The program, the android and spirituality?

I believe for spirit encounters, in "haunted" houses, all one needs is a digital voice recorder, tape, etc and some time. I believe that the electronic devices prevent us from tapping into spirit. I believe it makes us reliant on devices.

Now I understand the need for this because some people can not believe what they think they know. I think it is importan to understand that all the information we get on these devices can be had from true mediumship. With that being said....

For my son, the tangible is needed to build the connection. So I pulled out this device called Ghost Speaker from www.krugism.com. It is supposed to work like an Ovilus, for any of those who watch SyFy or Travel channel ghost shows. I have turned it on in my house a hundred times and it doesn't work, not a single word, or phrase. Well, this time, it was different.

As we were walking by flowers at the Harriet Beecher Stowe home Friday evening Dori wondered if she could get some of those pink flowers, at which point the phone says flowers. After this moment the phone did not stop going off. Talking about disease and death. We later found out about the disease and death that happened in the family. The word creature seemed random until we heard that her husband thought he saw creatures and balls of light. I experienced several orbs with my own eyes.

There are a hundred different phrases that created correlation. For example we walked in the dining room and the tour guide said, "sorry we do not have dinner prepared," at which point the machine said beef. Yes beef, it's what's for dinner. LOL

That being said as yet another example, here is the best thing to date. As we were leaving I kept it running. To which it made a few responses about a show on the television and other various topics. Anyway, so I left it running, as we were walking to the car the item said follow, I was like, "Okay we are being followed home." This I thought was odd. Then as Brandon went to get in the car he hit his head on the light at which point it immediately responded, "Fool". It gave us advice on spirituality, talking about threading together the two worlds between the veil. It actually used those words, thread and veil.

Whom I can only guess was Harriet Beecher Stowe, though we never received confirmation other than my belief, feeling and the message I got from her, was brilliant in the fact that she even called my son out on not wearing clean underwear and other various random references to our day.

My final evaluation of this item. I think it is a USELESS TOOL TO people who are not already connected to spirit in a much deeper level. Just believing does not bring about this connection. It even talked about bedroom, bouncing and ball to which we found out that is exactly what my daughter was doing at that time. Bouncing on the ball in her room. Oh and the other thing, most interesting of course, is the fact that she made reference to John, a police officer and laborer, which my husbands Uncle was. She made the comment that we should go by one day for breakfast. I truly believe that we will be making a day time trip to visit the Harriet Beecher Stowe house with the ovilus on again. She said we can contact her through the telephone. I may very well try and do that.

So can these things work, sure, but it requires more than just believing or just wanting to "prove" their are spirits. You need to want to have a real conversation with them and the desire to meet them and learn about them. Some references are vague, like the fact she mentioned Wren twice. Once I researched the spiritual significance, it was totally different.

The other thing is that their is some randomization and that can be caused because several spirits are around us all the time trying to get messages out to us. She even told us to follow Jesus, if that wasn't a significant message, I do not know what was.

Spirituality and anger

I fight with Anger. I constantly fight with ANGER. It truly is my arch nemesis. I don't know why I am so angry or why I blow up at little things sometimes. I believe it stems from childhood, I was always the quiet one, I did what people told me to do, but I also, in someways, got things I wanted. Because I was so quiet, if I wanted something, it would be provided, but that was all material, NEVER emotional.

I still expect if I ask someone to get a pair of pants on my daughter they should know where they are and other locations to look, not just stop. I mean if I can not find jeans for my daughter I check her changing table, every drawer, so yesterday I snapped at my husband, calling him names. Last night I yelled at my son.

I wonder why or where this built up anger comes from. I know some people would say that I need to talk about things that are bothering me but I do. I am not silent by any means. So where then?

A lot of my anger comes from frustration with the universe. With God, we all get angry at God don't we. He is supposed to help us resolve our problems. I have been waiting for one of us to get a job, for one of us to find a nitch, for one of us.... We try, so I think, "I am a good person why?" Anger that things are not better, I want them better. However, I am concentrating on the material and the physical with this anger. Anger is purely ego centered. "Why me?" or even "Why NOT me!"

As I become an ordained minister, I think to myself, what goal am I trying to achieve? I am trying to grow myself spiritually, keep my connection strong to Jesus and God. The holy spirit to guide me through life, to hear the words of my relatives who have passed. To help me make the right decisions, whatever they might be. I just simply need to refocus. REFOCUS and stop worrying about the small things, like if my son stays up past his bed time, he will suffer in the morning from that decision, let him learn a little what consequences he faces. I do not need to yell. If my husband can not find the jeans for my daughter I do not need to yell, I simply need to show him where they are.

Why we have anger is ego centered and the best of us feel it at times and are engulfed with it. We eat it up inside of us and let it destroy our souls, our being. Anger serves no purpose. I am working very hard on reducing my angry outbreaks. All of us are trying to fight ego. All of us struggle with these emotions that are attached to all that happens on earth. It is our job to grow and learn. Trying so hard to adapt to this earthly world.

Can I really write a spiritual blog with out talking about death

Osama Bin Laden is a topic all over the place today.
Someone asked me, "what do you think about it?"
What do I think about it?
What DO I think about it?
Good question....

1. Initially I was indifferent.
2. Then I was joyful.
3. Then I was fearful of retaliation.
4. Then I was remorseful that I was joyful for a moment at the cost of someones life.
5. Then I was elated that perhaps he will have a chance to learn new lessons and come back around a better human being.
6. Then I was angry at myself for making a judgement call in regards to what kind of human being he was at all.
7. I realized that every emotion I was having was ego driven.
8. I felt compassion.

Compassion for the family of Bin Laden who did not see him as a terrorist but a father, a friend, a person they trusted and looked up to. No matter how twisted we think someone is, there is always someone that loves them. I felt compassion for all those victims of 9/11 and the family they left behind. I felt compassion for those who had to hunt him down and kill him and the time they will be away from their family and them. I had compassion for all the military that are serving and all the families who are missing a loved military member, and compassion for all those who have already died serving our country and all the members of their families they left behind. I FELT AN OVERWHELMING amount of COMPASSION.

I sat and thought long and hard and felt guilt for all the other feelings I had, and then I felt compassion for myself. I am in the process of a spiritual journey and just like any other delicate, newly blooming garden, when it rains hard with sadness and anger all around, sometimes the blossom becomes dirty and weak, but once the sun (love, compassion) comes out we grow stronger and even more tolerant.

I can not place judgement on Bin Laden. He did not kill people HIMSELF. He was a mastermind who truly thought he was doing the right thing, just as America thinks killing Obama and Osama was the right thing. In the end we have no real proof. With hollywood stage make up anyone can look like Obama and/or Osama and truth is that life is what it is. I wish him compassion and understanding in his passing. I know he will be met at the gates of all those who died in his name, he will be made to face his wrongs and learn his lessons on the other side. Justice was not served in his death, growth and forgiveness (justice) will be served in his passing.

I know some may not agree with me, and that is okay. I do not want to start a debate over this, because I will not be swayed. In the end we say, "do unto others as you would have done unto you." We also say, "turn the other cheek." It is hard to justify killing, in the end our military believes they are doing the right thing and their military believes they are doing the right thing. In the end the only people we have to justify anything to is ourselves. We need to be comfortable with our decisions.

Remember, we create the world we live in. Change it to beauty, focus on the good and help those out that need help.
Donate more than your money when you can, donate love, compassion and understanding for everyone.

Love, Live, Laugh, and most of all LOVE SOME MORE.

After all, we are love.

The feeling that things are going to turn around.....

I keep getting the feeling that things will turn around for my family. Maybe because Mercury moved it's rear, but I am not sure of course.

Life hasn't been easy on me and I am sure it isn't peaches for anyone. Life is a challenge, it is what it is. The thing that gets me is how many people just go with the flow and then complain that their life sucks.

I am out there actively seeking ways to improve my life. I want to encourage others to do that, be it finding a new church, meeting new friends, or spending times finding themselves.

Find out what matters the most and chase that goal and dream. The only way life is what you want it to be is if you go after what you want and put in the work.

For goodness sakes, for the last time I DIDN'T DO IT!!!!

I laugh, I laugh a lot because the world is full of blame. Everyone wants to blame someone for the shortcomings they are dealing with.

Today I blamed Easter for making me eat a piece of my hollow chocolate Easter bunny. I mean lets face it, if there was no Easter than I would have this temptation. Well if I am blaming Easter than I am essentially blaming Jesus for being resurrected right? So if I am going to blame Easter, which blames Jesus, I am essentially than blaming God right? It is GOD's fault that life is bad, he sent Jesus here, and then, wait I can blame Christianity of creating the holiday and I can blame Palmer for making the chocolate bunny.

I believe one of our BIGGEST lessons here on earth is to stop blaming and stop asking, "why is this happening to me." Nothing is happening TO YOU, it is happening with in the same time, space and confines of your existence. No body is out to get you, but when you have that mentality you attract people that are not as good.

People die every day and if you believe bad things are going to happen in 3's guess what, they will. That being said, just simply trying to not believe by saying you have stopped believing is not going to change that. You have to internally find peace with that is NOT how it has to be.

I did NOT need to eat that chocolate bunnies head off. I chose to do that and therefore I am to blame. I am the one that has control over my thoughts. I have control over my crazy schedule, I have full control over everything, who is in my life, how I accept the passing of friends and family. I can be in control. I don't know why this subject keeps coming up but it does.

Also, side note, I mentioned teaching meditation to my Bariatric team and they were excited. I think, I think with my entire heart, that I want to teach inspirational classes too. Finding inner peace, but how, how does one do that.

It is pretty simple, accept that you will never be perfect on this earth. We have to do the best we can and we are all works in progress. WE are all learning lesson by lesson and there is no one that is better than.

LOVE YOU
How is your spiritual garden growing?

The Road Less Traveled

It seems to me lately, the more I watch the world, everyone wants to go the same way at the same time. I don't know that I get this concept at all. I have been on both roads, and I prefer the one less traveled.



Our world becomes cookie cutter perfect. We are told we have to go to some box for our education, then go to another box for our education, and then another box for some career that pays us in rectangles so that we can buy another box to live in and a box on wheels to drive and maybe put a box with water in our back yard for our kids.



We travel these rectangular roads to the cities or even in our home towns, there is this idea of square and rectangular movement in our society. This makes me want to scream a little. I feel like I am the MIME. I am constantly trying to get out of the box and off of the road that has been traveled so frequently.

I am sooo not making a point right now, much of this sounds like the ramblings of a woman who hates boxes. Truth is, I hate conformity, we all do this. The real person inside of you probably gets sick of boxes too.

So here are some thoughts, I think about this stuff all the time.
If I ever have money to build a house it will not be square or rectangle, maybe round, or something.... I will have to think about it. I want all the rooms to have some sort of arch or curve because I believe that the curve makes more sense naturally and for energy flows sake.

That being said, you do not have to get married, have children and own a home to be happy. That is secondary to the process of living. One should never follow the road that everyone tells them is the right one, follow the one that is the right one for you. Heck if you want to go to college, get a job, buy a house, have your kids because that is what is comfortable for you, the do it.

For me though, square feels like prison and that is why I HATE sitting around at my house.

Sad and Love

Today I was put in a position of thought, and this thought put me in a position of sadness. What does that mean, well, no matter how much I try to focus on the positive, sad sometimes sneaks in right under the surface. See I watch this dog for a friend and he has been pretty badly injured, she has had a stroke of bad luck with her job and doesn't have the money to help the dog. She is trying so hard to get people to take payments but no one will listen. It makes me very sad to think the dog was in pain. I give her credit for pushing forward and trying to get help for this dog. So this sad, this sad isn't MY sad per say. I do not own this dog, therefore my sad isn't pertaining to something I have brought into my life directly. Being a spiritual person as I am though I give LOVE to all and if something with in that realm of all is hurting, I feel sad. When people I love talk to me and they cry, I cry. Silly but true, I cry, I cry like a baby because they are crying, I love them therefore I feel sad with them. Love, if we give love freely than our heart and compassion is equally as HUGE. It runs freely and we can't help but feel sad for those that suffer, be it animal or human. With compassion and that feeling of love and sad we must learn not to let that sad take over our lives. We must feel in the moment and then move on, if it is not ours directly then we need to move forward. I have several friends going through a lot right now, I am going through a lot right now, I do NOT know many people who have it easy right now. Everyone seems to be dealing with changes and shifts in their lives, therefore we need to be more compassionate than ever. We need to not snap quickly or pass judgements on others lives or their choices. This is hard to do but true love and compassion means we learn to accept and embrace people fully, no matter how messed up they seem. So find a moment to be a compassionate, loving human being and know with that, sometimes you will feel others sadness. That is just the way the cookie crumbles. Just eat up those crumbs and move on. If we never know sadness we will not appreciate happiness. If we never know anger we would not appreciate peace. If we never know hatred we would not appreciate love. In the end, it's the ying and yang of life. My cat Fritz, (rest that kitty soul) would tell me, through his purring body that love is unconditional and if you are sad I will lay next to you until you feel happy. He would tell me that happiness is attainable for all if they feel loved. Happiness is attainable by all if they feel loved. So I love you and know that it is the truth. That I love all of humanity, I may not LIKE choices people make but I was taught to love your neighbor and do not pass judgement for that is not our place. If I don't like you, I don't have to hang with you but I will never stop sending love your way. Love you, love yourself, love your neighbor, and even when you no longer can stand someone, send love out to them, it will heal you and them. Celeste
