Let’s Be in Tune With the Times

PL teaching day 16           Let’s Be in Tune With the Times   > We live in a world that is rapidly changing with the times.  Let’s continue to keep up with the evolving trends of society and strive to broaden our horizons. <

My husband and I drove to the other end of the city today to a huge parking lot, to check out the different  kinds of recreational vehicles that were on display. (Motor Homes, trailers,tents and the like)  we were told there were over 600 parked in the numbered lots. Golf carts drove visitors around, and carried refreshments from one end of the event to the other.  At one time, not all that long ago, the whole area was farm land, woodlands &  country fields. We drove out there using the “super highway”, gone were the cows grazing contentedly in the pastures, sheep nibbling their way along a stream, a farmer tending to his crop. Now littered basically every couple of miles is a big super center for shopping. with all the big box stores making their presence known.

This is a popular venue, it is a yearly event.  There were many couples there, all with an eye on what type of caravan would help chase a dream.  A pop up that can be set up near some babbling brook, or along a sandy beach. A motor home that can be driven to a destination that will provide a sun filled winter without snow.  So many possibilities.  While we explored and enjoyed the day, in the end, we came home to our little “nest” in the heart of the city and tucked the information away for another time.  Today is today, enjoy NOW.

Happiness & contentment is a treasured pearl within our own “Selves”  How we tend and cultivate this pearl, is how well we will deal with the changes in the world around us.  The teachings of Perfect Liberty, help us live an Artist Life.  ” The PL 21 Principles are the practical guidelines for our daily lives as PL members.  They assist us in practicing the PL 21 PRECEPTS   The 21 Principles are specific guidelines on how to live the PL WAY (an artistic life) and teach us how to reach a positive state of mind, so that we can express ourselves more harmoniously and joyfully.” (pg 12  PL Members’ Guide)

When we are at peace, we are “in Tune”     Let’s Be in Tune With the  Times

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection

Perfect Liberty teaching day 15

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection.  If you don’t put your thoughts into words and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel.  By expressing your gratitude in words, you can get your feelings across fully.

Sometimes being comfortable with a friend, relative, partner in life, we can forget to say “thank you” after a time, assuming that they know we appreciate them, and what they do for us.  That is taking them for granted.  I love my husband very much, it is impossible to say thank you for all the small things  he does for me/us on a daily basis, but I try as often as I can to let him know just how special he is.  I’ve discovered, that not only does it bring a smile to his face, it pleases me no end, that we’ve shared a heart to heart moment.  Father’s Day is coming soon, it is good that we have put aside one day to celebrate the special man/men in our lives.  However I personally feel that every day should be a day of gratitude and saying ” Thank You” to the special people who touch our hearts.

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection.

Always Live with “World Peace” In Your Heart

June already, today is the start of another month, May seems to have gone by so quickly.  The PL teaching for June 1 is ” Always Live With “World Peace” In Your Heart.  If each one of us sincerely prays for peace on earth, our combined efforts can change the world”  During a service, when we read this teaching. the official that is leading us, reads the part that is in bold, and we repeat it.  Then the rest is read for us to think and meditate on.  Then we all repeat together the main sentence,” Always Live With “World Peace” In Your Heart” .  The teachings come in the form of a Perfect Liberty calendar.  This calendar consists of 31 pages.  We use this calendar all year.  A new one comes out at the start of each new year. They are available in English, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish

The teachings of PL focus on everyday daily living to help people be all they can be in  this life.  I am very fortunate in that I live in a city where there is an actual physical Perfect Liberty Church.  That said, you have access to the church, the ministers via the internet (see web site ) http://www.perfectliberty.ca  If you live close to any of the churches ( PL is International) you are always welcome to drop in, and/or contact the ministers in person.  It is so positive and exhilarating to have such open and effective communications with the ministers.

In June, the heat and humidity can soar in these parts,tempers can flare up, often there is a yearning to get away, to experience a change from the usual day to day.  Already at the gym that I attend, I see the decline in members hitting the machines in the early day.  It is vacation time, schools will be out soon, and the highways and roads into cottage country are getting busier.  Yet home is where I find my greatest sense of “well being” .  In following PL teachings on a regular basis, I am finding that often the inner contentment has me smiling what I call a Buddha smile..  From ear to ear, head to toe and through and through. =^_^=    Always live with “world Peace” in your Heart.

I’ll have to go back and take another picture now that the snow is all gone.  The grass is green and the flowers have begun to bloom.  Although this shows the building itself, the welcoming entrance.  The love and community in this building gives it a life of its own, always one feels welcome when visiting the church of Perfect Liberty.

I’ve been silent for some time now.  No one reason, just that I’ve been busy living day to day, moment to moment.  When one focuses on “Being in the Moment”  days are full, satisfying and rewarding.  I have written a number of introductions to PL for a magazine we have here in Ottawa called Tone.  It is my hope that in so doing, there will be others who read the words and thoughts and want to come and explore what PL is all about..

“PL’s teachings are practical and common sense.  They are the sort of things you will read in positive thinking and self help books, or hear in motivational speeches.  The difference is that the members are assisted in practicing them in everyday life through discussions,consultations and prayer”  borrowed from my article in the May issue. =^_^=

I have found that committing myself to being a member of the church has made a difference in my life.  I was happy before, now I’m even happier. Oshieoya-sama has said that PL can help unhappy people become happy and happy people become even happier.  I believe.  The website for the Church of Perfect Liberty in Ottawa is http://www.perfectliberty.ca   There are PL churches in parts of the States and in Canada.  The Motherland is in Japan, with a second Mother land in Brazil.

Those of you who follow my travels and ramblings know that I am a member of the Second Life community and have spent many years enjoying various communities within SL.  I’ve especially enjoyed building, traveling and exploring the virtual world.  Most recently blogging for the fashionista and divas in SL on Fashion, Lifestyles etc. with my blog http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com

Now, Q ( Qyhat Harbour) who has spent the last many years as a Tiny is going to open up her home to those wanting to know more about the Church of Perfect Liberty.  I so believe that the teachings of Perfect Liberty can make profound changes in a person’s life.I want to share with anyone who wants to learn.  Virtual world is a beginning, once one has been introduced to the simplicity of its teachings and is ready to move on, there are churches and groups for them to meet and explore in RL.  Anyone wanting to find out how, and where, need simply contact me or check out the website.  This is your limo to the   “house” of Perfect Liberty    http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Greenberry/228/56/35

PL thought for today – Just Be Yourself – relax and express  yourself freely without hesitation. This will allow you to live your life to the fullest.

Wandering and Wondering

Wandering and Wondering.  Wow. here I was looking forward to what I had written back in September that I never got around to finishing.  All I had done was the title.  Goes to show, I have been kept busy with one thing or another, and for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what exactly.  That is what my head space is like thee days. I’m enjoying life.  I’m happy.  Content even.   I flow from one task or activity to the next, living it, and then letting it go.  I have been keeping up with my Long Dash Studio blog, that I do almost every day. http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com .   I’m writing a short article each month for the church (Perfect Liberty) that appears in Tone Magazine. http://www.facebook.com/Tonemagazine or http://www.tone.ca

My various personas are all doing well.  Qyhat Harbour is now a ginger cat, and has an art exhibit on in Raglan Shire, it will be there for two months, April 2013 and May 2013 … AloToi is CEO of LONG DASH STUDIOS, writer,model, photographer, and Xsa Queler is model and writer for the blog. The blog is  now in its 14 month, and we have reached close to 15000 readers, our biggest readership is in USSR, Europe and the UK.  You can find us in Second Life, http://www.secondlife.com

We did wander last year, 9 States and 5 Provinces.  I must have been going to write about the adventure.  we’ve talked of taking off again, but so far, we have not strayed to far from home … Maybe when the nicer weather is here to stay, we will venture out.  Meanwhile, I’m just saying Hi…  and putting this blog to bed.

PL thought for today.

The value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use them.

Money and things are materials for your self expression.  Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society.
