Geoff Allen's Journal June 2013 part 2

You can see at a glance that Life is unspeakably magnificent in its design, that it is incomprehensively sophisticated in its functioning, and that every event and outcome is a part of that design.

98% of people are spending 98% of their time on things that don't matter

What does what I am doing right now have to do with the agenda of my soul?

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy

Sent this quote to the gang

The experience of ecstatic oneness with the Divine comes in many forms: quiet contentment, a sense of gentle rapture, a mystical feeling of universal harmony, all-consuming passion, flights of spiritual abandon, and ferocious joy. But the most powerful experience of ecstasy is a combination of these feelings, when, in one unforgettable moment, we touch the hidden God – the terrible and wonderful Mystery that has given birth to all things and that makes them glow and dance with Its life force. In those moments we may see what It sees and feel at least an infinitesimal part of what It feels.

from THE SHAMAN'S SECRET by Douglas Gillette

[ June 25 & 26, 2013 '

"I would have said EXACTLY the same thing myself once-upon-a-time!"

What would love do now?

Checkout the quote on this page - on right hand side

Treat yourself like a small child. When a child learns to talk, walk, sing, or play a game, we understand that there will be a lot of mistakes. We allow them the opportunity to fail. We also know that eventually they will succeed. Give yourself permission to try new things, experiment, learn and take risks. Allow yourself the opportunity to fail. Like a child, you will eventually succeed.

Today's Positive Visualization

I take an even breath and feel joy and happiness in every part of my being. I remind myself that I am only responsible for my own happiness. In my mind's eye, I see myself and others surrounded by the beautiful light of happiness. I imagine myself going through my day thinking positive thoughts and experiencing the reality these thoughts create. I see the happiness in other people that their thoughts have created. I send light and love to those who have not yet learned to create happiness with positive thoughts. I combine these images with the feelings of joy and let them go, knowing that they will create the good things I am visualizing and thinking.

I love me!

Leads 2thi funny collecton

A life of deepening gratitude requires that we commit ourselves to goodness; only people of integrity live truly good lives. Only conscience can ensure that we are women and men of integrity. Conscience is a uniquely human quality that requires us to make choices that reflect goodness, to follow thought on our choices, and to commit ourselves to the choices we make. Gratitude is linked to conscience just by the fact that we could never acknowledge, live out, or give back our giftedness unless we had within us some prior moral sense that recognizes the gracious generosity of giving and motivates us to give back in turn for what we have received.

Face your fears

When the wisdom of Rigpa shines, not one shadow of doubt can remain, and a deep, complete understanding arises, effortlessly and directly

The word upekkha can point to a quality of not being thrown mentally off balance by our experience

From Neale -

On this day of your life, Geoff, I believe God wants you to know...

...that you are a pure child of God, beautiful in your innocence -- and That this is true no matter what you may have done.

There is no offense you could ever commit that can rob you of your magnificence, or of the wonder of who you are. Yet who among us hasn't fallen from the path, betrayed another, acted unwisely, fallen prey to temptation, given in to a craving or addiction?

All of us are human. And in God's eyes that makes us perfect.

Really. Just the way we are. Like 3-year-olds, looking anxiously up at some elder, wondering with quivering lips whether we'll get a spanking for breaking the rules...

The 3-year-old is beautiful in her innocence. He is pure as snow, and there is simply something that has not been totally understood, or fully integrated into behavior yet. It's okay. We don't mean to be "bad." And in truth, we aren't. Not a one of us.

We're simply, sometimes, mistaken. And God loves us anyway.

Immensely. Completely. Eternally.

Just as we are.
