Church – Prayer-Meditation

church - prayer

What church you attend, and how you pray, this is very personal. Only something you can decide. What is important is that you pray. That communication with the Divine/Universe is a constant part of your life on a daily basis.
Always be open to the words/direction/guidance of God/TAO

Call it meditation, call it prayer, call it anything you want, but make the time every day to keep in touch with your “inner voice” Whether you believe it or not, you are connected to the Universe, in all you say, do, everything.

Some of us pray in a formal church, and many of us, have our own private places where we find our quiet and calm. The formality of a church can be daunting, and to some boring. In life I have found that no matter where I’ve gone, or what the circumstances, the people/souls I’ve connected with, no matter the outer appearance, were spiritual in their own way. ie. in SL, behind every avatar is a human being with a heart that lives and breathes. In life, everyone we meet has a heart that beats, they live with feelings, hurts and bruises, and have loved and lost just like you and I.

This church in SL is open to everyone. It is run by a church in the States. when you arrive at the church, you can obtain a notecard that gives you the information on the how and why of the church. I’ve cut and paste the first part of the note card for you.

“I hope that you will find sweet kindness here. My SL name is Pelagius Friend (see the note on Pelagius at the bottom of this notecard). My RL name is Benhardt Fraumann and I am a Presbyterian Minister who serves a RL church just outside New York City. My RL website…if you ever want to hear a homily is http://www.communitypc.org. ” He then goes on to explain the concept of the church and talk about Monk represented in their build, it is very interesting. Pelagius (350-418 A.D. Approximate)

This is not the only church to provide a place for the many thousands of players in SL. ( PL is also present in SL along with many many others)

Offer sincere words and demonstrate acts of kindness, today and always. Live with World Peace in your hearts. Blessings today, tomorrow and always.http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Born/178/63/29

Inspiration – ginger or garlic

Inspiration - ginger or garlic

Hmmm ginger or garlic, what has that to do with Inspiration. It is about choices, Garlic is such a wonderful little plant. Not only does it add flavour to food it is healthy for us. The same can be said about ginger, Each one has its own taste, and its own uses (as health benefits) and depending on how it is used, will determine our acceptance of use of it.
Interestingly, both are roots (bulbs) the most known remedies and uses are of the part of the plant that is underground.
When out in the woods, unless you know what you are looking for the wild garlic goes unseen.
If my husband comes into the kitchen while I’m preparing a meal, he reacts to the smell of garlic (in the negative) and it in turn affects his pleasure in the meal when it is served.
IF he does not see me cooking, he enjoys the meal with much more gusto and appreciation.

On the surface, life can be tranquil and peaceful, but when we look, really look, often what we see changes our initial perspective.
All this to say, there are so many layers in life, and often we are only dealing with the top layers.
When Inspiration comes to us, it is because the Universe has cut through the layers and has given us a quick glimpse at the heart or core of that moment and blessed us with an option. I’ve used the word option, because. we are guided, it is up to us to make the choice of listening or doing something different.
Listen, accept the thought and if action is involved, do it. Go for it. Believe in your inner voice for it belongs to YOU, Have faith in yourSELF. me, myself and I, we are all ONE connected to the Universe, The Divine connection is always there, sometimes we simply are not listening. GOD/TAO is ever present. A L W A Y S

PL Precept #18 Each Moment Is A Turning Point.

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Food for the spirit

We make sure we feed our stomachs are we as focused and dedicated to maintaining the nourishment of our “spirits”. How often do we make time for a good sit down visit with God/Universe. we would not think of leaving the house or starting our day without a shower and brushing our teeth. Yet we are quick to rush out of the house to go about our daily activities without making sure our mental and spiritual needs are met and in good health.
Prayer and meditation are very important in mental and spiritual well being.
Times should be set aside every day for a personal tune up. Whether it is 5, 10 , or 15/20 minutes a day. We take care of our bodies, we have our heart rates checked, blood pressure, and teeth tended to on a regular basis yet procrastinate or simply neglect the most important connection in living a balanced life, our mental health & spiritual wellness.

PL offers us a unique way to stay tuned to our spiritual wellness requirements. through personal one on one consultations with a PL minister you can work together with the minister, to help you maneuver through your life’s journey and all its intricacies,

WE each and every one of us is “special”, and live a “unique to us” lifestyle, therefore, we all have to find the right way and schedule to find the way that works for us. If you are not sure, or want to consult with someone, please contact us. Perfect Liberty is International, contact me if you need specific information/referral. Use the comment part of this blog, I will respond to you (usually within 48 hours, if not much sooner)

The vegetable you see above, is a cross between a cauliflower and broccoli in taste. I steamed mine, then seasoned it with garlic butter and pepper. don;t overdo the butter, you need only a little drizzle it over the flowers, let it sit for about 3 minutes and delight in the taste. I steam the veggie just enough to soften it a wee bit. Remember I love my crunch. Last night I served it with a shrimp and leek dumplings that were dipped in Sriracha hot chili sauce (dr Oz approved sauce!) I’ll be honest with you, I can’t remember why he was advising it as a good condiment to have and use, I use it because I really LIKE it. I will use it with almost anything when I want that “punch” or “zing” to whatever it is I’m eating. 5 calories per serving (1 tsp)

Take care of all of you. Eat your veggies and keep your meats lean. Seeing this temping hot chili sauce. might cook up a batch of dry garlic giblets for snacking on at lunch time. Can eat them with a bowl of steamed bok choy and slices of raw white radish. Oh slow down girl, you’ve just had your breakfast…

Sending love and hugs your way.. with lots of Blessings!

Intuition & Appreciation

Over the many years of my existence I’ve learned to follow my intuition, if a thought pops up into my head, I do my best to act on it. Usually I discover, that there was a reason for my actions.
I had planned today to be out with a friend, however, it didn’t happen, so I found myself with “free” time. We have been away for several days, days that were busy, fun and full of activity. Ah HA! time to regroup and just chill.
Having decided that was what I was going to do and feeling very content with that decision, I was rather surprised to hear myself suggest to hubby that I go along with him to the extreme west end of the city.
Believe me when I offered to tag along, I had not idea why I wanted to get back in the car to drive and shop some more, There are two shops in that end of town that I have gift certificates for, but I was not pumped to shop. My attitude was one of “I’ll just explore”
At the first shop, I found the perfect gift for friends that I will be seeing in a couple of weeks. Wow, I thought, this is great, must be why I wanted to be here. The next shop just blew me out of the water. The bookshelves were full of books on one of my favourite topics. Philosophy and Theology. My head was spinning as I tried to select only a few of the books and not gather them all and dump them in my basket. I found two wonderful dictionaries, Pocket Oxford Chinese dictionary, so new I could still smell the pages, it will go with my Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese dictionary, and the Oxford School French Dictionary, both mint.
ahhh heaven!
Oh, and a brand new copy of The Tao of Willie (A guide to Happiness in your heart, by Willie Nelson). There are many more, but I will share them with you over time, this is a blog after all and not a novel.
Since I’m recently back from Japan, I may start with Religion and Social Crisis in Japan (Understanding Japanese Society through the Aum Affair).. hmmm not light reading. BUT, I allowed my intuition to guide me in my choices. When I look at the variety in my choices I’m happy happy happy..

When you pray on a regular basis,you become more and more comfortable with you “intuition”, in prayer we learn to realize that as humans we do not live solely by our own power, We “are” thanks to the “grace of God”

For this I give thanks, and have a true appreciation for things as they are. I accept what comes my way, with ‘age” I am learning that accepting isn’t always a walk in the park.. and if I don’t know at the time, I will eventually know, what the Universe has intended for me.

When you let go and listen to your intuition -you will be blessed, treasure the fleeting “connection with a higher power”, your inner smile deepens to and fills you with Joy. multiple BLESSINGS are being sent your way filled with love and appreciation,

It is Tuesday – Good Morning -Bom dia – Bonjour

It is Tuesday - Good Morning -Bom dia - Bonour

I’m a morning person, I love waking up to another day, I can accomplish so much in the morning. LOL I know that for others the mornings can be a little more elusive. Remember the expression,” the early bird gets the worm”? Is that still used today =^_^=
Today will be another day of very hot humid temperatures,I thought I’d show you a little hide-a-way that the birds and shade loving visitors like to find in our front garden. Our dogs will be walked before the heat builds up on the city pavements.

What are you doing today? Did you have a good night’s sleep? Sleep is so very important to our well being.

My morning prayer grounds me and gets me going.
My evening prayer wraps up my day and nudges me gently on my way. When for some reason I miss an evening prayer/meditation, sleep may come, but my nocturnal journeys are not the same.

In PL Oshieoya-sama teaches us that in order for us to express our true selves for happiness and the happiness of others, it is important that we live with true faith in God/Universe and pray to the Divine Mother in our daily lives (God/ Universe/Divine Mother, all ONE)

Have a great day doing whatever you are doing. You are in my prayers always. Blessings!

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)

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.

Take Care of things One by One as They Come. day 14

Take Care of Things One by One as They Come. It is the best timing to do something as soon as you notice it. Take action right away without hesitation.

Perfect Liberty teaching for day 14.

Page 35 PL Member’s Guide.> “Each one of us has our own unique personality and lifestyle. Therefore, it is different for each individual how they would practice the true way, or how they would seek happiness.”

Page 23 PL Member’s Guide.>” Life is full of accumulations of small moments. If we go through life with the illusion that only big, important things need our attention, we are missing opportunities to notice other things in which we should be paying closer attention. Your life is your very own unique work of art.”

Take care of Things One by One as They Come.
