BOOK LIGHTS: from : “The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources” by Lynne Twist

It could be said that a great fund-raiser is a broker for the sacred energy of money, helping people use the money that flows through their lives in the most useful way that is consistent with their aspirations and hopes for humanity…It could be said that each of us has the opportunity in our own lives to steward the flow of money; whatever level comes our way.

Lynne Twist

Creating a ‘right relationship’ with money allows us to use money to make things happen in the world. Each of us does not have to tackle the problems of the world in isolation because now we can easily join with others to contribute resources – time, talents and treasure – toward moving humanity along on its evolutionary path. Allowing money to flow through our lives and into helping projects makes an energetic space for more money to flow to & through us. The operative word is ‘flow.’

 

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Touching Peace: practicing the art of mindful living” by Thich Nhat Hanh

We know that when we have peace and joy in ourselves, our peace and joy vibrate throughout the cosmos. So when we have hatred and anger in ourselves, they too will rebound to all quarters.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Our feelings are not just ours – they ‘vibrate through the cosmos.’ So notice how you are feeling and notice what you are vibrating through the cosmos. Maybe you don’t have to choose hatred and anger…

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief” by Gregg Braden

The implication of both quantum theory and the ancient texts is that in the unseen realms we create the blueprint for the relationships, careers, successes, and failures of the visible world. From this perspective, the Divine Matrix works like a great cosmic screen that allows us to see the nonphysical energy of our emotions and beliefs (our anger, hate and rage: as well as our love, compassion, and understanding) projected in the physical medium of life.

Gregg Braden

When we see that we project onto this ‘great cosmic screen’ our emotions and beliefs, we can own our power to direct the movie playing out on that screen. We are a part of the story of that movie and our participation is invited as we develop into the person we were born to be. Our role in that movie is our Life Purpose. Create that movie with confidence!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age”, edited by Daniel Pinchbeck and Ken Jordan, from the chapter, “Transforming Repression of The Divine Feminine” by Wahkeena Sitka Tidepool Ripple

Those of us awakening to the global situation are calling for transformation. But at the same time we fear the exciting potential this desired transformation will release in us. The change that must take place needs to occur within each individual.

 Wahkeena Sitka Tidepool Ripple

 

Have you noticed how often the ‘repression of The Divine Feminine’ takes on the guise of attacking women or women’s rights? Transformation must happen in the hearts of all of us, men and women, as we embrace BOTH our masculine and feminine energies and find their balance. It doesn’t have to be ‘either/or.’ It can be ‘and.’ This balance of masculine and feminine just might be the first of the shifts within us that will bring into being the New Human!

I invite you to examine your relationships with the people who are closest to you. Next, acknowledge the traits and characteristics that irritate you to no end and just seem to make you crazy. Once you do so, ask yourself the following question: Are these people showing me myself in this moment?

Gregg Braden

Remember, those people aren’t there JUST to irritate you – their role is to help you learn your lessons, bless ‘em!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief” by Gregg Braden

“…we may not be as limited by the laws of physics as we believe. Perhaps things are able to travel faster than the speed of light, and maybe they can be in two places at once! And if things have this ability, what about us?”

Gregg Braden

Allow yourself to consider the possibilities that are beyond what you currently believe. You are never as small as you think you are. You are all-ways greater than you believe yourself to be. Grow in understanding. Expand your awareness. In other words, evolve. [Quantum Physics is helping to shatter old limiting beliefs and show us the new reality.] Let Consciousness be the next dimension that you explore!

 

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Money, and the Law of Attraction: Leaning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness” by Esther and Jerry Hicks, The Teachings of Abraham®

If you will begin by identifying how you want to feel, or be, and let your inspiration to accumulate or to do come from that centered place, then not only will you maintain your balance, but you will now enjoy the things you gather and the things that you do.

Esther and Jerry Hicks

It seems we are always in pursuit of something but learning to center in our being allows us to reach that place of having our dreams and desires. The best way to start is simply to breathe. Breathe into your feelings, your being, your own center and you will be able to access the fullness of the experience of NOW. Then you can enjoy!

Sufficiency as a way of being offers us enormous personal freedom and possibility.  Rather than scarcity’s myths that tell us that the only way to perceive the world is there’s not enough, more is better, and that’s just the way it is, the truth of sufficiency asserts that there is enough for everyone. Knowing that there is enough inspires sharing, collaboration, and contribution.

Lynne Twist

During this time of major change on Planet Earth, many of us are learning to redefine our relationship with money, time, resources and the concept of ‘plenty.’  I love what Lynne Twist says here: ‘Knowing that there is enough inspires sharing, collaboration, and contribution.’  We have seen what the culture of greed brings to society.  Let us commit to bringing the culture of sufficiency to our societies instead!

Regardless of how different they may appear from one another, every mind contains the pattern of the whole consciousness. And through that link, we each have direct access to the entire pattern. In other words, we all have the power to change the hologram of our world. While for some people this is an unconventional way to think about who we are, for others it’s perfectly aligned with their beliefs and experiences.

Gregg Braden

Think about the scope of the statement that Gregg Braden is making. Not only CAN we change the hologram of our world through our own consciousness, I believe we have a responsibility to clear our limiting beliefs and negative thoughts about ourselves and to live our Life Purpose so we can be who we came here to be and CREATE the hologram of which we are an integral part. What are you doing to answer the Call of Consciousness?

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief” by Gregg Braden

“A long time ago, our world was very different from the way we see it today,” the wisdom keeper began. “There were fewer people, and we lived closer to the land. People knew the language of the rain, the crops, and the Great Creator. They even knew how to speak to the stars and the sky people. They were aware that life is sacred and comes from the marriage between Mother Earth and Father Sky. In this time, there was balance and people were happy.”   

 I felt something very ancient well up inside of me as I heard the man’s peaceful voice echo against the sandstone cliffs that surrounded us. Suddenly, his voice changed to a tone of sadness.    

“Then something happened,” he said. “No one really knows why, but people started to forget who they were. In their forgetting, they began to feel separate – separate from the earth, from each other, and even from the one who created them. They were lost and wandered through life with no direction or connection. In their separation, they believed that they had to fight to survive in this world and defend themselves against the same forces that gave them the life they had learned to live in harmony with and trust. Soon all of their energy was used to protect themselves from the world around them, instead of making peace with the world within them.”

Gregg Braden

Gregg Braden tells this story about his encounter with a Native American wisdom keeper he met serendipitously while hiking in New Mexico. What wisdom! We forget our connections are sourced WITHIN us. Learn to go inside, to tap into the wisdom that lies there, to trust your own intuition and you will find that we are all connected. This is why it is so important to live your Life Purpose – it is connected to all the others’!
