It is Possible

From Easter Sunday to around April 7 or 8 I had an outpouring of blessings. This made me believe in Urban Shamanism. Then I had a serious attack of ocular migraine plus challenges from my cellphone and Mozilla Firefox. By now I think I am better off with Sylvia Boorstein as my guide.

7th Principle
Effectiveness is the measure of truth. There is always another way of doing anything.

“I am totally convinced that suffering arises when i struggle with events in my life that i cannot change. Yet from time to time i persist in the struggle. Habits die hard.”

I struggle with events that i cannot change because of an erroneous interpretation of Hicks’ Law of Attraction and Martha Beck’s manifestation teachings. I feel a failure when I can’t create the reality i want!

Come to think of it even Urban Shamanism has led me to think I can and must have the reality I want.

“If my mind didn’t cling i would be totally fearless” Sylvia Boorstein makes my life so simple.

“But my mind still does cling, so I am frightened that i won’t have what i think I want.”

“It’s not such a big problem anymore because fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to.”

“I know it’s from clinging and i know it will pass. I can tell myself ‘I am frightened now because even though i know whay’s true i have forgotten it right now.’

How truly consoling. How very good Sylvia is for me.
“That possibility that conviction gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright.”
If only I can remember this each time I am frightened!

 

 

Annoyances


After an outpouring of blessings that started on Easter Sunday, I had a spate of ocular migraine last april 7.

I am now writing about annoyances that emanate from my cellphone, my laptop and deliveries.

In a way, I am disappointed with myself for reacting to the annoyances.
Sylvia Boorstein teaches: “We could condition our mind to such spacious CLARITY that our experience would come and go and the mind would remain essentially tranquil.”

Also: “Grumbling gets the mind fogged down in the weariness of its own story.”

Of course I forgot to have a CLEAR MIND and OPEN HEART!
“I knew the tendency to struggle in the mind comes from taking one’s own story PERSONALLY rather than seeing it as part of the great unfolding cosmic drama.”

How shocking. My worldview as formed by the Urban Shamanism takes everything personally. Self-esteem is key. But it’s a matter of perspective.

Sylvia Borstein’s interpretation of the noble truths addresses my fears and anxieties.

First Noble Truth

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

After dayS of outpouring of blessings, ironically I had a bad case of ocular migraine mid morning. I was not ready for this attack. I frantically used the bizarre pencil biting cure I got from YouTube. But relief did not come fast enough. i used a lot of magnesium spray. I even took cider vinegar with honey.

As though this wasn’t enough. It recurred when I woke up after a massage! I had to process things. I realized how much I need Faith. Not the dogmatic type hinged on redemption . Not the valley of tears paradigm. Not the propensity to seek redress via penalty/punishment.

I need Faith that liberates me from fretting/worrying about my significant others. To me Faith means believing that each one has his/her own specific pathway back to Source. That he/she has been given everything needed to return to Source. So no need for me to micro manage!

Faith also means that pain can be transmuted into energy that can bring miracles to the lives of my significant others.

Pain is physical but the cure may have to go beyond the physical. This is my belief. Medicines,even massage my not be as effective as the subliminal tapes on YouTube and the acupressure targeting specific emotions such as resentment, grief etc.

I believe there is no need to instill guilt and to demand redress. I believe in consequences embedded in thoughts dwelt in – passing thoughts though they pester one. Harmful acts of course have embedded consequences. The average man may want instant redress.

I believe that one creates one’s HELL! Sylvia Boorstein has taught me the importance of a clear MIND and an open Heart.

Blessings

I am constantly evolving. Blessings have been pouring since Easter Sunday. I can’t remain the same.

I choose no longer to react but to respond to the countless blessings. I am convinced my healing pathway is via books, the Internet and special people.

I am not about to turn this essay into a kind of formal research with a long list of related literature. You go to the website of my husband for that!

The Internet has been serving me primarily through Facebook and my website. Also i have learned a lot through YouTube. I get my music from youTube.

I won’t and I can’t enumerate all the special people in my pathway. My people are primarily: Dr Sarno, Dr Lipton, Dr Page, Gary Zukav, Mike Dooley etc. My daughter and husband and my son-in-law; my adopted son Marc Co and Vanessa Tan Arceo his girlfriend; tato Malay in a significant way; my cousin Giselle.

My prayer warriors from the dead. Many are my former students and colleagues.

lately, my many blessings are manifestations of my thoughts. I have been guided by the 7 principles of Urban Shamanism and Sylvia Boorstein’s clear Mind and open HEART.

Serge Kahili King

There are many bashers in YouTube of Serge Kahili King’s 7 principles of “Urban Shamanism”. But I choose to beguided by them.

It does not matter to me that King’s shamanism is not considered pure Polynisian; it works for me because I am metropolitan.

I go by the 7th principle:”Effectiveness is the measure of truth.” In the age of disruption and uncertainty the principles of Urban Shamanism work for me.

PRINCIPLE no 2 There are no limits. This bolsters my belief that when I chose to come to this life, I was given everything I would need to follow my pathway and eventually return to Source.

I still struggle to wean myself off DOGMAS. I still struggle to free myself from many limiting fears that emanated from dogmas learned from childhood.

I daily strive to live in joy via a ” clear mind and an open heart.” Thanks to Sylvia Boorstein.
