We would like to share with you insights and words
that have been shared wth us
by the Angels and other great teachers
on our path.
Hope you enjoy them and perhaps give you pause to think.
We only plant the seed.
The rest is up to you.
Present
The past is history
the future is a mystery
and this moment is a gift
That is why this moment is called the present
If you embrace the present,
merge with it,
you will experience a fire, a glow, a spark of ectasy
As you begin to experience this exhilarating spirit in everything that is alive,
as you become intimate with it,
joy will be born within you.
You will drop the burden of defensiveness and hurtfulness
and
you will become light hearted
When you become defensive or blame others,
your life will meet with resistance.
Do not stand rigid like a tall Oak,
instead be flexible like the Bamboo.
Do not defend your point of view.
When you have no point to defend,
you will not allow the birth of an arguement.
Only then do you fully experience the present.
As Dictated to Julie Flaherty by Joseph
When a gift is given
Honor the giver and receive with gratitude
You will send a message to the universe
that you are open to receive abundance
in all things inclucing healing in any form
.
There are those who complain because God puts thorns on roses,
While others praise Him for putting roses amoung the thorns.
A woman cannot directly choose her circumstances but she can choose her thoughts.
Change of diet will not help a woman who will not change her thoughts.
When a woman makes her thought pure, she no longer desires impure.
A woman must conceive of a legitimate purpose in her heart and set out to accomplish it.
She who cherishes a lofty ideal in her heart will one day realize that ideal.
Cherish your visions - cherish your ideals.
To desire is just to obtain
To aspire is to achieve
Ask and you receive
Dream lofty dreams and as you dream so shall you become.
Your vision is the promise of what you shall be.
Your ideal of the prophecy of what you at last unveil
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The Oak sleeps in the Acorn
The bird waits in the egg.......
and in the highest vision of the soul waking an Angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities
You cannot travel within and stand still without
Whatever your circumstance you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts and vision.
You will become as small and as controlling as your desire or as great as your aspiration

The Turtle's Journey
The wind blew on the backs of the three turtles, pushing them along
...gracefully and not so gracefully
The wind surrounded these young creatures, keeping them close
together on their path to the sea.
The wind narrowed to the back of the eldest turtle pushing him
forward to lead his sisters to the sea awaiting them.
The wind... the not so graceful wind..grew stronger and stronger
behind the eldest turtle.
The wind blew with unknown force and pushed the turtle so far
ahead that his two sisters could no longer see him in the horizon.
The wind had showed him the sea far before his sisters'.
The wind...the graceful wind did not leave behind the sisters
of this wise turtle.
The wind behind their brother's back left them with his trail
in the sand so that they too would someday find the sea...
Where he awaits............

We dedicate this to our loved Rinpoche
We have the answers
You have the questions
Here are the answers
He that is hers shall not be until she is hers.
These questions you have asked are the questions of your own heart and therefore will bring to you those of like heart.
When it is time to let go and the moment is resisted you will be burdoned with more of the same.
Until the war is over, everything fighting within is simply a puppet of your mind activated by that in you which cannot take flight and wishes to do so. Until your own hands stop moving the strings of these puppets and start feeling the higher power, you will be bound to past thoughts and emotions tethering you to a decaying tree.
Cut these strings and fly.

Letter from a new Friend
In the Presence of the Divine
Hi Joan
My near death experience occured three years ago, after a seriously challenging chemo treatment, I became quite ill and developed an infection. As the illness progressed, I laspsed into unconsciousness. My first memory of that time was feeling warm and soft. I was unable to perceive anything harsh or loud. I felt myself gently floating and moving forward. There was an ovewhelming sense of joy and peace. I moved through a dimly lit place, through a passage and gradually into a place of indescribable light. I found myself in the presence of the Divine ( a faceless entity, but I knew it was God).
I felt unconditional love in such a way that I cannot find words adequate enough to define the sense, I knew I never never wanted to return...........
When in the presence of God, I had the opportunity to see every small moment of my life, every every thought, every word, every action, every facial expression. I knew that I was part of the total mind set, for lack of a better word, of God's Plan.
I saw the lines of energy attached to each second of my life. My mind was expanded to comprehend and understand things no earthly brain could begin to feel or know. I felt every moment of pain I caused just by a thought. I also felt and saw every act of kindness, and how that affected each person I encountered. It was beyond convention to see, feel, know and be part of all the smallness as well as all of the goodness my soul had placed upon the earth. So many people were impacted. I am very lucky that I was able to return, (even though I did NOT want to return) with just a modicum of understanding of how important love and kindness is. For that reason Joan, I now follow my heart..........
Blessings to you Joan and that labyrinth. By the way, I knew you were very real Mark
Thoughts become words
Words become actions
Actions become habits
Habits become destiny
Choose well.
Flowers do not force their way with great strife..........
Flowers open to perfection slowly in the sun.........
Don't be in a hurry about spiritual matters.........
Go step by step and be very sure.........
White Eagle
For every minute you are angry,
You lose 60 seconds of happiness
Find the perfection in the imperfection
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered
Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
Be kind anyway
If you are successful, you will win false friends and some true enemies
Succeed anyway
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you
Be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building, someone may destroy oveernight
Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous
Be happy anyway
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow
Do Good anyway
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough
Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, in the final analysis it is all between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway
Mother Teresa of Calcutta 1947 lived by these words
We have an Angel whom we call Jon Jackson.
Each one of my Angels has a sign. So I asked Him what his sign was. He said He had to think long and hard.
After repeatedly asking Him what his sign was He told us it was Red Ruby Shoes.
It took us over a year to find some of the symbology for his choice. Finally, you wear shoes to walk your path..Shoes have souls. Shoes have heels to "heal" the soul.
When he has a message for me, there are shoes in my dream.
I love Him so!!!!
I use shoes to decorate around the Inn as a symbology for your walk on your path.
Buried within your spirit is a treasure chest of light filled with all human emotions
When you do not open the chest you deny your ability to live
In living, each tear drop from sadness becomes the water nourishing the seed
In living, each smile and tender thought becomes the root from which love is born
In living, we learn to love
In loving, we learn to live
Do not live free of these experiences and feelings
It would be as if your world only contained black and white
Welcome the colors of my rainbow
Feel all the feelings in my rainbow
Step away from what you know and become what you do not know
I am with you
I am with the one you love
Together you journey to understand the love of God, the Master and the love of self
Do not be afraid my two, your prayers are with me and are answered
Live beyond what is in your mind
To each of you, open the treasure chest within
It is there
Love is more than human definition, know this-find this
I am with you"

I just found this site.
If you know someone who needs transportation help because of cancer, you may wish to look at this site
A number of years ago Julie said, "The Angels said to go to the auction and there will be something of St Theresa for you."
I went to the auction as I have always done and looked and looked for something that was something that was about St Theresa. I expected perhaps a night light because I have found those many times at auction. Perhaps a pink rose or a book.
Nothing could I find.
Then I went to the back room.
There was a lady looking through a stack of pictures leaning against the wall. As I glanced over at her hunting - there She was!
This picture. When it came to bid on her it seemed as if everyone was silenced! I got her and brought her home.
I have more stories and hope for even more as my life unfolds.
Saint Therese
A deep love of life does not come to you easily.
It grows as you learn to understand your inner self, emotions and the forces that shaped you.
The word Buddha is to awaken, to awaken your search.
The gospel of Thomas, the words of Jesus, informs us Whosoever has not known himself knows nothing, he who has known himself has already understood the depth of all things".
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away
Joseph
"I have not the courage to search through books for beautiful prayers.......
Unable either to say them all or choose between them,
I do as a child would do who cannot read ----
I say just what I want to say to God, quite simply, and
He never fails to understand."
St Therese of Lisieux

Angels Abound
Turtles remind us that the way to heaven is through the earth. In Mother Earth is all that we need. She will care for us, protect us, and nurture us, as long as we do the same for her. For that to happen, we must slow down and heighten our sensibilities. We must see the connection to all things. Just as the turtle cannot separate itself from its shell, neither can we separate ourselves from what we do to the Earth.
