Sometimes what we assume can be far from the truth

Greetings!

Memorial Day (Monday, May 27, 2019) is near. 

Yesterday I happened to remember an incident that occurred during Memorial Day weekend a year ago.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~      ~     

It was Memorial Day weekend.  We went to a store to buy grocery.  Corns were on sale for 10 ears for $1.  As expected, many customers crowded around the stand.  Some people simply grabbed 10 or 20 ears of corn and went on with their shopping.  Some examined the ears of corn through the husk to make sure they were good.  Soon there were only husk and a few ears of corn that nobody wanted left on the stand.  People stood around waiting for a worker from the store to refill the stand.

A store worker came.  On the cart she pulled were five boxes of corns, two stacks of two with one box on the top.  She took a glance at the stand as well as the customers.  She did not restock the stand right away.  People waited.  She kept her eyes on the box on the top.  The other boxes had not been opened, but the one on the top was.  This box was only half full.  People waited quietly for the woman to restock the stand.  However, the woman continued to stare at the box.  On her face was a look of anger and disgust.

A supervisor of the store came.  He tried to open one of the boxes.  The woman stopped him.  With her hand pointing at the box on the top, she said in an angry low voice, "Look!  All the ears of corn were without husk.  Some people had actually eaten part of the corn!  It must be the leftover on the stand earlier.  It is disgusting!  How can we allow the customers to do that in our store?"  In a quiet voice, the supervisor calmly said, "You take out the wrong box!  This box is not near where the boxes of corn are stored.  You should not have brought it out at all."  The woman's face softened as if she realized she might be at fault.  The supervisor proceeded to open the boxes.  Meanwhile, he explained, "Our produce comes from different suppliers.  We buy produce from local farmers too.  It is the store policy to have a team overseeing the produce department.  The team makes sure we maintain the high quality and freshness of the produce we sell.  They routinely sample fruit or other produce.  If the quality is not good enough, we may not buy from those suppliers again.  This is the box of corn that the team used for sampling."  Quickly, they worked together to fill the stand with fresh ears of corn.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

The woman worker, seeing the corn in the half full box, automatically assumed it was the customers' doing.  Believing that her assumption was right or was the only possibility, she formed a harsh judgment toward the customers.  As she did, she was filled with disgust.  She thought she had the right to feel disgusted, and failed to realize she was the one that suffered (from this emotion).

I appreciated the way the supervisor handled the situation.  He did not come by the corn stand by accident.  Many employees might not know there were cameras everywhere.  I hope the store did not judge the woman because of this incident.

I found this incident meaningful and worth sharing.  As human beings, we often blamed others for our chaotic emotions such as 'I am so angry because you make me'.  We claimed these strong negative emotions as if, in doing so, we won over those that made us feel this way.  We did not really win over a situation or a relationship by acting this way.  We could choose how to react or look at a situation with discernment.  It helped to take a deep breath, ask ourselves to calm down and look at what happened with a clear mind.

                                           ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~ 
     
In life, we react to what we see or hear.  In our mind, we draw conclusions believing our assumptions / reasoning must be right.  As it is shown in the above case, sometimes what we see, hear or assume can be far from the truth.

Love and Blessings,

P.S.  This post was published in 2019.  Somehow I felt I should publish it again today.

We can be the love and support to one another

Greetings!

In Is our thought a secret known only to ourselves? , I shared a few incidents where thought was received and acknowledged.  Below was another incident that happened not long ago.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~ 

Due to Covid-19, most events have gone online instead of in person.   The last time I went to a gathering was over two months ago.  That day I stayed there for six and a half hours because there were three different events.  Some people came for one or two events.  When the last event began, it was late afternoon.  I saw some new faces as well as those that had chosen to stay for all the events like me.

The last event was facilitated by a young woman.  I had not met her before.  I could feel her purity and truthfulness.  It was no wonder the Ascended Master(s) and other divine beings worked with her or through her to assist humanity at this time.  Of course, what happened in her life was divinely planned.  Her amazing life changing story captivated us.  We listened with joy as if we were part of her experience.  During activations, I could feel the powerful energy of the ascended masters and beings that came through her.

When the gathering was over, some people surrounded her to talk to her.  It was a wonderful session.  I had heard she flew in from another state to host the event, but was not sure if that was the case.  I wanted to thank her before I left because we might not meet again.  At that moment, she happened to look in my direction.  I smiled and softly said 'thank you'.  Unexpectedly, she pointed at me and said, "It was her!  I was so nervous.  It was because of her that I could continue my talk.  Every time I looked in her direction, she smiled.  She kept sending me love and encouragement.  I could feel her love.  Thank you!"  Everybody looked back at where I was.  I said, "You did great!  Thank you for sharing with us your story.  Thank you for the activations."

Indeed, she did great.  She was a little nervous in the beginning, and might not have noticed we were listening to her story with excitement.  I sent her love, and mentally let her know that she was doing great.  I believed some that were present sent her love and support too.  Unlike in Who Smiles? Who Sees? in which I doubted if I had smiled, I was really smiling on that day.  We all laughed when she related the funny incident of how the Ascended Master made his presence known.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

As I was writing this post, I thought of a sister.  She moved on in Oct. 2017.  There was a time she and a brother held monthly meetings in the basement of an office building.  During one meeting, the brother said the sister would facilitate the next meeting alone because he had to attend to something.  The sister said she would talk about how to self-publish a book.

There were about 15 to 20 people that came regularly to the meeting.  In view of the subject of the talk, I thought it was likely some people might not come.  I decided to go to the meeting even though I had not thought of publishing a book.  I loved and respected the sister.  I went there to show my support.  

As expected, only a few came to the meeting.  They wanted to learn more as how to self-publish a book.  One young woman wanted to publish picture books for children.  She showed us some of her drawings.  She was quite gifted in drawing.  When it was my turn, I said I did not think I could / would publish a book.  The sister looked into my eyes.  She said, "Oh!  You are here to show your love and support."  This sister was very intuitive.  With her giving nature, she was loved by many.  (Please view The master healer had stepped out of the physical world )

In the last couple of months, I attended online events with the same intention of love and support.  Oftentimes, I felt a surge of energy when I joined an online meeting.  Sometimes powerful energy poured from above into my crown chakra and vibrated through my entire being just as I sat among people in person.

The powerful love is in you and in me.  We can send love and receive love.  We can all be the love and support to one another.

Many blessings,

The cashier was awestruck in seeing 1111

Greetings!

After ringing up the few fruit and vegetables I bought, the cashier seemed to be awestruck.  Her mouth opened wide, and she put her right hand over her heart.  I looked at the total on the cash register screen.  It was $11.11, the angel number!  In my heart, I immediately acknowledged and thanked for the loving presence of the angels ***.  The cashier pointed at the $11.11, and asked if I knew how special the number was.  I said, "Yes, I know."  She was a woman from the Middle East.  The stores had many displays / pictures of Christianity.  She tried to convey to me about 1111 in the English that she knew.  She said it was a blessing to see 1111.  She pointed at my heart and said that only those that had something special in their hearts could experience 1111.  I gently pointed at her heart and then mine saying 'the blessing is for both of us'.  She let out a bright smile.  

*** Earlier, I was in a dental office having the first part of deep cleaning.  I had learned from the Internet that deep cleaning could be a painful experience.  Therefore, I had invited archangels and angels to be with me.

Many of us might feel joy seeing numbers such as 1111 (or 111), 333 (ascended masters) and 444 (power of God's love).  Others might not feel anything toward these numbers.  I often expressed my surprise and joy whenever a car suddenly drove past us with one of these magical number series.  On the other hand, my husband did not have any reaction in seeing them.  It was all in divine order.  There was no right or wrong in however one's reaction might be.

One day in the challenging years, I went to a store to buy something that the restaurant needed.  I saw that lobster was on sale.  It was my husband's birthday.  Despite that money was tight, I decided to buy two lobsters to celebrate his birthday.  At the cash register, I was nicely surprised that the total was $33.33.  Before I walked out of the store, it suddenly came to me to buy a $2 scratch off lottery ticket.  Later at the restaurant, I was overjoyed to find out that the ticket was a $50 winner.  I felt deeply grateful, and realized 'when I looked past the lack, thou shalt provide'.

For many days, I watched news on the 2020 election as others did.  Meanwhile, I had visited the dental office a few times in recent weeks.  As mentioned in Who Smiles? Who Sees? , I had many problems with my teeth during the restaurant years.  I now had insurance that covered some of the basis cost.  Dental care was still too expensive for me.  However, I saw hope in fixing my teeth.

The election is finally over.  We look forward to a new beginning.      

Love and Peace,

My thought and the outcome

Greetings!

Recently, I happened to pick up a print-out of an incident among my notebooks.  The incident took place on August 31, 2011.  I wrote down what happened after I was home that night.  I had forgotten the details.  As I read it, I felt this experience was worth sharing.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

I went to a forum.  The auditorium was completely filled.  I saw some of my friends from the small church.  I also saw a friend from the Unity church that I went to once in a while.  We were excited to be there.  The presenter was very loved and highly respected.  She had come with her daughter.  I had heard about the presenter, but it was the first time I saw her.  She laughed freely as she shared with us the interesting stories of her life.  Every now and then, she played the piano.  Her music brought forth her joy.  Though many of us had heard or read about her life story, we felt blessed to be in her presence that night.  Her enthusiasm of life was contagious that seemed very much to be part of our nature.  

Near the end of the gathering, there was a drawing for prizes.  The presenter had donated a few of her books, her music CD, and her husband's book as prizes.  A holistic store had also donated two gift certificates.  Altogether, there might be about 12 prizes.  (Not sure about the actual number of prizes)  We had put our names on small pieces of paper and placed them in a basket.  The host of the event (another wonderful soul) randomly asked a woman in the audience to come up the stage to pick names from the basket.  

Many of my friends voiced how much they wish they would win the books or CD.  I would love to read the presenter or her husband's books too.  If the presenter had brought with her some of their books for sale, I would have bought one.  Seeing the filled auditorium, I thought, "Those who win a prize deserve the prize, and I am happy for them."  

The woman picked a paper from the basket, and handed it to the presenter.  The presenter announced the name, and that person went up the stage to receive the prize.  As this went on, I said in my heart to every person that won a prize 'I am happy for you'.  I let go of wanting to win anything.  After the books and CD, someone received the holistic store's first gift certificate.  Before they drew a winner for the second gift certificate, I suddenly thought, "I have not visited the store since I held my workshop there.  I know it has moved to a new location.  If it is in the divine plan that I should visit the store again in the new location, then I will win this gift certificate."  Just then, I heard the presenter called my name!  

(Re the store and my first workshop, please view A beautiful pink fish on the back of a white dove )

When the gathering was over, I talked to my friends.  Before I left, I thought I should go to thank the presenter.  It was truly an honor to meet her.  There was a line of people that wanted to talk to her.  I waited.  After a while, the woman in front of me did not want to wait any longer.  She left.  I stayed because I wanted to hug the presenter.  When I finally stood in front of the presenter, she looked into my eyes for a while as I looked into hers.  Then we hugged.  She said, "Do I pronounce your name right, (she said my name including my married name)?  She just saw my name earlier on a piece of paper, and we had not met before this night.  Many people found it hard to say or remember my name.  There she was saying my name right in every way.  At 91, her mind / memory was truly incredible.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

I used 'my thought and the outcome' as the title of this post.  It was interesting how my thought correlated with the outcome. 

I found out online that the presenter had moved on in 2019 at the age of 99.  I could not visualize, and had a hard time of recalling faces of people that I met.  However, I could easily remember her face, her laughs and her joyful expression of the love of life.

To the wonderful sister and teacher, thank you!

Love,

Lens flare or not, pictures of the sun / nature bring me joy 😊

Greetings!

Since September 3, I had been taking pictures of the sun in the sky whenever I went for a walk in the school fields.  (Re Suddenly, I wanted to capture the magnificence of the Sun )

I had taken pictures of the sky (e.g. rainbows, sun, moon, clouds), trees, flowers, insects, geese, ducks and animals as I walked.  Seeing the beauty and magic of creation brought me lots of joy.  After taking the amazing pictures of Sept. 3, I looked through my old photos of the sun in the sky.  I did not see any image of objects near the sun.  

I showed the recent pictures of the sun to my son.  He said the images were probably reflections of the light of the sun.  I went online to search for pictures of the sun.  There were many beautiful pictures of the sun.  I learned about Sundogs / halo around the sun.  As for the objects near the sun, the experts in photography and some scientists had the same view as my son.  They said those images were merely the results of lens flare.

Well, my enthusiasm of seeing the beauty and wonders of nature remained.  I continued to take pictures with my android as I walked in the school fields.  Later, I decided to bring my pocket size Fuji JX420 camera too.  I wondered if the lens flare effect would also be clearly visible on the pictures taken by the small Fuji camera.

I usually examined the pictures closely after I was home.  Those images were captured by the Fuji camera too.  Lens flare or not, looking at the pictures brought me joy 😊.  

I usually took 3 to 5 pictures at a time, i.e. within 20 to 30 seconds.  Sometimes a picture was totally clear without any lens flare image.  One day, the sky was not clear.  I took a few pictures.  It seemed those objects near the sun were not there.  When I was home, my son and his friend were there talking about bodybuilding.  I looked at my pictures.  I saw a barely visible image on the far horizon.  Excitedly, I assumed the greenish object 'was coming'.  My son said they were going to the playground by the school to exercise.  I asked him to use his android to take a picture of the sun because I wanted to see if his android would capture the same image around the sun.  After they left, it suddenly came to me that my son would not do as I said; I should just go and take some pictures by myself.  I grabbed my phone.  I was going to walk over to the school field.  However, as soon as I got out of the door of the apartment building, I 'got' that I should take some pictures right there.  That day I took some beautiful pictures of the sun with big, clear images of the greenish blue object (or you may call them lens flare images).  I used to feel a little uncomfortable taking pictures of the sky / sun while other people were around.  I had since let go of that feeling, and took pictures when I wanted to.

Since September 3, I had taken many wonderful pictures of the sky.  In some pictures, I saw an image that looked like a spaceship behind the luminous greenish blue object.  According to the experts, they called them 'ghost' lens flare images.  In two of my pictures, I captured a globe on luminous cloud appeared near the edge of the picture.  The image of the globe was clear.  A white band was in the center, purple bands with some green energy were seen next to the white band and then blue bands.  It might just be a big balloon or it could also be something else.  I had seen many pictures of sundog online, but Oct. 14 was the first time I captured the sun with a halo.  

On August 1, I saw a golden yellow caterpillar in the mud below a tree along the road.  (Re A Golden Yellow Caterpillar )  On August 13, I saw a hawk (about 18" to 20" tall) in the school playground.  I was gladly surprised that the hawk allowed me to walk near to take some pictures.  Later, it flew up a tall tree.  A man who was running on the track saw what happened.  He raised his thumb and said loudly, "Congratulation!  They (the hawks) seldom let people stand that close to take pictures!"  On Sept. 12, I saw another big, golden caterpillar on the black running track.  There were other people walking on the track.  Therefore, I stood by the caterpillar to make sure it got onto the grass safely with the help of a leave.  On Oct. 6, I saw a green praying mantis in the middle of the track.  I took a few pictures and made sure it got to the grass before I walked away.  

I did not know much about insects particularly their names in English.  Luckily, both of my sons participated in Science Olympia in high school.  They were quite knowledgeable of insects.  For instance, I saw a beautiful greenish insect in August 2019.  My son told me it was a cicada.  In later days, I saw a few more.  I had not seen any cicada in August 2020.  In Oct. 2019, I took some pictures of katydid (grasshopper).  October 2020 was almost over, but I had not seen any katydid.  In where I lived, it seemed there were less insects flying around this year than it was in 2019.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

Recently, we have many rainy and cloudy days.  With thick clouds, I still capture the green and purple (lens flare) images / objects in most of the pictures.  Sunny days, rainy days or cloudy days are part of nature.  I feel peace walking under the cloudy sky.  (Re my posts Writing Is Healing and On a cloudy, gloomy morning, I go looking for the sun )

Love and Peace,

In Faith and Trust, I AM

Greetings!

In Suddenly, I wanted to capture the magnificence of the Sun, I wrote that I would share an experience that happened on Sep. 5 to show another aspect of living by being.  At the time (i.e. Sep. 7, the date I published the post), I remembered the experience clearly.  Some days later, I logged in my blog again.  I realized I had forgotten what happened on Sep. 5, and had not written it down in my notebook.  (I did not write my journal daily.)  Therefore, I could not share with you the experience as I had promised. 

                                        ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~  

A few years after I moved back to this state, a friend from the other state called me.  She was a participant in my healing workshop.  She said she had learned Reiki before coming to the workshop.  She said taking part in the workshop had made a difference in her life.  She realized that the energy she channeled through was more powerful than before, and the words I said during the workshop had helped her to see life in a new light.  As we talked, she said she recently got together with some friends.  They began to talk about 'living by being'.  They tried to think of someone that lived by being, and they all thought of me.  I was surprised for I was certainly not someone that lived by being.  Then, I realized why they regarded me that way.  

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

They saw me as someone that lived simply by being because of the incidents that happened at church.  For examples -  

During quarterly healing services at church, sometimes powerful energy moved me to give healing before the facilitating pastor told us (the healers) to.  Each healer was supposed to work on the person that sat in the chair before him or her.  However, I was all over the place.  One of my hand might be sending energy to one person, while the other hand worked on another.  I had also been moved to work on people that had not come forward to receive healing.  While some people thought I did not know the proper protocol of healing, the human I was embarrassed because I did remember.  

One Sunday while the senior pastor was delivering his speech, powerful healing energy lifted me off my chair to work on five people in the congregation.  The human I understood it was disruptive and totally unacceptable.  Meanwhile, there was this inner self that was undisturbed and at peace.  After working on the woman on the same pew, I was moved to walk to the pews behind me to work on others.  In between that time, the usher as well as a pastor quietly asked me to stop.  Finally, I was led out of the chapel even though I perceived that the healing on the fifth person had not been completed.  (Re Part 1 - The Unexpected Incident )  It turned out there was a big reason for this to happen.  If you are interested, please read  Part 2 - The Gathering , Part 3 - The Big Dollar Bills and Part 4 - Afterthought of the Whole Experience .

In my post My higher self and the human I in my healing experiences , I had related some incidents where I acted spontaneously.  Below was one of those incidents.

One Sunday after service, quite a few people stayed behind for the healing circle.  As usual, I asked who wanted to give healing and who wanted to receive healing.  Since more people wanted to practice healing than to receive, I decided to let someone work on me.  I remained sitting where I was, and a healer began to work on me.  Meanwhile, others paired up to give and receive healing.  Suddenly, I rose from my chair to work on a woman that another healer was working on!  As I moved to work on the woman, the whole setting of pairing up also changed.  For instance, E worked on D instead of B, and C who set to receive ended up standing and working on someone.

I was not good in remembering faces and names.  When the healing was over, the woman whom I was pushed to work on said, "I could feel powerful energy working on me as soon as you walk to me.  Immediately, you work on my stomach.  My stomach is not well in recent days.  You probably did not remember me.  A couple of weeks ago, I stayed behind for healing for the first time.  I was suffering from all the terrible symptoms of menopause.  You worked on me that day.  I never told you why I needed healing.  All the symptoms of menopause had disappeared after you worked on me.  Thank you."

Others also shared how they felt during the exchange of energy.  We were joyful and grateful for our experiences.  It was a wonderful healing circle.  It seemed the divine had a better plan of pairing us up than we set out to be. 

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

Some of my friends that were into spirituality told me they rarely watched TV.  They were surprised to hear that I enjoyed watching a few TV dramas as well as watching football and basketball games every now and then.  I seldom meditated for my mind was too busy (except when I formed the circle of love).  When I got off my chair to work on 5 people, I had no idea why it happened.  Knowing how unacceptable it was to do that in the middle of a Sunday service, the human I felt unsettled.  Therefore, I did not see myself as someone that lived by being.

To me, those that lived simply by being were either awakened or were fully into spirituality.  They were long time meditators.  They were very attuned to the divine.  They knew intuitively what was before them such as what to do or why they did what they did.  They went by life with peace and ease.  If they were in similar situations as mentioned above, they would not feel unsettled or embarrassed as I did. 

Well, that was my assumption until one night a brother shared with us a personal experience.  The brother was a professor, a spiritual teacher and a wonderful healer.  As a boy, he knew he had the ability to heal others.  He was a long time meditator.  He had learned how to meditate at an early age from a known master.  One morning, he kept getting the inner prompting to ask a man that he did not know well to go out for breakfast.  He could not understand why he got such a prompting.  He wondered what to say to the man or if they had a common interest to carry on a conversation.  For quite a while, he resisted making the call.  Finally, he surrendered to his inner voice and called the man.  They talked from morning to night.  At the end of the day, the brother still did not understand why he was prompted to call this man. However, he was glad they had a good conversation.  Many months later, the brother came across the man again in a gathering.  After the gathering, the man pulled the brother aside.  He thanked the brother for saving him and his wife's life.  That morning the man and his wife had planned to end their lives at night.  He was very surprised to receive the brother's call asking him out for breakfast.  The brother's talk about life opened his mind to see life in a new perspective.  With a renewed vigor of life, he talked to his wife.  Both of them chose to live.  He told the brother that they had been doing well.  (Re my post A prompting from within, and a confirmation from the divine )

After the brother finished talking, all of us sat in silence bathing in the Grace and Love of the Divine.  That night I also realized I was not alone in my doubts / inner struggle in following divine guidance.  And, my assumption that others intuitively knew why they did what they did was off.  

At the end of that day, the brother did not see any purpose / reason for his inner prompting to have breakfast with his friend.  He was totally at peace.  In his words, he was glad they had a good conversation.  After they parted ways, the brother put the whole thing behind him, and moved on with his busy work schedule.  His way of being exemplified that of living by being.  As my guides said "The real beauty of life is what you do not know".

What is living by being?

In Faith and Trust, I AM.

An affirmation that came to me a while back.

Q of D

Suddenly, I wanted to capture the magnificence of the Sun

Greetings!

In the morning of September 3, I went for a walk in the school field.  The temperature was perfect (about 63 degrees).  Despite of some clouds, the sun was shining brilliantly.  Seeing the beautiful sun, my heart was filled with joy.  

I saw a gaggle of geese all over the grass.  There were over 60 of them, the most I had seen this summer.  This day I had no intention of taking pictures of the geese for I had already taken some the other day.  For quite a while, I stood still watching the geese because I did not want to disturb them.

Before I began to walk again, I suddenly wanted to take a picture of the sun.  Though there were some clouds near the sun, I felt the magnificence of the sun.  I wanted to capture it on camera.  I took the phone out of my pocket.  In a hurry, I swiped the screen to turn on the camera.  (I did not key in my pin.)  Swiftly, I turned to face the sun with the phone over my eyes so as to protect my eyes.  I pressed the white dot to take a picture.  The screen remained dark as if no picture had been taken.  I pressed the white dot a few more times.  All the while, the screen of my phone was completely dark except the white dot of taking pictures.  Afterward, I tried to see if I had successfully taken any picture.  The screen of my phone continued to be dark.  It might be I had not turned on the outdoor mode.  I thought I would find out if I had taken some pictures or not at home.

When I was home, I turned on my phone.  I was astonished!  Within less than a minute, I had taken four pictures.  In a sequence, these four pictures captured something unusual that went on beyond the capability of my physical eyes!

The first picture showed a luminous green or turquoise round object in the sky way below the sun.  Meanwhile, some purple energy in a sloping / slanting position above the grass was seen on the picture just a few feet from where I stood.  If not captured on camera, I did not know the purple energy (a being?) was right there.

The next picture showed the luminous turquoise object continued to go up in the sky, and the purple energy was at a distance behind.

In the third picture, the luminous object and the purple energy were high in the sky.  In the background were the clouds by the sun.  The mass of the purple energy was now bigger than the turquoise round object.  (When zoomed in, the luminous object was not really round.)  

In the last picture, the luminous object and the purple energy had flown past the clouds and appeared at the level of the sun.  In this picture, the luminous object was in a big, oval field of green / turquoise of light.  The beautiful mass of purple energy continued to follow (or pursue) in a near distance.

I wish I could show you the pictures, but I did not know how to download them.  I did not use Google Photo.  Again and again, I found myself way behind in the world of technology.

According to the details on my phone, I had taken the pictures in less than one minute.  In other words, the luminous object and the purple energy rose up in an incredible speed.  The purple energy was on the grass near me, yet my physical eyes had not detected it.  Of course, I did not see anything unusual in the sky since my attention was on the geese.  

It was amazing how I suddenly wanted to capture the magnificence of the sun.  I was in such a hurry that I did not understand why.  If there was any hesitation on my part, I would have missed capturing the purple energy and the luminous turquoise object on camera.  This experience brought me back to 'living by being'.  In my last post, I had promised to write on what I learned about 'living by being'.  (Re He asked, "We all have expectations. How can I simply live by being?" )  In a way, living by being is to follow our inner guidance even though we might not understand why.  An experience that happened on Sept. 5 also showed me another aspect of living by being which I would share with you in my next post.

May peace be with you always.

Q of D

He asked, "We all have expectations. How can I simply live by being?"

Greetings!

In a spiritual gathering, a young man said he had been trying to help a friend, but the outcome was disappointing.  He felt discouraged and frustrated.  He asked the facilitator / teacher, "We all have expectations.  How can I simply live by being?"

Indeed, most of us if not all of us had expectations.  With expectations, we felt happy when things unfolded as we had hoped, but, we were also bound to experience disappointment sometimes.  It was the nature of life that not everything could be foreseen or happened as we had wished (or planned). 

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

Out of good intention, the young man wanted to help his friend.  

When the young man asked 'how can I simply live by being', I supposed he wanted to know how he could accept what 'is' (i.e. the outcome appeared to be at the time) without feeling discouraged and frustrated.  Or, he might have assumed that unwholesome feelings did not arise in those that could simply live by being.    

   

Many spiritual teachers had talked about living in the 'now', and had offered helpful advice in handling life situations.  People often felt inspired and got a renewed sense of hope for a joyful life afterward.  When dilemma showed up again, some found themselves going through similar emotions such as frustration, anger, and pain.  We could attend many lectures or read lots of books about life, but true transformation must come from within.  If we consistently applied / practiced / remembered that inspired us, we would gradually see a change in ourselves.  In time, we might be able to look at life situations and others with a new perspective.  (In my post Love! Love! Love!, my spirit guide's timely intervention stopped me from reacting with anger.  I did not change overnight.  In life, we did fall into the same old patterns again and again.  It helped to pay attention to our actions and reactions in situations where problems continued to exist.)

The young man's question reminded me of what the teacher of healing taught us during her workshop.  She told us to hold the pure intention of service, let go of our ego, and let the Divine guide us during healing sessions; we should not be concerned with the outcome and have faith that the Divine knew what was the best for the recipient.  I found truth in her guidance, and in fact, her words helped me in life situations (or relationships) too.  Occasionally, life dramas still got to me especially in total unexpected circumstances.  Luckily, I now knew to go through them with love and patience for myself as well as for others that were involved.  

The young man, a sincere seeker, would eventually know All Is Well.  He had tried his best to help his friend and that was what mattered the most.  He might have assumed those spiritual teachers that gave lectures or workshops lived in peace and were void of those emotions.  It might not necessary be true.  Many spiritual teachers had shared their stories.  They had gone through life as we had.  As my spirit guide said, "It is alright to react with a certain mood such as happy, surprise or even upset.  Face it, this is what life is all about.  But then, we discern ourselves from the feeling and observe it with tranquility."  (Re You don't necessary have to like or dislike someone )

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~  

The young man might have assumed that by accepting what 'is', one might not have to deal with negative emotions.  Well, long time ago I had also made an assumption.  I thought only the awakened ones could simply live by being.  Since they were awakened, they intuitively knew why this or that happened as well as what would be / could be.  Therefore, they were at peace with whatever that happened.  I knew now my assumption was wrong too.

What does it mean to simply live by being?  

As most of you, I am a simple person living a physical life.  Indeed, the real beauty of life is what I do not know .  I shall continue to share with you what I learned about living by being.  (Next post In Faith and Trust, I AM )

Incredible! A golden yellow caterpillar on the mud below a tree!

Greetings!

Last night I published Caterpillars and A White BMW .  While I was writing that post, I thought the title could be 'She said she drove a white BMW'.  However, after I finished writing, I decided to include caterpillars in the title.

This morning I went for a walk.  

I used to walk a few rounds on the school field next to the apartments, and then I went to visit the big trees along the main road.  As I walked, I acknowledged the trees and nature for sharing with us their love, peace, beauty and healing energies.  I sent love to Mother Earth.  I paid attention to the birds, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers and etc. that happened to come across my path.  I had taken some beautiful pictures of insects (or pictures of beautiful insects) over the years.

I saw the school parking lot was filled with cars.  There were a lot of people playing in the school fields.  I decided to skip the school field, and went to walk along the main road instead.  Unexpectedly, I saw a big, golden yellow caterpillar on the mud below a tree!  I had been talking walks in the morning along the trees for years, yet this was the first time I saw a caterpillar.  How incredible it was that I saw this beautiful caterpillar after I published my post Caterpillars and A White BMW  !

As I had spoken at church years ago, our experiences with the Loving Divine IS personal.  No matter how incredible we felt about a certain experience, others might not feel that way at all.  Some might say it happened by chance.  Others might say what happened was nothing special or they might secretly think we saw too much into nothing.  There was nothing wrong with whatever others might think of our experience.  Each one of us is going through our own unique journey on earth.  We are from the same Source or of the same nature.  We should have faith in the Divine, and trust that his / her Creator within is forever guiding.  We do not necessary have to convince / argue with others of what we believe in.  Of course, at the right time, we may share some of our experiences or what we have learned.  On the journey of life, we are all students, teachers, and inspiration unto one another.  So it is.

Many blessings,

Caterpillars and A White BMW

Greetings!

Two days after seeing four BMW s, we went shopping again.  On our way to a store, I did not think about BMW cars at all.  To me, what happened that day was simply a coincidence or one of those strange days.

We arrived at the store.  My husband pulled into a parking space.  I got out of the car.  Immediately, I noticed a BMW was parked next to the car opposite to ours!  I thought, "What!  Are there that many people that drive BMW s?"  I did not say anything to my husband for he would not see it as a coincidence.  As we walked toward the entrance of the store, I could not help but looked at some of the cars that I walked past.  I did not see anymore BMW.

We finished shopping.  Before we got into our car, I saw a BMW moved into a parking space across (not opposite) from where we parked!  If we came out of the store a minute or two early, we could have left the parking lot before that BMW arrived.  

In the weeks (or months?) that followed, I would see BMW s in such a way that really drew my attention.  The following incident is another example.

We stopped at a red light.  Our car was the third car behind the red light.  While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the car in front of us (i.e. the second car behind the red light) suddenly moved over to the next lane / right lane.  Right away, I saw the first car was a BMW.  I let out a joyful laugh.  I said to my husband, "The second car moved to the other lane so that I can see the first car is a BMW!"  My husband said, "No, that car moves to the right lane because it is about to make a right turn."  When the light turned green, the BMW stayed in front of us for only a short while.  Soon it turned left to get into a shop on the other side of the road.  Meanwhile, the second car remained on the right lane for some more miles and did not turn right as my husband had assumed.  When we made a left turn into a shopping center, the car was still in the right lane.

Did I see BMW s all the time?  No.  Most of the days I did not see any BMW.  I also did not hold the intention of seeing a BMW.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

In early July, I got an email from the assistant of the lecturer.  A woman who attended the 8-week lecture series wanted to get in contact with me.  After hearing what the lecturer said of me, the woman wanted me to give her a healing session.  (Re my post Sometimes I never know how a day is going to be )

After a few email exchange, we decided to meet in a park, a park that both of us had not been to.  I arrived early.  I parked my car in the middle of the parking lot.  I saw two cars at the farther end of the parking lot, and no one seemed to be inside.  My phone rang.  She said she had arrived and asked where I parked.  To put a long story short, I almost did not believe my ears when she said, "I drive a white BMW."

She had brought two chairs for us to sit in the center of some trees.  We wore masks and sat some feet apart as per the governor's order.  Soon more and more people came to play in the park.

While we were talking, she saw a big caterpillar fell on my shirt.  She picked up a leaf and gently used it to remove the caterpillar from my shirt.  Later, a couple of caterpillars climbed onto my pants and another one (or two) fell on my shirt.  Other than giving her a healing session, we talked for almost two hours.  When we were about to leave, I saw a small caterpillar fell on her.  She was happy because caterpillar symbolized transformation.  

During the June online lecture, I wrote I did not like attention.  She took it as I was shy.  She said she had helped a friend to get rid of her shyness.  She volunteered to help me too.  Personally, I did not regard myself as shy, but many of my American friends thought that I was.  I thanked her for wanting to help me because I always appreciated other's good intention.

Before we parted ways, both of us hoped to meet again when the pandemic was over.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

The weather has been nice.  Most mornings I go out for a walk.  I hope you are enjoying the summer too.

What have BMW cars got to do with me! ! ! ! !

Greetings,

I did not know much about cars such as car models or makes.  Of course, when I saw a Jeep, I know it was a Chrysler; it was the same with some of the GM / Ford cars and trucks.

One day a couple of years ago, we were on our way to an Oriental store.  My husband suddenly said, "The car in front of us is a Cadillac."  I asked, "How do you know?"  He said, "Don't you see the logo at the back (of the car)?"  Since that day, my husband had pointed out to me a few other logos such as Buick, Toyota and Lexus.  There were car logos that we did not know.  I simply let it go.  I did not feel the need to look them up online. 

 

                                           ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

       

While I was living in another state, I worked for a nice, young couple.  One day, the wife talked to me about her last trip back to China.  She said some of her old college classmates came to see her.  They wore brand name / expensive clothing, handbags, shoes and jewelries.  They 'wondered' aloud why she did not dress as they did.  My boss told me it was not about money; she was just not into fancy clothes or brand name handbags.  However, her classmates did not seem to understand.  I said we should not be concerned with people's materialistic comments for there would always be people that judged others based on the clothes they wore or the cars they drove.  My boss said it was true.  Her husband loved cars and knew a lot about cars.  His favorite car was a BMW.  She observed people treated them differently whenever they went anywhere in the BMW.  That day we talked for quite a while about life and how easily we judged one another.  

I usually parked my car in the small parking lot to the side of the business.  Most of the time, my bosses parked their vans right outside of the business.  The unobservant I had not paid attention to the colors or the brand of the vans they drove.  Of course, I did not know the BMW she talked about.   

One day after work, I could not start my old car.  So I went back inside to ask for help.  The couple asked me not to worry.  Later, the husband came to have a look at my car.  He took a tool box out of a car that parked a space or two next to my car.  That was when I noticed the BMW logo.  He found out what was wrong with my car, and made the necessary adjustment.  I was able to drive home without any problem.  The young couple had treated me with kindness and respect.  I was (am) grateful.  

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

Some weeks ago, we drove to a grocery store about 3 miles away (i.e. 7 to 8 minutes away).  As soon as we got on the main road, I saw a BMW in front of us.  I said, "Oh, that is a BMW!"  This time it was my husband's turn of not having a clue of what I meant.  He asked, "What is a BMW?"  I said, "The car in front of us is a BMW.  Do you see the letters B M W in the logo?"  He said, "How do you learn about it?"  I said, "The young couple that I worked for in another state had a BMW."  The BMW made a right turn while we continued to drive forward.  I did not think much of seeing a BMW.

We stopped at a red light.  In a short distance ahead, I saw a car came out of a side street.  The traffic light turned green.  We soon caught up with the car that came out of a side road.  It was another BMW!  I said, "This BMW is different from the first one.  It is kind of strange to see two BMW s within a couple of minutes!"  

On our way back to our apartment, I saw a car with an interesting license plate.  I exclaimed, "Oh, the license plate is XXX!**" Cars with license plates such as 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 777, and etc. always got my attention.  Adding to my amazement, I realized it was a BMW!  I did not realize it was a BMW because the license plate caught my attention first, and it was different from the other two.

While I was still in awe of what happened, out of nowhere, a van in the next lane 'flew' past us and cut into our lane.  My husband said, "What is the driver doing?  I am driving at 45 mph.  He must be driving way past the speed limit!"  (The speed limit on the road was 40 mph.)  I said, "He probably want to outrun the traffic light.  Uh, he did not make it!  He had to stop before the traffic light for it had turned red."  Soon we were right behind the van that flew past us.  It was a big BMW van with an out of state license plate!  I smiled and said, "Oh, the van rushes past us so that I can see that it is a BMW!"  I told my husband the driver would drive at normal speed after the light turned green.  From my husband's expression, I knew he did not really believe me.  The driver did drive at or below speed limit in the front before we made a turn into our apartment complex.  

Most of the families in the city / county we lived in were the average working class.  However, no matter where we lived, there must be some families that could afford expensive cars.  I did not know much about cars.  I had no idea about the actual prices of Cadillac, Buick or BMW.  At home, I thought it might not be that special to see four BMW s.  People in the neighborhood must be driving BMW s, but I had not paid attention.  However, it was certainly strange how everything that had unfolded during our short drive back and forth from a store!

** As I looked through my journal, I realized I had not taken the time to write down what happened that day.  Therefore, no record of the number on the license plate.  It might be I could not understand why I saw four BMW s that day.  I certainly found how everything that unfolded amazing, but "What have BMW cars got to do with me!"

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~ 

 

I am a simple person.  I enjoy the simple joy of life, and appreciate the beauty of nature.  Yes, I see beautiful people quite often.  Their smiles and kindness make my day.  When it comes to cars, I know very little.  I have no interest in luxurious cars.  Therefore, I cannot see any possible significance of seeing the four BMW s.  However, since that day, I continue to see BMW s in a way that really draws my attention.  I cannot help but ask -

                                  What have BMW s got to do with me?

In love, light and truth, I share with you my story.

Many blessings,

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?

Greetings!

Have you ever thought what you heard (or thought you had heard) might not be true?

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

It was late afternoon.  A man sat on the couch.  His face looked gloomy.  From his expression, his wife knew he was upset about something.  However, she also understood he would not open up or admit something was bothering him except he was ready to do so.  After all, they had been married for a long time.

The television was on.

She said, "(the name of their son) will be home soon."

Immediately, he grumbled, "Son only respects you.  He does not respect me!"

In disbelief of what she heard, she asked, "Why do you say that?"

He said, "Every time he comes home from work, he only says 'Mama, I am home!'.  He never says 'Papa'.  He walks past me as if I do not exist!  In his heart, he only loves and respects you."

With her eyes opened wide, she said, "No!  You are wrong!  He always says 'Papa, Mama, I am home!"

He said, "No, all these years he only says 'Mama, I am home'.  I hear it clearly!"

For a while, his wife looked at him.  Then she said, "Well, our son will be home soon.  Would you please listen carefully if he says 'Papa' before 'Mama'?"

After a pause, she added, "You know, when our son was a baby, he learned to say 'Papa' first before he said 'Mama'.  Do you know why?  It was because I always talked to him about you such as 'Papa loves you' while you were at work.  Every night, he excitedly waited for you to come home because I said 'Papa will be home soon'.  Did you remember he always insisted on sharing his soup or food with you after you came home?"

The man was quiet for a while.  Afterward, he said, "When sons* were young, many times they saw me and did not say 'good morning, Papa'.  They kept on playing with their toys or games.  As grown ups, they seldom talk to me.  They do not love or respect me."  (*The younger son was married and lived with his family.)

Before the wife could say anything, their son opened the door and walked in.

He said, "Papa, Mama, I am home."

The man was surprised that his son had indeed said 'Papa' before 'Mama'. 

The wife smiled.  She said to her son, "How is your day?"

He said, "Busy."  He went into his room to change his clothes.  Afterward, he left for the gym.

The wife continued with their talk.  She said, "Yes, I remembered you complained about sons' manner when they were young.  I had taught them manners.  I told them to say 'good morning' to you and other people, e.g. their teachers and the school bus drivers.  You thought they should greet you first because you were the father.  To you, that meant respect.  But, children are children.  They loved playing with their toys and games.  Many times I said 'good morning' to them first, and they in turn said 'good morning' to me.  To me, it really doesn't matter who say 'good morning' first."

The husband interjected, "Did you remember XXXX **?  (**The owner of a business where he had worked for a few months.)  I said 'good morning' to him on the first day I worked there.  He walked by as if he did not hear me.  On the second day, I greeted him again.  Since he did not respond, I never said 'good morning' to him again during the few months I worked there.  When he learned I had found another job, he begged me to stay and promised to give me a raise.  Of course, I would not work for someone who showed me no respect."

The wife was silent for a while.  In the years that he worked, she had gone through many of his experiences with him.  He was only happy when his employers showed him much respect.  He worked hard, but at times he was too critical of some that worked with him.  Many times she had to help him to look at life situations from another perspective.  (Indeed, one's experiences are not just one's experiences.  His experiences affected those around him too.)  The wife decided not to talk about his past working experiences.    

She said, "So all these years you thought Son did not acknowledge you when he came home from work!  Why didn't you speak up?  Anyway, I am glad you finally get to hear what Son truly says when he comes home.  Sometimes what we thought we heard might not be accurate.  Son does love you."

His face softened.  The gloominess on his face was gone.  

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

In life, many times we suffer mentally or emotionally because of misunderstanding and conflicts.  Sometimes we do not realize our suffering is self-inflicted as in 'What do you hear'.

Sometimes I never know how a day is going to be

Greetings!

In my post Covid-19 and Natalie Glasson''s channeled messages , I mentioned I signed up for an 8-week lecture series.  We had the first lecture on March 7 in a center.  After the governor posted the guidelines for covid-19, the remaining lectures were scheduled as online events.  (I signed up for the whole series, but some people chose to attend the lectures they were interested in.)  Last Sunday was the last lecture.

The lecturer was the young man I wrote about in What Is Love?  His talks on the 14-chakra system was very interesting.  I appreciated and respected his way of teaching.  He was always peaceful and patient.  He used his psychic and clairvoyant gifts appropriately in answering questions so as to bring about healing.  He shared what he knew, and was open to other people's views.  When we asked something he did not know, he was honest about it.  He had spent thousands of hours in seeking the knowledge he now shared.  His dedication was admirable and respectable.

Each lecture was on a different subject about chakras or archetypal energies / patterns.  It lasted for an hour and a half.  After sharing his knowledge and answering questions, he usually offered to give short reading on the subject matter.  Many people volunteered or wanted to be read.  With limited time left, he usually only read 3 or 4 people.  As with sitting among people, I enjoyed observing or listening.  I had not volunteered to be read ***.

*** One time he asked all of us to choose a number between one to a million.  He said he had decided on a number.  He would read the one(s) who chose a number that matched his or a number that was closest to his number.  I decided to participate because the idea of picking a number was fun.  I believed I typed in 849.  It turned out the number he chose was 1.  There was no match.  On the computer screen were numbers with six digits.  One person happened to have a dot before a series of numbers.  When asked to clarify, that person said the dot was a decimal.  Therefore, it was the number that was closest to 1.  If I recalled correctly, this person ended up being the only one that the lecturer read that day.  (Don't you see how interesting life is!)  By the way, this online lecture was not a video chat kind of event.  Other than the names, the attendees did not know how each other looked like.  We typed in our questions and comments using the computer.  The lecturer was able to read us or see our energies using his psychic and clairvoyant gifts.

June 13 was the day for the second last lecture.  I woke up late and almost forgot about the lecture.  I was probably the last one to log into the event.

As with other times, some participated actively by asking questions.  I listened and had not thought of asking any question.  About three quarters into the lecture, I suddenly typed in a question about energy.  With my question, the lecturer began to talk about my energies and what he saw.  He drew a picture showing healing energies constantly flowed out of an upper chakra like the frequencies of a radio.(There was more to what he said, but this was how I chose to relate.)  He asked me to collaborate.  I did not expect this to happen.  I felt somewhat anxious as I typed a few sentences to collaborate what he said.  Later, I noticed someone wrote she felt my energy was special when she saw me for the first time at the center.  I wrote 'that was the hard part for I did not like attention'.  My response caused some misunderstanding.  She wrote 'but, I had kept it to myself and had not talked to anyone about it.'  In the meantime, the lecturer continued to talk.  At the end, he suggested for me to surrender to the calling.  Someone commented I should write a book about my experiences.

I never knew June 13, 2020 would unfold like that.  13 had always seemed to be a special number to me.  Later, I suddenly remembered another important day.  Exactly 11 years ago, on June 13, 2009, I finally got the answers I had been looking for since the Dec. 2001 reading in the book Explorer Race and Beyond by Zoosh through Robert Shapiro.  (Re my post The conclusion of the mystery of a sister )  Was it a coincidence?  As I looked back at other important dates in my life, certain numbers or dates seemed to stand out.

There is much more to life than I know.  I will let it go now.  Good night!


Peace,

In time of chaos, know that Peace Is

Greetings!

While I was writing The Divine Is Ever-Present to Support and Assist, a thought came.  I clicked 'new post', and typed in 'In time of chaos, know that Peace Is' as the title of my next post.

After I published The Divine Is Ever-Present to Support and Assist , I tried to work on my next post.  I thought of relating the reactions of covid-19 of some of the people that I knew whom had expressed much fear.  I also thought of the heartwarming / uplifting stories that I learned from the news.  Time and time again, I deleted what I wrote after writing a few sentences.  Somehow, I felt what I wanted to write was not what the title was about.  I decided to let it go.  I deleted the draft.

                                           ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

Our family watched the evening news regularly.

Like most people around the world, we watched the brutal killing of George Floyd in utterly shock.  For those long minutes, we felt as if the knees were on our own neck and body.  We could not imagine the pain the brother must have gone through in his final minutes pleading desperately and saying that he could not breathe.  How could the policemen do that?  How painful and sad his family must feel seeing how he died!  This kind of brutality against the black people was not new.  It had happened far too many times!  That day many of us yelled in our hearts, "Enough is enough!  We can't let this happen again!"  In the days and weeks that followed, people filled the streets protesting and demanding justice.  People in other countries rose up against racism demanding justice, reform and equality for all too.  Despite of our differences in looks / skin colors, deep within we did felt our oneness.  Most of us considered that it was wrong to discriminate another person based on one's race.

One night, I went to bed after watching the late news.  During the protest, some people demanded to defund the police.  This triggered a remembrance of a young policeman who died some months ago.  He was very proud and happy to be a policeman.  He set out to do his job well.  He was friendly to all, and had befriended many people especially the children.  There must be others like him that entered the police professionals with the intention to serve.  The brutality committed by the racist policemen was wrong and unacceptable.  However, it was also wrong for people to throw glasses / gasoline filled containers at the police.  Two wrongs did not equate to one right.  Indeed, racist discrimination and violent arrest against black people must stop, and extensive reforms must begin in the police force.

The next morning "In time of chaos, know that Peace Is" came to me upon waking up.  It was true all that had happened around the world seemed to be chaotic, however, everything that unfolded was in divine timing or order.

Covid-19 impacted our daily life tremendously.  While many lived in fear, there were also signs of hope everywhere.  The healthcare professionals faced situations that they had never faced before.  Many bravely took on their responsibilities.  Their lives were touched and their sense of purpose had never been stronger.  Going through such an event changed lives and changed hearts.  People came up with innovative ideas to help others / the society.  People created protective shields and made masks.  They donated them to firefighters, policemen, nursing homes and hospitals.  Many volunteered to help in the covid-19 testing.  College students organized to collect farm products and deliver them to food bank for those that needed help.  (Re the Farm Link Project)  Their actions were like the sunshine that invigorated all lives on earth.

In the midst of the pandemic, we witnessed the brutal murder of George Floyd.  Thousands and thousands of people around the world marched demanding justice and voiced against racism.  People's view of race had evolved.  More and more people had come to recognize our oneness (sameness) and denounced racism.

                                            ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

           We must realize any change we desire must first begin within us.  

2020 is a year of change, and how each one of us conducts ourselves is of importance.  For instance, if we desire justice and equality, we should pay attention to our reactions to others.  

Do we look at others with love and respect even if they look different from us?  

Have we discriminated anybody because he or she is not of the same race that we are?  

It may be a long process to bring about the change or the necessary actual reforms in our society.  Let the change begin with us today!  Don't turn a blind eye toward injustice or misfortune that happens to others.  In the modern day of technology, we can stand up or speak up for others in many different ways.  (If you have time, please click to view Together We Can Change The World )

The Divine is Ever-Present to Support and Assist

Greetings!

On March 21, I drove to join the gathering.  The sun was shining beautifully.  The traffic was light.  On my way, I only saw a few cars every now and then.  It was very different from the other times when I drove over there.  The traffic was often heavy, and it took me much longer than expected to get there.  Obviously, most of the people in our state had followed the governor's orders and guidelines.  (Re my last post Their Way of Being Inspired Me )

I arrived early.  I was glad I could park my car by the building.  The other times I had to park my car in another parking lot across the street.

When I entered the room, the channel and the healer were already there setting up the equipment for live streaming.  We greeted one another.  I saw they had set up about 14 chairs with each chair a few feet apart.  I was somewhat surprised that I was the first one that arrived.  I sat on the last row to the left.

When it was time for streaming, the channel looked at me with a smile.  She said, "You are the only brave soul that come."  I smiled back.  I had assumed one or two people might not come.  I did not expect I would be the only one!  Others must have chosen to watch from home.  I moved to sit more toward the center so the facilitator did not have to look all the way to one side of the room as she spoke.

The channel began her talk by relating some recent messages that she received.  She answered all sort of questions with ease by giving examples and sharing her personal experiences.  She guided others to look at situations / relationships from different perspectives so as to see possible solutions / potentials.  She was truly an exceptional spiritual teacher and speaker.  A young woman and a young man walked in while she was talking.  They said it was their first time there.  Later, the channel entered into a trance.  Many beings / collectives such as Council of Light, the Pleiadians, Mary Magdalene, Archangel Gabriel, and the Arcturians came through to give guidance.  As expected, people (that watched the live streaming) asked many questions about the pandemic.  They asked if there would be a second wave of covid-19, how to handle the financial difficulty, what to do if there would be a government forced vaccine, and how to stop the virus.

I found the guidance from the Loving Beings profound and helpful.  For instance, they said global events such as the pandemic happened for a reason.  The world was going through a deep cleansing and purification, or the dismantling of the old world into a new world.  Many lightworkers might want to cancel or stop the virus, but we should let it run its course.  Despite of what it (covid-19) might seem on the surface, there were many potentials and opportunities for us (humanity) to grow in love and unity.  And, how each one of us conducted ourselves at this time was of much importance.  (The guidance from the divine beings were clearer and better than what I wrote, but, I could only recall using the simple words I knew.)

Afterward, we had a 15-minute break.

I walked out of the room, and saw a woman with a friendly smile sitting outside.  We talked a little.  The channel came out and began talking to her.  It seemed they knew each other well.  Later, they walked back into the room.  Another woman came.  It meant, other than the healer and the channel, there would be five of us at the healing gathering, i.e. the young woman and man, the two women and me.  Though there were only 7 of us, I fully trusted the Divine would use us and those that watched online as conduits to aid humanity and Mother Earth.

As soon as I got back into the room, powerful energy filled me and surrounded me.

The healer and the channel seated in the front.  The two of them facilitated the next two hours of the gathering because the other clairvoyant healer was not there.  The channel was a gifted clairvoyant.  She could see energy, spirit guides, angels and beings of other dimensions.  The healer said the channel was going to perform an activation too.  For an hour and a half, they talked about spiritual matters and answered questions.  As for me, I just wanted to close my eyes and enjoyed the powerful, loving energy.  It took some effort to open my eyes every now and then because of the human manner of showing respect.  No facilitator / speaker wanted to see someone in the audience closed her eyes all the time!

With half an hour left, the healer turned on the music for meditation.  He asked us to send our dense energies toward him.  He made it clear the dense energies did not harm him; beings of the 13th dimension used him as a conduit, transformed the energies into white light and sent the energies back to those that were present.  He said the channel would perform the activation during the meditation.

With the music playing, I held a vision of Mother Earth and totally bathed in the energy.  Near the end of the music, I quietly gave thanks to Mahatma, the Archangels and Angels, Lord Melchizedek, Galactic Beings, the Ascended Masters . . . . . .  (Re my last post)

After the music stopped, the healer asked the channel what she saw.  The channel said she saw a lot of Ascended Masters, Divine Mothers, Archangel Michael and many Cosmic Collectives.  She saw a lot of beams of light coming from different cosmic collectives, and a portal opened up within the Earth as if the beams transmuted the energies on Earth.  Hearing that, the woman with a friendly smile said she saw it too.  She said she saw many, many beings came forward from multi layers of dimensions.  Their comments were completely different from other times when the energy transfer was over.  The clairvoyant healer normally talked about the energy in the room before the healing and how people's aura expanded afterward. 

Two days after the gathering, the governor issued the stay-at-home order.

After I typed in the title of the post, I should say the divine is ever-present to inspire too.  Without the inspiration, I might not have gone to the gathering.

Greetings!

At the end of my last post I wrote -

To me, the governor was doing the right thing in issuing those orders and guidelines.  Of course, I would comply and only go out for groceries.  That was what I thought as I watched the governor spoke on TV.  (Re Covid-19 and Natalie Glasson's Channeled Messages )

Other than the 8-week lecture series, I had wanted to go to a spiritual gathering that would take place on March 21.

This group had meeting once a month.  I had gone to their gatherings. There were usually 15 to 30 people in attendance.  They live streamed the meeting because some people (locally as well as out of state) watched online and asked questions.  The facilitator for the first two hours was an amazing channel and a clairvoyant.  She channeled messages from multi-dimensional collectives and beings, e.g. Council of Light, Master Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Quan Yin, Archangels, and Pleiadians.  Then we had a 15-minute break.  Some people left after the channeling while others stayed.

The facilitator for the second part of the gathering talked about spiritual matters and answered questions for about an hour and a half.  Near the end of the gathering, he offered healing.  (That was why some people came for this part of the gathering.)  He had the gift to take in karmic / negative energies of the people in the room, and transformed the dense energies into higher vibrations.  On most occasions, there was a woman that sat next to the facilitator.  She could see people's energy field as a child.  She was herself a wonderful healer, and had shared many interesting stories of healing.  She used her clairvoyance to observe the energies of the people in the room, and related the change after the healing.  (After the first part of the gathering, the channel stayed behind to take care of streaming.  Sometimes she joined the discussion, and gave her take of the subject matter.  The three facilitators worked very well as a team.  Many light workers had joined them.  Together, they sponsored / organized big spiritual expos once or twice a year.  I loved and respected them for their pure intention of service.)  

I always stayed for the four plus hours.  Like most people, sometimes I needed healing too.  Besides, over the years, I had come to understand why my guides told me to sit among people, and had since held the intention of being a conduit of healing wherever I was (am).

I would have joined them more often or watched their live stream.  However, the place was not close to where I lived.  With my quiet nature, I often left after the gathering was over, and had not thought of asking for the link to watch live online.

After the governor's announcement, I completely let go of wanting to go to the gathering.

Everyday we heard a lot about the pandemic on the news.  My heart went out to people that were greatly affected by covid-19 in USA as well as other countries around the world.  While many people lived in fear, there were also people who bravely faced the situation.  During that time, many Italians died of the virus daily, yet people there showed courage, faith and love.  In the depth of their suffering, their doctors / scientists warned the Americans again and again to get prepared / ready to fight the virus for they did not want what happened in their country to happen in U.S.A.

On March 20, I was on the computer.  I suddenly thought of the teacher of healing.

The last time we met was in 2007 when she visited the state I lived in (i.e. the state where the small church was).  She encouraged me to work as a healer.  I said I did not feel qualified as a healer; I did not know what to do or how to work as a healer.  She said many people including some professional healers had participated in her workshops; she saw that XXXXX and me were the most powerful ones among them.  (Her words triggered some unsettling emotions within me for I never felt I was more powerful than anybody.  My reaction might have something to do with my past life experiences.)  She suggested for me to go to spiritual / healing centers and present myself such as offered to give a healing session for her / him (owner of a center).  At the time, I had not subscribed to the Internet, and did not have an email address.  I had a basic phone that I could make calls and receive calls.  From the phone book, I found an address of a center near me.  It turned out to be a shop that sold healing oils and other stuff.  Afterward, I did not go to other place.  With little earthly qualification in healing and limited command of English, I did not know how to present myself.   

Years had gone by.  I learned from a friend that the teacher had founded a church in the state she lived in, and authored a few books; after her husband passed away, she moved to California.

Sadly, I found out online that she had moved on in June, 2019.  In the years she lived in California, she continued to live an active life guiding, teaching, and facilitating retreats.  She had told us she chose the spiritual path as a child, and was in constant communication with the divine.  She had lived a fulfilling life.  With what happened around the globe now, she must be busy helping humanity from the inner planes.

As I remembered the teacher, I thought of a wonderful healer who also lived in California.  On his website, I learned he had himself available to help others from 9 am to 10 pm 7 days a week!  His dedication to his life purpose or healing work inspired me.  The March 21 spiritual gathering came to my mind.  It might be I should go to join the other light workers, I thought.

I turned off the computer, and went back to my bedroom to pray.  I told the Divine I planned to go to the gathering the next day.  I invited Mahatma, the cosmic logos, Goddesses Community, Archangels and Angels of the angelic kingdom, Lord Melchizedek, the universal logos, Melchior, the galactic logos, Helios and Vesta, the Solar logos, Lord Buddha, the planetary logos, all the ascended masters of the unified network of Light, Celestial White Beings, Celestial Dolphins and Unicorns, the galactic forces of light and many many more to use us as conduits; let their loving energies come through us to dissolve fear on earth, and surround Mother Earth and humanity with Love and Light.  As I prayed, I felt powerful energy enfolded me.

After I finished praying, I used the computer to sign up for the meeting.  I noticed I was the 11th one that signed up.  It was said gathering of 10 or more people should be avoided, but I felt peaceful.  I was sure 1 or 2 people that had signed up might not show up because of the present situation.

I would share with you about the gathering in my next post.
