I have finished the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, as it says it all about omens/coincidences, these are the signals to follow in life and I realise that after years of calling myself a cosmic alchemist I am that ...."That's what alchemists do. They show that when we strive to become better than we are are, everything around us becomes better too". Now I want to read all of his books looks like a trip to Amazon :) also due to a comment left on my blog - thank you aart hilal - I have found and bookmarked the blog of Paulo.......

I was invited to group called how to stay positive in a negative world.......mmmmmmmmmm........answer stop seeing the world as negative LOL , OK maybe some of the people are a bit dour, but ahhhh this beautiful planet it could never be described as negative, it is the beauty of this planet/universe and it's inhabitants that will bring smiles to our faces and peace to our hearts......

The Bridge ~ Step 8 ~ Staying Uplifted

Oftentimes things may be happening all around you that seem to be discordant, and you cannot imagine what is going on. But you must remain focused and steadfast and be able to see through and not get caught up in the mundane dramas that are constantly being perpetuated on this planet.

I have good friends who live way out in the desert in order to get away from everything. Like a lot of people nowadays, the husband is obsessed with disasters and potential catastrophes. In fact, he even has a cave on his land stocked with enough survival goodies to feed and water a small town. I lived with my friends for a few months the winter before last, and everyday, as we worked together, the husband would talk about last night's Art Bell radio show, and he even taped the most frightening shows so that I could listen to them later in the day.

Now . . . I was having some health challenges when I arrived at their place, and over a period of the next couple of months I felt my energy level going down and down. My physical discomfort was getting worse by the day.

Finally, one morning I asked my inner guidance what was going on, and the answer I receive was very helpful. I was told that the next time the husband approached me with the latest disaster rumors to tell him, "My friend, I know that you mean well for me, but I have to ask you to hold off on these scary stories of yours. You see, it's my job to stay uplifted, no matter what. Your stories are enticing, however they tend to bring my energy level down. I need to stay up if I'm going to do the work that I came here to do." To make a long story short, he began to honor my request right away, and in a very short time my health and energy level shot back up to normal.

And that's the message for all of us who truly care about the well-being of humanity. It's like a resume for us, so that when anyone asks us what our job is we can say "It's my job to stay uplifted, regardless of all the crazy things that are going on around me. In fact, I've come to understand that if everyone buys into the disaster mindset and nobody guards their energy level, then we will all be down wallowing in the swamplands. Some of us have to stay uplifted, and that's what I'm here to do!"

My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am staying uplifted and doing what I came here to do.

Woman
Embracing Womanhood

There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed.

When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future.

Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world.

Insight is a phenomenal gift. It gives you the ability to function in this world of illusion. All of you are having a collective “dream” of sorts. This is why you are accepting what you see as reality. You buy into this simply by being present. It was your wish to believe that you are separate in order to “play out” your preselected dramas. You have the ability to transcend all of this if you so choose.

Why not accept the fact that you are Godlike. You are creating this planet and all that transpires here by being here and buying into this illusion. It can be different. You can have a different experience here if you will wake up to the fact that you are the ones who are creating your world of illusion.

This gives you all great power. It is then for you to decide what you will have here and what will transpire over time. When you realize that it is up to you, that will begin a change reaction that will multiply it’s effects over time.

It is a choice. A conscious effort that will begin this process. Simply ready yourself by being present in every moment of everyday. Begin by honouring yourself through LOVE and ACCEPTANCE of Self.

This is the way of transformation and this can change everything as you see it. Once you have accepted the fact that you are the ones who are creating this reality that you are living, you can also choose another path. Another way of BEING on this planet Earth.

The choice is yours.

Namaste and Love,
