Dare to dream,
Dare to have vision,
and  find the courage to look in the mirror of those around you.
 
Here is the thought for the day-
The Mirror of Me

 In a dream I looked into a pool and what I saw was me,

But in a gentler version of what we really see.

 

I was then shown, this pool really does reflect,

Every one I chance to meet, in all things that exist.

 

As I go about my day, do I see the piece of me,

that lives in everyone I meet, in every bird and tree?

 

It’s hard some days to see myself in beggar and in thief,

In Gossip and in Poverty as I pass it on the street.

 

Compassion is the key, how would it be if it was me?

Would I hope to get a smile from everyone I see?

 

Or would I like them to scorn and scold me for my mistake,

and pass me as so many did, leaving judgment in their wake?

 

Since I am a piece of God, and walk the Beauty way,

I must help myself up off the street and give encouragement away.

 

To give a smile.. … You can do It… I can understand,

I can help…what can I do…give a helping hand.

 

For in the ripples of the pool the reflection is You I see.

It’s hard to tell but I now know that you're a part of me.

 

God has a Great Reflecting Pool, and as he looks Within,

In His Great Wisdom sees me inside of Him.

 

He treats me gently like a child, no matter what mistakes I make,

And all He asks in return is that I might do the same.

sign.. sign... everywhere a sign

Good Morning,
As we all grow and evolve on this path, we become aware that there is more going on than meets the eye.
We come out of our daily fog to acknowledge that there are certain coincidences that occur that amaze us.
 
I have many people, like yourself that say, I had this experience... or I saw the weirdest thing.....
Trust me, it's not weird..I've begun to replaced that word with "interesting"....
 
I had a client who came to me rather unraveled from one such experience....
 
He said..I was sitting in my car, at a red light, I was talking to God about how my life was empty, how I wanted and needed a loving partner in my life. I was thinking that I acted like I didn't really care, but God, I do care... and just then, he looked up and there was a truck in front of him that had written across the back "DF CARES"...the companies logo....but DF were his initials...and he saw the message...
He said, I do care!!!
He wanted to know if that was a message......lol
Yes I said it is......
The message is there, all the time, we just have to be willing to have faith....
To trust
To believe...........
To want to hear the answer......
 
Here is the thought for the day
 
And A Meadowlark Sang  Ravindra Kumar Karnani
 
 

"The child whispered, 'God, speak to me'
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, 'God, speak to me!'
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
'God let me see you' and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,
'God show me a miracle!'
And a life was born but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
'Touch me God, and let me know you are here!'
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly."

Angels are watching

Happy New Moon!
 
Just when you think the Universe isn't listening, a messenger arrives.
 
People we meet, who for no other reason than to tell us were special, that we are loved, or just that we are not alone.
 
Once, a long time ago, I had a Little store that sold herbs and teas, smelly soaps and it became a gathering place for people like yourselves who felt the need to connect, some without knowing why.. It was a peaceful place, and I still miss it dearly.
 
During this time, I personally went through life altering changes. from being a new business owner, to motherhood and divorce...each bringing challenges of their own, but all of these came simultaneously.
 
One day, I stood at the counter, and while a client was in the store, I was served with divorce papers. I was not able to contain my emotion, and at that very moment, there was someone ringing the bell, even though the door was open.
 
I went to the door, and there stood the most amazing little white haired woman and her husband, they were less than 4 feet tall, and at least 80+ years old, she had a halo of white hair, and her lipstick was a little out of the edges. Her smiling husband stood silently next to her.
 
I invited her in,but she did not come in, so I stood in the doorway and she said
 "Are you the owner?" I said yes. She said "I heard what a nice person you are and what a darling shop you have, I don't have time to come in today, but I just stopped to meet you and to give you something."  She took my hand, and drew me outside to her, and gave me the most powerful hug I have ever had.
I felt like I was being hugged by God himself; the outpouring of loving energy took my breath away..I was speechless... when she let me go, she said, I'll be back another time" and they turned and walked away.
 
I stood there in disbelief, knowing that I had received a visit from a spiritual being. I went back inside, and my client was standing there, crying.
She said, those people were Angels....
I don't think either of us were the same after that day....
 
Remember, that all is never lost.
Angels are everywhere, sometimes even disguised as Grandmas and Grandpas...on a mission of Love.....
 
Here is the thought for the day:
 
Angels do find us in our hour of need.

Celebrate the joy of Life

Today, I celebrate......
 
The dawning of a new day
The love of my child
My family
The gifts that my parents gave me
The blessing of sisters and brothers
The friends in my life
The acquaintances I have made
Laughter
Tears
Work
Joy
Peace
Love
 
Please....stop and find reasons to be grateful today.
 
Here is the thought for the day
 
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back,a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of the world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 80 percent of the worlds wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

Life is but a dream

Happy Monday!
As the new moon approaches, on Sept 22, we will also celebrate fall equinox on the 23rd...
There is also a full solar eclipse on the 22nd. During that time it will be best viewed from South America. 
 
This will be a great time for new beginnings, planning and creating new things.
Out with the old and in with the new.
 
Fall is a time of harvest, to reap what has been sown.
A time of bounty
 
Lets look at what has been sown in your own life and reap the benefits.
If you planted sparsely, (in life) it is time to create what you want.
 
There is no wrong time to make positive changes.
Take the abundant life that the Universe provides, create the dream.
 
Thought for the day
 
Row..Row..  Row.. Your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily ...Merrily ...Merrily ...Merrily
For life is but a Dream.
 
 
Namaste,

Soul Mates

Greetings,
 
Soul mates.....
I have found our soul mates are the souls that we are destined to meet on this plane.
Those who provide the most impact in this existence for us and them.
 
Our soul mates are not necessarily the passionate lovers that we long for and search for in this life.
Our soul mates are sometimes, those souls that challenge us the most.
Those that bring us the most powerful lessons.
Forcing us to make peace with them in this Earth walk, in order to learn more about ourselves.
They impact our lives so purposefully that they alter its course.
Good and bad
Right and wrong
Better or worse
Richer and poorer
Sickness and health
and truly
Till death do us part.
 
I dedicate this thought for the day to my soul mate,
Who is a constant reminder of who I am,
Who I was,
Who I have become,
And who I am yet to be.
Thank you.
 
Here is the thought for the day....
 
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours
- it is an amazing journey -
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.

Its all in the detail...

Good Morning!
 
Being a Pisces..(that already says a lot!)  life's little details are the hardest part of being human for me and are the most debilitating. (not that it's an excuse!)
 
Getting the garbage out..just as the truck gets to my house.....
Taking something out for dinner to thaw....at 4pm.......
Having the tire that I bought mounted and put on the car.....
Letters to mail....
Bills
Repairing my garage before it collapses
(can I squeak out one more winter???)..
Home repairs (are you turning on the cold water with vise grips??)
Clutter/organization
 
A mentor of mine (Harry- who now walks the Blue Road of Spirit) once made me a round cardboard disc that had the word TUIT written on it, and he ceremoniously gave it to me one day..
When I asked what it was, he said;
Well, so much of your day Marianne is spent wishing for enough time to get a round to it, I am giving you a priceless gift...
A round TUIT....now you have no excuse....
 
These untied ends are a source of angst disrupting the flow of energy...
running like a loop in our head, over and over.....
 
These are the barriers that keep us from seeing the goal, the big picture, so much energy invested in the insignificant details, it disrupts the dream....
 
This swirling vortex creates food for the inner judge, which adds guilt, which makes the process even slower...
 
My solution:
*Make your own Round TUIT and proudlydisplay it where you willsee it  everyday- or gift it to a friend...
*Smudge the space- to negate the energy...(using smoke, or salt water)
*Make lists....get it out of your head, into the physical....
*Tackle one thing at a time even if it seems insignificant..
*The more emotion associated with a task puts it on the top of the list..
*Pretend I am doing it for someone else....which removes the emotion and guilt..
*Keep a spiritual eye on the human duty.
 
Thanks also must go to My sister the Aries..who taught me about removing the emotion that we associate with these things and the art of lists...
patient and firm..she is a genuine angel sent to me.
 
It's life's little details that make this a pleasure cruise or the Titanic..
Its how we respond that matters...
 
Make your own list, and take it one thing at a time,
the sense of accomplishment makes all the difference in the world.
 
Oh... and less to do tomorrow...lol
 
Here is the thought for the day-
 
To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face;
to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains;
to approach my work with a clean mind;
to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things,
the ultimate purpose toward which I am working;
to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart;
to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours;
to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep
and the joy that comes from work well done -
This is how I desire to waste wisely my days.

A spirit filled day....

Good Morning,
I am happy to have new villagers with us today.
I am hoping they will be inspired by my random thoughts for the day as a way to bring a spiritual focus to their lives.
 
As we leave the full moon it is a time of rest after the high energy that we all probably felt last week.
As the moon wanes, make lists and things to think about as the new moon will approach in the next week and a half.
 
It is easy to get overwhelmed by the things that arise daily.
The key to a spiritual life is understanding that things are not happening to you...
they are just happening.
Give time to be still...present...and grateful..
Remember that you are a sprit, just experiencing life, learning, teaching and loving.
 
See your day, as a child..full of wonder at the little things..
Color, draw, tell a joke, let your inner child out to play...
 
Not an easy task for us grown ups..
 
Have an awesome day..

Here is the thought for the day
 
I'm not very good
At this Game called Life
For I've not learned to see children crying
Without feeling pain
For I've not learned to watch animals destroyed
Without wondering why
For I've not yet met a king or a celebrity
That I would bow down to
Or a man so insignificant
That I would use for a stepping-stone
For I've not learned to be a 'yes man'
To narrow minded bosses
Who quote rules without reason
And I'venot learned to manipulate
The feelings of others
To be used for my own advantages
Then cast aside as I see fit
No, I'm not very good
At this Game called Life
And if everything goes well
Maybe I never will be

My prayer to the Universe

Good Morning!
 
My Prayer to the Universe
 
Oh Great Spirit,
I am just a woman with hopes and dreams and fears.
Help me to find myself in everyone I meet today.
Guide my words to help another heal.
Allow my vision to find the beauty that surrounds me
and the blessings that are in my life
Bring our world peace, and let me be the pebble in the water
whose ripples will spread far and wide.
Help me to  listen to my children,
for Your voice is theirs and they speak the truth.
I honor you with my day, and I go forth to show the world your love.
Namaste,
Marianne Goldweber

Good Morning
Well, the full moon will be upon us tomorrow,
time to bring all those best laid plans into fruition.
 
In planning for  life change, it surfaces a myriad of feelings
from fear and angst to excitement and joy.
 
It is important to give all of these feelings a voice,
Feel the fear, and walk through it
Feel the angst and walk through it
Feel is the excitement and walk through it
Feel is the joy and walk through it
 
Then we can move forward, knowing that the process is being honored, confident that although we may not always know what the outcome
will be it will definitely be an interesting ride because
I have the steering wheel but the Universe provides the scenery and the gas stations along the way.
 
Plans for the retreat are under way... Prepare to be excited......
 
Here is the thought for the day!
 
If there's something special you want to do, now is the time...
if you want to make a difference in the world, now is the time.
Don't be fooled into thinking you should wait until
you are older or wiser or more 'secure' - because it doesn't work that way.
The wisdom will come.
The security will come.
But first you must begin your adventure.

Ron Atchison
