Good Morning Everyone!!
Tis the day after Easter and it is sunny, green, and beautiful outside...though it looks a bit windy and it isn't as warm as it looks out there. Sometimes looks are deceiving and of course, I could imagine it were warmer and milder...and it sort of would be in a way, right?
I woke up this morning with a source of inspiration (much like I do every day) if I listen. Today, the message I got was one about "worry."...what it is and what it is not. I hurried, logged on to my Facebook page, and posted it (as I wanted to share it with others, while at the same time, documenting it, so I wouldn't forget it.) Here it is: "Worry has neither the power to predict or change, and the more you do anything, the better you get at it..so what exactly does worry perfect---nothing but the art of it. Dream instead, for this holds within it the power to predict AND change...and the art of THAT is evidenced in everything around you. " If it weren't for dreams, there would be no idea, if it weren't for idea, there would be no desire, with no desire, there would be no movement, and if weren't for movement...what we would have is WORRY.
The very wise words of a very wise man--"Align your desire with spirit. When you do this, you ask yourself 'what do I offer to this desire? Thoughts, feelings, and behavior that match the desire---nothing happens until something moves. When you passionately believe in that which does not exist, you CREATE it. That which is nonexistent has not been significantly desired."~Dr. Wayne Dyer.
These words were VERY powerful to me and even challenged my mind to delve a bit further into the main idea of consciousness expansion. No one has to tell me that I have an expansive mind...I already know this, but sometimes, I would WORRY about it--try to tone it down a bit, or hide it altogether.. I used to think that because I thought, talked, and acted in this manner of such expanse that somehow, others would look upon me as if I thought I was better than them, smarter than them, or "holier than thou." Not anymore. I am who I am and I am this way for a reason--no amount of worry changes it.
As I began to dive deeper into these thoughts shared by Dr. Dyer, I asked myself "how do we know that even our biggest dreams, desires, and wishes that come in specific periods of our lives aren't something we already KNOW are going to happen in that particular season of our life...but they are "hidden and disguised" as dreams, wishes, and desires?" Let me give you some "for instances": At the age of 8 years old, I had already had fixed in my mind what kind of mother I was going to be WHEN I had children. Certainly, at 8 years old, my children did not yet EXIST, motherhood for me did not EXIST but lo and behold, 13 years later, 18 years later, and 20 years later..I was the mother of 3...and YES, those ideas of what kind of mother I would be did indeed come to fruition. I also had always wanted to live in an OLD house. I was especially drawn to "Victorian" homes with the ginger bread appearance outside and the high ceilings and large rooms inside adorned with beautifully carved woodwork..it was the character of these "old" homes that I was attracted to. I even remember after having my 3 kids, saying to my husband "Our single-level, 3 bedroom ranch house is getting just a smidge too small, how bout we look for a larger home---and YES, my sights were set on a Victorian and my love for this style of home was made known to everyone. However, that never happened while in that marriage...and I actually left that marriage because MY dreams never mattered. Years later, I would find myself living in my Victorian home with the high ceilings and large rooms, but not really realizing how it really wasn't "sought to be this way" but just "happened to be so." In other words, I wasn't out there "scouting" Vics...I was just looking for an affordable home to make my own.
There is SO much truth in these words...and yet, I am so consumed with thoughts of "already knowing" and how this is God's way. Hidden secrets, working from the end, and wouldn't this lend some sort of credibility to why we experience Deja Vu? We already know...and these precise moments of Deja Vu aren't necessarily the FOCUS of the experience...in other words, there is no stellar message contained within that experience that we should concentrate on because usually, Deja Vu happens during the most mundane of times and activities...I think it is a hint...God's way of "planting" an idea so that we might get off our tuppies and dig a little deeper...I think that in ANYTHING we plan, we match our intention with the proper thoughts, feelings, and actions....that what was meant to unfold will...just exactly the way it is planned. This is probably God's way of making us think it was all our idea and that we did it all on our own...because reallly, if EVERYTHING were given to us, then we would take for granted it would continue to be given, we would stop working for it and never appreciate it. How amazing the way each of our destiny's are set up and carried out and brings truth to "That which is nonexistant has not been significantly desired." You have to WANT it bad enough--and you will find that you receive your rewards and gifts when what YOU desire is also what you desire for another...in other words...when you want it for someone else. I wrote a post not too long ago about the reason why I am writing my book...this post is a prime example of aligning my desire with spirit...so now, I have no reason NOT to believe that I wasn't meant to write it, that it WILL be published, sold, and read.
Worry never enters in anymore. It is a waste of mind-time...it produces nothing. I look at my dreams a little differently now, and instead of "worrying" about reasons why they "may not" come true, I look back at my life and KNOW that any idea that has stuck with me for a long time has ALWAYS manifested.
So pretty much, I know that I am going to finish my book and get it published...that the intent will be realized, that I will meet OPRAH and I WILL go to Italy and Greece. I don't know in which order, but I really don't care...I just know that I have carried these "dreams" with me for a very long time, and I have put motion to them...and they WILL happen, because it is destined to be so.
No worries...just "dreams" of pure intent.

When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. ~Albert Einstein
