Empowering Mindset

frustration is empowering, for the struggle provides the means for growth. (paraphrasing Kurek Ashley)

Finding our Purpose

Its all Sean Rasmussen’s fault, bless his cotton socks..He threw me a curved, remarkedly on-target ball, and I have been juggling with it ever since.

You have read previously about me utilising my skills within the scenario of my son’s accident.  You hung onto every word with my post about maternal rights. These things were seemingly thrust upon me.. I  didn’t choose for my boy to be confronting his own creation of life.  I didn’t choose to be a midwife, either.. its a long story, but I was led there rather than sitting down and deciding that was my life work.  In hindsight it was more like Michelangelo finding and revealing the being within.

I have been learning to blog for the last couple of months.. how to even do it at all, let alone do a good job.  My mentors have been urging me to write down my goals, time schedules, to decide, to find my purpose. I have been agonizing with myself, and soul-searching, all this time.. can I do ‘good’ with this site for all of you.. can I assist you, inspire you, walk with you, strengthen you while you are walking your path?

This has been my dilemma since the last post..Forgive me for taking so long, and thank you for waiting for me.

Purpose-full good

All my life I have been led and guided.. some of it has been utterly blissful. Some of it have been events I really would not enjoy repeating.  Throughout it all, I have done my best with what I had, and what I knew.  And each step brought me new skills and opportunities and challenges which seemed to take me in  different directions.. until I took a step away, and realized that I was just looking at the different lanes of a freeway, and not different paths at all. So asking me to decide where the freeway is going, was for me a really big  issue..

I have lived at myriads of addresses, dealing with day to day variations.  I have addressed myself to varying occupations at times, depending on my circumstances, and done well enough in each of them while I believed in the reason for my work.. I was reared on a plethora of  victorian novels and much as I objected to the waste of potential, I seemed to have absorbed a fair bit of the concept of the old self-sacrifice bit. That is the part of me that  I am radically letting go now.

I’ve always wanted to live, and now I am intending to live even better  – by living really well. I love enjoying life.  Life and love and laughter,  family and friends and purpose. I am filling my home full of love, and worth and respect, trust and intimacy and awareness. I am loving and enjoying my family and friends. I love clean fresh air, clean pure water, good healthy life-giving soil. I love this unique planet that is our home.  I want everyone to be doing what they love to do, so that as they are doing it well and they are happy,  the  ‘ripples’ of their doings  are happy and good.

Choice of purpose

Which paradigm do you belong to?

• The ‘take’,  because you are not good enough to provide for yourself?

• Or  the ‘give’, so that you are happy to see your own life make a diference?

The prophecies about 2012, seem to me to be the choice point of human development.

• Destruction, division, death?
• Or Peace, construction and life.

We’d all better start knowing which choice we ourselves are making, and preparing ourselves for the path we aim to take.  Divide and conquor?  Unite and thrive?   Well now gee, do you need a minute to think?  Its not rocket science, you know.. Humanity is growing up, and as any adult.. we become responsible for our choices, our goals and the consequences..

One whom I heed a lot lately, (Sean) said:  “I choose not to use my energy in that way”:   these words having been ringing in my ears since.   My dilemma was all about the pressing issues that are impacting harmfully on our fellow members here on earth

• - what on earth do we do about the buggers who dump toxic waste onto  Somalia and then annihalate them for protesting.

• or  -  the notion that HAARP was used to stimulate the earthquake in Haiti for some property development  -  to build a new Peace Keeping Force base.  ( “Peace Keeping”, and “Force”  in the same sentence????  think about it).

• Or the fact that now a great many, if not most governments are adjusting their structure of laws, in preparation for the Global Order… If its so good.. why do we need to be pushed?  Why do we need Secrecy.. Why do we need to be treated like we are not going to like the idea??  And how do we stop it all?

My dielmma is -was this:   well, I have watched the movie ‘Terminator’.. I know about John’s mother. I recognise her power, her strength, her force, her resilience,  her essence, within myself.  Is there a better way than having to fight to the death??  Yep, there probably is.. but when death or survival are the only choices offered.. what then?  Defense?  Qi Gong?  Aikido?  Using strength of our force to balance itself, whilst keeping our own safety.?  Jewel of the Nile?  Living in a white bubble amongst fire?  The revelations might have an answer?  “Be saved… Judgement Day..”  The ultimate test of who are and what are we doing.  And so, What do we need?

Aahhh-hah.  Now I am aware that I already know.

By getting stronger ourselves. By using our own skills, our own lives to be happy, and strong , and loving , and caring, and peaceful.  By remembering Ghandi, and by perhaps working out that his vision didn’t utterly fulfil itself because not everyone embodied respect for their fellow man.  By not buying with coin, or with agreement, anything that does not serve us well.

There’s a whole new paradigm here now. There are people who believe in having great, enjoyable lives; and to want everyone else to also.   There are people who believe enough in their own lives to live them well.  There is only one thing that can stop any of us from doing the same.. and that is by doing nothing and not joining them..

So what is the best way to address the orwellian games of oppression and tyranny, bullying, force, military rule,big brother, manipulators, conniving crooks, etc;  food altering, mind altering , vampires, paedophiles, cannibals, torturers,  murderers, aliens?  by knowing  what a crock it all is, and deciding today that Heaven-on-Earth exists for everyone, or for no-one.  Its gonna be as simple as that.. “It” is achievable.. “It” is do-able.

Who am I writing this for?  For  all those who know life is great, and for those who would like it to be so;  who want more from life and who are willing to give more to their lives to get it .. who want to to do something about having a great life. I have faith in humanity.  I have faith in healing.  I have faith and trust in human’s ability for good.  And while I don’t know where I fit in with all this, maybe its just living the ideals that make me who I am, and offering you along the way my insights that may contribute to you finding yours.

Thanks Sean, for the clarification.
