Je dis juste-Notes de Beth                                 #102                                                                     Malgré la dévastation, l’humanité se montre à la hauteur de l’occasion ! Que chacun s’en serve !!  -Français

Femmes d’esprit compatissant
Conversations initiées par le biais de « Great Spirit » !

Je suis tellement heureux et reconnaissant que les gens tendent la main pour soutenir les personnes et les familles qui sont englouties dans la dévastation de l’événement tragique et bouleversant des incendies en Californie qui ravagent actuellement le comté de Los Angeles.  Juste au moment où vous pensez que l’humanité est à son pire, une lumière d’amour et de compassion pousse à travers le labyrinthe de l’imperfection humaine et du libre arbitre pour causer de la douleur et de l’inconfort aux autres à cause de leur narcissisme et de leur intérêt personnel.  Je suis témoin d’actes intentionnels de gentillesse et de générosité de la part de personnes de tous les horizons.  Les gens sont prêts à partager de leurs propres ressources sous forme de vêtements, de nourriture, de logement, d’argent et de tout ce qu’il faut pour aider les gens à rétablir leur vie et à ramener la paix et la sécurité dans leurs familles.  J’ose dire que la plupart d’entre nous connaissent quelqu’un dans notre famille ou parmi nos amis qui a été touché par cette tragédie ! Ma famille a agrandi sa maison pour accueillir une personne qui avait été évacuée de l’incendie d’Hollywood qui s’est déclaré la nuit dernière. 

Je sais que traditionnellement, il semble que ce soit un instinct inné dans notre conception humaine de « se montrer à la hauteur lorsque nous avons besoin les uns des autres », mais avec tout ce qui se passe dans notre monde et, dans notre pays, en ce moment, il est si important pour nous de nous accrocher et d’exercer notre nature d’être empathique et compatissant envers ceux d’entre nous qui sont dans le besoin.  C’est un cadeau et une opportunité pour nous de grandir dans notre évolution spirituelle lorsque nous sommes capables de sortir de nous-mêmes et de nous soucier des autres et pour les autres.  Donner et être ouvert à recevoir est un chemin de foi et de confiance.  Nous devons donner inconditionnellement, et nous devons avoir confiance que ceux qui nous apportent leur soutien le font dans un intérêt authentique et sincère pour notre bien-être.  Donner et recevoir doit provenir d’un « espace du cœur » et y répondre ! 

Je suis tellement encouragé de voir comment les gens chez nous, dans notre pays et au-delà des frontières de notre pays, viennent à notre aide.  Je ressens un sentiment d’espoir et de rajeunissement de notre esprit humain pour que la bonne volonté imprègne les murs de la tromperie et de la peur qui tentent de changer le paysage évolué et juste que nous avons tissé la compassion, la dignité, la justice, l’égalité, la diversité, dans le tissu de notre pays du don de la vie, de la liberté et de la poursuite du bonheur.  En dépit de ce que nous pourrions voir dans l’agenda politique de notre prochaine administration, nous avançons vers un avenir dynamique et progressiste.

Sinasabi Ko Lang ang mga Tala mula sa Beth #102 Sa kabila ng pinsala, ang Sangkatauhan ay Tumataas sa Okasyon! Bawat isa ay tumulong sa isa!!  -Pilipino

Mga Babaeng May Mahabaging Espiritu
Mga pag-uusap na sinimulan Sa pamamagitan ng “Dakilang Espiritu”!

Ako ay sobrang masaya at nagpapasalamat na ang mga tao ay umaabot upang suportahan ang mga tao at pamilya na nababalot sa pagkawasak ng trahedya at buhay na pagkuha ng kaganapan ng mga sunog sa California na kasalukuyang natupok ng Los Angeles County.  Lamang kapag iniisip mo na ang sangkatauhan ay nasa mas masahol pa, ang isang liwanag ng pag ibig at habag ay nagtutulak sa pamamagitan ng maze ng pagiging di perpekto ng tao at malayang kalooban upang maging sanhi ng sakit at kakulangan sa ginhawa sa iba dahil sa kanilang narcissism at sariling interes.  Nasasaksihan ko ang sinasadyang mga gawa ng kabaitan at kagandahang loob mula sa mga tao na nagmumula sa lahat ng larangan ng buhay.  Ang mga tao ay handang magbahagi mula sa kanilang sariling mga mapagkukunan sa paraan ng damit, pagkain, tirahan, pera, at kung ano pa man ang kinakailangan upang matulungan ang mga tao na maibalik ang kanilang buhay at ibalik ang kapayapaan at seguridad sa kanilang pamilya.  Nangangahas akong sabihin na karamihan sa atin ay may kilala sa ating pamilya o sa ating mga kaibigan na naapektuhan ng trahedyang ito! Ang aking pamilya ay pinalawig ang kanilang bahay sa isang tao na lumikas mula sa sunog sa Hollywood na sumiklab kagabi. 

Alam ko na ayon sa kaugalian ay tila isang likas na likas na ugali sa ating disenyo ng tao na “bumangon sa okasyon na kailangan natin ang isa’t isa”, ngunit sa lahat ng nangyayari I ang ating mundo at, sa ating bansa, sa ngayon, napakahalaga para sa atin na mahigpit na kumapit at gamitin ang ating kalikasan upang maging empathic at mahabagin sa mga nangangailangan sa atin.  Ito ay isang kaloob at pagkakataon para sa atin na lumago sa ating espirituwal na ebolusyon kapag nagawa nating lumabas sa ating sarili at magmalasakit at para sa ibang tao.  Ang pagbibigay at pagiging bukas sa pagtanggap ay isang lakad ng pananampalataya at tiwala.  Kailangan nating magbigay nang walang kondisyon, at dapat tayong magtiwala na ang mga nagbibigay sa atin ng kanilang suporta ay ginagawa ito mula sa isang tunay at tunay na interes sa ating kapakanan.  Ang pagbibigay at pagtanggap ay dapat magmula at tumugon mula sa “heart space”! 

Lubos akong nahihikayat na makita kung paano ang mga tao sa bahay sa ating bansa at sa kabila ng mga hangganan ng ating bansa ay tumutulong sa atin.  Nararamdaman ko ang pag asa at pagpapabata ng ating diwang pantao para sa mabuting kalooban na tumagos sa mga pader ng panlilinlang at takot na nagsisikap na baguhin ang umuunlad at matuwid na tanawin na pinagtagpi tagpi natin ang habag, dignidad, katarungan, pagkakapantay pantay, pagkakaiba iba, sa tela ng ating bansa na kaloob ng buhay, kalayaan, at paghahangad ng kaligayahan.  Sa kabila ng maaaring masaksihan natin sa political agenda sa ating forth coming administration, sumusulong tayo sa kinabukasang masigla at progresibo.

Sunday Morning Prayers #49 If it is true that all there really is -is Love-and that only through being able to love one another, can the elements of “Love” which are respect, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, are we able to sustain humanity and manifest the world we want to live in.

Children intuitive in their natural self, are kind, compassionate, and don’t hold on to things that are not “nice” to them because they are “pure love”.

“Great Spirit”,

We know if we are honest with ourselves that you created us in love to love and be love. We know that all that moves and sustains the planet and humanity is “love”. It is amazing how complicated we make our relationships with each other and how we struggle to contain our egos so that we can allow ourselves to love first you “Great Spirit”, then ourselves, our family, friends, and then to be able to embrace our connection to humanity. We have difficulty relinquishing our sense of control so that many times we strike out in defense and consequently, we come at people from a pain body instead of love. When we do this “Great Spirit”, we are not acting from a place of love, but from a place of fear.

We pray “Great Spirit” that you will guide us to a practice of releasing the “Rackets” that hold us back from being the light of love, respectfulness, kindness, compassion, and the ability to forgive ourselves and to be able to forgive others. We want to be all you designed us to be because if we are we can be as a collective the vibration that will uplift the world so that your vision and dream for us and this planet will come to fruition.

We thank you “Great Spirit”, for loving us so unconditionally and eternally.

Ashe!  Ashe! Ashe!  Amen!

I’m Just Sayin- Notes from Beth #75 I Believe in Grace and Mercy, but I have My Limits When People Start to Defame the Character of “Christ”-This is ‘Blasphemy”!

Bring us back to our right minds “Great Spirit”!

Blasphemy, in a religious sense, refers to the great disrespect shown to God or to something holy, or to something said or done that shows this kind of disrespect: heresy refers a belief or opinion that does not agree with the official belief or opinion of a particular religion- credit -Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

To begin with, Jesus Christ was brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor by the authorities in Roman Judea for execution on charges of blasphemy for being called “the King of the Jews”.  Pontius Pilate had the authority to have Jesus put to death.  I think Pontius Pilate instinctually knew that Jesus was “special in the human experience” and did not want to crucify Jesus, so he handed the decision back to the people who were mesmerized by those that were threatened by the spiritual power that Jesus was endowed with. Pontius Piolet gave the angry crowds of people a choice of either saving a thief or Jesus, and as we know historically the crowd told him to save the thief.  Be clear, Jesus cannot be put in the same category as a “convicted felon “!  In fact, no one should claim to be in the same spiritual category as Jesus!  It absolutely blows my mind to hear people like Marjorie Green liken Christ as a felon to Trump.  This goes beyond my ability to be patient, bestow grace or mercy.  This is a direct afront to not only “Christ”, but to “Great Spirit”.  The life and significance of Jesus goes way beyond the confines of a religious confine!  Christ was and is part of the great plan of “Great Spirit” to bring peace not discord, love not hate, compassion not arrogance, wisdom not insolence, discernment not for us to be obtuse of purblind. 

I am not at all happy with the way we are engaging in this country, and across the world.  We have in our human condition allowed ourselves to be swept up into lies, deceit, judgment, conditional love, void of compassion, greed, selfishness, cons, and the worst of all allowing the sacredness of “Great Spirit’s” gift to humanity- Jesus Christ to be once again hit with blasphemy and inuendoes of being an element of criminal character. We need to call people out when they do this because if don’t, then we have abandoned our responsibility for the sanctity of our faith and belief in the purpose of Christ life.  We will have proved ourselves ungrateful and unworthy of the sacrifices He made to make this world what “Great Spirit” intended.  It is not about being Christian or any other institutional system of religion.  It is about the principles that Christ stood for that would make us a space to be the best possible version of our own “divine identity”. 

This madness has to stop!  We can’t keep allowing this misinformation and degradation of all that we know that sustains humanity to demise to complete destruction!  Speak Up people! I don’t profess to be a theologian, but I know that they have no idea who they are dealing with.  This is not about the God of the New Testament, this is about the God of the Old Testament, and that is a wholly different experience. Talk about judgment! From what I have read and understand, God of the Old Testament does not play!  If I did not speak out about my convictions then I too would be complicit to this blasphemy on the character and divinity of Christ’s life and “work” to be a servant in the service of humanity.

Sunday Morning Prayers #47 The Authentic Life Lived as Your Authentic Self.

It is amazing how authentic children are!
When and how do we lose our ability as adults to be authentically who we are?

Dear Great Spirit,

I don’t know how you handle us losing or forgetting who you designed us to be as authentic divine beings.  Our authentic divine being is so structured to allow us to navigate life and our life experiences with such tenacity of honesty, integrity, passion, compassion, love, and beauty that we bless the lives of those we not only hold dear, but everyone we encounter and engage with.  We are meant to be walking, talking, vibrations of love, peace and understanding of what we need and what others need to feel loved, honored, respected, and worthy.  We are all worthy of receiving the best of what life has in store for us. 

We are born through your love “Great Spirit”, and you created us equally.  Not one of us is more “worthy” of what is beautiful and wonderful that the gift of life holds for each of us.  We don’t have to assume an identity that does not fit us.  We don’t have to act outside the fabric of our true identity to take on worldly elements that causes pain and discomfort to others. This negative behavior causes us to leave the light of our spiritual connection we thee.  This sacred connection with thee is the core of who we are. 

Making others wrong, small, and feeling unworthy, does not in any way elevate our soul’s development.  Resorting to telling untruths on other people to make ourselves right or to justify trying to manipulate circumstances in our favor or to benefit us in anyway is damaging to the sanctity of our soul.  This is not who you created us to be “Great Spirit”, and we are so desperately, those of us that are cultivating this eternal vibrational connection to you, are seeking to have and sustain. 

We want to live as our authentic divine selves.  We want to be loving, kind, honest, and gentle to others.  We want to stay fixed in your Holy light of protection and grace.  We are not perfect!  You did not design us to be perfect because you wanted to see us grow in light and love.  Please walk with us and talk with us along this life’s journey so that we might stay the course and fulfill our purpose and enrich the beauty and majesty of our soul.  We know in our heart of hearts that what we sow so shall we reap. Keep us close “Great Spirit”! Keep us close! 

Ashe!  Ashe! Ashe! Amen!

P.S. I know it seems that there is a thread of consciousness around the importance of our “Divine Identities” in all my different categories of blogs, but “Great Spirit” keeps calling my attention to this topic so I think there is a universal message for a “Call to Action” on our part at this time in consideration to the state of our world affairs and who we are showing up as in our human condition.

Sunday Morning Prayers #44 Our Children Do not Belong to Just Us!  Our Children are the Divine Design of Great Spirit and We Have Been Given Them as a Gift!

Children are the most miraculous and precious gift given to humanity.

Great Spirit,

This prayer is coming directly from my soul.  I know you know how important children are to me the very thought of how some of the children in our world are desperately trying to endure hunger, war, loss of family, loss of home, and lack of medical attention, griefs my soul.  Thinking about the children in our country, although they are not on the same kind of battle ground, they are still fighting to survive the chaos and confusion of our dysfunctional society. They need so much than what we are offering our children on a global level.  Children deserve so much more from us.  Children should not be caught up in the experience of adults battling their egos for power, greed, and superiority!  We have not done what we know you expect of us! We know that we are not holding ourselves accountable and that we have not prioritized our children and have not acknowledged that “children are a divine gift”!

Lay on our hearts “Great Spirit” the consciousness to go forth into the world and be the change agents that our children need us to be.  Empower us! Ignite us!  Guide us!  Protect us!  Open the flood gates to impact the world and heal the pain that children are engulfed in.  Lighten their burdens!  Lighten their hearts!  Fill their souls with faith and hope.  Give them the vision that they will be delivered from a chaotic upside-down world and that they will be delivered into the world that you created for them “in the beginning”.  Let them feel your love!  Let them see their future in the divine design that will be manifested.  Stay close to them “Great Spirit” because they need to relate to you “spirit” to “Spirit”!  Lead us “Great Spirit” on this pilgrimage to save our children!

Sunday Morning Prayers-#38. Peace Must Abide in Each of Us If there is to Peace on Earth!

The earth deserves more from us!
Like the creation of humanity, it was gifted to us to
provide us with all the resources to sustain our lives. 
It thrives in peace and implodes when abused and taken advantage of.

Dear “Great Spirit”,

How do we begin to ask for grace and mercy for losing our way and our promise to live life in our “divine identity”?  We have forgotten about the beauty and intelligence that you gifted us with to love one another and to be guardians of this magnificent planet!  Welding up in so many of us is the urgency to find peace and share that “peace that surpassed all understanding” with one another.  The peace that so many of us a desire to live our lives with and through. 

We need that sense of peace to navigate all the uncertainties that life can present us with.  We need that peace to protect our minds, bodies and spirits from disease and pain.  We need that peace to parent our children so that they too can live a healthy and rewarding life.  We need that peace to vibrate across this planet so that people come to a realization, that they are “their brothers and sisters’ keepers”!  We need that peace to “call in righteousness and justice to dissuade people from the temptation of warring against each other.  We need that peace so that our creative gifts can flourish and enhance the beauty and integrity of what it is to be human. We need that peace to awaken within each being their authentic soul’s expression that will bring us back to thee ‘Great Spirit”.  We need your peace “Great Spirit” that peace that is innate to having a relationship with you.  You are the Alpha and the Omega of our existence, and without the tenderness and purity of that relationship, we will never experience that “peace” -that missing piece-we are seeking!

Ashe!  Ashe!  Ashe!  Amen!
