I'm not sure what breed the dog was but it was black and huge. The dog seemed really happy on his lead. I watched them cross over the road and both of them were in perfect harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man and his dog reminded me of how I trained my dog/consciousness. Let's look at one example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I trained my dog/consciousness that my body was under the law of nature. I trained my dog to believe that sickness, old age and death are part and parcel of life. I trained the dog to believe that only the right supplements and diets would make me whole. I trained the dog to believe that only the right kind of foods can make me healthy. I trained my dog that if I got sick I could only get better by taking pills and potions either prescribed by my doctor or from the chemist. At that time the dog and I were in perfect harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I experienced a paradigm shift and realised that my identity is Love-Light and that Love-Light is the substance and source of all, that was when all hell broke loose. Why? Because the dog was accustomed to the old set of commands and refused to obey the new commands of Love-Light. I had to be persistent and constantly give the dog new commands that are in harmony with my identity as Light. When I let the dog know who is Top Dog, she's only too happy to comply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just yesterday while I was watching television, the satellite started playing up again and not receiving any signals. My mother said it does that because of the weather. I read it as a perfect sign that the dog needed the appropriate command. I thought: "I am Light; Light is the Source." I visualised Light rays streaming from me to the television. After repeating that command several times the satellite started receiving and showed perfect pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some more commands I have used to retrain my dog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Light.&lt;br /&gt;Light is all in all.&lt;br /&gt;Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;Light is the Source.&lt;br /&gt;Light, Light, Light!&lt;br /&gt;I am receiving Light now!&lt;br /&gt;I am flooding my being with Light now!&lt;br /&gt;Light in every moment.&lt;br /&gt;The universe is under the Law of Love-Light.&lt;br /&gt;The universe is within me.&lt;br /&gt;The universe is my ally.&lt;br /&gt;My function and the universe are one.&lt;br /&gt;My function and my body are one.&lt;br /&gt;Only One exists!&lt;br /&gt;This is My Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's another prayer I find very useful in training the dog about the Law of Love-Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.share-international.org/ARCHIVES/M_teachings/Mt_prayer-newage.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;A Prayer for the New Age&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I am the creator of the universe.&lt;br /&gt;I am the father and mother of the universe.&lt;br /&gt;Everything comes from me.&lt;br /&gt;Everything shall return to me.&lt;br /&gt;Mind, spirit and body are my temples,&lt;br /&gt;For the self to realize in them&lt;br /&gt;My supreme being and becoming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;It takes patience, persistence, and a lot of TLC (tender loving care) to retrain my dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good dog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Please note this prayer is for Self-Realisation.

See &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/using-gifts-i-have-been-given.html"&gt;Using the Gifts I Have Been Given&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Consciously Feed the Atoms of Your Being&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;a message from &lt;a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/spiritual-entities/god"&gt;God&lt;/a&gt; channeled by &lt;a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/yael-and-doug-powell"&gt;Yael and Doug Powell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, 23 July, 2008 (posted 4 October, 2008)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Beloved ones, I Am with you. I Am singing to you through every spirit of Nature and breathing out the song of life on the wind. Every bit of it is the movement of the living River of Light and Life that is truly your spiritual food. So, whether this food comes into your being as beauty or comes into your being as Light, it must reach deep within and ignite your deep remembrance that I Am the source of everything and that all life is part of this hologram, including every atom of your physical being - which of course you are aware is not physical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything that you are and need is flowing into you through your heart and comes from the eternal source of your being which of course is Me. So your work that is before you because you choose to transform the world is to re-instate the dominion of the Light in every atom and electron of your being and especially every atom and electron that make up your physical body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until every atom is once again held by you in the circle of your conscious Love, then all is not in alignment with the perfect flow of life I Am, for you are meant to have dominion over all outwardly moving things that are carriers of My Love. That is what life in the world is. It is the extension of My Love here and Now. Therefore you must become aware on every level of your being where it is you truly dwell and what has priority. The priority is the living flow of the spirit that is the exhale of My breath, that is the great flush of orgasmic ecstasy as My Love is given forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the open embrace of the extension of My Love that is meant for every being and it is the shared living breath of the spirit as one life undivided. So, as you open your heart and reconnect to the Moment of Creation with Me, open your being and your body as well to the recognition of what has been caused by the reversal and how the truth of God I Am mends duality, mends the rift in the fabric of the universe and brings all life back into the breathing and living circle of God I Am as the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for you in your life personally, this means to feed yourself from this living breath. Take it in and consciously direct it and know that consciousness is always the key between being an essentially old world human being in your responses to the world - and being a being of unlimited freedom, free to be the God I Am present here on Earth in the living flow of the Now. The eternal instant where I Am providing everything you could ever need or want. It bubbles up from within you through the open doorway of your heart and brings forth your own orgasmic shout of the movement of life, Love and consciousness going forth through your heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you speak the words of power, "I Am God, I Am," and as you feel the flow, the energy of life, you know that you are capable co-creators and you are naming your world "whole and perfect" now. So take time every day to nourish and replenish your body and to recognize it as a community of Twin Flame hearts. Pull yourself deeply into the center to be the vehicle, the ever open heart through which I love the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every breath breathed consciously returns you to a power point, a source of this streaming Love, an awakened consciousness of yourself as the living Christ heart that by loving your inner world free, frees the world to reflect it. So if you choose to listen to the voice of My living spirit and let Me show you anew each day, you will become fully present in the reclaiming of your life as God and as the pure expression and extension of God's heart sent to embrace the world and to be the expression of change, of transformation and Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is up to you, beloved ones, to all of you, to retrain the atoms of your body to recognize their cosmic life, for just like you, they have become entranced with the dream and believe themselves part of something physical. So you must take charge once again of that which is missing in your being in the circle of your Love. Feed them the truth every day, every moment that you can. Breathe in this glorious life force and feed them just as I feed you, and show them their Real identity as part of this living and glorious whole, taking nourishment from the River of Life and regenerating it each Now Moment in glorious perfection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You then go forth to be the Twin Flame hearts in service to all Creation, committed for the moment to serving the awakening of the world of duality. So as you breathe in this Light and you awaken to the nuances of this Light, take it in not only for yourself but for the community of Love that is your being and begin to recognize yourself as an unlimited being of Light that is not captive by dreams of limitation but is ready always to take flight in the Real upliftment and joy of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you breathe in this Light and take your nourishment through your heart and bathe daily in the River of Life, accepting full God consciousness, you develop the communion with your being that is exactly as my communion with you - for I look within myself and I see you alive and conscious and Real as the center of My being, My heart, and I love you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just so must you recognize these atoms as communities of Twin Flame hearts who may have been temporarily mesmerized, looking outside of your Real self for that which you call identity or life. As you train these precious life forms, these hearts that need to live on Love - then, you retrain the atoms and electrons of your body as well as re-attune your heart and awaken yourself to the pure vibration of unlimited Light and Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could speak to you hour upon hour but nothing would touch your heart like experience, like recognizing that you too are divine parents and that the atoms of your being are the children of your true nature and the representatives of your great heart. You can take on your role as divinity with a glad glad heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So drink from the River of Life and quench this deep longing, this thirst and feed yourself from the table of life and from the substance of this pulsing Love. As you do, you will know vitality like a blessing you never imagined before and the atoms of your being will begin to vibrate at the frequency of the New World and everything will show forth its beauty as all around you life sings and the Light is revealed in all things as it is revealed in Me. Every moment drink Me in. Every moment eat this Love, and let it truly be for you the feast that it is, as I feed you from the table of God and provide more than you could ever eat, to be the living "en-conscious-ment" of God I Am on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Circle of Light have been given the gift of the Messages from God to bring forth to humanity through Yael and Doug Powell.

All the heroes express different kinds of superpowers. In one scene, one hero sends another hero to another reality. When that hero wakes up he realises he's somewhere arid. It turns out this particular hero can read minds. As he's lying there feeling thirsty he notices a tortoise. The tortoises tells him he can find water in the roots of a plant close by. The hero pulls out the root and dribbles the few drops of water on his tongue. Suddenly a man appears and asks him why he's been speaking to the tortoise. He offers the hero some water from his flask and tells him to get up and walk with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the tortoise did mean well advising the man how to get water. That was the tortoise's way of giving love, however, his version of love was limited to his tortoise mentality. It would have taken ages for that hero's thirst to be quenched. It was only when he drank from the man's flask i.e. a bigger consciousness that he felt strong enough to walk. If the hero had been in touch with his true self he wouldn't have been fighting with the other hero in the first place and find himself in that predicament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are now many people warning about what is to come and how we should all be very afraid. Before I take someone's warning on board, I examine whether it resonates with the principle of Love that I believe in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the ONE Love-Light and True Self that I believe in speaking through this messenger?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would the True Self disseminate messages of doom and gloom or of hope and inspiration?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this messenger merely another tortoise passing on his message from his vantage point, albeit of good intention?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why I believe it's so important to use discernment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note the messages I am sharing on my blogs are based on my realisations of Self as I am experiencing them and as they are revealed to me. I don't claim to speak for everyone nor are they meant to instruct anyone. Readers are invited to seek their own truth and direct connection with ONE Light in all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace and love to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/using-discernment.html"&gt;Using Discernment&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/trusting-in-my-path-taking-dog-for-walk.html"&gt;Trusting in my Path; Taking the Dog for a Walk&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-being-lighthouse.html"&gt;On Being a Lighthouse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-4803180346586152171?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4803180346586152171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4803180346586152171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/tortoise.html' title='The Tortoise'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-397337351647645261</id><published>2008-10-03T12:09:00.022+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T14:22:56.252+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Awareness Begins and Ends with Me</title><content type='html'>During my walk I noticed this girl and her family walking towards me. The girl had her head down and didn't seem to be aware I was approaching. Just as we were about to collide, I stepped aside and let her through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I could have told the girl off for not paying attention. What would be the point of that? It is my responsibility to remain aware and step out of "harm's" way not expect someone else to be aware for me. When I've had "accidents" I have reversed the effects by quickly waking up from that particular "dream."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is instead of expecting people to change so I feel better, I would rather just change within? I believe all that I am experiencing are within me anyway. When I make the adjustment within, that which seems to be outside changes or my behaviour changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, if a neighbour is playing loud music, instead of banging on their door and demanding them to turn the music down, I go within and become aware of my peace and bless the neighbours within me with peace. My neighbours are either going to turn the music down or I'm not going to be bothered by the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day on the bus some teenagers were playing loud music behind me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to their version of music. Before I took any action, I did the work within where I blessed everyone within me with peace. When my friends still persisted with their loud music, I asked the boy sitting behind me to turn it down and he did without any fuss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are people complaining about how they're scared of being around teenagers because of their attitude. Incidentally, I've just noticed an &lt;a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/20081003/tuk-caning-back-on-education-agenda-dba1618.html"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; on Yahoo News claiming one fifth of school teachers want the cane brought back in schools to discipline unruly children. Is this really the answer? I believe if society wants peaceful and loving citizens they could start by being aware of the peace and love within themselves. Then that reality will be expressed around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awareness begins and ends with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/mind-reader.html"&gt;Mind Reader&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/using-gifts-i-have-been-given.html"&gt;Using the Gifts I Have Been Given&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-favourite-channel.html"&gt;My Favourite Channel&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/its-all-in-my-head.html"&gt;It's All in My Head&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/cause-or-effect.html"&gt;Cause or Effect?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/consideration_04.html"&gt;Consideration&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/be-love-you-wish-to-experience.html"&gt;Be the Love You Wish to Experience&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/power-of-love.html"&gt;The Power of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/06/love-is-all-there-is-detonator.html"&gt;The Love is All There Is Detonator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-397337351647645261?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/397337351647645261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/397337351647645261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/awareness-begins-and-ends-with-me.html' title='Awareness Begins and Ends with Me'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6114732621678875063</id><published>2008-10-03T10:40:00.017+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T12:59:47.026+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Using Discernment</title><content type='html'>In this age where we're constantly being bombarded with information, I believe it's important to use discernment at all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as well I have within me what I refer to as my Bullshit-o-meter, which I use to scan news items, articles on the Web, emails, etc that have been brought to my attention. By bullshit I'm referring to false beliefs that are attempting to distract from the truth of Love's allness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I read the piece, I examine the pendulum on my Bullshit-o-meter to tell me the level of bullshit in the piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the pendulum stays the same, it's the same old bullshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the pendulum swings to the right, it's even more bullshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the pendulum swings to the left, it's likely to be filled with gems that resonate with who I am being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also very much aware that just because something contains bullshit doesn't mean it's not always worthy of my attention. Put another way, the Light that I AM is in all things including bullshit. This is when I listen to my heart. Sometimes my heart inspires me to transform the bullshit into manure from which springs out a healthy harvest. Other times my heart tells me to walk away and let the bullshit attract flies who might appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, it's all good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessing all bullshit and bullshiters with love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/being-led-up-garden-path.html"&gt;Being Led Up the Garden Path&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-good-can-come-out-of-this.html"&gt;Only Good Can Come Out of This&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/transcending-duality.html"&gt;Transcending Duality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/following-my-blueprint-revisited.html"&gt;Following My Blueprint - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all-part-2.html"&gt;Love is All in All - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/listen-to-your-heart.html"&gt;Listen to Your Heart&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-real-home.html"&gt;My Real Home&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/its-either-love-or-bullshit.html"&gt;It's Either Love or Bullshit!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6114732621678875063?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6114732621678875063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6114732621678875063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/using-discernment.html' title='Using Discernment'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-3952233850106621791</id><published>2008-10-02T15:36:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-02T16:26:20.548+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mind Reader - Part 2</title><content type='html'>I love it when I wonder about something and the answer just drops on my lap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was chilling out at home, I was inspired to read some verses from &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvPsal.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=103&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Psalm 103&lt;/a&gt; but I couldn't remember how it started. I could have looked it up but it felt like way too much effort. I was chilling out, remember?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had also been wondering about an evangelist whose book I had quoted, but I couldn't remember his name. It will have to keep till next time I'm on the Internet then I'll look up the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my mother came home I heard her muttering to herself "Bless the Lord O my Soul and all that is within me bless his holy name."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was exactly the first line of the Psalm I had been too lazy to look up. Way to go, Mind Reader!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then my mother turned the television to a religious programme and guess who was on? The very same evangelist whose name had eluded me earlier - &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham"&gt;Billy Graham&lt;/a&gt;. Mind Reader does it again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was waiting for my bus this morning, I found some sweet wrappers in my bag. Just as I was going to walk over to the bin to dump them in my bus arrived. Bugger! I figured I would find a bin when I got off. The problem with that area of London is there are no bins provided because they are seen as a security risk. When I got off the bus and crossed the road, I noticed a street cleaner with his mobile bin and I was able to dump my rubbish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Mind Reader!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/mind-reader.html"&gt;Mind Reader&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-alerts.html"&gt;Love Alerts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3952233850106621791?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3952233850106621791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3952233850106621791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/mind-reader-part-2.html' title='Mind Reader - Part 2'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-8334385697304892240</id><published>2008-10-01T14:55:00.018+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-01T16:33:09.579+01:00</updated><title type='text'>On Being Given a Head Start</title><content type='html'>The other day at the bookshop I met a man who was born and bred in America but now living in France, just outside Paris. I was curious why he was living in France. Was his wife French? His wife is also American; their two kids were born in America. My friend said he was living in France because he was drawn there. He said he prefers that lifestyle compared to America. My friend said he and his family will have dual citizenship next year. I told my friend that it's important to follow your heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend said he was in London for two days and while he was here he was researching British universities. He said though his kids are still young (13 and 14), they will soon need to decide what path they want to choose and he feels it's his responsibility to guide them as he doesn't want them making the same mistakes he had when he went down the wrong path. He said it can be hard to swap. He said he would prefer that they either attend university in the UK or in France but not in America. He wasn't prepared to pay all that money for an American undergraduate degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was really touched that my friend was already researching universities for his kids and told him so. He said being a parent was very important to him and the most fulfilling role he's ever undertaken. He said even though he realises life doesn't always go according to plan, he wants to give his children a head start. It's then up to them to choose whether they accept his guidance or do their own thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After chatting to my friend about school and universities, I told him I believed everything was going to work out for good. He thanked me for my optimism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe like the American father, Infinite Love has already planned ahead infinite love, joy, wonder, abundance and happiness for all HIS offspring forever, greater than I could begin to imagine or dream of. All I have to do is receive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All things are working out for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-real-family.html"&gt;My Real Family&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-chaos.html"&gt;What is Chaos?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-is-set-in-stone.html"&gt;The Future is Set in Stone&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-gifts.html"&gt;Love Gifts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-alerts.html"&gt;Love Alerts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/secret-of-eternal-youth.html"&gt;The Secret of Eternal Youth - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-heart-is.html"&gt;Where the Heart Is&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/living-by-pee-principle.html"&gt;Living by the P.E.E.

After meeting him I was curious why we'd met at that moment in time. Why not earlier or even later? After I had browsed his website and noticed his latest book "Business Stripped Bare," I realised why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, a friend and I compared notes about our life paths. Both of us realised that even though we're coming from different perspectives, we have both gone through the "stripping process." This is what I've written elsewhere:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"The stripping process is when you lose everything you hold dear i.e. material possessions, health, relationships, career, home, beliefs and you're feeling down and out. It's a time that can feel very insecure and even frightening. Then God, Love, Spirit, your True Self (or whatever Higher Power you believe in) starts moulding you according to HIS will in order that HE can express HIS purpose through you. During that process you get to realise who you truly are. When people go through this process of stripping, their natural reaction is to either try to fix their old relationships and make things work; or they replace everything they've lost with new stuff, new ideas, new people, new career, new home, etc. While it is natural to replace the old with the new, if what you've replaced the vacuum with is not in harmony with your True Self, you're going to end up back to square one because that incongruence will create the same disturbance where you end up losing everything. It is at that point when people come to a place of complete surrender and obedience to the will of Spirit. Then, and only then, can the True Self/Spirit express as each individual."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;So now it makes sense why I was interested in connecting with Richard because, in a way, we're both kindred spirits who have experienced the stripping process from our different vantage points. I'm so glad we made that connection, albeit a brief meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me the global economy is going through a similar process of stripping of the old "order" in order for Spirit economy to emerge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are interesting times!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace be with you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/high-flyer.html"&gt;High Flyer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/surrender-to-love-revisited.html"&gt;Surrender to Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3432446595413927570?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3432446595413927570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3432446595413927570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/10/stripping-process.html' title='The Stripping Process'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1681383093185362702</id><published>2008-10-01T12:29:00.019+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T11:46:28.883Z</updated><title type='text'>Mind Reader</title><content type='html'>I believe all is Mind. Therefore, all things visible and invisible are Mind stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week ago during my Mind bus travel, I noticed a Mind woman reading a Mind book called Mind "Ugly" by &lt;a href="http://www.constancebriscoe.co.uk/"&gt;Constance Briscoe&lt;/a&gt;. Although I've never read the book, I'm aware of what it's about - a woman's memoir of her childhood where she experiences physical and emotional abuse from her mother. Constance is now one of the few black judges in Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time I wondered why the book was being flagged for my attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was working in the Mind library yesterday, a Mind friend who works there came over and asked me if I read a lot of books. I said I do, but there are genres I prefer. He asked if I'd ever read a book called "Ugly" by Constance Briscoe. He said after he read it he attended a talk by the author. My friend said the sequel "Beyond Ugly" is out and was wondering if I knew if the author was going to be speaking anywhere. I told my friend I haven't read the book but I'm aware of what it's about. I did some research on the Web on behalf of my friend but couldn't find any current talks. I told him that as he's already registered with the author's website, I'm sure they'll let him know when the author is speaking next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least now I know why that book was flagged for my attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on my way home, I decided to give some Mind sweets to the Mind security guards in front of the Mind building.

I liked Virgin Media's slogan on their website: "Wherever you live, we're there", which speaks of God's omnipresence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday evening I went to my favourite bookshop, which I haven't been to in a while. I noticed a poster announcing that &lt;a href="http://entrepreneur.virgin.com/author/richard/"&gt;Richard Branson&lt;/a&gt; the billionaire, entrepreneur, businessman and adventurer was going to be signing his latest book in the store. (Richard Branson is associated with "Virgin Media"). I have always admired him from afar and thought it would be lovely to meet him in person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wondered what floor they were going to host the book signing. I presumed it would be on the fifth floor where they usually host events. I don't normally go to that floor. When I headed to the third floor, where I usually find books I'm interested in, I noticed a long queue. So that answers my first question - they're hosting it on this floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wondered if Richard had already started signing his books. It will be interesting to see what he looks like close up. The moment I had the thought I turned round and noticed three men approaching. One of them looked very familiar. It was then I realised it was Richard Branson in the flesh, and he looked exactly as he does on television. While he was chatting to the men around him, I interrupted their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hello, Richard, can I shake your hand?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, of course," he grinned his famous grin and grabbed my hand. "It's lovely to meet you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Me too."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It felt like meeting an old friend. I was so happy my wish had come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grabbed a book from the shelf and headed to the second floor to read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later when I told my mother about meeting Richard Branson, she was amazed I had met him after she'd asked me to research "Virgin Media." She asked me if I'd washed my hand as she wanted to experience Richard's "magic touch." Too late, I already had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes one high flyer to meet another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/like-attracts-like.html"&gt;Like Attracts Like&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/blessings.html"&gt;More about Blessings&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-abundance.html"&gt;What is Abundance?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6021178721697569314?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6021178721697569314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6021178721697569314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/high-flyer.html' title='High Flyer'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-7937042103449412245</id><published>2008-09-30T10:10:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-10T15:00:09.489+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Real Family</title><content type='html'>I was sitting at the bus stop waiting for my bus home. It was taking ages to arrive. I knew there had to be a very good reason why there was this "delay" and I was curious to see how it would unfold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man asked me how to get to his destination and I advised him what bus routes he could use. He was lovely and had such a sweet smile. When his bus arrived and he went to sit upstairs, he waved at me and I waved back at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I waited for my bus to arrive, I hummed the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA"&gt;Abba&lt;/a&gt; song "I Have a Dream", whose video link a friend had posted at a forum earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I have a dream, a song to sing&lt;br /&gt;To help me cope with anything&lt;br /&gt;If you see the wonder of a fairy tale&lt;br /&gt;You can take the future even if you fail&lt;br /&gt;I believe in angels&lt;br /&gt;Something good in everything I see&lt;br /&gt;I believe in angels&lt;br /&gt;When I know the time is right for me&lt;br /&gt;Ill cross the stream - I have a dream&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abba/i+have+a+dream_20002830.html"&gt;I Have a Dream, lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In between humming, I wondered about the delay. Maybe, I should just walk as it only takes about 15 minutes. I noticed an ambulance going up the road the bus I was waiting for usually comes down. Hmmm, I wonder if there's been an accident? Another bus, which usually travels down that road, stopped at the stop. I heard the driver telling a passenger the bus had been diverted. Aha, that answers my question! No point waiting for a bus that's not going to arrive, it's time to walk home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I walked home, I sang "I Have a Dream." At one main road, I was going to jaywalk but each time I tried to cross lots of cars appeared. What's going on? Anyone would think I'm being deliberately delayed or something. Finally, the roads cleared and I ran across. As I was approaching the underground station I noticed this man coming out of it. It was then it all made sense why I had been "delayed"; the Universe had been trying to arrange our meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The previous day my mother received a telephone call from her niece who calls her from time to time to see how she is. After she'd finished speaking to her I said to her, "I was just thinking, mum, how you can be related to people and yet you don't feel very close to them at all. Take your niece, for example. I don't even know her or have any inclination to do so. I feel if you weren't here that would be the end of that connection. On the other hand, there are people I'm not blood related to who feel like my real family."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I know what you mean," mum said. "I forgot to tell you when I went to the doctor's the other day I saw J, the Christian bus driver. He asked me why I was looking so miserable and I told him I had the flu. We were alone on the bus and he prayed for me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's lovely! See what I mean about family? He's not blood related but he cared enough to pray for you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man who had just come out of the underground station was the bus driver who had prayed for my mother. I walked alongside him and said hello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hi there," he smiled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I heard you prayed for my mother the other day. Thank you!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Was that your mama? I didn't realise she had someone close by looking after her. I was so concerned for her and thought she was all alone. I know what it feels like to have the flu and you feel so weak. It's good to have someone to look after you. I wanted to visit but I didn't know where she lived. I've been asking God about her and wondering how she is doing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, your prayer has been answered. I'm here to tell you she's feeling better. Thanks again!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was happy to help as we're family. I've come to realise that we may all worship God through different ways but we're all share the same Father."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are all members of the one body, as Paul* puts it in the Bible," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, the one Spirit."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shared with my friend the conversation I had had with my mother about the difference between blood relation and spirit family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A lot of people see their family as blood relatives," he said. "Everything in the natural comes to an end but our real family in Spirit is forever. That's why when Jesus** was asked who his family was, he said those who are doing the will of the Father are his family ."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before my brother and I parted company we exchanged hugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, I marvelled at how the Universe had conspired to arrange our journeys so that I got to connect with my Spirit brother, and he had his question answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I believe in angels, something good in everything I see."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA"&gt;Abba&lt;/a&gt;, for the timely reminder. Incidentally, "Abba" is the &lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01006d.htm"&gt;Aramaic&lt;/a&gt; word for Father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=183767&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=one+body"&gt;1 Corinthians 12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=4792293&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=mother"&gt;Matthew 12: 46-50&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/real-me.html"&gt;The Real Me&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-chaos.html"&gt;What is Chaos?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/halleluiah.html"&gt;Halleluiah!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/loves-organising-principle.html"&gt;Love's Organising Principle&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/03/living-on-love.html"&gt;Living on Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/one-family-one-surname-called-love.html"&gt;One Family, One Surname called Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/is-blood-thicker-than-water.html"&gt;Is Blood Thicker than Water?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/love-is-forever.html"&gt;Love is Forever&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-is-family.html"&gt;What is Family?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7937042103449412245?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7937042103449412245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7937042103449412245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-real-family.html' title='My Real Family'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1037030281685799416</id><published>2008-09-27T11:56:00.028+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-23T10:57:11.135Z</updated><title type='text'>Using the Gifts I Have Been Given</title><content type='html'>In my sleeping dream, I met this man who said to me, "You are not using all the gifts you have been given."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What gifts am I not using?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The gift of light."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What about sharing who I am through writing? Am I not expressing light through them?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are radiating the Light that you are in those writings, but there is something else you must do, and it's now time for you to focus on doing that."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I could continue quizzing my friend, I woke out of that dream. I didn't have time to ponder over what that dream meant because I heard the Inner Voice speaking to me about the very same topic. (To Self, there's no difference between the waking dream and the sleeping dream). The Voice said it is time to express my nature as Light; to literally be a lightworker by consciously projecting light wherever I am. HE was going to teach me how to express Light in every moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I'm to get into the habit of flooding my whole being with light every single morning and during the day. It's important to see Light as my real "daily bread" and let Light nourish me. It's also important to train my body to be totally obedient to the Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, I am to consciously project light wherever I am in order to dissolve fog-like thought forms that try to conceal the reality of God's presence. Only when the fog has dissipated can one enjoy the sun's radiance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that morning as I was watching television, the satellite started playing up and a notice came up saying no signal was being received. The Voice showed me how to project light to the Source of the "problem". It felt like a laser beam coming from my eyes. The signal returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then I've been religiously radiating light everywhere. Just recently my mother had the flu and I radiated light everywhere. Even though I know my nature as Light that cannot have cold, I started experiencing my throat itching and feeling like I was getting a cold. I continued to flood my consciousness with Light whenever I got the urge and I've been fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for the reminder to use the gifts I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/living-light.html"&gt;Living Light&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/real-me.html"&gt;The Real Me&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/shock-horror.html"&gt;Shock Horror!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/segregation-and-integration.html"&gt;Segregation and Integration&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-is-symphony.html"&gt;Life is a Symphony&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all-part-2.html"&gt;Love is All in All - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-about-gifts-of-love.html"&gt;More about Gifts of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/living-under-grace-revisited.html"&gt;Living Under Grace - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/dog-trainer.html"&gt;The Dog Trainer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/03/use-it-or-lose-it.html"&gt;Use it or Lose It&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-being-lighthouse.html"&gt;On Being a Lighthouse&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/using-gifts-i-have.html"&gt;Using the Gifts I Have&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/dream-of-losing-and-finding.html"&gt;The Dream of Losing and Finding&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/08/real-source-of-energy.html"&gt;The Real Source of Energy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/03/who-are-lightworkers_17.html"&gt;Who Are the Lightworkers?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-1037030281685799416?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1037030281685799416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1037030281685799416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/using-gifts-i-have-been-given.html' title='Using the Gifts I Have Been Given'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-2004422082277843632</id><published>2008-09-26T12:47:00.030+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T13:18:34.235Z</updated><title type='text'>Touch-Typing and Trusting in Love</title><content type='html'>I was speaking to my mother about learning to touch-type. She said after she finished school she attended a technical college where she was taught to touch-type on a manual typewriter. She said their teacher made them master particular keys before they moved on to the next and the next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At least you had the luxury of time to learn," I said. "I actually learned to touch-type in about four hours."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's amazing! How?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I borrowed a friend's typing manual and learned from there."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago, during that era of the dark ages called BI (before Internet), I used to attend a creative writing class one evening a week. One evening while I was chatting to a friend at the course, I told her I wanted to learn to type properly. At the time I could type very fast with two fingers but I felt it was important to learn to touch-type. My friend said she had a typing manual she could lend me, which I could use to teach myself. The next week she brought the manual. I promised to return her manual the very next week. I mean, how hard can touch-typing be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had every intention of starting the course as soon as I went home but I procrastinated. I figured I had seven days to learn, which became six, then five, four, three, two, one, a few hours?...aargh! I went into a mad panic because I had to learn to touch-type that very afternoon so I could return my friend's manual later that evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was whizzing through that manual like someone demented and in no time I'd learned to touch-type: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." When I returned my friend's manual, I told her I could now touch-type and she was dead impressed. I didn't tell her I had only done it at the last minute or I was typing as fast as a snail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning to touch-type was the easy part; putting what I'd learned into practice was another matter. While I typed out my short stories, I was so painfully slow I was really tempted to revert to my old way of two finger typing, but I knew I had to persevere. Not long after, when I went to university, I was able to touch-type my essays. I still wasn't that fast because there was never any incentive to increase my speed. It was only after university when I registered with employment agencies, who were looking for a certain typing speed, that I was motivated to type faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also came to realise that my typing speed increased in direct proportion to how I was feeling about myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I'd been temping for a few years in the commercial and banking sector, I felt it was time to get experience in the legal field. One day I made an appointment to see two recruitment consultants specialising in that area. The first consultant I had an interview with didn't seem that enthusiastic, or we didn't hit it off. When I took the typing test, my speed was around 55 wpm (words per minute). An hour later I went to the next agency and I really enjoyed chatting to that consultant. I was feeling so good that when I took the typing test my typing speed was 90 wpm. The consultant was amazed and so was I. (It's amazing what the power of love can do!) I ended up temping with the agency that had inspired me the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find learning to type is rather like the path of Love/the True Self. There has to be an incentive to not only follow that path, but to trust in Love no matter what. It's very tempting to revert to the old way of two finger typing when the going gets tough, but it's important to persevere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep believing in Love and keep loving who you are. Love never fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-guidance.html"&gt;What is Guidance?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-heart-is.html"&gt;Where the Heart Is&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/second-nature.html"&gt;Second Nature&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/practise-makes-perfect.html"&gt;Practise Makes Perfect&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/flying-by-seat-of-my-pants.html"&gt;Flying by the Seat of Your Pants&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/lost-art-of-bone-idleness.html"&gt;The Lost Art of Bone Idleness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/harmony.html"&gt;Harmony&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/long-live-king.html"&gt;Long Live the King!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/01/constructive-criticism.html"&gt;Constructive Criticism&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/path-of-love.html"&gt;The Path of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/specialist-subject-love.html"&gt;Specialist Subject - Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/practical-spirituality.html"&gt;Practical Spirituality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/point-of-no-return.html"&gt;The Point of No Return&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/12/forever-in-moment-when-things-fall.html"&gt;Forever in a Moment; When Things Fall Apart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See also &lt;a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39404/113/"&gt;Stephen Hawking Unveils a "Time-Eating Clock"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-2004422082277843632?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2004422082277843632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2004422082277843632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/touch-typing-and-trusting-in-love.html' title='Touch-Typing and Trusting in Love'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6916716333692333335</id><published>2008-09-26T12:15:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-26T12:47:35.972+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Living Light</title><content type='html'>The wonderful thing about knowing my identity as omnipresent Light is that every moment is filled with wonder, even those moments when things are not going so well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got off my bus I noticed my next bus behind and it was about to pull away so I had to make a dash for it and beckoned for the driver to stop. The driver let me on. On my way to sit down I stumbled and accidentally stepped on this guy and bashed my elbow against the railing. I apologised to the guy and nursed my elbow by reminding myself that I am walking Light. The pain was instantly dissolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few minutes later I noticed the bus wasn't using it usual route. Is there a diversion or what? I asked the passenger beside me what bus it was and he told me. It turned out I had caught the wrong bus. No wonder I'd gone through all those shenanigans. I asked the bus driver to let me off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when I was on the wrong bus, it didn't stop me being true to myself as Light. As I walked to my destination, I was reminded of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Richard"&gt;Cliff Richard&lt;/a&gt; song, "Living Doll" which I sang to myself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll&lt;br /&gt;Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll&lt;br /&gt;Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul&lt;br /&gt;Got the one and only walking talking, living doll&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.lyricstime.com/cliff-richard-living-doll-lyrics.html"&gt;Living Doll, lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In every moment I'm a "crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living" Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Cliff Richard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-guidance.html"&gt;What is Guidance?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/second-nature.html"&gt;Second Nature&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/knock-knee.html"&gt;Knock Knee&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/remembrance-day.html"&gt;Remembrance Day&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/harmless-fun.html"&gt;Harmless Fun&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/translation.html"&gt;Translation&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/transformed-by-light.html"&gt;Transformed By the Light&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/08/living-as-light.html"&gt;Living as Light&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6916716333692333335?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6916716333692333335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6916716333692333335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/living-light.html' title='Living Light'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1357465026137440802</id><published>2008-09-24T12:25:00.016+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T15:26:23.360+01:00</updated><title type='text'>What is Guidance?</title><content type='html'>The Real Me that is Light exists in all time, all space and all realities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the Light is omnipresent, I have access to all information in all realities.

Then I started feeling it wasn't the right time. I tuned into my Light presence on the day we'd planned to meet and asked if I should go ahead with the meeting. I was "told" it wasn't the right time. I emailed my friend to tell her I couldn't make our meeting and felt it was best for both of us. I said at the "right" time God will arrange for us to meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend replied that whenever she asked her Guidance whether she should book her ticket to London for that date, she kept getting a No answer. However, when she asked if she should go ahead, she got the answer Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, since there is only One in all, the One was giving my friend the "right" answer. No, it's not the right time; and Yes, we'll meet up another time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trusting in guidance is trusting in the Real Me, the One Self in all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/real-me.html"&gt;The Real Me&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/law-of-one-revisited.html"&gt;The Law of One - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-is-set-in-stone.html"&gt;The Future is Set in Stone&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/like-two-peas-in-pod.html"&gt;Like Two Peas in a Pod&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-travel.html"&gt;Time Travel&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/trusting-in-my-path-taking-dog-for-walk.html"&gt;Trusting in my Path; Taking the Dog for a Walk&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/living-by-pee-principle.html"&gt;Living by the P.E.E.

I waved back at him. It was then I realised who he was - my ex-landlord. The last time I saw him was sixteen years ago when I was moving out of his house after living there for five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His house was the second place I lived in after I left home. When I first moved into the first house with some friends, we decided after the first day that it wasn't a good idea, but we had to stay for a month or we would have lost our deposit. It was the longest month of my life. After my friends and I parted company, I found this house that had five bedrooms. I was the first to move in. This time, I didn't know anyone who moved in after, which worked out great. Over the years I shared the house with both men and women. One woman who moved in turned out to be someone I went to school with when I was living in Sierra Leone. We hadn't been in the same year nor were we friends, but I recognised her. We became friends while we were living together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my bus journey I recalled more memories of my time at that house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember the blazing rows me and my flatmates used to have about: whose turn it was to clean the house and buy cleaning stuff; who had been eating whose food; who was playing their music the loudest (I used to listen to music all the time); who was having loud sex (one flatmate was renowned for his sexual antics); whose boyfriend was overstaying his welcome, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also remember the fun and laughter we had: listening to music together; watching television together; cooking and eating together; and ganging up against our landlord and accusing him of not meeting our needs adequately or putting up the rent. Our landlord was quite sweet actually; he used to give us bottles of wine every Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember our landlord used to complain that we didn't look after the front garden and he had to come and see to it. One day I opened the front door and found some cows grazing in the garden. God knows how they'd walked from the local forests, about a mile away, crossed the main road, and arrived at our street. It was the funniest sight I'd ever witnessed. At least they were looking after the garden for us. I asked the cows to visit again and they did, several times. I don't think our neighbours appreciated having cows grazing in their gardens though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember my flatmates and I hosting a party just for the hell of it; it's actually the best party I've ever experienced. We agreed to invite only a set number of guests. As I was going out that evening, I asked my friends to come around midnight. When I arrived with my friends, the house was already packed full and I panicked. We had also invited our neighbours out of pure courtesy, but we didn't expect them to show up. Not only did they turn up, they invited their friends too. We had so much alcohol and I didn't want people getting drunk and making a mess so I took charge of the drinks. That was some party!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember our next door neighbour's kitten I was friends with, who used to visit me every day and I would feed her. I let her sleep with me on the proviso that she took regular baths. Once a week I would bathe her, towel dry and blow-dry her hair. At first she wasn't too keen, but she soon got used to my pampering. I was really sad when I moved away because I couldn't take her with me. My flatmates told me after I had moved out, she would still visit and sit outside my former bedroom. Poor love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the ups and downs of sharing with flatmates, the memories I have of that period are lots of joy, laughter and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had another nice trip down memory lane recently when I got in contact with an ex boyfriend via email. During our email exchanges, my friend told me he remembers lots of laughter and fun while we were together. That's all I remember of him too; our joy had erased all the drama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love taking frequent trips down memory lane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/why-some-dramas-are-not-worth-my-while.html"&gt;Why Some Dramas are Not Worth My While&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-i-will-never-move-on-from-past.html"&gt;Why I Will Never Move On from the Past&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/love-dissolves-grudges.html"&gt;Love Dissolves Grudges&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/nothing-cannot-harm-you.html"&gt;Nothing Cannot Harm You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/be-careful-what-you-wish-for.html"&gt;Be Careful What You Wish For&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-139777223368873595?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/139777223368873595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/139777223368873595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/nice-trip-down-memory-lane.html' title='Nice Trip Down Memory Lane'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-377422826277975323</id><published>2008-09-22T10:43:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T11:07:51.444+01:00</updated><title type='text'>That's Amazing!</title><content type='html'>As I was taking a walk yesterday, I noticed a picture of a cat on a lamp post.

What is it about the number 8, I wonder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one sketch, a football (soccer) manager is giving pep talk to his team, which is really a satire of football teams that have many international players. The manager speaks to each member in their own language and accents, including the footballers from Scotland and London.

After she had reported the incident to the police, they kept in touch with her for a few days. They even sent her a letter expressing how sorry they were about what had happened. When they asked mum if she was interested in speaking to the Press about her experience she said she wasn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday someone went to visit her to discuss security issues and gave her an alarm. The woman was surprised my mother wasn't feeling depressed. Mum told her she was fine and had put the incident behind her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Maybe, she expected you to be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Probably," mum chuckled. "I don't see why I should be depressed. That's not God's plan for me. The most important thing is the man did not harm me and I'm fine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's interesting how society likes us to milk situations so you can create more drama. As a writer I'm constantly on the look out for stories but only those that demonstrate the wonder and power of Love. When I'm inspired to share "painful" experiences such as my mother's, it's only because something Good has come out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm all for reliving happy and loving memories, however. I only need to "press" the "tape" in my consciousness and I'm reliving the joy, love, peace, happiness over and over again. I have recorded tons of these experiences on my blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I see it, if an experience/memory doesn't make Love look good, it's really not worth my while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-good-can-come-out-of-this.html"&gt;Only Good Can Come Out of This&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/milking-it-for-all-its-worth.html"&gt;Milking It For All It's Worth&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/reliving-joy.html"&gt;Reliving the Joy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/03/cigarette-smoke-scholar-and-sharing.html"&gt;Cigarette Smoke, the Scholar and Sharing the Magic&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/03/love-is-only-cause-i-support.html"&gt;Love is the Only Cause I Support&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/whats-enlightenment-got-to-do-with-it.html"&gt;What's Enlightenment Got to Do With It?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/does-past-matter.html"&gt;Does the Past Matter?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/09/cut-to-chase.html"&gt;Cut to the Chase&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/06/no-drama.html"&gt;No Drama&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/12/yo-yos-and-drama-queens.html"&gt;Yo-Yos and Drama Queens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/does-past-matter.html"&gt;&lt;?a&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-819100099209873519?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/819100099209873519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/819100099209873519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/why-some-dramas-are-not-worth-my-while.html' title='Why Some Dramas are Not Worth My While'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6475539443719558516</id><published>2008-09-19T12:14:00.037+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T16:02:13.987+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Love is the Answer</title><content type='html'>A friend wrote me about his personal circumstances, which he's given me permission to share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, my friend is married with two young kids and finds himself stuck in a "loveless" marriage, but they're trying to make the marriage work for the sake of their children. He also senses his children are being affected by his unhappiness. My friend is also very concerned about the world financial situation as it is, and feels he needs to stay and support his family instead of following his heart. He wants to know if I can give him any advice from a spiritual perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told my friend that I will post what comes to me on my blog, which I can share with others who may find it helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can understand what you're going through as I'm sure there are many people who find themselves in that situation. I can't tell you what to do; I can only give you a different view which you may or may not find helpful. I believe Love is the answer to all your "problems."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all made of Love. Love is our true self. When you are being your true self you are loving who you are, loving life, allowing others to be who they are, and letting Love be your constant guide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you love yourself, you are being true to who you are and how you are feeling. When you are loving yourself, you will never sacrifice your integrity for anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day as I was approaching the local bus stop I noticed a woman at the stop. This woman lives in the neighbourhood and has a reputation for complaining. I know every moment is new and that it is possible Love has transformed her and she's now filled with love and optimism, but my heart told me to love her from a distance and walk to the next bus stop where I have more choice of buses. When one didn't appear I decided to continue walking. At the next stop, a bus appeared which had the woman inside. However, just behind that bus was another one which I got on. Note that Love didn't force me to be with someone I didn't want to be with; instead Love provided another way for me to travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is the highest good for everyone is always what brings you joy. While doing your duty might look good to the world, if you don't follow your heart, you're never going to be happy. If you're not happy how do you expect your wife and kids to be happy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are being true to yourself, that love is radiated around you which inspires others to be true to who they are. This means accepting yourself, accepting your wife and kids for who they are being and not wanting to change them. If you still feel your heart is no longer in the relationship, then your wife will have to accept that what's good for you is also good for her and the children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's look at your concerns about providing for your family. Since all is Love, then those whom you call your wife and children are also Love's offspring. Just as you wish to provide and be there for your kids, Love is constantly providing for Her offspring, we simply need to trust in Her. Therefore, instead of worrying about how to provide for your kids, let Love take over that responsibility. Know that Love has many channels to provide for Her loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm reminded of a story I read in the &lt;a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article4776344.ece"&gt;Times&lt;/a&gt; yesterday about a stray cat who had been adopted by several residents. The cat even answered to different names. When he got sick the residents pulled together to pay for his vet fees. Now they are mourning the cat's death. I know children are not cats but my point is that instead of believing you and your wife are the only ones who can provide for your kids, why not open up to receive from the Universe at large, just like the cat was open to be loved by several residents. Then you and your loved ones are always provided for in every moment whether it's through family, friends or even strangers. Then you're no longer concerned about what the economy is doing because you trust that Love has infinite resources to meet your needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My advice to you, for what it's worth, is to love. Love who you are, be true to yourself, allow others to be true to themselves, and trust in the Infinite power of Love to meet everyone's needs perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you all the best, my friend. I know everything is working out for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-friend-peggy.html"&gt;My Friend, Peggy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-good-can-come-out-of-this.html"&gt;Only Good Can Come Out of This&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-about-supply-and-taking-walk-on.html"&gt;More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/comfort.html"&gt;Comfort - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/secret-of-eternal-youth.html"&gt;The Secret of Eternal Youth - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/listen-to-your-heart.html"&gt;Listen to Your Heart&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/power-of-selfishness.html"&gt;The Power of Selfishness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/truth-about-whingeing.html"&gt;The Truth about Whingeing&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/surrender-to-love-revisited.html"&gt;Surrender to Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/why-inner-critic-is-my-greatest-ally.html"&gt;Why the Inner Critic is Now My Greatest Ally&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/are-you-gutless-wonder.html"&gt;Are You a Gutless Wonder?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/putting-love-first.html"&gt;Putting Love First&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/problem-is-there-arent-any-problems.html"&gt;The Problem is There Aren't Any Problems&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/answer-is-always-one.html"&gt;The Answer is Always One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/09/whats-good-for-the-goose-is-good-for-the-gander/"&gt;What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6475539443719558516?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6475539443719558516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6475539443719558516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/love-is-answer.html' title='Love is the Answer'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-5061993683253408571</id><published>2008-09-18T13:34:00.026+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-21T16:40:13.464+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Impersonal, Personal and Special Relationships</title><content type='html'>While there is only one Love I experience three kinds of love: impersonal, personal and special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Impersonal love is the love I feel for everyone. By this I mean, I wish everyone happiness and the very best in all their endeavours, whether I know them or not; whether we get on or not. I feel the same love for animals, birds, nature, and all in the universe. Also, when I share my experiences on the Internet I am loving impersonally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal love is the love I feel for my family and friends. I care about what happens to them on a personal level and I'm curious to know what makes them tick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there is special love, which is in a different league.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the library I frequent a lot, I have made friends with several security guards. I interact with most of them on an impersonal level i.e. I say hello and wish them well. I enjoy chatting to a few of the guys and having a laugh with them. I even flirt with one of them, who I shall call "Harry." However, there is one particularly guy (I'll call "Peter") who I have a very special bond with. All the others have noticed our special relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day Harry said to me, "How come you don't love me the same way you love Peter?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I do love you. I love everyone the same," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But you're not as true to me as you are to Peter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"OK, for now I'm true to you, OK?" I giggled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry had made a good point. Why do I feel that special bond with Peter and not with the others? I'm not interested in Peter in a sexual or romantic sense, the love I feel for him goes beyond that, it's a love with no strings attached. Peter and I just hit it off and get on like a house on fire. He's is not interested in spiritual stuff, I don't even know if he even believes in God. I love cats and he can't stand them. We've never socialised outside the library and I can't even see it happening. I just love speaking to him about stuff and we have such a giggle. Being with him is very easy; it's like being by myself and enjoying my own company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who lives in Ireland who I feel this special love for. Even though we came from different backgrounds, we just hit it off. We used to hang out a lot until she emigrated, but we still kept in touch. I even went to visit her when she was living in Thailand. She eventually moved to Ireland. Now some might argue that for a friendship to continue you need to give it the attention it deserves. I don't feel that kind of pressure about this friend. I haven't seen her in several years. I didn't even attend her wedding last year nor have I seen her son (though I have seen his photo), but the love I feel for my friend transcends even friendship. I only have to think of her and I know she feels me and vice versa. We are one and nothing can break that bond. We exchange emails from time to time and I know I'll see her again soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three kinds of love I've described reminds me of the different kinds of relationship one can have with God. You can experience God as an impersonal presence that loves all equally. There's the personal relationship you can have with God where you can speak to God as a friend and companion. Then there's the special relationship that I can only describe as oneness. In oneness there is no separation; you're simply in joy communing with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, I've only felt that special love with a few people. This love is an unbreakable bond that transcends beliefs, time, and space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm very grateful for my special relationships as they enable me to experience the joy and wonder of being myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/lets-talk-pets.html"&gt;Let's Talk Pets&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/gift-of-love-rose.html"&gt;Gift of Love - The Rose&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/magic-formula.html"&gt;The Magic Formula&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-dream-play-mate.html"&gt;My Dream Play Mate&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/always-at-one.html"&gt;Always at One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/unbreakable-bond.html"&gt;An Unbreakable Bond&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/devotion.html"&gt;Devotion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/hugs-and-kisses.html"&gt;Hugs and Kisses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-5061993683253408571?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5061993683253408571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5061993683253408571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/impersonal-personal-and-special.html' title='Impersonal, Personal and Special Relationships'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1085530724140900193</id><published>2008-09-17T14:54:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T15:18:28.149+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Shock Horror!</title><content type='html'>As I was travelling on the bus I was inspired to realise the presence of Love-Light in all and bless everyone with peace and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard a young man behind me speaking to himself.

This means whenever I'm logged in, other users can't tell whether I'm logged in or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've noticed, however, that sometimes when the administrator of the forum is online, all invisible users' appear visible. I don't know whether the administrator deliberately activates this or not. When it happened again when I was logged in I decided I didn't want to be visible at any time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reminded of the mystery around Lahiri Mahasaya's photograph in the book "Autobiography of a Yogi." When his photograph was taken without his consent, his physical form didn't appear when it was developed because he knew his identity as "omnipresent invisible" Spirit. It was only when he had given his consent that his figure appeared on the photograph. (See excerpt below). I decided to apply the same idea to my online status. I thought to myself "I am Spirit." The moment I had the thought, my online status became invisible even though the administrator was still online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;One of my most precious possessions is that same photograph. Given to Father by Lahiri Mahasaya himself, it carries a holy vibration. The picture had a miraculous origin. I heard the story from Father's brother disciple, Kali Kumar Roy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears that the master had an aversion to being photographed. Over his protest, a group picture was once taken of him and a cluster of devotees, including Kali Kumar Roy. It was an amazed photographer who discovered that the plate which had clear images of all the disciples, revealed nothing more than a blank space in the center where he had reasonably expected to find the outlines of Lahiri Mahasaya. The phenomenon was widely discussed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A certain student and expert photographer, Ganga Dhar Babu, boasted that the fugitive figure would not escape him. The next morning, as the guru sat in lotus posture on a wooden bench with a screen behind him, Ganga Dhar Babu arrived with his equipment. Taking every precaution for success, he greedily exposed twelve plates. On each one he soon found the imprint of the wooden bench and screen, but once again the master's form was missing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With tears and shattered pride, Ganga Dhar Babu sought out his guru. It was many hours before Lahiri Mahasaya broke his silence with a pregnant comment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am Spirit. Can your camera reflect the omnipresent Invisible?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I see it cannot! But, Holy Sir, I lovingly desire a picture of the bodily temple where alone, to my narrow vision, that Spirit appears fully to dwell."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come, then, tomorrow morning. I will pose for you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again the photographer focused his camera. This time the sacred figure, not cloaked with mysterious imperceptibility, was sharp on the plate. The master never posed for another picture; at least, I have seen none.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.thenazareneway.com/Autobiography_of_a_Yogi/Chapter%201.htm"&gt;Autobiography of a Yogi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I am omnipresent invisible Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/law-of-one-revisited.html"&gt;The Law of One - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/invisible-users.html"&gt;Invisible Users&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/12/cloaking-technology_10.html"&gt;Cloaking Technology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7202272440563313240?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7202272440563313240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7202272440563313240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/invisibility-cloak.html' title='Invisibility Cloak'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-5499971046943698155</id><published>2008-09-16T14:48:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T15:09:58.339+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Being Led Up the Garden Path</title><content type='html'>Instead of walking through the gardens, which was pretty crowded, I was curious to follow the road outside it which I believed was a much quicker route to the main road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed some people walking ahead who obviously had had the same idea. As I walked I noticed a side street which I wondered about using but I figured I would walk down to the end of the road. When the couple walking in front got to the end of the road, they realised the road was blocked and the gate leading to the gardens was closed. I heard the woman said: "That's really annoying! Why didn't they put up a sign?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was time to retrace our steps and find a side street to the main road. As we were walking back we advised others walking towards us that the road was blocked. I noticed a flight of stairs which felt to me like one way out of the maze. The man in front wanted to check it out but his partner didn't think it would lead us out to the main street. I begged to differ and walked up the stairs where I found it did lead to the main road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of being led up the garden path, I would rather just follow my nose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/trusting-in-my-path-taking-dog-for-walk.html"&gt;Trusting in my Path; Taking the Dog for a Walk&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/following-your-nose.html"&gt;Follow Your Nose!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/follow-me.html"&gt;Follow Me&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-5499971046943698155?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5499971046943698155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5499971046943698155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/being-led-up-garden-path.html' title='Being Led Up the Garden Path'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-7619018671825941120</id><published>2008-09-16T13:52:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T14:45:24.296+01:00</updated><title type='text'>What is Chaos?</title><content type='html'>Two days ago, I thought of a friend I used to see around who has two young kids- a boy and a girl. They are both so cute. I wondered how they were doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I was inspired to leave home earlier than usual. The bus was packed full and I wondered why it was so crowded. When I got off I saw the same friend I'd been thinking of. She was very happy to see me. After we'd hugged I said hello to her two kids. Her daughter was a lot taller. My friend said her daughter no longer fits into clothes for eight year olds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend said it was quite chaotic as the underground trains were not running. She said her kids were going to be late for school, not that they seemed bothered. Aha, that's why the bus was so crowded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in the Real World i.e. Love which is the organising principle of all realities, life is unfolding perfectly. Therefore, what my friend perceived as chaos was actually Cause at work arranging for us to be together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To paraphrase &lt;a href="http://robertburns.org/works/75.shtml"&gt;Robert Burns&lt;/a&gt;, "the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I trust in Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-good-can-come-out-of-this.html"&gt;Only Good Can Come Out of This&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/law-of-one-revisited.html"&gt;The Law of One - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-suffering.html"&gt;What is Suffering?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/life-is-unfolding-perfectly.html"&gt;Life is Unfolding Perfectly&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/letting-nature-take-its-course.html"&gt;Letting Nature Take Its Course - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/loves-organising-principle.html"&gt;Love's Organising Principle&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/01/enocia-show.html"&gt;The Enocia Show&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/conspiracy-theories.html"&gt;Conspiracy Theories&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/cause-or-effect.html"&gt;Cause or Effect?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/09/love-always-has-right-of-way.html"&gt;Love Always Has the Right of Way&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/almighty-at-work.html"&gt;The Almighty at Work&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7619018671825941120?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7619018671825941120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7619018671825941120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-chaos.html' title='What is Chaos?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-7641815622300817424</id><published>2008-09-16T11:28:00.017+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T13:22:17.289+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Friend, Peggy</title><content type='html'>As I was walking home yesterday I thought about how wonderful it is that my True Self/the One is being expressed through different people. I am constantly seeing the One's light in people's eyes be it family, friends, strangers, animals. It's the same old Love I keep seeing reflected back at me, at least those who are open to the Light. As I see it, the universe is the One's tool to express Self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About ten minutes from home, I noticed a friend across the road who lives in the area. Every time I've seen him he's asked me to visit his flat (apartment) but I've always declined. He waved and I waved back. Even though the road was flowing with traffic, he ran across to be with me and we hugged. I could see the same Light in his eyes. He asked me where I was going and I said home. He asked me when I was going to visit his flat as he was dying to show me his new place. Why not now? He promised to make me a nice cup of tea. I decided to take him up on his offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we were walking to his place, he asked me if I smoked Weed and I said I don't nor do I smoke. He said he smokes both of them. He also said he's finding the energy bills a lot to cope with. When he opened the front door downstairs he warned me that he lived at the top on the third floor and we had to walk up the stairs. I told him I'd just walked from the city, which had taken me 2 hours, so three flights of stairs was nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as he opened his front door, I got a whiff of the pungent smell of Weed but the flat felt lovely. He put on some Reggae music, the only music he listens to. While he was in the kitchen, he invited me to explore his flat which is very nicely decorated, clean and quite spacious. I could see it was his own haven to be how he wants to be. I told him I liked his place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend then gave me a cute cuddly toy, a pink Pegasus, which he wanted me to have. He said it will always remind me of him. I fell in love with her immediately and thanked my friend for his gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He made my tea just the way I like it - syrupy. He also asked if I liked &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cake"&gt;Jaffa Cakes&lt;/a&gt; as he'd bought some recently at very good value. I told him I haven't had Jaffa Cakes in ages. I was reminded how much I LOVE Jaffa Cakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend asked if I minded if he smoked a cigarette and I said I didn't. While I drank my tea, we chatted about life and stuff. My friend is single and in his late forties. He has a daughter in her early twenties who visits from time to time. He was born in Jamaica and came to live in England when he was seven but he found it so cold that he went back. He returned when he was nine. He said he doesn't know anyone in Jamaica as his relatives are either in the UK or America. He spent some time in the Army and he travelled to many countries. I told him I once had a dream about joining the British Army. I applied and went through various tests and even spent a day at the Selection Centre but I failed the final interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we'd been chatting, my friend said he needed to pop out for about twenty minutes and asked if I could wait in the flat for him until he returned, but I didn't feel like staying. He asked me when I was going to visit. I told him I don't make plans. If our paths cross again and I feel inspired to then I will. I thanked my friend for his gift and entertaining me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I walked home, I thought of a friend's email I had received two hours earlier when he'd written: "You are a SweetSweet angel ~ Enocia." It's amazing how I ended up having some SWEET tea with another friend who gave me a cuddly toy with wings that could pass as an ANGEL. Well, a lot of artists depict angels with wings, don't they? Come to think of it, both of my friends are angels of Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At home I shared my experience with my mother who was amazed. She also loved my Pegasus and suggested I name her, Peggy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Peggy, for being the physical manifestation of the One Love-Light in all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/segregation-and-integration.html"&gt;Segregation and Integration&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/could-you-tone-it-down-bit.html"&gt;Could You Tone It Down a Bit?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/be-careful-what-you-wish-for-others.html"&gt;Be Careful What You Wish For Others&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-gifts.html"&gt;Love Gifts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/youre-angel.html"&gt;You are An Angel!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/re-living-joy-part-2.html"&gt;Reliving the Joy - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/im-just-love-machine.html"&gt;I'm Just a Love Machine&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-beloved.html"&gt;My Beloved&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/body-as-tool-to-express-self.html"&gt;The Body as a Tool to Express Self&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/10/cherished-memories.html"&gt;Cherished Memories&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/05/as-high-as-kite.html"&gt;As High as a Kite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7641815622300817424?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7641815622300817424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7641815622300817424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-friend-peggy.html' title='My Friend, Peggy'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-902279749087658488</id><published>2008-09-15T15:28:00.020+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T11:01:43.508+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Segregation and Integration</title><content type='html'>A few days ago, I had a dream about someone I used to have a relationship with over 10 years ago. I always felt I had a connection with him. At the time I didn't appreciate him but now I realise how much he'd given me. I still think of him from to time. The dream of my friend was so real that when I woke up I wondered if this was the dream and that was real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two nights ago I had a dream where I was able to experience anything I thought of. I wanted to buy a friend some nuts but didn't have any money. I went to this shop and asked for a packet anyway. As soon as I was told how much it was, the money appeared in my hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the same dream, I was speaking to two friends. They wanted to get somewhere and didn't have any transport. They said they'd prefer to travel by motorcycle. I told them I'd take care of it for them. As soon as I had the thought, the helmets appeared and then their motorcycles. It was the most natural thing to be able to manifest my thoughts instantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I woke up from that dream, again I had the feeling that I had woken up to a counterfeit self and the me in that dream was the real me. Later, I watched an &lt;a href="http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/VOY/episode/68862.html"&gt;episode&lt;/a&gt; of "Star Trek Voyager" yesterday where Harry Kim finds himself in another reality where he hasn't yet joined the space ship, Voyager. Although he's with his girlfriend whom he adores, Harry isn't happy because he knows he doesn't really belong to that reality and wants to get back to Voyager. With a friend's help he manages to get back to his timeline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could relate to Harry Kim's dilemma because sometimes I feel like I'm caught in a time warp where I yearn to be the self in my sleeping dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth of the matter is all realities are dreams whether I'm sleeping or awake. It doesn't matter if I'm doing different things in different dreams, they are all aspects of Self. To want to be the me in one reality and not another is to segregate myself from myself and be fragmented. The only way to experience myself fully is to integrate all the parts that exist in all time and in all realities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The me in the dream with my friend is who I am now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The me in the dream where my thoughts come to life is who I am now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The me in all dream realities - whether I'm asleep, awake, thinking, day-dreaming - is who I am now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The me that is observing all dreams is who I am now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the integrated Self within and without.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom." &lt;a href="http://www.thenazareneway.com/thomasgospel.htm"&gt;The Gospel of Thomas&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/could-you-tone-it-down-bit.html"&gt;Could You Tone It Down a Bit?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-about-supply-and-taking-walk-on.html"&gt;More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild Side&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-is-set-in-stone.html"&gt;The Future is Set in Stone&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/stepping-outside-box.html"&gt;Stepping Outside the Box&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/of-course-i-am-my-body.html"&gt;Of Course I am My Body!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/dream-is-dream-is-dream-revisited.html"&gt;A Dream is A Dream is a Dream - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/dreaming-future.html"&gt;Dreaming the Future&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixers.html"&gt;The Fixers&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/thats-me.html"&gt;That's Me!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/09/observer.html"&gt;The Observer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/conference.html"&gt;The Conference&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/08/making-inner-and-outer-one.html"&gt;Making the Inner and Outer One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/09/pull-yourself-together/"&gt;Pull Yourself Together&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/07/i-change-not/"&gt;I Change Not&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-902279749087658488?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/902279749087658488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/902279749087658488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/segregation-and-integration.html' title='Segregation and Integration'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1940640797686438911</id><published>2008-09-15T13:18:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T13:32:10.992+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Stars in My Eyes</title><content type='html'>On the bus I noticed a woman wearing a black jacket and skirt.

She said it happened while she was at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While my mother was watching television, someone rang the bell and said he was some kind of drainage inspector. Mum went to open the door and forgot to ask to see his ID. After distracting my mother with nonsense, the guy went upstairs, sneaked into her bedroom, stole her purse and left. Mum called the police to report the incident. Apparently, the police are aware he's done the same to other neighbours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum said she was annoyed at herself for being duped by this guy. In fact, she received a letter recently from the Neighbourhood Watch reminding residents to be vigilant of bogus workers. Fortunately, mum didn't have much money in her purse; only some loose change. Apart from that there were some papers, her mobile top-up card, and a photograph of Jesus. Earlier on her way to church she thought about taking her bank card to withdraw some money but something told her not to bother, which is just as well as she would have had a lot more money and her bank card in her purse. I was very happy she was feeling very peaceful considering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of being at peace, while I had been travelling on the bus, possibly around the same time my mother was being burgled, some teenagers had sat near me playing their music really loud. Instead of asking them to turn the music down, I simply thought: "peace and quiet in every moment." They turned down the music. As I continued to have the thought of peace, they turned off the music and remained quiet until they got off. I continued to meditate on peace throughout my bus journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my mother had told me about the incident, the first thought that came to mind was "Only good can come out of this." Why? Because I know there's nothing but the presence of God/Love in every moment which is very good. In the Kingdom of God/Love, there are no burglars or criminals, only offspring of Love who can only love one another. As children of Love, you know your supply is constantly being met by Infinite Love. Only when you believe you live outside of the Kingdom or see yourself as something other than your true identity, Love, do you believe there's not enough and have to steal to meet your needs. Yes, only good can come out of this. Our friend had chosen the wrong person to steal from because all he's going to get from me is lots of love. I blessed my friend with love and wished him peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then picked up my mother's book called &lt;a href="http://shop.unityonline.org/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&amp;amp;ProdID=74"&gt;God Will See You Through&lt;/a&gt; by Mary L. Kupferle and opened it at random to a chapter called "There's enough and to spare." Mary cites the parable of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prodigal_Son"&gt;Prodigal Son&lt;/a&gt; in the Bible about a man who asks his father for his inheritance and goes off into a far country. After spending all he has and he's in lack he realises that in his father's house there is enough and to spare. He returns home where his father receives him. Mary offers the affirmation "there's enough and to spare" as a reminder to lean on God for our supply whether it is more love, patience, kindness, substance, peace, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pointed the chapter out to my mother. I said the "burglar" had not realised that in God's Kingdom there's enough and to spare. I also said only good will come out of this experience. Mum said she'd also had the same thought that God is going to use this experience to bless many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some may ask if God is all there is, why did mum have this experience? You could ask the same question about situations in the world. Why do "bad" things happen? All I know is that God does not cause situations like these to happen. While man's beliefs might attract disharmony or disturbing situations, God can always transform disharmony into harmony; lack into opportunities to bless, etc. Incidentally, there's another chapter in the same book called "God will turn this to good." It doesn't matter what the experience or whatever situation you face, God will transform it. I've seen this in my experience. No matter how many "mistakes" I've made, God has always transformed them for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on the TV news there was a report about another financial company on the brink of collapse. This means thousands of people's livelihood are in jeopardy. This shows that humans can only go so far with their limited resources, but in God "there's enough and to spare."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what the situation, God will use the situation to bless many as He is right now in this article. I only need to remember God's presence in every moment and trust in His goodness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's enough and to spare."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-about-supply-and-taking-walk-on.html"&gt;More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild Side&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all-part-2.html"&gt;Love is All in All - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/cry-for-help.html"&gt;A Cry for Help&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/its-all-good.html"&gt;It's All Good!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/showing-mercy.html"&gt;Showing Mercy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/01/enocia-show.html"&gt;The Enocia Show&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/intention-to-love-and-be-love.html"&gt;The Intention to Love and Be Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/god-doesnt-make-mistakes.html"&gt;God Doesn't Make Mistakes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6028857705597932551?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6028857705597932551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6028857705597932551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-good-can-come-out-of-this.html' title='Only Good Can Come Out of This'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-5169559568654194169</id><published>2008-09-13T15:16:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-13T15:34:26.375+01:00</updated><title type='text'>How Lovely!</title><content type='html'>There are so many lovely things in the world to enjoy.

Sometimes when I'm focused on work and stuff, I don't feel it so much though I can still hear the Sound. It's only when I'm still that I can feel its effect which leaves me in perfect bliss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother and I were watching the American comedy &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_and_a_Half_Men"&gt;Two and a Half Men&lt;/a&gt; about a bachelor, Charlie, whose younger brother, Alan moves in with his son, Jake, after separating from his wife. It is quite funny watching Charlie trying to cope with this family invasion. He doesn't change his lifestyle though, he still goes through women like nobody's business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I suddenly noticed when Charlie was speaking, his voice had the tinge of the Inner Sound and I was getting shivers down my spine and feeling immense joy. When Alan spoke, I felt chills all over. I felt the same when Jake and the other characters were speaking. When the audience laughed, I felt the same. When my mother laughed I felt it. When she spoke I felt the same. After the comedy finished, my mother changed the channel to a religious programme and I felt the same goose bumps from the speakers. The feeling was getting stronger and stronger that I felt I couldn't cope any more. I told mum what I was experiencing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'd better not say anything then if you're feeling this way," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't stop speaking because of me," I said. "I'm going to have a shower, maybe that will help."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I went to the bathroom, I gave my mother a hug so I could offload some of the joy on to her. When I turned on the shower the noise of the shower gave me goose bumps too, as was listening to the tap running, and the toilet being flushed. It got so bad I had to ask Love to tone it down slightly as I can't possibly function with this intensity of Love coursing through me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember reading in &lt;a href="http://www.thenazareneway.com/Autobiography_of_a_Yogi/Chapter%2035.htm"&gt;Autobiography of a Yogi&lt;/a&gt; about Lahiri Mahasaya's disciple, who worked as a postman. He asked Lahiri to bless him because since he'd been initiated in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriya_Yoga"&gt;Kriya Yoga&lt;/a&gt;, he was feeling so intoxicated with bliss he was having difficulties delivering his letters. I know exactly how that postman feels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taking a shower, I watched &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/city/"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/a&gt; and I felt the same goose bumps but it wasn't as intense. After that I listened to the news for a few seconds and I felt the same. I flicked over to a film and watched it for a few minutes. Even though I wasn't really into it, I could still feel the same old chills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really the same old Love underneath everything though I have to ask for Love to be toned down a bit or I wouldn't be able to write this piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/law-of-one-revisited.html"&gt;The Law of One - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/never-too-much.html"&gt;Never Too Much&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/transcending-duality.html"&gt;Transcending Duality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/tripping-light-fantastic.html"&gt;Tripping the Light Fantastic&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all.html"&gt;Love is All in All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/word.html"&gt;The Word&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/01/living-in-my-head.html"&gt;Living in My Head&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/10/hello-love.html"&gt;Hello Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/12/ending-duality-same-old-same-old.html"&gt;Ending Duality - Same Old, Same Old&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/06/the-power-of-inner-silence/"&gt;The Power of Inner Silence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-122606035086079035?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/122606035086079035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/122606035086079035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/could-you-tone-it-down-bit.html' title='Could You Tone It Down a Bit?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6623491348246153498</id><published>2008-09-12T14:23:00.023+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-12T15:54:19.332+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Law of One - Revisited</title><content type='html'>I believe in the law of One. This means there is only ONE Intelligence expressing in all life, all time, all space, all universes whether they are visible or invisible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ONE is rather like the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(fictional_aliens)"&gt;Borg&lt;/a&gt; in the sci-fi series Star Trek, which is a collective consciousness working to attain perfection. In their quest for perfection, the Borg are constantly assimilating other species. What's interesting about the Borg collective is that it doesn't matter how far the cubes (ships) are away from the Mother ship, they are always connected. This means every Borg drone is always aware of what's going on in the Collective Mind. Therefore, when one cube thousands of light years away assimilates a new species, then all of the Collective gains that new wisdom that has been assimilated, which they can utilise in their experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the same respect, what God/the One is expressing in one is instantly accessible to everyone no matter what time or space you are in. What blocks people from receiving is the belief in many minds experiencing their own private realities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's interesting how there are many channelled teachings now from aliens or "awakened" beings who are claiming they are here to save humanity and help them ascend. Let's examine the concept of "ascension. " Let's say for argument's sake there are many levels and the highest you can attain is level 8. Based on the law of One i.e. that there is the same Intelligence in all, surely that same intelligence working in the one who has attained level 8 is the same Intelligence in me right at this moment? Doesn't that mean I've also attained level 8? Therefore, it only takes one to be lifted up for all to be lifted up. Why then would I need someone's help to teach me how to ascend when I'm already there?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is the notion of ascension is pure baloney. You are either joined with the collective consciousness of the ONE or you're dreaming yourself learning many lessons and evolving through infinite steps to enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the only help humanity needs is the constant reminder of the Law of One. There is only ONE Intelligence working in all. What is true for someone in a galaxy 80 billion light years away is true for me; and vice versa. Therefore, when someone shares something wonderful, whether that experience happened a thousand years ago or a few minutes ago, I know that experience is also my experience that I can utilise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only One exists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-about-supply-and-taking-walk-on.html"&gt;More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild Side&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/like-two-peas-in-pod.html"&gt;Like Two Peas in a Pod&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/all-is-one-reminder.html"&gt;All is One - A Reminder&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/personal-versus-universal-approach.html"&gt;The Personal versus the Universal Approach&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/08/resistance-is-futile.html"&gt;Resistance is Futile&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/06/universal-consciousness.html"&gt;Universal Consciousness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/law-of-one.html"&gt;The Law of One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/07/all-good-is-ever-present/"&gt;All Good is Ever Present&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6623491348246153498?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6623491348246153498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6623491348246153498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/law-of-one-revisited.html' title='The Law of One - Revisited'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1924331447765011301</id><published>2008-09-11T12:28:00.036+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T15:31:14.360+01:00</updated><title type='text'>More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild Side</title><content type='html'>I was inspired to walk home yesterday evening which I thought would be an excellent opportunity to "download" more data i.e. have a conversation with My Beloved/Self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to know about how the manifestations that took place in the Bible such as when Elisha multiplied a jar of oil (&lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=1188180&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=oil"&gt;see 2 Kings 4: 1-7&lt;/a&gt;); and when Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes to feed over five thousand people (&lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=3844093&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=loaves"&gt;John 6: 1-13&lt;/a&gt;). Are these simply stories that have been made up or is that power available now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inner Voice said that it's all about receptivity. There appears to be two kinds of awareness: the conscious and the unconscious. Most people are only conscious of what they can experience with the senses or what is known and not receptive to the unseen and the unknown. To be conscious of all that is both seen and unseen/known and unknown is to be superconscious. In truth, there is only one awareness - superconsciousness where you are aware of all that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible for one to keep on living as normal while being superconscious? I'm reminded of a passage in the Bible when Moses asks to see God:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;18 Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19 And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20 But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=2&amp;amp;chapter=33&amp;amp;version=31"&gt;Exodus 33: 18-20&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;"Glory" refers to superconsciousness, our true state of being. However, living from the place of awareness comes at a huge price. By this I mean, you can't expect to live the "normal" life of a human that is only conscious of the known and appearances, and always trying to figure out how things work, and still expect to be your True Self. You have to make a choice and stick to it. As superconsciousness, there is nothing to figure out, nothing to understand, you just know all things are and let them be made manifest as and when.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inner Voice reminded me of the film &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315327/"&gt;Bruce Almighty&lt;/a&gt;. In the comedy, God decides He's had enough of Bruce complaining about Him and gives Bruce all his powers to rule over all while He/God takes a holiday. Bruce soon realises the enormity of his responsibility when he starts hearing people's thoughts and prayers. At first he tries to help by his own limited sense of awareness by using human means, but he realises that is impossible. To cut a long story short, Bruce surrenders and lets God take over his job as Almighty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does all of this have to do with manifestation in the Bible? I want to see it in action right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was walking by a canal, I suddenly had an impulse to walk down that canal all the way to East London. It didn't make sense walking that far as that would be adding two more hours to my journey. I figured I could catch the bus back and arrive home around 8.30 or 9 pm. I decided to go for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was walking down the canal path, cyclists were zooming up and down in both directions. Bloody hell! This path is like the cyclists equivalent of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverstone_Circuit"&gt;Silverstone&lt;/a&gt; (the motor racing circuit). There's hardly enough room to swing a cat let alone accommodate cyclists whizzing by in both directions! One cyclist, who must have noticed my frustration, slowed down and stopped beside me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's quite busy, innit?" he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes. Where the hell are they coming from or going? I've never seen it this busy!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's like riding up a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorway"&gt;motorway&lt;/a&gt;," the man chuckled and he cycled off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it, I'm not walking down this busy path. I'm going back on the main road. However, a force compelled me to stay on the canal path. There must be a very good reason why I need to follow this path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, what were we discussing again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aha, the superconscious state of awareness where all things are. In other words, God is all there is. I'm not walking on a canal path, I'm experiencing the allness of God now; the allness of Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are some of the attributes of Light?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boundlessness, limitlessness, freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am experiencing boundlessness now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My walking experience was instantly transformed. It's as if the word had gone out for cyclists to either slow down or stagger their journeys. Now there were fewer cyclists in both directions. There was now lots of space for everyone: walkers, dogs, cyclists, joggers and those fishing. Each time I approached a bridge, where the path is quite narrow, I was not concerned whether a cyclist was going to approach from behind or in front because I knew the Intelligence which is moving me is the same that is moving the cyclists. There's no way our paths can collide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked for about five miles down then I caught the bus back into town and another one home. I arrived home around 8.30 pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was being demonstrated during that walk was the way food was multiplied in the Bible. All I have to do is realise God's allness and then let God either multiply what already exists or appear as the very thing needed. I'm reminded of when I attended a Diwali Festival at Trafalgar Square where they were giving out free goodie bags. There were so many people fighting for so little. After several attempts to get a bag and not succeeding I asked God to get me one and the next thing I knew a man giving out bags came and stood right next to me and I received one from him. After that there was more than enough to go round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I'm travelling on the bus during rush hour I stay in my peace knowing God is all there is, and there is always more than enough room for everyone. The moment I'm sucked into the hustle and bustle mentality of competing for space, there's little room and it's every man for himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now the world leaders are claiming that the way to resolve poverty and food shortage is to share what we have. When sharing is coming from a state of lack, there's never going to be enough. It doesn't matter how much people donate, that problem will stay unresolved. However, when people realise God's allness and that God is in control then God is able to meet all our needs superabundantly with more than enough to spare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I met a friend at the bus stop and we travelled together. At one point she had a string from a label caught in her handbag's zip. She tried to pull it free but it was stuck. I tried and it was still stuck. She showed me where it was stuck and tried to figure out how it had got suck. In thought I asked God to release it. When my friend stopped fiddling with it, the string was released by magic. She was quite amazed. We then continued our conversation until we reached her stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is all in all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/like-two-peas-in-pod.html"&gt;Like Two Peas in a Pod&lt;/a&gt; ; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/take-no-thought.html"&gt;Take No Thought&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-invocation.html"&gt;The Great Invocation&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/hard-facts.html"&gt;The Hard Facts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/no-such-thing-as-competition.html"&gt;No Such Thing as Competition&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-have-all-time-in-world.html"&gt;I Have ALL the Time in the World&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/two-paths.html"&gt;The Two Paths&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/somethings-got-to-give.html"&gt;Something's Got to Give&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/diwali-festival-of-lights.html"&gt;Diwali - Festival of Lights&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/supply-and-demand-are-one_13.html"&gt;Supply and Demand are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/thought-is-very-thing_28.html"&gt;The Thought is the Very Thing&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/expecting-cat-to-behave-like-dog.html"&gt;Expecting a Cat to Behave Like a Dog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-1924331447765011301?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1924331447765011301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1924331447765011301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-about-supply-and-taking-walk-on.html' title='More about Supply and Taking a Walk on the Wild Side'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-4124832823277695102</id><published>2008-09-10T16:00:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T16:11:35.122+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Perennial Student?</title><content type='html'>As I was waiting at the bus stop a man sitting beside me smiled at me and asked if I was still at college.

In one scene Eddie, Martin's dog, who likes to sit next to Frasier and try and out-stare him, sits between him and the family friend. The dog looks terribly confused because they are so similar; he can't decide who to stare at. Roz, Frasier's friend and work colleague, describes their similarity as "two peas in a pod." Before the man leaves, Martin asks him if he'd had an affair with his wife. He tells Martin that he's gay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I received an email from a dear friend who I've been thinking of and wondering how his wife was doing. My friend said her granddaughter had sent her a book of photos with instructions for him and his wife to open the book together. One picture was of a sonogram that my friend refers to as a "pea in a pod." In other words, my friend's grand-daughter is pregnant. He was so happy to share the good news. He also told me his wife is about to undergo surgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's wonderful how I had watched an episode of "Frasier" that mentions "two peas in a pod," which was reflected back at me as "pea in a pod."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There really is only ONE experiencing life as all of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/life-is-unfolding-perfectly.html"&gt;Life is Unfolding Perfectly&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/as-if.html"&gt;As If!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/only-one-here-part-2.html"&gt;Only One Here! - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-5445794853318838728?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5445794853318838728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5445794853318838728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/like-two-peas-in-pod.html' title='Like Two Peas in a Pod'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6340766691791966883</id><published>2008-09-09T12:19:00.011+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T15:34:15.775+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Take No Thought</title><content type='html'>When I went home yesterday my mother told me she had experienced what Jesus had meant by "Take no thought":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;25: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?&lt;br /&gt;26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?&lt;br /&gt;27: Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?&lt;br /&gt;28: And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:&lt;br /&gt;29: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.&lt;br /&gt;30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?&lt;br /&gt;31: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?&lt;br /&gt;32: (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.&lt;br /&gt;33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.&lt;br /&gt;34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

As she planned to go out and wasn't returning till the evening, she thought it might be a hassle stopping off at the shops on her way home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the morning her daughter-in-law turned up to collect some food my mother had prepared for her grandson, which she now does every week. My daughter-in-law had brought a big bowl of food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was such a surprise when J brought the food for us. I didn't expect it at all," she smiled. "There was no need for me take thought. God had met our needs perfectly."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"God is always working and looking after everyone," I said. "What blocks people from receiving their supply is expecting their needs to be met purely through them or what they're used to. For example, if you look in your purse and you have no money to meet a need, you interpret the empty purse as being in lack. I might not have any money but God does.

I suffer from "Pink Cloud" Syndrome also known as people who live in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_cuckoo_land"&gt;Cloud-Cuckoo Land&lt;/a&gt;. Because of this syndrome, I tend to see everything with optimism or with Love's vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once a week I attend the Pink Cloud Syndrome Anonymous group meeting where I get to meet with and share experiences with other sufferers. Here's what I shared in last night's meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Enocia: Hello all, my name is Enocia and I suffer from Pink Cloud Syndrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Group: Hello Enocia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia: Tonight I want to share how I've been coping, more like not coping. I'm trying so hard to fight this thing but I just seem to be getting worse and worse. What is it they say, "what you resist persists?" I mean, I think of Love all the time. The more fearful stuff I read about or hear in the news, the more I focus on Love and trusting in the power of Love. It's utter madness! Anyone would think I was possessed by some Love demon or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This illness makes me so impractical and unrealistic! For instance, while normal people go to doctors I look to Love for healing. Isn't that outrageous? I even trust in Love to not only guide me but to meet my supply in every way. Why am I so gullible to put my faith and trust in something that doesn't even exist? What's love got to do with life anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've even dedicated my whole life to writing about the wonder and magic of Love in action: through me and through others. I know I'm wasting my life focusing on Love and not getting a proper job but I'm not responsible for my behaviour. How can I when I'm not in my right mind?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's also this great fear I have of Love completely taking over the whole world. I keep getting these horrific visions of a world where people are living in perfect harmony. It would be a complete disaster. The thought of it makes me shudder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I'm so sorry I'm getting so emotional now but I feel so sad to be suffering like this after so many years. Why is it so hard for me to buy into doom and gloom? On the rare occasion when I have seen the Light and been feeling down, why have I bounced back so quickly? Why can't I be like normal people and be scared to follow my joy? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;With your support and by the Grace of God, I hope to beat this illness. For now, I'll just have to take it one day at a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Group: Thank you for sharing, Enocia.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;For anyone reading this, please pray for me that I am healed from this debilitating illness.

I told him what I love is never too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reminded of one of my favourite songs "Never too Much" by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Vandross"&gt;Luther Vandross&lt;/a&gt;, which is a wonderful reminder that I never get tired of loving who and what I love and receiving love. And I never get tired of listening to this song either, which I LOVE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWMn-LW3rCA&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me&lt;br /&gt;You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy&lt;br /&gt;There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you&lt;br /&gt;You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you&lt;br /&gt;How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you&lt;br /&gt;You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in&lt;br /&gt;That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A thousand kisses from you is never too much&lt;br /&gt;I just don't wanna stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A million days in your arms is never too much&lt;br /&gt;I just don't wanna stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started&lt;br /&gt;I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted&lt;br /&gt;Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'&lt;br /&gt;Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar&lt;br /&gt;I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler&lt;br /&gt;Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'&lt;br /&gt;We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A thousand kisses from you is never too much&lt;br /&gt;(Never too much, never too much, never too much)&lt;br /&gt;I just don't wanna stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A million days in your arms is never too much&lt;br /&gt;(Never too much, never too much, never too much)&lt;br /&gt;And I just don't wanna stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A thousand kisses from you is never&lt;br /&gt;(Never too much, never too much, never too much)&lt;br /&gt;I just don't wanna stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, my love&lt;br /&gt;A million days in your arms is never too much &lt;a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/luthervandross/nevertoomuch.html"&gt;Never Too Much, lyrics&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I love you forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Enocia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-543474161816083003?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/543474161816083003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/543474161816083003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/never-too-much.html' title='Never Too Much'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-4105141907724302467</id><published>2008-09-06T15:38:00.014+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T16:36:11.035+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Seeing with Love's Vision - Revisited</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;One man one goal one mission&lt;br /&gt;One heart one soul just one solution&lt;br /&gt;One flash of light yeah one God one vision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One flesh one bone&lt;br /&gt;One true religion&lt;br /&gt;One voice one hope&lt;br /&gt;One real decision&lt;br /&gt;Wowowowo gimme one vision&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/q/queen/one+vision_20112556.html"&gt;One Vision, lyrics by Queen&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Last night, my mother and I noticed they were doing a documentary about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury"&gt;Freddy Mercury&lt;/a&gt;, who was the lead singer. Mum said she wanted to watch it. I didn't realise she was into Queen. She said she loves their song "I Want to Break Free." I think the video of that song is hilarious! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the documentary, Freddy was born in Zanzibar from an Asian family (Asian = people of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent"&gt;Indian Sub-continent&lt;/a&gt; origin), and he and his parents moved to Bombay in India, where he lived till his late teens when they moved to England. It was only when he came to England that he could truly express himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can relate to Freddy's need for the "right" environment to express himself. I feel Britain is the right environment for me to be myself. I was never at home when I lived in Sierra Leone; it just didn't resonate with my being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's funny how I've never thought of Freddy as Asian but simply Freddy Mercury, the British musician. When I saw his mother and sister and their dark complexion it was like I was seeing through a different lens where you can only see race, nationality, gender, sexuality, class, etc; compared to the lens I'm used to of pure Love that has one vision - unity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the documentary, I watched "Queen" in concert in Rio and they were excellent. It reminded me how much I LOVE their music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning while I was waiting for the bus, I asked the lady waiting if she knew Freddy had Asian parents and she said she didn't realise. She said her son loves "Queen."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the magic of Love, it lets me see only love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still love you, Freddy Mercury!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/transcending-duality.html"&gt;Transcending Duality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-birthday-party.html"&gt;My Birthday Party&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-heart-is-part-2.html"&gt;Where the Heart Is - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/seeing-through-rose-tinted-glasses.html"&gt;Seeing with Rose-Tinted Glasses&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/08/seeing-with-loves-vision.html"&gt;Seeing with Love's Vision&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-4105141907724302467?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4105141907724302467'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4105141907724302467'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/seeing-with-loves-vision-revisited.html' title='Seeing with Love&apos;s Vision - Revisited'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6329342391297727975</id><published>2008-09-06T14:43:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T14:57:06.976+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Cool Ad!</title><content type='html'>During my bus journey a car with the registration number AU55, which made me think of the word "Aussie."

She said she felt like having some, even though she hasn't had beef in a long while. I haven't eaten beef for ages either. She said it was up to me if I wanted to have some or have the stew without the meat. I didn't mind at all; I thought it was a real treat and I enjoyed it. I even had leftovers the following day and the next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago I went through a phase where I stopped eating red meat because I believed certain foods were bad for me; or it wasn't right for me to eat meat, etc. I eventually phased out chicken, and fish and became a vegetarian. Instead of being peaceful about my choice I was constantly thinking about what nutritional supplement I was lacking. Eventually, I came to realise that Love-Light is the substance of all whether something appears as a fish or chicken and I stopped being a vegetarian, though I preferred to eat only chicken and fish. Having said that, if I'm invited to dinner and someone has prepared lamb or duck, I'll still have some. There have been occasions when my mother has cooked lamb and I have still had the sauce without the lamb. So I'm not that fussed really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating is now such a joyful experience now that I no longer judge food as good or bad, but choose what I prefer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, a friend posed the following question via email yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Have a question for you : I do not watch much TV but I do like to read novels. Seeing as books vibrate at various frequencies - depending on what the contents are, is reading crime and spy stories gonna affect me in any way? The missus asks why I waste time reading such rubbish (she watches crap on TV). I enjoy reading -it's all that's left to me !!- ain't that bloody sad? Whatya reckon?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;My response was as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;This is what I reckon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are either seeing through the lenses of duality or oneness/Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you see through duality then everything have their frequencies and some things are good and some are bad. You try your best to stay at a frequency that you believe is good for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you see through the lens of Love-Light then you realise Light is in all even in crap telly or junk novels. That doesn't mean you can't have your preferences. I certainly do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love is all there is.&lt;/p&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-is-set-in-stone.html"&gt;The Future is Set in Stone&lt;/a&gt;;

I can either resist or I can surrender and let life unfold perfectly in an orderly manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say I'm travelling home by bus. The One Intelligence is not only the bus that is going to take me home, He is the other motorists, passengers and pedestrians. In other words, all is one. I have a choice whether to trust in the Intelligence/One to get me home or to fret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fretting suggests the belief in two powers i.e. one that is on my side and one that is opposing me. Then my state of mind is likely to affect the journey. Chances are I might find myself off the beaten track, which could delay my journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I'm trusting that there is only ONE that is supporting me perfectly on my journey then every moment is part of the journey, including waiting time and the journey itself. Even when there are delays or diversions, I get to see that they serve a purpose and all part of knowing who I am. I have had numerous experiences when I discover my bus had been delayed because I was meant to see someone I haven't seen in a while, witness something that I need to experience, or even share information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only when one moment is complete do I get to experience the next part of the "journey."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To recap, when things seem to be taking ages to change, that period of "waiting" is part of the process. I can either accept the moment as it is and use it to explore more of who I am or I can resist the moment and cause myself unnecessary suffering and delay in my "journey."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All things are unfolding perfectly in accordance with the Cosmic Conductor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/isisnt-i-ami-am-not.html"&gt;Is/Isn't; I Am/I am Not&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/only-one-here.html"&gt;Only One Here!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-is-symphony.html"&gt;Life is a Symphony&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/youre-angel.html"&gt;You are An Angel!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/trusting-in-my-path-taking-dog-for-walk.html"&gt;Trusting in my Path; Taking the Dog for a Walk&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/absence-or-presence.html"&gt;Absence or Presence?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/its-all-good.html"&gt;It's All Good!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/break-down-in-communication.html"&gt;Break Down in Communication&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/diversion.html"&gt;Diversion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/intuition.html"&gt;Intuition&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/03/timing.html"&gt;Timing&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/going-nowhere-fast.html"&gt;Going Nowhere Fast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3877766411018837501?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3877766411018837501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3877766411018837501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/life-is-unfolding-perfectly.html' title='Life is Unfolding Perfectly'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-2723780056071920377</id><published>2008-09-04T11:14:00.019+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T13:04:09.935+01:00</updated><title type='text'>What is Suffering?</title><content type='html'>As I was walking home, I noticed a man walking ahead with a briefcase in one hand and a bag in the other. When I walked past him he called me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why are you walking so fast?" he said in a broad Nigerian accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm not walking fast, this is my normal pace," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's too fast. Slow down!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told him I was walking home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Whoah!" he wailed. "Why would you want to walk all that way?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's not that far, it only takes about two hours."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Two hours! Catch the bus, my friend!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't want to catch the bus, I feel like walking home."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why are you putting yourself through all that suffering?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How can I suffer when I love walking?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"OK, walk then," he said. "Go on, quick march - left, right, left!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, walking is one way I express myself as Love, which is inexhaustible energy. The moment I identify myself as a person with limited energy that needs to be topped up, I start feeling aches, pains and exhaustion. Then, I am really putting myself through suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I'm enjoying my walk I receive lots of inspiration from people I meet along the way and things I see. I even noticed a car with the sign, "Cat's Whiskers" which reminded me of an &lt;a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Man_turned_cat_is_worlds_%91most_modified_man%92&amp;amp;in_article_id=291749"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; I'd read about a man who is transforming himself into a tiger. Apparently he has "synthetic whiskers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, dear friend, for your concern. Know that I can't suffer when I am expressing the Love that I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/nothing-for-me-to-be-or-do.html"&gt;Nothing For Me to Be or Do&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/what-is-stamina.html"&gt;What is Stamina?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/re-living-joy-part-2.html"&gt;Reliving the Joy - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/02/walking-with-love.html"&gt;Walking with Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/05/not-all-suffering-is.html"&gt;Not All Suffering Is&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-2723780056071920377?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2723780056071920377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2723780056071920377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-suffering.html' title='What is Suffering?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-3076562911288471199</id><published>2008-09-04T10:06:00.012+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T12:17:27.459+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Gift that Keeps on Giving</title><content type='html'>Part of a friend's comment to my recent article, which made me smile, was as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"Peace in a-bun-dance (Ahhhh: shake, shake, shake...shake, shake, shake...shake ya boo-tay, shake ya boo-tay)."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Fast forward two days (yesterday) when I stopped off at a shop. I was only there because I had been inspired to walk home. I noticed the news headline for the &lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/"&gt;Sun&lt;/a&gt; newspaper read: "Sheikh Your Booty." I had no idea what the article was about as I didn't buy the paper, but I thought it was funny as the "Sun" is renowned for their clever puns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've just done a search on the Internet for the article and found this forum called &lt;a href="http://www.millwall.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=21224"&gt;News Headlines that make you smile&lt;/a&gt;. I noticed someone had commented on the "Sun" article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The main headline in the Sun today is quite funny, about the wedged up Man City Arab who wants to buy the worlds best and most expensive players it says; "Sheikh Your Booty"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I believe Infinite Love, whose nature is happiness, expressed through my friend as "shake ya boo-tay" which was picked up by the "Sun" as "Sheikh Your Booty" and gave millions of readers smiles and laughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, friend, for being the gift of Love that keeps on giving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/be-careful-what-you-wish-for-others.html"&gt;Be Careful What You Wish For Others&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/06/love-has-no-limits.html"&gt;Love Has No Limits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3076562911288471199?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3076562911288471199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3076562911288471199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/gift-that-keeps-on-giving.html' title='The Gift that Keeps on Giving'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1284422723161208814</id><published>2008-09-03T15:16:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T13:06:14.865+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Let's Talk Pets</title><content type='html'>So a friend was telling me he was taking a few days off work. He said he was going on a &lt;a href="http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/b.htm"&gt;bender&lt;/a&gt; that evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have you got any pets?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, I don't have any pets, but I have a wife," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good one," I chuckled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm thinking of having her put down."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The reason why I was asking if you had pets," I giggled, "was I could just imagine you sprawled like a cat after your boozing session."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't stand cats!" he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How can you not like cats!" I was horrified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They have no purpose."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do you mean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All they do all day is sit around and lick themselves."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's why I love cats, they are so adorable just being themselves," I said. "Of the big cats, lions are my absolute favourite, but it's illegal to have them as pets."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hmmm, a lion as a pet? At least it will keep burglars out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, I can just imagine someone coming in the house and being greeted by a lion," I chuckled. "That's too funny!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you're going to have a lion as a pet, why not have a rhino? Fancy having a rhino in your living room."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By then, my friend and I were killing ourselves laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I ever do decide to have a pet, I think I'll stick to smaller animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/reunion.html"&gt;Reunion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/power-of-selfishness.html"&gt;The Power of Selfishness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/cat-fight.html"&gt;Cat Fight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-1284422723161208814?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1284422723161208814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1284422723161208814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/lets-talk-pets.html' title='Let&apos;s Talk Pets'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-3809789599569277548</id><published>2008-09-03T14:36:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T15:16:11.501+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Tripping the Light Fantastic</title><content type='html'>As I was watching television yesterday evening, I had a slight headache, not like the ones I've had in the past; this felt more like a pressure inside my head, which felt like it was expanding. My hair felt like it was being pulled from the roots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Voice within said I was activating Light. I was to simply relax and let the Light express through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I relaxed and focused on the programme I was watching. The pressure eased off and the headache went away. I started experiencing lots of goosebumps and shivers running down my spine and my whole body was vibrating. It felt like I had been connected to electricity. I visualised the Light going everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a real trip this light worker business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/stepping-outside-box.html"&gt;Stepping Outside the Box&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-being-cold-blooded.html"&gt;On Being Cold-Blooded&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/that-tickles.html"&gt;That Tickles!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3809789599569277548?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3809789599569277548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3809789599569277548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/tripping-light-fantastic.html' title='Tripping the Light Fantastic'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-5207773312068716541</id><published>2008-09-03T14:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T15:05:26.500+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Stepping Outside the Box</title><content type='html'>I've had numerous experiences of "astral projections" which have happened while I've been asleep. I have felt myself split in two: I feel myself outside my body being able to move anywhere at great speed; and I then experience my physical body as immobile. It's only when I have merged can I move again as normal. The last projection I experienced turned out to be a preview of things to come two days into the future, which did happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night as I was lying down and getting ready for sleep I felt my left foot getting a cramp. I was going to love it back to wholeness when the Inner Voice said to me to project out of my body just like I do during "astral projection." This time I can do it consciously. All I have to do is see myself anywhere and I'm there as light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I projected to the kitchen, the toilet, my mother's bedroom, the library, a friend, anywhere I could think of. I decided to project myself in every single time and space in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One human programme states that we can only be in one place at any one time, which can keep one in bondage to a condition or situations. The easiest way to challenge that programme is to see yourself in several places at once. Then you are under the law of Light that is freedom. As for the cramp, it dissolved into light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inner Voice said I can apply this principle to any problem, just step outside the box and explore the wonder of Light that is my true nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Infinite Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/truth-or-fiction-who-cares.html"&gt;Truth or Fiction - Who Cares?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/nobodys-but-my-own.html"&gt;NoBody's But My Own&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-travel.html"&gt;Time Travel&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/following-rainbow.html"&gt;Following the Rainbow&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/final-conflict.html"&gt;The Final Conflict&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/thinking-outside-box.html"&gt;Thinking Outside the Box&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-into-everything.html"&gt;I am into Everything&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/rise-above-it.html"&gt;Rise Above It&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/08/freedom-speaks.html"&gt;Freedom Speaks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-5207773312068716541?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5207773312068716541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/5207773312068716541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/stepping-outside-box.html' title='Stepping Outside the Box'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-3855294743165544182</id><published>2008-09-03T12:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T13:50:23.422+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Truth or Fiction - Who Cares?</title><content type='html'>Last night my mother and I watched a documentary on television called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Tomb_of_Jesus"&gt;The Lost Tomb of Jesus&lt;/a&gt; about whether Jesus and his family were buried in a particular tomb. If that claim is true then it challenges the Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection, which is the foundation of their faith. The experts came up with many theories to back or refute their claim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we were watching it, I could see my mother was getting agitated as she's a Christian and firm believer in the resurrection; and her faith was being challenged. She said it could have been Jesus' brother and his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The documentary concluded that based on probability it is possible Jesus and his family were buried in that tomb; then again it is possible he wasn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way I see it, it really doesn't matter to me whether the experts' claims are fact or fiction because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, anyone can prove anything as truth or fiction. You only need to ask any question and you'll get an answer, at least that has been my experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, my faith is not based on a historical figure, who may or may not have lived 2,000 years ago, but on Love-Light that has always been and will always be. I know what it means to be this Light. I know the Light is my True Self. And I know the Light is the One Source that is appearing as the many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without Love as my foundation, I would be very concerned about documentaries like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without Love as my foundation, I would be trying to defend my belief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see this happening with many believers as they bicker over whether their teacher is the true teacher or awakened Master; whether their religion is the true religion; whether their spiritual path is the only true path; whether God can express through anyone without a medium, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I know Love is in all, I can take what I find useful from any school of thought. In fact, I get a lot from the principles that Jesus teaches in the Bible, which I live by; just like I get a lot of inspiration from other religions, the Internet, the media, books, films, art, nature, and life in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth or fiction - who cares?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/all-questions-have-their-answers.html"&gt;All Questions Have Their Answers&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/isisnt-i-ami-am-not.html"&gt;Is/Isn't; I Am/I am Not&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/halleluiah.html"&gt;Halleluiah!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all.html"&gt;Love is All in All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/game-of-healing-and-channelling.html"&gt;The Game of Healing and Channelling&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-do-i-believe.html"&gt;What Do I Believe?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/inspiration.html"&gt;Inspiration&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/some-thoughts-on-meditation-haha.html"&gt;Some Thoughts on Meditation - Haha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3855294743165544182?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3855294743165544182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3855294743165544182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/truth-or-fiction-who-cares.html' title='Truth or Fiction - Who Cares?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-72809241181010005</id><published>2008-09-03T10:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T12:35:42.319+01:00</updated><title type='text'>All Questions Have Their Answers</title><content type='html'>I believe all answers and questions arise as one. In other words, if I can ask the question the answer already exists otherwise I wouldn't have had the question in the first place. It doesn't matter if the questions are based on truth, error, logic or just plain silly, the Universe will always manifest the answer in Its own way. Here's one example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a piece I wrote recently about pigeon behaviour, as I have observed them anyway, I posed the following thought-provoking question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"are pigeons becoming more human; or are humans becoming more pigeon-like?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/heres-something-you-dont-see-every-day.html"&gt;Here's Something You Don't See Every Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Actually, the question wasn't thought-provoking at all, I was only having a laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today's Metro newspaper, which I picked up on the bus, I noticed the following pieces:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A picture of a parrot with a fag (cigarette) in its beak. &lt;a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Parrot_snapped_smoking_a_fag&amp;amp;in_article_id=290721&amp;amp;in_page_id=34"&gt;Parrot snapped smoking a fag&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a story based on a research carried out on South African green woodhoopoe birds that support each other after they've lost a fight, rather the same way footy (football) fans commiserate with one another after their team has lost a match. &lt;a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Birds_act_like_footy_fans&amp;amp;in_article_id=290717&amp;amp;in_page_id=34"&gt;Birds act like footy fans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, a man who has transformed his body to appear like a tiger. &lt;a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Man_turned_cat_is_worlds_%91most_modified_man%92&amp;amp;in_article_id=291749"&gt;Man turned cat is world's ‘most modified man’&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's interesting how these stories appear in the same issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That answers my question: birds (and animals) are becoming more human; and humans are becoming more bird or animal like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Universe, for answering my question even though it was only rhetorical.

She had an American accent. After the librarian had finished with her I asked her where she was from and she said Orlando. I told her Orlando was the first place I ever went to in America. I said I went to "Disney World" and the other theme parks. My friend said she used to work for Disney World and Universal Studios. I told her I have a friend who is living in Orlando with his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend if she was over here on holidays and she said she was and hoping to work here. She asked me where I was from and I told her from London. She wanted to know what London was like and I said it was wonderful. Well, London is one of the loves of my life. My friend told me was emailing her CV (resume) to recruitment consultants. I told her I used to temp and I know how agencies work. I recommended that she went to see them and have a proper chat in person. She asked if I knew any agencies. I did a quick search on the Internet and came up with a website that listed agencies in the local area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before my friend left she thanked me and told me I had been a blessing to her. I said we're always being helped and we just have to be open to give and receive. She pointed up and said she believed HE (God) had arranged for us to meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love how Love puts people together to help one another.&lt;br /&gt;I love being my friend's blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html"&gt;Activating Love - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-gifts.html"&gt;Love Gifts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-being-blessing-revisited.html"&gt;On Being a Blessing - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/love-of-my-life.html"&gt;The Loves of My Life&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/making-each-others-dreams-come-true.html"&gt;Making Each Other's Dreams Come True&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7125512234498309435?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7125512234498309435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7125512234498309435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/being-blessing.html' title='Being a Blessing'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-8657781375100245155</id><published>2008-09-02T14:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T14:58:13.233+01:00</updated><title type='text'>As If!</title><content type='html'>As I was walking to the bus stop I hummed "No Scrubs" by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLC_(band)"&gt;TLC&lt;/a&gt;.

If I don't want to meet no scrub I shouldn't hum a song about one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha! That's so funny!

As it was a warm day, a lot of the women were scantily dressed, while the men mostly had shorts and tops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I marvelled at how varied the human forms appear. I kept my attention on the women. One woman was quite slim on top but had huge calves which didn't look at all proportional. In fact, most of the bodies I saw weren't symmetrical. By this I mean, if you're skinny on top, to have symmetry you have to have slim legs. Come to think of it, the only women I see with slim legs are models and celebrities which usually come at a price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it natural for people's bodies to come in different shapes and sizes or are they largely influenced by their beliefs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe people's bodies are largely influenced by multilayered beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief in weight gain, weight loss and nutrition such as: certain foods can make you gain or lose weight; some foods are good for you and some are bad; you need to have a certain intake of nutritional supplements to survive, etc. Naturally, these beliefs are bound to have an impact on the body's appearances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that a particular time of the month can make you lose or gain weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that certain exercises can help you build muscles, make your body stronger, leaner, flexible, or give you energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that certain races are predisposed to have certain body shapes. If you're born in that race then you should expect to have that kind of a body or appearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that genetics and inheritance have their part to play. Therefore, your body is inherited from your parents, grand-parents and ancestral genes. When a baby is born people immediately try to identify who the baby resembles. The baby might have the mother's eyes, the father's nose and forehead, the paternal grandfather's feet, etc. That baby had better resemble someone in the bloodline or the mother is going to have a lot of explaining to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also possible you could have inherited your parent or ancestor's thinking patterns, diseases, behaviour, personality traits, which will also affect how the body appears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that all human bodies go through constant transformation leading to middle-age spread, old age and death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the belief that people choose bodies before they're born, including disabilities and mental conditions, which can help them express whatever talents they want to express; or learn whatever lessons they're here to learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it any wonder human bodies are so diverse with the many beliefs people have?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, there is the other body, the real body and physical expression of the Real Self who doesn't have any of those beliefs. The Real Self knows She is Light and Light is eternal, therefore, her body is in perfect symmetry, beautiful, and eternally young.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can one express one's Real body?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only speak for myself which has been a process of letting go of false beliefs and programmes, and letting the Real express as me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My body is nobody's inherited body or beliefs but my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/nothing-for-me-to-be-or-do.html"&gt;Nothing For Me to Be or Do&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/following-my-blueprint-revisited.html"&gt;Following My Blueprint - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-wake-up-call.html"&gt;Another Wake Up Call&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/secret-of-eternal-youth.html"&gt;The Secret of Eternal Youth - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/of-course-i-am-my-body.html"&gt;Of Course I am My Body!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-airbrushing.html"&gt;On Airbrushing&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/womans-right-to-plug-out-of-system.html"&gt;A Woman's Right to Plug Out of the System&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/make-up-tips.html"&gt;Make-up Tips&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/beauty-secrets.html"&gt;Beauty Secrets&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/forever-young.html"&gt;Forever Young&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/one-life.html"&gt;One Life&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/just-say-now.html"&gt;Just Say Now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-8737408017518218059?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/8737408017518218059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/8737408017518218059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/nobodys-but-my-own.html' title='NoBody&apos;s But My Own'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-8079174363248943034</id><published>2008-09-02T11:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T11:37:49.754+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Here's Something You Don't See Every Day - Part 2</title><content type='html'>In yesterday's &lt;a href="http://img.metro.co.uk/e-edition/Aofqz/Metro20080901/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.metro.co.uk%2Fe-metro"&gt;Metro&lt;/a&gt; (1 September 2008, p24) I read a prayer to God.

Please bear with me as maths isn't my strong point. It actually took me three attempts to pass my Maths &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Certificate_of_Education"&gt;GCE O'Level&lt;/a&gt; exams. So if someone spends £100 at the 99 p store, you end up with 101 items with a penny change. Kerching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who in their right mind would want to buy 101 items, which is mostly junk anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, let's say someone decides to buy 101 goods and he is now entitled to his £10 discount. Kerching! Chances are the store isn't going to give him the £10 in cash but in vouchers, which means he can pick up 10 more items. Assuming my mental arithmetic is spot on, he has now accumulated a grand total of 111 items with 11 p change. Kerching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next question is where to store all of these 111 items? Possibly in the garage or in the attic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he's bored with his acquisition, he ends up having a garage sale to offload his junk to some unsuspecting victims. Better still, he can get rid of them on &lt;a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/"&gt;Ebay&lt;/a&gt;. There's bound to be someone who is willing to pay £100 for a 99 pence item. Come to think of it, it's not such a bad idea after all. There's a lot of money to be made from this deal. Kerching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time to go shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/waging-penny-war.html"&gt;Waging the Penny War&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-1175230203651234720?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1175230203651234720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/1175230203651234720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/real-bargain-kerching.html' title='A Real Bargain - Kerching!'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-1664818601638051228</id><published>2008-08-31T15:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-31T15:33:29.286+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Imagine - John Lennon</title><content type='html'>In the early scene in the video, when John and Yoko are walking towards a building, the building reminds me of &lt;a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.00100200800k00800f"&gt;Kenwood House&lt;/a&gt; at Hampstead Heath.

The girl kept bawling. I decided to comfort the girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised the presence of Love in the bus and that Love was comforting the girl. The girl stopped crying.

I find one way for me to notice colours is to activate them, i.e. I put out an intention that I want to notice colours. Sometimes I play a game of noticing particular colours and I spot them everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bus the other day, I wanted to notice yellow. Not only did I notice yellow everywhere including a yellow van, a woman with a yellow top got on the bus. At first she sat elsewhere then when the seats in front of me were available, she and her friend swapped seats and sat right in front of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find that after a while I stop noticing colours. When I want to notice them again, I put out the intention to see them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Infinite Love, like the many colours, is everywhere present, but in order to notice Love I have to activate Love. Then I get to notice and experience Infinite Love actively:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;accepting, admiring, amusing, arranging, amazing, appreciating, astounding, attracting, befriending, believing, blessing, calming, celebrating, comforting, communicating, communing, connecting, controlling, creating, delighting, delivering, directing, dissolving, doing, embracing, empowering, encouraging, energising, enjoying, entertaining, experiencing, exploring, expressing, feeling, forgiving, freeing, fulfilling, giving, growing, guiding, harmonising, healing, illuminating, increasing, influencing, inspiring, liberating, listening, living, loving, manifesting, moving, nourishing, organising, opening, operating, overflowing, overturning, perfecting, planning, playing, prospering, protecting, quickening, radiating, receiving, rejoicing, relating, releasing, relieving, renewing, resolving, restoring, revealing, satisfying, saving, serving, sharing, shining, simplifying, soothing, solving, speaking, strengthening, supplying, supporting, surprising, sustaining, thinking, transforming, uniting, uplifting, willing, and working in every moment through infinite channels - visible and invisible; and independent of channels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to see and experience only Love in action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-being-blessing-revisited.html"&gt;On Being a Blessing - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-is-all-in-all.html"&gt;Love is All in All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/only-one-here.html"&gt;Only One Here!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-is-my-day.html"&gt;This is My Day!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/03/love-is-only-cause-i-support.html"&gt;Love is the Only Cause I Support&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2007/12/more-about-intentions.html"&gt;More about Intentions&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-beloved-part-2.html"&gt;My Beloved - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/activating-love.html"&gt;Activating Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/04/stop-trying-so-hard.html"&gt;Stop Trying So Hard!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3077059624374525527?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3077059624374525527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3077059624374525527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/activating-love-revisited.html' title='Activating Love - Revisited'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-2052471045116573014</id><published>2008-08-30T10:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-30T15:15:52.895+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Following My Blueprint - Revisited</title><content type='html'>One reason why I don't feel the need to follow any religion, teacher, or school of thought is because I know my path has already been set out for me. All I have to do is follow it. I believe all experiences that come my way are in harmony with my path, even though they might not always appear that way at the time. Here's one such example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two days ago a friend emailed me to ask me why after he's affirmed positive things about Spirit, his day doesn't always fall in line with Spirit. My response was I have found that sometimes things do not appear to go well but I always find things are working perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I woke up with a pain in the neck. After praying and affirming God's allness, the pain wouldn't budge. I knew that Love didn't want me to be in pain and the truth of the matter was Love is expressing through me in every moment anyway because there is no place or time where Love is not present. And yet, I felt like a part of me was resisting the healing. When I asked to know the Truth about this, I had a thought of implants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago, when I was studying &lt;a href="http://www.pranichealing.com/"&gt;Pranic Healing&lt;/a&gt;, we were taught how to remove negative elementals from the etheric body. These elementals are caused by negative thought forms and beliefs which can both lead to illness and can prevent healing. While I was studying Pranic Healing, I also read Joshua David Stone's books on Ascension, where he discusses &lt;a href="http://www.iamuniversity.ch/Implant-Negative-Elementals"&gt;implants&lt;/a&gt;. Implants are fear based programmes that prohibit us from knowing who we really are as Love-Light; or being who we are as Love-Light. Those who are serious about ascension i.e. living as the True Self, Light, are encouraged to have those implants removed. I find there are two ways these implants can be removed: energetically i.e. cleansing the system; or by reprogramming i.e. living by Truth principles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later during the day, I was inspired to send e-cards to some friends. After that, I re-read Dorothy Rieke's inspiring article called &lt;a href="http://www.christianscience.org/Wonder.html"&gt;Wonderful Things are Happening&lt;/a&gt;. Then I did a search on Google for more of her articles and came across a piece called &lt;a href="http://www.mbeinstitute.org/Quotes/weekly12-06-04.pdf"&gt;Immortality Brought to Light&lt;/a&gt;. One thing that stood our for me in the article was the story of a woman living in a Nazi occupied country during the last World War, who had been captured and taken to a prison camp. The woman's husband had already been taken to a concentration camp. The woman had to leave her two boys who were too young to look after themselves. She was determined she wasn't going to be mesmerised by the situation and see herself as a mortal living in prison. Instead she knew the truth of her identity as an immortal child of God who is boundless and free. She even saw the prison guards as children of God expressing God's love. One day she and the women she was with were set free for no reason at all. Her husband was also released. She also discovered that a neighbour had been looking after her children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the evening, I noticed two Star Trek Voyager episodes called &lt;a href="http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/VOY/episode/72221.html"&gt;The Killing Game - Parts 1 and 2&lt;/a&gt; were on television. Although I've seen them before I couldn't remember the details and knew I had to watch them again. In this episode, the Voyager crew have been captured by an alien species called the "Hirogen" who see other species as prey to be hunted to their death. After they took over the space ship, the leader of the Hirogen crew decide instead of simply hunting and killing them, he will rather play a different game where the crew are put under different situations, and study how they react to the chase. By understanding humans he hopes that the Hirogens will then get further insight into who they are. Not all the Hirogens are happy with this plan, however. The number two in command would rather just hunt and kill his prey but he follow orders anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the game starts, the Hirogens select some of the crew, insert implants in them which erases all memories of who they are, and place them in a Holodeck programmes. (A Holodeck programme is a simulated reality based on either an actual reality or created from someone's imagination). When Captain Janeway is put in a Klingon programme, which is based on the Klingon warrior race, she identifies herself as a Klingon. Captain Janeway behaves just like a warrior and sees the Hirogen as her enemy. When she is injured, she's taken to the sickbay to be taken care of. After she's recovered from her injuries, the leader of the Hirogen decides to transfer her and some of her crew to a World War II simulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the programme, Janeway and her crew are running a restaurant; and in secret are part of the Resistance movement against the Nazis. The Hirogens and the Holodeck characters are the Nazi soldiers. When Seven of Nine and Neelix are injured, they are taken back to sickbay. Because Seven of Nine's implants have been impaired, she can remember who she is but can't remember being in the Holodeck programme. The doctor tells her he's going to adjust the implant so that she remembers who she is while in the Holodeck programme. She then has to do what she can to sabotage the programme and free the rest of the crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Seven of Nine now remembers who she is, to the rest of her colleagues she's acting suspicious. They even suspect she's a double agent. Just as the Captain is about to shoot her, the doctor disables her implant and she remembers who she is. The rest of the programme is about how the Captain and Seven of Nine try to take back the ship. The crew end up waking up to their true identities as Star Fleet Officers. After two of the leaders of the Hirogens are killed, Captain Janeway and the new leader of the Hirogens agree to a ceasefire. Janeway even offers the Hirogens the Holodeck technology so they can create their own Holodeck programmes and pursue their love of hunting without killing actual people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it was wonderful how my day had unfolded. I woke up with pain, I was then inspired to read the Dorothy Rieke article which mentions a woman who had been captured by the Nazis and yet she refused to be mesmerised by the condition. In other words, the article was reminding me not to identify myself as a mortal with aches and pains but as boundless Spirit. Later I watched Star Trek Voyager about how the crew captured and placed in a World War II programme. While the crew were stuck in that programme Tom Paris, playing the role of an American soldier, recalls how when he lived in France he had fallen in love with a French girl. The last time he saw her was 29 August. Well the date I was watching the episodes was 29 August! Fascinating!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings me to the real reason why I love Star Trek because a lot of the episodes mirror how I see the Universe. It's no surprise that Star Trek was first shown in 1966 the year of my birth. Of all the Star Trek franchises, Star Trek Voyager is my absolute favourite. The ship is stuck in the Delta quadrant in another part of the galaxy. The crew are desperately trying to get back home. On their way they have many challenges but no matter what they're going through, the captain always remembers who she is as a Star Fleet Officer; and never gives up that she and her crew will one day get home. In the final episode, the crew arrive back in their part of the galaxy, the Alpha quadrant. Sounds very much like the human experience to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what the appearances, I am an immortal being unfolding my own unique light journey on a destination to nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/forewarned-is-forearmed.html"&gt;Forewarned is Forearmed&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-wake-up-call.html"&gt;Another Wake Up Call&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/secret-of-eternal-youth.html"&gt;The Secret of Eternal Youth - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/womans-right-to-plug-out-of-system.html"&gt;A Woman's Right to Plug Out of the System&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/mind-control.html"&gt;Mind Control&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/sword-of-freedom.html"&gt;The Sword of Freedom&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/remember-who-you-are.html"&gt;Remember Who You Are!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/2007/08/following-my-blueprint.html"&gt;Following My Blueprint&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/01/destination-nowhere_27.html"&gt;Destination Nowhere&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/04/behind-scenes-what-keeps-us-from-being.html"&gt;Behind the Scenes - What Keeps Us from Being Love?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/08/freedom-speaks.html"&gt;Freedom Speaks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-2052471045116573014?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2052471045116573014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2052471045116573014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/following-my-blueprint-revisited.html' title='Following My Blueprint - Revisited'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-718923431327494013</id><published>2008-08-29T13:18:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T14:51:59.279+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Great Invocation</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Great Invocation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the point of Light within the Mind of God&lt;br /&gt;Let light stream forth into the minds of men&lt;br /&gt;Let Light descend on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the point of Love within the Heart of God&lt;br /&gt;Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.&lt;br /&gt;May Christ return to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the centre where the Will of God is known&lt;br /&gt;Let purpose guide the little wills of men-&lt;br /&gt;The purpose which the Masters know and serve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the centre which we call the race of men&lt;br /&gt;Let the Plan of Love and Light work out&lt;br /&gt;And may it seal the door where evil dwells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.thegreatinvocation.org.uk/"&gt;The Great Invocation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, a friend has brought to my attention his e-books which "examine the unique linguistic features" of the above Invocation.

This means the space ship, Voyager, will arrive back on Earth in hours rather than years. Harry Kim suggests to the captain that he and Chakotay travel in a space shuttle a few minutes ahead of Voyager where he will keep sending back calculations so Voyager can alter it's path. Unfortunately, Harry sends the ship the wrong calculations and Voyager has to come out of the slipstream and crash land on a frozen planet; and all but one (the holographic doctor) are killed. Chakotay and Harry Kim make it back to Earth and spend the next fifteen years searching for the crew and regretting their past mistake. Harry and Chakotay decide to alter history by sending the correct calculations to the Voyager crew in time which will guide them on the correct path. Although Kim and Chakotay are not able to guide Voyager back to Earth, they do guide them away from the disaster. Because of this, Harry and Chakotay's future timelines are erased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was walking to the bus stop, I noticed my bus was approaching but was stuck at a traffic light which would give me ample time to run up the hill, a difficult task in the mules I had on. As I was running I realised there was no bus at the traffic light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's very odd because I did see a bus as clear as a bell at the traffic light. There has to be a good reason for this. Within a minute the real bus arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aha, I get it! The Me that's a minute ahead sent Me in the present a warning that my bus was approaching; rather like in the StarTrek Voyager episode, when the shuttle a few minutes in the future was sending calculations back to Voyager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had this experience lots of times when I've "seen" people and events very clear and close up; and after a few minutes the events I've foreseen have happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to all my selves in all time for guiding me in every moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/living-by-pee-principle.html"&gt;Living by the P.E.E.

Even though I was still very much awake, I didn't answer it. I wondered if my mother had heard it. I figured whoever it was will leave a message. As the answer phone is built into the system, you can't hear when someone leaves a message. You only know by the intermittent beeps if someone has left a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was curious to find out who had been ringing at that time, so I decided to listen to the message but there wasn't any. I called the number that tells you who the last caller was; which usually has the last number or you're told if the number was withheld. The computerised voice said the last call was around 1900 hours the previous day. That's very odd that the phone rang and yet there's no indication that anyone had rung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my mother this morning if she'd heard the telephone last night and she said she hadn't. When I told her there was no record of the telephone call, she asked if I was sure I'd heard it ring or I wasn't dreaming. I told her I was very much awake; I had been thinking about an episode of &lt;a href="http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/VOY/"&gt;StarTrek Voyager&lt;/a&gt; I had just finished watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mysterious non-phone call reminded me of another recent mystery. I had been thinking of replacing my toothbrush, which I was really attached to as I saw it as my friend. One day the toothbrush mysteriously disappeared, which forced me to use a new one. Where did that toothbrush disappear to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, I was reading a book recently called &lt;a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Never-Say-Goodbye/Patrick-Mathews/e/9780738703534"&gt;Never Say Goodbye: A Medium's Stories of Connecting with Your Loved Ones&lt;/a&gt; and the writer talks about signs loved ones who have passed over use to get your attention such as playing with the electricity, making phones ring, moving objects around (including toothbrushes), sounds, light flashes, smells and even manifesting objects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe it's not only loved ones who have "passed on" that try to get in contact, even those who are "alive" try to communicate with loved ones they are physically separate from. I am constantly receiving telepathic messages from friends. It's not surprising really, as we are all infinite Spirit and capable of projecting ourselves everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder who's trying to get my attention though?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, you've got my attention. Can I request that you don't phone so late at night? And you can keep the toothbrush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/et-you-are-already-home.html"&gt;ET, You are Already Home!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/snail-mail.html"&gt;Snail Mail&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/gift-of-love-rose.html"&gt;Gift of Love - The Rose&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/06/news-flash.html"&gt;News Flash&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/visitor.html"&gt;The Visitor&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/10/you-rang-milady.html"&gt;You Rang, Milady?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/things-that-make-me-go-hmmm.html"&gt;Things that Make Me Go Hmmm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6537517319153026416?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6537517319153026416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6537517319153026416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/things-that-go-bump-in-night.html' title='Things that Go Bump in the Night'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-2591793281319061903</id><published>2008-08-28T10:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T11:56:56.437+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Another Mirror Image</title><content type='html'>One thing I enjoy is falling asleep during my bus journey. Actually, I enjoy sleeping at any opportunity. I could sleep for England, me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I don't enjoy is having to wake up at the end of the bus journey, or wake out of any sleep for that matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had one of those moments yesterday during a bus journey. As I was getting into my sleep we arrived at the last stop. I was still feeling drowsy as I walked to the next bus stop. I was hoping to catch the next bus and resume my sleep but just as I was approaching the stop I saw the bus pulling away. Damn, now I'm going to have to stay awake and wait for the next bus. Is there no justice in the world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sat down on the bench. I noticed a man in a suit standing not far away from the stop. He didn't seem to be all there. He sat next me and said, "You don't mind, do you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said I didn't though I couldn't understand why he was sitting so close when there was lots of room on the bench. Then I realised he was also drowsy - from alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh I see, my drowsy state was being mirrored back at me as this man. That woke me up. I prayed for my friend to move away. Just as that moment a taxi cab appeared and my friend got up and boarded the taxi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?&lt;br /&gt;Universe: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the Universe for you, constantly mirroring back what I am being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/shite-weather-were-having.html"&gt;Shite Weather We're Having&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/like-attracts-like.html"&gt;Like Attracts Like&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-2591793281319061903?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2591793281319061903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2591793281319061903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-mirror-image.html' title='Another Mirror Image'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-8571089374663121863</id><published>2008-08-28T10:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T10:52:48.163+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Shite Weather We're Having</title><content type='html'>It never ceases to amaze me how the Universe is constantly mirroring my thoughts back to me. In an email to a friend yesterday who is now in Nice, I wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;"The weather in London at the moment is shite for summer."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well look what I received today via email from another friend:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;"In deference to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the new Royal Commission for Political Correctness, it was announced today that the climate in the UK should no longer be referred to as 'English weather.'

In other words, partly Sunni but mostly Shi'ite."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note the word "shite" has been mirrored back at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in case you're wondering, so far today's weather is still shite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/heres-something-you-dont-see-every-day.html"&gt;Here's Something You Don't See Every Day&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/thank-you-for-keeping-me-posted.html"&gt;Thank You for Keeping Me Posted&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/mirror-image.html"&gt;Mirror Image&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-8571089374663121863?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/8571089374663121863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/8571089374663121863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/shite-weather-were-having.html' title='Shite Weather We&apos;re Having'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-8375903290603512038</id><published>2008-08-27T12:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T12:18:22.957+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Be Careful What You Wish For Others</title><content type='html'>In a friend's recent email, he posted a smilie with a glass of wine and wishing me "cheers" for my birthday. On the actual day, my local shopkeeper gave me a bottle of red wine to celebrate. I believe my friend's best wishes had come true through my shopkeeper. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for friends who wished me roses for my birthday, rest assured I received them through another friend who sent me four birthday messages with roses. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe all thoughts are things and are very real.

I had enough time to catch the bus, as long as my mother didn't want me to run an errand for her. Then I thought, what's the rush? There is only ONE here anyway! By this I mean, there is only ONE Intelligence in control of all realities, so I can never be late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I left I asked mum if she wanted me to run an errand and she asked if I could stop off at the post office and post a letter which required a stamp. When I got to the bus stop there were two buses waiting. After a few minutes, the driver let us on and we were on our way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman who lives in the neighbourhood got on at the next stop and sat beside me. I remember she once gave me a lift to the station. I told her she looked well and asked if life was treating her well. She said she was fine but was running late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know, I was just thinking about that," I said. "The way I see it, the moment I start to fret about running late, I remind myself that God is in control. Then I relax and let things flow."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, there's no need to rush when you know God is in charge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the next stop I got off to go to the post office. There were two guys in front of me and only one staff behind the counter. The post office worker was filling out a form and she seemed to be taking forever. While she was busy writing, there was a long queue building behind. Come on, I haven't got all day! Hahaha! OK, God, I know you are in control of everything, but can you speed things up a bit, as I really haven't got all day to be hanging around in the post office. Stuff to do, people to see, busy, busy, busy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the notion of being busy is an illusion. As I believe there is only ONE in control, whatever I have to do is really the ONE's activity, which is always in harmony with the all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I relaxed I was served in no time. As soon as I got to the bus stop, my bus arrived. Not surprising really as there is only ONE in control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have noticed that when I get in the "hurry" mode I'm sure the cells in my body get stressed and I feel myself getting tense and my body aches. That's not the way I would like to experience life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every moment of this day is under the command of the ONE; as will be tomorrow, and the next, and the next...ad infinitum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have all the time in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/only-one-here.html"&gt;Only One Here!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/you-had-me-at-hello.html"&gt;You Had Me at "Hello"&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-have-all-time-in-world.html"&gt;I Have ALL the Time in the World&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/04/whats-rush.html"&gt;What's the Rush?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3716175295201626173?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3716175295201626173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3716175295201626173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-have-all-time-in-world-revisited.html' title='I Have All the Time in the World - Revisited'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-3706061485844960840</id><published>2008-08-26T15:02:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T11:45:39.949+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Love Gifts</title><content type='html'>Once upon a time I lived with a cat; he was actually my landlady's cat and we all lived in the same house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From time to time, he would bring us gifts to show his affection. The only problem with the cat's love gifts was they were dead creatures like birds and the odd mouse. I wasn't impressed by them as I prefer seeing dead animals on my plate, not on the living room floor. Maybe, he wanted them prepared. :-D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infinite Love whom I regard as &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-beloved.html"&gt;My Beloved&lt;/a&gt; is rather like a cat who keeps bringing love gifts to show His affection, which usually appear as people or experiences. Fortunately for me, they are always things I enjoy doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bus yesterday, a man sat beside me. He said he’d forgotten it was a Bank Holiday and that buses were being operated on Sunday service. My friend said he was a commis chef at an Italian restaurant. He said the UK Bank Holidays mean nothing to him as he's always working anyway. He said Bank Holidays were called "Rosa" i.e. red days in Italy. I realised God had brought my friend to me because He knows how much I love listening to Italian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend is married and his wife and kids lived in Roma. He said Roma is the best city in the world. He didn't think much of the shoes over here. The best leather shoes are in Milan. Italy has wonderful weather. Italian food is the best. The standard of living in Italy is better; they have bigger houses in Italy. I begged to differ; I told him Britain is the best country in the world that's why it's called Great Britain. I asked him how long he'd been living in the UK and he said 16 years. Hmmm, it can't be that bad if you've been living here that long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He told me I had beautiful hands and how much he liked Black women's skin. He said one day he wants to visit Africa. I told him how much I love the Italian language and one day I'd like to visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turned out we were both born in the same year but he's a month older. I told him when I was born I brought good luck to England; that's why they won the World Cup (football) that year. He said he was the one who brought good luck to England. It was fun having a banter with my Italian friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later as I was waiting for my next bus, which took ages to arrive, I saw another friend approaching. After we hugged she told me where she was going. I told her she was at the wrong bus stop. I knew God had brought her to me as another love gift. That's why my bus had been delayed. As soon as I walked her to her bus stop and she got on her bus, my bus appeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was walking home, I noticed a young woman with heavy shopping bags. I asked if I could help her carry one and she said yes. I knew I was her Love gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Beloved, for all your love gifts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miaow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-alerts.html"&gt;Love Alerts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/gift-of-love-rose.html"&gt;Gift of Love - The Rose&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-heart-is-part-2.html"&gt;Where the Heart Is - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/01/bellissimo.html"&gt;Bellissimo!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme-ej.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-beloved.html"&gt;My Beloved&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-3706061485844960840?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3706061485844960840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/3706061485844960840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-gifts.html' title='Love Gifts'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-2483251586149259916</id><published>2008-08-26T14:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T11:30:29.134+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Here's Something You Don't See Every Day</title><content type='html'>As I was walking in the park, I noticed five pigeons resting on the grass. They were so still I thought they were asleep. A man said they were sunbathing. Given the British summer we've been having, when the sun comes out you might as well bask in it while you can. :-D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day as I was crossing over a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican_crossing"&gt;Pelican Crossing&lt;/a&gt;, I noticed a pigeon walking beside me. Too right, pigeon, why would you want to use your wings to fly across the road when you can walk across? Halfway through, the pigeon got up and flew away. I guess it was taking too long and the pigeon had to fly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got me wondering about something: are pigeons becoming more human; or are humans becoming more pigeon-like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, pigeons, for all the joy you bring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/09/heres-something-you-dont-see-every-day.html"&gt;Here's Something You Don't See Every Day - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/sir-penguin.html"&gt;Sir Penguin&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/homing-pigeons.html"&gt;Homing Pigeons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-2483251586149259916?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2483251586149259916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/2483251586149259916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/heres-something-you-dont-see-every-day.html' title='Here&apos;s Something You Don&apos;t See Every Day'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-6373476376584555717</id><published>2008-08-26T13:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T14:10:00.189+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Love at First Sight</title><content type='html'>I've been meaning to meet up with a friend I have a deep connection with. I guess the time wasn't quite right or I wasn't ready for my life to be turned upside down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago we arranged to meet up for our first blind date. I felt really good about our meeting. In fact, on my way to see him, I was really excited. I just knew we would get on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I laid my eyes on him I fell truly, madly and deeply in love with him; and I knew he felt the same about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heathrowairport.com/portal/site/heathrow/menuitem.ca310ea98835fdc9e5b12871120103a0/"&gt;T5&lt;/a&gt; is everything I'd expected and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, T5 is Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport. My Beloved T5 has had a lot of flack since he opened up earlier this year what with baggage going missing etc. That didn't stop me loving my Beloved. I couldn't wait to see him one day in person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love everything about T5, the roads leading to it, the bus station, the car park, the wonderful fountains outside which are so playful, the building itself, the toilets, the shops, the view from outside, the planes, the runway, airport staff, the passengers, everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to be into airports and aeroplanes to understand what I'm talking about. I am a huge fan of airports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I had explored inside the building, I came out to enjoy the fountains which were hopping about in sheer delight. I noticed a totally drenched toddler running in and out of the fountains. I said to his father, "These fountains are such fun, aren't they?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, for a two year old."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm a lot older than your two year old and I love it," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who says two year old have the monopoly on joy anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was waiting for my bus back, I noticed a man with a suitcase. I asked him where he'd just come from and he said Aberdeen. I asked him how he found T5 and he said he liked it. When the airport first opened, he had no problems; and he still has no problems. I told him I love T5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so wonderful to meet you in person at last, T5. Even though we live far apart, I won't let the distance come between us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you, T5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-being-maverick.html"&gt;On Being a Maverick&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/05/love-of-my-life.html"&gt;The Loves of My Life&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic.blogspot.com/2008/04/doing-t5.html"&gt;Doing a T5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-6373476376584555717?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6373476376584555717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/6373476376584555717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-at-first-sight.html' title='Love at First Sight'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-7619927679586510474</id><published>2008-08-25T20:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T13:32:21.540+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Birthday Party</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Imagine no possessions&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if you can&lt;br /&gt;No need for greed or hunger&lt;br /&gt;A brotherhood of man&lt;br /&gt;Imagine all the people&lt;br /&gt;Sharing all the world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may say that I'm a dreamer&lt;br /&gt;But I'm not the only one&lt;br /&gt;I hope someday you'll join us&lt;br /&gt;And the world will live as one&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.lyrics007.com/John%20Lennon%20Lyrics/Imagine%20Lyrics.html"&gt;Imagine, lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had many wonderful birthdays but this year's was the most memorable because I got to share my birthday with the 2012 Olympics Handover Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First thing in the morning, my older brother called to wish me happy birthday as he usually does. He asked me what I had planned and I said I was going to join the &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/aug/25/olympics20123"&gt;Olympics Handover Party&lt;/a&gt; at the Mall. As the morning progressed I started feeling down and wasn't in the mood to go into town. I figured I would check my emails, post an article, then see how I felt later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I had checked my mails, I was feeling a lot better. Still, I didn't feel like being caught up in a crowd. I was beginning to regret not taking up my friend's offer to hang out. Where should I go? I watched as my feet were taken over and I was walked to the bus stop and put on a bus. When I finally got to the west end I found myself walking towards &lt;a href="http://www.london.gov.uk/trafalgarsquare/"&gt;Trafalgar Square&lt;/a&gt;. At the Square, there were hundreds of people watching a TV screen that had been erected at one end. It was then I realised that instead of going to the Mall, which was bound to be packed full, I could watch the Handover proceedings right there on the High Definition screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a perfect spot where I could lean against the wall and could see the screen perfectly. People around me were in party mood. I told them it was my birthday and they wished me happy birthday. Then the concert began in earnest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed watching Olympians - past and present - being interviewed. They showed lots of clips of this year's Olympics and discussed how Britain's performance had surpassed everyone's expectations. Well done Brits!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I liked what &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt"&gt;Usain Bolt&lt;/a&gt;, the 100 and 200 metres sprint gold medalist, had to say about how he avoids thinking because thinking can hinder one's performance. He simply focuses on what he's been trained to do and does it. No wonder he's as fast as lightning. I just love that guy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the concert I got two questions answered. The first one was about a song I've heard on a car advert which I love. I've been wondering what the song was and the band singing it. A band called &lt;a href="http://www.thefeeling.com/"&gt;The Feeling&lt;/a&gt; performed the song I love which is called "Join with Us." Thank you for answering my questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I'd been wondering about was whether a building known as &lt;a href="http://www.30stmaryaxe.com/index2.asp"&gt;The Gherkin&lt;/a&gt; was part of this year's &lt;a href="http://www.openhouse.org.uk/"&gt;Open House London&lt;/a&gt;. "Open House London" is the weekend in September where buildings that are usually closed to the public are open in order that visitors can explore their architecture. I had already checked the "Open House London" brochure but couldn't find "The Gherkin." As I was chatting to an elderly lady standing next to me, I asked her if she's ever been to "Open House London." She said she goes every year and tries to fit in as many buildings as she can. I asked her if "The Gherkin" was part of it. She said last year she queued for 4 hours to get into "The Gherkin." She said this year you have to book via the Internet if you want entry into that building. She said she intends to attend this year but her library hasn't got the brochure. I told her where she could get a copy. Wow, another question answered perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the group &lt;a href="http://www.ildivo.com/news/index.html"&gt;Il Divo&lt;/a&gt;, which has four cute guys who sing opera songs, came on stage my friend beside was very happy. She told me how much she loved them and how good looking they are. Good for you, lady. Just because something is out of your price range doesn't mean you can't window-shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend also told me she couldn't wait to see &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Phelps"&gt;Michael Phelps&lt;/a&gt;, who had won 8 gold medals in the Olympics. I told her I had been rooting for him to win his 8 gold medals because I believe in the number 8. When he came on, we both went wild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other songs I enjoyed being performed were: the cast of the stage musical "Queen" performing "We are the Champions"; Sophie Ellis Bextor singing "Nobody Does it Better"; James Morrison performing John Lennon's "Imagine"; a choir performing the Take That song "Shine"; McFly's rendition of the Abba classic "Winner Takes it All"; Will Young's version of "I Can See Clearly Now"; and Heather Small, the lady with the big voice, performing "Proud."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite part of the event was the &lt;a href="http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/"&gt;Red Arrows&lt;/a&gt; flypast which painted the sky blue, white and red. It was wonderful to see these planes so close. I just love planes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all the performers and audience at the concert, thank you for making my birthday so special and such fun. I look forward to 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule Britannia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-travel.html"&gt;Time Travel&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-year-another-cycle.html"&gt;Another Year, Another Cycle&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-alerts.html"&gt;Love Alerts&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-is-like-box-of-chocolates.html"&gt;Life is Like a Box of Chocolates&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-can-see-clearly-now.html"&gt;I Can See Clearly Now&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/going-for-gold-eight.html"&gt;Going for Gold - Eight&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-being-maverick.html"&gt;On Being a Maverick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-7619927679586510474?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7619927679586510474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/7619927679586510474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-birthday-party.html' title='My Birthday Party'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-9001507193148685853</id><published>2008-08-25T18:30:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T18:25:24.311Z</updated><title type='text'>Hallelujah!</title><content type='html'>While I was travelling home on the bus, a man carrying a Bible got on board and sat next to me. I offered him some sweets. He took one and thanked me. He asked me how far I was going and I told him. I asked him where he was off to and he told me he was getting off near a church up the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are you going to church then?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, I'm just going near the church."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm only asking because of the Bible you're carrying."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are you a Christian?" he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do you mean why?" I frowned which made him smile. "Actually, I do believe in God."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's good."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told him about how I'd been hoping to share some sweets with people I met along the way and God blessed me with the sweets which I'm now sharing with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just then his mobile rang and he spoke for a few minutes. Then he apologised and we resumed our conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I like your story about how you were blessed so you could share with others," he said. "It's time all believers in God got together so they can impart God's love to others. Humanity needs to learn how to love one another or they'll self-destruct."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know, I've met Christians who have been dismissive of me when I've said I wasn't a Christian but believe in God,” I said. "It's so good to meet someone who is open."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The way I see it, no one can know all of God. God might reveal an aspect of Himself to me, and another aspect to you. It's time that all believers got together so they can share what God is revealing to them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed my bus stop was fast approaching. I asked his name and he told me. I offered him some more sweets and he took another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm so happy to have met you," I said as I got off. "It's been such a blessing speaking to you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the bus drove away, I waved at my friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, what a breakthrough to have met a Christian who is willing to embrace others regardless of beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-being-blessing-revisited.html"&gt;On Being a Blessing - Revisited&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-conquers-all.html"&gt;Love Conquers All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-about-gifts-of-love.html"&gt;More about Gifts of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/11/one-brotherhood-of-man.html"&gt;The One Brotherhood of Man&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/peace-be-with-you.html"&gt;Peace Be With You&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-9001507193148685853?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/9001507193148685853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/9001507193148685853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/halleluiah.html' title='Hallelujah!'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487364366776857409.post-4061269636057460050</id><published>2008-08-25T16:08:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T16:08:00.194+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Time Travel</title><content type='html'>The other day, I noticed a billboard about the 2012 Olympic Team wishing good luck to the British competitors in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It was quite a trip seeing the future team addressing the present team. No wonder the Brits have done so well in this year's Olympics when they had support from the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life, as I see it, is an experience of time travel. Love exists in all time, all space, all dream realities, everywhere. Therefore, at any moment, Love is constantly communicating from all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, I have photos friends have emailed me that I love to look at because of their radiant smiles. I even keep them open while I'm writing. I feel so much love from these photos. To me, these photographs represent Love's omnipresence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now as you, the reader, are reading this post, you are my future. I am speaking to you from the past. I am loving you from the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am loved in the past, present and future.&lt;br /&gt;I am loved in all realities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my love to you reader, whatever time or reality you find yourself in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/et-you-are-already-home.html"&gt;ET, You are Already Home!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/which-came-first-chicken-or-egg.html"&gt;Which Came First - the Chicken or the Egg?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/08/gentle-nudge-in-right-direction.html"&gt;A Gentle Nudge in the Right Direction&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://beingthemagic1.blogspot.com/2008/06/flying-by-seat-of-my-pants.html"&gt;Flying By the Seat of Your Pants&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/masters-of-time.html"&gt;Masters of Time&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freetobeme1-ej.blogspot.com/2008/02/infinite-blessings.html"&gt;Infinite Blessings&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/08/time-machine.html"&gt;The Time Machine&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/10/ill-be-there-no-matter-what.html"&gt;I'll Be There No Matter What&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487364366776857409-4061269636057460050?l=beingthemagic2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4061269636057460050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4487364366776857409/posts/default/4061269636057460050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beingthemagic2.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-travel.html' title='Time Travel'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00001546975012468975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hwc82xiL90w/S3k1aVQ6n5I/AAAAAAAAAHE/sADQJt3detI/S220/Enocia.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
