Listening In to www.marianne.com for March 7th, 2017 ( a one-time replay of a May 2016 program)

While listening to Marianne Williamson who is The Course In Miracles guide and longtime speaker I thought I'd jot down some ideas that may spark more reflection among Livfully Friends... How are you doing now as you read this post? Hopefully invited to enjoy the bigger idea of LOVE rather than FEAR. One avenue to get from Fear to Love is to Pray.

She shared that when we pray for guidance in our thinking and actions, our lives and connecting is to have a more loving, kind experience...since G-d is within our hearts and minds as well as in the universe. If we believe we live in a friendly universe, she shared, we have a different (and likely better, friendlier) experience.

The old times offered set roles for people (Moms, Dads, Kids, Masters, Slaves, and Serfs). With revolutions of economy and thinking, freedom crept up and freed people from set roles. Choices along these lines have been playing out ever since. 

A random, not-friendly universe, may pave the way for The Ego to Create Your Own Game. Programs may tout the need for you to see what's special about you and work it. The CIM (Course In Miracles) espouses that no one is 'separate' from another.

The way to feel strong and connected, we need to feel clear about Who You Are and Why You Are Here (in earth.) The idea that G-d created us or that we are children or ideas of G-d is all part of the CIM.

That means we are primarily Spirits not the bodies we live in. The body is like a set of clothes. Identifying with ourselves as Spirits rather than physical bodies can help us feel rooted and strong, clear and connected with all that works with those spiritual laws. She explores the idea that How We Do our Work or Ministry in Any Field or Role is the important part of our life experience...not the What so much. 

I won't keep going from here in case there are big no-no's to do so. CIM says 'we are all created as One'..rather than only 'one Son of G-d'. Some may call that a play on words but there are many profound ideas to keep assessing through the lens of many longterm traditions as well as newer offerings.

Thanks for asking a question or two here or as you drift off to sleep (and that may be to yourself, the Divine, others in spirit who knew you and so on.) The more we speak as connected beings, the more meaningful connections can happen. I have often promoted the message to 'Dare to Care and Share"...

It's easier to share if you care, and it's easier to care if you Dare to Want to care...and think with your heart over time. Thanks for doing what you can as it may work for you (not to stress you out more if your To-Do list is already a few pages, both sides..) Just take a breathe and as a good friend in spirit now, Karen Kisslinger says on her CD, First Just Listen...(to your breathing...and I'll add to your heart beating.) Peace, love, light and networking with others in harmony...with HugEnergy, Catherine/ Livfully
