Greetings!
In a gathering, a woman raised her hand and asked the workshop facilitator, "What is love?" Hearing the question, some laughed under their breath wondering how the young facilitator would respond to such a question. Lightheartedly, the facilitator sang the title of a song (that was about love). We all laughed.
"What is love?"
It was a big question. There was probably no one answer that might satisfy the one who asked. The facilitator shared with us his wisdom. As expected, the woman asked some more questions. At one point, I raised my hand to share my view. It was not that I thought my words could explain what love was. I said it because the woman might be open to another point of view. Later, the facilitator said, "to me, love is in the air we breath; love is in the clouds in the sky . . . . .", and moved on with the workshop. Personally, I liked his poetic words of love.
I did not write this post to explain 'what is love' for I could not. Many spiritual seekers accepted we were love, but no words could convey fully all that were of love. In my view, love must be experienced or recognized. Since we experienced love / life from different levels of awareness, one's words on love might be perceived as vague or meaningless by another.
I wrote this post because I remembered a message about love channeled through Natalie Glasson. In the message, the being wanted us to ask ourselves a question.
"What is the difference between the love of your being and the love of my being?"
On that day, I closed my eyes and contemplated on the question before I continued reading the message. I would share with you the message in my next post.
The above-mentioned workshop was one of the most interesting workshops I had been to. The facilitator was a healer, psychic and author. In his workshop, he talked about a 14-chakra system. He could see a lot in one's energy field such as past lives and experiences that affected that person. He said if a particular chakra was dominant or out of balance, it had a great impact on one's way of functioning in life. For example, one that was functioning from the heart chakra might have very different views from one that had a dominant sacral chakra. He demonstrated his point by casually talking to a few in the audience. He was quite accurate. His words were assuring and aiming toward healing. From his workshop, we learned some people might seemed self-centered, but it was their way of handling life.
"What is love?" "What is the difference between the love of your being and others?" If you have time, please think about theses questions. Please know that there is no right or wrong answers.
Love,

Last Post on Attributes
Greetings!
In my post The Word Attribute , I shared that this word came through to replace the word 'personality' while I was writing my journal. Other than an interesting dream on attribute on April 11, 2019, I also recalled two incidents that had something to do with attributes. They happened while I was living in the other state.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
One day in 2010 or 2011, my friends invited me to go with them to visit their friend who was not feeling well. They said this friend talked to angels and was quite an artist. In her house, I saw many beautiful pictures hanging on the walls. Later, we sat down to talk and have some tea. As my friends were talking, this friend suddenly turned to me and said, "Oh! Courage and strength are your attributes!" As if she had not said anything out of the ordinary, she joined in the talk with my friends. My friends might not have paid attention or heard what she said, but I was stunned.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After My Big Moment of Embarrassment , I was more at ease at church. I made a few friends. Looking back, the events that happened in the following months (Nov. and Dec. 2007) were like a movie. If you are new to my blog, please click to view the following posts that were published some years ago.
I said 'No' three times on this Sunday
Archangel Metatron and the healing session
It is in the not knowing that makes life intriguing
On April 13, 2008, Sunday, powerful energy surged me and moved me to get out of my seat to work on a woman that sat on the last pew. The human I was somewhat relieved that she did not seem to notice I was working on her. Her attention was on the Sunday service. Afterward, I went back to my seat. When the Sunday service was over, I left right away.
Two Sundays later, I participated in the quarterly healing service for the second time. The following Sunday (May 4, 2008) I had planned to go to Unity Church, but I 'got' it I should go to the small church. After the service, the woman that I was guided to work on in April came to me. She said she talked to a pastor about her health problems, and the pastor (** see note at the bottom of the post) suggested for her to have a healing session with me. She said she had been with the Christ Consciousness study group on Sundays before service since Oct. 2007. She asked if I could come early next Sunday to join the class, and worked on her afterward.
It turned out the Christ Consciousness class was almost over. The pastor kindly printed out the notes for the entire course (44 pages) for me to read at home. The course was based on the book 'The Christ Is Born in You' by Kim Michaels. From the notes, I learned the teachings in the book came through Kim from Jesus Christ. Jesus and Kim had worked closely in other lifetimes. Kim was a good messenger because he did not have a need for self-aggrandizement, power and control. Below were some excerpts from the last two pages of the notes.
In writing this post, I looked up the definition of attributes online. There were many definitions, and I found this definition interesting -
An attribute is a quality or characteristic given to a person, group, or some other thing.
We were not just the human beings we appeared to be. We were souls / spirits in bodies living a life on earth. We came from the same Source / Creator. We were equal by nature, yet were unique in our own ways. Each one of us carried certain aspects / divine qualities / divine energetic attributes, abilities, and talents to show in this world. As human beings, we did not remember who we truly are / were. We often faltered and created chaos in life. We had to remember earth was a school. We were actors or actresses in A Play on the Stage of Life . (I had this dream years ago. It helped me a lot in letting go and looking at life differently.)
It might be hard for us to perceive our own divinity or others' divinity. Sometimes we wish bad people would burn in hell or would never born on earth again. I had heard such a story. A man was a priest at a big church. There were many priests at the church. He was the most popular priest because the congregation loved to hear his talks. However, he felt something was amiss. He felt the church was too strict and intolerant of some that came. Most of all, he felt 'god is love' while the church always stressed on fearing god. After some soul searching, he chose to leave the church. One day in his meditation, he saw himself as a minister in his previous / other lifetime. In that lifetime, his teaching was dogmatic and focused mainly in spreading fear of god; many people ended up living in fear and pain because of him. He 'got' that he came into this lifetime to make amends, speak the truth, and deliver the message of love. Since then, he had been a well loved spiritual teacher and speaker at many interfaith churches. He was also a professional counselor who had helped many on their journey of life.

October is almost over. I have gone to some interesting events by myself. It may not be a big deal to most, but it is to me.
The fire in California is still raging. Let us pray for California and people that live there.

In Dec. 2001, I had a phone reading by a known angel channel that lived in another state. When I inquired about my connection with a being, I was told the being and I had similar life experiences - we were rejected / denied by groups / families saying we did not belong / qualify, and we had to fight to prove that we were; the being had taken me under her arm as her personal child for we had the same courage and strength.As I always had been, I did not ask this new friend why she said what she said on that day.

Obviously, some people could not serve as messengers, because their personalities and beliefs would distort the message.
He (Kim) and I (Jesus) form a unique soul-polarity whereby we complement and balance each other. I am direct, and he is gentle.
Every soul is created from a spiritual flame. My flame (Jesus) has the qualities of power and truth, and I expressed those qualities during my mission. That is why the New Testament records that I "taught with authority."
Kim's flame has the qualities of love and truth. When I speak through him, his love balances my power and we achieve something that none of us could achieve alone.As I read the notes, I understood why 'attributes' came through to replace 'personality' when I was writing my journal. Attributes might not be the same as human traits / personal characters. When we talked about personality, we used words such as introvert, extrovert, strong, weak, courageous, kind, mean, jealous, self-centered, materialistic, uncaring or compassionate to describe other's personal character. Most of us had lived numerous lifetimes. In my dream experience, I had some past-life dreams (or other lifetime dreams). Sometimes the dreams helped me to understand my past connection with this or that person that appeared in my current life. I had observed myself with similar personality as I was now in some of the dreams, and had seen myself with very different personality in a few of the past life dreams too.

An Interesting Dream on Attribute and the song 'A Time for Us'
Greetings!
Here was the dream I had in the morning of April 11, 2019. (Re The Word Attribute )
I was in a big classroom. It was filled with students. A teacher, male, instructed the students to reflect on their life and come up with what they obtained / attained ** from their experiences. He said what one had obtained / attained from one's experiences was like a ring on a finger. He gave us some examples such as Ring of Power, Ring of Fire and etc. (** I used got / obtained / attained while writing down my dream. These were the words that the human I was familiar with, and might not necessary signify any difference in the meaning.)
I talked to the others. Some said they attained this or that. I was undecided as what I had obtained. It seemed each one of us sat by a desk with two chairs. So we could move around and talk. I went to the desk where my mother was, and sat next to her. She was totally focused on reflecting upon her life. I went to another desk, and sat next to my son (i.e. my older son). He was focused on his assignment too. I went back to the desk I used to sit. Some students were moving around talking to the others like I did. (When I moved to sit next to my mother or my son, I observed how focused they were. We did not talk.)
By then, the teacher had left the classroom to let us do our work.
At this point of the dream, I felt confused. I seemed to be observing what went on in the dream instead of in the dream as I had been.
I saw the me in the dream came up with the thought that I had obtained / attained 'gentleness' through my life experiences; life was not by force or power, and it was through my gentleness that I had made a difference.
I saw two men came to where I sat. They were there to take me to see the head of the school or the council (no clear indication in the dream). Though I used the word 'talk', no words were spoken. Everything that went on was more like a mutual understanding than a conversation. There was an indication that what I came up was of importance.
The observing me wondered why was it what I came up was important. Did it mean I attained the Ring of Gentleness? At that instant, the human judgment came in. I thought as far as I knew 'gentleness' was not an attribute (as said*) in the attributes of God. (*the words 'as said' were in my journal)
Then I woke up hearing music in the air. The music, enthused with powerful energy, became louder and louder. I bathed in a wonderful field of energy. The music went on and on. It became more and more invigorating as if telling me something yet I did not know the title or the lyrics of the song. My whole being was energized and filled with powerful energy. I did not want to leave the bed.
I finally got out of bed to use the computer to find out what the music / song was. I went to the website and hummed the tune. The song was
A Time For Us
The first one on the list on YouTube was sung by Andy Williams. I liked the lyrics. Why did I hear this song? I did not know. Since that morning, I heard the song every now and then. On that day, I simply wrote down the dream and what happened later as it had happened. I did not try to analyze the dream.
In this particular dream, I felt confused for a moment when I found myself observing instead of in the dream as I had been. However, I wanted to point out that in some of my dreams I was the observer as well as a participant in the dream too. As I observed what went on in a dream, sometimes thought / ideas / inspiration came. I might learn a lesson or something about myself through observing a dream.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If you have been reading my blog, I have shared many stories on this phenomenon of waking up and hearing music. For examples, You Are My Sunshine , Music in the air , On Angels Day I heard 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel' , Sukiyaki on Christmas Morning and And I love you so . To this day, I still cannot remember the lyrics of most of these songs except And I love you so and A Time for us.
Enjoy the nice weather and beauty of fall!
Many Blessings,
