Thank
you for visiting this website. If you have been “in-lightened”
by any information on this site…it has served its
purpose. There are so many wonderful writers over the millenniums
that have concisely articulated the feelings of spiritual
awareness. I have gathered information from different writers
through the centuries and hopefully syncopated or melded
their hypothesizes, theories, experiences and visions to
this date. Finding thoughts, words, phrases and beliefs
that bring forth your joy is the wonderful process of learning,
growing and experiencing. Wisdom has no chronological measurement…finding
yours may come in a bolt of lightning or it may slowly permeate
through you throughout your journey. One thing is for certain:
it surrounds you always.
The
following are some of my favorites and you will find more
from the webpage of Excerpts from the book. 
“I
was very fortunate to work in an environment that educated
me at a young age to benefit from the knowledge of my elders.
I worked several years in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
These survivors of cardio-impairments would share and bestow
their wisdom upon me. Some would mention that if they could
do it all over again, they would enjoy their youthful days
more—slow down and smell the roses. They would enjoy
their relationships more. Try a different career. Spend
more time with their children. Nurture the significant individuals
in their life. Definitely stop chasing Mr. Green Backs.
But the most consistent variable, the most important common
denominator, was their wish to have simply “enjoyed
life more”." -Pg. 6
“When
there is freedom, rather than being forced to abstain from
an object, the mind/body will eventually progress towards
a more balanced and healthy alternative.”…..”A
great author and genuine kind human being, Gerald G. Jampolsky,
author of “Love Is Letting Go Of Fear”, quoted
from the “Course in Miracle”, “Forgiveness
is the key to happiness”. Learning to forgive yourself
for your misperceptions and embracing what you thought was
unforgivable, will allow you to have a joyous and wonderful
life.”….”Knowing that I have a tendency
to misperceive allows me to have the compassion to forgive
myself and, in turn, I understand that others also have
this tendency to misperceive and it makes it easy for me
to have compassion for them. When I am cognoscente and proceed
with love, the person or situation opens up as though it
were petals opening from a flower and I am able to share
in their beauty. If I had the ability to travel in their
shoes, and live through their situations in life, I may
perceive it the same way. It reinforces the familiar adage;
“people are only strange when I am a stranger.”
Shirley MacLaine added: “The more I traveled the more
I realize that fear makes strangers of people who should
be friends”….”You will always be able
to recognize—Love. As Mother Theresa stated: “We
do not do great things, only small things with great love.”
-Pg. 44-45
VIEWING
LIFE AS THOUGH IT WERE A MOVIE
"We
can address this from a scientific perspective, or we can
address it from an artistic view. By indulging myself in
the theory that life is just a movie and I have come to
participate in it, I needed to address a few questions.
Is there a supreme being, a God, if you will? A scholar
who described the theory said, “the God could
be a singular entity or a collective consciousness.”
He went on to say: “this God has great love
and understanding, of which we are always a part of, and
grants us anything we could imagine. We are only asked to
return that love, as children return to their parents for
comfort and joy. There is no demand to return the love,
but an awakening by choice to return the love to be a part
of God again.”….The theory included that
our imagination and creativity allow us to create whatever
we choose. We have an option to travel to this planet and
live by its simple rules. The theory goes on to say that
we pay an admission and then participate/observe the movie
pre-written for us. God and you chose to write a fascinating
story that would encompass all the attributes and sensations
of the human experience. Remember, this was done out of
free will. You can leave any time you choose, or you can
enjoy what was written for you to experience. It is as though
you paid your admission to the theatre and you are watching
a movie on the screen that you selected. You have the open
to leave the theatre at any time. For me, I already paid
my admission, bought the popcorn and beverage, found an
excellent seat and have come with several friends to enjoy
the movie together. At times I wonder where the movie is
going, why these characters are in this particular scene,
and then, through patience, it all makes sense for the story
line to continue.” -Pg. 16-17
“They
appreciate the fact that the movie is going to go on with
or without their cooperation. Their responsibility is to
either gently row with the current or paddle against it.
Once they have found the techniques to balance their day-to-day
activities and enjoy the journey, life becomes quite a spectacular
event. The movie will be over before you know it.”
-Pg. 26
