May 30th – Take the love

It’s May 30th, 2024; We have a mid-tempo original country song that could apply to anyone who has had a loving relationship end. It expresses the feeling of someone leaving the other behind and the things they might say to the person as they walk out the door. This departure song was written (music and lyrics) by my dear Richard Murrey and skillfully produced by Steven Cooper in his Nashville, TN, music studio.

Take the love and trust we built with promises

Here’s the one-hundred-fifty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer an original song to educate, entertain, or uplift and soothe broken hearts.

Music video with lyrics by Richard Murrey

Take the love and memories right or wrong

When relationships come to an end there are usually both good and not-so-good memories attached to them. In a line of this song, the singer asks the person leaving to take the love and memories with them, whether the memories were right or wrong. In my interpretation and experience, it’s easier to let go of the good memories and hold onto the bad ones; it lessens the pain of their leaving. It’s easier to be mad for a while. I find anger easier to deal with than grief–it seems to pass through me quickly. I can scream into a pillow and get over that faster than I can lay around sad, crying, or pondering the “what could have been” topics.

Of course, there are always easier ways of coping and releasing any ill feelings, such as the following prayer I found on Facebook:

Screen capture: “Purification prayer from the beings of light…” –Michelle Price of Healing World on Facebook

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. There’s usually a peaceful and healthy way to resolve most negative issues, but one does have to be open and willing to try something new.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. May we all soar in ’24!

Yours in expanding, life-enhancing, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

Name calling

Where’s the love?

Obviously, not everyone can agree with everything or everyone. We may not like everyone. It seems that’s human nature.

We think different. We act different. We look and smell different. That doesn’t make us stupid, bad, or wrong.

The next time you are tempted to call someone dumb, illiterate, an asshole, crazy (or worse), take a moment and BREATHE.

Do you even know the meaning of the negative names you’re calling someone?

One of my family members is functionally illiterate, which is different than being illiterate. He was a slow reader all through school and couldn’t spell very well. He can read well enough to get by, holding good paying blue collar jobs his whole life and running businesses.

No one should call someone illiterate who has an extremely high IQ, runs billion dollar companies, and holds the highest political office in the country. A person can be intelligent, yet prefer not to be intellectual.

Most Americans speak on a 4th grade level. When a politician (or other authority) uses doublespeak or legalize, the majority simply cannot relate. Thus, it takes intelligence to understand that and speak to people at that level to gain a majority of listeners (and followers).

Unifying

I thought all of my “Love and Light” friends believe in unifying? Name calling is NOT unifying. There, I’ve said it.

And for Christians, one of the most used directives in the Bible is, “If my children,” “When my people,” and so on, do this or that. God’s children, God’s people are called to be unifying, to serve, to Love.

What you resist persists

Will we get mad at certain things or people? Probably. Everyone does from time to time. But to live a wholly vibrant and fulfilling life, self control (starting with mastering your thoughts and emotions), is your work. Let others be.

Consider these quotes of Neville Goddard:

Do not dwell on the imperfection of yourself or others. To do so, is to impress the subconscious with these limitations.

What you do not want done unto you, do not feel that it is done to you or another.

Every feeling makes a subconscious impression.

The dominant of two feelings is the one expressed.

Self control

Look at yourself. Are you perfect? And what is perfection about anyway? As I’ve written about before, expand your mind to find perfection in the imperfection. Life’s an art more than it is a science.

If you really feel stuck and can’t move beyond the low vibrational name calling, I suggest doing The Work, beginning with The Four Questions with Byron Katie: http://thework.com/en/do-work

From doing The Work years ago, I ascertained that for most it’s nearly impossible (and not our job) to absolutely know some particular thing is true.

I learned to watch and feel for the resonant sensations in my body when I believe certain things are true (vs. how much better I feel when I let go of my judgment about whatever it is and move on to better feeling thoughts).

Again I ask, where’s the love?

Think about the times you wanted something and didn’t know exactly how to go about it.

It takes breaking a few eggs to make an omelette.

Only the pressure of gravity over time can create diamonds in the rubble. We’d waste our lives waiting for it to happen, wouldn’t we?

Directional

Allow and share LOVE in all directions, north, east, south, west, above, below, forward, and behind. Unseen and seen. Past, present, and future. Indeed, in ALL directions for the benefit of ALL.

Conditional

By its very definition, Love is unconditional. You can’t say, “I love you” and then get mad when your loved one does something you do not like. That would mean you only like that person when they meet your conditions.

You don’t know what’s best for everyone. Nor do you or I know everything. Honestly, none of us will ever know Everything.

Love everywhere

For about a year my daily routine had been to bow my head with hands together while turning and thanking each of the four directions, north, east, south, and west for all gifts and knowledge received.

One day, I realized that I had been missing something.

Now, I put my hands together and stand in silent Gratitude for ALL, above, below, in front of, behind, unseen, and seen. For those who have lived, and for those who will live.

Sending love

The gratitude and love I feel and send is unconditional. I must send it to those I disagree with, as much or more than to those I agree with, otherwise I am not growing or expanding my consciousness.

So, stop the name calling. It only reverberates back to you. And then you may be the one with egg on your face.

Namaste. OM

What is a lie?

Defining a lie

Depending upon the dictionary you use, when you look up the word “lie” and try to define it, you’ll find that it’s mostly referred to as some sort of deception, false impression, or intentionally untrue statement.

So, a lie then, is defined as the opposite of truth. Right? It’s something that’s untrue.

Or is it?

Opposition

Is the lie the opposing viewpoint?

Is it a lie because it goes against what you KNOW, or perceive to be true?

Many years ago, I used to say that my ex could lie to me and tell me the sky was black, though I knew it was blue. And that he was so good at it, so convincing, he’d make me look at the sky again to be sure.

I used to get so angry (mad) when he, or anyone would lie to me! Grrr… what planet were they from? Why would they lie? To get what they wanted?

But now I wonder. What if a lie is really just another way of looking at something?

Let’s imagine we’re standing at a tree. A tree that is full of leaves.

The side of the tree you’re looking at has green leaves, so you make an assumption that all of the leaves of the tree are green. But, what if someone else is standing on the other side of the tree, and there are a few yellow or reddish colored leaves on that side.

Even if we care about the person standing over there, we might get defensive when our friend states they love the yellow leaves they’re seeing. We may disagree or argue our point, even without walking around to the other side!

So, how can we know for sure what colors the leaves are on the other side of the tree?

Like the yellow leaves on the other side of that tree, opposite from where you are standing, a lie is something someone else thinks they know.

They’ll defend “their truth” about yellow leaves until the cows come home!

But, you can’t see the yellow leaves, so you think they’re wrong, nuts, or crazy.

Allow the other perspective

Instead, why not just allow the other person to have his or her understanding of it?

And what difference does any of it make anyway?

We don’t always have to be right after all? And if we do, then that’s our ego.

What if a lie is the other perspective that you are unable to understand?

Think about a conversation where someone says something that you believe is untrue. It makes you mad. You fight it. The anger about the lie becomes intense within you.

Where do you feel that anger?

How do you feel it?

Isn’t it bizarre that you can actually FEEL the weight, or density of the negative energy?

Ahh, there’s almost a substance to it.

Thus, emotion scribes energy to the cellophane (the invisible realm where energy is stored before/after it becomes matter).

What???

Imagine

Now, I realize your head may have just exploded, but try to follow this:

Imagine that there’s a sheet of cellophane between you and the person you are having a heated conversation with.

When you allow their perception (their version of the truth) to upset you, you speak some charged words.

The energy from your words sticks in the cellophane.

The next time someone walks through that cellophane, especially a sensitive person (sensitive to energies), they FEEL that dense energy–almost like a heaviness in the air!

For your consideration

So, the next time someone lies to you, consider first, that they are only sharing their perspective with you. You may not agree. You may not like it.

When someone lies to you, especially if it’s about a really important subject, tell yourself that they are in a different reality. And FEEL if this lightens the weight of the lie.

Just as I no longer believe that a lie is wrong or bad, I also no longer believe there’s such a thing as false hope. For any hope at all, whether it is based on fact or fiction, is still hope.

Let’s assign truth and hope the number 1 and a lie and false hope the number 0.

1+0 = 1

Thus, we see that the even when we try to add something false to something true, we still have something true. It’s only our perception that is limited.

Remember that HOPE is the substance of things not yet seen. Not yet seen! Not real yet. Not actual yet.

So, let’s say someone tells you a lie about a topic that you don’t care much about. You can shrug it off easily, right?

However, when someone tells you a lie about love, about someone you love, or that they don’t love you, that lie drains you of energy, right?

Ask yourself

Similar to a battery that only has enough power to keep it going, though not enough to start the engine, a lie about the existence of love pulls energy out of you.

Why?

Because WE are all LOVE in our core and anything that shuts down or restricts that love FEELS bad to us.

Perspectives. It’s all about perspectives and perception.

How do each of these two statements make you feel?

I love that you make me laugh!

Versus

I love to laugh at you!

The Kaleidoscope

Check out these two images from the same kaleidoscope, that was simply turned a bit:

Pick up a kaleidoscope and peer into it, notice the myriad perspectives available to you. The fractals involved in the patterns created. And when, because you will, you cannot help to do so, move it the slightest bit the light will hit the items within it, and you’ll see different colors and patterns. For this is the way of the kaleidoscope. This is also the way of the interconnectedness of the universe.

I hope this helps to lighten you today, and step a bit lighter on the earth.

Be the person your Soul knows you are!

I love you.

You are enough.

You are worthy of love.

There is a line in George Michael’s song, Freedom, that asks of us: “all we have to do now, is to take these lies and make them true somehow.” And the answer I received about its meaning was:

When you can (though you may never be adept enough in every circumstance) take a lie, or what you perceive as a lie, and can find a truth (as opposed to THE truth) in it, then that is real Freedom. Freedom in one’s mind.

Namaste. OM

Note: This post is NOT about condoning lies or compulsive liars (certainly no one needs to stay with people who habitually act like that), it’s about feeling better, coming to terms, or forgiving someone when it occurs. Learn and move on. It’s all YOUR choice.
