  A Note From Anne

Flowing With Life

Dear ,

The weather where I live mimics human behavior. One day it’s 76° during the day and within a few days we see 20° temperatures at night. There was a poem my grandmother used to read when I was young that went, “There was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad, she was horrid.” I didn’t like that poem. I thought it singled me out as a bad person. I lived my life to be a good girl; I went to the extreme as a goody goody type. It was not easy to see that I might have any less than benevolent tendencies about anything. The rhyme wasn’t about moral character, as I thought it to be. It was about the radical shifts we experience in our actions, reactions, and emotions.

Life changes quickly. The references we took as our life’s foundation crumble without notice. We are like the weather. We change quickly. One day we feel like we could run for miles and the next day we drag ourselves from place to place. This moment our patience is expansive and the next, the smallest thing annoys us.

We are changelings, and part of our assignment while in a body is to deal with the radical shifts of life. As the New Year continues let’s remember that we may be able to guide our lives in one direction, but we can never control the changing tides life offers. When we resist life’s changing proclivities, we suffer. When we flow with the shifts, even the ones we don’t like, we move in a space that brings rest. What a paradox: when we allow what we don’t like to be okay, we move back into the Supreme Okayness and into a place we not only want to visit, we want to live, because when we do, everything is EZier and EZier.

Moving Into Oneness

My friend, Rev. Rosemary Cathcart, is the president of the Universal Brotherhood Movement. She shares her wisdom and insights with its members on a quarterly basis. I eagerly read her latest missive. She shared her some of her ideas for inner spiritual activism, which include the following:

“…. I’ll be taking kindness with me wherever I go and remembering that we’re all doing the best we can. I’ll memorize once again this “Just Like Me” exercise:

Just Like Me

Just like me, this person is seeking
some happiness for themselves.
Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in their life.
Just like me, this person has known
sadness, loneliness and despair.
Just like me, this person is seeking to fulfill their needs.
Just like me, this person is learning about life.

This ancient Sufi exercise levels the playing field and reminds me that we are all children of God, and we all deserve sweetness, compassion and understanding. ..."

I often feel nervous when I stand before a crowd. When I level the playing field, by remembering I don’t have to be a great person with a life-altering message, I’m just talking to my friends, I relax. My audience has no demands; I’m just making those up inside my head! We are all the same.

The gift of holding others in good standing is that as we give the gift of community, compassion, and oneness, we receive it ourselves. Surely one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves is to be in harmony with the people who surround us and to remember our commonalities.

I wrote the following poem in 1991 to illustrate that point. It is one of my favorite poems.

We are the Same
by Anne Sermons Gillis

I am like you and you are like me
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

'Cause no matter what
No matter how different our eyes seem
Or whether you are yelling, when I am being quiet
Or I am laughing when you are feeling sad
We are still the same.
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

Even if you like red and I like blue
And you wear your doctor suit when I wear my sick suit
Or I have a big spot on my clothes when you are clean
Or if I win the biggest prize
While you are making your biggest mistake,
We are still the same.
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

Even when you are on a diet
And I am eating everything in sight
Or you are snoring while I am wide awake
And you like jazz
And I like Kenny Rodgers
And you are never late and I cannot possibly be on time.
We are still the same.
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

Even if you are tall and slim
And I am fat and fluffy
And everybody works for me
But no one works for you
And you wear Ralph Lauren
While Goodwill supplies my wardrobe
And I paint like a master and
You can't draw a square or a circle
We are still the same.
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

Even if you go to AA
While I drown my sorrows every night
And my lover never leaves and yours never stays
And if you can cook continental delights
And I burn every bean
Or I sing like a bird and you croak like a frog
We are still the same.
And when we pretend that we are different
We miss the mark of who we are.

So no matter how much we pretend
Or where we hide
Or how puffed up we are about our uniqueness
Or what we do
Or how we behave
Or what we have
Or how we look
Or what we did
Or what we didn't do
Or what we know
Or what happened in our past
Or how we do
Or what we like
Or what we hate
Or who we know
Or whether we are married
Or whether we have pets
Or whether our tummies make funny noises at serious times
And we eat only vegetables
We are still the same,
Because I am like you and you are like me.
And when we pretend to be different
We miss the mark of who we are.

Affirmations for EZier Living

I spend my days in miraculous ways, gathering the universal bounty of health, love, and abundance.

My mind is the servant of the lavish abundant nature of time. As I relax and trust the present, time expands and richly blesses each moment.

Health and healing come my way. I am happier every day.

Quotes

"The ego teaches that fear is fun."

"As far as conversation goes, I find hearing about the habits of people I don’t know, their performing the routine tasks of life, their quirky habits, or even their acting out, is boring. So if you are talking to me, please make your conversation relevant to your life or mine. Or at least make it interesting. I don’t want to climb over a wall of chatter to get to you."

Sound Makes a Difference

Are there certain sounds that get on your nerves? Some cringe at the sound of scraping chalk on a board. Fortunately, there aren’t many chalk boards left, but other sounds abound, such as gum chewing sounds and slurping sounds. Some sounds trigger irritation while others bring calm. The mystics knew the power of sound; thus chanting flourished.

There are frequencies, called solfeggio, that are used in sacred music. Solfeggio frequencies were used in more than 150 Gregorian Chants.

Here are the six main Solfeggio frequencies:

396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeBHeD7gTzI

417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQK5_hENKWU&t=9152s

528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MPRbX7ACh8&t=31096s

639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aSaZoDlEic

741 Hz – Expression/Solutions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z8r0OxUIpg&t=1722s

852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDCKZk-KsI4

The transformational healing each invokes is listed beside each frequency, along with a link to a YouTube video of that frequency. These frequencies are like nerve salve and energy medicine.

Start with the 396 Hertz frequency and play as background music for a day; then move to the next frequency the following day. After the initial six days, concentrate on the frequency that brings the quality (solutions) you most desire and play it for a week. Then play the frequencies as you desire. Some studies suggest that having music playing in the background improves our memory.

We are vibrational beings, and each sound either aligns us to pure vibration or takes us into dissonance. Given the cacophony of sounds we hear each day, it’s refreshing to know we can realign our energy bodies with these wonderful sounds.
