Sunday Morning Prayers-#64. Resistance, Ego, Pride -the Disconnect to “Great Spirit”!

We can never fully disconnect completely from
“Great Spirit”!

Dear “Great Spirit”,

We get so absorbed in ourselves and how we think we are in control with everything in our life expression, that we allow resistance, our ego, and our pridefulness to take over.  We push our interconnection with thee “Great Spirit” to the side, thinking we know everything and are not in need of your love and attention in our life.  We could not be more wrong.  Many times, we get caught up in being so resistant to things that are meant to bless our lives that we miss the message and that these blessings are direct gifts that “Great Spirit “is trying to shower us with. 

We get so full of ourselves that it puts a distance between us and our blessings.  We have got to work through the need to let our pride and ego prevent us from using our gift of discernment to evaluate if we are in a state of resistance to being resistant of letting go of control!  We need your engagement in our lives “Great Spirit”.  We need to know when it is and is not appropriate for us to resist things in life.  We need to know when our ego is running the show and is not in our best interest.  We need to know when our pride is impacting the beauty and light of our divine identity”!  We need to make sure that our connection with thee is intact and is a central part of our life experience so that we are in alignment with thee, and that we are grounded so profoundly in our relationship with thee that we live the life you designed for us. 

Ashé!   Ashé!! Ashé!!! Amen!!!!

I’m Just Sayin- Notes from Beth #76 No, No, No, No. No! The Founding Fathers in Our Country Were Very Intentional About -Separation of Church and State! Somebody Done Lost Their Mind!

We can’t make any sense of what is going on in this country!
Everything is out of our control and out of “Great Spirit’s” divine right order.
It’s a Mess!

I cannot believe that the State of Louisiana has mandated that every classroom in the public school system from Kindergarten through the University level must post a poster size copy of the Ten Commandments.  I can’t believe in this day and age in our so-called democratic society that we are slowly but surely walking backwards all the progress we have made to evolve as a country and a society. Conservative elements that want to control every aspect of our lives are rescinding all of the laws and policies that went into place to make our citizenry and our country free and self-sustaining.  Our rights and privileges are being violated and ignored. 

Those that think they are in power are under the illusion that we will remain uneducated and ignorant so that they have free run on doing whatever they want so as to control our lives and the quality of our lives.  There is no need to post the Ten Commandments in our public schools!  We are not a Christian country, we are a country of diverse religions, ideologies, ethnicities, cultures, and have as a guarantee of our Constitution to have freedom of religious beliefs.  We cannot exclude children in a classroom environment and demand that they abide by one sector of our citizen’s beliefs.  We are a democratic system of government that has been formulated to protect our rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  We do however have a responsibility to teach our children ethics, civic responsibility, compassion, respect for self and others, active listening to others, compromise, the importance of justice, and the value and gift of living in a Democratic society.

We have a responsibility to teach children the importance and value of living a life of gratitude.  There are basic attributes that we as their elders have a duty to teach them and nurture in them so that they become contributing adults that demonstrate a concern for the welfare of others in an effort to attain a sustainable humanity in which everyone has an opportunity to thrive not just survive.  We should be teaching civics and civility.  But to take the Ten Commandments as they are written and impose them on young children and think that by middle school through college, students are going to adhere to another religion’s doctrine, that is not going to happen in this country- This is wrong on so many levels.  I hope people wake up and come to their senses. 

These posters belong in religious institutions that are in alignment with this belief system.  I see what is happening in this country and we are in unchartered waters and at risk at drowning in stupidity and mind control to keep us dumbed down, illiterate, numb, apathic, void of discernment and critical thinking skills. Wake up America! Wake up!  Too much pain, sacrifice, and genius went into the creation of our Constitution to allow an element of self-interest and greed to demolish it with the support of the dysfunctional Supreme Court.

Sunday Morning Prayers-#31 The Mind and Heart of Discernment that Protects Our Soul’s Expression!

Always tune into the still quiet voice that resides in your soul!
It will never fail you if you stay in tune with your gift of discernment.        

“Great Spirit”,

Bless us on our divine life’s journey as we try to navigate this world and our ever-evolving life style that usually requires us to surrender all to thee!  We are compelled to rely on our gift of discernment.  We have to be cognizant of our actions and the actions and engagements we have with others.  We need to be sensitive and aware of what is and is not good for our best interest so that we make the right decisions, engage with people that enhance and enrich our life experiences in contrast to people that would have us do things that are not in alignment with our divine identity and divine purpose.  We have a responsibility to look at situations, people and environments, and assess what is appropriate for our well-being.  There are situations and people that can alter the divine plan or path of our life. 

We need to be discerning and love and respect ourselves enough that we make good choices.  The operative words and actions to remember are discernment and choices.  We are gifted discernment, and we mature into our ability to make choices for ourselves.  We have a choice in our choices.  “Great Spirit”, support us in tapping into our ability to use our discernment.  Support us in listening to your still quiet voice that speaks to our soul.  Call us into the quietness of your presence so that we have the time and space to listen and obey. Incline thine ear to us and grant us thy peace!  Ashe! Ashe! Ashe!

Sunday Morning Prayers-#26 Embarking on the Promise of “New Beginnings”! Setting Our Intentions for the New Year- Family First

Shifting through the corners of our mind, we need to establish in our intentions for our life experience those things in our life that give us meaning, fulfillment, joy, peace, and love.

Dear “Great Spirit”,

I really feel, as I navigate through the cinders of this “new illusional reality” that has been crafted for us, that it is important for each of us to awaken to the understanding that we can live our life “in the world” and not be “of this new world order”.  I feel that humanity is engaged in a “spiritual birthing process” so that we survive the current “spiritual warfare” that has consumed so many corners of the world, our governmental leaders and their policies, and most dangerously, “our families”.  We know that the last horizon to impact the structure and functionality of humanity, is to dismantle the elements that hold our family units together.

We are called to be on “high alert” to protect the sanctity, relevance, attachment, love and respect for our family as a whole, and for each member of our family. We realize that nothing in life is by coincidence, but has been created by divine design, and if anything demonstrates this principle it is the “family unit”. It really is not about how functional or dysfunctional a family is, because the dynamics of a family unit does not come with a architectural design, but it does come with a spiritual purpose.  The characters in each family’s unit-tribe- are created by divine design.  It brings together the unique characters that create the storyline for the legacy of that family, from generation to generation. 

Challenges will be presented, and because we are a family-tribe, we have the ability to resolve, solve, and overcome whatever we are faced with.  The keys are love, patience, faith in you “Great Spirit”, and the ability to grasp that no matter how the world tries to destroy and dismantle our families, ultimately, “Great Spirit” is in charge.  We have to invest the time, we have to invest the faith, we have to utilize the tools of non-judgement, unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace.  If we look in the tool belt that “Great Spirit” endowed us with, there is really no way the world will be get the upper hand in this battle for the souls in our families. 

“Great Spirit”, I often think of those families that are faced with real challenges such as living in a war zone, countries that are not caring for their homeless, those families that don’t have health care, food, clothing, education, surrounded by neighborhoods entrenched in crime, and I have to admit our grateful I am and how fortunate I am.  So “Great Spirit” I am asking you to support us in protecting, healing, guiding, providing for all of our families so that the world of this “illusional reality” is never able to infiltrate our families and damage our tribe as a whole or any of the members of our family-tribe”.

We know that protecting the sacred fabric of our family is not ease, and that sometimes we have to “release and let go”, but we know that when we do we are releasing the challenge in good hands- “Great Spirit” -Cause “Great Spirit” always has our backs!

With “Great Spirit” in the mix, all things are possible!

Ashe! Ashe! Ashe! Amen!
