JUST A THOUGHT
In the wind of the mind
arises the turbulence called “I”.
PERCEPTION, FOCUS, AND CHOICE
How we create the experience of our reality
As Albert Einstein delighted in reminding his associates, it is impossible to solve problems at the level of their creation. What this refers to is not the need for more intelligence and information but rather an increased awareness, or consciousness. It is simply another way of expressing one of the universal truths of Creation: What you see depends on where you’re looking from. A problem persists only as long as the person experiencing it clings to his or her existing viewpoint.
Imagine you are looking at your life through a telescope…this is the only view you have at this time……..now observe how you make choices from this view, from this perspective….. what thoughts come up for you, what emotions, what does your life look like through this telescopic view……..now put the telescope to the side and look around you at a larger view/perspective ………observe any differences that you experience…….how does this larger view feel compared to the telescopic view? How do your choices change? How does your reality change?
TWO WOLVES
A Native American grandfather was talking to his
grandson about how he felt about the tragedy.
He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my
heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one.
The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one."
The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will
win the fight in your heart?"
The grandfather answered, "The one I feed."
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung
into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
--Jean Houston
Every survival kit
Should include
A sense of humor.

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT
“Many times, we are told not to feel what we really feel;
to do as we are told contrary to what we intuit.
We find ourselves ‘being’ one way and ‘doing’ something else.
Instead of being who we are, we try to be who we think we should be.
This can cause a feeling of general unhappiness with life, career, and family,
often leading to anxiety and depression.” “…life…is a living process
and a process living….evolving from the inside out.”
-----Charles D. Elias, L.C.S.W., PhD
OUR INNATE INTUITVE WISDOM
What is it and how do we access it?
We are all born with an innate intuitive wisdom. This has also been called our "gut feeling", "insight", "hunch", or "intuition". It does not originate from our thinking processes; it is an innate inner knowing.
If you so desire, try this experience and see what information comes up for you………
1. Think of a situation that is unresolved or that you may find difficult at this time.
2. Close your eyes and concentrate on the situation…….
3. Deeply feel it and all of the innuendos that it holds………
4. Feel where within your body (what part(s) of your body) you are holding these thoughts
5. Once you find the area, feel if there is an emotion that is being held in that area.
6. Name what emotions have come up for you…….fear, abandonment, anger, pain, lose of love, lose of compassion, etc.
7. Now feel if there is any information (any thoughts, feelings, senses) in that area(s) for assisting in resolving or answering your difficulty.
8. Sometimes you may find it hard to feel, sense, or get the information. It is like working a muscle that hadn't been worked for a while.....it may just take time. Be gentle with the process. The more you get in touch with this the easier it is to access.
9. Once the information comes through, you know exactly what you need to do to resolve or deal with the issue(s).
Our intuition is always there for us to access. It is constantly trying to get our attention. It might show up as pain, emotion(s), illness, dis-ease, dreams, love, compassion, etc. Once we acknowledge it (our intuition), our life changes and supports us. We know exactly what it is that we are to do, what action(s) to take……..it might even be called our guiding light within ourselves…….
Laughter is an instant vacation.

AND JUST ONE MORE THOUGHT
“JUNK DNA “
Scientists, microbiologists, and geneticists are discovering that the so-called "Junk" DNA that was disregarded for years as “doing nothing”, now shows that it might possibly hold critical clues for understanding and healing a vast range of diseases; breast cancer, HIV, Crohns disease, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, ovarian and skin cancer… the list is growing daily. A leading figure in world genetics, Prof. John Mattick, recently claimed that, "the failure to recognise the implications of the non-coding “JUNK” DNA will go down as the biggest mistake in the history of molecular biology".
