Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind
PL teaching day 30 > Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind. >When we are listening to someone, give them your fullest attention. Turning your body towards them, listen for the feeling behind their words so that you can truly understand what they are trying to tell you. >Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.
It starts out innocent enough, our partner/boss or friend says something to us while we are busy working on a project or intent on something else. We heard part of what was said, think we understand, grunt, or reply in agreement and continue with what we are doing. We don’t stop what we are doing, and turn to listen to exactly what is being said, or why.( Remember that expression, listening with half a mind). At that moment, we really have no idea what we agreed to, or didn’t agree to. So later when something is expected of us, or we say something that provokes a very negative response in our partner,boss or friend, we are taken aback. We really haven’t a clue. AND depending on what the situation is/was, it can cause hard feelings, missed appointments, disappointment. When all it would have taken, was a few moments of consideration on our part, when addressed, to stop and listen with full attention, or to excuse one’s self and ask that the party wait a few moments, while you freed yourself from your current task. Remember – listen with an open heart and mind.

I have been trying for days now (weeks) to share with you a song that really resonates with me. I hum it, sing it to the best I can since the Portuguese words are not familiar to me, I love it. Fingers crossed I think I have finally found a way to share it with you.
I am happiest being me. =^_^= Blessings everyone!
Act With Enthusiasm
PL teaching day 28 > If you put your whole heart into whatever you do, you will be able to appreciate any task at hand. Take initiative in tackling your work or tasks. Act with Enthusiasm.
Vitality in nature – All nature is a song – have you ever spent time in a garden? Everywhere you look, there is some dynamic event in progress. In our garden it is an ever changing vista. Birds fly in and out, they bathe at the water feature, they search for tidbits of treats left behind by the squirrels that travel the highways (hydro and phone lines) that criss-cross between the properties. Insects scurry back and forth along their well worn paths under the vegetation. Gardens are a hive of activity. One day the flower buds are lifting their little faces to the sun, and it seems like the next day, the branches are heavy with tantalizing fruit. The smells of moist earth is strangely stirring, and the fact that no matter how well tended the garden is, there is constant entropy and disorder.
Yet…. all is as it should be, each and every part of the garden is living as it should. There is a natural rhythm in nature, we let it happen, Variety IS vitality. Each and everyone of us, has our own rhythm/song. It is up to each of us to sing as we feel moved by the over-all song of life. Harmonize with it …sing in counterpoint….descend into strange modes, chant, “go with the flow”
PL teaches us to pray in order to have good self expression. We need to strive to express ourselves joyfully, cheerfully and beautifully.
Look for Ways to Make Others as Well as Yourself Happy
PL teaching day 24 > Look for Ways to make Others as Well as Yourself Happy > It isn’t enough to do things just to make yourself happy. Let’s always think of outcomes that make not only you, but others around you happy as well. <> Look for Ways to Make Others as Well as Yourself Happy.
Personally I have found that when I am happy, truly happy, I find the world and all around me to be very balanced and my encounters with others amicable. I have learned over the years that the only changes I can make, are to myself and my own actions. When I am at peace, my energy cultivates a more serene environment.
Perfect Liberty teaches that we are all born with our one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and a unique character) When you are able to express yourself to the fullest from moment to moment, believing in God, without losing sight of your God given individuality (Makoto) you will be able to experience the true joy of living. When we can express ourselves fully, we are happy.
It is our mission to attain “Great World Peace”, to build a world of love and respect for all. Oneness.
Let Go, Let God
My morning mantra. Since yesterday, I have heard myself whisper, Let Go, Let God.
Skies are a bright blue, the sun is streaming down through the trees throwing a lovely dappled pattern of shade on the patio. May today be a day filled with richness and blessings to you all. Smile and the world smiles with you! Blessings
day 4 Perfect Liberty teaching
Letting Go of Your Ego Will Make you a Stronger Person
“If you are always caught up with power,status or appearances, you will have a hard time accomplishing anything of worth. Let go and express yourself fully”
How easy it is to fall into the “ego trap”. We are busy living our lives, tripping through life, when suddenly we are pulled up short by the boot straps, “how on earth did this happen” you’ve walked into a wall, or fallen into a pothole. That is because somewhere along the way, we began to believe in or fall into one of the “roles” we seem to be delegated to in life. Not all the roles we find ourselves in are delegated, some are of our own making. An ego can be like our very own personal nemesis. In the church teachings, we learn to “see” and receive help to “let go”
I greet you with love in my heart, and wrap you in a heart felt hug. =^_^=
Blessings be…
“Letting Go of Your Ego Will Make you a Stronger Person”
elation and relief
When I discovered this abandoned old car in the fields today, I thought of how even in the sad state it was in, it was rather appealing. I thought of how it must have looked when it was new, & how it must have a lot of stories it could tell. The artist who created this rusted clunker gave it character. It isn’t just any old car, it is a car that has been detailed to look old, and then lovingly placed in the field so that it creates a picture for the eye to enjoy when it is first spied. Drawing the viewer down into the field to get a closer look.
In Perfect Liberty one of the teachings is to help the seeker to enjoy not just what is seen, but to appreciate the components that brought the object to our attention. When teaching I used to show the student a piece of left over 4×4 wood with a nail hammered into it, a screw half screwed in at an angle and a what not of sorts embedded on the other side. The question to the student would be, “what do you see/feel when you take this object and hold it. Because of the objects hammered,screwed and embedded it was not easy to hold. Nor was it pretty.
Often the question left the student perplexed and curious at just what it was I wanted, or expected him/her to tell me. what I was wanting was exactly what they were giving me, a reason to explain that what we see/feel is not always what is. The wood, had history, it had begun as a seed many many years ago. That seed to grow, had first to rot into the soil it was planted or dropped on. It took many years to grow and in that time, it lived, we can only guess, a great number of lifetimes. With many changes it eventually was cut down and parts of it became building lumber. The piece we were holding, was discarded, only to be recycled into a teaching tool. The nail and screw that now were part of it, they also had undergone many changes to become the objects we were seeing.
As a therapist, I know that visually the body can tell me one thing, but when I actually lay hands on it, I will discover much much more. Though the human may tell me, “I’m fine, no really, there isn’t a problem” yet my experience, my visual and physical exam will tell me volumes.
The first of the 21 Precepts in Perfect Liberty is LIFE IS ART . Just that Precept alone, has so many teachings, so much power in it. Every day we are given the opportunity to live an artistic life. To look at the blank canvas before us, and to create something beautiful. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When something speaks to you, stop, look deep and explore what it is saying, how is it speaking to you, and how does it make you feel. Enjoy the moment,
The elation for me today was the joy of living in Perfect Liberty, waking with a smile on my face, and a prayer in my heart. The relief was when the minister told me that I could write about PL the way I wanted to, in my words, because it is my opinion, my expression, and the heaviness that had been building slipped away. The church is a formal structure, it is a building, it is on a solid foundation, I am me, a believer, a writer, an artist and I want to continue to explore my faith with a writer’s “eye” and artist’s “feeling/touch”. Like the wind I want to be ONE with the Universe, free to BE.
