Quiet, consciousness & gratitude

BOSS — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:43:25 +0000

The speed with which changes can unfold will astound you….you should be able to move forward without any difficulty. It is a question of consciousness, of being able to raise one’s consciousness and adjust to all that is taking place. Those souls who are aware of the Christ consciousness are being drawn together at this time like steel to a magnet. We may not always be aware of it at the time, but it will become very clear in the days ahead. It is this consciousness which is drawing more and more souls together so that we all may become aware of the Christ within, and give eternal thanks for this awareness. — Eileen Caddy, Opening Doors Within (Findhorn Press, 20th Anniversary Edition, 2007)

Thank you, Karen M. Rider

Be at perfect peace

November

“I was shown the earth like a draught board painted in big black and white squares. As rain came down, the black paint ran into the white, and the whole became a dirty grey. Then even heavier rain came, and the whole was transformed into the purest white. I heard the words:

Have faith. Hold fast and know that the whole earth and all in it are going through a tremendous cleansing process. All is very, very well, for all is going according to my plan. Be at perfect peace.”

– from “Opening Doors Within” by Eileen Caddy/Findhorn Press

Tina makes herself at home

BOSS — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:16:14 +0000

My how the year does get away. We lost two lovely neighbors this fall, one to advanced old age and one to New York City. The garden’s put away, the hostas and other plants are cut back. The deer are making themselves seen, and…a wild turkey has taken up residence in our residential hamlet by the lower lake. We’ve named her Tina. Today, she’s making herself comfortable on our back deck right outside the kitchen door. She probably knows Thanksgiving is still safely three weeks away

Take good care of the elders

Evolved

“As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.”

That is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It accompanies a picture of a tree titled “Evolved” in Joan’s book, PersonaliTrees: Let the Human Spirit Awaken in the Presence of Trees. The tree has a stong — but not straight — trunk, and appears to have weathered and withstood more than a few trying seasons. Its unique beauty becomes apparent if we allow our perception to absorb the decades of spiritual strength this tree exudes, and is trying to share with us. If you think of it today (or tomorrow or the day after) take a moment to appreciate a human being who has evolved in such a way. Do some small nice thing without their even knowing about it. You may not know him or her; you may not even have occasion to have have a conversation with them. But having appreciated them, your spirit will be lifted in a very real way.

A Calming Three Minute Meditation: repost by request

BOSS — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 12:10:30 +0000

One early April morning, Joan sat down at the piano in our house overlooking the lake. She has a system (she calls it the BOSS system) whereby she places her fingers on the keyboard, clears her mind, and just lets the music of the moment come forth. She says she could never play any of these inventions the same way again. Lucky I have the H2 Zoom digital recorder handy at such occasions. Here’s what came out that day; I named it Spring Thaw. Think of it as a three minute meditation on the changing of the season. Enjoy.

All-day rain refreshes our spirit, and the trees

BOSS — Sat, 14 May 2011 22:45:02 +0000

Today we are having one of those all-day rains that I remember from years past. So often now it seems we have mostly weather events of extreme kinds, with high winds and driving downpours. Today, though, it’s a grey, all-day soaker gentle enough for the orioles and finches to be at the feeders as if nothing is out of the ordinary. We are particularly happy that Joan’s 2nd book, “HumaniTrees: Exploring Human Nature through the Spirit of Trees” (Findhorn Press) has arrived at the warehouse in Chicago and is now available in the U.S. The book, and the beauty of today’s weather, reminds us that the woods can be a place of quiet contemplation — and great excitement — where we can experience love and grace if we allow it.

HumaniTrees has arrived!

More from Diana Cooper’s tour of New England

BOSS — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:51:18 +0000

Maine: the way life should be…or something like that…it’s the state motto, we’re told, and for good reason. After a wonderful three days of accompanying Diana Cooper on her book and teaching tour in the amazing cities of Andover, MA, and Nashua, NH (courtesy of Cathy & Elizabeth and everybody at Circles of Wisdom in Andover), we moved on to beautiful Freeport, ME. There, thanks to Melissa and family (Leapin’ Lizards stores in Portland & Freeport) we were treated to — among other things — fresh Maine lobster and the amazing beauty of the rocky seacoast. It was fantastic! The incredible energy at these sites has Diana wanting to revisit these two areas of the NE US in the near future. Given the timely and vital importance of Diana’s teachings (see Findhorn Press: 2012 and Beyond, Keys to the Universe), we’re looking at a BIG tour of the states for her in 2012, from the NE to the Pacific Northwest. Stay tuned.

In New England with Diana Cooper, Preparing for 2012 and Beyond

BOSS — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 02:45:21 +0000

We are thrilled to be accompanying Findhorn Press author Diana Cooper on her very first visit to New England for a series of classes and workshops. Diana had a full house Friday at Circles of Wisdom in Andover, Mass., for ‘Keys to the Universe’ and another today in Nashua, N.H, for ‘Preparing for 2012 and Beyond.’ Tomorrow’s ‘Lemurian Healing’ class here at the Raddison in Nashua promises to be equally powerful and enlightening. Our hosts on the first leg of the journey, Cathy from Circles of Wisdom and Angelologist/healer Elizabeth Foley, are showing us why so much positive energy and community building is centered in this region of the country.

If you want to see Diana before she returns to the UK, we’re headed next to Portland and Freeport, Maine (Leapin’ Lizards) April 5 & 6, and Katonah, New York (Awakenings) April 8 & 9. Google them, call them, make reservations and join us if you can. It may be the most important thing you can do in preparation for the changes coming in 2012.

We can’t stop watching the eagles’ nest LIVE…
