Some Principles of Urban Shamanism

I am grateful for the guidance from my favorite authors and Facebook friends:dead or alive. But in the final analysis, I have to make choices on what is best for my own spiritual journey. Needless to say healthcare is a vital part of my spirituality.

PRINCIPLE # 6 ALL POWER COMES FROM WITHIN
Dr Christine Page wrote in “Mirrors of Existence”: “All the knowledge you need is already present within your own consciousness waiting to b brought to the light.”

I interpret the above to mean that, indeed, God gave me all that i would need in my spiritual journey to experience what it is to be made to the image and likeness of God.

It means I have to be healed of memories/programs that prevent me from getting inspiration from the Divine, already in me. The solution is to do more Ho’oponopono cleansing.

PRINCIPLE # 7 EFFECTIVENESS IS THE MEASURE OF TRUTH
Joe Vitale wrote: “I knew intention (my plans) is a fool’s game, an ego’s toy. And that the real source of power is inspiration.”

I interpret the above as getting inspiration by doing the Ho’oponopono prayers and being led to review my books especially “Urban Shaman”.

Lately to ward off discouragement and frustration i have been studying again “Urban Shaman” which stresses self-esteem and self-confidence. Truly empowering!

Enlightenment

My husband’s research for yet another syllabus for his teaching has inspired me to go back to my old books. One of these is: “Working with Angels, Fairies and Nature Spirits”. I had this book way back in 1998.

Dr William Bloom: “In Pythagoras’ mystical school in ancient Greece, there was a clear understanding of this paradoxical relationship between mathematical accuracy and poetic art.”

In my life it is between the accuracy of my learnings and what happens in my life. For all the careful monitoring of my health protocols and my consciousness wok, i find myself challenged, many times pushed to the edge of my patience.

“There is also reflected in the waves of beauty that emerges out of modern chaos theory which attempts to understand the apparently unpredictable behavior of systems governed by external forces.”

Of course, I am aware of the unpredictable behavior, the seemingly adverse stimuli in my vast environment which too often spoils my daily plans. Human reactions and responses can be most unsettling. Often I feel safer with my plants and music!

“There are fixed mathematical constraints at the base of the equation but they manifest and emerge chaotically. Yet out of the chaos emerge patterns of beauty.”

Joe Vitale helps me with an updated observation:
“I knew intention (my daily plans) is a fool’s game, an ego’s toy; and that the real source of power is inspiration”. (poetic art/God’s guidance).
“I (Joe Vitale) also know that agreeing to life is the great secret to happiness,  not controlling life”.

It will take a lifetime for me to learn not to be frustrated when life spoils my plans. But Ho’oponopono won’t allow me to give up.

 

 

I Have a Dream

I dream that I will be liberated from the programs that prevent me from going about my adventure into this earth with ease and grace. I dream that Ho’oponopono will so connect me with God that I can focus on my divinity.

I want to be cleared of my productivity worldview. Martha Beck describes this worldview such: “All of us have been taught to make things happen in the physical world…it takes…working, working,working, working, working.”

“Then it helps if we work harder.”

I want to be liberated from the economy of salvation belief. I want to unlearn the concept of travailing: suffering so that God can bless others.

I am sure God is kinder and wiser than Esther Hicks and the Law of Attraction. I am sure God knows more than Joe Vitale. I believe God will inspire me what to do.

Joe Vitale observed: “People don’t get what they say so much as what they feel. Most people who pray don’t believe they will be heard or they will be helped. Most people pray from a place of desperation which means they will get more of what hey are feeling:more desperation.”

I want to introduce a new program into my consciousness. The new program consists of using the Ho’oponopono not as a clever trick to avoid suffering nor as a psychological technique. I want to learn from “Freeing the Soul from Fear” which teaches that everything has to be viewed as soul work not merely as therapy.

I Am Who I Am Because of My Beliefs

More than ever I believe I was not banished. I was not exiled into the valley of tears. I believe I had a contract with God to come into this life to explore what it means to be made to the image and likeness of God. I recall how this was repeatedly taught to me during my Grade School years, through my High School years even during my College years!

I believe I won’t collide with anybody else as i journey, fully protected in my orbit. As long as i stay conscious of my divine pathway. as long as I stay connected with God.

I choose to stay connected with God via the Ho’oponopono way which empowers unlike soooo many formula prayers of religion which seemingly negates that I was made to the image and likeness of God. This may be judged as only my perception but I believe what i was taught!!

After recent domestic conflicts, I am convinced suffering and/or travailing to benefit either Emil or Anne is a ridiculous religious idea. God who is complete, all perfect is not pleased by my sufferings. This was another ridiculous idea of the pagans! Feeding humans to animals then even feeding humans to machines!

I go by my experiences. I have no intention of agonizing over dogmas I used to accept blindly. Not anymore. I no longer want to go into another crisis of Faith! I think I am too old for that.

I am what I believe:

Joe Vitale: “We are living in a belief-driven world. Whatever you believe, that belief will work.”
“It’ll get you through the day, at any rate.”
“It will FRAME your experience into perceptions that make sense to match your worldview, belief system. You’ll find a way to rationalize it and force it to fit”

Recently I wrote an essay about the Frames of my life.

“Urban Shaman”: “The world is what you think it is”
“This is the ability to operate in he world from the perspective of the principles (Shamanism) to see things from that viewpoint rather than in the ordinary way. we often call this operating at second level, instead of at first level.”

Gary Zukov:
“But a multisensory human has a more expanded perception. A multisensory human sees all experience as potential to grow spiritually.”

The Frames of My Life

“Why we Make Mistakes” by Joseph T Hallinan: “A great many dy-to-day errors come about because we frame, or look at, an issue in the wrong way.”

For soooo long my life was framed by the productivity frame.
Margaret Wheatley: “All of u have been taught to make things happen in the physical world. We know what it takes: setting goals, rolling up our sleeves, putting pleasure aside, and working, working, working, working, working.”

“Then it helps if we work harder.”
My early senior years used wistful frames.
Joe Vitale: “Too many people, myself included, were visualizing and affirming, in order to manipulate the world.”

Joseph T. Hallinan: “…how we frame an issue can greatly influence our response to it.”
I have allowed Gill Edwards to influence me with her: “I believe that our first responsibility is to make our own lives work.”

I find Mike Dooley even more specific and relevant with his: “Our first responsibility in life is not to make the world a better place or to tend to those less fortunate bt to live up to our own high standards to act in faith that our dreams are meant to be and to maintain a tolerance and compassion for our own divine journey.”

After I turned 73, I got tired of manipulating the world. Joe Vitale: “too many people, myself included, were visualizing and affirming to manipulate the world.”

At 74 I love life but I have seen how anticipation, worries, control, grasping etc steal so much from cherishing he moments.

I choose to be wise like: Joe Vitale: “I now know that isn’t necessary (visualizing and affirming). You’re better off going in the flow while continually cleaning (Ho’oponopono) whatever comes up.
