IN THE BEGINNING ...
“GOD IS Alive and hiding in Eachoneofus” – Reverend John’s Guidance, 1971
“You know not how close you come to touching the face of God as you touch and are touched by each other." – Dr. James Martin Peebles through Thomas Jacobson
"The entire universe is a loving and living experience of divine thought...a fabric that is intermeshed with all things." - Dr. James Martin Peebles, through Cynthia Williams
“There is no one above you and also there is no one below you, for you are each on your own path.” “There is nothing you create or have created that you cannot step above. They are all (vibrational) effect patterns. It is like free will; if you are dealing with free will, you are stumbling over one effect pattern after another (and) painting your bridges as you cross them. But, you may step above them and build them, instead. Then you never have to worry about a tiger sneaking up on you from behind. – The Old Chinese, Chung Fu
"All of life has been created to return you to your innermost truth, and it will do that if you will but allow it to." - Donald Neale Walsch, in his book, "Tomorrow's God".
"What is the gift of life and the happenings therein? Look at what does this story lead me to emotionally? What does it lead me to, in a way, that gives me a broader understanding of myself." – P’taah, through Jani King
“God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet. There is a divine purpose behind everything; and therefore a divine presence in everything” - Dr. Peebles, through Summer Bacon
“You have each come to this school called earth to learn to step above it.” “Your world provides a model of what you must step above. You will not find direction in any government ... school or church or in a book. You will not find it in a society or an organization. The only role you will find it in is in the livingness of your self.” - Old Chinese (Chung Fu)
Your life and even your body is the “Silver Chalice”. Eat and drink from life and you shall be wearing the “Golden Crown” of Jewels. – Brother John Michael
"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." - John Muir
Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing more than the limit of our sight” – Rossiter W. Raymond
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says” ... I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives
it." - Revelation 2:17
ABUNDANCE:
"The way that you begin to open yourselves to create more abundance in your life is to really focus and be in the feeling of abundance." ---P'taah
"All things are possible, and all things are real, and all things can be divinely experienced if you can learn to realize yourself in the world, to real-ize yourself; to see yourself with truth, to know your true abundance. There is absolutely a plan for your life and this plan is born and birthed from the heart of God." – Dr. Peebles trough Summer Bacon
ACCEPTANCE:
By having acceptance for yourselves, now, in this very moment, in every aspect of your beeingness will allow fluidity and movement so that you will not be “stuck” anymore. Thus, those things that you want to choose differently will change much easier and quicker and those you want to keep will be so much more enjoyable. Loving allowance is so important in life.
ANGELS
“I have seen a thousand times that angels are human form or men, for I have conversed with them as man to man, sometimes with one alone, sometimes with many in company.” – Emanuel Swedenborg
ANGER
“Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools” ~Albert Einstein
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned”. ~Buddha
AWARENESS
“Awareness of everything as one ... is Love. - Dr James Martin Peebles
BEAUTIFLY INSPIRING WORDS - About Beauty
"Who you are is so awesomely beautiful that you take our breath away. And you know, you do not know that you are. Remember, my beloveds, if you were not awesomely beautiful, if you were not this perfection NOW, at this moment, you would not perceive the beauty and the perfection outside of who you are." - From P'taah Qote of the Week: February 2001
BELIEF
“Just as you may wonder how others could believe what they do, so others may wonder about you. You know, it isn't to judge this, only to acknowledge that everybody's path is a valid one and a kind of epiphany, as you would call it, into the understanding that your own magnificence, your own power, your own connectedness, may come at any time through any means. “ – P’taah
"Belief is Confidence" - Dr. James Peebles
It is not for you to worry what others do or don't do; it is for you to see that YOU do your best. - Donald Neale Walsch
"Your beliefs are the lens of perception that you look through to view your life. You then make your choices based on those perceptions, whether your lens is rosy, blue, green, cloudy or even black." - William James, posthumously
"Whether You Believe You Can, Or You Can't, You Are Right" - Henry Ford (The car maker)
CHANGE
"Change is the greatest constant in the universe" - Dr. C.F.W. Kohlenberger (1948)
"It is not the strongest nor the most intelligent species that survive. It is the one that is the most adaptive to change." - Charles Darwin
"Life is what happens as change takes place" - Donald Neale Walsch
"Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code." - Carl Gustav Jung
"I have told you that if you do not like the state of your world, it is yourselves you must change, individually and en masse. This is the only way that change will be affected" - Seth, through Jane Roberts
You will not allow yourself to shift and change because most of the time you contemplate change as chaos, as something to be afraid of. Yet change is your only constant. - Ptaah Light Source (2009)
Well, you know, beloved, remember that nothing needs fixing. - P'taah
CHOICES
You exercise your mind and emotions (sending out electromagnetic energy) to make them thousands of times each day without even realizing you are doing so. These choices build your life as certainly as bricks build a building. So, be aware of how you choose. If you are going to do it, you might as well choose joy, peace, harmony and love.
You are the One. You are powerful, multi-dimensional masters. You contain within you the ability to transform energy and matter, to transform fear into love, to access any and all information necessary to live successful and joyful lives. You are not, nor have you ever been victims. You have created every circumstance, every situation or event that you have ever experienced. Some you have created out of love and joy; some you have created out of fear. The Universe, the Source does not judge these events, or your choices. They simply exist. You, as Perfect, Eternal Expressions of the Source may play this game called life any way you wish. – P’taah
"There is really only one question: Who am I?
There is really only one answer: I am an extention of the Mind of Creation experieincing itself in this dimension of perceived reality." – P’taah
CREATION
"Your intentions put divine energies in tension and thus pull things, people and situations to you." - Brother John K
God is "everlasting", thus Creation goes on forever as well, in the form of re-creation; all for the fun of recreation, Thus, we find out Who We Thought We were, Who We Are NOW and Who We Desire to Become; as we discover the Holy Trinity and the Living Spirit within us. - Brother John K '09
"Is it your thought that I despise some of these and I love others? I tell you, I despise nothing (for it is all ME). None of it is repulsive to me. It is life and life is the gift, the unspeakable treasure, the holy of holies." – Donald Neale Walsch
"If you come from the premise that everything is perfect, then no matter what it is or how you create it or from where you create it, always it is an opportunity to come to know more. And you could say that the pointer is in, 'What is the reaction?' - Ptaah
“As individuals you create your own realities, and the realities of all Earth's residents are the collective consciousness, which creates the conditions that exist on the planet. This is why your thoughts about the life you want - the world you want - are so important.” – Michael
"Each of us is totally unique -- just like everyone else."-- Swami Beyondananda
No-thing is "separate" from any other, and yet each is uniquely a creation of All-That-Is. - JMK
DESTINY
Everyone chooses a destiny, a destiny designed by God/Goddess/All That Is, a destiny divined and designed by your own consciousness. Whatever its source, destiny is chosen. And we choose our destiny … divined and designed by our own consciousness. And we choose a destiny of loving you … of walking with you, of working with you … of loving you. She is returning – the Goddess – with all her Divine Love. And we love you. That is our destiny. -- Lazaris
DICHOTOMY
"The dichotomy is that over here we have that which is called the light and the transformation … and over here we have the war and the starvation, the violence and the fear.
When you get away from all of this, it is all part of the same thing and it is called God! And there is nothing else, only the Source, only Creation, only that wondrous, limitless energy. (Softly) There is nothing else. " - P'taah
New Idea earlier this week: Inventing missiles and anti-missles along with going to war are all very creative (even if you judge them to be “negative”) uses of Divine Energy. The difference between “positive” and “negative” use of Divine Energy is simply whether its source comes from love or fear. - The Guidance of Rev. John K
New Idea Today: The difference in the results is; one helps you grow through expansion, love and joy while the other helps you grow through limitation, pain and anguish. Either way, we all grow toward more knowledge and understanding of how we are creators! (And how we are all made from the seed and thus in the image of God-Goddess) - The Guidance of Rev. John K
EVIL
This term has many acronyms:
"Everything Valid Is Life" or "Everything Valid Is Living"
And if you just turn around when in the midst of it, "evil" becomes, "live"!
Why does it exist? Because it adds perspective to our lifes!
EXPLORATION:
"We are explorers". "To go on an adventure that takes you away from your security, power and identity can be scary ... yet we must" - Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, on Bill Moyer's PBS program, author of "The Third Chapter"
FEAR
FEAR is the acronym for "False Expectations Appearing Real" - Margret Meade or Wayne Dyer?
"Forgetting Everything's All Right"
"False Expectations & Assumptions Revealed!"
“Fantasized Energy Afforded Reality""That which thinks itself separate from the All-That-Is is just another word for fear and it is not powerful." - P'taah
FUNDAMENTALISM
Be a fundamentalist: Always make sure da fun comes before da mental. Realize that life is a situation comedy that will never be cancelled. A laugh track has been provided and the reason why we are put in the material world is to get more material. Have a good laughsitive twice a day and that will insure regularhilarity! ~Swami Beyondananda
GOD
A few acronyms for "GOD":
"Getting Over Division" - Neale Donald Walsch in his second book
or as I have experienced it: "Getting Over Divisiveness"
... "Getting Over Defensiveness"
Our political processes sure could use some of this "GOD medicine"
"God allows" - Many Wordsworth Keeping
GOD IS WITHIN US
"The highest revelation is that God is in every man." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"There is within me that which knows what to do and compels me to act in accord with its perfect Law and Order, and its complete Peace." - Ernest Holmes
“GOD IS Alive and hiding in Eachoneofus” – Reverend John’s Guidance, 1971
GROWTH
"Sometimes, when you are having the most trouble, is when you're growing the best." - an Old Chinese friend.
HAPPINESS
"Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing." - William Butler Yeats
ILLUSIONS of Separation:
“Certainly this is a quest for love that you and life have embarked upon. And, in this journey to your heart you are finding illusions, temporary illusions of separation, within self and between life.”
“It is your labor of love to diminish and dissolve these very same illusions. Therein you will find fulfillment beyond your wildest dreams and imaginations.” – Dr. James Martin Peebles through Thomas Jacobson
“The metaphysicians and the scientists, who are usually at odds with one another, agree totally on this issue: Your reality is a product of thought. Your reality is a product of consciousness. Your reality is an illusion of light. Your reality is an illusion. " – Lazaris
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." - -Albert Einstein
"Belief in the separation of Good and Evil is living in the Illusions of Separation". - Peebles, through Summer Bacon
"They are merely polarities, like the North & South poles of a battery. Put them together and you get a spark of light, heat and movement" - Old Chinese
IMAGINATION
"Imaginatruion is more important than science," Albert Einstein
IMPERFECTION
The pull of gravity and love pull things together causing clumping such as in stars on the heavens or cities upon our planet. What we recognize as "order" and "perfection" are but specific instances of all the possible orders and perfections in this grand universe and life.
"without lack of order or imperfection, neither you or I would exist" - Steven Hawking
INTUITION
"The only real valuable thing is intuition." Albert Einstein
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." - Albert Einstein
JUDGMENT
"As we say all of this in most seriousness, we also ask you to look at a lighter side which reminds you that this is all a game; that this is only one lifetime. You understand? That you are really eternal beings playing this game, doing the best that you can. That there is no judgment how you play this game, how you are in this game, only that always there is an opportunity to be the more. Does that make sense?" - Ptaah LightSource
KINGDOM COMING?
And his disciples said, "When will the kingdom come?"
Jesus said, "It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there !’. Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it." - from the Gospel of Thomas
IT IS ALREADY HERE " ...for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear."
LIFE (General)
"Life is not fair ... it's a circus" - John M. Kohlenberer (age 15)
LIVING A LIFE OF LOVE:
“Love simply; Simply love” – Jonnathan Book 2, by Robin Miller
"Life is meant to be Loved Lived" - Brother John's Guidance
"Love is quantum energy" - Kryon, through Lee Carroll (from the "Sedona Journal" magazine)
Begin to live a life of love and service in all you encounter and all you do. Be a living example of the precept of love. See all things as an expression of that creative love called God. Know that there is no need for judgement, for judgement is of the lower physical self, or ego, and what right do you have to judge others because they haven't learned a certain human lesson yet? Judgement often stems from fear. Fear is not living in the Godself. Rather, fear prompts you to turn your back on the truth.
In striving for a higher understanding of the expression of self, you need to put away that which is not real: judgement, prejudices, and petty ego stroking. Instead, open yourself to the light of tolerance and love -- love in its purest form -- and don't attempt to cloud the picture with unnecessary trivialities. - (lost the source)
NEGATIVITY or CREATIVITY?
"It is not to get lost in what you regard to be negative. It is to remind yourselves that this universe, this reality, this dimension is a dimension of polarity. And what is to occur is that the polarities will embrace to create the light. "
Paraphrase: All entities and energies need to touch, but not get lost in what you regard to be negative. For, it is all to remind ourselves that this universe, this reality, this dimension is a dimension of polarity. And so we find that even in the physical(the “base desires”) when the so-called polarities embrace they create the light, life and love!
See “Dicotomy”
NIRVANA
"Being in Nirvana, or Heaven, is Being in Love" - Dr. Peebles

PAIN & FEAR
"We are here to remind you that pain and fear are not the only methods of growth; that you can more elegantly grow through joy and love. . . that you can create your own reality . . . that there is a God/Goddess/All That Is who loves you, who knows your name. . . and that you love good enough" -- Lazaris
PERFECTION
"You may assume that if a thing happens to you, it is perfect that it did so—for nothing escapes perfection in Cod's world. The design of your life—the people, places, and events in it—have all been perfectly created by the perfect creator of perfection itself: you. And Me ... in, as, and through you." - Neale Donald Walsch. in CwG III
"without imperfection, neither you or I would exist" - Steven Hawking

Julius Caesar said that if you can make the people fearful enough, you don't have to take their power from them. They will offer it willingly because they are so frightened.
PRAYER
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike". John Muir, 1912.
When we talk to God, we're praying; but when God talks to us, we're in deep meditation or dreams. - Brother John K
PROPHECY
“There is no future sealed by another's prophecy. Every human being is capable of tuning into their own channel and finding the answers needed for now and later. It is each one's vision, decision and actions that will predict your future, not rummaging around to find out what forecasters predict is going to happen years from now, maybe “
“Let Your Life have a chance to speak through your magical soul. Immerse yourself in the magical process of your Life. Learn how to dance with your mystical soul. You are the keepers of your future. Let your Life speak and learn to trust it so you will know this for yourself” - World Puja Network
POWER
Julius Caesar said that if you can make the people fearful enough, you don't have to take their power from them. They will offer it willingly because they are so frightened.

To be "present" in this physical body and life a spiritual gift for you. - Brither John K
RAPTURE
”Rapture is a beautiful experience, for there is continuity there. It is not a place wherein you float out into space, wherein you simply sit in a state of constant and eternal bliss, it is instead a state of surrender to any condition and any circumstance in your life upon the earth, absolute surrender because you know that God’s love is the constant here and you know that you can find freedom and salvation for your soul in any given moment by remembering this.” - Dr Peebles through Summer Bacon
RELATIONSHIPS
"It is through relationships that we learn to express and receive love, to forgive, to help and to serve. - Dr. Brian L, Weiss, "Through Time into Healing"

TECHNOLOGY & SPIRITUALITY:
"There are many, many other civilizations 'out there' who are technically more advanced than you, but spiritually not. And after all, the only thing that counts is the spirituality. It does not matter what the technology is. If there is no spirituality it will all fall down." – Ptaah 1/1/2003
TOGETHERNESS
Together We Create our Fulfillment in Life, using the Magic Elixir of Love that we each came to earth to learn about and use. - Brother John K
TRAVEL
"...nothing so liberalizes a man and expands the kindly instincts that nature put in him as travel and contact with many kinds of people." - from a Letter to the San Francisco "Alta California" newspaper by Samual Clemens (Mark Twain)
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."- Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream." - Mark Twain
There is nothing outside of you. You are the central sun of your universe and so it all radiates out from the center of you. Whether you choose to see it as wonderous or something less than worthy, it all comes from The God who is You (The I AM). You can only perceive outside of you what is “real”ized inside. - Brother John K
TRUST
"When you know that you are eternally in the arms of the Goddess, beloved, trust does not even enter into it. Trust, in a way, is an intellectual concept. It believes that things can be the opposite of what you desire. 'Trust' is of the mind, 'knowing' is of the heart. Does that make sense? ... P'taah, through Jani King
"Trust is acknowledging your inner truths." - Dr. Peebles, through Summer Bacon
TRUTH
"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." -Albert Einstein

"The reality you experience is a reflection of what you believe is most possible. - Bashar, through Darryl Anka

"Love is your true self, which springs forth from God, the indefinable everlasting fountain of existence. The fictional self is who you thought you were when you forgot that you were love." – Love Without End”, by Glenda Green
YOUR TRUTH
You can only recognize your own truth, beloved ones. You know that you are powerful Gods and goddesses. You know that you can change the reality and you absolutely know that in the embracement of the fear, you transcend the polarities to become all theat you could dream possible - P'taah
