The Flash of Inspiration Is a Gift From GodI

PL Teaching for Day 22 >The Flash of Inspiration Is a Gift From God < When something suddenly clicks or when a great idea suddenly pops into your head, it is actually not something you have control over. Understand that this is wisdom given to you by God. The Flash of Inspiration is a Gift From God.

As an artist/writer, I can’t tell you how often I have wanted to paint, sculpt or write something, get myself all set up and then “puff” like a cloud of smoke what I thought I was going to do evaporates. If I try to make it work, the results are simply not to my liking, yes I may have an end product, but it does not “speak” to me. My first thought it that it should go into the waste bin. For sure I am not prepared to show it around, or do a drum roll. So I put it down and it disappears from my immediate thoughts. If I’m in a persistent mood, I may start over, something inside of me wants to be expressed. The desire is strong, and I feel the frustration well up inside me, I know I have something to “say”…. but every time I try something I am dissatisfied with the results. Sound familiar?

When I “Let go and Let God” allow myself to take a step back, and just allow my hands to work the clay, or if painting the colors and forms to take shape, an inner peace begins to happen, and I find myself humming, carried away by the moment. I’m focused, I’m in a happy place. I’ve learned to listen to the little voice inside of me that says, “OK, that’s enough” I stop.. step back and with eyes of wonder I discover an “expression” Sometimes I simply have no idea how I got the results that I did. Ask me to do another one, I couldn’t. My “expressions” became a form of meditation for me. It didn’t matter to me what anyone else thought about the results, I was happy! INSPIRATION IS A GIFT I really and truly believe that God is within and part of who we are. God is the tie that binds us all together. We are ONE.

A member of the church send me links to some awesome figurative art, I share them with you and hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

May your day be blessed 100 fold. =^_^=

Discover the Many Things for Which to Be Thankful

PL teaching for day 21 > Look at the people around you, the things provided to you by Mother Nature, and all of the little things that bring you joy. If you search carefully for them, you will find how much you have to be thankful for. > Discover the Many Things for Which to be Thankful <

Count your blessings. Oh what a joy felt thought. I close my eyes and think of so many things that have touched me over the years, and all the friends who have at one time or another touched my “heart”. My heart is a treasure chest of good memories. Yes for sure I have known sadness, tears and heartbreak. BUT the LOVE, happiness and highs that gave me immense and intense pleasures outshine the sadness.

To know the shattering of heart, the loss of love, one must first let go and allow love and joy in. The only constant in life is CHANGE, and with change comes new life, new adventures, new tomorrows. Always live in the moment, enjoy today, now is what counts.

Our blessings are memories of yesterday, the wonders of today, =^_^=, tomorrow will be another today =^_^=

I’m going to try a share a memory with you now. A rediscovery of a singer who touched my world at one time.. He will be coming to the Jazz Festival this month, it was such a WOW moment to hear this song again. Blessings all – Have super happy positive day where ever you are!

Have the Courage to Take the First Step

if you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. Believe in yourself and take the first step.

Have the Courage to Take the First Step. PL teaching for day 19

I thought I’d see what the hexagram 19 was in the I Ching 4 broken lines over 2 solid lines. (Lin)

The two firm lines at the bottom of the hexagram in the positions of inspiration and self interest, create the arousing atmosphere of Promotion. They rule jointly and aggressively. There is now a dynamic emphasis on inner growth.

Begin your endeavors in the company of those who share your enthusiasm. Be certain that you are pursuing your goals. Have the Courage to Take the First Step.

The Value of Money and things Depends on How you Choose to Use Them

PL teaching day 18 – 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.

I had to meditate on this one for a long time .. I was trying to decide how best to try to give you my association or thoughts on money. It has always been my belief that money is a necessary evil in life. One needs money to acquire “things” in life. In today’s society/culture, we often think we “need” a lot more than we actually do. Permit me to tell you of one of my excursions many years ago with a friend. We loved to scour garage sales,flea markets, and of course thrift shops. Not because we couldn’t afford to purchase retail, we both had careers, but my friend like to buy and resell, it was her “hobby” and I was and am a recycle or transforming artist. I like to find a cast off or unwanted item that “speaks” to me and give it a new life.

We were in a little town that is known for its charm, outdoor cafes, and a couple of great discount shops. One in particular was a place that sold discounted silver wear and household accessories. I found a delightful fork there and decided to purchase it. It wasn’t very expensive, but it was not on sale, it was not silver, but sterling silver, so practical, I enjoyed the lovely design and feel to it. “Oh you can’t purchase that fork” exclaimed the sales lady,” we only have one left, and besides it is a dessert fork”. My friend agreed with the lady that since it was a dessert fork, how much use would it be to me. Their reaction to my intent of acquiring this delightful fork surprised me,, I had thought of neither of their concerns, I liked the fork, I could afford the fork, therefor, I was going to purchase the fork. My reply to both of them was that it was a fork and it would get the food to my mouth, that was all it needed to do, it didn’t have to be part of a set, it didn’t have to match anything else I had, It was a fork, it was functional & one I liked and wanted.

So often we pass on something because of someone else’s view, or thoughts, and then we spend an enormous amount of time trying to find something like it because we didn’t act on our first impulse. Usually our impulses come from our inner “voice”. these moments are often little nudges from above. In PL we learn to #1 hear our inner voice, and #2 listen and think on what it is we are hearing….. it is part of the lesson in believing in one’s Self. Knowing what we want, and acting on it.

Everything originates in God, God/TAO/Universe embraces everything. We cannot live apart from God regardless of whether we recognize God’s existence or not. The Maharishi once said, put a tub full of water in the middle of a room, whether or not a person believes it is full or not, when they step into it, they will get wet. (TM – Transcendental Meditation)

Potential new members should know that PL is non sectarian and does not expect that members give up the faith they already have. PL teachings can help new members better understand their traditional faiths .. PL believes that all religions should work together for world peace.

If you are near a PL church, the 21st is our monthly Thanksgiving service. All our welcome. (for Church of Perfect Liberty contacts, visit our websites,links in side bar)

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”

Good Morning Everyone

Your Smile Can Spread Cheer to Those Around You.
A person who is always pleasant and cheerful can spread their joy wherever they go. Always remember to smile.
Today’s teaching on the PL calendar
your Smile Can Spread Cheer to Those Around You.

Awareness of self and the impact others, is just not ” when I have time” or “if only I wasn’t so busy, I would”. Could, should, would,if only, how often do we use these words.
I wake up in the morning, thinking of the beauty in the world / universe, smile and let that smile radiate from head to toe Allow your SELF to feel it in your whole body. For me, this inner glow is healing. I know it shines from my eyes. PL teachings help keep our “smile” healthy and truly happy.
Your Smile Can Spread Cheer to Those Around You.

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.

Does this “feel” familiar

There are times when even in a crowd, we feel that we are alone. Sometimes t his is good, other times we wish that we could reach out and share the moment with a friend.
Fortunately, a PL member has the opportunity to receive consultation, or simply visit with a minister to share, talk about, a problem,question, or curiosity in our life.

The picture was taken in the virtual world of Second Life. I have found the different worlds I’ve discovered there to be a perfect way to experience the artistic talents of the virtual artist. If you are wanting to explore this build on your own, these are the coordinates.

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we learn to appreciate ALL the different circumstances we find ourselves in. For me the discovery of this nest in the middle of nowhere was comfortable.. I loved the quiet, the calling of the birds overhead, the sound of the water against the rocks that lined the shore.. blue skies.. We have an advantage in SL (Second Life) we have the ability to fly, one can never be lost =^_^=.

When we trust in the divine ONEness of the Universe, we are living in Perfect Liberty and we know that we are never alone, ever.
