I personally believe in a God. My God set the universe into motion with universal laws. the laws have components like situations/challenges. i don’t believe in trials sent by God as taught be religion.

“Although you may take them [situations]  personally, situations in your life don’t happen to you.  They just happen and you are involved in them according to the way you respond to [them].”    (Michael Tamura)

The day I drew the distinction between God and the universe, I did not have horrible challenges. The glitch on my website “healed” by itself. My 2nd hand Nokia behaved. With or without a cane, my walking kept improving.

I learned personally, the hard way, of course, that challenges are opportunities to use creatively God’s gifts given to me before I came to this life. Challenges are not meant to be faced with paralyzing fears nor to be endured in martyrdom! These are my new personal BELIEFS.

My god gave me ALL the gifts needed to create the reality I want. This was done prior to my coming to this earth. The universe, not God, allows situations to come my way to push me to use God’s gifts.

“…life is constantly creating and one episode will trigger the next, dependent on our response to each situation.”   (Dr Christine Page)

I am helped to understand the above by what I constantly encounter on Facebook. I choose to hide ads but the process gives an array of options, adding to the need to hide more options!

My god wants me to use All his gifts before I return to him, my Source. Otherwise I will have to return to earth to learn the lessons needed to use my gifts. I very reluctantly submit to the idea or re-incarnation.

I am writing my views on God for my Health and my Sanity.

My health and sanity are dependent on ideas from my husband which I have refined. i rarely completely agree with him even if I repeatedly aver, next to God, he is the smartest but not the holiest!

I have no intention of picking a fight with any religion nor any believer.

“You are no longer completely identical to your tribe and its mass mind once you enter into the mysteries of having your own PERSONAL INNER LIFE and especially when you act on it.”     (Jim Gilkeson”

My health and sanity are founded on the books of :Dr Christine Page, Dr Jon Sarno, Dr Bruce Lipton. I have learned from Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks, Lynn Grabhorn, Michael Tamura, Alan Seale, Sylvia Boorstein etc.

I have been influenced by Tato Malay and Dr Jean Netario Cruz. Through the many challenges, at times overwhelming and exhausting, I have been driven by the mission to awaken our daughter, Julie Anne.

Dr Christine  Page has warned: “If the vibration of the SOUL is simply allowed to replace that of the personality (I am an ISTJ) then the shift occur with the minimum disruption to the life of the individual”. But that is not my reality.

I certainly can’t blame my God!

“Spiritual initiation involves more than just a ‘pleasant thought’ picture in the head, it requires courage and commitment from the heart and a willingness to step forward, often into the unknown, having faith in the wisdom of the universe.”   (Dr Christine Page)

I personally know how much courage and commitment it takes yet I am peaceful because I have an inner knowing that I have opted for what is right for me.

Margaret Wheatly wrote: ” “We’re old enough to know that life will keep interrupting our plans and surprising us at every turn of the way. It helps to notice this wisdom that we’ve been forced to acquire. Surprise is less traumatic once we accept it as a fact of life.”

I am helped by the universe. I have received personal messages from Dr Page, Alan Seale, WAKI Indonesia Tato Malay and messages from my prayer warriors from the dead.

“…the plan of the individual is more important than that of the creator.” (Dr Page) This would send ministers from my church and believers into a livid state.

Stepping forward into the unknown for me means following my own path. It also means allowing both my husband and our daughter to follow their own paths.

To me it personally means that I have learned the hard way that the universe does not honor entitlement. It does not feel inclined to respect schedules agreed upon by my husband and myself.

I no longer blame anything nor anybody, not even myself. Ho’oponopono taught me well – the hard way. I choose to stay firm in my new belief that God has given me all the tools I need to create the reality I want. Instead of worrying or resenting changes I choose to be more creative  in using god’s gifts so I can manifest the reality i want. I am not a master yet so I experience a lot of difficulties especially physically/emotionally.

The quotes are from Esther Hicks. “Whenever you are choosing to think unkind thoughts about yourself (or anyone), you are counter to our Inner Being, who only feels love for you.”

“When you degrade, scold or criticize yourself, you are out of alignment with the greater part of yourself and there are no greater crippling thoughts than those of self-denigration. When you give yourself the benefit of the doubt you realign with who-you-really are.”

“Some say, that a refusal to look at your own shortcomings is a state of denial that is not healthy. We reply that pointing out your own shortcomings i the greatest state of denial for it separates you from who-you-really-are.”

I have had a lot of blessings, too numerous to be narrated, ever since I assumed this different perspective taught by Esther Hicks. I have changed my outlook from considering myself a sinner to being a winner as taught by George Sison. Believe me. I have attracted blessings. God does not want martyrs. God wants us to enjoy heaven here. This is not a valley of tears!!!!

“It is of value to notice that even though nothing has changed outwardly the feeling of being overwhelmed has lifted because you have focused your thoughts back into alignment with who-you-really-are.”

In another essay I wrote that for me the fastest way to realign is to be grateful for something or somebody. It gets faster every time for me.

Tamura: “The more we can disengage our awareness from reactive emotion and reclaim our neutrality the better we can realign ourselves to our soul energies, awareness and purpose.”

Alan Seale: “If you can dream it, you can achieve it. Whatever you can fully develop within your imagination you can also create in physical reality if you remain focused and are willing to take the necessary steps.”

Quotes are from “When Women were Drummers”. Thanks to Francis Gaspar (R.I.P.)

“Cultural transformation begins with Individual transformation.” I believe that addresses my longing to live in another country to escape the volatile conditions here. But I know and have been reminded “escape” will just escalate the problems. I have to deal personally and first accept my PRESENT before improvements can materialize. I draw strength from my husband from Tato Malay and from Marito Platon.

“In reviewing the past we envision the future. We are faced with the necessity of evolving a
a new social structure.”

“Evolving” is an attractive word to me. It reminds me of my divinity – my power to create my reality. I dream of a social order where religion and religious practices do not dominate daily life to clash with the political realities. I dream of a structure similar to that of Singapore.

“A patterns of behavior are brought up from the unconscious, we can begin to change distorted or unhealthy behavior.”

My issues against man-made rules by the church have distorted my worldview as I deal with a new type of governance I personally favor.

“When the world and the self are equally expressions of divinity, every act becomes sacred.”
This is the new structure I want.

“Primordial religion placed the self in the context of nature as a a whole, understanding her, recognizing her as the mother of all, identifying with her rhythms.” This is very inspiring. This message is similar to what the old Hawaiian worldview taught before the people were Christianized. The more expansive insight comes from Tato Malay: before people have been churchified!

“No species had the right to exploit another. In the new order even animals will have rights. This even if I am not a pet lover at all. Other creatures from other planets will have to be considered.

“if there was a fall from grace, it was a fall out of the rhythm.”  Not the Biblical original sin! This has been my view for at least two years now.

Finally from Dr Christine Page:
“If God is omnipotent then the obvious place to start to explore its presence and to see its reflection is within our core and not within the mind set of others.”
