So yesterday I started getting that achey, not wanting to move feeling with a little bit of congestion. I got a little work done, ran a couple of errands with my daughter then came home to put the Halloween decorations away (which, by the way, is part of the reason I feel run down. After having a Halloween party the weekend before, we moved a lot of decorations out front…the slideshow below shows some pics). As much as I probably should have taken a nap, my daughter and I got it all done and I feel MUCH better today (knowing it’s done). Took some Nyquil last night and slept great. So, now I’m quietly working with some tea & honey….I think I may be napping today. I often wonder why I don’t take my OWN advice….get enough rest! And of course, balance things a little better…..

I’m sure I’m not the only person who has questioned what it is I should “do” with my life or what my life’s purpose is- and it was great to hear Abraham almost laugh at the notion that we are supposed to have one and only one thing that we want to do with our life. I have NEVER had a definitive idea as to what it was I was supposed to do, I’ve only known that I wanted to do something on my own (there’s a quality of life when you control your time that you just can’t put a price on) and that I need to be able to grow, work with other people, be creative and help people along the way. As I’ve let go of what it is I’m “supposed” to do, I’ve found something that I “love” to do! And for now, that’s enough for me.

The question that was raised to Abraham re: a significant other was that the person wanted to do something different career wise, yet didn’t think their “significant” other would get on board. The first thing Abraham said was that they needed to think about their “significant” other as their “insignficant” other (that was when I laughed out loud). That when we look for the approval of other people, we are not in vibration with what it is we truly want. If we place SO much emphasis on the opinion of other people, whose life are we living anyways? What I have found through much trial, error, heartache and finally peace- is that when you get in alignment with what it is that makes your heart sing (even if it’s not for the next 40 years), the people in your life (significant or otherwise), will get on board with you.

What I really wanted to share were some of the lessons that Brian Weiss received through his patient from the Masters. The messages were intended for him. He also had some dreams after he stopped treating the patient who started him on this journey which were extremely profound. I’ll be picking up another copy of the book to share something a little more ’specific’ tomorrow!

Anyways, so far the book is very interesting. I haven’t gotten too far into it yet, but am enjoying it. It goes a little deeper than a lot of books out there in regards to finding your purpose or life’s passion. The beginning of the book talks about the history of consciousness and different religions. Having become more interested in some eastern philosophies, it was good to see the reference to the Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu. Tolle says that Lao Tzu was before his time and that the time for this type of consciousness is now. Without making it sound like work, you definitely need to be in the mood to focus on what you’re reading with this book.

Last thought on this book for today is a quote that I liked from the first chapter. “You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge.” E. Tolle, The New Earth, Plume, 2006.
