Accept Peace
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:32pm
 
For the last couple of days I have been receiving the message: Accept Peace.

I'm not sure why I am sharing this here because that is all the message was. But it seemed so very comforting to me. Both times I was in bed, where I have been restless in the middle of the night this last week or two.

I could hear a clear voice telling me in a soothing way: accept peace.

When I heard the voice telling me this I immediately relaxed and became aware of a deep sense of comfort around me. It was not as if I was "telling myself" this or "trying" to convince myself of it.

Just a quiet voice. And then... peace.  In general I find myself much more accepting and much less "striving" than a month or two ago.  It is not a lack of energy but more of a feeling of wholeness and a gentle belief that all is well. I feel a willingness to listen more to others, and a willingness to lower defenses in general.

I don't know if this is one of the effects of K. Howell's cds I've been working with, but I find her recent cd's on The Secret, Finding Your Prayers, and a couple of others to be very good.

love, blink Smiley

I really like that too, Alysia. Very simple....choose love.

It is interesting to me that it was not like it was myself saying to myself: I choose peace. Or: Peace is the answer. It was just a suggestion in my mind: accept peace.  And my mind, in response, had a "okay" millisecond, and then, there it was, peace, comfort, quietness, and, yes, the mind chatter just vanished.

I guess the key word was "accept" for this particular message.

So, to me, it felt as if it was coming from "somewhere" but I don't know where.

However, I do know where it comes from. It is the higher self which knows that I am listening.

I believe that the higher self sometimes intervenes at just the right moment, and I'm not sure how that "portal" works.

I think that learning to listen and to trust that voice is such a challenge in this world with so many distractions. We are bombarded with messages of all kinds every day if we allow ourselves to be open to them. Many of these are from humans with an agenda of some kind which may or may not resonate with our best interests.

But this particular message did not seem to have any agenda except to offer me comfort and security. It was personal.

So it is easy to trust. I am familiar with affirmations that one might say to oneself to help in various situations.  But it was not like that.

Perhaps the element of trust opens a door.  This particular cd, The Secret, takes me on a voyage which feels like a smooth transition back to the very highest Self, the Eye of God/All that Is. It holds my relaxed mind for a time in that feeling of utter wholeness and allows me to, for lack of a better word, resonate with the unity of all.

Some people might listen to it and become outraged because in the final moments this cd actually says "I am God" and I imagine that many people's fears or ego's might become wrapped around that statement and block them.

But it is really about unity, and about awareness of the ever-present potential and love and peace of the Creator, and our actual relationship with Creation.

Our choices and our realities radiate from our thoughts, and, therefore, we must be careful what we wish for, and choose well.

But the assistance is here, waiting for us to realize it. Definitely, the still, small, quiet voice will be the one I listen to.


love, blink Smiley

Sorry, the other cd is entitled, Living Prayer.  Fulfill Your Heart's Desire is nice too.  She has for many years used modern brainwave manipulation.  I also enjoy Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's musical meditation cd's.  They vary from somewhat intense to pretty gentle.

hi blink, if I can commune with you for a moment, you give me a feeling of joy.

So, to me, it felt as if it was coming from "somewhere" but I don't know where.

However, I do know where it comes from. It is the higher self which knows that I am listening.

well, maybe its that we're getting used to being plugged in. I always liked your name Blink, because I have a blinking on/off type of perspective to higher thought, I like to observe the on/off peace switch in my mind.

We are bombarded with messages of all kinds every day if we allow ourselves to be open to them.

just sharing, that I understand what you're saying about distractions. what I did in the past concerning all the distractions, it is like the bulk folder in my email, thankfully few get into my main inbox and yahoo lets me put them in spam folder; the mind is kinda like that too, once I have the IP address, that same spammer is never to be seen again. I often would reflect on my zodiac sign, the one pointed archer symbol. I would remind myself I wanted to concentrate on my focus. it might be an affirmation that helps do that, but like you, it's often unbidden thought that would just pop up.


But this particular message did not seem to have any agenda except to offer me comfort and security. It was personal.
I had a particular personal message often coming in just before I awaken in the morn, the inbetween state. these are the best times for me. one time I was battling with a belief system, in conflict in full waking consciousness, and I am one who often imagines guides around and about, other times I would say, yes, this too is my higher self communicating, this time the message was to speak to the one who was causing my conflict, so it seemed, but not really, speak and correspond with this one, to "offer gentle nonresistance" should I be crashing gracefully. well, yes, it was easier to pick myself up off the floor then, to not be in conflict, I ceased to resist the fact my face was in the carpet to see I did need this person to grow thru this. then love could survive.


So it is easy to trust. I am familiar with affirmations that one might say to oneself to help in various situations.  But it was not like that.

The Secret arrived it seems just at the right time for many of us. thanks for your inspirational post!

Well, you can’t beat love but I’ve been thinking about Blink’s “message” since I read it this morning.  To accept peace is in many ways similar to love.  Love though in our culture is a sticky term and can attach itself to different situations.  I believe Vicky mentioned once that love is or can be an action word.  Peace, on the other hand, describes a state. 

As such, peace, as a state word, can suggest deep meditation.  Love, as an action word, tends to call for an object.  I think love as PUL might come close to peace in being a state but still there is the suggestion of an object or objects.  Perhaps peace is the state in which love can best operate.

I’ve enjoyed your posts, Blink and Alysia’s.  I’m grateful that Blink started this thread.  It’s given me much to wonder about.  Thank you.

Peace, *
Rob

* If I had one of those smiley faces making the peace sign, I’d insert that here.

In looking this up I find that "Noy" is a male name of Hebrew origin meaning: Beauty.

...And "Oy" in various languages is a word used mainly to call attention, but also in some places as an expression of reverence, surprise, other emotions, or even hello...

Another odd thing recently, just in the last couple of days. I find myself communing with plants.  I know this is not unique. In fact, many people talk to their plants, but I never have.

I always wondered why I just didn't have much of a green thumb at home....but at work my plants flourish. Perhaps they feed off the energy of all the people at my place of work, where a lot of positive energy is generated.

However, at home I have one red geranium plant outside and one peace lily inside at present.

I was sitting next to my geranium the other night and sending thoughts of gratitude to it for blooming again, bringing me a second wave of bright red flowers.

This is really unusual for me. Not something I have ever done.

I am sitting here at work tonight because there is a man cleaning all the chairs and benches, etc. in our school and he arrived late, so it is 10:30 at night here and we're both having a long day today.

I found myself cleaning the sink.  Then I found myself walking up to a plant and speaking to it in my mind again...just as if it were human....

"You're looking really wonderful right now."

It was personal.

Kind of like complimenting your lover.

So, yes, Oneness.  Is Real.    Will the furniture be next?   I have to laugh!

love, blink Smiley

Gee Alysia, my main concern was with your pigeon.  I just had a bad experience with a pigeon the other week - you know the kind when a flock of them fly over your head and someone leaves a reminder. 

Anyway I read your post again and see that you called it a dove. So maybe that's okay.  Anyway, now you have to come up with a jumpin' geranium.

I believe there have been a number of studies indicating that plants respond to positive energy.  I talk to them periodically.  I used to have a beautiful tree where I lived some years ago and talked to it regularly.  A few times I'm pretty sure it responded to me.  Trees have a different perspective on things.

Peace,
Rob

yep, that was your higher self alright.  you described it well.  i have had the same thing happen to me.  i never new what people meant when they talked about higher-self until i experienced it myself.  i didn't even believe in it.  but when you experience it, there is no other way to describe it.  i only had it happen twice.  i wish i could experience it more.  it is like your higher self for what ever reason decides to intervene and give you the exact word command that instantaneously gives you the exact cognition you were looking for. 

maybe our higher self loses its patients with us and just can't take it any more.  it blows its cover and just gives us the answer.  our higher self must think we're so stupid. lol

My higher self chuckles over what you posted on behalf of your higher self. My HS says you are wise!
