Day 55, Friday, October 1, 2010

Greetings and salutations!

A new month has begun.  Ten is my lucky number.

And after 54 days, half this journey has already ended.  The second half is beginning.  Kind of exciting.

You may wish to ask me why?  Maybe you don't.

I feel like I really do have some great forward motion going on in my life.  And this may sound a bit snobby, but in a way the most important being that needs to feel this way for it to have a positive impact on me loving and enjoying my life more and more each day is ME!

At this point, too, it seems only natural to reassess a bit.  It occurred to me that I couldn't have been more clear with myself that my focus was to be me thinking, seeing, feeling, etc. me as Divine.  In that sense if I were grading myself, I would have to say I have failed.

However, if I substitute the word "divine" for the word "love", then I feel I am making great progress.  What has really inspired me is the book, "The Power" by Rhonda Byrne.  If you go to page 118 to about page 121, it almost makes me feel like what I would rather amend the last half of this journey to is "Lori's Love Log".  In other words, how much love will I see, feel, be, think, etc. in these last fifty-four days?  How ooey-gooey and firmly entrenched in this vibe will I allow myself to become?  And then when it seems like I am really dripping deliciously in loves vibration, might I amp this frequency to an even more intense feeling of love?  How good can I feel?  How much can I allow myself to authentically feel I love my life and everyone and everything?  How much love can I give?  How much love will I allow myself to receive?  How much can I adore everyone and everything about my life, including me?  Me, living and loving my charmed life.

And I'd love to give this the same sort of focused attention that I am giving to morphing my physical body temple from the 216 pounds I was clocked in at the end of August, 2010 to the physical body temple I love and adore even if it takes me another eight months.

As a side note, Kelly Osbourne was speaking about her weight loss.  She mentioned that when she was on Dancing With the Stars it was the first time she'd ever felt like she properly lost weight (which she meant as eating more healthfully and exercise).  She liked how it made her feel.  Yet, it has taken her 18 months total she said to get to the place where she is now.  And she does look fabulous.

You know, Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson), has a lyric in his song, "Beautiful, Loved, Blessed" where he refers to the physical body temple as being a piece of clay in need of a potters hand.  It has taken me until this summer to really "get it" that each of us deserves a physical body temple that is self-pleasing and we have all the perfect intelligence built-in to each and every cell of our physical body temple to be in a continuous state of well-being.

What I am trying to say is if you have a body you don't authentically love how it looks (and that you love how it looks is most important because then you will not only think others love how it looks...even if they don't, you won't care because you do), it isn't something you have to settle for.  It isn't something being done to you or some sort of punishment for you to learn a lesson (unless, of course you believe it is and then it will be).

Like the statue of David by Michaelangelo which took three years to sculpt, I feel like once someone has arrived at the mindset the sculpting of ones physical body temple will take some time and effort, you have reached a place where you are working with yourself instead of battling yourself about the process.  Chances are you will be much more likely then to succeed.

Keep Dreamin' Til Your Dreams Come True
I love my life.

Beginning of Week 6, September 12, 2010

Yo!

What should I write today?

I really simply wish to include the below video from Abraham Hicks about the year 2012.

Today is considered International Angel Day according to Doreen Virtue.  I love watching her daily oracle card videos.  It makes me feel sort of like all the angelic kingdom is cheering me on.  And I love that today's card is "Believe and Trust".  Archangel Michael, please enter my dreams and remove fear.  Trust the messages that come through.  Trust the ideas that come to my heart.

I have been doing the decrees and declarations every day (to see them visit my blog post from Day 25, God Bless You).  I have been loving that I am doing them first with myself in mind, then rereading them with my boyfriend in mind (I change the "I" as I read to his name) and then I read them and change the "I" to "Every Child of God".

In the process, I am noticing how much I actually during the course of the day tend to see other children of God as being less than the Divine Truth of who they are (just as I do with me and my boyfriend).  What will my life be like when I ONLY see them as being equal to their Divine Truth (and me and my boyfriend)?

And I love as I have been pondering these thoughts that in a way I know it will be awesome and amazing for me in my life when I arrive at this "ONLY" place...yet there appears to be no hurry about it.  I am at peace with simply allowing myself to make these decrees and declarations once a day and letting the power of their vibration change my consciousness one step at a time (so to speak), especially considering that even though this is already the beginning of week 6, I still have about ten more weeks to go before I finish with this particular Divine Focus Journey.

I love what Abraham Hicks says about this being an expanding experience.

Here's today's quote from their website:
     "Genius.  It is just attention to something specific.  That's all it is.  LAW OF ATTRACTION makes it happen, and so anyone who gives attention to any subject for a period of time will evolve in the direction of that understanding."

In my opinion what Ms. Hicks mentions is pretty much like saying as long as I keep my vision focused on Divine Truth (which includes joy, love and appreciation...blessings) the sky is the limit for the blessings which may and will be experienced on this glorious planet hand-in-hand with beloved Mother Earth.

Speaking of which, I take this moment to connect my heart with the heart of Mother Earth and send her some love and appreciation for all the ways she allows us to experience spirit in form by being in her presence.  I love you, Mother Earth.

Double speaking of which, I take this next moment to connect my heart with the heart of all who end up reading my blog.  For in Truth there is no space or time.  So when you connect with this, you connect with me and then we are sharing each others presence.  So I thank you for sharing with me.  I feel blessed and honored to share your presence.  I love you.

Here's the Abraham Hicks video:

Thermometer, Day 29, Sunday, September 5, 2010

So, another day in paradise? 

Last night I had a little incident and this morning I knew things could be a little unsettling on the home front.  As I was in bed pondering getting up, I was thinking about all of this and realizing I can be the thermometer.  By this I mean I have set my thermostat to divine, blessed and love.  If things seem to dip to something less than that then as quickly as possible my thermostat kicks in.  My HVAC sets in motion what it needs to do energetically to bring me back to feeling divine, blessed and love.  This isn't normally how I might have "played" this game of life.  It's how I desire to play it now.

Ms. Byrne, in her book "The Power" has a section where she mentions she thinks of our brother and sister children of God as PETs, Personal Emotional Trainers.  As much as I am not happy for a blip in the road with an unsettling situation, I may be happy that it allows me the ability to practice my mastery and see just how committed I am to my journey.

And with that I will continue on in paradise today seeking to feel as divine, loved and blessed as I am able to be conscious to be in every given, glorious moment of now.  Every moment I have the choice to feel any feeling I desire and I am not obligated (as much as collective consciousness might wish for me to feel otherwise) to feel anything I do not desire to feel.

May the blessings be.

Day 25, God Bless You, September 1, 2010

So...my aunt and uncle had a garage sale last Saturday.  One of the things they were selling was this Louise Hay "You Can Heal Your Life" kit (for lack of a better word) that I had given them almost five years ago.

What is interesting to me with my new found understanding of the Law of One, is how much I would see everyone who didn't appear to be on the spiritual path and seemed less than healthy and perfect well-being in manifestation, well, I thought I was serving them by pointing out to them they needed to get on the spirituality train.

I see now how this has a few flaws.  First, I am seeing them not as the truth of who they are: Divine Children of the Mother/Father God.  Second, I am somehow also affirming something is wrong with their life.  And I have to say that one thing I really don't like to experience is someone else telling me how my life is somehow wrong.  What if it is not?  And technically no one's life is wrong because their life presents perfectly based on the thoughts and feelings they present to presence.

It is certainly an affirmation for simply being who I desire to be (Divine) and then if someone says to me that they see how my life is working and they wish to emulate that, "what am I doing?"  Then that is the time to share with them what I am doing.  Otherwise it is simply for me to love them.  Okay, these are my beliefs currently.

What I find interesting is that there is a Master who mentioned the only "I AM" phrase a Master would ever utter is "I AM Blessed."

And I say that because it is interesting how we may have prejudices we don't even realize.  Take Joel Osteen for instance.  In a way he does not fit my idea of a "New Age" messenger.  Yet, what I share with you at the end of this blog post is based on something Joel Osteen wrote on the subject declaring blessings.

So as I have been declaring these blessings in my life the last couple of days since finding the paper I left for my Aunt and Uncle in the "kit", I find it interesting how I somehow understood the value of declaring these blessings, yet I didn't trust them enough to really commit to them any more than my aunt and uncle obviously trusted the declarations or the "kit" would make a beneficial change in what shows up in their life.

As I was repeating these declarations this morning it occurred to me that not only does one need to trust making these declarations will bring them to pass in manifestation in one's life, but it probably makes a difference if then one begins to look for the evidence of them manifesting (attention) instead of looking for evidence that  the declarations will have no positive effect in their life.  Anyway, it just seems a little psycho for one to declare blessings and then look for evidence that they are in fact not blessed and then wonder where all the blessing are at as they are not "receiving" blessings?  What sort of crazy mixed up message does that send to the Universe?

And now...ta da...without further ado...here are the declarations (as you are declaring and decreeing, you may wish to imagine that the very voice, power, love and light of Mother/Father God are included...are present as you state these declarations - similar to the way Jesus, the Christ was able to create for Jesus, the Christ had 100% knowing and confidence that the word creates...that the word like a seed contained the very vibration necessary to create in manifestation what the word describes...AND you may wish to make these declarations from the perspective of YOU as your own Higher Self, your Christ Self...your Self that is a contemporary with Jesus, the Christ...all He can do You can and more...as it is written)  God Bless YOU:

• I declare and decree: I AM valuable to All That Is.  I AM loved by All That Is.
• I declare and decree:  Mother/Father God has a great plan for MY life today and every day.
• I declare and decree:  I have the favor of Mother/Father God in my life NOW (always did).

• I declare and decree:  I AM excited about this moment, today and my future.
• I declare and decree:  Every day I AM more and more in perfect harmony with my Higher Self.  Thus, I AM more and more an expression in physical manifestation of the Glory of my Higher Self.
• I declare and decree: Mother/Father God's goodness in my life right now.  This is my experience.  I AM blessed.
• I declare and decree: Mother/Father God's face is smiling on me...loving me...blessing me.  This is not bragging.  Simply Mother/Father God's message that we are blessed when we declare it is so.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed with Mother/Father God's supernatural wisdom.  I have clear direction for my life now.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed with creativity and courage, with ability, health, wealth, well-being and abundance.

• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed with an open and loving heart and with a divine outlook on life.
• I declare and decree:  any curse EVER spoken over me, any negative, disharmonious vibration (in whatever form) that has come against me, is dissolved right now, including the ones I have spoken about myself.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed in the city and the country, in the world and the Universe.  I AM blessed when I go in and when I come out.  I AM blessed and a blessing to Mother/Father God.  Being blessed in...I am blessed in physical manifestation, as well.
• I declare and decree:  EVERYthing I  touch is prospering and succeeding NOW (even if I only touch it with my thoughts, words, heart or love).
• I declare and decree:   I AM blessed by living and enjoying my life which is in complete, total and harmonious alignment with my divine life purpose.  I love this about my life.  My life is truly blessed, as AM I.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed with glorious, divine, amazing, wonderful fiscal fitness and physical fitness in my life that I love.  I AM the glorious, perfect expression of my Divine Being in body, mind, spirit, soul, love, blessings, health, wealth, well-being and manifestation.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed with an abundant flow of cash, money and wealth (which are simply spirit in form) to me, for me, for my enjoyment and all the amazing, blessed things I may exchange money for while I enjoy my earth journey.  I AM blessed with more and more money coming to me from many different streams from the ONE SOURCE of ALL THAT IS: millions and millions.  This may seem like a lot of money, yet I vow not to lend or borrow.  A home may have an investment value of a million dollars or more.  I know I AM blessed enough that Mother/Father God would love for me to own my home and any other physical item that is joy and love to me.  This may seem like a lot of money, yet SOURCE is unlimited...the epitome of wealth...forever blessed circulating with love.  It feels so GREAT and I feel so very, very blessed to have my mind in perfect divine harmony NOW with Divine Mind's wealth consciousness.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed to be experieincing the full integration of my I AM Presence NOW.  I AM blessed to be experiencing my SELF within the heart of Mother/Father God.  I AM blessed to be experiencing my SELF as one with all life.  I AM blessed to be experiencing my SELF with my 12-strand DNA activated to the maximum cosmic law will allow in any given, glorious present moment of NOW.
• I declare and decree:  I AM blessed to be experieincing my SELF as my true puzzle piece NOW within the collective as this world leader and ambassador of Light, which is simply another word for Divine Love.  I AM blessed to be experiencing my SELF in service to all life while a little surprised at how GREAT it feels to be doing so.  My Divine Embodiment is ALL THAT I AM.  Happy...happy...joy...joy! 
• I declare and decree:  I AM deliciously blessed NOW and always by Mother/Father God, the Universe, Mother Earth, the Archangelic League of Light, the Ascended Masters and ALL THAT IS.
• I declare and decree:  I have learned to speak blessings over my life, my friends and my future...for as the Law of One states: it doesn't matter who I declare blessing over, declaring for another is like declaring for self.
• I declare and decree: I receive these words with love and appreciation into my being NOW.  I allow them to penetrate and enlighten my heart and mind with Divine Love.  As these declarations more and more become the reality of my inner being, they more and more become the reality of my outer physical being and experience.  Thank You, Mother Earth for allowing me to enjoy your physical being.
• NOW I know Mother/Father God provides EVERYTHING I desire for me to live my life FULL of abundance, full of providence promised me.  Having declared and decreed these blessings, the blessings must be.  Thank You, Mother/Father God.  And so it is!

Dream On, Day 24

Today's angel message: enjoy every present moment.

So, I haven't felt the need to share for a couple of days.  I was on such a love bubble Friday.  This morning I awoke feeling fairly blissful only to take a look at my mail and find a little something that showed up I wasn't so crazy about.

Here's where following the path of mastery helps.  I have so many choices as to how I may perceive this situation.  And I have so many choices as to how I would love to see (create, expect) this situation be resolved (reSOLVED).  Even though one part of my being initially viewed this as something to be not so crazy about, what if like in the book, "The Power" I choose to see it as a blessing.

The "situation" had to do with my bank account.  I've been listening to the "M Power Me" (video posted earlier on this blog).  Words from the video filtered through my being.  Presence responds to everything presented to it (all my thoughts and feelings) and I mean everything.  I could see over the last couple of weeks the many times that despite understanding this I had still been thinking/feeling thoughts of lack.  I also heard the words from it, "I AM an excellent money manager".

Truth is I technically did everything right to not warrant an overdraft.  The breakdown was that I thought my agreement with the person I sent the check to on when she could present it was apparently not clear.  Also, my understanding the bank will accept checks even if they are post dated was not clear.  Here's one place I feel I may be proud of me, I was not in this to place blame, but simply to find a solution.  The answer is always love and blessings.

What sustained me the most is I really had acted in full faith and as an excellent money manager and I had proof of this to present to the banker.  I made sure to send love to the entire situation.  I chose to see this as a blessing, especially since I saw how my thoughts and feelings helped create this.  It was helping me see on a very conscious level how much I still am carrying poverty consciousness...and that is so not my desire.  While I know I may ask for Divine help and Divine Intervention to assist me with being more in harmony with wealth consciousness...still I AM the ultimate be all/end all as to choosing what thoughts to think or feelings to feel.  This is where the mastery comes in.  This is where being more conscious...more awake comes in.

This is in no way to say I am right or wrong OR that anyone reading this needs to feel right or wrong about being more awake...more conscious.  It's more to say that every moment we are effecting presence with our vibration.  We are free to offer any vibration to presence with no judgment.  It's just that if we say we desire "x" but aren't willing to be vigilant that our thoughts and feelings are in harmony with our desire...well, then we aren't being an excellent thought/feeling manager is all.  God is going to love us unconditionally and divinely regardless.

As I sat in the bank waiting to speak to a banker, I was simply thinking and feeling thoughts of blessings and wealth for the bank, myself and everyone in the bank.  And thank you so much to the banker who helped me.  He listened and he did reverse my overdraft charge.

I have to say that I noticed there is a lot of distrust energy around banks.  They don't trust their clients and most clients think they are simply out to gouge them.  What if more people could bless and love this relationship and bless and love the services the banks provide?  I'm just sayin'!

Anywhoo...if you are reading this, you most likely know this blog is about my 108-day journey of being focused on divinity.  I AM Divine and I AM in harmony with all that means.  I wrote I would continue to declare and decree "I AM Divine" until this becomes my manifest experience.  So, I was tickled when I heard the song by Aerosmith, "Dream On" on the radio as I was returning home.  I "heard" the lyric "dream until your dreams come true" as if they were written specifically for me.

This thought moved my mind to something I read written by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.  Mr. Hubbard was a champion for arts and artists.  There are some amazing Scientology buildings in the Hollywood area.  They also have occasional seminars.  I took a beginning class.  Wasn't really for me.  Yet, I must say that one thing I do admire about Mr. Hubbard's teaching was his understanding of the power of clarity to the extent he would define words in his text to ensure all who read them were on the same page as he.  Taking the class put me on their mailing list.  Even though I have asked to be removed, I still receive magazines and such from them.  Somtimes, I'll page through and see if there is an L. Ron Hubbard article.  One article mentioned much the same thing and corresponds to Deepak Chopra's quote, "Inherent in the desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment."  In other words, every desire is manifestable.

I may create a physical life that is in harmony with Divine Love, moment-to-moment.  I simply must stay aligned with this...keep dreaming until my dreams come true.

Which had me pondering how much we are all willing to stay in disharmony with love...almost as if the "Light" is to be feared...almost as if too much love is something to be afraid of or worry about.  Which had me pondering why it seems "okay" to create something seemingly "bad" or "unwanted" with our thoughts and feelings, but somehow it is not okay to create something "good" or "desired" simply with our thoughts and feelings?  Almost like we deserve the bad more than we deserve the good.

Yet the truth is we are always creating with our thoughts and feelings.  And God has never said we have to think more bad thoughts and thoughts about what we don't want, etc.  I am entitled to expect money to flow to me easily and effortlessly (leaving the how to the Universe) as much as I am entitled to expect no money to come to me except in certain very limited ways...you know I've jumped through this hoop or that, I have earned it, I deserve it, blah, blah, blah.  I am entitled to vision myself with all the cash I desire and more (leaving the how to the Universe) knowing as I place this vision into presence it manifests in the same sort of way that placing visions of lack into presence manifest lack for me.

The Universe doesn't interpret presence any more than my laptop knows what to present on my screen if I didn't direct it to present on my screen.

Which got me to thinking why we are such a people of questioning our desires.  It seems to me that most desires occur because we on some level feel like it would be wonderful to experience that desire.  How do we know if that desire would feel joyful unless we experience it.  If we experience and it isn't joyful, shouldn't we cease defining that as a failure or a mistake?  Wouldn't truth be more that we thought we would enjoy it and we didn't for whatever reason.  And it wasn't a waste of time.  We are eternal.  And in a way, time well spent that we now know this was not joy for us and so we may move to the next thing we desire we feel may be joy to us.

Well, this is getting long.  I feel like I said all I desired to.

I appreciate all the help and support I receive.  I am thrilled I have the opportunity to try out the wii fit.  I manifest all I desire through love.  I AM Blessed.  And so it is.

I am the Glory of God in perfect expression.  I thank God and All That Is for helping me return to the perfection from which I was originally created...Mother/Father God's Divine Blueprint for me.  And thank you, Mother Earth, for allowing me to experience divinity/spirit in physical manifestation with you.

I AM blessed and so it is.

Day 17, Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - Full Moon

Today's insight seems to be the following:

I have it backwards.

I determine whether I am good enough or worthy enough, etc. based on what I have and what I am doing in the moment in terms of collective consciousness...current societal mores and the like.

Truth is...I AM THAT I AM!  I AM Divine.  I AM BLESSED.

In other words, I am not a well-being because of what I eat...I am a well-being because I AM THAT I AM, a Divine, Beloved, Blessed Child of God.

In other words, I am not wealthy, rich, abundant, unlimited, Co-Creator, etc. 'cuz of what I do or what I have...I AM THAT I AM!!!  I love me.  I love Mother/Father God.  I love Mother Earth.  I love the ONE I AM unconditionally.  I AM BLESSED!  I AM wealthy, rich, abundant, unlimited, Co-Creator because I AM Divine NOW...eternal...Bliss.

As I see me, know me, experience me as this truth...Being Divine...I AM.

Be still and know...God and I are ONE.

Thus, anytime I judge myself as "less than" in thought, word or deed, I AM not seeing myself as Divine.  That is sin.  That is the sin Don Miguel Ruiz refers to in his book, The Four Agreements.  And anytime I look at another child of God and think they are judging me as "less than" in thought, word or deed, I AM not seeing myself as Divine.  (Seriously, how do I know what they are thinking about me?)  Plus, I AM not honoring their divinity by assuming they see me as "less than".  AND...if that weren't enough...when I look at them and see anything "less than" their divine truth, I have lost my focus for keeping my attention on Divine Love.

I won't go into any details about why I ended up at the Self-Realization Fellowship Center in Pacific Palisades, but I was there.  It was here that I noticed how I judged others as thinking certain things about me which were "less than" the truth of me.

In this very peaceful place, it occurred to me that if I would simply see each person I encounter as Divine and pretend I recognize their 3-fold flame heart (see picture above) in them without any attention on what they may be thinking of me.

I am having an "issue" with another and wish to transcend it in the most divine way possible.  I understand I have my free will and they have theirs.  I give Doreen Virtue credit for her "loop hole" of free will overlap.  If anothers free will overlaps with mine, I may ask for Divine Intervention and ask for us to go forth making free will choices based on the highest version of love we are able to embody for the Highest Good of all.

And so I make this my formal request to the Ascended Masters, the Archangels and other Christed Beings of Light who may assist for this to be so in this situation.

Here is something I also noticed.  I ask for help but then I may go right back and place my attention on the "situation" as it was without keeping my attention focused on divine love like I have chosen.  So it is with much love, honor and respect I ask for help in assuming that if I asked, it is re-solved.  The "disharmony" has been tuned to Divine Harmony.

I guess that is enough for today.

Thank you to all who have assisted me.

Thanks for the message "Going the Distance"
Thanks for the message "continue listening to the guidance of the Ascended Masters they're helping me manifest a meaningful career with financial abundance which fulfills my Divine Life Purpose".  This is a current desire for me, as is my re-solving my truth about money, wealth and abundance to be that which is the same as Divine Truth. 

Thank you, God and the Universe...and to me.  Always remember in all of this, I AM Divine.  I am not better than another or less than another...I AM an equal child of God...and so I AM Blessed.

Day 15, Sunday, August 22, 2010

I am appreciative to Anada L.A. Org for the event they are having this evening at the Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood to hear Swami Kriyananda speak.  Since I am taking the Metro and it should be well attended, it should probably take up most of the rest of my day.

I am blessed.

And so it is.

Also, I find it very synchronistic that two days in a row (today and tomorrow as I write this) the Doreen Virtue cards are today, God, which is another way to say Love or Light.  So today's focus is Love and God...all day.  Monday's card is "See Only Love".  Talk about Divine Focus.  Look past the seeming errors, mistakes and misunderstandings and see only love.  I love it.  Love is always the answer.  Focus on love.

She has a great suggestion, if we find ourselves in a place where we aren't feeling very loving, talk to the angels:
     "Angels, please ignite the flames of love within me.  Help the love within me to glow and bring blessings to everyone with whom I come into contact.  Help my mind, my body and all my actions to be completely infused with and acting from that place of love.  Help me to feel that love and accept that love and to know I deserve love in all ways and so it is."

Have a beautiful loving day.  Remember we are focused on love.
