Here are some spiritual outlooks on life by twelve different people. I was sent this by a friend so sadly don’t know who the writer is, so sharing this with you without credit. As I remind everyone, life is about perspective, each of us with our own viewpoint our own definition. After reading this I hope you will consider things a little differently, with an open mind and heart. Vibrational Blessings Debbie A. Anderson 1. Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I'm working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, "Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile." 2. Today, I asked my mentor - a very successful business man in his 70' s - what his top 3 tips are for success. He smiled and said, "Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing." 3.Today, after my 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn't recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, "On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center ." 4.Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face. 5.Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow. 6.Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother's hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, "I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often." 7.Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy. 8.Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, "Why?" She replied, "So you can help me save the planet." I chuckled again and asked, "And why do you want to save the planet?" Because that's where I keep all my stuff," she said. 9.Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter's antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again. 10.Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, "I hope you feel better soon." 11.Today, I was feeling down because the results of a biopsy came back malignant. When I got home, I opened an e-mail that said, "Thinking of you today. If you need me, I'm a phone call away." It was from a high school friend I hadn't seen in 10 years. 12.Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe . He said he hadn't eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating. The first thing the man said was, "We can share it." The best sermons are lived, not preached. This is a wonderful, so I want to share it... I apologize for not giving credit to the author, but thank them for being so wise...... enjoy..... Why do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character? How is it possible that I can get along with them all? I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me. With one of them I am polite. With another I joke, with another I can be a bit naughty... I can sit down and talk about serious matters with one. With another I laugh a lot. I listen to one friend's problems. Then I listen to another one's advice for me. My friends are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When completed, they form a treasure box. A treasure of friends! They are my friends who understand me better than I understand myself. They're friends who support me through good days and bad. Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being. Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments, it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%. I'm so happy that I have a stock of Vitamin F! In summary, we should value our friends and keep in touch with them. We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together and pray for each other in the tough moments. SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE FRIENDS ON LINE. I KNOW I AM PART OF THEIRS BECAUSE THEIR NAMES APPEAR ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN OFTEN AND I FEEL BLESSED THAT THEY CARE AS MUCH FOR ME AS I CARE FOR THEM. THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF MY VITAMINS! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP IS THAT WE CAN GROW SEPARATELY WITHOUT GROWING APART. And by the way, this applies to family too...... so have a vibrational day enjoying your dose of Vitamin F!!! Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson A while ago I went to a concert where Toto & Michael McDonald were performing alongside each other. It was a glorious evening of listening to great music that I knew the words to (smile). But what was touching to me was that these artists obviously not only enjoyed what they did, but embraced working alongside each other. Toto being the opening band invited Michael McDonald to join them, then when it was the closing song, Michael McDonald had Toto come back out on stage. Michael introduced his band members with admiration, many, including Toto being close friends in the business for many years, which shone throughout the evenings performance. When he introduced Tommy Sims, one of the co-writers of the song Eric Clapton made famous, “Change The World” it lead into Michael McDonald reminding the audience, as human beings that we need to learn to live together as one, which got a roar from the crowd. This was followed by lead guitarist Steve Lukather, from Toto, giving an electrical rendition of Amazing Grace. As this electrical euphoria filled the auditorium where 5000 people were gathered together, I imagined how each of us could individually change the world we live in with simple acts of kindness and acceptance. The Universal shift that is currently happening is about unconditional love. The vibration of benevolence would evoke a different perception in our world. We each need to take responsibility for the positive energy we can create in life. Whether that is acceptance of others and the faith they follow, or helping someone without any expectation of something in return. Imagine how our spiritual acts would evolve, based on only our purest intentions. I sense it would be the emergence of sincerity, kindness and acceptance living in total harmony within our world. So, what are you waiting for..... YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!! Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson If I could grant one wish to you all, it would be to embrace the Vibrational Blessings that you get given every single day. Debbie A. Anderson Every day is Christmas when you have the kind of mind, That stores up all the goodness and the sweetness it can find When you don't need an occasion, to spread a bit of cheer, But just keep on a-giving, of yourself throughout the year. Every day is Christmas, with a gaily wrapped surprise, When you've learned to see the friendship in someone else's eyes. When you try a little harder, and complain a little less, Holding fast to all the fervor of the faith that you possess. Every day is Christmas, when you've found that you can be More concerned with words like 'you' and less with 'I' and 'me'. When it's fun to do a favor, and to lend a helping a hand, When being understood means less, than when you understand. Every day is Christmas, with a beauty deeply cast, When you find it doesn't matter, if you're first or if you're last When you can face your conscience, and be glad of who you are, Then every day is Christmas, for you'll have friends near and far. ~ Author Unknown Tomorrow is 888. August (8th month), 8th day, and 2015 = 8. So a very powerful combination!! It’s all about manifesting abundance and inviting in that vibrational flow of infinite amazement. The “biggy” on our side of the fence, that is our humanness, needs to be kept in check. Basically don’t let yourself be pulled in the direction of negativity if things don’t work out right first time. This powerful number is the vibration of keeping things in a down to earth practicality. For instance, don’t dream of owning a large yacht if you haven’t got the knowledge of sailing or are not good at sea. Dream yourself a dream of what you can and will utilize for your personal self. Manifesting with 888 is about the vibration of realism and usefulness. If your car is dying, then it is evident that you need a car that is reliable, inexpensive to run, safe etc. You can see where I am going with this. Keep it real for you. Of course I add my note of caution to your wishing. With every dream comes responsibility and taking ownership for our actions. So, as it is said, be careful what you dream for… because you may get it! Dreaming or wishing is the combination of our thoughts and actions that create the balance in our physical soul being, and so it is thus in our spiritual world. The two are in tandem with each other. You only have to look at the figure 8 to realize there is no beginning and no end. It just keeps looping around and around, in infinity. The universal flow which is the synergy of harmony vibrating within our inner and outer world, like us they are connected. Like any time in our lives, we have the potential to draw upon our angels, guides and helpers. So if you are not truly positive about what you want, ask them for guidance. They seem to know, and they will let us know in no uncertain terms because they want us to live our life to its full potential. That is why they are there – for us! When we reach out to the Universe, we are vibrationally supported – so reach out and tap into your 888 abundance!! Vibrational Blessings Debbie A. Anderson It’s funny the way that life can throw you certain curve balls, and depending upon where you are at that point on your journey determines whether you will either catch them or toss them aside. My latest one, came out of the blue, as they seem to do. It happened when I was rushed into the Royal Brisbane Hospital to have an Oesphagoscopy. When admitted at Emergency, I was asked many administrative questions, which was a challenge in itself, but the one that had me stumped was the question “What is your religion?” You see I have always deemed myself “spiritual” with earth related tendencies, but had never been forced to place a religious name to it. After struggling uncomfortably for several minutes, I asked the very patient registrar what were my options surrounding this part of the questioning? I wasn’t stalling, but rather hoping that someone else, who had gone before me and encountered the same quandary, had identified a category that I would fall within. I think her look of indicated a little distain with my approach. Perhaps she thought I was trying to choose the most popular. She did reluctantly share the “main stream” options, even one for Atheist, which I think she was ready to mark off for me. I realized my preferences were now basically a choice between either “Christian” or “Other”. I took a moment to ponder on my childhood upbringing in the fold of the Church of England. Although it was a “staple” of my learning in essence as I do believe in God, but not in the man-made conventional way it has been interpreted. My so called controversial perspective or belief is that God did exist within every single one of us as we embraced our love and understanding with mankind. As the bible states “…. so God created man in his own image…”, thus making us God. At this point I didn’t want to start spouting off a lecture surrounding these principals just as much as I didn’t want to fall into the desolate category of “other”. So this opportunity to face something I had yet truly understood, made me wonder if the word “spiritual” could be deemed a religion? Could those of us that don’t follow a cult or veneration be allowed to choose this very encompassing direction? Frankly I have no idea who to petition to “change the rules of engagement” and dearly hope that none of you have to be placed in this situation in the future. I believe that being spiritual is a greater calling than any religious stamp society wants to place upon us. Please don’t get me wrong, or send me hate mail, as I honour and accept that if you have found a religion that “sings” to your heart, you are vibrationally blessed. Vibrational Sharing, Debbie A. Anderson On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" And God saw it was good. On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?" And God, again saw it was good. On the third day, God created the cow and said,"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed it was good. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it." So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you! Author Unknown This was such a beautiful analogy and a bit of fun, so I hope you enjoyed it!! Vibrational sharing, Debbie A. Anderson The secret to being rich lies in remembering that friendships are priceless, time is invaluable, health is wealth, and love is a treasure. Create a nest egg of beautiful memories that you can dip into from time to time to ease any sorrows. Have the kind of remembrances that raise you up with their worth and keep you there with their wonder. Always have a supply of hopes on hand to help you plan your tomorrows. Remember that when you invest in your dreams, it is impossible to overpay. Give away smiles, and watch them come back to you a hundred times over. Stuff your pockets with kindness and optimism; there is nothing more precious in the world. I'm sharing this advice with you today because you are a treasured piece in the puzzle of my life. ~Author Unknown I know I am rich on every level because of the blessings I receive every single moment of every single day, so thanked you for being in my life! Vibrational Thanks Debbie A. Anderson Whatever your belief, whatever your feelings, this is a time of celebration. Our children are our future and amazing energy beings that seem to enlighten us along our pathway. This is for children everywhere. Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson At Christmas time I believe the things that children do: I believe with English children that holly placed in windows will protect our homes from evil. I believe with Swiss children that the touch of Edelweiss will charm a person with love. I believe with Italian children that La Befana is not an ugly doll but a good fairy who will gladden the heart of all. I believe with Greek children that coins concealed in freshly baked loaves of bread will bring good luck to anyone who finds them. I believe with German children that the sight of a Christmas tree will lessen hostility among adults. I believe with French children that lentils soaked and planted in a bowl will rekindle life in people who have lost hope. I believe with Dutch children that the horse Sleipner will fly through the sky and fill the earth with joy. I believe with Swedish children that Jultomte will come and deliver gifts to the poor as well as to the rich. I believe with Finnish children that parties held on St.Stephen's Day will erase sorrow. I believe with Danish children that the music of a band playing from a church tower will strengthen humankind. I believe with Bulgarian children that sparks from a Christmas log will create warmth in human souls. I believe with American children that the sending of Christmas cards will build friendships. I believe with all children that there will be peace on earth. By Daniel Roselle (1920- ) Historian and Author I was invited to submit a channeled message to Sedona Journal of Emergence for their Annual Predictions 2015 & Beyond issue. I am blessed to announce I am one of 76 authors published in this issue, you can find me on page 26. Here is what was channeled to me on September 23, 2014 by the group I work with known as “The Centre of A”. I hope it helps you on your vibrational journey. Debbie A. Anderson As you move forward into 2015, the simplicity of the vibrational camaraderie of humanity is love. Never thinking ill of another, because a thought should be used wisely. Love and peace is given to ALL, in the hope that one day you shall live as one, regardless of beliefs or thoughts. Not to judge by creed or colour, whether you are of man, woman or child. Stop placing values on whether you are rich or poor because this is NOT important to the spiritual body. Take the responsibility of caring for your brothers and sisters whether they are close by you or oceans away. Don’t allow hatred or greed to feed upon your living soul, because this only builds a wall around you. Perceive others from the inside, because that is all you should really see. Always give comfort and encouragement to everyone. Stop yourself before you hurt others, even if they have done so to you it doesn’t make it right. Instead, step away from the negative and send out thoughts of light and vibrational healing. Remember to allow everyone the right to find enlightenment on whatever pathway they so choose. This story we share because we want you, as a child of the Universal light, to expand your knowledge. Once upon a time an enlightened being sat with the children to share the story about being different yet the same. Their faces lit with eagerness to hear of such completeness. When the knowledge had been shared a small voice asked “but why am I a different colour to my friends?” The teacher replied “think of each of you being a parcel covered in paper – if you cannot see or know what is inside, do you throw it away. Or do you peel back the layers to reveal what is within? Do not be deterred by what is on the surface, it is your divine right to always take a moment to look inside. Each one of you are special, and if you look very closely you will see that you are all created from a different mould. Each of you fashioned for a specific purpose for this life on earth. If everyone was the same, then our Universe would not have had the challenge in creating you…. and you would not have been given the opportunity to find yourself. It is about total completeness and unity, because whatever your beliefs, you are all part of the same Universe and are loved eternally. This journey, as always, has been about you as an individual spiritual human being. As you overcome each element that you choose to experience on earth you move on to the next and so on. As you measure in minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, we do not. We only measure the vibration of what has happened in that moment, not in the past or the future because neither exist at that time. As you emerge into 2015, as a year of many years, but one of significant importance to your world. You will start to understand being and seeing the vibrational changes around you, including yourself. If you are still caught up in the bitterness or pain, then you need to break free and be your own spiritual being on a cellular level. If you let yourself remove this barrier from your human existence then you will begin to understand what we have been sharing with you in the time that is NOW. The year 2015 is about being YOU in balance with your fellow being, and also being the stone that drops into the still waters and creates the simple ripples that go out and touch everything around you. If you are of anger then this triggers something that will grow and manifest in you and others. If you are at peace the same happens but the transformation is rippled back to you again and again. If you are in the being of NOW and doing what you are meant to do, then there is nothing that needs to change. If you are encased in the layers of you that you have not yet released, you will continue to be held by your own self rather than any universal changes that always occur in your world. The victim will always be the victim if they don’t climb out of that shell and become the butterfly who is free to fly away. The life you chose at the time of your birth was one that you felt you needed to experience. Once the experience has been achieved then you are free to move onto the next one and so on. Each life is not made up of just one lesson to be learned or acknowledged. It is of many - those you chose, those you decided upon. But always in the energy of love and peace. Once you realize this, you will be able to move forward in the vibration of your learning. If you continue to keep yourself in the loop of pain and agony, it is only you who can change it. It is not our intention to create you suffering, it is our pleasure to have you embrace the vibrational joy of living a life full of everything you chose. This entry into 2015 is about being in a place where you can actually see and manifest what you want vibrationally. When did you last close your eyes and imagine something beautiful, something so imaginative that you felt it wasn’t real? The more you do this, the more your thoughts will reveal a magnificent path for you. If you are not open to the subtle messages or direction given to you, by your inner soul, then try to be. The more you do this the more it becomes a part of your everyday life, the one you are meant to live. The alignment of your spiritual body has always been with you and you are the one who can release it with freedom and bliss. The vibration of change is like a breath of nature’s cool air blowing onto your face. If you choose to resist it then all you sense is discomfort rather than a gentle breeze cooling you down on a warm summer’s day. As we enter this, the Acacian Age, it is about you and your journey as it unfolds. Being a part of your world rather than your world being a part of you. The more you connect to your own stillness, the more you sense the waves of vibration connecting you to your higher self so you can shift with ease and wonder. This passage is one of the most amazing times for you, so treasure it and be open to the transformations that are surrounding you and your fellow humankind. We have spoken in the past of the refinements that will make you sensitive and compassionate. Now they are here, and you are all part of this. We know you are perceptive in the wisdom to accept this new wave of direction with the knowledge that we, as always, are here to guide you. |
