It’s All a Gift…

Cornwall_Maze

“ Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.” ~ Mary Oliver

It’s ALL a gift. Shadow/Light. Yin/Yang. The journey of this life experience is never a straight line on level ground. (How boring would that be anyway?) When we honor the ride through dark nights of the soul; through pain, grief, fear, sorrow and weeping or whatever else arises in the moment… maybe, just maybe we can also allow ourselves to enjoy and appreciate the shadow for what it is — an integral part of the whole. Unwrapping the gift of darkness allows light to get in.

Letting Go of Your Story

New MuTube video about becoming freer and lighter by letting go of the pictures and stories in your mind.

“Dropping the Mind Stories”

There Are No Original Ideas

flower_of_lifeThere are no original ideas or creations. They are only ‘original’ or ‘unique’ in the sense that we make the intangible tangible (or so we think/perceive) manifest through our individual mind and physical self. And like a fingerprint, there is only one ‘us’ in the physical relative sense.

The Reality is that we are recycling stations. We recycle ideas, thoughts, words, concepts, theories, philosophies, art… We may edit it, bundle it together, or shine it up in a way we think is unique or original, but that is just an illusion.

We are simply sharing our inner world with our outer world in every moment and ‘vice versa’… recycling what we perceive, think, see, know, and what we have always known and will always know in it’s various images, forms, shapes and syllables.

And so it goes… ad infinitum. – mu

Mu Comment / Marianne Williamson Reply

lightbody-yin-yangMarianne Williamson: Okay, I want to read to you an email that I just got here, which is interesting. It’s a woman who says:

Mu says: Just a comment here. I hear so many people playing weak. Playing small. Playing a victim as if it’s all out of their control. I’ve been there and I’ve done that in the past. But I’ve learned that the greatest knowledge, peace, and strength lies in knowing – really knowing, that we are so much bigger than we think. We are bigger than our mind. Bigger than our ego. Bigger than food, bigger than any addiction. We do not have to believe these stories that are not even really true. It is just the mind and ego avoiding the present moment. Let go of the stories and the pictures in the mind that are other than our Divine Nature. It’s easy. It is just a choice. When we recognize our Divine Nature, we no longer play small, weak, or less than who we truly are. My prayer is that everyone sees and makes this connection. It is just a decision. Setting in motion what we might call a miracle. A miracle we create ourselves. Blessings, healing and love to all. Thank you.

Marianne: Marti! Thank you so much! Boy that was good. That was great. Also, you’re a good writer darling. That was really cool.

So… as Marti just said, it’s funny because I was just going to say to [seminar participant’s name], you know these stories that we have, like you know… ‘I was adopted…’ or ya know whatever the story is… “my parents did this…” anything before in the past… anything that was other than the love that we gave and the love we received, was as exactly what Marti just said, it was just a story. And when Marti says, just change your mind and get out of it…. you know I understand that mind that says, “Oh it’s not that simple”, but ya know what guys, on a certain level it is.

Because in any moment, ya know, I love that when some people talk about the Bible…when they talk about Jesus and the greatest story ever told. The greatest story ever told is the story of us becoming the people that we’re capable of being. And that’s what that story is. The story of the birth of the true Self. Fathered by God and mothered by our humanity. Sometimes people say why do you call God He? The use of the traditional Judeo-Christian language is in the CIM and that’s why I use it. In the Eastern religions they talk about the yin and the yang, and the yin is the feminine earth principle and the yang is the masculine sky principle. It’s very fascinating because to the extent to which you call God He, the human soul is She. And I said earlier in the call, it’s not that food or anything else can’t fill up the hole inside you; it’s there is no hole inside us. There is no hole inside us when we allow ourselves to realize that which is impregnating us spiritually every moment, and that is the Spirit of God. And when we in our mortal selves – in our bodies, in our mortal selves, allow ourselves to be penetrated as it were by Spirit, and make that connection, then something happens. We’re in a different place within ourselves, and as we stand within that different place within ourselves, moment by moment by moment, and yes it takes practice, then all the physical self will do is simply manifest that. Because our thoughts are creating and recreating the physical body every moment.

Okay, we’ve got [seminar participant’s name] on the phone… Did you just hear the email I read from Marti about giving up our stories? (A: No.) Okay, so you were adopted, and you recently found your family…”

Let Go of the Stories

969206_223880034433500_981849729_n I made a comment during a recent Q&A with Marianne Williamson in her 4-week online seminar called ‘Divine Alignment of Body and Soul’. It was a very spontaneous decision to write and submit this comment regarding holding onto ego/mind stories that do not serve us, ‘raise’ our level of consciousness or well-being, or lift us out of limited ideas about who we are and what we are capable of BEing.

I have observed how many, if not most people – in this case, ones who had created body issues for themselves, also seem to have a strong attachment to a negative narrative running in their mind – a ‘story’ or ‘stories’ related to their history or some type of experience, ‘trauma’, or set of circumstances ‘outside’ of themselves. As if something external was/is responsible for our thoughts, choices, addictions, and unhealthy or unloving behaviors towards ourselves and/or others. This type of thinking and ‘victim consciousness’ is what Caroline Myss calls “woundology”. I was hearing and reading about a lot of woundology-speak from participants during the seminar, so I wanted to briefly raise the topic (and share the transcript of the excerpt here), because I know that for most who think and speak in woundology stories, it is an unconscious, habitual, pattern that reinforces the ‘wound’, trauma’, behavior and thinking. I also know that something wonderful happens, and a shift occurs on a mental and deep cellular level once we recognize our very own ‘Divine’ Nature’. Everything changes. Everything.

Here is the planetmu MuTube video of my comment and Marianne’s words of wisdom: http://youtu.be/6ZMP3L6lKqM

Always Remember…

magical-lotusAlways Remember…

You are a worthy human being. Not for what you do or don’t do… or how you do it.

Not for what others think of you, or who they might want you to be. Just for simply BEing alive.

You don’t need to please anyone to be worthy of love. Just BE who you are.

Always remember…

You are so much more than just a mind and body. You are miraculous. The one infinite source of everything that is made manifest through you.

BE the pure love that you really are… that you were before the conditioning, before you were smothered by the weight and folly of the physical world.

Liberate yourself of ego baggage. Let it go and BE free. BE who you were before the moment of conception… before the moment of arrival… pure unconditioned Life en potentia.

Always remember…

You are not alone.

You are connected to everything and you are everything.

You are love and you are loved.

Always remember… who you really are and just BE that.

Mind-Body Healing and the Placebo Effect

20030217_400Can we affect the outcome of our health, and illness, when we energize the powers of healing within ourselves?

“There is solid evidence that the course of a disease in general is affected by emotional distress…Thus, we as doctors may begin to emphasize treatment of the patient as a whole as well as the disease from which the patient is suffering” (Simonton, Getting Well Again, 28)

World-renown Oncologist and founder of the Simonton Research Institute and Simonton Center, Dr. O. Carl Simonton said that the “most powerful healing tool” he had to offer his patients was how to use the mind to heal – such as the Silva Method and “imagery therapy” for cancer. Dr. Simonton was trained by

A Man Named Jose Silva

Jose Silva speculated that if most illnesses are caused by the mind, it is extremely likely that most illnesses can be reversed by the mind. By healing your mind, your emotional state, and changing your thought patterns, you can create physical well-being.

Silva Stunned Crowds of People with Demonstrations Showing Instantaneous Mind-Body Healing

“Silva would begin his mind-body healing classes by requesting a volunteer. In front of hundreds, Jose would first guide the volunteer into a healing brain state and then hypnotize him or her. Thereafter, he’d announce that the whiteboard marker in his hand was actually a red hot poker. Then he would press the marker against the volunteer’s hand, and instantly, a blister would form.With the audience in shock, Silva would then tell the volunteer that he could heal the wound in seconds. Thereafter, he would proceed to put his hand on the wound, and the blister completely disappeared within seconds.”

 In Jose Silva’s own words: “…For instance, I was testing an individual at one time, for positive hallucination. Positive hallucination means that the person would experience more than was actually present in the environment. Here is how I did it:

Fooling the body

I took my subject to a deep theta level. Even though he was deeply hypnotized, he had his eyes open and was watching me. Then I told him that I was going to touch him with a red hot iron. I picked up a piece of stainless steel with a pair of pliers, and touched the back of his hand with it. Even though the piece of stainless steel was not hot, when I touched him with it, he screamed. He felt the burn. He felt the heat…he experienced a positive hallucination…he was sensing more than what was there. The piece of stainless steel was still at room temperature. Not only did he feel the pain, his body responded as if it has been burned. Ninety percent of the subjects you do this to develop a little red spot, little red dot, as if they were burned with boiling water, or something like that. Ten percent develop a blister. I was lucky to see that phenomenon. My subject developed a blister. I asked myself, “What happened here? I didn’t burn him. Did I fool the healing process, the natural healing process of the body, to send healing chemistry to a spot that did not need it?”  I realized that that’s exactly what happened. My suggestion caused his healing mechanism to build a blister, build new skin under it, and get rid of that burned skin. But the skin was not actually burned. Then I wondered, “Could we send in extra healing chemistry to accelerate the healing process? Of course you can do that. If you can do one, you can do the other. No question there.”

The Mind-Body Connection: What Big Pharma Doesn’t Want People To Know…

Why? They will lose billions and billions of dollars each year. Big Pharma exists and runs on fear and intimidation. Big Pharma perpetuates the Big Lie that if people don’t take the toxic pharmaceutical medications that are prescribed by their allopathic doctors, they will not, and cannot heal or get better.

What Big Pharma Is Afraid Of…

“Placebos Are Getting More Effective: Drug Makers are Desperate to Know Why.” [Placebo pills are] “suddenly overwhelming promising new drugs and established medicines alike… Ironically, Big Pharma’s attempt to dominate the central nervous system has ended up revealing how powerful the brain really is. The placebo response doesn’t care if the catalyst for healing is a triumph of pharmacology, a compassionate therapist, or a syringe of salt water. All it requires is a reasonable expectation of getting better. That’s potent medicine.”—Wired Magazine

Isn’t It Ironic?

Each and every experimental drug must be tested against a placebo in order to earn FDA approval. It’s true. Pharmaceutical manufacturers have to prove their pills work at least as well as a placebo. It is the ‘standard‘ against which chemical and toxic medications are measured.

In her book, Mind Over Medicine, Dr. Lissa Rankin discusses the placebo effect and writes in her blog “we hold within us self-healing superpowers that are stronger than any chemotherapy and more effective than any surgery.”

Yes, the mind is a powerful creator. It can heal the body. It can reverse symptoms and illness and create health. We can affect the outcome of our health, and illness.
