The Universal ComEd

Ever say or think, “The lines of communication between God/the Universe/my creativity, etc., are closed.” or that, “They are now open.” Well, I’ve got news for ya. Those lines are always open. Spirit broke it down to me like this:

1. God is like ComEd. Just go with it. I hope you’ll see and appreciate the humor of this analogy as I did. OK. So, God (the Universe, Spirit, Divine Mind – pick whichever works best for you) is, owns, has and shares all power.

2. Guess what. You will never have to pay a bill. In fact, you’ll never be sent a bill. In fact, (hold on to yourselves for this one) there is no bill to pay. There is no Accounts Receivable Department. The power is available to the Universe (duh) and since you’re a part of the Universe, it’s always available to you. You don’t have to earn it, or call for a special hook-up or make an appointment (only after speaking to untold numbers of agents and customer service reps and being in the “Q” and listening to mind-numbing music for hours) to have it turned on. The power is always on – you just have to realize it. Perhaps the problem is that because it IS always there, we don’t recognize it. We think we must have to DO something to keep it runnin’ otherwise, it doesn’t work. No. That’s your human mind doing a bit of creative thinking again. I love creative thinking. Make it work for you and realize when it’s not.
NOTE: At this point, you can dig out your copy of The Secret or one of L. Ron Hubbard’s books or one of the scazillion self-help, self-actualizing tapes or books that you’ve bought or been given. If one in particular comes to mind, check it out. Otherwise, continue reading this missive if you like. This isn’t a new message, it’s just repositioned. Why? ‘Cause this is about The Power, OUR Power and the Users Manuals is part of our DNA. Folks have been speaking and writing about it for ages. If you are getting a message, a "hit" about your own power right now, click out of this site and get into that. Bottom line: you ARE the Power. If a switch has already flipped for you -- go with it! Give yourself permission to be the being of wisdom, love, majesty and power that you are.

Still there? Cool. And welcome! Read on.

3. Breathe. It may take a minute to work through all the self-talk and dogma speak about limitations, unworthiness, privilege, us vs. them, etc. Think of it this way, if human beings owned the power, some greedy, scared-to-death little people might limit how much others could have. They might determine who is worthy and who is not. They might tell you what you have to sacrifice for the privilege--and doing so in a way that you'd always be operating from a place of deficiency and lack. They might even say one group can have access and others can't because of the way they dress, bow, where they were born, who their human and historical Moms and Dads were. Yeah. That is the creative thinking of people who know of the concept of power, but have no active relationship with Power. These are people who covet man-made power and use what they have in punitive ways to create a divide, to promote darkness for some and dimness (vs. light) for others. These people have not flipped their own switches. They are operating from darkness themselves while pretending (or maybe honestly thinking) that the faux, temporary, conditional power is the Universal Power. They project a voice like that of Gollum (a.k.a. Golem) from the Lord of the Rings) saying, “My precious. My precious.” in that creepy voice, with a skinny, dirty hand and gnarled fingers trying to snatch power from Mr. Frodo. Here's a link to images of Gollum. An unattractive fellow. http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1T4SKPB_enUS391US391&tbs=isch:1&q=gollum+lord+of+the+rings&revid=206200157&sa=X&ei=tMcZTfK3OoSUnQeShs3SDQ&ved=0CDQQ1QIoAA&biw=1345&bih=528

Turn away from the Gollums (internal and external) and realize you’re not wearing a ring of power. It’s not something you can put on and take off. No one else can give it to you or keep it from you. You ARE the power. By the way, sometimes the Gollums in our lives are quite attractive and that's part of their strategic distraction. Their surface beauty and power may present themselves as money, position power, sex, belongings, etc.

4. Search your DNA, touch your wisdom to remember the Truth that Divine Power is: universal, unlimited, inexhaustible, totally in-the-moment appropriate (in other words, it’s exactly what you need, when you need it and even present before you know you need it) available to all – all the time, immutable, exciting and the manifestation of Divine Love.

5. Now that you remember The Power, what it is, how and where it is and whose it is; now that you remember who you are and that you are The Power, now what? Here’s the kicker. Sometimes we forget we have and are The Power and, therefore, that it’s available to us all the time. Sometimes we thrash around in darkness, cursing the darkness, stumbling and stubbing our toes, not realizing all we have to do is flip the switch of our thinking and speaking to be in illumination and to be illuminated. Sometimes we believe the hype that we have to go to a special storehouse to get a special brand of a man-made bulb and, because we’re trying to get it from another human being who’s spewing the dogma of limitation, we believe the privilege is limited or can only come in a certain package or wattage. Sometimes we believe we’re 1000-watt bulbs, or 100, or 25-watt bulbs or worse, night lights. Sometimes we content ourselves with believing we're only as powerful as candle lights and spin it so we say it’s romantic as we squint and try to read the book of our lives. You know what that sounds like. It's the language of dogma.

Instead of this misthinking, know you’re phosphorescent white light. When you show up in all your power, some people – even you – may be temporarily blinded. We’ve been taught to look away as if we’ll sustain some kind of spiritual retinal damage. This Power is not an eclipse. You don’t need a box with a hole in it or special glasses to see it. You ARE it. Look at it. Look at yourself fully. Yes, you may squint for a moment. But keep looking and you'll begin to see -- in every way.

Lifework:

1. Flip your switch.

2. Live in the light, which is your Power – which is you being fully you.

3. Take all the actions that you can now clearly see.

4. Share your Power with others. Allow your light to first help them see shadows (not seen in total darkness), then the full spectrum of their own beauty, light and Power.

5. Thank God, the Universe, yourself and all creation (all the same thing, by the way) for simply being so powerfully, unrelentingly, lovingly and freely the Truth, the only reality.

6. Celebrate!!!!!!!!!!

I love you.

Heart Soaring!

A couple of months ago, I wrote a posting entitled, “Heartbroken.” It was about being betrayed in love, hurt and your heart being "broken" by a loved one.

Today, the title of the blog is Heart Soaring! This is about the experience and feeling you have when someone you love walks and talks within you, on and in the same wave and vibration of love. When you finish one another’s sentences and thoughts. When you are of one mind, stand in agreement, see one vision, hold one commitment – when you are not waiting to exhale, but are inhaling together and then in a complementary fashion while being totally independent and appropriately interdependent.

What?! What does all that mean, Gloria? It means that you and a loved one are looking at or feeling one another in such a way that you’re like, “Yeah. Yeah. Yeah!!!!! That’s it. That’s the ticket!! At last!!! SOMEone understands and agrees and is with me. I am NOT alone. I am no longer praaaaying that they get it. They’ve got it. And man-on-man DO they ever have it! I think I’ve got to throw up both my hands, shake a tail feather, give a high five to God and all of Creation. I can breathe!!!!!!!!!!” And while you’re experiencing all of that – your loved one is experiencing the same, identical thing. It’s like being at a restaurant and they bring one decadent desert and two spoons and you both dive in and just enjoy the deliciousness of it all.

Know what I mean? When you get to this point, you can agree together – because you’re together and I mean really together. It’s spiritual, emotional and mental intercourse. At this point, when you’re in this zone, you can disagree because it’s actually FUN – yes I said it – it’s actually FUN to discover what any disagreement is about, why it exists and then happily work through it to agreement or respect-filled disagreement. The journey is exciting because it and the end are sacred. And whether you have different stops along the journey, you’re always only a heart-beat away from one another.

Now, here’s a secret. Ready? You don’t have to wait for the New Year to expect, find, celebrate and enjoy this kind of connection. As you have been reading this, several New Minutes have passed and a New Moment is already here. There is was and here’s another one. Each is packed full of possibility – possibilities that Love has created, has put into place and that are waiting for you.

I want to thank my birth children, Arik and Lorren, for today’s experiences that inspired this blog. I experience rapid-fire, delicious, yummified GOT-CHA’s with them. A double portion of Love, togetherness, God-presence and God-harmony. Wanna know how we created this? (And keep in mind that my son lives with me here in Illinois and my daughter lives in California.) Read the Lifework so you can be reminded of how to create this in your own life, with your relationships.

Lifework:

1. Begin by meditating, praying and/or thanking God; by consciously connecting with Universal Love. Plug in. If you saw the movie Avatar, remember or the scenes when the Avatars would connect the fibers in their long braids with those of another being. That’s what I mean. Plug in. Become one with Love. This is a deliberate, clearly stated intention and expectation.

2. Next, go and do whatever you’re inspired to do. Stay inside, go outside, walk in nature, turn on soft music, light some candles. Folks, it really, really doesn’t matter WHAT you do as long as you’re aware of and do what you’re led to do. The outcome will be that you are connected with Love and you can feel it. You’re all wrapped up, tied up, tangled up with and in Love. TIP: By stating your intention then allowing yourself to relax, listen and do as you are led, you’ll see how quickly you simply ARE Love. TIP #2: Don’t do this while driving or operating heavy equipment. Have some sense! (-:

3. Commune with Love. BE Love. Enjoy it. You’ll feel different: lighter, clearer, softer, more gentle. Tears may come to your eyes. A smile may come to your face. You may chuckle or sigh softly. You’ll know you’re there ‘cause it’s like being a baby that’s held so gently and lovingly by someone who loves you unconditionally.

4. Allow yourself to think of other beings – human, animal, plants, water, the Earth, etc. At this point, you are actually connecting – Love thread to Love thread – with that being. You don’t even have to wonder if they’re open to it. At this point, the Universe/God/Love is knitting those fibers together. Just go with the flow. Whoever comes to mind, go into the sharing of Love with them. Enjoy it. Feast. Allow it. Don’t try to hold onto it. Let these feelings and thoughts come and go as they will. When you do, it will be divine. If you try to hold on to it, somewhere in your being you’ll begin to think about the lack of it and then you’ll begin to slip off your center, out of the space.

5. You’re done when you’re done. You’ll experience that “That was so good, I need a cigarette.” feeling. I’ve never been a smoker, but, based on what my friends and family who are have told me, I think that best describes the feeling.

Now THAT’S something to be addicted to: Pure, Universal, Godly Love. It affected and impacts everyone and everything it touches. Imagine what your moment, your life, your world will be like when you are in and benefitting from being in that space. Can you imagine it? I don’t know that I’m capable of imagining all the possibilities. There are so many that are waiting and ready to nurture, restore, empower and supply us with our heart’s desire. Possibilities that lift our minds, souls and hearts; our creativity, intuition and energy. Possibilities that cause our hearts to soar.

Won’t you join me? Happy New Moment.

I love you.
