My "Happy New Year" Message

HAPPY NEW YEAR my dear friends and global family:

As we reflect on the passing year and anticipate a fresh beginning in 2013, let us allow our own true essence to shine, as well as embrace one another's inherent Divinity and Innocence. There is a simple solution to a complex multitude of problems. Be kind to one another...Treat others how you want to be treated...Give Unconditional Love freely and be receptive to Unconditional Love...Forgive yourself and others...Let Go of past mistakes. May 2013 usher in a new era based on our Commonality rather than our Differences, our Strengths rather than our Weaknesses, and our Unity rather than our Division. May this (R)Evolutionary Quickening, or Planetary Awakening as One, inspire more people to embrace their divine nature and reflect the qualities they espouse and expect in others. Only through balance of word and deed, will we transcend the hypocrisy inherent in a judgmental society. May the recent planetary shift in Awareness raise the vibrational level and collective consciousness of the masses accordingly to meet the mounting challenges of a rapidly growing population in a self-destructive world of depleting resources. May the prospects of a New Beginning inspire more people to "Be The Change," to help their fellow Earthlings, human or animal, whenever possible, to feel gratitude for what is often taken for granted, and "Pay it Forward" in kind with Love and Compassion for All Sentient Beings... For we are all ONE.
In fact, We are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For.
One World ~ ♥ One Love Eternal ♥

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Wishing you moments of Peace, Love, Light & Laughter every day of your life! I LOVE YOU! ~ Lisa

Blinded by the Light

"Blinded by a stream of light, I rubbed my eyes til my gaze softened and my vision returned...Thundering Silence echoed all around me, glazing over my senses like wax, mind-numbing but beckoning me closer, like the allure of the Sirens' sweet song of seduction. A warm glow engulfed my being and enveloped my soul, cradling me gently like a newborn babe. "Am I awake or am I dreaming?" I heard my Self say. This must be Heaven, I responded. At that moment "I", the Awakened One, separated from my sleep-walking "Self", finally shedding the dream-induced "Ego" that had enslaved me for a thousand life-times in the Matrix of Virtual Reality." ~ © Lisa Pearlman (written on 12/27/12)

Bullying: Apathy Gone Viral (Bystander Apathy Revisited)

Familiarity breeds Contempt, as well as Apathy. Apathy is a chronic, contagious, life-threatening disease that spreads quickly and quietly, a progressive plague of epic proportions, striking fear in the hearts of those few who are immune to the effects of its deadening poison. Like a wild fire in the wind, airborne pollutants spewing haphazardly, so are the infectious germs of Apathy out of control, a conflagration of random mutations, growing and multiplying. Without quarantine or containment, "Apathy Gone Viral" breeds and enslaves the ideal host from which Bullies germinate, infect and feed. An ongoing cycle of recontamination ensures a grim prognosis, as Bullying continues to flourish, thrive and victimize. Like the Phoenix rising forth from the ashes, so is the Bully empowered by the smoldering embers of Apathy. Victims are a natural by-product of Apathy, as well. Whether Bully or Victim, each is grown from the same seed. Apathy is the seed, that mutates into Bully or Victim. Apathy is the germ, that must be eradicated from the environment, that human beings must be vaccinated against, in order to put an end to this horrific epidemic called BULLYING. We must arrest this plague before it claims more hearts, minds and lives of our young, promising leaders of tomorrow and benefactors of the future.

A Few Deep Thoughts on Life

And this too shall pass…
Life is constantly in flux, moving, changing…flow with it…surf the waves, let them shape you but not define you…swim with the ebb and flow of experiences…
The minute you dwell on any one experience, whether good or bad, you get stuck…attachment throws you out of sync with the transitional flow of life…life is a series of moments, do not cling to any one moment just as you do not hold on to any one breath, otherwise you will miss the next breath that comes around, or the next moment. You would literally die if you lingered on one particular breath, interrupting your life flow, your chi, your energy flow, thereby hindering the next breath necessary for life to continue. Be present NOW, focus on each breath or each moment as it occurs, then let it go immediately as you mindfully welcome the next one, fresh and new, as if it were your first, your last, your only…

Does Meditation Have a Place in Education?

Recently I read an article in the Huffington Post about introducing the practice of Meditation into the schools. I think this measure would be the single most important step taken in education to ensure our children enter adulthood as well-adjusted, compassionate, enlightened beings, equipped to face the challenges of a turbulent, fast-paced, rapidly changing world and its uncertain future. Especially with the prevalence of bullying and peer pressure in the schools, negativity is infecting the hearts and minds of today’s youth, tomorrow’s leaders. Meditation is a positive activity that will enable students to rise above the negativity and accept experience for what it is: temporary, fleeting, impermanent…while their essence or core remains calm, grounded and undisturbed. Rather than reacting emotionally they will learn to pause, reflect and respond mindfully. They will become stronger, healthier individuals, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Meditation is not religious or patriotic in any way…it does not represent any socio-economic class, subsection of society or cultural group…it is accessible by and available to everyone equally.

Bath Time!

Where is the Love?

If we don't slow down or stop for a minute, love will seem to pass us by, but in reality it is we who are passing up love in our mad pursuit to do, have and accumulate "things." Love is not a "thing" you can ever possess or stock up on for later. Love is to be felt and appreciated in the Now, in between moments, in the silent gaps between words, the quiet spaces between spontaneous thoughts. The LOVE is always there, you just need to slow down and open your heart to receive it.

Stop Lyin', Stop Frontin', Keep it Real

It is stressful, overwhelming and time-consuming to maintain a falsehood. As the deceiver creates an ever-growing elaborate web of lies to support his prior dishonesty or betrayal, he must keep track of all details, dates, places and names so that he is consistent in his story. He often must backtrack to recount events, taking care to sync all his fabrications so that they corroborate and coincide together like jigsaw pieces to an intricate puzzle. If one odd piece of information does not quite fit, the integrity of the entire charade is at stake. To ensure a steady stream of data that flows smoothly in one direction, he must constantly check his words and actions, remember seemingly trivial matter-of-fact statements he has made in the past, and fill in gaps as his web of lies grows larger. He buries himself deeper and deeper with every word he utters. Eventually he will slip up, perhaps fail to cover his tracks, or maybe spout a verifiable “fact” that can be disproved through research, thereby exposing a weakness or inconsistency in his story. As his carefully crafted web of lies unravels, he frantically makes excuses, changes details, throws accusations, places blame…anything to avoid telling the truth. He desperately back-pedals in hopes of plugging up holes, a futile attempt at damage control. Finally confronted with his lies which have been exposed, he can breathe a sigh of relief, let it go, relax and start over fresh. Any sane man would. Or he can deny the truth and evidence before him, and stubbornly stay on his sinking boat and go down with the ship, claiming a victory that he alone believes in. Such is par for the course for the pathetic case of a Pathological Liar. ~ © Lisa Pearlman 1/3/12

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SHARE!!!!!!!!!

Important A friend of ours became very sick after drinking water left in a car overnight (not cancer) but she was ill for a couple of month. No matter how many times you get this E-mail, Please send it on!!!!  Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!

On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what                                caused her breast cancer.
It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.. 

Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. 
The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue.
So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. 

Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know that just might save us! 
Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic! 

LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!

(This was new to me - Helen)

This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center ... 
No plastic containers in microwaves. 
No plastic water bottles in                                freezers. 
No plastic wrap in microwaves. 

Dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer. 
Dioxins are highly poisonous to cells in our bodies. 
Don't freeze plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. 
Recently the Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. 

He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating food in the microwave using plastic containers...... 
This especially applies to foods that contain fat. 

He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxininto thefood. 

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Pyrex or ceramiccontainers for heating food... You get the same result, but without the dioxin.. 
So, such things as TV dinners,instant soups, etc., should be removed from their containers and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's safer to use tempered glass, such as Pyrex, etc. 

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the styrene foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.... 

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Cling film, is just as dangerous                                when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. 
As the food is nuked, the high heatcauses poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.. 
Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life

Free Your Mind

Expand your mind...free your mind... take it to the limit and beyond...we are all Reality Architects - we create our own reality as we make choices and respond to each moment in life... unfortunately many do not know they possess such power over their life...we must believe our choices make a difference in order to exercise them...we must explore the infinite possibilities inherent in the quantum field of pure potentiality...In reality there are no forms...no edges...no boundaries...no borders...other than those self-imposed by you, ingrained in your mind as self-fulfilling prophecies, the intended result of years of mental slavery, imprisonment in a faulty belief system, a systematic programming of socially desirable traits, thoughts and attitudes... strategically implemented by various social institutions and authority figures during key developmental stages in your life. This indoctrination is aimed at shaping your impressionable, malleable young mind into a mindless, obedient, manageable, and controllable foot soldier...a blind follower dependent on things staying status quo. Fear is especially useful to keep disillusioned people in check...fear paralyzes...fear keeps people down, stuck, immobile so they won't seek change, revolution, improvement or empowerment. That is how society keeps the poor down and stuck in a cycle of helplessness, a life that they accept as their only possible fate. Let go of these self-defeating thoughts, these self-limiting beliefs! Claim the power of choice that is your birthright! Expand your mind...free your mind...take it to the limit and beyond...there are no edges...no boundaries...release yourself from the bondage of mental slavery...it never really existed except in your own mind!
Step outside the box...boxes are merely man-made forms...designed to confine, limit and control...They have edges and boundaries, corners that isolate and limit movement, like on a checkerboard.

In contrast, Circles are symbols of Totality, Source, God, Universe. Circles are inclusive, cyclical and divine...Just like the Earth is round, so is the circle of life...Circles are natural...From the moment of conception to the moment of birth we incubate in circularity...the uterus, the amniotic sac, the womb, the fetal position. Upon emergence from our mother's warm, soft womb we are thrown into a cold world full of human constructs of square form...cribs, beds, houses, square-footage, square plots of land, town squares, doors, windows, walls, ceilings, school desks, closets, books, newspapers, magazines, notebooks, TV, movie screens, bureaus, shelves...boxes and more boxes to compartmentalize our lives and our psyche...ending with the man-made box our body is placed in upon our death, lowered 6 feet underground to secure our eternal "resting place," our own personal box to memorialize our life here on Earth. Ironically, death is what frees us, releasing us back into the circle of life, to resume our cyclical journey. The Universe, planets, orbits, cycles of rotation, galaxy patterns...all circles...no edges or angles...no boundary lines delineating separation of nations or planets. FREE YOUR MIND...and the rest will follow!

Let's Start a Revolution

The world needs Change. There is no question about that. The "Whys" are obvious and numerous. We can argue back and forth about the "What" since people's values and priorities may differ based on their quality of life. But the million dollar question that keeps politicians, activists and anyone who truly cares about the state of our planet up at night is "How?" HOW do we affect change? HOW do we implement change of any real substance or staying power (longevity.) To quote The Beatles: "You say you want a Revolution? Well you know, we all want to change the world."
A Revolution does not have to be marked by chaos, violence and power. Silence can be Revolutionary. Love can be Revolutionary. Spirituality can be Revolutionary. We must find peaceful, non-violent means to revolutionize and change things in this world, to change the status quo so as to improve life conditions for anyone living a sub-standard life (i.e. homeless, poverty, no medical care, unemployment, no clean water, hunger etc.) as well as ensure the humane treatment of all God's creatures, man or animal. Remember, the Change Begins With Me and You. An internal revolution of thought and spirit must take place within each one of us before we can make any significant changes affecting the outside world. Each of us operates at a state of consciousness, awakened by our stage of spiritual evolution at the time. Although many of humanity live their life unconsciously most of the time, we, as members of the human race, as human beings, are surely evolving as both enlightened individuals and as a collective consciousness on Earth. Our inner transformation is reflected in the world we live in, through our thoughts, ideas, words, and actions that represent our unity of purpose on a spiritual as well as a global level. The Revolution has begun...get with the program and be a part of One Love - One World. WE are surely the Ones We Have Been Waiting For...

Love is Pure Consciousness

Love is all that is real ... Pure consciousness ... When you tune into the vibrational energy of the Universe you are tuning into the highest vibratory frequency there is ... the same wavelength that Love vibrations travel along ... a continuum of Consciousness ... At this level there is only Harmony - there is only the divine and holy trinity of Love/Universe/Consciousness that exists at this highest vibrational frequency. © Lisa Pearlman 3/28/12 (Photo credit - unknown source on WWW)

Miracle Rising

The fire ravaged the crysalis, interrupting and hastening the quiet transformation going on inside. Slowly new life emerged from the flames, opening its virgin wings for the first time. A survival instinct to “fight-or-flight” precipitated this rude awakening and early metamorphosis. Suddenly a beautiful butterfly burst through the blazing flames, its singed wings initially flapping with fanatic precision, then eventually fluttering gracefully in the wind as it took flight, soaring to unknown and new heights.
