"Doubt is a powerful tool.
Doubt challenges my beliefs and breaks the spell of all the lies and superstitions that control my world. I use doubt to recover faith in myself, to take my power back from every superstition I believe in, and return that power to myself."
~From The Fifth Agreement by Don Miguel and Jose Ruiz

JUST SAYING

2011-10-07T20:08:00.000-07:00

"The voice that says, "That's just the way I am," is the voice of knowledge. It's the voice of the liar living in the Tree of Knowledge in your head. The Toltec consider it a mental disease that is highly contagious because it's transmitted from human to human through knowledge. The symptoms are fear, anger, hatred, sadness, jealousy, conflict, and separation between humans. Again, these lies our controlling the dream of our life."
~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

~ by Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love

And and reminder about the revised schedule.
It will be 4(5) Agreements every Tuesday at 4 pm. Because of the nature of summer time and people not always showing up and my need to be at the river......I would like a Confirmation by Monday evening by email or phone or leave a message on the phone if you ARE coming. (or on Tuesday anytime if you get a hold of me in person) If I don't hear from anyone, I will assume that no one is coming and I will carry on with my day.
The other change for summer time, is that we will most likely be outside and if those that show up really want an Eckhart time we can do that too. Or we will meet at the beach, river ect. Hope to hear from you!!

Peace and love

The Topic for next Tuesday, September 14th's Wisdom Group is the quote:

YES

2010-09-05T22:05:00.001-07:00

You don't have to go back and deal with childhood issues, because those childhood issues produced a vibration within you that you are still offering -- which is producing today issues. You can shift your vibration a whole lot easier when you're dealing with today issues, than trying to deal with childhood issues. It's the same vibration. That vibration that was creating childhood issues, now it's creating today issues. Deal with it in your now. "Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better?"

4 AGREEMENT TOPIC

2010-05-24T21:49:00.000-07:00

"You are what you believe you are. Humans are powerful magicians. You have the power to make yourself what you are right now, but it's not your reasoning mind that controls your power; its what you believe."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

2010-05-24T21:46:00.000-07:00

If you had one goal, and that was to feel good, you would never again need to hear another word from anyone. You would live successfully and happily and in a way of fulfilling your life's purpose ever after.

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

2010-05-03T18:17:00.000-07:00

Dear All,

This week for the 4 Agreement Wisdom group on Tuesday at 4pm is the topic of:

"Don't take anything personally.
Transform your life. When you refuse to take things personally, you avoid many upsets in your life. Your feelings of anger, jealousy -- and even your sadness---will simply disappear if you don't take things personally."

~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

2010-04-26T10:53:00.000-07:00

The Topic for the meeting on Tuesday at 4 pm is:

"But the most important messages are the ones you deliver to yourself. What are those messages? The word is a force you cannot see, but you can see the manifestation of that force, the expression of the word, which is your own life. The way to measure the impeccability of your word is to ask yourself: Am I happy or am I suffering? If you're suffering, it's because you're telling yourself a story that isn't true, but you believe it. "
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The 5th Agreement

Peace and love

Dreaming

2010-04-07T22:04:00.000-07:00

Dear All,

A card was picked for the topic with the quote;

"I am dreaming my life in this moment. I live in a world of illusion made by images of light. The story I create is a virtual reality that is only true for me, the one who creates it."

from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz

2010-03-31T22:17:00.000-07:00

"If your dominant intent is to feel joy while you are doing the work, your triad of intentions—freedom, growth and joy—will come quickly and easily into alignment. See your "career" as one of creating a joyful life experience. You are not a creator of things or a regurgitator of what someone else has created or a gatherer of stuff. You are a creator, and the subject of your creation is your joyful life experience. That is your mission. That is your quest. That is why you are here."

~Abraham Hicks

LOVE

2010-03-21T06:29:00.000-07:00

Dear All,

The next topic for the 4 at 4 (every Tuesday at 3107 Quennell Road) will be the quote:

You search for love outside yourself when love is all around you. Love is everywhere, but you need to have the eyes to see."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

2010-03-10T17:58:00.000-08:00

The topic for the 4 at 4 this week is the quote:

~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

AWARENESS IS KEY

2010-03-08T08:15:00.000-08:00

This week for the 4 at 4:

"Awareness is always the first step because if you are not aware, there is nothing you can change. If you are not aware that your mind is full of wounds and emotional poison, you cannot begin to clean and heal the wounds and you will continue to suffer."
~ from The Four Agreements, page 99, by Don Miguel Ruiz

peace and love

LET GO...............

2010-02-25T22:06:00.000-08:00

"Always do your best.
Surrender and let go of the past.
Whatever Life takes away from you, let it go.
When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means that you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now."
~from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

This is the topic for this weeks meeting Tuesday at 4:00

ALL WE WANT IS TO LOVE

The topic for this week's meeting is the quote:

Dear All,

We will meet every Tuesday at 4pm to support each other in living the 4 agreements.
This week's topic is the quote:

We are meeting every Tuesday at 4 to support each other in living the 4 Agreements. The topic for this week is the quote:
"All of the drama humans suffer is the result of believing in lies, mainly about ourselves.
The first lie we believe is "I am not the way I should be, I am not perfect." It's just a story, but we believe it, and we stop being ourselves and start searching for an image of perfection."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Voice of Knowledge

THE LIE OF "I AM NOT PERFECT"

2009-12-09T22:28:00.000-08:00

ABRAHAM HICKS WISDOM

2009-12-07T13:30:00.000-08:00

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness. And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection -- you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.

2009-12-05T12:13:00.000-08:00

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

"Don't take anything personally.
When you refuse to take things personally you avoid many upsets in your life. Your feelings of anger, jealousy- and even your sadness- will simply disappear if you don't take things personally."

Jorge Luis Delgado

2009-11-20T22:04:00.000-08:00

Jorge Luis Delgado came to speak at our local "Nanaimo Metaphysical Society" about Love, Service and Wisdom. He is an Inca from Peru, travelling about to share the wisdom of his elders.
He spoke very good English and was extremely open minded. Here are some of his words;

"In the ancient traditions the Incas were considered to be the Children of the Sun, and all people were considered to be Incas. We have as our heritage the Light from the sun that reflects the Sun behind the sun, or the Divine Oneness of the Cosmos.
We are all called to be Incas and share in this heritage regardless of our cultural background, religion, or beliefs. The wisdom of the ancient Incas is for all people, everywhere on Pachamama, Mother Earth. Presently we are entering PachaKuti or the New Sunrise. In the Inca tradition the earth has 500 year cycles of darkness and light on a spiritual level. I believe that there is presently a great deal of positive energy extended to us by the Cosmos to make positive spiritual changes on our beautiful planet. We are entering the Sunrise of Light. What a wonderful time to be alive!"

Art of Dreaming

2009-11-18T17:17:00.000-08:00

"A Toltec is an artist of Love, an artist of the Spirit, someone who is creating every moment, every second, the most beautiful art ---the Art of Dreaming.
Life is nothing but a dream, and if we are artists, then we can create our life with Love, and our dream becomes a masterpiece of art."

Don't make assumptions.
Ask for what you want. Find the courage to ask for what you want. Others have the right to tell you yes or no but you always have the right to ask.
Likewise, everybody has the right to ask you for what they want, and you have the right to say yes or no.

In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,

There is no master,

This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,

Joy

2009-04-24T08:10:00.000-07:00

You are joy, looking for a way to express. It’s not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy—frolicking and eager—that’s who you are. And so, if you’re always reaching for alignment with that, you’re always on your path, and your path will take you into all kinds of places. We will not deny that you will not discover miracles and create benefits and be involved in creation, and that you will not uplift humanity…we will not say that you will not find satisfaction in so many things that you create, but we can’t get away from the acknowledgment that you are Pure Positive Energy that translates into the human emotion of joy.

This week for the Wisdom Group we will consider the quote:

"Only the truth can set us free from the fear, drama, and conflict in our lives. When we release our faith from lies, we recover free will and make our own choices. And when we recover the power to believe whatever we want to believe, all we want is to love."
