When I count my blessings I count them twice and for that I am vibrationally blessed. For many, the ability to count blessings isn’t always that easy. Here is the story of just one boy, who was blessed in a way that later vibrationally made our world wonderful. I am quite sure by the end of this blog you will recognize him. Vibrational Sharing Debbie A Anderson Written by others: A Grandson of slaves, a boy was born in a poor neighborhood of New Orleans known as the "Back of Town." His father abandoned the family when the child was an infant, His mother became a prostitute and the boy and his sister had to live with their grandmother. Early in life he proved to be gifted for music and with three other kids he sang in the streets of New Orleans. His first gains were the coins that were thrown to them. A Jewish family, Karnofsky, who had immigrated from Lithuania to the USA had pity for the 7-year-old boy and brought him into their home. Initially given 'work' in the house, to feed this hungry child. There he remained and slept in this Jewish families home where, for the first time in his life he was treated with kindness and tenderness. When he went to bed, Mrs. Karnovsky sang him a Russian Lullaby that he would sing with her. Later, he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs. Over time, this boy became the adopted son of this family. The Karnofsky’s gave him money to buy his first musical instrument; as was the custom in the Jewish families. They sincerely admired his musical talent. Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in compositions, such as St. James Infirmary and Go Down Moses. The little black boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family who had adopted him in 1907. In memory of this family and until the end of his life, he wore a star of David and said that in this family he had learned "how to live real life and determination." You might recognize him… This little boy was Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971). As the song goes… “……….what a wonderful world…..”. Here are two stories, about two very different men, or are they? I will let you decide, but only after you read both stories. One lead a life filled with crime, the other was a hero. What we should take from these stories is that sometimes life gives us a second chance, the opportunity to make a vibrational difference. Vibrational Sharing, Debbie A. Anderson STORY NUMBER ONE Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block. Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him. Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example. One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done. He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified. Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street. But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine. The poem reads: "The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own….. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still." STORY NUMBER TWO World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific. One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank. He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet. As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his blood cold; a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet. The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet. Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, rendering them unfit to fly. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier. Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Medal of Honor. A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man. So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2. SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son. While re-visiting some of my past writing, I came across a poem I had written in January 1989. Wow, that is 28 years ago! At the time I sensed the spiritual work I was doing was being judged as evil, so I wanted some guidance from the God within me. Acceptance of what I do was not as open and receptive as it is now, and being a sensitive I took on the hurt & ignorance that was being thrown at me. Although our world is more enlightened today, I do still encounter fear of my spiritual work, as I am sure many of you do too. Maybe my words resonate with you, or you have your own. Either way, never fear what is within you spiritually, because eventually we all find our own way. It's all about your intention! I came across this quote from the Bible, which I feel says it all. “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self control.” (Timothy 1:7) Vibrational Sharing, Debbie A. Anderson Sometimes the path I tread is hard & makes me want to cry, Feeling like a door slamming shut, and I wonder why No one said life was easy, and I don’t want it that way. But now I wonder what I did wrong, as I sit and pray. If you can hear me dear God above My heart is filled with your sweet love. I try to do your work so well But teach me right so I can excel. I need to learn, but please show me how Because the world needs LOVE, yours right now! The silence around me seemed far too great I wondered how long I should sit and wait. But no host of angels or music sweet Just a tingling through my body down to my feet. A voice deep from within me, a sense I cried Foolish girl, not only for you that he died. God’s busy now, so he’s sent me through To help YOU see what YOU need to do. I’m just a helper, a guide you might say To help you question and to find your way. How do you learn, so you can teach? Just sit here and listen, I will not preach. Sometimes when you feel you’ve lost your way Accept the life’s lessons you learn each day. Experience comes as you change & grow Always keeping you in the Universal flow. To everyone, My Vibrational prayer for you all is …. have no regrets, take chances, live a life that's full, you love, laugh & cry, once in a while bite off more than you can chew, and finally....much more than this....is I hope in life you do it your way!! Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson My Way…. And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! Yes, it was my way!!! Tribute to Frank Sinantra by Andre Rieu (Holland) & his orchestra choir with My Way on his (Stradivarius) violin. Radio City Music Hall New York July 29, 2006. 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. I have been asked by a few of you if I could pull a card for the week from the newly released Vibrational Earth Children Deck. Although I cannot promise to do this EVERY week, I will do it when I can, promise! This deck, which launched late November 2014 is already being embraced by parents, teachers and educators as a great tool to use to get children to open up and just play. It is non-denominational and all inclusive so it is perfect for working with children from 8 years and upwards…although I have been told many younger children are having fun with it. One element which I had not envisioned, but then again what do I know (smile), is that more and more adults are using this deck to work on inner child matters. This is great news! Any tool that can help us work on ourselves is vibrational. The card for this week is Guiding Star Look up into the night sky and what do you see? Hopefully lots of twinkling stars shining back at you. Do you know its takes around 3,000 light years for the light of those stars to shine for you in the night sky? The universe is full of wonderful and great things, just like you. So don’t be concerned if you don’t immediately see what you are looking for. Choose your guiding star, look at it and imagine what it is directing you to do. Vibrational Earth Children are open to seeing what is not always right in front of them. I think this says it all. Sometimes we just have to be open – this means our heart, mind and eyes! Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson "The Paradoxical Commandments" People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. "The Paradoxical Commandments" were written by Kent M. Keith when he was 19 and a sophomore at Harvard College. He wrote them as part of a book for student leaders entitled The Silent Revolution: Dynamic Leadership in the Student Council, published by Harvard Student Agencies in 1968. Kent’s “Commandments” subsequently spread around the world and have been used by millions of people. The discovery that changed his life was that Mother Teresa had put the Paradoxical Commandments on the wall of her children’s home in Calcutta. Never under estimate the power of your words and what they may mean to others. Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson It is about the soul having the capacity to be positive and perceiving others in the same light. It has been a day today, like many others, yet divergent... and tomorrow will be another day and so you will move forward. If you allow yourselves to get caught in the web of fear or hatred it will hold you in the lower levels of your soul. Each of you can feel the pain, the sorrow, and then release it so that the joy of your vibrational life comes back around to greet you. It is a time of transition, as is any time. It is about learning to accept that you are all together on the earth and need to find a way to connect in the unity of being souls who are recalibrating as one. If there is a weed in your garden, you possibly pluck it out and destroy it. Yet, sometimes that weed transforms into a beautiful flower, one that you would not have had the pleasure of experiencing. Its transformation would never have been seen, if you had not taken the time to tend it with the love within you. Any being, if cultivated in the same fashion as all the others that surrounds it, will grow and expand in love. Forgiving yourselves and those who trespass against you is the unifying song of joy to the Gods within the Universe. For each act of cruelty, we see it superseded with ten acts of kindness and generosity. And yet, sometimes you focus on the negative so much, you forget the wondrous things that are being manifested. It’s not about disregarding the pain and sorrow, but it is harnessing a way to move forward with the vibration that the truth of your world is composed of torment and heartache, laughter and tears. Be focused on what you do as an individual, how you help and honor those surrounding you with everything you do. Don’t allow those who feel the need to destroy, to blemish the purity and magnificence of that which you hold within your heart with enraged hatred. But, instead transform that vibration to love and benevolence. The perception is the knowledge that one day you will all be unified in the kingdom of devotion and compassion. Reach out to your neighbour, the stranger on the street and show them that you care about them. It is not about what they believe in or the colour of their skin. It is about being a human energy being. Take a moment to hold close those you care about and tell them that you love them. Breathe out into the world the joy and blessings from your heart. The foundation of this significant period gives you the freedom to embrace the power of letting go and knowing your heart has nothing more than just that within it. Believe and trust in the peace within your soul, for it will give courage and comfort to those you mourn. Send up your prayers of understanding and perseverance so that the philosophy of the divine universe can cradle the patterns of tolerance and acceptance as you all move forward. For as you do, you reach out to the heavens in the completeness of integrity and truth. Channelled by “The Centre of A” October 22, 2014 to Debbie A. Anderson O, for the gift of wit - Mahatma Gandhi A lovely little anecdote, about one of life's more interesting characters. When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London a white professor; whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him! Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected; there were always "arguments" and confrontations! One day; Mr. Peter`s was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said: "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat." Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied: "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away." and he went and sat at another table. Mr. Peters; reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Mr. Peters; unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating; Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course." Mr. Peters; smiling sarcastically said: "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom." Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded: "Each one takes what he doesn't have." Mr. Peters; by this time was fuming. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move. A few minutes later; Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone: "Mr. Peters, you autographed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade." Whether this is a true story or not... I think you will relate to it on many levels (smile). Have a Vibrational day, Debbie A. Anderson Today marks the 13th anniversary of September 11, 2001 a day when more tragedy fell upon your world. Sadly when a disaster takes many from earth, your soul awakens to see the truth that is within you. This awareness is a change that has to happen for peace to occur within and without the vibration of your life, your world. You are the guardians within our Universe. We invite you all to be part of the vibrational change to heal your planet. As part of your journey you will undertake many experiences. See many events unfold before you, some that will bring the vibration of joy, others that will make you want to cry and give up upon your fellow man. Don’t despair, these are human experiences and feelings, part of the path the earth chose. This is why you are here at this Universal time. This moment in time is associated with the number 13 (1+3) which is the vibration of the energy of inner wisdom, patience and the building of solid foundations. It is the passion and drive within you and your world- both positive and negative. This number resonates with the sense of renewal and sharing of knowledge. It is the voice from within that doesn’t strike out with anger but with compassion and understanding manifesting into practical reality. This responsibility is not easy, and can be unpleasant in a self-sacrificing way, so be aware of this element, honour it, but don’t take it to heart. The firm foundations that you build within this time is about patience and persistence without becoming an oppressor or bully. The vibration of endurance creates serenity and harmony. Manifest changes in a creative and harmonic vibration through the use of your voice – spoken or words sung share the spiritual realms of cooperation, thus opening the gateway to illumination. We on the spirit plane are guiding many of you into awareness of change. A transition that has been opening up for the past five years with a vibrational change that brings natural order back to earth. This transformation is not simple or easy to accomplish. But with us all working together without judgement or negative thoughts the vibration is lifted to a higher plane of order. Remember this day with others, but hold the hope that universal change is within your own soul. Channelled by “The Centre of A” September 11, 2014 to Debbie A. Anderson |
