This realization is that the "spiritual path" does not exist.  It is not an accurate metaphor for what we are doing in life.  A "spiritual path" implies walking a path, from point A to point B and so on.  The concept of walking a path implies leaving point A in order to get to point B and this is not how is works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spirituality is more like a garden.  We plant the seeds and then it grows into our vision of the future.  When planting a garden, the intention is LIFE and GROWTH, not necessarily moving from one place to the other.  A garden stays put, but grows to massive heights.  This growth in turn benefits the entire earth by supplying clean air, fruits and vegetables as well as the beauty of flowers, trees and bushes.  A garden provides food and shelter for animals and insects.  Plus, a garden that is loved will also protect it's mother... the one who gave birth to the vision... it's creator, the same way God loves and protects us humans.  A garden is a piece of eternity, our baby, as we are for God.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, walking a spiritual path might not be the best way to explain spiritual awareness and enlightenment, perhaps we should use the metaphor of planting a "spiritual garden" instead.  And this spiritual garden is one thing that CAN and WILL manifest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-84256109718674805?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/84256109718674805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=84256109718674805' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/84256109718674805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/84256109718674805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-metaphor-for-spirituality.html' title='A New Metaphor for Spirituality'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-5477731084154820499</id><published>2009-04-30T05:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T05:57:45.605-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Deep, Dark Secrets</title><content type='html'>Do you ever feel like the world is just one big, "No!"?  Do you ever feel like there is no one out there who wants you to succeed?  &lt;br /&gt;Well, I uncovered a deep, dark secret about myself this past week.  It is humiliating and has been a source of shame for years.  What is this secret?  It is the fact that I got a student loan when I was 18 to go to college and have never been able to pay it off.  Not only that, I haven't been able to put a dent into it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To some people, this might not be a big deal, but to me it has been horrible.  It has been something I have tried to hide because I am ashamed that I have been unable to understand money for most of my life.  This lack of understanding has impacted my self esteem, has made me feel weak, and has made me feel imperfect.  Imperfection scares the heck out of me because during my childhood, being imperfect equated to getting viciously psychologically attacked by my over-achieving father about what a loser I am.  (Granted, he never paid for my college education and has never offered to help me pay off the debt, so putting myself through college could be considered a victory.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, childhood is over now.  If those patterns get repeated, then it's because of me not him.  So I must move one and get past this drain on my energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother has a law degree and has worked for the government for years and it took her two hours to figure out what happened with this student loan.  It turns out that when I was 18, the bank sent up the loan to never get paid off.  They determined ahead of time what the interest would be for 10 years and then the majority of every payment I sent in went to pay this interest.  Well, what happens when you only pay interest on a loan?  When you only pay the interest on a loan, then the principle balance never gets touched and therefor never goes down.  When the principle never goes down, then the interest continues to build up and one is obligated to keep paying and paying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, I feel so stupid!  I wish I would have understood that when I first signed the papers!  But does anyone explain that to an 18 year old?  Or is that the point?  18 year olds are easy targets for credit cards and outrageous student loans.  So, now I feel like I will never get this thing paid off and it will haunt me and follow me the rest of my life... like being a slave.  The best thing I can do now is make sure it never happens to my kids and to work on expanding my mind so I can come up with some way of manifesting the money to buy my freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money only makes sense to those who are making up the rules.  This is why I talk about emotionally detaching from money and not losing our sense of God given perfection in this schizophrenic human world.  I let this student loan beat me up my whole life.  Now I just have to transform my sense of Self and remember my pristine origins as a powerful spiritual being and manifest myself out of this quagmire.  &lt;br /&gt;But I'm still angry about it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-5477731084154820499?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/5477731084154820499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=5477731084154820499' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5477731084154820499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5477731084154820499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/04/deep-dark-secrets.html' title='Deep, Dark Secrets'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-4309017681102220945</id><published>2009-04-25T08:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-25T08:31:18.927-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Credit Cards</title><content type='html'>I got a credit card bill yesterday that went from 0% interest to 22.99% interest.

It drives me nuts hearing that on the news.  Wouldn't it be more flattering to refer to us as "contributers" or perhaps "smart decision makers"?  But I don't think flattery is what the media or the corporations have in mind when it comes to the general public.  They only want to flatter us if it puts money in their pockets.  I think that we should pay attention to the fact that we get referred to as consumers.  It says a lot about how we are viewed by big institutions.  With all the misconceptions and flat out lies floating around the media today, this is one bit of truth we need to take seriously.  All we are to them is consumers, not humans.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-794330237872450685?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/794330237872450685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=794330237872450685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/794330237872450685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/794330237872450685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/04/just-my-opinion.html' title='Just My Opinion'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-8379405616984545343</id><published>2009-04-19T10:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-19T11:07:18.341-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Clear Thoughts Outside</title><content type='html'>I just finished reading book 6 of the Ringing Cedars of Russia and many thoughts and realizations are running through my head.&lt;br /&gt;The books are fantastic, the best series I have ever read, and yet it leaves a lot to consider about our world today.  How did we get here?  The books answers this clearly.  But what can I do in my day to day life to help my family get out of the illusion and secured in the space of reality?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I am feeling impatient with the world.  It's not easy to begin seeing through the illusions that surround us moment to moment.  If one more bill arrives in the mail, I'm going to scream.  It's all just a distraction from what is truly important: family and having uninterrupted time to think.  It seems like we're being pulled in a million directions.  It seems like there is so much outside of ourselves that cannot run without our constant attention.  The outside world seems to nag and pull at us like starving children.  Pay this bill now!  Call me back now!  Me me me!  Now now now!  Why do we put up with this?  It's maddening.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So I see through the chaos.  I see what is really going on.  We as a society seem to have allowed our energies to be pulled away from our home, away from our gardens, away from our children.  So, today I will be shutting off the computer and going outside with my kids to plant some seeds.  My kids are far too used to playing with plastic toys instead of interacting with things that have a soul.  Sure, I am to blame for this.  I was ignorant when they were little.  I was poor and living in a dead dimension.  Only now am I realizing how important it is to interact with living things.  Bills are not alive, so I don't need to expend an ounce of emotion on them.  People on the phone can figure things out for themselves.  I need to put my foot down and be a stand for my family.  We are going outside.  Perhaps you should too.  I will hear your thoughts better outside than through the phone anyway.  See you out there!&lt;br /&gt;Blessings,&lt;br /&gt;Stacey&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-8379405616984545343?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/8379405616984545343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=8379405616984545343' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/8379405616984545343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/8379405616984545343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/04/clear-thoughts-outside.html' title='Clear Thoughts Outside'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-5886510534211307313</id><published>2009-03-08T10:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-08T11:35:31.958-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012, Money and Freedom</title><content type='html'>Someone recently asked me if I thought the 2012 transformation will be scary.  Below is my response:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only fear in the 2012 thing is for the people who are not prepared for the transformation, which has already begun.  December 2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar (some researchers say it is actually 2013), but this does not mean the end of the world.  It is only the end of the 500 years of darkness and slavery that we have been experiencing for generations.  A disconnection from Mother Nature is akin to slavery since people no longer know how to live life without machines.  The 2012 transformation is an awakening of consciousness.  It is a remembering.  It is a return to the Universal Intelligence to which we all have access, not just the select few who seem to have control over all the world's resources.  We ALL have access to the Universal Intelligence and this access is through a connection with the earth.  We are remembering the ancient wisdom and returning to the Source.  Check out the Ringing Cedars Series, 9 books written by Vladimir Megre.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only fear is in the people who have always been afraid.  But for the people who are paying attention, detaching from the material world, and exploring their inner landscape, 2012 will be a time to rejoice.  On the outside, however, the world will be getting worse before it gets better.  We still have a roller coaster ride ahead of us.  I see the biggest issue now is getting out of financial debt (for everyone) and emotionally detaching from money.  I don't mean to stop using money, I simply mean to have NO more energy attached to it... no more worry, fear, power, excitement or any "emotion" attached to money.  We need to return money to its original form: a tool, no more, no less.  I see that people need to stop allowing money (or the lack of it) to dictate their self-esteem and personal value.  By doing this, we, as the human race, can re-direct out planet's energy towards giving life to everyone instead of the unhealthy and panicked pursuit of paper "wealth". &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And as far as getting out of debt, easier said than done, Right?  I see that we need to support each other in this process.  Not everyone is in debt because they were irresponsible.  A lot of it was due to ignorance and misunderstanding by the average, every day American.  There is a reason why advertising is a billion dollar industry... because it works!  When credit card companies and mortgage companies "advertise" that they have a good deal, "Just come on in and buy your new house today", they know what they're doing, but the average person does not always get it.  Congress just passed laws in December to better control the credit card companies deceptive treatment of their customers, such as raising interest rates for no reason and doubling fees when a payment is simply one day late.  Many people are in debt due to theft and manipulation.  This is one reason for the economy struggles today.&lt;br /&gt;When I say that we need to support each other, this could be to help your friends and family pay off debt, but it also means LETS START TALKING ABOUT MONEY.  I wrote about this in the blog below.  Thank you for your responses.  I love these conversations.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see these as exciting times.  The "pole shift" that many New Agers talk about is an internal one.  Our internal poles are shifting, from survival and external pursuits to self exploration and owning our power to connect with the Universal Intelligence without an intermediary.  God belongs to all of us, this realization is where our planet is quickly headed.  Time is speeding up, because we are finally getting all the information we need to break free and THRIVE.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-5886510534211307313?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/5886510534211307313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=5886510534211307313' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5886510534211307313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5886510534211307313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/03/2012-money-and-freedom.html' title='2012, Money and Freedom'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-9094488196580885965</id><published>2009-02-13T09:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-13T11:00:02.372-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thoughts about Money</title><content type='html'>It seems that some of people's stress about money might be the fact that no one is socially "allowed" to talk about it.  I am not "allowed" to come right out and say that all we need to save our house is $1,000 because some people seem "threatened" by this information.  I have realized that our society's fear of just talking about money is a huge part of the problem with our country's economy.  I literally think that people are scared that by talking about their money, that they will become vulnerable and exposed somehow.  Money itself is not a reflection of us, but how we deal with money is.  Perhaps we can help each other learn better ways of dealing with money if we could just talk with each other about why it is, or is not, working.   &lt;br /&gt;When our family business burnt down in 2007, several times a day, people sympathetically said, "If there is anything you need, just ask."  Well, I experimented with how people would react to the money conversation and I answered very honestly, "We need money to pay our bills now that we have no income for awhile," and people got soooo uncomfortable.  The next thing I knew, the conversation was suddenly over.  &lt;br /&gt;It made me realize: how many other people do I know who really need help but are too socially afraid to just say it?  What is wrong with needing help?  Would our entire country be in better condition financially right now if people would just get over this fear and start talking about what is going on with our money?!?!  I think that this secrecy about finances works in favor of those who are trying to control the masses.  If no one is talking, face to face, about our money, then how are we going to expose the lies on a larger scale?  If we as a people don't talk, they won't either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a light-worker, I have never enjoyed secrecy or things hidden in shadows.  It must be from what I experienced as a kid, but it does get under my skin when so many people are walking around pretending that everything is hunky-dory.  The reason why our government is the way it is is because every day average people are they way they are.  The macrocosm reflects the microcosm.  It's okay to need help.  It's okay to ask for help.  But why the secrecy?  Can't we just talk about it?  How can we help each other out of financial difficulties if we can't bring ourselves to be okay with the possibility of conversation?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-9094488196580885965?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/9094488196580885965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=9094488196580885965' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/9094488196580885965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/9094488196580885965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2009/02/thoughts-about-money.html' title='Thoughts about Money'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-3332307360833051713</id><published>2008-11-29T19:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T19:12:14.864-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Evolution</title><content type='html'>It's interesting how in nature, animals stampeed when they are frightened and their lives are in danger.

I’m not a psychic, or some big time spiritual guru with a beach house in Malibu and a fat bank account telling people that the secret to happiness lies within.  But one thing I do know for sure, is that happiness lies within.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The secrets to money escape me.  I don’t have fame, nor do I desire it.  In fact, I have been given opportunities to become a big time spiritual guru with my face on billboards and a massive following of students, but I turned it down.  It didn’t feel right to me.  I don’t get the concept of advertising enlightenment.    I guess the lour of a mass market has been saved for someone else; someone, perhaps, behind red door number two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As I sit on my tiny front porch in the sunshine, I admire God’s work.  The clouds are amazing.  The shadows of bare aspen trees are long across the front yard as the autumn sun sets early.  The cool breeze moves the neighbor’s wind chimes to singing for everyone with attentive ears and a distant dog barking just needs a friend, so I don’t mind the sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sitting here I am moved to know Myself.  Life tires me.  I feel like I am a raw nerve simply re-acting to being hit.  The problem is that I seem to get hit often, day in and day out.  The hitting never stops.  I see it in everyone.   We are simply highly sensitive nerve endings re-acting to whatever pain comes our way.  It might be a bounced paycheck or a sick child, or even the death of someone we love.  And I wonder, how do we stop this?  Or can we stop it?  Are we meant to?  I just know for sure that I want to be larger than life, but I want to do it on my terms.  I don’t want to seek fame or the title of spiritual teacher because of some outside stimulus or because of someone else thought it would be a great way for him or her to get rich off me, I want to be bigger than life for myself, because when the day comes that I face God, I want to be able to stand proud and say with confidence, “I did my best.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to live up to my potential and see what I can create from the inside.  I would like to approach life from myself instead of from the advice of others.  Is this too much to ask for?  I don’t know, yet, but I have called the opportunity into existence and I thought that writing about it would assist others in seeing themselves in the same light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; After diving into what I am NOT, I also take the opportunity to look at what I am.  I am keeping up with myself.  I am a part of all of this.  I am me and I am you.  My journey is everyone’s journey, I’m simply the one who happens to be writing it down in this moment of Now.  Is this what we call a spiritual Guru?  Perhaps.  You tell me.  I’m just taking a lazy Wednesday afternoon to write about my life and ponder the possibility of Me. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I wonder if you’re doing the same.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-1395606381209515590?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/1395606381209515590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=1395606381209515590' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/1395606381209515590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/1395606381209515590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-dont-have-all-answers-to-life.html' title=''/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-3585092866874860235</id><published>2008-11-05T12:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T12:48:07.447-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New President</title><content type='html'>Wow, there sure is a buzz today about the election of President Obama.  Not only is it all over the TV and internet, but I can feel it in the air.  There is an intensity rocking through everyone and through the Earth herself.  Lets all keep the thoughts of love and joy in our hearts and help build this momentum for transformation.  Sure, it may be scary for some people.  If transformation were easy, it would happen mush more often!  But it is what is needed right now.  The fearful cries of American becoming a socialist republic needs to be examined.  Why is it a bad thing to "spread the wealth" and help each other out?  Isn't this the central message for many of the world's religions?  I don't remember Jesus saying, "Yep, it's every man for himself, that's the right way to live!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest we all give this new possibility a try.  Too many people have felt unheard and unacknowledged for years.  It's time to live the knowing that we are All One.  "I Am That I Am" applies to EVERYONE. Lets all join in and spread the wealth of knowledge, of love, of listening, of compassion and of basic survival!  Millions of people are feeling hopeful right now, this is what the lightworkers have been working towards, it is what creates miracles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and Blessings,&lt;br /&gt;Stacey&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-3585092866874860235?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/3585092866874860235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=3585092866874860235' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/3585092866874860235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/3585092866874860235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-president.html' title='New President'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-5786940796695133344</id><published>2008-10-02T07:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-02T07:32:59.595-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Qualities of Birth and Creation</title><content type='html'>Birth can either be that of a physical baby or the birth of an idea, concept, vision or dream.   In many ways, they are all the same.  There is conception, gestation, nurturing, development, hard work, introspection, some pain and finally arrival.  Just now, I was taking a nice, hot, detoxing bath, and during this meditation, I focused on giving my body permission to flush out all toxins, old thoughts, ideas and belief systems.  I focused on ingesting light, love, nurturing and comfort.  Inside my awareness, I went in as deep as I could manage into my flesh, my muscles, bones, tendons, cells, subatomic structure and my soul.  It took a lot of concentration, fortunately I am very good at this from years of meditating.  The ego likes to get in there and interrupt the cleansing process by throwing in random thoughts and the “to do” list for the rest of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; After the process, when it was time to emerge from The Self and rejoin the outer human world, I found my consciousness bursting forth with the words, “I am healed!”  Suddenly, in my mind’s eye, I saw myself giving birth physically, which I have done twice, and my spirit guides and angels where with me.  They all passed along the information that at the very moment of birth, any kind of birth, the first thoughts and words expressed by the mother become the blessings and the blueprint for the offspring’s existence.  In other words, when a woman is giving birth, just as the baby emerges, her voice and intention become the energetic pattern of the baby’s life.  So, by the mother having this awareness during her delivery, as the last of the baby is birthed, the mother can call out, or whisper, “Love!” or “Peace” or “Love, ease and grace!” or “Divine Power” and so on.  Whatever it is in the mother’s soul to speak, she can speak it powerfully and intentionally as the One True Blessing onto the baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Who else is more qualified to bless a baby, an idea, a concept, a vision or a dream than the very creator herself?  Okay, men create too, the very creator himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Birth of anything is such a magical time and we tend to let the importance of it slip through our fingers simply because we are not paying attention.   This is not to make anyone wrong or bad, it is simply a look at our modern culture and the ancient knowledge that has been fading away.  Sure, technology can force a birth if need be, but the True Intention is something that comes from the heart and soul.  No technology can replace that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lets bless our creations.  It is Us who make them sacred.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-5786940796695133344?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/5786940796695133344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=5786940796695133344' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5786940796695133344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/5786940796695133344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/10/qualities-of-birth-and-creation.html' title='The Qualities of Birth and Creation'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-4087343797703993956</id><published>2008-09-29T10:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T11:31:30.176-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Getting Over Sickness</title><content type='html'>Today I am sharing an interesting realization about how amazing our human bodies work.  Firstly, I need to let you know that when I was a child, I was deaf until the age of two because of severe ear infections.  My parents did not know as much about nutrition as we do now, so they continued to give me my favorite drink, milk, in the attempt to help me feel better during tough and painful times.  Today I know that dairy is the worst thing to give a child with ear infections because it causes mucus in the sinuses and inner ear.  Dairy can make the problem much worse, but not everyone knows this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have learned tons about nutrition throughout my life and I have learned even more about energy and how the human body works, though I do not consider myself an expert, yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was out riding my bike last week, one of my favorite ways to relax and get some exercise, when I spontaneously noticed something important about our human bodies.  I was peaceful, calm and enjoying the immensely beautiful fall in the mountains when I noticed tension in my muscles.  Checking in with my body, I noticed for the first time that I was holding my tongue tightly to the left.  Naturally, I relaxed it right away and felt a wave of release flow through my jaw, my neck, my head and my ears.  The wave even went down my back and into my legs.  Wow!  I had no idea that I had developed the pattern of holding my tongue to one side.  Instantly I knew that it was a main cause of my chronic tension and neck pain.  When I get stressed or overwhelmed, I tighten my tongue.  With this realization, a deep knowing rose up from my cells that the pattern of holding my tongue tightly to the left came from my birth.  I suddenly remembered the tube that is used to clean out a newborn's nose and throat forcing its way painfully into my mouth.  For a newborn, there is no defense against this kind of intrusion, therefor the baby is forced to endure the pain of a doctor or nurse's picking and prodding.  Our culture tells us this is necessary, but a healthy baby needs its mother right away, not a "safety" inspection.  So the tube caused pain in my mouth which caused my nervous system to respond by tightening my tongue, which became a chronic pattern for the rest of my life.  Oddly enough, as soon as I began meditating and focusing on relaxing my tongue more often, within 24 hours I got very sick.  My ears and nose plugged up to the point of barely being able to breath.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily I have enough experience in this to know that what happened is that the "cold" surfaced because it has been laying dormant in my cells since I was a kid.  I was given so many drugs as a child that the illness never got processed out of my body, it just got suppressed.  This is one problem with drugs, it suppresses the illness, it does not "heal" the illness.  The body is what heals the illness.  Today, I am not taking any drugs for my cold and congestion because I want it to run its course and detox all the way out.  It has been a struggle staying sick, but I have been drinking lots of water, taking salt baths, taking herbs and vitamins and mentally giving my body permission to "let go". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also been having spontaneous body memories of my ear infections and the pain it caused.  I have been craving milk.  Of course, I have not had any dairy because, like I said, I am allowing the illness room to move all the way out and I don't want to stuff myself up with more mucus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have wondered if the tube was one thing that caused my ear infections in the first place.  It makes me wonder about what else might have happened when I was born that could have caused more problems than it helped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, every thought, word and deed in our lives generates consequences.  These consequences are not meant to be labeled as good or bad, right or wrong.  They just are what they are.  As we evolve as a human species, I hope we begin to discover more and more about healthy births, healthy "healing" habits (lets cut down on the drug consumption), nutrition and living with awareness.  I would love to hear what you have to say.  Feel free to respond or leave a comment.  Remember, I am not a professional doctor or nurse.  Everything written here comes from my perceptions about life.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-Stacey&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-4087343797703993956?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/4087343797703993956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=4087343797703993956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4087343797703993956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4087343797703993956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/09/getting-over-sickness.html' title='Getting Over Sickness'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-2108166955238766049</id><published>2008-09-23T11:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T12:00:27.995-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Resistance, Humor and Trust</title><content type='html'>There is no reason to resist.  We have many excuses as to why we resist Spirit, yet none of them matter in the end.  We either allow and flow or we fight against.  I saw a funny saying on a gift card the other day that read, "Only dead fish go with the flow."  I laughed out loud in the store.  I love the humor of Spirit.  We don't need to take everything so seriously.  Human beings are remarkable funny creatures.  We struggle, we fight, we resist, we complain and where does this get us?  Stuck.  Life is going on all around us.  It is the Great River flowing whether we agree to it or not.  We tend to get stuck in our minds and "think" we have control over every minute of our lives, yet this is an illusion.  We "create" our lives, not control it.  What parent out there gets to have 100% control over his or her kids?  Sure, people attempt to control their kids, but the kids don't like it and in the end, the kids disconnect and go to where they are loved.  I think we resist the flow of life because deep down we are still not sure if there is LOVE out there or if this all is some big cosmic joke being played on us.  Are we just an E.T. experiment and running around Earth like lab rats?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I see is that it all comes down to trust.  When we know, without a doubt, that we are somehow loved and protected, never punished or condemned, then we can open up and spread our wings.  Then we can CREATE.  And then we can laugh.  Despite what popular religions teach, God is not judging us.  He/She is not watching every move we make and determining what move is good and what move is bad.  God is simply "being".  God is hanging out!  God is waiting to hear from us and see what we are manifesting.  God is listening.  God is experiencing what we each are experiencing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I sound like I'm preaching.  Sorry.  But I see the fear in people every day.  People are not sure if love is real.  They are not sure if it is okay to laugh and enjoy life.  I see the insecurities deep inside their bodies.  I see the constant questions in people's minds.  And all I want to say is, "Yes, it's okay to create, it's okay to dream, it's okay to laugh and it's okay to be you.  That is all God ever wanted...is you to be you."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-2108166955238766049?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/2108166955238766049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=2108166955238766049' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/2108166955238766049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/2108166955238766049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/09/resistance-humor-and-trust.html' title='Resistance, Humor and Trust'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-719412913683680166</id><published>2008-09-15T08:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T13:30:48.322-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Message From Quan Yin</title><content type='html'>Last night I was talking with Quan Yin about love.  I was expressing my frustration about feeling like I don’t have an impact on this world and that no matter how much love I feel, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference for people.&lt;br /&gt; Quan Yin’s soft energy entered my mind and body powerfully.  I saw pink in my head and heard her say, “There is a difference between feeling love and experiencing love as a force in your life.  Love is a force, an impact; a force to be reckoned with.  Love is a “thing” and a power that transforms anything, like doubt and fear.  Are you ready to know love as a force to be reckoned with?”&lt;br /&gt; I said Yes.&lt;br /&gt; “Okay,” She responded.  Then I felt a stirring in my heart.  Not the energy center or my heart chakra, but my physical heart.  I felt it stirring and changing.  In my mind’s eye, I could see the cells in my heart joining together, unifying, it was physical matter joining together.  I understood then that Love is not a concept, it is a physical happening, an event that takes on mass.  Love is the very action of transformation itself on all levels.&lt;br /&gt; I don’t know what is going to happen, but the message from Quan Yin was clear as a bell.  I thought you’d like to hear about it.  If you feel inspired, and you feel ready to know Love as a force to be reckoned with, let Quan Yin know (or any Goddess energy).  You may not get an immediate response, but your prayers will be put into motion.&lt;br /&gt; Please let me know what happens for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.theangelwhisperer.biz&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-719412913683680166?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/719412913683680166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=719412913683680166' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/719412913683680166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/719412913683680166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/09/message-from-quan-yin.html' title='Message From Quan Yin'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-4483387808738777212</id><published>2008-09-14T09:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T09:11:15.181-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Freedom!</title><content type='html'>Freedom!  We hear it everywhere.  We all want it.  We say we want other people to have it.  We go to war for it, supposedly.  Advertisements and governments promise it.  But what is it, really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Responsibility!  A lot of people have it.  Not everyone wants it.  Some people are terrified of it.  We don’t want to give it away because some of us associate it with control.  Advertisements and governments are afraid to use the word.  So what is it, really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It’s kind of funny if you ask me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The great illusion.  People make millions on this illusion.  Freedom is good, responsibility is bad.  Freedom makes us sexy; responsibility is the homely housewife in silent misery diligently raising 5 kids.  &lt;br /&gt;Men, buy this new car and the women will want you.  Women, use this shaver and the other women will be jealous of your suddenly fit, tan and sexy legs.  Either way, give away your money and you can have whatever you want!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Freedom is romantic, wild and attractive; responsibility is too much work!&lt;br /&gt; Lets try a real ad:  Freedom, It’s a state of being.  Responsibility, it’s how you get what you truly want.   Freedom comes from within.  Responsibility is the access point.  No one else can give this to you and no one can fully take it away.  &lt;br /&gt; Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Freedom is living from spirit.  Responsibility is standing strong, being empowered and not taking any crap from your own ego.  We are all eternal beings.  We cannot be hurt and we cannot be damaged.  Even though our ego tells us we can.  Ego is the great, dramatic actor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note to self:  Stacey, get a spiritual backbone!  Stop catering to your emotional upset!  Stop being hurt.  Stop being sad and depressed and feeling powerless and incapable!  Be free from your own emotional turmoil, it’s bogging you down and making you feel stupid.  Stop giving in to your self defeat!  Stop pretending like you can be damaged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are eternal beings.&lt;br /&gt;We are loving beings.&lt;br /&gt;We are creative beings.&lt;br /&gt;We are free, but first we must remember it.  &lt;br /&gt;Be free from drama.  Be free from upset.  Get over it!  &lt;br /&gt;Be free from yourself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-4483387808738777212?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/4483387808738777212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=4483387808738777212' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4483387808738777212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4483387808738777212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/09/freedom.html' title='Freedom!'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-1183788687099601567</id><published>2008-09-12T13:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-13T06:33:30.895-07:00</updated><title type='text'>God Asked Us To Participate</title><content type='html'>Have you ever seen those old black and white photos of the Native Americans?  The ones in which the native people have depth in their eyes and an almost mystical wisdom in their sun-drenched faces?  In case you have never seen photos like this, Google photographer Edward S. Curtis.  There are other photographers who have captured the majesty of the world’s native cultures, but Curtis is a good place to start.  &lt;br /&gt;I often wonder why these old photos show such power in the faces of the native peoples and I rarely see this kind of power in people today.  Where has that soul gone?  Have we lost it in MacDonalds?  Have we killed too many buffalo?  Make-up can’t create that kind of authenticity.  Well, I have strived to discover this depth within myself, and I feel that I have found a gold mine as far as opportunities to rekindle this power within.  Sure, I have a long way to go and I do not call myself an expert, but I have learned.   I have realized that my hard work and otherworldly experiences have contributed the truth to my words.  I am worth listening to.  I do know of which I speak and when I don’t know the answer, I have no problem saying so.  I will not hide my intentions and I show my respect for you by presenting clear, unmistakable honesty.  I don’t ever want someone to have to strain and “guess” at my meaning underneath garbled language.&lt;br /&gt;I have come across so many people who want the depth and the wisdom present in the ancient faces of the beautiful native people, yet I rarely find someone who is willing to do what it takes to get it.  How did we get so lazy?  Many today seem to want the quick fix answers and the instant gratification.  “Show me what I need to know so that I can teach it to others and look good in their eyes!”  Or, “Just tell me what I need to know so I can write a book about it and make millions.”  But, what we see and admire in those ancient faces is a life time commitment to God (Great Spirit), to courage, to a thriving community and to respecting all of life.  We see substance.  There is thousands generations of knowledge and wisdom passed down about true medicine, power, birth, integrity and harmony with nature.  And it’s being forgotten!  &lt;br /&gt;The Native people lived their spirituality.  They didn’t just set is aside for when it’s convenient.  They knew, without a doubt, the power of their soul because they were willing to go the distance.  They listened to God instead of talking too much.   They pushed their bodies out of fat and laziness and learned what the body is truly capable of.  And, most importantly, they didn’t learn this from reading books, they got it from living life!  What are the priorities in your life?  Does your soul make the decisions?  Are you living your purpose and your vision?  If the answer is No, then why not?  Or do you follow the voice in your head that claims to be your soul, but it really your ego in disguise?  I bet people are wondering, “What’s the difference?”  Well, the answer is out there.  I know the answer.  But it takes a life-time commitment to understanding this answer and it’s not going to happen on the couch and it won’t come out of the TV (not even the Oprah show) and it won’t get into the core of your being from reading Ekhart Tolle’s A New Earth.  The answer only comes from within.  How do you reach within for the answers?  Get out of your head, get out of your comfort zone and live your life.  There is more going on out there than you realize, and God has asked us to participate.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-1183788687099601567?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/1183788687099601567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=1183788687099601567' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/1183788687099601567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/1183788687099601567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/09/god-asked-us-to-participate.html' title='God Asked Us To Participate'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-1805660075633326355</id><published>2008-08-04T21:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-04T21:32:02.657-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Preparation for Evolution</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;

   Steve Irwin passed in September of 2006.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It was days before I was scheduled to do a ceremony with my medicine man in Arizona.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;During this ceremony, I prayed heavily for Steve and for the beautiful family he left behind.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I think it was these prayers that caused his spirit to come and communicate with me for weeks afterwards, even in my dreams.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He told me that he had a message for his family and that he wanted to let them know he was great and having a wonderful experience.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;“Crikey, this place is amazing!”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But I had no way to reach his widow, Terry.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Therefore, his message was never delivered from me.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Perhaps someone else has since been able to get through to her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;Enthusiastically, Steve told me that he, too, left out of choice, though it seemed sudden to us.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This was a spiritual choice, not a mental/human choice.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He said that he was meant to work as an ambassador of sorts and assist other people who were crossing over into the spirit world, especially people who had important roles in preserving the health of the planet and assisting the evolution of humans through the animal kingdom.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He told me that his work could not continue while he remained in his human form and that he was never meant to live a long life as Steve Irwin.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;Steve was happy in spirit, yet expressed a concern for his family, especially his young daughter Bindy Sue (At the time, I did not know her middle name.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Since then, I have found out that the information is accurate).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He said that she seems to be handling things ok for now, but that she is, in fact, in a lot of pain and once she is a teenager, he’s concerned that her pain might boil over and cause discord and upset within the family as a whole.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He simply wanted her, and everyone, to know he is ok and loving his new role as a “spirit guide” for many many spirits around the earth and beyond.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He is working heavily with his guides and angels and would like his earthly family to let him go.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They are not without him.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He is right there, with them always, and he does hear what they say to him.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He will love them forever and his powerful, and ancient, connection with Terry Irwin will continue.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He says, “I didn’t make a mistake marrying that one.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She’s brilliant.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She will always be a part of him and helped make his Who He Is today. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-7381199643748509720?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/7381199643748509720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=7381199643748509720' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/7381199643748509720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/7381199643748509720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/07/steve-irwin-crocodile-hunter.html' title='Steve Irwin: The Crocodile Hunter'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-2871570908822596226</id><published>2008-06-26T11:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T11:08:11.970-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Message About Heath Ledger</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I talked with Heath Ledger last night.  Now, I know what you’re thinking; didn’t he pass away 6 months ago?  Well, yes, he did.  It happened like this:  I saw an ad for the new Batman movie yesterday and was thinking about what a tragedy it was that he died.  Some people say he killed himself and others say it was a drug overdose.  I don’t keep up on news like that so I don’t really know what happened.  But his soul must have sensed me thinking about him strongly because last night he came to tell me that he did not commit suicide.  He said that he did die of a drug overdose, but it was not intentional from the standpoint of human understanding, but from the intentions of his soul, he did choose to leave at that time.  He felt his life was complete and that he needed to move on to bigger and better adventures (these are my words, not his).  He said, “The human world is so fussy and confusing.  It is much calmer here.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;He said that his role in the Batman movie was his greatest artistic accomplishment and that it marked the end of his time on Earth.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He chose to move on to create more and to self-realize on a new and varying levels.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When I asked him about leaving his young daughter, Matilda, he spoke firmly, “I am with her always.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Always.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She can feel me and she knows I’m there.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I asked, “Can she see you?”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He answered, “I said she can &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;feel &lt;/span&gt;me.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Then I asked Heath whether or not a person retains his or her individual consciousness after death.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He said, “No.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Then he went on to explain that he maintains his memories of life as Heath Ledger, but that it is not &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; of him anymore.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He said that his memories are intact, but his consciousness has now expanded to include every part of him, and of God, not just the small part that we knew as a the human actor on Earth.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He said that many more opportunities are open for him where he is now and that that is what he wanted.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Even when he was Heath Ledger, he always wanted something more, he always wanted to create bigger and better, to express himself and create on a larger scale than human form could provide for him.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So, he did not commit suicide, but he did leave by choice, and Matilda will grow up to be very much like he was, only more calm and beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-2871570908822596226?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/2871570908822596226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=2871570908822596226' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/2871570908822596226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/2871570908822596226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/06/message-about-heath-ledger.html' title='Message About Heath Ledger'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-4053544814716625827</id><published>2008-06-04T15:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T15:42:34.873-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The World Is Ok</title><content type='html'>There is so much concern lately that our food is full of toxins, that our water is not clean enough to drink, that our American public schools are from the dark ages, that politicians don't care about the masses, that we don't have health care in America, that aliens are landing and taking over, that the rich get richer and the poor will be shackled... and so on.&lt;br /&gt;The messages I keep getting from my guides is that things will be ok.  They tell me to pray every day and stay in the space of love, health, abundance and compassion.  They say to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Be&lt;/span&gt; with people's pain instead of trying to fix or change it.  We are all going through a transformation process.  It requires us to speak out and create the world in which we wish to live.  It is time to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;be&lt;/span&gt; what we want from other people.  Community is about looking within and seeing what each of us has to give, it is not about seeing what we can &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;get&lt;/span&gt; from the community.  There is a bright future here, but we all must pay attention.  The awakening is happening, and it is happening quickly.  Once people look around and realize how the world has been all this time, there will be a period of grieving and a sense of loss.  Allow these emotions to process through and then let them go.  Focus on what you want to create.  We are collectively losing our illusions, the reality underneath is not always pretty, but we can still plant flowers in the garden once we pull out the weeds.  Live into possibility.&lt;br /&gt;I am the possibility of Health, Serenity and Evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings Fellow Travelers,&lt;br /&gt;Stacey&lt;br /&gt;www.theangelwhisperer.biz&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-4053544814716625827?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/4053544814716625827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=4053544814716625827' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4053544814716625827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4053544814716625827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2008/06/world-is-ok.html' title='The World Is Ok'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-8826868698845508472</id><published>2008-04-06T07:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-06T07:19:35.921-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lets Talk About Star Beings...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;I know it can be tough for some people to believe that there are star beings (E.T.s) on this planet, but like many things, whether you believe it or not, it’s happening.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;For years I have been aware of them, from seeing them walking around in human form to seeing the space ships in the sky.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;These days, I see the ships almost every day.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;These beings are here to help.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They are here to as an answer to the prayers humans have been thinking and speaking for years.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They are here to assist the human race in its evolution into a more humanitarian and loving society.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Also, for yeas, I have been seeking more information about the details of what is going on.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Some people say that there are E.T.s on this planet with the intent to cause chaos and harm to the human race (like the reptilian race) while others say that there are no malevolent star beings.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Author Stephen Greer, MD says, in his books, that the only star beings allowed near our planet these days are the loving benevolent ones.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As far as my beliefs, I go with the information that is given to me by my spirit guides and angels, and that information is finally coming through.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I will be sharing this information on this blog site.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It will be written for people who are already into the kind of information.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;To save time, I will &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; be writing at a basic level, but questions are welcome.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Last night I was told that due to the social unrest and the environmental changes on the earth right now, there is truth to the theories that we are to undergo a mass exoduses from this planet towards the end of summer 2008.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Humans will be taken onto the ships that are hovering around the atmosphere.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is possible that this huge transformation will not be noticed right away since holograms will be in place to create a sense that we are still on earth and that everything is okay.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The biggest difference will be that we will experience our day-to-day lives going very smoothly and manifestations occurring almost instantly.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I was told that we will be placed on the ships that belong to beings who match our individual organic and spiritual make-up.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Meaning: we will go with our star families; we will be with like-minded people and with the communities that most powerfully resonate with us.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So, do not worry about being separated from those you love, as long as they resonate with you, they will go wherever you go!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There will be extraordinary recognition of like-minded people between now and then.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There will be memories awakened of the planets from which we originated.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our cellular memories will awaken to Who We Are and why we came to earth in the first place.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We will begin to remember!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is already happening to many of us, but perhaps we still can’t put our finger on what exactly is going on.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our star families are contacting us in our dreams and some of us are awaking up in the morning with a sense of wonder, or a sense of, “I don’t belong here!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This doesn’t feel right.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Where am I?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;This transformation is happening swiftly and calmly.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our star families know what they are doing and they know whom to contact.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Another person who writes about this is Lyara on &lt;a href="http://www.operationterra.com/"&gt;www.operationterra.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have read her website for years, but was waiting to get my own information before I put much energy into it.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Also, check out &lt;a href="http://www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/"&gt;www.whatsuponplanetearth.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Also, there is the possibility that this mass exoduses will appear as death.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just be aware of the illusion.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Death is simply the movement from one state of existence to another.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There is no need to grieve too heavily, just know that something larger than the individual human mind is occurring and it is time to trust like we’ve never trusted before!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Keep your mind in the space of love.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;If you feel drawn to contact your star family through mediation, go for it, but don’t be surprise if it ends up bringing wonderful and evolutionary challenges into your life.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Like I said, I will continue writing about the information I get.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Please share your experiences or questions with me.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;May you walk in peace, beauty and awareness,&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; I have observed that the #1 misconception people have about angels is that they only talk to people who are perfect.  If we have problems or have made huge mistakes in life, then we see ourselves as not deserving of their attention.  The truth is that angels see us as perfect regardless of bad habits, addictions, anger or fear.  They want to talk to us; they want to be with us.  Have you ever loved someone so deeply, and for whatever reason you could not be with him/her?  Whether is be due to physical distance apart or because of a fight, misunderstandings, addictions and so on.  Well, the angels feel that way about us.  No matter what our imperfections are, they just want to love us and be a part of our lives.  So let them in.  They love your sense of humor.  They love reading books with you.  They love the movies you enjoy and they love the people you love.  Invite them to be a part of your day-to-day life.  They will communicate with you if you allow it.  They want to show you things and take you to new places.  They want to see your dreams come true and see you believe in yourself the same way you might feel about a child you adore.  They want to see you happy, yet understand when you are not.  They believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself.  Just consider it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Consider that someone loves you this much but can’t reach you until you give the OK.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Consider that they are right here, right now, listening to your thoughts and are ready to communicate.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just say, “Okay, I’m willing to listen.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Show me, now, who you are.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;They have already forgiven you for your seeming imperfections, so start talking with them.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It’s all good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-6125627565003297491?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/6125627565003297491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=6125627565003297491' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/6125627565003297491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/6125627565003297491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2007/10/consider-that-you-are-perfect.html' title='Consider That You Are Perfect'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-9001196878631740605</id><published>2007-08-03T16:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-03T16:56:41.898-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Existence</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;

own your money.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It does not own you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You do not own your land, your trees, or your dog or the river.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They, in turn, do not own you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You do not own gasoline or oil or water in Afganistan, Bolivia or Africa.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You do not own music or sound waves or information.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You do not own &lt;i&gt;you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;No one does.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You are simply physical matter put together with alignment and life force.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You do not own matter, alignment or life force.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;So what do you own?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Nothing.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;How can you exist with Nothing?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The answer is easy, you already do and you always have.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Everything else is illusion.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;No one owns anything.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So bring yourself forward, all the way, and step into the Divine Light that put you together, and breathe.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This is all that’s real: Your breath, your imagination, your creation, and your intentions.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What is it you want?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Don’t run to mommy and ask her to birth it for you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Create it yourself instead.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Birth yourself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Bring yourself here.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Liberate yourself from thinking that someone else does this for you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You will never own anything, so give all that you have.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;No one owns you, so speak freely.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And yet you are not the only one here, so breathe with everyone, together, in song.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Step into the Divine Light that made you and be that which made you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;From this place of no-thing, you can have, be, do, create and live &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt;-thing.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Claim your birth-right.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;What you own is your right to exist.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;-God&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Absorbing nutrients is hard for you, whether it be food, water, minerals, vitamins, love, attention or happiness.  Flowers absorb moisture when it rains.  They just take it in and absorb the nutrients.  You, on the other hand, resist it and push it away.  This has occurred most of your life so it has become a physical re-action.  The result is starvation; starvation of life force, of information, of connection, or simple nutrients and joy.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Anxiety rises up instead and competes for that space in your cells.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Instead of food passing through the cellular wall and providing what the cells need to be healthy and strong, anxiety pops up and blocks the process.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When this happens, you are now living off of a negative power source that ultimately causes depletion leading to compounded emotional issues.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You’re not allowing yourself to be fed.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is a physiological problem, one that most of you have.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It’s a science and a technology of the human condition at this time.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This is why it’s so hard for you to hear angels and guides talking, because you’ve lost your ability to listen, to receive and to absorb whatever is coming into you.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It doesn’t all come in through the mind, the body receives messages and can hear and can choose whether or not to listen too.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The body hears all that is going on around it, all that is moving within and through it.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Your&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;body can hear your mind as well.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So speak softly to it.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Be a gentle and loving mind.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Take care of this absorption problem instead of blowing anxiety into your blood stream.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Think gentle and loving thoughts as a way to absorb kindness.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Slow yourself down and detox your inner dialogue before ever detoxing the body.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;One comes before the other.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Detox your mind and the listening, on all levels, will follow.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Peace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-4541142733788569524?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/4541142733788569524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=4541142733788569524' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4541142733788569524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/4541142733788569524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2007/07/absorbtion.html' title='Absorbtion'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796989920210799690.post-7590139609332128460</id><published>2007-07-11T14:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-11T14:28:21.226-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Living Prayer</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Today the angels taught me about prayer. They said that I hold back too much on my prayers for fear of them coming true.  Why would I fear this?  Because true prayers bring about transformation.  They cause our lives to change, and the scenery around us can look differently than what we're used to.  A prayer spoken powerfully and clearly will manifest, sometimes right away or sometimes it may seem to take awhile.  The angels said to let go and to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;pray well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;.  So do not fear the changes that come, because the changes will be evolution.  Do not fear growing up, for nothing is lost, only matured.  They said that holding back creates blockages in the flow of our spiritual river.  Let it flow.  Let it grow and pray for life to create.  That is why we're here-to create, to elevate, to transform, to evolve, to experience, to move, to dance, to sing, to express and to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;Be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; prayer itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Until next time, travel well, dear friends,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Stacey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5796989920210799690-7590139609332128460?l=staceyjoslin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/feeds/7590139609332128460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5796989920210799690&amp;postID=7590139609332128460' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/7590139609332128460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5796989920210799690/posts/default/7590139609332128460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staceyjoslin.blogspot.com/2007/07/living-prayer.html' title='Living Prayer'/><author><name>Stacey Joslin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04968616991952714909</uri><email>joslinstacey@Yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05705191019513048362'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
