How much is Christmas ??

It is the 3th December and I just came from the shopping and I am shocked to see how full it was.

It´s sad to see that people still believe that happiness, good will, Love or even the Christmas spirit is somewhere inside a shop with a price label on it ...

Aren´t we all tired of spending money on disposable stuff and getting gifts that don´t mean a thing and still have to smile and thank them ?

Who never felt that a hug, a kiss, or simply hearing or reading the words "I love you, I need you or I am sorry" would be much better than a pen, a sweater or a box of chocolates ?

Isn´t it time to stop and realize that this "kind" of Christmas is nothing like what the real Christmas should be about?

It was even sadder to see that the people in the shopping looked lost because their soul doesn't want to be there, worried if people are going to like the stuff they are buying, guilty to spend so much money on stupid stuff and not use it as they would like to.

We got all stuck to the idea that we have to do this, we have to buy something, after all it is family and who knows this year I get something great ... bla bla bla ...

What kind of Christmas is the next generation is going to have if we don´t change some things now ?

So here are 2 or 3 ideas that I am sure will make some Christmas very different.

Why don´t we just offer a hand made little something to hang on the Christmas tree so that we can remember each year who gave us each ornament? We are all talking about energy so can you imagine the love, good intention you are putting in the ornament ? and children will love to do this... or why don´t you spend a day in the kitchen with the kids looking for a cookies recipe that finally works for you and offer those "great" cookies inside a little jar ... or simply just write a simple Christmas card telling a story about why is that person so important to you ... remember, children do this easy .... these are all simple ways to give away what is really important to all of us ... Love

If Christmas is all becoming about buying stuff, can you imagine how do children feel when they don´t have money to buy us stuff ?

Christmas is about being not about having ... we all know that !

So why don´t we act like it ??

Anyway Christmas is also about hopping ... so I am hoping that someday we will enjoy the real Christmas Spirit and leave the Shopping to what is really important there; food !!!

I wish you all a wonderful season filled with Love, Light and Peace

Merry Christmas to you all

You are Amazing by Story Waters

You are amazing. You are the creation of yourself. You are that which creates. You are the choice to experience existence – beingness. The only limit to what you can be is your self-belief and your imagination. To be born into this reality is to enter a wonderful, shared illusion that grants you complete free-will in the creation of your own personal reality; this is your creatorship. Within the illusion we believe that we are looking at a separate, objective world where we experience self and other; beneath this apparent separation we are unified; we are one.

Reality is a mirror of your being. You are creation exploring itself in a space-time mirror. Through what you choose to believe you create your reality. You change your reality by changing your beliefs about both it and yourself. The eyes with which you look actually shape what you see (this is now shown in quantum physics). Perception is not passive; it is an act of creation. Your choice of perception forms not only how you experience yourself, but your entire reality. Awakening to your creatorship leads your experience of reality to become more fluid and direct. This is to enter conscious creatorship where what you desire is quickly manifest.

The key to conscious creatorship is the allowance of change; the birthing of the unknown into the known. The basis of allowance is acceptance. To change your reality you must first accept it. As long as you reject what you do not like about your reality you are in denial of your creatorship, leaving you feeling stuck. To accept that you are choosing your reality, release attachment to any preconception of how life should be and instead love what is. This comes through the taking of complete responsibility for every element of your reality. This is to love your choice. It is to love yourself. You are the choice of yourself.

Release your fear. Fear is fear of the unknown, fear of being limitless. Fear creates limitation. There is a natural, beautiful unfolding to life that can only arise when you let go of the control that arises through fear. To face your fear is to allow yourself to be vulnerable and put down the shields you have used to protect yourself. All shields are a representation of a belief in danger and therefore lead you to the very danger you want them to protect you from. Whilst you are barricaded behind shields (fear) you will never truly feel safe. All that blocks you in life is the manifestation of your fear. The discovery of freedom is the realization that the only force pushing against you is you. You hold the key to any cage you may be in. To cease to judge and control your own being is to release struggle and enter joyful, effortless creation.

You are awakening to your creatorship and the nature of the illusion. This is a natural process and requires no more than fearlessly being yourself. This means opening and following your heart. This is your freedom: believe whatever your heart feels to believe. This is to live in the Now. It is to awaken to the equality of all beingness and release judgment of both yourself and the world. Ever changing truth is the reflection of the ever unfolding birth of beingness that is life. In this state there is no such thing as ‘The Truth’. There is no need of an answer for there is no problem. Just be. There are no limits to what you can be; you are infinite. The joy of this life arises through completely allowing your own being.

Within your heart is a dream. The meaning of life is to live that dream. You can only live that dream if you believe you can. Believe in your dream. You are free to be whatever it is you wish to be. You are an embodiment of all creation. The answer to every question you can conceive is within you, for you are both the creator and perceiver of all you experience. Allow your beingness to blossom without limitation or control and you will experience the limitless love and freedom that you are.

When You Awaken,

When You Awaken,
You are no longer a Buddhist or a Hindu or a Christian or a Jew or a Moslem.
You are love, you are truth.
And love and truth have no form.
They flow into forms.
But the word is never the same as that which the word connotes.
The word "God" is not God,
the word "Mother" is not Mother,
the word "Self" is not Self,
the word "moment" is not the moment.
All of these words are empty.
We're playing at the level of intellect,
feeding that thing in us that keeps wanting to understand.
And here we are, all the words we've said are gone.
Where did they go?
Do you remember them all?
Empty, empty.
If you heard them, you are at this moment empty.
You're ready for the next word.
And the word will go through you.
You don't have to know anything: that's what's so funny about it.
You get so simple.
You're empty.
You know nothing.
You simply are wisdom
not becoming anything,
just being everything.

A Prosperity Blessing ....

May you be blessed with an amazingly abundant day today!
May the clouds break and the heavens pour down upon you more joy, more love, more laughter and more money than you could have ever dreamed of.
May the sun shine its golden light of prosperity through every cell of your extraordinary body.
May you be cleansed today of any resistance or feelings of unworthiness that you may still be holding onto.
May your false illusions of doubt, fear and scarcity gently fall away like soft white feathers on a gentle breeze.
May you be willing, simply willing, to allow the Universe to shower you with miracles today.
May the Angels wrap you in their shining wings of opulence.
May the fairies deliver you to their pot of gold at the end of a majestic rainbow.
May your eyes shine with the glorious truth of who you really are and may that truth uplift others in your presence to their own inner knowing.
May your ears hear the sound of perfection ringing in your soul.
May you taste the deliciousness of every precious bite of life as your day unfolds moment by moment with amazing grace, heartfelt love and a bounty of magnificent money. As this day ends, may you slumber wrapped in an exquisite blanket of enduring peace and profound gratitude. And may the last words you speak today be Thank You!

Wise tipp ..

Our attitudes write our destiny. We are responsible for the life we have. Blaming others for whatever happens to us is cultivating illusion. We have to learn ourselves and nobody can do that for us as well as we can not do it for nobody else. The sooner we realize this and accept it the less we suffer.

Nossas atitudes escrevem nosso destino. Nós somos responsáveis pela vida que temos. Culpar os outros pelo que nos acontece é cultivar a ilusão. A aprendizagem é nossa e ninguém poderá fazê-la por nós, assim como nós não poderemos fazer pelos outros. Quanto mais depressa aprendermos isso, menos sofreremos.
