BELIEVING MIRRORS

 

Dear Friends,

In the May edition of the ‘Science of Mind’ magazine, Diana J Ensign talked about “Believing Mirrors.” I love that term. She quoted Julia Cameron, “Find people who you can go to for encouragement. Find those who are optimistic and reflect back to you your gifts, and embolden you to envision for yourselves what you may not yet have discovered within.”.” Sometimes we need our believer friends to reflect back to us who we are and encourage us in all we do. Having family and friends that are supportive is a gift of love.

When I was going through my back and leg pain challenge, I had to rely on Steve and my friends as Believing Mirrors, knowing my Truth. I am a divine child of the most high, forever perfect, whole and complete. I was in too much pain to pray and know the truth for myself. Because so many people were praying and declaring my truth for me, I was able to pray and see it for myself.

There will be naysayers in our life and unfortunately when we listen to the “you can’t, you shouldn’t, it won’t work” words of discouragement, we fall off our purposeful path where a God Given Idea falls away. My husband Steve is a Creative Visionary and Writer. He has said over the years, when he has an idea and someone says “you couldn’t possibly do that,” he goes ahead and does it.

Not only can supportive family and friends help us, we can become our own“believing mirror.” Stand in front of a mirror and say affirmations confirming your hearts desire, dream and goal. We know the more we say what we want, and feel it is ours already, the Universe (as our subconscious mind) will say YES.

“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what they think into it.” –   Ernest Holmes

BELOVED POPE FRANCIS – BE IN JOY

 

 

 

 

 

 

POPE FRANCIS

 

We are very saddened to hear of Pope Francis’s passing. He was beautiful soul, compassionate, caring and beloved. Our heartfelt prayers are with our Catholic brothers and sisters all over the world.  We know there is no death, just a doorway to the Divine Realm.  Be Glorious and filled with Joy.                                                                              With Love, Abigail and Steve Albert

“The People’s Pope.   The first Latin American Pontiff. Francis led with humility and simplicity while advocating for economic and social justice.”                                             San Diego Union Tribune 4.22.25

“We join the world in both mourning the death of Pope Francis and thanking God for his loving heart. We who carry an interfaith instinct for peace among religions, thank God for his generous spirit and wide embrace. ”                                                                    – Bishop Swing, Founder and President Emeritus of URI

People Suffer, Be COMPASSIONATE

Dear Friends,

I have been feeling so grateful for everything and everyone in my life. It has been 2 months since I had excruciating pain in my back and leg. Going through that experience really helped me reflect on LIFE, and how important it is to have someone there for you, who loves and cares for you. I appreciate my husband Steve so much. Then just as I was feeling better and about ready to drive, Steve’s back went out. So I became the loving caretaker.  Today we both rejoice feeling so much better and ready to continue our purpose and mission in the world.

I reflected on how I felt so much compassion for those in wheelchairs, and people using walkers since I just had that experience. It opened my heart more, and my awareness to those who are in pain and/or have a disability to deal with daily. I choose to make a phone call, send an email to someone who is having a challenge, just out of a hospital, needing a person to talk to. I said “to” because the person just needs someone to listen. Hold back on advice.

Just recently when Steve was volunteering at the hospital, he saw a lady come through the door with both legs amputated from the knee down and only one arm. It reminded me, no matter what I am going through, others are suffering much more. Many people are dealing with life in an incomplete physical body. Others are dealing with life in pain emotionally and spiritually. We may not be able to SEE what they are going through, however EVERYONE goes through some pain, suffering and hardship in life.

We are here to be compassionate. We are here to be loving. We are here to be kind especially to someone who is rude to us, has said unkind words and hurt us in someway. We do not know what they are going through. Let us just see a blanket of God’s LOVE flowing over and through them and enfolding them in a bubble of Divine Light. Say a prayer for them.

Love and Compassion

LOVE and FORGIVE Lessons from Holy Week

Dear Friends,

Holy Week is here and Sunday is Easter, the day Jesus the Christ changed the world by rising up from death to show there is no death. Life is eternal.God through Jesus brought a new vision, new commandments and new understanding of God’s Love, Forgiveness and Will for all people.

Three verses come to mind.                                                                                               I give to you a new commandment…Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.John 13:34

 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”Mark 12: 30-31

“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

As humans we are here to unfold Spiritually, and learn from our mistakes.Jesus, as a brilliant teacher laid out what we are to do:

  • Love and put God first
  • Love everyone,
  • Love ourselves,
  • Forgive those who hurt us,
  • Forgive ourselves for past mistakes and wrong doings,

Simply put, GOD LOVES us and we are to Love as GOD Loves. GOD FORGIVES us. We are to Forgive as GOD forgives.

All is meant to bless us. I mean ALL. When we are facing issues and heartaches with health, house, family, friends, let us put a blanket of LOVE around ALL people and situations including us. Call forth LOVE and watch GOD be God in the outcome. Miracles happen when you put God first, Love your neighbor as yourself and forgive all.

Let hurt and anger go. It no longer serves you. Our Master Teacher, Jesus the Christ, loved his torturers, forgave them and surrendered to his Highest Good!

HAPPY EASTER.

May you Rise in Love, Faith, Forgiveness and Peace,                                                        Abigail and Steve

Sacred Sowing

Dear Friends,

We are in the Season for the Earth, a seasonal event co- created by the HH the Dalai Lama and the Association for Global New Thought under the guidance of our beloved and late Dr. Barbara Fields. What a wonderful time to focus our attention on Mother Earth and  begin some “sacred sowing,” as Jeffon Seely says in his article in the Science of Mind Magazine. He says,

“While preparing this garden bed, an insight struck me. This soil existed since the dawn of time. It carries the whispers of ancient stars and the essence of creation itself. The energy that enables these elements to exist has always been and always will be. The energy is the same Essence that not only empowers me to exist but also is behind all things. Simply put, in my interaction with this soil, I interact with the Divine.”

As the soil existed from the beginning of time, our ancestors came before us and were essential in creating who we are today.

Wherever we go, whomever we see and talk with, we are interacting with The Divine. The flower you bend down to smell is the Divine. The person you speak with is the Divine. The stars you wonder at, is the Divine. Everything in its essence has been here since the beginning of time.

How can we not be in awe of LIFE itself and everything in it.

  • As you work in your home gardens, till the soil, water the seeds, can you take that experience and apply it to your own lives?
  • Are you watering the seeds of your talents and gifts you bring into this world?
  • Are you weeding out the negative thoughts, especially those instilled by others?
  • Are you forgiving yourself, loving yourself and others to spring forth a glorious and splendorous YOU.

YOU are the Divine and your essence has existed since the beginning of time.

  •  What seeds of potential will you choose to plant today?
  • What will you intentionally and consciously grow?” ( Jeffon Seely)

Sacredly Sowing Seeds of Life,                                                                                         Abigail and Steve

The Beatitudes

Dear Friends,

During this Season of Lent I was guided to read the Beatitudes, the lovely Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus. Spirit through Jesus told us how to live our lives with love, and compassion. Enjoy the reading and the meaning of each verse.

“The main message of the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew chapters 5-7, is a call to a higher standard of righteousness and a life of love, compassion, and selflessness, embodying the “Kingdom of God” ethic. “(Bible Gateway)

Take these into your morning meditation and receive the blessings from them.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: theirs is the kingdom of heaven.                                       O how happy are they, who regardless of their circumstances, humbly remain in total alignment with the radiant center of the Holy Breath: they are open in all their capacities for the Great Outshining to pour through them everywhere.

Blessed are they that mourn; they shall be comforted.                                                     O happy are the ones who grieve in their longings and wanderings for whatever is lost, denied, isolated, excluded and hiding in themselves and in their relationships: they will be woven together in a larger whole; they will find new visibility of joy and welcoming: an expansion of ripeness, refreshment – the fulfillment of unifying love.

Blessed are the meek; they shall inherit the earth.                                                           O how attuned to the Holy Source are those who water and soften what is hard-hearted, dry and rigid in themselves: in their gentling they will receive new strength and expansion from the Holy Breath.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; they shall be filled.                                                                                                                             How healed are those with starving open mouths, completely dry and burned out, longing into the night for inward, social and universal peace and balance: they will be completely fulfilled and encompassed by feeding and fruitful birthing.

Blessed are the merciful; they shall obtain mercy.                                                            How united with the Holy Presence are those who from within the deep, dark depths of the womb respond by radiating the warmth of mercy, love and caring: they shall feel the warm embrace from the Holy Center.

Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see God.                                                         How aligned with the Holy One are those who with purposeful persistence radiate love continuously and powerfully from their center: they shall behold like lightning the sudden flashing of the Holy One.

Blessed are the Peacemakers; they shall be called the children of God                          How unified are the ones who are inwardly woven together and committed continuously to planting peace in the world by greeting others in ways that sound forth tones of harmony and establish mutual wellbeing: they shall be called cleared-out conduits and fountains – expressions of the flow of Divine Goodwill.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.                                                                                                          Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.                                                                     How blessed are they who are dislocated, disrupted and torn apart, knocked out of their boundaries and comfort zones – shattered for doing their best for the Highest: spurs of adversity can expand them into new directions and light frequencies.

The explanation of the Beatitudes are from the The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts (commonly called the Lamsa Bible) published by George M. Lamsa in 1933.
