RE-VISITING OLD HABITS--You May Be Surprised

From Keys of Jeshua by Glenda Green


"All habits need review and examination."

"Habits are to the body what judgments are to the consciousness. Both are deployed without further thought, and both prevent response and sensitivity to the truth of the moment. Both prevent change." Jeshua (Jesus)


I recently had a very profound realization of this "truth."  For the past several years I have suffered from infections around my finger nails.  It is called paronychia.

Working in the kitchen as a cook and dishwasher at Lupin Lodge along with cleaning bathrooms and yurts I was continually plagued by these painful infections.
I tried everything to get rid of it--all kinds of salves, various gloves, cotton gloves within rubber gloves.
I always wore gloves because I've always worn gloves when I wash dishes.  That has been my habit.

A couple of weeks ago I stopped wearing gloves.  Guess what?  The paronychia is almost gone--certainly way less infection and pain than before.  Now I do not wear gloves to do these kinds of jobs.

A great example of why habits "need review and examination."

BUMPING INTO NOT ME

Bumping into Not Me By Errol Strider (pretending to be me) Easing into this moment… as I attempt to wend my way around the obstacles of my life… those judgments I project before me... that cause me to stumble and fall and have to watch the ground in order not to bump into the sharp edged walls that I make of everyone by the way I shape them according to how they are not me. -- Errol Strider, Artistic Director The Laughing Heart (415) 459-4512 http://striderinnertainment.com/ http://www.insightoutwitherrol.blogspot.com/ http://www.utopiaradio.com/ estrider@gmail.com

IS GOD TWO-FACED? Part 2 "Let's Face It"

Image
Let's face it, it's nice to share a meal with someone you can relate to. When I want heartfelt comfort and soul nourishment…it really is immensely satisfying to know that I am in a relationship with a very intimate "Other"…and indeed, the more I surrender (snuggle up) to that Other-ness, the more I recognize that the other enjoys companionship just as much as I do. The meal just tastes better when we're sharing the same grass. But just to keep the scales balanced (I am a Libra), I love grazing in the open fields of un-endingness and non-distinction…it's relaxing, it's satisfying, there's no resistance and there's more than enough to go around. So let's face it...it's good to abide in "both/and".. which calls me to be a compassionate "other" when life needs "me-othering" and as permeating presence in the pastures of consciousness when distinction just gets in the way. So, thanks Jesus and thanks Buddha. Even tho...

MICHAEL MOORE, "COOPERATION...A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE STORY"

Image
Text message from God: "When you step into the Do-duality, don't get it all over yourself.." I saw Michael Moore's movie, "Capitalism, a Love Story" last night. I can imagine many of us going, "Ooooo!" "Yuk" "They're awful." "What can we do?" Then we're taken over by a feeling of impotence or simply the distractions and the compulsivity's of our own needs and wants, and it becomes just another movie. And we become, like the guards at the doors of the big corporations that Mr. Moore approached… "Sorry, you can't talk to our CEO, let alone convert him/her." And what is the CEO or your consciousness? For most of us it is a false sense of who we are concocted out of our need to separate ourselves in order to know ourselves…hence…greed, denial, apathy, war/competition, dis-ease, etc. I suggest that we start by becoming a little reflective…rather than reflexive. Consider: We are unlikely to change...
