Everything Is Spiritual

[Leila]

Beloved Sister Julia,

I love the story of caterpillars!!

I like to believe that we all are those few beings who step out of the line, and find freedom, achievement, and success.

Many thanks for sharing, and expect more.

Endless Love to You, and deep Thanks for all you do!

Embrace you lovingly,

Leila

Oh wow Julia,

Spain you say?

Your Caterpillar story reminded me of this poem by Robert Frost:


Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.

A verse filled with insight applied to my life story. So highly recommended by me - the less traveled road - however a word of caution: be prepared, gather strength and expect the unexpected. Then, all you need to do is: enjoy the ride.


I think there's never been a better time than these to be a woman

Endless Love to You, and deep Thanks for all you do!

Endless love to you as well, I truly appreciate your loving presence Leila. And I am tickled to observe you are InJoying your new room as hostess in the Unconditional Love thread. Just did not want to interrupt your flow with Larry going on in there.

Oh wow Julia,

Spain you say?

Laura, I love this poem by Robert Frost too. Thank you for the link. We do recognize the road less traveled because we are blazing new trails and we have the leaves and twigs stuck in our hair to show for it, not to mention the bumps, scratches and bruises!!

A man once said to me, 'Julia, independence is hard.' I shook my head and said, 'it is worth it when freedom is always pulsing through your veins.'

Yes Spain!! Ocean and beaches and ... oh my best to appreciate where I am in this moment.

I agree there has never been a better time to be alive!

InJoying the ride with you both and All,

To our never~ending story,

With Loving embrace,

Julia

Dear Julia

I have recently found this link:


http://brontebaxter.wordpress.com/blowing-the-whistle-on-enlightenment-chpt-8-catching-more-flies-with-honey-how-love-and-oneness-teachings-are-used-to-disempower/


What do you make of this?

It has surely put me off Buddhism and Tao. 

I have read other parts of the site , and don't agree with everything... of course, 

But, this person Bronte is saying that we are blindly following a path of "new-age" stuff...!!!

I would absoulutely love everyones opinion here.

It has put me off Tao, can u believe it, I was just starting to get interested, but then I found that there are over 40 interpretations.
( The two books I mentioned in my 'Tao thread ' were completely different... how on earth can I comprehend reading over 40 books ?? ) I have given up on Tao for now, just for now, I may come back to it..

This site I put in says we are from Source, and Source wants us all to be individuals and that ego is not bad. 

I am getting frustrated from all this duality of thought.

I am not mad about this site, but it does make one pause for thought, no?

I have never followed guru's...

I would just love some opinions here

Love

Freedom in love and light

Hi Freedom,

Must be our day.    Same applies here as in my prior post to you, in another topic. More to this than greets ones eye. That 'Ego' stuff.
Be Well

Good Morning Freedom,

I actually InJoyed it very much. The beauty is being able to read or view anything and not necessarily agree with everything someone thinks or says.

You know what speaks to you and you only.

I have to say I agree with her on enjoying our individuality. I can see in reading her thoughts that this is where language can be misinterpreted or twisted, just another one's way of saying the same idea or thing.

She speaks of surrender as being the death to the Spirit. In my way, surrender is what leads to the Oneness she speaks of at the end of her blog. As in total acceptance of One Self and so I am not worried about what that means to another. It's allowed or opened for all and each one. Surrender is my idea or way of saying let go of all judgments. And that includes our ideas of what we think 'God' is.

This limits 'God' and us.

And the views of love are very thought provoking which I personally like because it stretches us and opens us to being open and not boxed into our idea of what love means. As in never saying something that many would define as unloving. According to whom? You see where I am going?

I truly feel that we must relax and go with the flow. We are all given everything in every moment, no one is left out or you would not be here, it's just accepting (surrendering to) this knowing and living from this knowing in each moment. Being in it. Otherwise, it is like telling another how to breathe! Or that we don't like the way they do breathing.  

Love says yes and no and anything really. Unconditional Love is not definable because it allows for each one to live their own idea of it based on one's own intimate relationship with their Source.

I liked the Oneness like many islands, linking coral arms under the sea expression.

I do agree with her views of a God we have to worship also.

Thank you for sharing this Freedom, I truly InJoy your contributions.

I shared this with a beloved friend yesterday and I love synchronicity.

"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to be one's own self." ~ Montaigne ~

These are just my honest expressions being shared here. My thoughts on ego have come around through the years and below I share from my blog my own recent acceptance of this thing we call 'ego'.

Love to you always,

Julia

Always question those that think that they are wise. Especially types like the prior two.    Larry

[juliainkc]

lol Larry,

Absolutely. Question. As to wise, well what is your defintion of wise? I am like you asked to show up and stream.

And this of course would include questioning why you seem to like taking an opposing view so much with others without contributing something to uplift another?

I was asked by Freedom to share my thoughts. At least that is what looks like my name on her post. But thank you Larry for answering in your own unique way.

InJoy being Larry the one with all the answers to the answers or response of another.

May Love reach you in your own way of being able to accept it,

Julia

[Larry]

Anything you have to say, is loaded with agenda crap.    Larry

[juliainkc]

Dear Larry,

Honestly, you have quite the potty mouth and humorously could use a good old washing your mouth out with soap.

I am deeply sensing here that you have a deep need for attention and it is obvious that you don't care if it is by drawing it through negative put down behaviour. Or tongue lashing.

So, I am asking you nicely, to do unto others as you would have done to you. Truly. And ask yourself why you feel like coming into a place where you feel ones are loaded with agenda crap. That's policing another or controling another with false power.

I refuse to allow you to put me down so you can gain some sense of 'power' or superiority over another. These are kind words or shall I echo your voice back to you?

What do you mean Julia? Selling the life is a bitch and then you die mentality. And anyone else who feels or believes differently is full of shit.

Hmmm... not the way I see my life, which I have shared here over and over again is the position I am always coming from.

I will say I am perfectly fine with you believing the way you do and I do not have to call you anything at all, I do not have a need to be anything to you really Larry. Just knock off the rough mouth okay?

Speak respectfully as it speaks loudly who you are to yourself.

Again, I am asking you nicely to be nice to all people here in this forum whether you agree or like it or not. You are influencing your thoughts here as well.

I do not need a response from you here truly. Consider.

Peace Larry and calling on a Higher Love,

Julia

Dear All,


Oh wow where was I missing this interesting thread?!?  Dear Freedom as I was reading the link I find mySelf of ...oh my God... 9 years ago!!! Then I instantly thought ..oh wow Darrell and Larry would love this article (and keep in Mind I haven't even scrolled down to read the responses).

Anyway ..lol..  as a former 'martyr' type of... yes absolutely is is true - however!!! everything in life is built with the precision of a perfect pattern. I can't speak for others but for myself I can see how necessary that state was ..is like imagine a catapult 'you stretch the cord lower and lower until one day it has no choice but to either snap and break free or break period!' ..funny enough even this is our choice. The ones that want to break free will always find their way - the rest will stay and continue to blame everything else.


 

with unconditional love

[Larry]

With all due respect Julia, I don't have to put you down. You do a splendid job of that your self. You have come to the idea that what you have to say is gospel. Why don't you get a real job and quit trying to influence people. In plain old english,  SHUT UP            Larry

At this point I am asking the other mods and Adrian to view this thread and see if I may have misunderstood you here Larry.


Respect your own words Larry. Truly. Do as you do and say here for yourself.


Self examination is a very freeing thing. I do not speak to you or others disrespectfully because I respect myself.  I just don't see this revealing itself here in your last few comments.

Again, Peace and calling on a Higher Love,

Julia

[Larry]

Don't bother, the agenda of this forum is obvious. I have no respect for you or your board. I view you as evil. You and the board display a need to control people. Money, Power and control.  Larry
