A TRILOGY..Including Recipe


So much to say...
A Trilogy including Recipe.
~~~~~~~~~~~


~~2009 ended with some unexpected drama and grief and I know, that too, shall pass. And I will get through it with more insight and truth as before. Although...I am not a believer in "seeing beyond the illusion" as means of railroading one's true feelings.
Meaning...if I feel like shit about something..I FEEL like shit. And that is the only way, that we CAN truly
get through anything in this life. Feeling through it.

I am grateful for my experiences. I am also grateful that everything that I have experienced so far has led me to the u
nderstanding of what being HUMAN really means.
And so I feel what I need to feel for as long as it takes me to truly see beyond...not only to pretend to.


The above refers to a recent death. Not of a close "friend", but an acquaintance. And one I believed to be a brilliant glowing light in the community. It feels very personal, never-the-less. And I had looked forward to knowing him better. He will be missed by many.
I want to remind you of the experiences and gifts that I have and can utilize...and how long my experience has been working with those on the other side. I am only bringing that up to re-affirm that even though I KNOW a lot... can do many, many things that many OTHER people have not the ability...I STILL FEEL pain, loss and disappointment.
All that...to let you know I am being honest with you...in my human-being-ness.

~~This has been on my mind for awhile now......
One
of my biggest gripes about the NEW AGErs is how they can use the TRUTH of "Everything Happens for a REASON"...as an excuse for NOT feeling to the depth of their humanity. Unfortunately for them, surrounding yourself with positive energies does not mean...avoiding the reality of the 3rd dimension. How can we sincerely walk any Spiritual path...and delve into other dimensions (which, meta-physically, we are supposedly, being asked to do)... if the one dimension in which our bodies reside in order to experience, is filled with unresolved issues, dis-honesty (with one's self & others) and denial?

~Seeing beyond the illusion.
~CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY!
~Living in the moment.
~YOU CAN MANIFEST ANYTHING!!!!!!


Blah, blah, blah.
Frankly...as an UN-New Ager...I choose to NOT surround myself with people who throw around those over-used, abused and misunderstood statements. Founded in truth, as they may be.
I wonder how the makers of THE SEC
RET would feel about THAT statement? Well, it's certainly no worry of mine. My immediate distaste , no...DISGUST for the superficial, and severely
promoted film was confirmed when recently, one of the movies head-perpetrators allowed his EGO to get in the way (again...), of COMMON SENSE and COMPASSION and therefore, several people LOST their human lives for the sake of his "mis"-guidance. Did they SACRIFICE their lives for the greater good? Did they on some invisible realm...say to the universe..."HEY, lets have so and so...screw up in a big way and cause us to die...then, HE...and others who will read about the incident will get a grip on what this whole "spiritual" thing is really about and how the EGO is a subtle, dangerous culprit?
Therefore: Everything DOES indeed happen for a reason?"

Well, honestly, THAT could be the case.
I don't know, for sure.
But that's what I am saying.


When someone says THEY DO KNOW FOR SURE...start running the other way & take cover. Because it WILL not turn out well. That is only one story that happened to make the news. That is just one example of the dangerous mis-guidance I see happening all around. In large and small circles, effecting and perhaps harming people on many different levels. And frankly, I am appalled. They truly are coming out the woodwork...approach with caution. And if there is one of them...among YOU, the readers out there...around the world...although it is unlikely you will recognize it in yourself....I'll say it anyway...Stop, Look & Listen before you open your mouth...maybe we can 'save some lives'.
More on that another time, but for now:

A little bit of information + a lot of ego = DANGER.

***
RECIPE (servings: enough for a life time)


~1 cup of Information
~1/2 cup of Mis-information
~1 lb of EGO (amounts of first 2 ingredients may be adjusted, depending on the amount of EGO you are using)
~2 teaspoons of Denial (You may substitute with *Avoiding The Obvious)
~4 tablespoons of Distractions (often found on shelf next to:
*Seemingly Important & *Moving As fast As I Can)
~A pinch of motivation (usually combined with *The need for Attention, Fame or Money, a 'Guru' complex...or just plain Narcissism)

Quickly mix together in a small mind
Grease your preferred shaped form for baking...(
buttering it up & coating it with sugar usually works well)
Pour it into chosen form
Bake at 98.6 degrees for as many years as it takes to start believing your own lies, (so therefore it will actually be only HALF-baked....)
When you start smelling it, it's done.
VOILA:
One big, fat: DANGER-cake.

Remove for consumption by carefully repeating affirmations for "letting it all go", by chanting simply allowing it to manifest where-ever you want it to land (on plate, etc)...or just zap it with some
good vibes and see what happens. BTW...'serving plate', if used... must be carved from the highest quality quartz crystal and enhanced with Selenite. (Selenite for self-cleaning, of course)


Icing:
Act as if you have all the answers.

Filling: (for optional 2-layer)
TALK constantly about how free-spirited, in the moment and how much you just love everyone, because..."we are all one".


Note:
Avoid emotional-healing 3-D practices such as therapy or any form of serious counseling, don't fall for those nasty honest-intimate- relationship/friendship scams, don't give into the lure of solitude, stillness or Genuine self-reflection. For all of those ingredients are guaranteed to throw off the recipe completely...and your end result will never hold true to form.

Ouch! I wouldn't want to be reading this if I FELT like I wasn't doing and hadn't done some "work"! Wait....I'm not doing any work today. Uh-oh.

Though, I think it's good that you remind us of your human-ess--and that yes you do feel pain. The Don Belton murder is just such a shock!

Very creative. Love the recipe!

I know one thing that always disturbed me about The Secret is that it seems to be about owning "things". Manifesting material gain. But is that what we are really here for? Is that what makes us truly happy? I think not. Happiness does not lie in what we own but in who we are.

"When you start smelling it, it's done."

"it will actually be only HALF-baked"

Hilarious and so apropos!

Well said.
Whatever happened to honest communication where a person can share negative emotions without some New Age guru wannabe piping up with the spiritual truths "oh, there is no good or bad. Love is all there is." as the panacea for the negativity. Or, "You should be happy. Only one of your dogs died when you wrecked your car and broke your leg." How about just a simple "Boy, you are going thru a rough time, eh?" The New Age belief that "The Key is to be in a constant state of bliss...no matter what happens" means to me that The River of Denial is the main ingredient in GO WITH THE FLOW. What do I win, Johnny, if, short of a lobotomy, I maintain at all times a constant Zen demeanor NO MATTER WHAT... even if some dimwit is trying to set my hair on fire to prove that it cleanses my Crown chakra so that I can actually hear the voices of all my guides and see all eleven dimensions. Do I win the choice of GREAT MANIFESTER or I AM ENLIGHTENED t-shirt [just to announce it in case no one could guess from my verbal assurances] or a monthly club membership insuring that a pint of pristine urine arrives at my door every month so I can drink it in the emergency situations that arise when my "dark" thoughts cannot be banished by the mantra "I am not my thoughts". I could go on and on, but I feel the need to drink a pint of something. hahahaha Cheers!

WOW this is very powerful !!!!

Thanks for the link to Don Belton-How sad-

I am aware that you have had a bone to pick with the "New Agers"- not sure where to draw the line on "them"-I have my own ideas about all that-well, in theory anyway- hahaha

I sense a lot of anger coming from your heart-hopefully a cleansing,of sorts, has been initiated with getting all this off your chest-what a venomous recipe, full of truths, yet venomous-
kind of reminds me of when I used to be admonished by "someone" to take care of a boiling pot, or a volcano ready to explode-anyway, just kind of part of a visual I'm getting-

excellent timing-still kind of Blue Moonish-on the Cusp of a brand New Year-

Will your words hit the mark? The true intended mark ? Are there many "New Agers" on your list?

There is no one solution- no one right way-many wrong ways-

My sister loves The Secret- I love that it encourages her to help co-create her reality-I love that it inspires her to try to change her reality,her circumstances-I love that it encourages her to believe that she can influence her reality-she uses it in a positive way-
I like that some people are able to use the book as a springboard of sorts, to propel themselves to another level-
I think the stories and examples of people's lives were meant to show us that there are still miracles to be created in this day and age- there is still magic in our world-at what point did their Ego gain the upper hand? we all must be ever vigilant-it's a fine line-

A lot of different people inspire me, in many ways-

always I have to come back to "listen to your heart" - take only what sounds true, for your own reality-

we are all, only a piece of the whole-

we only know a piece of the real truth,the whole truth-

we are all human-,well,having a human experience-

the further we back up to get a better look, the more layers we see-

we can choose to see a layer that brings us peace-I've heard that said,and I believe it to be true-
sometimes I have found it to be necessary in my own life,to make sense of it all or to make peace with a certain person or thing.I just have to keep taking a step back until I see a layer that I can make peace with - true, it can be quite the process sometimes-hahahaha but I have a ready excuse, I'm only human-hahaha

well,I'm not sure I said anything that you didn't already say, in my own way-

that was quite a mouthful !!!!!

I look forward to reading your next blog

Blessings
Love

Wanita...all points well taken.
And no, I don't have a list :-)
But yes, I am angry. I think, that sometimes...that is what it takes to get you to where you are meant to be. Perhaps?

Thanks for writing.

Christine Marie said...

And THANKS to everyone who have taken a moment to comment.
More to come...perhaps?

Wow woman....when you have something to say you just say it don't you? I am sorry to hear of your loss. I agree about the Secret thing. It is only a partial truth & doesn't give us the whole picture. Sure positive thinking & affirmation statements are useful in there own right but what is it we are going after...that is the key. I have been recently reading the Conversations with God books & have seen a lot of truth in them. However I am bright enough to know that what sings truth to one soul is not the only truth there is. I must say I have been finding my new affirmation statements helping me change the way I look at life as lacking some things, getting me to believe more in abundance & dreams for the self coming into reality. But my goal is a soul journey to enlightenment. Not for possessions but for peace in my heart. I refuse to be ruled by my thoughts of fear & lacking any longer. In all of this, the one thing that has opened my eyes the most is how immensely grateful I am for all that I do have & mostly for the opportunity to be closer to God. My path of purpose is clearer to me now. I think the Secret about the Secret is that it is only a part of the whole Secret. The best part of that is knowing it really isnt a Secret at all....we have all the answers in side of us when we commune in the Christ Consciousness & remember who we truly are.

Blessed Be,
Yvonne

Yvonne, so beautifully & balanced.
Hey, I thought of you when I included Alan Parsons song...remember???

Ah, this is just what I look for in my life…SUBSTANCE!! The only thing that I have to give to the universe is what is inside of me, and what is inside of me is compassion. However my empathy only works with living organisms. To be a person that has to hold up a banner in place of where their heart should be is hiding from themselves. Could it be that life has been too tough for them to handle…that they lack the substance it takes to live a life worth living…which includes experiencing all the good, the bad, and the ugly??
