Something Scary

Tuesday, October 31, 2006

Did you ever notice how the things we are the most frightened of almost always turn out to be impermanent constructions of our own imagination? Like this sand sculpture?


It looks so real.. and then time goes by, the tide comes in, maybe it rains, and our carefully created masterpiece of disaster disintegrates into oblivion .. and we look around and everything really is OK.

Of course, sometimes there is a typhoon, or a tsunami, or a volcanic eruption, or an earthquake. But in my experience, those types of things almost inevitably happen on a really nice day with no warning, and no worrying at all. Suddenly KABAM!!! disaster strikes out of no where....

Words of wisdom

Monday, October 30, 2006

Michelle found a really great site by the Yunsai Society. Take a look at their One Heart Song Prayer Circle. Their newsletter has some incredible stuff in it - here is an exerpt:

On the medicine wheel our animal representative of the east direction is the eagle. The eagle lets us rise above the situation and look at things from a greater perspective. Go outside and look up at the great expansiveness, the direction of above, the heavens, the universe. Realize that since you breath, your existence in every moment is verified and sanctified as integral to the whole of the workings of the universe.

Getting centered

Saturday, October 28, 2006

For our viewing and listening pleasure, today I am sharing this little site:


This site is about prayers to God. It includes favorite bhajans from Hindu religion, mantras and prayers. It features online indian temple bhajans such as Radhe Krishna temple bhajans, Ganesha temple bhajans, Vaishno mata temple bhajans, Hanumana tample bhajans, Parvati Shiva temple bhajans and Sita Rama temple bhajans.


What does all that mean? Well it means that they have these wonderful prayerful mantras and songs. I played the Hare Krishna mantra when I went there, and it felt so good. The music went straight into my heart and actually brought tears to my eyes.

A sense of adventure

Feeling adventurous today? How about this? I found the official website of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. And they accept prayer requests. Isn't that cool? Here is a direct link to the prayer request page.

If you want to browse the site first, you can go to www.nationalshrine.com The easiest way to get to the prayer request page...

Shaking things up

Friday, October 27, 2006

Hi guys.

It seems to me that we are slowly losing our enthusiasm for the project. And I was thinking that maybe 30 days of doing the same thing every single day is really too many days of the same old same old. So I am suggesting that we shake things up a bit.

It occured to me that it might be good to explore other avenues of prayer. Become adventurers in the prayers for prosperity.. brave souls venturing out into new territories.. ferreting out new places and people to pray with.

And so, it is with this in mind, that I have come up with the idea of providing tasks and ideas for us to all try, and then report on. New and different things to do to further our prosperity through prayer.So sorry to do this, but this project has been moved and can be found in its new home Praying For Prosperity at the new and improved Prosperity Project hosted at shirleytwofeathers.com.

We are all in this together

I was reading The Onion this morning and I came across this article. I thought it was just hilarious. It seemed appropriate to our blog, and so here it is: (to read the entire article - click on the banner, it's a link)

Exploring the concept

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

I went on an online search this morning to see if I could discover anything profound or interesting about prayer. I put "pray for me" into my yahoo search bar, and this is what I came up with.

I found a really beautifully crafted website that offers (for a small fee) to put your prayer as close to God's ear as possible. The website url is: www.letter2god.com in case any of you want to go and see what that is all about.

I also found a site www.greatercalling.org They set up conference calls for people who want to pray together, and I thought that was interesting too. Especially if you have a group scattered all over the place and you want to pray together.....

The Inner Dad

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

I was sitting here, wondering what to post, when I noticed this postcard. It came to me a long time ago, and the image of this very intense man looked so familiar to me that I put him on my desk.

He is now the "master" of my bills.. and frowns at me when I don't pay them. This morning I realized that he very much resembles my "inner dad", and might even be a portrait of who "god" is to me.

A work in progress

Hi.. this post is still a work in progress. And I am not sure that I will ever get it "done".

So.. our project is a work in progress, our site is a work in progress, and each one of us is a work in progress.. and I like that because it shows a sort of continuity.. an "integrity" of sorts.

The Unexpected

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Here is a prayer for unexpected income:

We dwell in the midst of infinite abundance.
The abundance of God is our infinite source.
The river of life is always flowing.
It flows through us into lavish expression....

Sprouting seeds

Saturday, October 21, 2006

I found this incredible poem by Hafiz. It may, or may not have much to do with our project, but I love it so much that I am wanting to share it with you guys.

ELEPHANT WONDERING


A seed
Has sprouted beneath a golden leaf
In a dark forest.


This seed is seriously contemplating
Seriously wondering about
The moseying habits
Of the Elephant.


Why?

Getting it right

Friday, October 20, 2006

Hi everyone,

So I paid no attention to the time zones when I set up the blog. And since I posted in the wee hours of the morning on Thursday, the post showed a "time stamp" of Wednesday.. Hence the confusion. So I figured out how to fix it, and the time showing with each post will from now on be correct. I am really sorry for that, and I can see how it could really throw you off, especially if you had missed a day or two.

Cindy posted some great comments and brought up something for discussion

The Prosperity Puzzle

Thursday, October 19, 2006



This awesome picture is by Rob Gonsalves.

It seems to me that putting the pieces together and creating a "whole" life.. something that feels complete and comfortable requires inner work as well as outer help.

Prosperity Updates

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

Our progress so far is as follows:

  • Melissa won a sweepstakes and is waiting to see how much she won.
  • Saskia and her husband have been enjoying unexpected gifts from strangers.
  • Daniel had an enjoyable day shopping even though he has yet to see any returns on his "prayer investments".
  • Michelle has had an abundance of ... well.. read her post from yesterday.. She is now praying for "financial" abundance.
  • Shirley found some money.
  • And Cindy has yet to check in.
So far so good, I think....

Wealth can not exist in the wrong place.
Growth can not exist where no foundation is established.
Prosperity occurs where good foundation is set at the right place.

Still praying for prosperity

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Welcome to day three of the prosperity project. Melissa has a travel store, and her link has been added to the side bar. If anyone else has something they want me to post there, just let me know.

Anyway..

Praying for prosperity

Monday, October 16, 2006

Hi guys. I am not quite sure what to post for today, since the process is pretty simple. It looks like we are off to a good start. We have 5 participants in the project so far. No big news of success yet, no big news of financial disaster, so nothing big to report.
