Life can appear as a whirlwind sometimes…and if I let my thoughts pick up and attach and define, I do myself a true disservice.

I’ve been able to observe change, my ego’s attempts to disrupt me even more, and my ability to hold the course of desired peace in my heart.

I am filled with relief, and gratitude, and pleasant surprise, self-awareness, and astounding presence. I believe I have taken a step upward in learning, i.e., upward in the vertical(spiritual) dimension, as against a traditional effort in the horizontal (human) dimension. I have made a conscious decision to hand over the reins and allow my Deep I to lead me. For those readers who are followers of Eckhart Tolle, you will understand what I mean here.

My understanding and spiritual progress is within me and that’s where it belongs.  There doesn’t have to be testament to the intricacies of my process.

It would seem I have created a conundrum or a contradiction; however, I’m merely trying to exemplify what a satisfying experience it is to hold inside myself the ‘meat and potatoes’ of my spiritual progress as I’m writing this blog, yet I want others to also know that it is occurring. I want to give others hope if they have been searching for relief in their own lives and have yet to receive it that it does come and at precisely the right time…CONTINUE IN FAITH.

Now more than ever I intend to keep my own counsel with the understanding that to explode all to the outside does in fact have a diluting effect to a point.  I’m feeling my strength impacting me within and it’s accompanied with a silent understandng that ego must stand down.

I hope this blog can be helpful.

Blessed Be.  To All Be Blessed.

Life Is Full of Circles.

Come October 28th, and I’ll have lived in my forever home for a whole year already.  I can hardly believe this!

I remember saying to myself and others, ‘I know there’s lots of work to be done in that house, and I probably won’t be doing as much as I did in the house I’m leaving…’. Well, my thinking and doing have changed dramatically!  I’ve taken on some projects, completed them just fine, and with this confidence, I’m planning to tackle painting the interior of the house.  I just finished measuring the rooms to figure out how much paint I’ll need!! Yes, at my ripe age of 85, I’ve come to the conclusion that indeed, where there’s a will, there is a way.  And coupling  this with the knowledge that I’ll work at my own pace, I have no concern about the endgame.  I wrote in the blurb on the back of my first book, “This book easily provides a catalyst toward Hope and Renewed Belief in Self and offers uplifting matter-of-fact views from a woman who lives her life with no ‘end game’ in sight.” IT WAS TRUE THEN AND IT IS TRUE NOW!

I recognize that life has come full circle many times in my life.  It’s about starting and finishing things.  It’s about finding solutions and new understanding. It’s about using my strengths in the many ways that strength shows itself. I rely upon my history when I can see the successes and achievements and the times I’ve fallen and gotten back up!  This history propels me forward in trusting myself when I take on anything new.  I KNOW I CAN DO IT – IF THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO DO!

When I was in my twenties, forties, and even sixties, I don’t believe I ever preceded doing something with thoughts of “can I do this?  am I capable?”  I went ahead and moved forward because I wanted to do it.  I feel the same way now.

So, painting the interior of my home may become a saga and that’s just fine.  Another full circle  of my life…and I hope I create many more.

We’ve got your back!  ~Gaya

Was That An OWL I heard?

December 14, 2021 / / Conscious Awareness, Freedom, GAYA, Grace, Gratitude, NOW, Our Essence, Outside of Time, Presence, Silence

That’s what I said early yesterday morning! Can’t remember the last time I heard an owl, that’s for sure.  It brings me pause…undoubtedly there have been myriad things in my lifetime that were so important at the time that simply slipped away because I didn’t capture them.  We’re told “Stop and smell the roses” (or the coffee). Then, there’s this poignant one:  “You’ll never miss your mother ’til she’s gone.”

I’m reminded that everything is notably important at the time!

When I am in the state of conscious gratitude I can list some things that come to my mind.  BUT, as I write this morning,  clearly there is much more specificity to life.  There is an urgency each moment and that’s what living in the NOW is all about.  It’s all these fleeting moments that have made up my life.  I am an artist, after all!  And my amazing life portrait is captured by my eyes only! The thrills are never gone.  The colors never fade. I am the beholder! All of life is special!  As long as I cherish my life, I’ll have no regrets.

I recall a live stream I did many years ago where I used the phrase ‘exalt yourself’.’  We ought honor and exalt ourselves and our existence.  We have such ability to always be the prize in our own lives.  It is an invaluable treasure we discover when we silently realize synchronicity in our lives; when we begin to grasp the broader scope of our Beingness; when life takes on this specialized opportunity of awareness.

I am at the tip of my own iceberg. I realize now there have been so many iceberg tips! Eureka! There’s always something new coming to me.  How on earth can I ever be bored and without wonder? What an appropriate time of year to express JOY TO THE WORLD! … JOY TO MY WORLD!

Listen in the silence, and see in the darkness, no need to question, all is right NOW.  ~ Gaya

The Catcher has Caught the Dream!

September 18, 2021 / / "Going for It", Faith and Trust, Freedom, GAYA, It's all in the Energy, Manifesting our goals and dreams, Outside of Time

We’ve all heard ‘Never say Never’, right?  And too, we’ve all heard ‘Always follow your Dreams’! Well, I’ve done that, and at 84 years old, I am embarking on what I’ll call another journey…one that I’ve dreamed of since I was five years old.  I’ve written about it in this blog from time-to-time as well:  Finding my ‘ranchy thing’.

At 5:15 A.M. Tuesday, August 31st, I drove 341 miles to a smaller town (approx. 25,000 population) in New Mexico, met with my realtor, viewed 6 houses, made an offer on one, came back to Phoenix the next morning, put my house up for sale, sold it that following weekend, and since then have been performing my due diligence bringing this matter together.  Plans are I will be moving to New Mexico on October 28th.  Everything has gone very smoothly…no push and shove.

I found my “DreamCatcher Ranch”!

It seemed like this two-acre spot has been waiting for me.  When I viewed the property online, it felt like it was meant to be mine, and when I saw it that day and walked into the house it felt like home.  The trip certainly was worth it. 

These past many years I have lived a full life, had some wonderful experiences, came through some difficult times too,  and I’ve always held the special place in my heart and mind for the ‘ranchy place’.  I put the dream on hold more than once, and one time actually said, “I’m done looking!”  That was my brain speaking but not my heart.  Recently, when I revved up my motor again, it was quite unexpected, but there was a newfound energy with it.  All of a sudden the pieces began to fit together, and as I wrote above, the events unfolded and I’m here writing about it a short 3+ weeks later!

Interestingly, when I embarked on the move to Phoenix for the final time 30 years ago, my eldest son made the trip with me.  I was so excited to finally get here.  Now, I’ll be riding with my other son with the same excitement to an adjoining Southwestern state…  an expansion of my horizon.  My life is coming full circle, as I see it.  This move isn’t completing me, it is fulfilling me.  It feels so comfortable and I am ready for it.

I hope this message is inspiring to others.  Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.  Experiences are meant to be had through the choices we make for ourselves. Dreams are meant to be fulfilled.

Miracles do happen! I am so grateful for every moment, every NOW.

You had this in you all the time, Kaye.  When you speak of property,

you say, ‘Location, Location, Location’…when you speak of

manifesting your dreams, we say, “Timing, Timing, Timing”.   ~Gaya

Blessed Be. To All Be Blessed.  Stay Safe and Be Well.

 

 

 

 

 

There’s Nothing New Under the Sun.

Birth of Consciousness

 

I can’t write it, nor will I read it, or say it…feel it or think it!  IT all comes from the Universe through us.  From the beginning we have been blessed with prophets, gurus, mentors, knowers, sages…the Holy Information…we still have them walking our earth.  Jesus and Nelson Mandela come to my mind just now.

I think my step mother set such good example for me those many years ago, and it is in these days I’m brought back to her grace and ease and her faith, her exceptional countenance.  She blessed me in so many ways.  It was the best thing my father ever did for me in marrying her and introducing her into my life.  She had that ‘Presence’.

For many years I have accepted spiritual concepts which served me well.  Yet, it is apparent to me now, that when I resonate with a concept, the work begins when I put it into practice.  It is at this time of living the concept that I am beginning to understand…this is very personal work.  It is very holy work. It is work in silence. This work drops the ego at the door, and begins to develop insight and personal application and the outlook is so promising.  Each moment is a gem of experience, without flattery.  It Just Is!

Believing I know something, doesn’t have a permanent place.  It truly is the experience and application which proves the existence of God, Universe, Creator, whatever you choose.  In this process I actually fill up with IT.  The sharp edges are turned, and I receive the ‘Peace which passeth all understanding’ from time-to-time.  It comes in small moments of recognition along with joy. There is an understood  affirmation from within.

I know I am grateful for everything.  There is nothing original.  Be good to yourself and others.  Be kind.  Love what is all around us. This  really keeps it simple, doesn’t it?  There is no need to complicate our lives with input from the outside.  We have all the peace and the way to find more from within ourselves.  Experience life consciously. There is much to be said of Walking in Faith.

Blessed Be.  To All Be Blessed.  Be Safe and Stay Healthy.

There is so much personal power,  from thoughts to choices to experiences.

You create the life you have.   ~Gaya

 

 

TIME Gets Away From Me When I Live In The NOW!

January 26, 2021 / / "Going for It", Awareness, GAYA, Gratitude, Outside of Time

I can’t believe it!  I just realized I’ve gone almost a whole month without writing something for this blog!  How could this happen?  One would think with all the time I have on my hands, there’d be plenty of it to offer up something of me…after all, as with all of us, we have been secluded in our homes much more than usual due to the pandemic, and sometimes TV becomes our friend for noise and activity outside our thoughts, doesn’t it?

Our thoughts:  We are left to our own devices then.  We bring up subjects, some we mull over, some we dismiss, we make all our own resolutions without counsel, and we move through the day at our own pace.  Nothing much makes demands upon us, except perfunctory things like appointments,  grocery shopping, gassing up the car, laundry, etc.   I just summarized my own ‘schedule’!

Solitary confinement is what we are in if we aren’t very mindful of including the outside world while we’re living.    I don’t have many friends, and I take advantage of speaking on the phone with them, or we chat online through Zoom, or video chat, or Skype.

What’s important for me is my spiritual practice.  At this time of my life, peace and contentment and feeling self-fulfilled is uppermost in my own mind.  Awareness, spiritual clarity and understanding is key for me to achieve what I think is important to my wellbeing and enjoying the privilege of living my life.

I live in the NOW, and frankly, there seems to be lots of activity happening all the time if I keep on keeping on, i.e., doing what presents to me through whim or immediate plan as I direct my attention and intention to the NOW In TODAY.

Yesterday is a perfect example of how a day can be ‘complete’, living in the NOW.  I’ve been planning for my tax preparation procedure, and still hadn’t received the $600 from the government.  I assumed I’d have to claim it in my taxes. Lo and behold, it was in my mail!  Yippee, I can pay down my credit card!  Our weather has been cold, windy and rainy…very windy…but I decided to trek to the bank to deposit the funds. Whoa!  As I was driving, it wasn’t long before winds and rain became fierce, and though it isn’t far to my bank, I was grateful to get there without incident.  I went to the drive-through, and was told I had to be let into the bank for the transaction.  Really?  NO ONE goes into a bank anymore without permission?  I didn’t know this, as I haven’t had the need until now to go into a bank for service.  So, in I go, and while there, lights flickered on and off, and some people came into the bank to get out of the weather…they were quickly turned out into the weather!  Amazingly, I also heard that a tree had fallen somewhere in the drive-through area and that cars were unable to move away…I HAD BEEN SAVED FROM THIS!

Driving back home in the fierce weather, stop signs were off, and I began to worry I wouldn’t be able to get into my garage…no electricity.  As I drove closer to my house, I saw street lights were on, and thankfully in my area the electricity was still on…HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!

So, what’s the purpose of telling this story?  There are so many blessings inside the blessings!  I was in a car and had an electric garage door opener that I was worrying about,  Not to mention  I had shelter from the horrendous weather, had received the money and was able to transact my business relatively easily, and I hadn’t been struck by a fallen tree!

So, today is another day.  Go figure what’ll be in store.  Now I see how easy time gets away from me when I’m so busily trying to deal with what all presents Now and AGAIN and AGAIN.

Being ‘in the thick of it’ ,  making your choices as you

enjoy the privilege of living your life, allows you to

‘spin’ a self-fulfilling  journey of all the newness that keeps on coming.   ~  Gaya
