Good Works

Wow I finished that post late last night, after planning to write a short post about our day in San Jose and it opened up all kinds of issues and contemplation!  I woke up early still thinking about it. During the night I dreamt about my friends being held hostage until I did something, but I wasn't quite sure what I needed to do, and was rushing around trying to negotiate my friends out of harm until I saw Steve tied up a high tree and thought that's it, the last straw, and broke down upset.  Immediately after that I looked up to see Steve wriggle out of the ropes and fall into the bushes below thus escaping! Huh clever Steve, things were looking up!  Then I realized one friend still wasn't caught because he'd stayed home to play playstation - we're in luck - he (and playstation) may save the day...  Then I woke up. I think the big message there is that the difference is going to made with people being empowered, not trying to save everyone with handouts.  The playstation bit I think refers to a comment Lita de Alberdi (Channeling: What it is and how to do it) had made is that technology is a good thing and will bring positive change - thus questioning  and adjusting my default view of technology being bad and ruining our environment and indigenous peoples way of life.  Also that globally we are coming to a period of greater spiritual awareness which will make a difference for everyone, whether spiritually involved or not.

It's interesting how a blog (writing) brings a lot of ideas to the surface.  I've ordered a book over Amazon (which will arrive at Paul and Gina's in Brooklyn soon after we arrive in the states) about Proprioceptive Writing (highly recommended by Christiane Northrup through personal experience).  It's a technique of 'exploring the mind through writing' and I look forward to reading it.  We also looked into a tutor while we're there but it's quite costly so we're going to try the book first!

In my inbox this morning I have an email from Good Works, an organisation who offer 'jobs with a purpose' (http://www.goodworks.co.nz/home.asp), and an email from www.dictionary.com with the word of the day moil, which means to work hard, drudge, to whirl or churn ceaselessly.  Well that was certainly my experience last night whilst trying to sort my thoughts out, around saving the world, in that blog!

Gladly my thoughts are clearer now:

• Originally when I travelled I felt worry and guilt around not personally being able to save the day.
• Then I came across Landmark Education and my focus turned to being empowered and having a great life myself, whilst empowering other people wherever I could.  This gave me and others a lot of fulfillment and also resulted in me meeting Snowdon, getting married and having the courage to leave it all to travel the world together on a spiritual adventure.
• Now I know that what will make the difference worldwide is a majority of people on the earth being empowered, loving, peaceful and compassionate.
• Thus the spiritual honeymoon adventure.  I'm here to develop myself spiritually (along with Snowdon) by having the time, space and experiences to explore whatever I come across that there is to delve into. Also to examine/question my current perceptions, open my view, follow my passions and create my future, from nothing, powerfully.
• That's what will make the difference long term, not guilt!

Another empowering belief/viewpoint from Lita (as above) and her spiritual guide is that we have all chosen our life on earth before being born into it, and each of us have a purpose to fulfill that we have also chosen.  With each life we are here to learn an important lesson and develop ourselves on our spiritual path (whatever it may be) and the experiences that we come across assist us to learn that lesson.
