this is how imagination works

This is  what  most don’t  realize   about how they  are “working”  their   imagination.

So  I   recommend  taking a   good long  look  at this and let the  info  sink in.   And,  note that  not everyone is going to  “get” this at first. Indeed, many will  resist, and say, ” No,  this is  NOT how it works.”  To that    thought or feeling, I  encourage you testing this for yorself  and  prove it  just  like the  man in this  article did!  Because  once you do it, and  get  the result you want,  you  will  never  go  back  to the way you were!!!

Excerpt: “You may think that was not right, but who is to say what is right and what is wrong? There are only two things that displease God. One is eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil by judging what is right and what is wrong, and the other is the lack of faith in yourself!”  ~NG

“Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, and you have brought the only acceptable gift. All states of mind other than that of the wish fulfilled are an abomination; they are superstition and mean nothing.” – Neville Goddard

Assumption that what is not—IS–
is how God,
and thus we, create.!!!!

Live in the desire fulfilled — Neville Notes

Because creation is finished, what you desire already exists. It is excluded from view because you can see only the contents of your own consciousness. It is the function of an assumption to call back the excluded view and restore full vision. It is not the world, but your assumptions that change. An assumption brings […]

“The Uses of Sorrow” by Mary Oliver (and a note from Christy)

There is nothing like a poem (or poems) that make sense of things and give repose when other things are lacking in that regard.

Words for the Year

(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

“The Uses of Sorrow” by Mary Oliver, from Thirst, 2007. Beacon Press.

***

Note from Christy:

2016 was a tumultuous year. It had its share of joy, but most would agree that ’16 also had an inordinate amount of pain and loss and anxiety. It’s why I chose to leave you–for the time being–with Mary Oliver’s “The Uses of Sorrow.” My long-term readers may know that I’ve opened and closed each year with Ms. Oliver, and given the “box full of darkness” that was 2016, it felt like the right piece to close this year. We can learn from darkness. We can learn from sorrow. We can learn from grief. We may never “get over it” or “feel better,” but…

falling off…keeping on: day 22

Good to read these things from my past that worked and also to tap again to see what else is possible . now…

Kattalina's Blog

Well, today is technically Day 22 of my EFT experiment. The good news is that, despite a slew of setbacks, I have still been doing the EFT experiment, although not as intensely as I was planning. What it has come down to is, a conscious effort to do at least 5 minutes of tapping with intent of expanding my money consciousness. While a load of money has not landed in my lap (ummm, yet), a few interesting things have happened through no effort of my own. One of them being, more design work from a current client, and, my photography on an upcoming Easter card and also the cover of a catalog, as well as possibilities for another photo of mine to be in a card series for the fall.  My five minute EFT protocol, consisted simply of saying, “Even though I don’t know how this is going to happen…

world in ecstasy?

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen.Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will offer freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

~Franz Kafka

A favorite here.

I Know Someone ~ Mary Oliver

It’s Spring, and this seems appropriate. Ms. Oliver just –– nails it all. the. time. I know when I plant flowers and I witness them bloom, I admit I feel like . maybe kissing someone, if not the flower :-). Now, another book of verse that I believe I must have. ~ KMK

************************************************************************

I know someone who kisses the way
a flower opens, but more rapidly.
Flowers are sweet. They have
short, beatific lives. They offer
much pleasure. There is
nothing in the world that can be said
against them.
Sad, isn’t it, that all they can kiss
is the air.

Yes, yes! We are the lucky ones.

Not anyone who says… ~ Mary Oliver

One of my (Oliver ) favorites, discovered “by accident”. It is useful,
I have found also, to read this one aloud, even to yourself. ~KMK

********************************************************

Not anyone who says, “I’m going to be
careful and smart in matters of love,”
who says, “I’m going to choose slowly,”
but only those lovers who didn’t choose at all
but were, as it were, chosen
by something invisible and powerful and uncontrollable
and beautiful and possibly even
unsuitable —
only those know what I’m talking about
in this talking about love.

from: Felicity: Poems by Mary Oliver, Penguin Press.

Untill you’ve found pain ~Rumi

Until you’ve found pain, you won’t reach the cure
Until you’ve given up life, you won’t unite with
the supreme soul
Until you’ve found fire inside yourself, like the Friend,
You won’t reach the spring of life, like Khezr.
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

Downpour ~ Nancy Botta

I love finding poems and poets on WordPress. I have dabbled in Haiku; it’s such a simple form. Simple, not necessarily easy tho. It’s a fun thing to play with.

This poem nails the Spring and April month. 🙂 . Almost makes it a . bit easier to endure it. Everyone is restless in this month as blooms of flowers are starting slowly. BLOOM! an umbrella, a flower, a poet!

*******************************

Wet season arrives

with muddy hems and soft groans—

black umbrellas bloom.

…”love so needs to love…” RUMI

What will
our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings
should?
Will they have dreamed the needed flights and gathered
the strength from the planets that all
men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of
the earth
so that her power and beauty does not make us forget our own?
I know all about the ways of the heart – how it wants to be alive.
Love so needs to love
that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment. But the sky’s mouth is kind,
its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words.
What will our children do in the morning
if they do not see us
fly?
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

The Seed Market ~ Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

A favorite of mine. AH, the RUMI. Ever present, mindful, speaking . truth always. ~KMK

****************************************
Can you find another market like this?
Where,
with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?
Where,
for one seed
get a whole wilderness?
For one weak breath,
a divine wind?
You’ve been fearful
of being absorbed in the ground,
or drawn up by the air.
Now, your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean,
where it came from.
It no longer has the form it had,
but it’s still water
The essence is the same.
This giving up is not a repenting.
It’s a deep honoring of yourself.
When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry at once, quickly,
for God’s sake!
Don’t postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching
will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason
has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.

I’ll love you ( author unknown)

I am sorry I do not know who the author of this poem is or where I found it.

It’s simple and rings true of the depths of love , and struck me.

********************************

‘ll love you

I’ll love you, I’ll love you like I love the world
I’ll love you even if it has an end
I’ll love you, I’ll love you in deep
I’ll love you the way I am meant to love

I’ll love you whichever way I can
I’ll love you even if it doesn’t lead to peace
I’ll love you, I’ll love you for whatever time is left
I’ll love you after I’m done loving

I’ll love you, I’ll love you even if I’m dead
I’ll love you the following day as well
I’ll love you, I’ll love you the way I feel it
I’ll love you with a goodbye, with a never again

I’ll love you, I’ll love you next to the wind
I’ll love you as a unique being

II’ll love you until the end of time

the . moon luminous soul

The moon was once a moth who ran to God,
they entwined.

Now just her luminous soul remains
as we gaze at it
at night.

Rabia of Basra

As quoted in Art as a Way of Life:: But what’s wrong? What is this sadness we cannot name? Here is a question that deserves loving meditation. Perhaps the heart of our melancholy is that we miss the person we were meant to be. We miss our authentic selves. But the good news is that even if you have ignored its overtures for decades, your authentic self has not abandoned you. Instead it has been waiting patiently for you to recognize it and reconnect. Turn away from the world this year and begin to listen. Listen to the whispers of your heart. Look within. – Sarah Ban Breathnach, from Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy

“Perhaps all pleasure is only relief”

~ William S. Burroughs (Junky)

the invisible miracle(s)

“Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.”

so true, on many levels…~ KMK

Cure . for sadness ~ RUMI

I know a cure for sadness:
Let your hands touch something that
makes your eyes
smile.

I bet there are a hundred objects close by
that can do that.

Look at
beauty’s gift to us –
her power is so great she enlivens
the earth, the sky, our
soul.

Ah, the . RUMI. just what . needed to . float . across the facebook tonight. ~KMK

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” ~ Rumi

and this too :

I want to say words that flame
as i say them,
but I keep quiet and don’t try
to make both worlds fit in one mouth.

forceful thoughts

having to think those ” forceful” thoughts today. However I prefer the word “persistent”. We must be persistent and stay in the state of the realized fantasy without exception. ~KMK

Kattalina's Blog

this  bit is from an article  that I read  some years ago,  and  it  is worth sharing  and  repeating.

“Learn to substitute the  positive dream  for the negative dream.  The most important thing  that the mind   has to understand   is that  fantasy and reality  are not very different.  When your  fantasies gain enough strength to  become reality  within    your own consciousness, there will be    no distinction between     fantasy and reality.  Fantasy  is  phenomenon   that is  not yet  realized.  Reality  is  a realized fantasy.

If things do not happen,   it is   because  your thoughts  of  manifestation  lack force.   You  have to create  forceful thoughts  that will stay  longer in   your consciousness.  Continually  think  forceful thoughts.   Think forceful thoughts over and over  and over again  for long periods of time.    Then those    thoughts will  become   very  powerful,  and the  manifestation  will occur sooner.”

The New Rule ; Rumi

“It’s the old rule that drunks have to argue
and get into fights.
The lover is just as bad. He falls into a hole.
But down in that hole he finds something shining,
worth more than any amount of money or power.

Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street.
I took it as a sign to start singing,
falling up into the bowl of the sky.
The bowl breaks. Everywhere is falling everywhere.
Nothing else to do.

Here’s the new rule: break the wineglass,
and fall toward the glassblower’s breath.” ~ Rumi

Heart~ Marc Chagall

If I create  from the heart,   nearly  everything works;

if  from the head,    almost  nothing.

~  Marc  Chagall

********************

This is  always true.    I  have found that, on   any    project that I might be working on,   and even if  I  am  bored with it,  if  I   find  some  sense of   “heart”,  things   shift for the better.   Way  back when,  when I had  my   gardening  business,   on the  days that were the   boring or more   challenging  days,  for  eg, if  the weather was  crappy or  if  my  design wasn’t  looking that great,  I  would  step  back  and   find   SOMETHING,  to   engage my heart with.  It   could be as  simple as  seeing  a  butterfly  or  even watching  a   bird or the   squirrels  chatter  at  each other.  So  simple,    and     profound, this shifting of the  mind  and  heart.  ~KMK
