Getting a little controversial

I posted on my Facebook page:
"I think I need to get a little more controversial..."

A reply asked "Why?"

So upon delving into mind why I said that,
I've come up with the following answer.

It is time to spread my wings.

I need to learn to stand by my words, ideas, convictions
and not let the fear of other people's impressions
hold me back from expressing myself.

I need to learn to deflect attacks and not take them personally;
to build a thicker skin as I wade into deeper waters.

I need to learn to accept that there will be those who disagree with me
and that does not invalidate my view or have any bearing on my value
as a person (and, especially, upon my soul.)

It is time to test myself... take all my experiences and use them
to push against my own boundaries.

It is time to lose the fear or face the fear.

All Purpose Is Equal

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.. yet I still have a purpose. It may be very menial or seem unimportant but ALL that has purpose IS necessary.. therefore all purpose is equal.

AbFabGab Campbell's review of The Twelve Sacred Principles of Karma

The Twelve Sacred Principles of Karma by Steven L Hairfield


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book clarified and enhanced my knowledge of LOA (Law of Attraction). Mr. Hairfield tells his story of his years with the monks and what they taught him in a fluid style. LOA is just one of the 12 principles reviewed within. To truly understand LOA, you need to learn about the other principles and how they all work together. If you want to understand more about LOA and how it really works, this book is for you.

Fear

Is fear an expectation?

"...in each instance you did NOT fear the "reality" that was right in front of you in the moment of now, but the negative expectation— thought— of what bad thing might happen next."

Fear is a Hoax (and Happy Halloween)

Seek Joy!

Awakening Joy by Cindy Teevens
It follows everything I have learned thus far via ACIM, Abraham-Hicks and others.
It was easy reading, made sense to me and I found it a good addition to my LOA learning!

It's too good not to share.

Where's the baby?

The following expression has been quite useful in my life,
many times over:

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Sometimes I meet people that I disagree with or
follow a different life philosophy than me.

Rather than dismissing the person as someone that I
don't need to know, interact with or be friends with,
I try to find something I can relate to and start
from there. Often such people give me my greatest
lessons in life.

This applies to groups or situations as well
(church, school, society.)

Here is an example:
I love animals. (I was a even a vegetarian for awhile.)
The idea of hunting an animal saddens me.

But I learned to get beyond that initial feeling
and not judge someone who hunts because I disagree
with hunting.

Same thing with religion.
Some people have beliefs that I do not share.
Sometimes I'm pulling my hair out in frustration,
yelling "But..." (in my head, not at them.. lol)

I have gotten quite a few "aha" moments on my own journey
from people who think differently than me.

My point in this post is to keep your mind open.
Don't worry I'm not looking to convert anyone. ; >
We all have our own path to walk.
.. and we can all learn from each other.
