Listen and Learn

Affirmations:
I choose to believe what is inspiring and encourages the best in us.
I listen with an open-mind and believe what is trustworthy.
I learn who and what to trust by listening within.
I watch, listen and learn to what brings more love and joy and peace.

Listen and Learn!

I have the privilege of hearing many people, young and old, believe what others say.
I notice that many believe what they read, see and hear without checking the facts.
Our youth are often misguided by what is shown on u tube, in movies and from books.
We all must begin to check ourselves for what we choose to believe.

Believing is seeing!
We have often said “seeing is believing”.
Yet now we actually sell, teach, and proselytize what to believe.
While we have many resources to check facts, we often bypass in favor of just being convinced.

When we believe someone or something, we have a tendency to prove ourselves right.
The mind convinces us to seek supporting evidence without regard to rational research.
Perhaps we are ignorant, gullible and lazy about looking further for the actual evidence.
Consider encouraging yourself and your children to questions what they believe and buy.

Scientists are continually looking further and finding more than they knew existed.
Children believe in fairy tales, Santa Claus and unlimited amounts of money from parents.
Young adults sometimes believe visioning and willing for what they believe is enough.
Our culture seems to believe using credit and then bankruptcy will be OK for them.

Where is the rational and practical teaching and behavior of times before media?
How can we encourage asking questions before we believe someone or something.
Are we able to discern a lie, a half truth, a made up fact or a something made to scare us?
Recently a smart fifth grader tried to convince me with “facts” that “zombies” are real.

What does it take for you to buy a commercial?
How do you judge who to believe?
Who do you know what you can trust?
When everyone is preaching their own beliefs, what will you believe?

Facts are facts.
Beliefs are beliefs.
Truth is in the mind of the beholder.
Everyone will tend to convince themselves of what they want to believe.

How do you find or create what you believe?
What is the purpose for the beliefs you hold?
When do you question and what do you seek?
How can you feel safe and confident when the facts change?

My choice is to listen with an open mind.
My recommendation is to learn from everything.
My work is to forgive what is not helpful or inspiring for me.
Your work is to decide how you want to use what you think, hear and believe you see.

These are interesting times to learn to trust yourself with your own inner Guidance.
Loving you,

Healing Our Projections => Seeing Only Wholeness

3.   If I believe I am my past, then I believe you are your past.
4.   Believing in my past is to see and live it over again in all I see and do and am.
5.   Believing in your past is to remember it and continue to blame you for it.
6.  The more I feel guilty about my past, the more I place blame on you.
7.  All anger is my guilt projected onto others.
8.  To forgive my past is to release it.
9.  To release is to see it no more.
10.As I release my past, I release others from my projected guilt and self-judgment.
11. As I see myself whole, I see wholeness in others.
12 .As I heal my guilt about past mistakes, I heal my fear of the future.
13. To be in the present is to heal (erase) the past.

15. In this present moment, there is only Love for ourselves, each other and all that is.
