The key to peace in life is knowing that I am not God, knowing my place in the world.  Like Job I say "though he slay me, yet shall I trust Him".......When you love the God that slays you, what is there to fear?

This is my prayer now:

You are God; I am not.
Do whatever you're going to do today;  I'm with you all the way.
Just sayin' 'nough said.
Peace Out :)

I read through my older posts, and I am amazed that I continue to view the world the same way.  I live in peace today.  I feel that I do live in the "secret place of the Most High" and am sheltered there.  Life arises, and it runs through the truth of scriptures.  I remain eternally grateful for my life which is hidden with Christ in God.  I am safe, always.  Of this I am sure.  I love the Lord, and I love this life he has given to me, this opportunity to serve love in this material world.  As long as I have breath, I will praise Him.

The stance that brings me the most joy in life is that of joining others in the innocence.  Every person I encounter I see in total innocence.  I see them through Christ's eyes, and they are beautiful, every single one.  Every single person started in innocence, and that is the way I want to view them and myself.  It brings me great peace and joy.  I see love stories all around me.  I am living in eternity, in love, purity and innocence.  I am already home.  I do not believe in death.  I believe in eternal life unfolding at each moment, and I trust what is arising in front of me to be "for my highest good" as Byron Katie puts it so eloquently.

Life is beautiful.  I see it all through the eyes of a child.  I do not do the Byron Katie "turn arounds" so much as I simply live in the energy of innocence and new life in Christ.  That is the sweet spot in which I reside. 

I view all "bad news" in this same light.  I see all the players as small children, innocent and I hold this for them in their confusion.  This is the way I pray, and this is the way I play......in innocence.

Wellness, life, perfection, wholeness....tapping into these leaves me energized.  This is where I choose to meet my loved ones.....all of them whole and living in pure joy and wellness......This is where I must continue to meet my loved ones.  That is the meeting ground.  I don't veer off course.  I set boundary lines in "pleasant places", and I always have a lovely pot of tea ready for anyone who wants to join me there.  That is my stance in life. 

I want my life to be welcoming, warm, safe, inviting, magical, enchanted, joyful, embracing of unfolding mysteries and filled with gratitude and thankfulness.  That is the nature of my life.

It's so lovely to go free of suffering, leaving the victim and perpetrator roles behind in one fell swoop.  Just like that, one is free of suffering as soon as one detaches from the storyline that keeps the person attached......It's so very powerful.  I get the power of the process of inquiry.  The process of "inquiry" as Byron Katie so eloquently has shared is the freeing experience.  I really do love it.  Something cannot be questioned and held to at the same time.  The process of inquiry brings such  breathing room into life's experiences.  It is just exquisitely lovely !!!!

I have found myself in such a beautiful place as I have come to really live life in all of it's dynamic glory.  Life no longer has to be boxed into my limited belief systems, serving my beliefs rather than the realm of all possibilities.  The material world gathers matter around our focus and our beliefs.  So, we can see our interior life projected.  The material world gives us a picture of our heart condition.....I like where my heart is right now.

I'm so struck by how easy it is to live without suffering.  Midlife "crisis" website are full to overflowing with suffering and bitterness as people tell their stories of "loss", "betrayal", "abandonment" etc....all from a completely narcissistic position, lambasting the person who had the nerve to leave a relationship to find something more or different in their own lives.  Families demanding all that they are entitled to litter the pages, demanding, demanding, demanding more and more......"You owe me!" they cry.....calling the person a "narcissist" while lambasting the person for having to nerve to live for somebody besides the "abandoned" cry baby.  Talk about blindness!  Wow! 

I see it soooo differently, totally opposite, and I celebrate anyone who has the courage to set the course for their own life....It takes courage.  I admire my ex-husband tremendously for having the courage to live for more than "me"....for walking away from the narcissistic tyranny of our marriage and all that I exacted from him in the name of my "entitlements" as wife.  I thank my ex-husband for releasing me and helping me to get from of the snare that had me wrapped in pettiness and selfishness.  Now, I feel like we can breathe and truly find each other in love....It's such a gift....and all I say is "Thank you"

When a man sets you free in order to commit to another woman, a goddess is born.  This goddess relates to all men as gentlemen.  I love this reality.  I have access to only the best of the masculine.  I'm not stuck in the pornographic.  I relate to gentlemen, and it's a lovely experience.
