So beautifully written about HER❤️💜 Honored to share it in this Space!

“Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourselves are bitter and dark. And we deem her empty and unprofitable, but only when the soul goes wandering in desolate places, and the heart is drunken with overmindfulness of self.

Life is deep and high and distant; and though only your vast vision can reach even her feet, yet she is near; and though only the breath of your breath reaches her heart, the shadow of your shadow crosses her face, and the echo of your faintest cry becomes a spring and an autumn in her breast.

And life is veiled and hidden, even as your greater self is hidden and veiled. Yet when Life speaks, all the winds become words; and when she speaks again, the smiles upon your lips and the tears in your eyes turn also into words. When she sings, the deaf hear and are held; and when she comes walking, the sightless behold her and are amazed and follow her in wonder and astonishment. ~Kahlil Gibran

IMAGINATION

Word forms yOU through the IMagination WithIn your Countenance….Move With feAling and let Wisdom speak!

-Ahli Marie

[ahli-marie]

SOUND AND IMAGINATION

You create your life by Sound And IMagination...your IM-AGE has everything to do with your imagination yet it’s hardly spoken about.....it’s just a simple reverse of perspective.........Actually using the imagination of Creation to create A mind of thought, rather than a mind of thought re-manifesting what has already been created.........

SELF HONESTY

Doesn’t matter the truth others point out in you, if you ignore or deflect...it doesn’t matter how many point out the brutal truth to you...until your brutally honest with yourself you’ll continue in your own brutalities against yourself....

REJECTION

Rejection only happens when your Time with any given space is done…. BAM!

I like what I’ve discovered on this topic so far.....

The mind is programmed to repel rejection….The mind tends to hang on to people and situations that are over...your mind keeps the rejection fresh by wanting to figure out why ‘they’ did what they did...your mind keeps you wallowing in the pain.........why me? What’s wrong with me? Why did they do this? Why? Why? Why?

The only why is the reason….!!!!  

The reason=Your Spirit (counterpart) at your depths, removed for you and from you, what you couldn’t or wouldn’t do consciously for yourself... 

The reason is A gift that can feel more like failing in some reGArd when it's not your conscious decision.....but it IS A sub conscious decision...

In this knowing, there is comfort......

Of course, I always feel more empowered when 'I' consciously make the decision to reject or remove shady characters from my world.......

When its the other way around and it’s my sub conscious, it's harder to less-on the blow of rejection......if I ignore or punish myself for my choices, I'm heading straight to the prison of my mind.........

When I allow the true reason to be settle in to my countenance, personal revelations of the encounter, alight...

It seems clear to me now that Every rejection at it's core is a true gift.......but the tricks of the mind keep a person and preserve them in to your countenance long after they are gone..............

In truth, their rejection saved you and moved you to A reason-able space for further reason to alight.......

Life’s rejections save us from painful situations....but most often I have thought rejection was the beginning of the pain..............’

PRACTICING NARCISSISM

Below is A powerful quote I read from Maya Angelou’s book concerning Self Responsibility..

It reminded me of a recent experience where I felt painful repercussions of tHIS lack in a person I once respected justly…When I read this, it drove home one of the less-ons I learned in the encounter…

The qualities she describes are indeed the foundational tools I discovered in Practitioners of Narcissism…it was invaluable to learn that all practicing narcissists are not necessarily the low ranking obvious types….. but ALL run from responsibility and lay consequences of their actions on those they abandon…..

For the high functioning narcissist, (the ones who trick you) their Words can paint a responsible picture, but the quality and feal of the paint inevitably tELLs the True story!

Ah, all I say is, Bless the ear that ears what is True….

Here is the quote:

“In order to be profoundly dishonest, a person must have one of two qualities:

Either he is unscrupulously ambitious, or he is unswervingly egocentric. He must believe that, for his ends to be served all things and people can justifiably be shifted about, or that he is the center, not only of his own world, but of the worlds which others inhabit. I have neither element in my personality, so I hefted the burden of pregnancy at 16 onto my own shoulders, where it belonged.” -Maya Angelou, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

INTUITUON

When I act on my intuition I create what is true for me...

[ahli-marie]

My Father used to say this all the time:

“always remember that way you never forget”

I love it!

Spiritual superiority is a common faltering....I have a lot of experience ROFL....I have dealt with this a lot on both sides and have learned some things that helped me....I offer these personal insights from my journal because I see this issue coming to the surface.....in fb groups....and recently some friends have been dealt spiritual judgement.... I thought it's a good opportunity to put this conversation out here in the Garden......As always, take or leave it...: I've been tripped up thinking I was superior and knew better, and I've been tripped up feeling inferior to another's false image of superiority.... It’s great to have a SpiritFul presence that is Superior...but if that presence is policing everyone else, there’s nothing superior about it... Ultimately everyone acts consciously or subconsciously accounting their personal internal relationship with themselves and God in their countenance.......the currency in these relationships form your presence......Sound Spirit or EgoD....but remember, Ed likes to police and control and tell, and GET...lol Spirit leads if only Ed 'would' take a step back and not InteR fErE.......LOL..... Many claim convictions for beliefs that are really just recitations of belief…of course Most anyone can recite words like a parrot...but it becomes apPARENT when it's alive in them.........we can all observe this....... Convictions that are in word only are meaningless without wisdom and action........preaching convictions that never see the light of day in your countenance mean what exactly?  NOTHING..............lol...   This is how people earn the rep of hypocrite........a common accusation many Christians face in general....the truth is becoming a convict of word is a choice and it's not relegated to any specific group......A convict is a convict is a convict............ Ah, and What's the deal with convicts.........? Convicts like to InteR fErE with others freedom, don't they?....... The trouble is, most people reject 'telling words' from convicts...tell me this, tell me that....no one likes to be 'told' what to do when they KNOW they are being told to do it......LOL....a lot of convicts work around this with word manipulation...but that's a whole subject in and of itself.....LOL..... Most don't like to have their errors thrown in their face....LOL........Especially when they come from 'known' convicts of word….(those who preach but NEVER teach by example….)  It's the act that creates the convict....this is why it's better to be quiet when you can't be kind......when you allow the unkindness to act, it won't align with your conviction and most likely you'll earn regret........because you became a convict......another reason to  'check your mirror' before you act.....is what your about to say a judgement, or compassionate correction...........be honest.... Judgement is just one way people can falter and become convicts of their own words and earn the rep of hypocrite..... Hypocrisy, pride and judgement all go hand in hand for the convict................ Those who sit in judgement live in pride by deflection…. Those who sit in pride live in judgement by defense.… both are rejecting the other.....each perpetuates the error…. Judgement is a deflection and therefore a rejection of Spirit in every case......…. Compassion is supportive correction…....... Judgement is a deflection of self compassion… Judgement itself is not really about you....that's how you never have to take hypocrisy itself personally.........When you see a person with their finger pointed at you, they are faltering as much if not worse than the 'sin' they are pointing out.... When you know judgement is deflection, and act on what you know, your compassion can alight for your self to view the 'sin' constructively for yourself and therefore alight compassion for 'them'....iow, you take the finger as a gift....like its a mirror to check yourself.........in this grace, you transform the face of judgement by using it as compassion for yourself.......in turn, the love and kindness you show yourself naturally radiates and reflects back to them.....instead of ego cutting them down right back, you thank them and go check in with God........ Often when I felt judged, I 'would' get defensive.....Defense is pride in disguise......now that I know that, what I 'would' have done, I don't have too anymore.......otherwise I join the convict unwittingly.......alighting self compassion helps to avoid the error of would, and do what you 'would' have........ Anyone can acquire knowledge but it doesn’t mean they have the wisdom or the capability to apply it to their life…HOWEVER.........it also doesn't mean that person can't help you...... Whenever and whoever alights you to your own judgements, denials or defenses is a gift.........bless them no matter how angry they make you..... Throw compassion down to your own faltering's and alight your power for-giving them their trespasses as you WOOD for give your own....the power is in the 'wood'.......offering no more faltering to the faltering......what you 'would' have done, is right NOW............ There are so many parrots of word....and many are 'faking it til they make it'...we all are moving and forming our own presence here..........let compassion be alive in you......... Words of judgement are generally useless to the person who utters them........word should only be applied to yourself for betterment.................... Be easy on you....be easy on them....... Is it easy? I don't think anyone ever promised life would be easy ROFL.........

POLITICS-FALTERING IN MANS LAW

We settle for no voice in government? We settle for a ping pong game of the rich? We settle for a perpetual tug o war over the same issues that go no where??? The rich get richer the poor get poorer…

If you have a bad marriage where neither is listening or too consumed in their own selfishness you might invite a 3rd voice of reason…..

I wonder Why are we not demanding or at least inviting the possibility of a 3rd seat to the party of our house and senate?? One THAT ACTUALLY REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE!!!!!??????????

This farce has turned into useless paper pushers who have been getting away with the murder of our country and it’s people for how long?? And decade after decade it gets worse…..

They spend more time Corralling people to their soulless causes…..placing candy on de-fences people stand on battling one another for victories over NOTHING….and we cheer and continue voting them in…. ??????

Why? Ask most people and they immediately take the defeatist stance that, it is what it is, and we have no choice……no choice??

In our free country, most have DECIDED and rest on a ridiculous ‘fact’ that it’s too overwhelming to change and so we have no choice but to accept it ‘as is’….

Don’t these people in government work for US???? How did we start working for them? How did we get pushed into this complacency of hopelessness……to buy into a motion we have no free choice to change the way things are managed around here???????

If you label yourself democrat or republican do you think you have free choice?????? Oh my…. You can’t honestly believe that can you????

I don’t know one person….NOT ONE, who is satisfied or happy with the way WE are being MANAGED!!!! But the management system continues on as is…. No choice… no power to change it, right???? Better to settle, complain and argue futiciously…

Everyone knows the ones who are NOT doing their job or duty for the people, and it’s more than obvious they don’t truly represent us or care for our well being??? But we stand for it… rather we are conditioned to stand against each other fighting for our pretend freedom while they laugh all the way to the bank….

In the ‘free est’ country in the world it’s remarkable how limited our choices have become…..it’s This or that?????

Isn’t our country way way too diverse for this frick and frack mentality???

How many vote for the ‘better’ of the 2 degenerate choices given because there is no other choice???

The INDEPENDENCE ticket is a joke…. And so is our freedom……it’s no wonder we have become a beacon of hypocrisy to the world….complacency destroys freedom….and so does insanity….. they lock the insane in padded cells….we roam free in that respect…. But alas respect, there is none…..

If someone really cared about the people they’d forget the presidency and work to form an ACTUAL seat for the people in these corrupt houses!!

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over to your own detriment…. Appearance of freedom is just that…. An appearance…..

Welcome to American politics! Where the government is very well represented and the people are an after thought to keep up ‘appearances’

SELF RIGHTEOUS MIS-TAKES

from my journal OCTOBER 8 2019

You can't point out a behavior and call it sin without first judging the behavior...believe me when I say there are people out there that take what Jesus taught to their true heart...

But for all those who don't think they sit in judgement while 'pointing out' the sin's of others, just fool themselves....as I discovered through noticing my own hypocrisies.......

I wonder sometimes....just what are you trying to say to the world?  That the teachings of Jesus....like mercy...forgiveness....and NON judgement....are crap?  That love thy neighbor as thyself...do unto others as you would have done to you, are just too naïve for this world....????  Maybe we are too naïve for the teaching......

Jesus didn't say go forth and teach about sin....he didn’t teach us to police the world according to self righteous attitudes...he said "Love one another; as I have loved you"

Ah....maybe that’s the problem.....does anyone feel the Christs Love?

To all the self righteous......Don't scream his name to me while you disregard everything he stood for.....You don't re-pre-sent anything real that way.....Your life is between you and God, and so is everyone else's....save all your focus on sin for yourself.....sheeesh, and the self righteous wonder why they are viewed as hypocrites????

BELIEFS

I wonder about the CONviction of beliefs…. Perhaps they serve…. But perhaps they don’t…it’s easy to become a convict of your own words when they are empty and hollow.....in every case it’s only the beliefs that serve through you without convicting anyone else that make the CONviction worthy….

-Ahli Marie

[ahli-marie]

Trust

Rebuilding trust after someone crushed it can be challenging…. After someone proves themselves untrustworthy it seems like a daunting task to gift them another chance in your life if they turn up…. Especially when we equate ‘trust’ with acts…. How can you trust they won’t commit the crime again?

The truth is you can’t!!!!

That’s why our trust is not something we place IN someone else….self trust is the key to beaing sure......

But what if I’m sure and a person acts out against me with deceit and treachery, what then??? Why should I even consider giving that person another chance in my life?

If we don’t give people further consideration, What Are we saying then?  They are forever a deceitful person???  They can’t move to Spirit? What is this saying about your own ‘becoming?” or Your own errors??

When we are deceived, The better question is “where and how am I deceiving myself?"…not a popular way to go LOL....it’s certainly easier to just blame the whole thing on someone else.....but if you don’t understand HOW is this person pre-sent in my life in the first place, the chances of you drawing another just like them increase tenfold.............. Once this is addressed, reckoned, and released, there is no energy left to draw the deception back to life inside of you….it’s not to say you won’t ever encounter a deceitful person….but you won’t be in a position to fall prey to it….

In relationships, When we put all the failing chains on someone else’s neck, we tie that chain to our own feet…. Guess what….Throw them off the bridge without self examination and your right behind them!  Thus, Treachery comes again through a different face….

Someone can only commit acts of deceit and treachery on someone who commits these acts upon themselves….it's a very subconscious internal thing....... If you lie to yourself about the shadows cast from the characters you find yourself surrounded with, then you can’t really cry the blues when they lie or hurt you…can you???????  We can say, ‘we didn’t know’.......we didn’t know they were such a rat bastard.....but is that really true?  In hindsight we always see the signs we miss when we are in ‘wanting’.....and lets face it, the only way someone can hurt you is if you ‘want’ something from them....you might not even consciously know what that ‘want’ is, but trust.........it’s there!!!

Deceiving People fit into your story because they’re a fit for the treacherous internal behavior you perpetuate upon yourself!

SUPERIORITY

When it comes to Spiritful Presence, and you ‘think’ your right about everything and ‘think’ you have all the answers, then you no longer have the ear to hear anything but yourself.......if your a brilliant Master, great! LOL....but how many of those Rule Models do we really sea?  If your a ‘Know it all’ what do you exemplify of what you know? When you think you know everything or are too busy knowing it, to satisfy a ‘need’ to be right, or feel good, you may never sea your own errors if your focused on fixing everyone elses….. what benefit is this to you?

-Ahli Marie

[ahli-marie]

FOR GIVING PEACE

Why should I even consider giving a person who lied and deceived another chance in my life?

Well, lack of consideration is like placing someone in a box, in a time, and never letting them out....holding them hostage thErE in your mind......... Are they forever a deceitful person???  Will they always hurt you?  Possibly......but...........What is this saying about your own ‘errors?”

When I think about it, people get stuck in the notion of evol-u-ti-on.....always looking to advance…. To move….change….away from our errors…. Makes sense…….. but we can’t run from them….when you think of how people run from themselves, it can make for a very unstable ENvironment from an unstable person......

When you don’t have a Sound INvironment, there isn’t much hope for your stability with your ENvironment.........…

Speaking of Evolution…..Evol-u-Ti-On is perhaps looking at things a bit backwards don’t you think?

The definition of evolution:

the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

Ok…….so you look at the flower and you can say it's developing into a flower gradually...perhaps it's evolution.........but.........YOU are actually developing from the complex, back to Simple…..…so with the presence of free choice, is this evolution or self volition.......?

Presence is personal and internal...Evolution is collective Projection isn't it?......IOW, you cant seA there really is no evolution happening, because Time makes it appear as though IT IS.........

Internal Taem simply moves your Presence and Time and all it's evolution becomes NOTHING.................

Hmmm perhaps I volition is more accurate for personal development than evol-u-ti-on …

BeautI simply becomes a hue of itself….Of its own volition to simply beA Presence itself......….

If I say I am of my own volition I am a stage I Am…, does the flower seek to evolve or does it just appear on stage?

Yes, I am a fragrant flower....thank you!!!!

-Ahli Marie

[ahli-marie]

TRUE PRESENCE

Becoming and Evolving mean the same thing in spiritual circles….. to be or not to be.....lol.....but are they really the same?

People say evolving and growing are the same….A flower grows...I wouldn't call it evolution?  I'd call it the presence of a Flower....and when the flower dies, it's presence is no longer on the scene, but it's presence never dies........it just BECOMES part of Creation unsCine.......Creative Aer is the only thing truly unsCine for it is Sound LiFght....only the ear to hear will seA the Sound of Spirit in all things.........

Evolving, growing are all energy CONcepts…but Becoming...this is not a concept but an observation........we seA the sead become the flower.......

True Presence doesn’t strive, move location or seek to be anything other than what it is........it just IS and so are you........moving like the Ocean, but not necessary to pick up and leave……The Oceans Presence is ESSENTIAL......you are no less!!!

I'm not sure Evolution is necessarily what we 'think'?  Something for me to bea with for a bit........

-Ahli Marie...

EVOLUTION WITH SOLUTIONS

When you live in the problem your live in illness… in the mess… which energy always is…

BeA the Sol-u-ti-on…. Sol=sun….. it’s basically saying ‘BeA the SunBeAM or light in your own life...Let your Presence BeAm...........Let the eir about you fill the space.....thEIR you are....and we ear your sweet Sound.......
