It's kind of fun to live in eternity right now.

TIME IS SEGMENTS OF ETERNITY.

The is no death, no parting, no sorrow.

Just all-one-ness tomorrow and tomorrow !!!

Hmmm... The Christmas ANGELS are close and getting closer.

Dave and Burt.....I have been inspired tonight reading your dialogue back and forth. Dave, I am so happy for you that you finally feel free. I could feel the exuberance in your post. Blessed be.

Phyllis.....that piece on Lantern Carriers is just awesome. We have some of those beautiful carriers here with us tonight.

I am still learning here and appreciate all that you three have shared, especially the posts from our two Brothers of Light. Blessed be.

"It's been a hard long haul for each and everyone of us.

I think that it would be safe to say that each and everyone of us have experienced enough sorrow, mental anguish, spiritual pain, rejection and even physical pain that many times we wished that we were dead.

God in his/her greater wisdom has brought us together to heal."

-------------------------------------------------------------

There is so much truth to this, Burt. I think my personal hell started when I was about 13, when my father lost his mind and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. My mother suffered physical abuse as well as mental and emotional anguish due to my father's violence.....all this while us three kids watched and heard.

When he landed in mental hospitals did I stay away? No, I became the parent and visited him every day.....even on school nights. I was a high school kid who drove with my younger sister a half an hour one way to the hospital, where my father would get from us things we brought for him that he wanted in order to make his stay more comfortable....change for the vending machines, cigarettes, hard candy, etc. We loved him even though he terrorized us. It was not easy to see the doped up mental patients on his wing. I felt badly for every one of them. They had no life locked up in a prison of sorts and medicated out of their minds.

When my father died at age 50 it was a blessing and a relief. I was happy that he was at peace. I was only 26 but I knew that he was in a better place and had no pain. His spirit was free and happy. My tears over his death did not last very long.

I must have made bad choices because I went through two marriages.....the first at age 22 to an alcoholic. I didn't know it until after we were married. That marriage didn't last long. The second time I was married was at age 26 to a man who I believed was my soulmate. The love we had together was incredible. We totally understood each other. I loved him like I will never love anyone else. After a 19 year relationship he left me to persue another life with another woman.

Twice I have been hurt and rejected by men I trusted with everything I had. The last relationship because of its longevity has left me devastated. I still have a hard time processing it all, and even to this day I have a hard time believing that it really is over. It has been almost two years now.

Through the years there has been all sorts of other hardships, one after another it seems, and so to say that I have been through the mill in the past 31 years is pretty accurate. I am tired, just tired of it all. I yearn for a simple life, because I have been stripped of so much that I once held dear. I truly can no longer be the person I once was. The last few years of despair has taken everything out of me. Whomever I turn out to be when I recover will be a totally different person.

I want to heal. I am ready to heal. I can't live like this in pain anymore. I have spent more time on here with you all then I spend looking for a job....which I desperately need to find asap. It is just that I feel that I won't be able to function until I can fix what is wrong inside of me. The outside can't reflect the positive unless the inside feels it. This is why I am here. I am trying to seek guidance on how to heal the inside of who I am, so I can survive the outside world and find happiness again in some form.

Thank you all for listening and for supporting me.

You are so right, Cassie, we do have some Lantern Carriers here and it is a good feeling.

As Dave has always told us, all we really need is already within us. I have another article that might help you find some healing and spiritual peace. I hope it helps. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

TAME YOUR SPIRITUAL UNREST

My father taught me a lot about spirituality from the time I was old enough to toddle around after him. Of course, I did not realize what he was teaching me was how to grow spiritually -- that realization came many years later. One thing he taught me when I was very young is that one must sometimes go into the silence (within, as when meditating) and listen to the voice of your soul. He did not say it that way, he would say something like, "Just go sit in your room, shut the door, sit on your bed and be very quiet. Soon you will know the answer." It still works for me. I have received so much help by listening to the voice of my soul.

Healing starts from within. One cannot be healed until they go within and begin the healing of the child that still hurts, or the wife that is still feeling pain and sadness. Soothe that part of you that is hurting by imagining you are hugging that child and rocking her, helping her to ease the pain and find the way to stand up and go forward with trust, faith, and love for herself.

You are getting there, Cassie. It sometimes seems like a long journey, but treasure every minute of it, for you need to remember what gave you the strength to go forward and how it helped you.

Hugs!

Cassie, You have made some real stretches recently. I can hardly believe how fast you are growing. If I may, let me share how I begin any healing session. I am relentless in this pursuit until the person/people that I am working with have this established firmly into their brain.

First of all disease or illness of any part of the body is not real. O.K. one could say,"O yeh right Dave, I don't have a cancer on my breast, right??. Do you want to feel the lump??" Now my next statement would automatically be,"What lump?" They retort," RIGHT HERE!!!!!". Again I repeat,"right where?". We go back and forth until we end up usually in a deadlock stare. Then they usually crack with a smile and say,"O.K. I get it!" Our culture has been programmed toward the visible. As you know I have said many times that our life comes from the invisible.

Now we both see that our speech must change in order to over-ride the death sentence that has been placed upon mankind from of old. Coming from the old order we see that it is layer upon layer of curses even from ancient times thrust upon people and families that must be dealt with in order to clear the mind and body. If anyone on here does not believe in curses just look at the mindset of the individual who has just been told that because his/her dad had diabetes now they are prone to such. What has just been accomplished in their mind? A doubt has just been interjected into the mind that could compromise the health status of the victim. This is a form of a curse but just as effective as one from ages gone past. What if one was told," There is no reason for you to believe that you will ever have diabetes." What kind of ammunition has the psyche been armed with in this situation????!!!

O.K. lets go from here.

As the other person restates with a smile,"What lump?" The foundation has just been set for its defeat. It is the same with mental illness. This culture, which is usually more mentally ill than the individual it has targeted, has to rethink its stand. We keep each other held hostage.

There is a certain chain of hospitals that has performed miracles when it comes to cancer. When I first heard about these guys I did handsprings and told my other half that,"Finally, someone gets it!!!!" The whole being is dealt with, mind, body, and spirit. I honestly am not trying to drum up business for them here other than to say that I applaud them for their efforts.

Coming from some very ancient philosophies I see that the mind is the most powerful force that the human being possesses. If one has it re-programmed and then healing is applied it will be accomplished and then sustained with the backing of the mind. Now, it has been found repeatedly that the mind can be re-programmed, of course, but also trained to do the hidden art of healing any part of the body by itself. This has been proven throughout history innumerable times. It has been accomplished by ancient masters including one called Jesus who himself said,"And greater works shall ye do than I have done." I am not trying to push religion here, I am just attempting to have us see the power that we have within.

Getting back to the person with assumed breast cancer. This is where I must argue with our culture when they insist that we cannot be in denial as that defeats progression. Denial, if applied negatively, does thwarts the chances of a positive outcome of a given situation. On the flip side it can be used to thwart a negative situation resulting in a positive outcome .It has unmovable power when shored up with steadfast determination and repeated affirmations. BINGO.

"Dave, I was told that I have a disease and it can never be repaired. I will have it with me all of my life." That is denial. It thwarts any possibility of healing. That is also a self imposed curse. Now if we use denial correctly such as, "I am just fine, I am whole, and will live to be very old if I choose and I have no room for rent in my head that allows another being to dictate to me the course of my life." A positive progression cannot live in denial likewise neither can a negative. Lets use it to thwart the negative instead of the positive. The lump will retreat. It has no longer any power and will physically decline due to the positive reinforcement of denial. All of you science heads out there; don't be afraid to research the empirical studies done on this topic. If you don't believe them, do your own but do them, in all fairness, with an open mind as a true scientist.

The people that I see, are taught to heal themselves because I love them enough to take pleasure in the fact that they alone have taken back the power to live freely. The healer is within. dave is just a mirror. he can tweek the mirror as needed but each individual must be empowered with their own tools to navigate through life. "The guru is within", as Cousin Julie told me. Another great leader once said that the greatest place that we can visualize is already inside of us. Physical and mental illness exists only if we allow it. One does not have to believe one word that I have written here. Just give yourself the courtesy of listening to them. Blessed Be

Burt, I have been following this exchange silently and thoughtfully, and after reading your responses here, I have to say, in all sincerity, that your comments are some of the wisest words I've ever heard from anyone.

You have MUCH to offer this sick world my gentle brother!

LOVE you!

Just a simple example of what I think Burt is saying, is something that happened to me EVERY time I addressed a gathering of people, either in lectures about Cetaceans, or some other nature topic, or healing subject, or as a Lay Preacher - (before I left that for higher mountains to climb.)

As I stood before them, a change took place within me. What I now recognize to be the Higher Self, emerged and 'took over' in my consciousness. I was overwhelmed with a great love for every one of them. I saw every face, and looked into every soul, and what did I see? I saw, and FELT 'my CHILDREN'! These were MY CHILDREN!!!!! All beautiful! All my beloved children!

As soon as the address, or message, or lecture was finished, that awareness left me, and I was just 'me' again. But for the space of time when I stood before them, looking at those upturned faces, I knew perfect love, and I saw them all as my children. My babies.

This feeling still comes over me at unexpected times, when observing others. I figured out what it was 20 years or more ago, but have never spoken of it until now, - - and Burt explains it so well.

Burt, I love you brother!!!

I have another thing that I must do so I may not be around as much as I could be but I will pop in and out at times. If you feel yourself slipping in any wise put your thoughts out into the cosmos. One never knows who may be listening. Enough said. I am so proud of you and all of you ladies. You gals get this stuff!! We men will tag along until it sinks in, LOL Take care of each other. dave
