Lord's Prayer

This version is a direct translation from Aramaic to English rather than the common version which is translated from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to Old English to Modern English. I found the contrast interesting.

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration. Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.

Amen

How do I live my vision and find my way home, when I love others who don’t support my choices?
If you look at your whole life, see how you are not willing to follow the Holy Spirit in your heart.
When you look at your life, you may see times you have taken the steps to follow and judged you made a mistake. You may see how your fear of making another mistake is interfering with your inner knowing and willingness.

You may see how you have spent much of your life blaming and/or waiting for others to take you or lead you or hoping they would take the risk for you.

You may see that you are more concerned about how it looks to others than giving others your Holy example to follow.

When the world is going in the wrong direction, it is Spirit that leads us in the right direction. The one who follows the Holy Spirit never fits with the worldly path.
The Holy Spirit asks us to be willing to listen and follow.

Ego is constantly doubting, questioning and trying to figure out how.
Begin with taking responsibility for where you find yourself today.
Forgive your self for judging your “on and off the path” life choices.
Respect your creativity.
If you want to change your path, simply forgive and choose again.
Look for how God has used your whole life, mistakes and all for Good.
Then co-create your life for the Highest Good of All.
Let the Universe align with your choice to serve the Greater Good, which always supports everyone, even if they do not agree.
Holy Spirit directs us so that no one loses.....
Yes, most may resist and some may stay behind, but that is their choice, not yours.
It is time to totally support your freedom and trust your choices.
Listen to the Voice for the Holy Spirit. Listen to the Joy within.

Some obvious and not so obvious truths about vision fulfillment.

Forgive yourself for waiting, delaying and distracting yourself.
Take responsibility for how you have created your life until now.
Give yourself permission to simply let go of it all and choose again.
“From the field of infinite possibility, what do you choose for the good of all?”
Then ask the Holy Spirit and yourself, how and where can I begin? What is my first step.
You are called to not make up what others will think or say or do.
Your call is to share your joy and trust in right outcome.

Betty Lue Lieber, Ph.D. MFT,

"When we walk to the edge of all the light we have; And take the step into the darkness of the unknown; We must believe that one of two things will happen... There will be something solid for us to stand on.. ..... or we will be taught to fly."

- Patrick Overton

"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life--specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."
 

- Erica Mann Jong (b. 1942)
  American novelist, poet, "Fear of Flying", "Half Lives"

"Here is the secret of inspiration. Tell yourself that thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you."

---William Feather

"To him that waits all things reveal themselves, provided that he has the courage not to deny, in the darkness, what he has seen in the light."

---Coventry Patmore

"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

--Nelson Mandala

A Children’s Parable

Adapted from Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch

Once upon no time there was a Little Soul who said to God, "I know who I am!" And God said, "That’s wonderful! Who are you?" And the Little Soul shouted, "I am the light!" God smiled a big smile. "That’s right!" God exclaimed. "You are the light." The Little Soul was so happy, for it had figured out what all souls in the Kingdom were there to figure out. "Wow", said the Little Soul, "this is really cool!"

But soon knowing who it was was not enough. The Little Soul felt stirrings inside, and now it wanted to be who it was. And so the Little Soul went back to God (which is not such a bad idea for all souls who want to be Who They Really Are) and said, "Hi, God! Now that I know Who I am, is it okay for me to be it?" And God said, "You mean you want to be Who You Already are?" "Well," replied the Little Soul, "its one thing to know Who I Am, and another thing altogether to actually be it. I want to feel what it’s like to be the Light!"

"But you already are the Light," God repeated, smiling again. "Yes, but I want to see what it feels like!" cried the Little Soul. "Well," said God with a chuckle, "I suppose I should have known. You always were the adventuresome one." Then God’s expression changed. "There’s only one thing…" "What?" asked the Little Soul. "Well, there is nothing else but the Light. You see, I created nothing but what you are; and so, there is no easy way for you to experience yourself as Who You Are, since there’s nothing that you are not." "Huh?" said the Little Soul, who was now a little confused.

"Think of it this way," said God. "You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you’re there all right. Along with a million, ka-jillion other candles who make up the Sun. And the Sun would not be the Sun without you. Nay, it would be a sun without one of it’s candles… and that would not be the Sun at all; for it would not shine as brightly. Yet, how to know yourself as the Light when you are amidst the Light – that is the question." Well," the Little Soul perked up, "you’re God. Think of something!" Once more God smiled. "I already have," God said. "Since you cannot see yourself as the Light when you are in the Light, we’ll surround you with darkness." "What is darkness?" the Little Soul asked. God replied, "It is that which you are not." "Will I be afraid in the dark?" cried the Little Soul. "Only if you choose to be," God answered. "There is nothing really, to be afraid of, unless you decide that there is. You see, we are making it all up. We are pretending." "Oh," said the Little Soul, and felt better already.

Then God explained that, in order to experience anything at all, the exact opposite of it will appear. "It’s a great gift," God said, "because without it, you could not know what anything is like. You could not know Warm without Cold, Up without Down, Fast without Slow. You could not know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then." "And so," God concluded, "when you are surrounded with darkness, do not shake your fist and raise your voice and curse the darkness. Rather be a Light unto the darkness, and don’t be mad about it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and others will know, too. Let your Light so shine that everyone will know how special you are!" "You mean it’s okay to let others see how special I am?" asked the Little Soul. "Of course!" God chuckled. "It’s very okay! But remember, ‘special’ does not mean ‘better.’ Everybody is special, each in their own way! Yet many others have forgotten that. They will see that it is okay for them to be special only when you see that it is okay for you to be special." "Wow," said the Little Soul, dancing and skipping and laughing and jumping with joy. "I can be as special as I want to be!" "Yes, and you can start right now," said God, who was dancing and skipping and laughing right along with the Little Soul. "What part of special do you want to be?" "What part of special?" the Little Soul repeated. "I don’t understand." "Well," God explained, "being the Light is being special, and being special has a lot of parts to it. It is special to be kind. It is special to be gentle. It is special to be creative. It is special to be patient. Can you think of any other ways it is special to be?" The Little Soul sat quietly for a moment. "I can think of lots of ways to be special!" the Little Soul exclaimed. "It is special to be helpful. It is special to be sharing. It is special to be friendly. It is special to be considerate of others!" "Yes," God agreed, "and you can be all of those things, or any part of special you wish to be, at any moment. That’s what it means to be the Light." "I know what I want to be, I know what I want to be!" the Little Soul announced with great excitement. "I want to be the part of special called ‘forgiving.’ Isn’t it special to be forgiving?" "Oh yes," God assured the Little Soul. "That’s very special." "Okay," said the Little Soul. "That’s what I want to be, I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as that." "Good," said God, "but there’s one thing you should know."

The Little Soul was becoming a bit impatient now. It always seemed as though there were some complication. "What is it?" the Little Soul sighed. "There is no one to forgive." "No one?" The Little Soul could hardly believe what had been said. "No one!" God repeated. "Everything I’ve made is perfect. There’s not a single soul in all creation less perfect than you." It was then that the Little Soul realized that a large crowd had gathered. Should had come from far and wide – from all over the Kingdom – for word had gone forth that the Little Soul was having this extraordinary conversation with God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were saying.

Looking at the countless souls gathered there, the Little Soul had to agree. None appeared less wonderful, less magnificent, or less perfect that the Little Soul itself. Such was the wonder of the souls gathered around and so bright was their Light, that the Little Soul could scarcely gaze upon them. "Who, then, to forgive? Asked God. "Boy, this is going to be no fun at all!" grumbled the Little Soul. "I wanted to experience myself as the One Who Forgives. I wanted to know what that part of special felt like." And the Little Soul learned what it must feel like to be sad.

But just then a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd. "Not to worry, Little Soul," the Friendly Soul said, "I will help you." "You will?" the Little Soul brightened. "But what can you do?" "Why, I can give you someone to forgive!"

"You can?"

"Certainly!" chirped the Friendly Soul. "I can come into your next lifetime and do something for you to forgive."

"But why? Why would you do that?" the Little Soul asked. "You who are a Being of such utter perfection! You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your bright Light would become dark and dense? What could cause you – who are so light that you dance upon the stars and move throughout the Kingdom with the speed of your thought – to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do this bad thing?"

"Simple," the Friendly Soul said. "I would do it because I love you."The Little Soul seemed surprised by the answer.

"Don’t be so amazed," said the Friendly Soul, "you have done the same thing for me. Don’t you remember? Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. Across all time and in many places have we played together. You just don’t remember.

"We have both been All of It. We have been the Up and the Down of it, The Left and the Right of it. We have been the Here and the There of it, The Now and the Then of it. We have been the male and the female, the good and the bad – we have both been the victim and the villain of it." "Thus have we come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are. And so," the Friendly Soul explained a little further, "I will come into your next lifetime and be the ‘bad one’ this time. I will do something really terrible, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives."

"But what will you do?" the Little Soul asked, just a little nervously, "that will be so terrible?"

"Oh," replied the Friendly Soul with a twinkle, "we’ll think of something."
Then the Friendly Soul seemed to turn serious, and said in a quiet voice, "You are right about one thing, you know."

"What is that?" the Little Soul wanted to know.

"I will have to slow down my vibration and become very heavy to do this not-so-nice thing. I will have to pretend to be something very unlike myself. And so, I have but one favor to ask of you in return."

"Oh, anything, anything!" cried the Little Soul, and began to dance and sing, "I get to be forgiving, I get to be forgiving!"

Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was remaining very quiet.

"What is it?" the Little Soul asked. "What can I do for you? You are such an angel to be willing to do this for me!"

"Of course this Friendly Soul is an angel!" God interrupted. "Everyone is! Always remember I have sent you nothing but angels!"

And so the Little Soul wanted more than ever to grant the Friendly Soul’s request. "What can I do for you?" the Little Soul asked again.

"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," the Friendly Soul replied, "in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could possibly imagine – in that very moment…"

"Yes?" the Little Soul interrupted, "yes…?"

The Friendly Soul became quieter still.  "Remember Who I Really Am."

"Oh, I will!" cried the Little Soul, I promise! I will always remember you as I see you right here, right now!"

"Good," said the Friendly Soul, "because, you see, I will have been pretending so hard, I will have forgotten myself. And if you don’t remember me as I Really Am, I may not be able to remember for a long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you may even forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come along and remind us both of Who We Are."

"No, we won’t!" the Little Soul promised again. "I will remember you! And I will thank you for bringing me this gift – the chance to experience myself as Who I Am."

And so, the agreement was made. And the Little Soul went forth into a new lifetime, excited to be the Light, which was very special, and excited to be that part of special called Forgiveness. And the Little Soul waited anxiously to be able to experience itself as Forgiveness, and to thank whatever other soul made it possible. And at all the moments in that new lifetime, whenever a new souls appeared on the scene, whether that new soul brought joy or sadness – and especially if it brought sadness – the Little Soul thought of what God had said.

"Always remember," God had smiled, "I have sent you nothing but angels."

Back cover of My ET Diary by C.C.  www.wistancia.com

"I want you all to remember when, in a few days’ time, the thoughts of the whole of your nation are centered on the many who laid down their bodies of matter in service, that it is a great reminder to you all of the way in which millions of the children of the Great Spirit have been for years betrayed by those who lead in the affairs of men.

The sacrifices have all been in vain, and the sacred reminder comes to each one of you to realize that there are only a few very simple ways by which peace, harmony and happiness can reign.

You build up systems based on greed and selfishness and, as result, you reap war and poverty, starvation misery, distress and chaos. And then you ask us how we can help you, when all the time the message of the Spirit has been forgotten and neglected, even by those who should preach the word of the Great Spirit.

Temporal power is as naught beside spiritual realities, and, although many sneer at the things of the Spirit, the solution of all the troubles of your world will only be found when all people, in the spirit of goodwill, apply spiritual truth to material problems.

You are nearer disaster today than you were when it was announced that war had ceased. You are nearer to grave and terrible troubles. The world is heading straight for that which spells bloodshed, great bloodshed.

I speak with gravity because of that which I know. It may be that the world will be saved from itself, but only if the efforts of all those who seek to serve, not to aggrandize self, triumph over the power of greed and selfishness. Peace will not come to your world from war. Happiness will not come from misery. Laughter cannot come from tears of sorrow.

There is plenty for all. But greed stands in the way. Those who seek to rule by the sword must perish by the sword. That same truth prevails today.

But, throughout all the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. Do not despair. Hold fast to that which you know to be true.

Each succeeding year makes the futility of this human sacrifice more apparent. Your world will pay for just two minutes of its time and silent tribute in memory of the ‘glorious dead,’ and after that they will be forgotten for another year, until they are taken off the shelf and dusted once again.

Their sacrifices were all in vain. They have been agonized for nineteen years. The Great War! Its greatness consisted in the amount of slaughter, wasted slaughter. The Great War, that was to end all war! How hollow, how full of mockery do those words sound!

Do you not consider that those who made every sacrifice that they could make in the world of matter, even to laying down their physical lives, have not spent years in bitter disillusionment? They were cut off in the prime of earthly life. They were sent unprepared into the world of spirit. They passed on cheerfully for an ideal, that your civilization might be saved, and they have been betrayed ever since.

War has not been driven from the face of the earth, for, even as you will pay tribute to the ‘fallen dead,’ as you call them, of your last war, there will be no armistice in the East or in Spain, where the killing will continue even without a cessation of two minutes.

Does your world of matter realize that peace can only come from the application of spiritual laws to worldly matters?

“It is selfishness that brings not only war, with its train of bloodshed, misery and weeping, but chaos, confusion, disaster and bankruptcy.”

They must learn that only by substituting service for selfishness can peace come, that the old ideas of materialism and power and desires to aggrandize nations must be swept away and in their place there must reign the desire to live for one another, the stronger to help the weaker, the richer to give to the poorer.

Do not insult those who have been translated to spirit realms with tributes that come from the lips and not from the heart.

All other methods have been tried and they have failed you. But not yet has the application of spiritual truths been tried. Unless your world does so, it will continue with war and bloodshed that will, in the end, destroy your much vaunted civilization.

The laws must be obeyed,” he went on. “If the world lives with the law, it reaps the benefits. If it lives against the law, it reaps the results. One way brings peace and happiness and plenty, the other way misery and war and bloodshed and chaos.

We are despised in your world of matter by those who should be the leaders of the children of the Great Spirit. We are rejected by those who should welcome us because we come in the name of the Great Spirit and His love. Filled with the desire to serve, we seek to reveal those laws and that power which will show your world how to save itself.

And those who are steeped in the ignorance of spiritual blindness, and who surround themselves with ceremony and ritual, and at the same time deny the power of the Great Spirit to descend today, must pay the price.

We are the friends of all who seek to serve. We are the enemies only of those who seek to destroy. We come on wings of love and service ready to help wherever we can. That is the great task that we all have to perform.

Your world pays too much attention to old fables because they are old. Truth and age do not always march together. I know it is difficult to surrender the dearly held beliefs learned in the days of childhood, but when the soul becomes free it must discard all that reason rejects. How many are prepared to do that?

When the passions created in men’s breasts die down, they will have to confront reality. That is your task in your world of matter - to tear away the veils of illusion and to reveal truth. Some cannot behold truth’s blinding light, but it is of no account. They are not ready.

The truth reigns supreme. Ignorance flees before its approach. It is because our message is true that we one day will reign supreme - not we who are the instruments, but that which we represent, the love of the Great Spirit, the infinity of His bounty, the love, the wisdom, the knowledge that watches over all mankind.

Away must go every obstacle that prevents the fullness of the Great Spirit being revealed. Away must go all servitude. Away must go all barriers. That is the task upon which we are all engaged.”
