A prayer:
Dear God,
So many people on planet earth at this time are sending out collective energies in prayer for your mercy and compassion to pour forth upon us all.
We are so small and humbled at your Divine Creations.
We are also as large as your Divine Mind. Limitless and ever-expanding.
Help us connect to you -
to have your Consciousness-
to know the wonders of all creation -
to appreciate every corner of Darkness and Light upon this tiny planet.
Help our Mother Earth.
At this time of our fervent prayer, please enter the hearts and minds of all Beings.
All Beings.
Help US to help our Mother Earth.
May each person who walks on this earth at this moment feel the energies of a New Consciousness.
May we be aware of our Thoughts, our subconscious thoughts, our subliminal thoughts, our unawakened thoughts, our enlightened thoughts.
May we, at this moment, be acutely aware of our awesome responsibility and power to create through our thoughts.
May the power of our collective minds and loving hearts increase NOW, to bring into clear focus thoughts only of Peace...Thoughts of True Allowing.
May our minds be still. Still enough and quiet enough to hear you beyond the banter, shouting, controlling, judging or dark vibrations of negativity that may be moving through the larger Field.
May we be still.
May Peace begin to flood our minds and permeate our thoughts.
May Peace flow into and out of our heart center at all times.
May we collectively fill with a new energy on this planet at this very moment.
May all Beings feel this shift. May our emotions follow these thoughts of Only Peace.
May we be blessed more than ever with your love, dear God.
Give us the courage we need to Be at Peace within ourselves and with one another. Grant us the complete Healing that we need, collectively, as a Human Race. Now.
Blessed are you, our Source of Healing and Peace.
Grant us new wisdom to act on behalf of All within the creative Life Force.
May All Beings, all of us, open our minds and hearts in this moment, to feel the shift in the energy field that we create around the world.
Let the Light of Love, Compassion, Cooperation, and Peace pervade all Darkness.
May no Human bring harm to any living thing.
May we be wise in our decisions and choices.
May we be responsible to respect all of life.
May we be courageous enough to work with the Higher Mind and an evolving new Consciousness of Oneness.
May we let go of our need to control or judge.
May we trust in your Divine Plan.
May we have the wisdom and humility to know we are part of that plan with you.
Thank you for this life.
Thank you for All Life.
Thank you, God.
Shine on us. Shine within us. Shine through us.
Amen.
I love the Tao. Not THE Tao. Just Tao.
It means Way. Path.
I am not a true Taoist, in the classical, traditional sense.
I don't believe it is elitist or obscure.
I simply read many translations of the early esoteric writings,
and they speak to my heart as Truth.
The Tao Te Ching, (pronounced Dow Deh Jing) was written by Lao-tzu
during the Chinese Zhou Dynasty (1046 – 256 BC )
Today I turned to these meditations from "Tao Te Ching: A New English Version" by Stephen Mitchell. Harper & Row 1988.
"#24"
He who stands on tiptoe
doesn't stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
doesn't go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can't know who he really is.
He who has power over others
can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures.
If you want to accord with the Tao,
just do your job, then let go.
"#30"
Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
doesn't try to force issues
or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
always rebounds upon oneself.
The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to domintate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn't try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn't need others' approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him.
"#33"
Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.
If you realize that you have enough,
you are truly rich.
If you stay in the center
and embrace death with your whole heart,
you will endure forever.
It felt right to share these insights with you today....just as a friendly reminder.... to accept yourself, appreciate yourself, and acknowledge your Tao-ness.

This page is dedicated to Insights and Imagination.
Come back often to energize your imagination!
Insights and Imagination are stirred from two simple words...
What if .......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What if clouds are really blue?
What if we instantly recognized that we perceive EVERYTHING as illusion?
oops.
But what if that was the Truth?
What if, in this moment, everyone on the planet KNEW we were
a connected species that was CONSCIOUSLY evolving collectively
with every experience on the earth plane?
What if THIS was THE MOMENT to realize our highest purpose?
What if we consciously directed our energy toward that which is life sustaining
and spiritually empowering for the whole of the planet?
What if we joyfully chose to live together responsibly on Mother Earth
by continually sharing more information, positive energy, uplifting intentions,
and compassion with one another?
What if EVERY child on the planet right NOW was being held in the arms of
someone who loved them?
What if you knew that just by reading those last five questions,
it was already done?!
What if...?

What if you sent YOUR 'What If' imaginations to be posted here?
What if....?

Imagination. Pictures and images creating Visions in our minds.
From Visions comes Insight.
Insight. The 'ah-ha's' of Knowing.
