The first is\nrelated to my taking the Hay House 7 day writer\u2019s challenge last week and the\nhomework for July 26<sup>th<\/sup> was to write a post. I was already in the\nmidst of this so I figured I would use it. The course material outlined that a\nsocial media post should follow the format of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Relate a story from your own life.<\/li><li>Describe the insight you gained from that\nexperience.<\/li><li>Offer the reader guidance for how they, too,\nmight put that insight to use.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised to see that I have been following\nat least 2\/3rds of this format for these 7 years of blogging. I just don\u2019t\nusually offer the reader guidance. I am not sure I want to but for this exercise\nI will just to be the good girl and complete my assignment.&nbsp; (One more thought on this is that I don\u2019t think\nthat my writing this blog has been for the purpose of engaging a reader. It\u2019s\nbeen for my benefit to release and document my thoughts but mostly to be a\nspace of reflection for the big ideas that tickle the edges of my mind which\nrequire this medium to develop into my awareness.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also some new thoughts and discoveries this past week\nso I will work these in below. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The italicized sections below are from the July 2020 post.\nNew content follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>July 26 \u2013 Universal Truths.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A couple of weeks ago\nI was thinking if I could put together a list of the Universal Truths that I\nhave learned from teachers and experience. The few that always come to mind are\nJesus: you reap what you sow; Caroline Myss: what is one is in the whole. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I didn\u2019t spend any time\non this; it was just an exercise I thought I would take up one Sunday morning. Soon\nafter this I watched the movie that Daryl Anka made about channeling Bashar\nwhich became available on Gaia. It is called First Contact. In the film they\nshow scenes of Barshar channels and in one he gave the following:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bashar: Five Laws of\nCreation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><em>I \/You\nexist.<\/em><\/li><li><em>Everything\nis here and now.<\/em><\/li><li><em>The\none is the All, the all are the One.<\/em><\/li><li><em>What\nyou put out is what you get back.<\/em><\/li><li><em>Everything\nchanges except the first 4 laws. <\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There it is. The\nsummary I was thinking of \u2026 Universal Truths all placed together. A nice short\nlist that I can now related to the lessons engraved into my mind. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The first is my first\nlesson \u2013 I am an eternal being. Or, as many have quoted \u201cWe are spiritual\nbeings having a human experience\u201d. Deepak Chopra I have as attributed to this\nquote from early in the blog. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The second Truth has\nno greater teacher than Eckert Tolle teaching \u201cThe Power of Now\u201d. Michael Singer\nalso does a great job helping us to understand that living only happens in the\nnow with his great lessons on mindfulness. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The third Truth is\nwhat Caroline says that rings through my being continuously, \u201cWhat is in one is\nin the Whole\u201d. This has been a great tool for me in my reflections when I am\ntrying to understand something and can relate society issues to cells of the\nbody or connections and flow to leaves and branches on a tree. I think the\nbiggest lesson I took from the Course in Miracles what to question myself \u201chow\ncan I look at this differently?\u201d This Truth is the stepping stone to different\nlevels of perspective: how do cells interact, how do animals, people, mystics,\nJesus, Stars, and Galaxies \u2026 on and on. Wonderful tool!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Truth four of what you\nput out you get back is what Jesus taught that you reap what you sow. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Although \u2026 there is\nmore here. I always saw this in a negative sense, like a warning, to be careful\nnot to do bad as bad will come back. But there is the other side, law of\nattraction. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What I like to say to\nmyself \u2026 believing is seeing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And today I understand\nour lives are the physicality of energy and vibration. Magnetic attraction,\nvibrational resonance and harmony are in play to bring us the experiences that\nare drawn to what our consciousness (an energy field) is creating.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And the fifth \u2026\nEverything changes. This has never been more obvious then today: a world that\nwishes to grow, a people that are questioning and throwing away old beliefs.\nConscious evolution. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks HS for bringing\nme what I sought, as you always do. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last few days I have been taking my \u2018thoughts and insights\u2019 from my journal documents to post here on the blog. As I finished posting the June post I saw in the related posts \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/triciabatessmith.com\/index.php\/2014\/08\/25\/aug-24-14\/\">Sunday 8-24-14 Another side of the Mountain<\/a>\u201d listed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I thought I would enjoy a \u2018blast from my past\u2019\nand re-visit a blog post about analogy of Mt. Truth. It was very interesting\nbecause this post also referred to Bashar\u2019s Law\u2019s of Creation, but there\nwere only 4. The one that was missing was the one about time, <em>\u201cEverything is here and Now\u201d<\/em>. I would\nlove to know what changed in Bashar\u2019s teaching between 2014 and 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Therefore, beloved HS I am asking for this to be brought to my awareness<\/em>. _\/\\_<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the last couple of weeks I have been taking notice of my\nown \u2018Universal Truths\u2019 that I bring into mind as mantra\u2019s when I am trying to\nunderstand something. The one I use most in these times of obvious duality is \u201cthere\nis good and bad in everything\u201d. So the other day I took notice that this was\nnot in the list of the 5. I resolved this to myself by saying it falls under \u2018what\nis in one is in the Whole\u2019 but the actual Law says \u201c<em>The one is the All, the all are the One\u201d.<\/em> Is there good and bad in\nSource, Creator, God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I noticed recently that on the daily reflections from Father\nRichard Rohr that he uses \u201cGreat Love\u201d in the prayers posted. I have been\ntrying to use this as well as an option from God (gray bearded man of my past),\nLord (Jesus specifically for me), Source or Creator (more intellectual than\nheart felt for me). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great Love should give the impression of only the good but instead it has brought me understanding from another phrase that Fr. Rohr always uses: order, disorder, re-order. I understand that these are all processes of creation, sanctioned by All That Is, the Great Love. Good or bad is a perspective. As a human on this lovely planet, thoughts of disorder seem bad. My perspective is if Gaia were to start moving things around, to shake off the crud of current society, I would find this bad for me, my family, and the places and things I love. Good and bad go away at the level of the Creator who is Great Love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is my wish for you the reader to take away from\nthis? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a pretty good blog post (my perception). It provides Universal Truths. (Wow! Big stuff!) It makes references to great teachers who have brought to me such wonderful insights and lessons. But most I hope that you, Reader, will take away something from my process of reflecting on these thoughts and allowing inspiration and my guides to lead me to major understanding \u2013 the big \u201cA-ha\u2019s\u201d of my human live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much Love. &lt;3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namaste\u2019. &nbsp;_\/\\_<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cLive as if you were to die\ntomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.\u201d ~ Mahatma Gandhi<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Sunday! This post is my continuing a post I began on July 26th.
