Yes, I believe it has been an automatic feeling for me. I simply don't see that there is anything to forgive. I only feel sad that so many act out of ignorance, and although it hurts I ultimately bless them. In the case of my ex I am slow to get to the point where I actually wish him good things in life... but is that to say I have not forgiven him?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279912682706845983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099839503035686703.post-7887757660753718372008-06-15T12:42:00.000-07:002008-06-15T12:42:00.000-07:00Hi Simon! So great to see you! I will still have t...Hi Simon! So great to see you! I will still have to see if there are old writings I could add but it will take a while... I'm doing almost a collage a day now... keeps my mind away from trouble. Well, this twin thing is actually something that was confirmed by some people at Lightworkers where I hang out a lot. That was after I made the artpiece... I have realized that I kind of exist i two dimensions, 3D and 5D at the same time. It's a new way of looking at things I guess... There is so much talk of descending from 3D to 4D or 4D to 5D... I guess I have to take it at face value since many things have fallen into place regarding my own existance and I realize that I don't have to ascend other than truly keep my mind on what is important in this life. In other words my main reason for being here has become verified, and it is compassion. Maybe I'll write a blog to explain it further, however it's a bit touchy still since I don't have all that much to go by yet. I have always felt I don't need to get enlightened but could never place my finger on why I felt that way... now it seems clear - I don't need to... Anyway, I am certainly not talking about a division of the bodymind or anything like that, more in terms of the self as opposed to the observer of the self (you know the Buddhist way of speaking?). The observer is the higher self that is able to be detached and also channel information like for instance the way I channel ideas into symbols in my artwork. I'll take a look at the links you suggest though! <BR/><BR/>Well, I didn't exactly break up with my mom for good, I just waited for her to step forth and apologize. I have had to do this all my life... it's pretty arduous but necessary. I have also recently realized that my compassion is great however I've denied it a lot. Now it's coming out very strong and I need to contain it, as I have a tendency to suck up all the negativity around me and thus feel bogged down and look to others as if I'm victimizing myself. This is part of a healing process I think. Can't heal completely, but can always get better... wonder what you think about that? We need to raise our vibrations somehow, I feel it's absolutely crucial at this time of great changes! We must take care of ourselves so we can be of assistance to others who are more confused than ourselves... see what I mean? Thanks for showing up! If I didn't have my art and stuff I'd have more time to look around. Blogcatalog was a good suggestion though, I try and hold onto that! ;-))) Vivi-MariAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279912682706845983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099839503035686703.post-4946171205434936382008-06-14T11:37:00.000-07:002008-06-14T11:37:00.000-07:00Hi Vivi-Mari - Your new blog looks good, I think, ...Hi Vivi-Mari - Your new blog looks good, I think, and seems to show off your artwork very well. I generally find the blogs outside Gaia to be more aesthetically pleasing - not sure why.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that you perceive the twin realities the way that most people don't. I wonder if you saw the video by Jill Bolte Taylor, in which she experienced differing realities perceived through the right and left parts of her brain during a stroke? It seems to be relevant here:<BR/>http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229<BR/>Here's my related blog post in case you are interested:<BR/>http://secretoflife.typepad.com/the_secret_of_life/2008/04/we-have-the-bio.html<BR/><BR/>You may also be interested to read Sue Ann Edwards' blog, as she also grew up perceiving things in this way (and has also had a lot of illness in her life!):<BR/>http://sueannedwards.wordpress.com/<BR/><BR/>I am interested, though, about what you say about forgiveness. To me, forgiveness is a way to dissipate the hurt inside us which we feel that others have caused us. If we feel hurt yet realize - I mean really *know* - at the same time that the other people did what they did out of ignorance, does not forgiveness follow as a natural consequence? Are you saying that this process has been so automatic for you that you have never thought of it as being a big deal?<BR/><BR/>You are right, of course, about the importance of setting boundaries. Being there for other people is an important part of life but it is all to easy to get stuck in a supportive role out of habit and misplaced obligation. We need to keep searching inside to see if what we are doing feels right. Otherwise we can end up draining ourselves of energy yet failing to benefit the other person. Indeed, we can end up helping to keep them stuck in whatever their problem is. Your decision regarding your mother will have taken great courage, but it sounds like it was the right one.Secret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953620087465255394noreply@blogger.com
