I need to take care of myself to 'dwell in spirit'

2008-09-12T20:22:00.000-07:00

If you interact with others to get something from them....

2008-09-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

I don't think that you can 'dwell in spirit'

Its the 'how' not the 'what' - isn't it?

2008-09-12T20:07:00.001-07:00

I find it hard to dwell in spirit when I'm knackered

2008-09-12T20:04:00.001-07:00

Life is an adventure not a package tour

2008-09-12T19:56:00.000-07:00

Eckhart Tolle again
If you can't deal with uncertainty you will find it hard to 'dwell in spirit'

Thought Patterns that keep me in ego and away from spirit

2008-09-12T19:47:00.001-07:00

This is about me!

What will happen in the future?

What happened in the past?

Is my behaviour acceptable?

Spirit dwells in some places and people

2008-09-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

I believe I have experienced 'spirit' in at least one person's house
I don't believe this is possible unless I am 'dwelling in spirit'

If your thoughts are not where you are then you are probably not dwelling in spirit

2008-09-12T19:37:00.001-07:00

What is the relationship between the ego and spirit

2008-09-12T19:32:00.001-07:00

This is what I think

They co-exist, one is the shadow of the other.

One cannot exist without at least the knowledge of the other.

This diagram helps I think although I don't believe that its a 50:50 split between ego and spirit

Non reaction is the key to the greatest power in the universe

2008-09-12T19:29:00.000-07:00

That's from Eckhart Tolle and I think its right

The universe appears to help - doesn't it?

2008-09-12T19:26:00.000-07:00

Go with the flow or paddle upstream?

2008-09-12T19:18:00.000-07:00

I left a spiritual event early along with someone else I didn't know
Both our cars were stuck in the mud.
I took this as a sign from the universe that I needed to return to the event - 'om'
However, the other person decided it meant nothing and she was getting out of there.
I helped her to get out and then she offered to help me and I accepted.

Therapy has helped

2008-09-12T19:09:00.001-07:00

Therapy basically means to me a loving and unconditional support person. In that environment 'dwelling in spirit' becomes more possible.

I like certain things that are said

2008-09-12T19:07:00.000-07:00

A woman said this to me the other day when I asked her something (I can't remember what)

'If you know yourself enough you won't let that thought have dominion'

The necklaces - they help

2008-09-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

I wear them under my clothes and when they clink together they remind me that my purpose is 'to awaken' - or 'dwell in spirit if you like'.
I bought a 4th (a cross) but I lost it within 2 days......
The 3 I still have were all given to me

The honest love of my children has helped

2008-09-10T23:12:00.000-07:00

Watch out for the ego

2001-09-26T17:09:00.000-07:00

Watch out for the ego - its always about - unless you are the Buddha or Jesus :-)

I believe that the planning process was hijacked by my ego. That is, draft 1 of the project was 'good', but then draft 2 was some wild exploration into how i? could contact God and be sure that I was doing so.

As shaggy said to scooby
