FAITH EXPERIMENTS

                                       Saturday  July 25th 2015
I ran the Holiness of the canyon with my Besties KIM and KIM.  The JOY just wants to scream out of my chest. I meditated to Oprah and Deepak about Grace. I juiced alkaline juice in my new juicer. My angel number for the day read "Congratulations for making healthy choices which truly are answers to your prayers". I gave a google hang out class on the what,  how and why of essential oils. I am in constant awe of the lessons in EVERYTHING around me. I was sitting at my desk listening to MATT KAHN on this weeks share " EVERYTHING IS HERE TO HELP YOU",

when I was over come with the urge to lay and be in the sun. Having spent a minute or two indulging in said beloved sun as of late, I thought it wise to  NOT head to the balcony lounge. The feeling wouldn't leave me. I have been reading Michael Singer's THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT

He talks about the voice in our head that talks incessantly. I have been super aware of the voice in my head. It would not leave. So I got up from my desk wondering if I might move rooms or get socks or what????  and saw this patch of sun on the floor. I wondered at how perfect it was just for my size. I brought my book for notes as I sprawled across it and listened. I knew to take the pic and note of this space. I took the pic amazed at how perfect. As I lay there I looked at my book case and saw my mothers scriptures. I marveled that I had been wise enough to ask her for them. I wondered if I could just open them the way I pull energy cards and have that be a love message from her.  I pulled the scriptures...I stuck my finger in and opened. First I cried just seeing her handwriting. We both litter the books we love with our notes. Then I read the first thing that popped out at me.  Alma 32:36
BEHOLD, I SAY UNTO  YOU, NAY; NEITHER MUST YE LAY ASIDE  YOUR FAITH, FOR YE HAVE EXERCISED YOUR FAITH TO PLANT THE SEED THAT YE MIGHT TRY THE EXPERIMENT TO KNOW IF THE SEED WAS GOOD.....

Matt's sharing was all about FAITH....and the EXPERIMENT I have been playing with is Michael Singers. This particular verse is a verse I know well. To so many others this will look a coincidence. To me...direct love from a missed Mother who I often wonder how she feels about the side roads I explore.

I hope you listen to Matt AND read the SURRENDER EXPERIMENT. Matt says once we know that EVERYTHING really does work out, it BUILDS our FAITH...and then we can embrace anything and everything as the PERFECT teacher and send love to it in gratitude for being our teacher.
Michael speaks of a place where we quit forcing our preference on everything and trust the Universe to deliver even MORE abundance and joy than we can imagine ourselves....just a WOWZA book for the soul. A few short sentences cannot relay the beauty of his knowing.  I encouraged you to read his THE UNTETHERED SOUL...I'll do so again. I REALLY love that this man is home grown in my beloved Gainesville. I loved visiting his Temple of the Universe. Ready to head back home.

The weeks stay filled with my transforming. My Mermaid hanging off the rear view broke her tail when they changed the windshield out. A Mermaid's tail breaking symbolizes she has made the transformation into a land creature. Could it be for me?  I was immediately struck. with the thought...and in LIKE with the way clearer view of the new windshield.

Let's talk SOCRATES!!!

I am coming to so many  parties LATE!!!! I AM SO HAPPY THAT I GET TO INVITE MYSELF!!!!  I freaking LOVE studying the GREAT MINDS and HEARTS of those who have gone on before. I fuss to myself when I miss my mom.  I feel gypped that I don't have that "love me no matter what" female life ADVOCATE to hold my hand. I step out of that ridiculous thinking when crazy synchronicity pours out around me. I will tell you more about that in another post.   As I battle the insecurity of wanting to be CHOSEN  of their accord by others, the Universe perfectly scoops me up. WHO..I mean WHO gets CHOSEN by SOCRATES???? ALL OF US...yes...me included!!! Snuggle up to his HEART!!!  I am his Lover. Maybe, just maybe, I was his wife that made him the Philosopher. The GODS bless us both. 

1) “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”

2) “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

3) “There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”

4) “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”

5) “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

6) “Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.”

7) “By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.”

8) “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”

9) “If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”

10) “Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”

11) “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”

12) “To find yourself, think for yourself.”

13) “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

14) “Know thyself.”

15) “Let him who would move the world first move himself.”

16) “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”

17) “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

18) “I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.”

19) “Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.”

20) “understanding a question is half an answer”

21) “True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us”

22) “He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.”

23) “To be is to do”

24) “The mind is everything; what you think you become”

He gets new reign of the shower wall of quotes...happening now. But to READ him...as good as Hagendas  coffee ice cream in bed.

 Doug Kohler and Gloria Eichenhauer  taught me about KOMBUCHA before dinner.

The name kombucha [(Chinese: chájūn (茶菌), Japanese: kōcha-kinoko (紅茶キノコ), Korean: hongchabeoseotcha (홍차버섯차), Russian: chaynyy grib (чайный гриб)] refers to any of a variety of preparations of fermented, lightly effervescent sweetened black or green tea drinks that are commonly used as functional beverages for their health benefits. Kombucha is produced by fermenting tea using a "symbiotic 'colony' of bacteria and yeast" (SCOBY). Actual contributing microbial populations in SCOBY cultures vary, but the yeast component generally includes Saccharomyces and other species, and the bacterial component almost always includes Gluconacetobacter xylinus to oxidize yeast-produced alcohols to acetic and other acids.

Beverages referred to as kombucha originated around 5,000 years ago in China. The health benefits include #1 detoxification #2 Joint care (arthritis etc.) #3 Aids digestion and gut health #4 Immune boosting. Doug makes his own...
