The Anne Report

Dear ,

As you well know by now, I am enamored and mesmerized by my grandchildren. Last week Thomas had a map of the gardens we visited. When we were at the number 5 marker, Grandpoppy pointed out the number 5 place on the map. Grandpoppy, who prides himself on directions and maps, came alive as he imparted his skills. As we walked around, Thomas says, “Yep, I’ve got my trusty ole map here. We are safe.” It was so unexpected that I could only smile. It’s not an expression that would normally come from the mouth of babes.

The kids seem to be into Pilgrims, and Thomas asked if any Pilgrims were left behind when they came to the colonies. I explained that a pilgrim was someone who set out to find something. He replied, “Did they call themselves Pilgrims?” “No. They were only called Pilgrims later.” He replied. “So, if I walked up to a Pilgrim and said, ‘Hey, Pilgrim,’ they would say, ‘Who me? I am not a Pilgrim. I am a normal person.’” If Art Linkletter had known my grandchildren, he would have had a constant flow of kid material.

We bought a two-seater kayak last week. We have looked at them for years, but one day, as we pursued the aisles of Costco, we came across a reasonably priced, sturdy, blow up kayak. We took her on her maiden voyage in our neighborhood lake – Buffalo Lake. We saw no fewer than five alligators. If you do not know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, I have the definitive answer. You will see an alligator later, and a crocodile after a while. All joking aside, there were a lot of alligators!

And that’s it for the Anne Report.

Three Organizing Principles

Does life organize itself to the deeper truths of life, and if so, what are they? I believe there are three organizing principles in life. They are love, compassion, and creation. Each aspect of living grants us the opportunity to have a meaningful life, to connect with the whole, and to dip into the universal field of possibilities. The following descriptions are slippery. The principles cannot be adequately described in words, yet, as sentient beings, we reach out to others through words, and though they may be inadequate, the sharing of thoughts often becomes promises for a deeper knowing. Words, just like signposts, only point the way, but when you are headed south from North Carolina and you want to go to New York, a sign might be just what you need. The sign is not New York, but the sign has its place in the saga of one's life.

Love - While many think of love as a noun, and it is possible to make love into an object, love is the action of the essence of being; love, at its source, is a verb. YHVH, the Hebrew name for God, is also a verb. And who does not know by now that God is love. God is not that somber guy in the sky that dispenses favors to good people. Love is our identity. We can love someone, but that love originates from who we are. We are love. Many go on a quest to discover who they are, but it is a journey without distance, because to discover who we are takes realization, not time or effort. We can say the words, “I am love,” but to actually know love as our identity is a profound knowing, not a description. Buddhism declares the not me as one of the three poisons from which all suffering arises. Not me means not knowing who we are. This understanding and knowing is not reserved for masters alone, but masters are ones who know who they are on a continual basis. We dip in and out of that knowing, as we experience life as an expansion and contraction. We move from love to fear in a heartbeat, and this rapid transit away from who we are is called “the separation,” which is unsettling, but the coming home to who we are is delightful.

More and more people are awakening to the reality of who they are. There is a change afoot, and though the outer world seems bleak, there is a mass awakening occurring. The pain of the world forces us to a deeper level, and, at that level, we hold council with the truth of being.

Compassion - As we move into deeper states of awareness and the realization that we are love, we understand that all is this love. That knowing brings with it the ability to grieve with others who have yet to discover who they are. The less one knows of their identity, the more s/he suffers. One who is grounded in love can look with compassion past the misguided actions of others. They can see beyond the action, as they look into the heart of the oppressor. Compassion is the supreme activity of an awakened being. It is the shower of blessings one brings to life. It is the mercy of being.

Creation - We are creators. We cannot not be creators. We paint life with our thoughts, emotions, intentions, and actions. There are many levels of creation. The ultimate level is the mastery level. Most of us do not create at the mastery level, but it is possible. The master can turn water to wine and bring about miraculous healing. Jesus told us that we would do even greater things than he. Few take his words seriously, and maybe that is a way to keep our egos in check, but we have, at our core, the ability to create at the master level. There are healers who facilitate miracles, people who can drink poison and live, those who walk on fire, unscathed, and those who can sleep on a bed of nails. Love is the ultimate mastery, but there is mastery on the physical plane as well.

We also create things at the level of filters. If we believe men are jerks, we will filter out all the good things the men in our lives do and see only the bad things; thus, we create men through our mental image. “Yes, men are bad, and I can prove it.” We then bring out our filtered list of infractions. “He did this; he did that.” We can filter any issue in life to fit our beliefs and effectively filter out evidence and facts.

We also create through attraction. We continually replicate and are attracted to people, situations, and objects that are like the images in our mind. Those images magnetize and organize our physical world. How many people do you know who live lives that are similar to their parents? They stay at the same income level, dress the same way, have the same faith, and adopt similar outlooks and emotional behaviors, because that’s all they can believe for themselves.

When we change the images in our minds, our lives change. We then veer from our societal training and begin to attract a new and better external reality. Finally, after years of rattling around as conscious creators trying to force things to happen, we begin to surrender to the essence that underlies all creation. We do not have to make life happen. The world as we see it holds less interest, and we do not want to expend the constant energy it takes to hold it together. Thus, we enter the gates of freedom. We are free to be, not to do. Yes, we will still take out the garbage and pay our bills, but we will not do them in order to control our surrounding, to be good enough, or to be admired. We just do what we do to maintain our lives. We no longer need to strive for or to prove anything. What a place of rest – free to be. And our being guides our doing.

Life is brilliant, and we are the light that illuminates it. But until we know that we are love itself, we live in dissatisfaction. Who we are is not the Muhammad Ali, "I am the greatest," narcissistic pronouncement. Rather, who we are is the humble declaration of the truth of Being. We are great because we are a part of the unified One, not because we did anything or earned anything. We are great because we are part of Greatness. We are great because we are love. We are the individualized expression of the One, and that is enough. That is enough! Who we are does not need to prove anything. When we awaken to that complete, free being that we are, life is EZier and EZier.

  Abundance Affirmations

Join Anne’s Facebook Group

This group is a place to post uplifting affirmations and thoughts about prosperity and abundant living. Let’s create a right relationship with money so that we feel comfortable about money. Let’s use money as it’s meant to be used, and not as a way to accumulate power or to fill a void. We don’t need money to buy more stuff. We need it to create a world that works for everyone. We want to cast off old beliefs of lack and reclaim our natural state of abundance. Anne, AKA Dr. Money, posts a nightly goodnight video for the prosperity team, and everyone who watches those videos becomes a part of the prosperity team.
