 Thanksgiving Is a Guiding Light

Excerpt from Story of A Clam

Rebekah Alezander Dunlap and John M. Templeton

When we affirm truth with a conscious, deliberate, and powerful image of spiritual reality and bow our heads in recognition of the Divine, then we may alter any situation.  That’s a broad statement, but it is correct.  Giving thanks to the Great Creator can provide believers with a strength that can raise them to new heights of performance and insight.

Thanksgiving may be called the Principle of Gratitude, with fear playing an opposite role.  Gratitude enhances the open-hearted, genuine appreciation for what is wonderful in our life.  Fear can be a constrictive force that- if we allow its entry into our thoughts- can move us from the stability and strength of our own power.

Thanksgiving may be like a prayer of knowing that the words we speak and the actions we take should be in harmony with the purpose of the Great Creator for the benefit of his children.  By making a profound effort to be one with the Great Creator, will what we do in life have a far greater rate of success?

Remember that each of us is important.  Everything we say, think, feel, and do is important!  We are planetary citizens, a wonderful part of a magnificent whole.  Isn’t it tremendous that more of earth’s inhabitants are awakening now to this awareness and to greater responsibility?  Realities glimpsed from afar are often seen as ideals.  When viewed from closer range, they become the practical necessities of the time.  Are events swiftly carrying us toward further realizations with tremendous speed in this important period in cosmic history?  Is now the hour when the clarion call goes forth, inviting all to be infused with the light of expanding consciousness, to be of good cheer, and to exercise good will?   Is this the hour when opening one’s eyes to immediate situations and experiences becomes a necessity?  No longer need we grope in ignorance or egotism.

The Principle of Gratitude is an aspect of the universe that deals with the flow of energy.  That is, as we give out energy, we receive the impact of the returning cycle.   This works in every arena of life.  This spiritual principle is continuously combining the expectations of the mind with the power of the heart.  When we create a “mold” for something good in our lives, the power of thanksgiving becomes a magnet to draw greater good to us.

Do you want to have life and have it more abundantly?  Do you want to be transformed and renewed?  If you do, the activity of giving thanks is a powerful key.  Thanksgiving opens the door to increased spiritual growth.  And isn’t this the energy we desire to program into our daily lives?

Let’s Talk It Out!

By Carrie  Shubert

What ever happened to talking it out?  Is our society encouraging the public to run to courtrooms and to the police to solve everything?  My fourteen-year old son was served notice of a hearing in juvenile court set for the month of November.  The complaint was filed because of his pushing a boy who had spit and slapped him on the bus.

            I spoke to the attorney assigned by the court to represent my son.  After reading his file, she agreed the whole matter was absurd.  We are going to take it to trial.

            This is an example of the breakdown of our society.  This should have been a matter where both parents were encouraged to talk it out with both children present in order to determine a solution or appropriate punishment.  Instead, hours of precious time and money will be spent on preventing my son from having a criminal record.

If people have a problem, they are no longer willing to go directly to that person.  Are we looking to others to fix it?  Our society does not promote trust or harmony.  The government is creating suspicion among us.  Look at the news.  Once again we are giving up more of our constitutional rights for ‘our safety.’  We are turning to them to enforce laws that typically would be just common sense.

Be a part of the solution.  God will keep you safe, not our government.  If you have a problem, take it directly to the source.  Don’t give up your power.

Dear Friends of LightStreamers.Com,

As I look back over the past month or so, I had so hoped that the world would measure where it was, and where it was headed, according to the incoming energies of September 17th (see previous article). But instead, what I see is that the events surrounding September 11th still command and control our very breath: now via ANTHRAX. As these tumultuous times continue to create daily upheaval in the world, I find myself going through many changes as I struggle, like all of us, to adapt to the new world in which we now find ourselves living. As a result of my near death experiences, I have known that this new unfoldment of reality was coming for 25 years. However, it does not make it any easier to bear. I also realize that there is so much yet to come!

It will all continue to change our lives everyday and in every way whether we want it to or not. However, according to the boxes of knowledge that I received in the first NDE, most of the fear we must now endure, will be replaced, by 2004, with a divine understanding of the meaning of this growth cycle which will ultimately lead to our own spiritual empowerment. So, we must immediately begin to focus on ourselves from an entirely new perspective. This new perspective helps us to honestly evaluate our inner selves without allowing the outer world, in anyway, to control that evolutionary evaluation process.

To give you a personal example, most recently I find myself pushing too hard, not keeping myself spiritually focused, and forgetting that there is a Divine Order in the timing of each event that is happening in my everyday life.

Because of this, I find the relationships in my life changing very fast. Old friendships are dissolving while new alliances are coming into existence. And all of this is happening faster than I am prepared to deal with. I am sure that this has been your experience, too. What I want everyone to please keep in mind, over the next two or three months, is that the new energy arriving is in reality just an old energy returning to a new time. What this means is that we are being offered a golden opportunity to receive and give love at a higher octave than at anytime in the last 6,000 years. This means also that we must keep fear to a minimum and inner growth to a maximum. We must consciously learn to forgive ourselves as we clumsily work through this most important transition. We must forgive others and open our hearts.

And let this new ideology begin with me. For all of you out there whom I have offended or let down over the last fifty years (of which I know there are many) let me say, I am sincerely sorry. For all of you who have attempted to do the same to me, you, too, are forgiven. I believe that this approach to self-realization will save me a lot of money on fine wine consumption (my favorite form of self-medication). But I know better than self-medicating, and so do you! Yet life has a way of getting the best of us.

Therefore, as we make mistakes in life and learn to forgive ourselves, we need to be as tender, gentle and loving with ourselves, as we would be with those we love, especially in these tenuous times.

The panoramic life review is the greatest teaching tool I have ever received in my life. At a certain point in the near death experience you will re-experience your entire life. Every feeling. Every event. Every moment. You will watch it from a point of view as though you were only seeking to forgive or be forgiven. Then you will literally become every person you've ever met as well as feeling the direct result of your every action towards them.

Having had three panoramic life reviews in the last 26 years has given me an advantage, for better or worse, to get away with things that I should not have, and most people have no idea how to. However, with the tremendous cosmic vibratory energies of love and power now moving through the universe, my inner spirit is compelled to grow by leaps and bounds. I truly must turn my focus away from that which I can get away with a damn it! and instead focus upon what we collectively can achieve.

It is my hope that by opening up this most private side of myself to you, you will also be inspired to open yourselves to the true potential within for greatness and thereby allow yourself access to the knowledge of Divine Order.


Friends, in summary, I want to ask that each of you avow never to lose faith in your own divine self. I truly believe that the absolute key to spiritual growth is compassion, compassion for ourselves and for others.

Compassion is defined as, " a deep feeling of sharing the suffering of another, together with the inclination to give aid or support to show mercy." With this understanding we can all see that our true purpose on Earth is easily definable. To master your life, simply put compassion in action, everyday.
 

With Purpose

P.S. On a very somber note, I would like to bring to your attention that with the signing of the Emergency Terrorist Bill, President Bush has given  unprecedented power to our police forces to track down terrorists. I ask you also to keep this in mind, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to  purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."-  The Papers of Ben Franklin

I ask that you support Compassion In Action and it's volunteers!!

The Seven Truths

Notes and Thoughts By W. G. Black Ph.D. - Founder and Director of Gakati'yi

Is Drama Triangle Consciousness Our Only Option?

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblin, all of them imginary." H. L. Mencken
It's been awhile since Mencken made his profound observation. Apparently truth is little affected by time. He couldn't have described our world in the last few months any more accurately if he had been here and replaced a TV anchor, which I doubt he would be allowed to do. Mencken also predated Dr. Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis by quite a few years...yet, what Berne and his colleagues made into social psychiatry and social science, he described with practical clarity and simple elegance. Let us take a journey through the history and anatomy of "Drama Triangle Consciousness." As we travel become more and more aware of the enormous pressure to accept, believe it's "the only game in town or on the planet," and enjoy the freedom of knowing that transcending it IS an option, is possible, and, yes, I believe, preferable.
Dr. Steve Karpman of San Francisco is credited with discovering, describing and developing the clinical use of the "Karpman Drama Triangle." The structure was simple and profound.
He developed the idea that life in the world of fear has three basic roles: Persecutor, Victim and Rescuer. Other words can be substituted. Perpetrator, Aggressor, Attacker,
and, these days, Terrorist, can be used in the top left, Persecutor position. Sufferer, martyr, intimidated one, the abused, etc., can be substituted for the Victim role. Reliever, releaser, freedom facilitator, enabler, etc., can be associated with the top right position.
From this matrix has proceeded all manner of human experience. The negative pole and negative emotions reign here. Guilt, fear, hate, anger, loss, injury, death, ad infinitum have unfolded. It appears that any aspect of the nine hells can be described and worked with through this ingenious tool.
I am very grateful to Dr. Karpman for sharing this marvelous mental tool with us. I found on occasion that people changed their lives just by hearing it and seeing it described.
They automatically and intuitively "plugged themselves and their life into it," and that created change inherently. Others needed more time and work; results were phenomenal. As excellent as it was by itself, I noted that it was like an X-ray. It showed where the bone was broken, but it didn't offer a healed solution. I set about to change that for my own work with others. I asked what the positive opposite was for each role. I decided to use "Loving Confrontation with Truth" as the polarity of the Persecuter.  The polarity of Victim was "Finding and Identifying with One's Strength," focusing on the
postive, strength, power in the present.  The polarity of Rescuer was Helper, finding and achieving genuine, real help, actual healing rather than the temporary relief of rescuing. The long history of working with alcoholics has especially revealed and denoted the reality and agony of this dilemma. I placed a bull's-eye in the center of the triangle: perfection, wholeness, a state of being healed, creative and including Maslow's self-realization. He only found twelve persons who had reached the state he described as self actualized. To summarize very briefly, many people have benefited greatly from this idea, this system of growth, work and change.
Now, to apply it to the recent extreme duress of our world, I note that some of my brothers and sisters, fellow humans in charge of great wealth and/or governments, are exerting enormous pressure and expending great resources to get all of us to join in believing that we are victims of terrorists, and we must accept the popular party line and their governance and solutions as rescuers. Do we want the problem, or do we want the solution? I also dare ask who really GENERATED the problem and for what REASONS, really???? Um...um...yes, as one author brilliantly suggested, there are two simple "um's" which help us to understand the alleged drama triangle in which we are all supposed to be victims in need of rescuing. They are petroleum and opium. I refer you to several sources that are "confronting the truth" about these two ums.
Here the concern is that the role of "victim" must be discerned carefully, lovingly, and whatever fear is present, if any, is to be transformed rather than manipulated as a trigger to get us to give up our sovereignty as an individual. Is our Original Nature freedom, or is it slavery? Many books have been written in answer to that.
What's important right now is that the freedom of the Original Source is what is called for in this crisis.
As you do your form of growth, self responsibility and meditation, go inward and become aware of any presence of the three prongs of the drama triangle. Let any and all of it be OK. Then find the polarity of each item present. Then affirm, "That I AM. I am love even if everyone around me is full of fear. I am free even if slavery is presented with gold or chocolate all over it."  Study Dr. Viktor Frankl's response when he was captured by the Nazis. His inner thought was, "There is nothing anyone in the Universe can do to me which takes away or lessens the Divine Dignity which I AM, by which I was created, in which I live, breathe, and have my being." As he created this experience inside of himself, they were removing all his clothes and preparing to send him to a concentration camp. He survived, thrived, advanced spiritually and eventually was released. The rest is history, and you know it if you have heard of him or followed his life. I heard him speak in Oklahoma City in the 70's as he was traveling from Vienna. What an inspirational evening. I remember it well. He held a professorship in Vienna, developed Logotherapy, inspired countless people and advanced the positive side of the profession of psychiatry.
Dr. Frankl demonstrated that Drama Triangle Consciousness is not our only option under extreme, dire circumstances. We are all being called to "Choose Once Again." Choose love, choose freedom, choose self responsibility. Love is stronger than fear. We may be presented with every known form of seduction to choose and prefer being controlled over choosing love and freedom and personal autonomy and integrity. Be not deceived by the glitter and the beauty of the wrappings. Universal law indicates that "Control freaks will eventually be freaked out as they are themselves controlled." Place love above control twenty four hours a day. Drama triangle control consciousness is AN option...but not the only one, unless you just insist on it. Hollywood might be little known or even a ghost town without it.
"Faith, hope and love abide, and of these three, love is the greatest." Paul

Principle 4: Know the ways of all professions.

Networking is a great way to apply this principle and develop some good interdependent projects. Two of the best networking groups in the world are Rotary and Toastmasters. If these aren’t available or don’t suit your goals then get involved in some service projects that utilize the talents of a variety of professionals to achieve it’s goals. Learn about the various worlds of these professions and let that knowledge enrich your life and perhaps even inspire you to move into new fields. In the study of aging, researchers are saying that there are people alive today that will live to 150. A woman recently died who made it to 122. Born in France in 1875, she was strong willed and had a good sense of humor. She saw the Eiffel tower being built and saw many things come and go throughout her life. By becoming aware of different professions and integrating the skills that make one successful as a human being, you can move between worlds and professions. It is becoming more and more common to start new ventures or jobs even in one’s 60’s or 70’s. Fostering your vitality, energy and spirit is essential as you grow older – the number of elderly over 65 will be ¼ of our population by 2010. Let’s not promote a nation of nursing homes with fallen warriors trapped inside their bodies. Let us become a nation and world of wise elders who remain powerful and fluid role models for the young to follow.

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building,
We became one class.

As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.

As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno,
We became one gender.

As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.

As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.

As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.

As we mourned together the great loss,
We became one family.

As we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.

As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
We become one people.

We are:
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people

We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.

* Our Readers Viewpoint *

In these uncertain times we live, it is especially good to have the comfort of friends and family around us. At a time when the day to day television, newspaper and radio coverage of the war events and anthrax dilemma, our lives are inundated with scenes of bombing and such and the war that rages fills our senses at every turn.
Our friends and family help us to keep grounded so that we may continue to work, play and go about our lives in the hopes that some manner of normality will come back to us, it will prevail and the carnage will cease. In the meantime we endeavor to do our daily tasks and look forward to putting together Halloween costumes so that our children may
enjoy their "trick or treating"... and the visions of the upcoming Thanksgiving warm our hearts, knowing that we will be with those we love...to share the meal and share the love.
Awaiting our holiday festivities, we share an extra hug, an extra "I love you"... extended to those around us, showing that we do appreciate having them in our lives, enriching our stay here on Earth.
Showing them how precious they are to us, always keeping them near in thought and prayer.
We are very blessed to have this life and are thankful for it.
Yes, in these very uncertain days, we here at home must keep faith and hope alive and live every day to the fullest and keep the love alive and thriving! We are all survivors, holding dear the torch of freedom. May we all see the 'bigger picture' and continue to live in the Light of Love.
This we do for the freedom we cherish.

Hello! I was moved by your article in Streaming News and thank you for putting it out there. Your thoughts definitely have helped me rebalance as I board an airplane this week. I have written down on an index card, perfect size for my carry-on, essential points from your article that resonate inside me, reminders of where my consciousness can rest if/when fear rears its head. Feeling bogged down since Sept. 11 by a sense of heaviness, your words definitely helped lift it and reset my priorities. Thanks sooo much.

The angels tell us to Let Go, or Let it Happen, or Allow, or to Let Go and Let God. These are all ways of saying the same thing - to remove ourselves from a circumstance and let wiser beings take care of our worries and needs.

This is a difficult thing for we human beings to do because we have been taught since infancy to take charge of our lives, to make decisions, and then to take action. "The early bird gets the worm," is a popular slogan.  The Biblical quote "The Lord helps those who help themselves" is often used as an excuse to keep in control of one's life.

The great motivators who write the books say, "You have to give 100 percent if you want to be successful." "You have to 'want' it more than anyone else if you plan to be at the top!"

What does it mean, then, to "Let Go," when we have been taught to "take  action?" When do we act and when do we stand back? When is it appropriate to
work hard? How do we put our egos in our pockets and let God and the angels help us or take charge? We asked them all these questions. Here is their reply.

The Angels Speak:
When times are chaotic, it is difficult to "Let Go." It seems as if that is doing nothing at all. In a crisis, you want to help! To Let Go seems inactive, wasteful, and lazy.

When you are trying to figure out how much to devote yourself to your life plan, helping others, or your passion, it is first important to remember that you are part of a bigger plan - God's plan. When your human "brain" becomes involved in trying to figure it out, confusion arises because your brain does not remember in the same way your soul does. Your brain runs your body and stores some memories, but your soul stores the reasons for your life.  Your brain doesn't know your mission or God's plan.

How, then, do you access information to find out the meaning for your life?   More often you can't, because it involves so many others and is multi-faceted. That is one of the major reasons you have angels and other divine beings to keep you on track. We see a bigger picture with a greater meaning. We are the storehouse of that type of information. Your brain only knows what is in it. We know what is in many people's brains and what their purposes are. We work to bring people and circumstances together at the right time and in the right place to connect for the greatest good.

When you Let Go, you are merely announcing to yourself that you do not need to know everything. You are saying that you have done all you can do, and now you trust us to take your request or need to a conclusion. Think of us as a heavenly mailbox. You have deposited your "mail" or prayer or request in the box, and faithfully believe that it is going to the right destination.  Allow us to do our work for the best good. We hear and act on every request.

What do you do in the meantime? A lot of you resort to worry. We say, let us handle it. We will motivate you to action if it is needed. You only need to do the tasks you need to do today. Let God and His angels do the rest.

Faith Builder: Give your worries and fears to your angels today. Then let them take care of them. Let God run His world.

COMPASSION FOR SURVIVORS

 By Dr. Rev. Chris Lowe

While the entire world and I have watched in horror the events and results of the tragedy that unfolded on September 11, 2001, there has been a tremendous amount of compassion and sympathy shown for those who have not only lost their lives but also to those who were fortunate enough to survive the tragedy.  I must also admit that there has been an extraordinary level of financial and emotional support shown for the family members of those whose lives were lost.

    However, I must express my concern and disgust, to put it mildly, toward the visual NEWS MEDIA who have, in my view, totally exploited the grief and emotions of those survivors of those who lost their lives for the sake of “ sensationalism” and “ commercialism”. This holds true especially for the MORNING NEWS SHOWS who constantly “parade” the survivors and family members of those who were not as fortunate and ask insensitive questions for the end result of causing them to “break down” on the air and shed their tears before the entire world!   While they may feel as if this is perfectly alright and newsworthy, It is my personal and professional opinion that this is not “healthy” nor part of the “healing process”, because there certainly cannot be a beginning of the “HEALING” if one continuously opens up THE WOUND! THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

    It is for this end that we at LIGHTSTREAM  PRODUCTIONS propose to support not only the Compassion in Action program formed in 1997 by Dannion Brinkley, as a non-profit national organization to recruit and train hospice volunteers to provide compassionate care for the dying, but also the creation and establishment of a program to train volunteers to provide that same level of compassionate care for the survivors of those who have lost their lives through any means, whether naturally or via a tragedy such as that which occurred on September 11. One of the major areas of concern would be that which was addressed in respect to the News Media. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Universally Yours,

Rev. Chris Lowe, Sr.,DD
