transcript of an example of Q and A with spirit...welcome to my world!

my peeps:
HELLLOOOOOOO! stop looking for answers.....they are never ever ever ever ever ever going to be what you want....so stop asking, looking and seeking.

me:
So what do you do instead?

my peeps:
that is tough....

me:
Well you tell us to to seek answers for that which i,we, need to to know answers too....so what do you suggest we do??? what do you suggest i tell others when they ask what to do?

my peeps:
you tell them to be the answers that they seek

me:
ok...but we need hands on, something more than that in which we can sink out teeth into and____________________

my peeps:
are you done now?

me:
yes

my peeps:
you ask....we share and we tell. you do not like what you hear. so you ask for different answers. there are no different answers. there is only being what you seek.

me:
ok what about making money? everyone wants to know what to do? how to do it? ughhhh how do we be the money we need to make?

my peeps:
you can not be the money you know that!

me:
well you said be the money

my peeps:

me:
it is a way in which we exchange "money" for those things in life we need to survive. how do we be that in which we need to survive?

my peeps:

life is good...and we are always going to be ok!

EVERYONE......

does not matter if you don't take of the center first

Yes! You are Creative!

Yes!

You are Creative!



Why do we create? We create because it allows the inner part of ourselves be heard.



So many times we feel that they are not able to be ourselves. We feel that we are not being heard and we are not able to be what we want to be on the outside… but on the inside we are crying out to be heard. As sad as this is, it is true for many of us walking around the planet right now.



When we enter into a state of creation, any state of creating, it us being authentic and real to who we are. We are bringing the inside of ourselves to the outside. We are letting that inner child and that inner quite voice express who we are and what we are on the inside.



We hold it all in because very often we feel that being the way we are is either not good enough or that we are being judged. This comes from years of being told in many different ways…by our families, schools, communities and so on that what we are is not conforming enough to the outside world. Example, if you want to be liked, if you want to fit in, if you want a good job or if you want to be happy…you must be THIS WAY_______. How is that working out so for you? If you are anything like the rest of us, I am sure the answer is “not so good!”



When we create we go within ourselves and allow the beauty of all that is within us to come out. We allow that part of us to be authentic and real to our truths.



Being who we are is as important to life as breathing. We just have learned through thousands of years to evolve out of being who we are…. the breathing we have not figured out yet! But I am sure if we could we would! We are that good at tricking and masking ourselves.



Why do you think we are here? Because it is fun?????

For many millions and millions of people who are homeless, live in war torn regions and have extreme abuse in their life…it is not always fun! It is painful and raw to be here, living on this planet we call Earth. With that said, we are all here to remember who we are. Creation allows us to remember those parts of us that we have stored away for many, many, many years…sometimes lifetimes.



I often tell people. “You’re so creative!” They always look at me like, “Who me?” I say “YES YOU!” and they are shocked. Why always so shocked? Why would you not be? You made it this far on the planet…health, finances, and relationships, etc…YOU ARE CREATIVE…YOU ARE CREATING YOUR LIFE!



Creative does not mean that you are going to be the next Monet, Renoir, or Bach. It means that you have your OWN amazing gifts and talents inside of you that allow you to think outside of the box and be all that you want to be. You have always been doing this but it is so natural you don’t see it. It is part of that toolbox of life that we are all born with! How do you think we got this far? Because you are CREATIVE!



That toolbox contains many tools that we can use to adjust ourselves, tweak ourselves and fix (I use that term loosely because I don’t believe anything is ever broken to be fixed) what is not working properly in that moment.



Creation is the basis for all that is. You are the basis for all that is. If you are a part of All That Is…Creation…than how can you not be creative?



We need to stop and start using our common sense. We have to stop being so hard on ourselves. If others are creative in their own way, then you are creative in your own way. No two people can create the same. No two people look the same. No two people are here to fill in the same piece of the puzzle. Your piece is uniquely yours and you are designing it in every moment you are here…. when you are no longer here….your piece will be completed for this puzzle….what do you want it to look like?



Your creativeness lies within your being. It is there; it has always been there.



Allow yourself to create. Maybe it is a garden, maybe it is a song, maybe it is a new way to move your furniture or office space around, maybe it is with your finances, create with your clothing, create with your voice, CREATE! CREATE! CREATE! and allow your inner creative beauty to be shared with me, with us.

We need you!

Be the creative masterpiece you were born to be.

Something to think about today! Not for the weary, for Spiritual BAD ASSES only

something to think about today:



if you are proud of the person you are....then stop to think about ALL the people who have helped you realize your worth....there have been so many people i want to thank for helping me along this journey...i think i will just thank them from my heart...no need to get up close and personal! lol ;)

another words... forgiveness is for yourself not others!



homework:



* get a large poster board and crayons, colored pencils or markers!
* use the poster board horizontal so you have more room



1. in one column, write the names of ALL the people in your life who have helped shape you into the person you are today. remember many of those people are the ones you argue with, fight with, disagree with, the ones who have taken your power, have left you weak, that have hurt you the most...and many are the ones are the ones that have lifted you UP!



2. in the next column write how each person has helped you become who you are in this moment....this may take a few lines up so be sure to leave room. I.E. how did they hurt you and how did you become better from that experience?



3. in the third column, write a sentence or two of gratitude and forgiveness to each person...write them a note thanking them for loving you enough, on some level, to have hurt you, disappointed you, etc...so that you could be the person you are today! you are strong, beautiful, free, brave, courageous, loving, kind, compassionate, soulful, spiritual, etc...you are these things because we have people in our lives "planted" to remind us of what we always have been. thank them and let them go...



4. in the fourth column...write a prayer, affirmation or loving statement to yourself. you are the one who got you to this point...

I.e. say, "thank you Lisa...thank you so much for always being with me...thank you so much for ALWAYS having my back....and no matter where we go or what happens we always have each other. i so love you".



5. use your markers, pencils and your crayons to decorate, color and design your beautiful board of love! set your creativity free...for within this creativity you will find your healing, your love and your self!



6. when you are done....some would say burn it to release it and let it go, some would say use it as a vision board, some would say tuck it away and keep it safe. it is your board maybe you have another idea! DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR BOARD....no one will tell you what you "should' and "should not" do!



trust YOUR gut! trust YOUR intuition!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________



The Full moon is upon us and as i write this i realized why i am being guided to post this today!



it is time to release and let go of what is no longer serving you and your needs. this is an exercise in letting go, releasing, and loving yourself! it is spring time...it is easter. it is passover. it is a time of re birth and renewal of YOU and of ME! i have chills all over as i write!



A M A Z I N G



awww.....the beauty of all that is! how amazing it is!



remember this includes all the people who have taught you anything about YOU.



FYI, most of the greatest lessons do not come from those that do not come me with boxing gloves! ;)



remember: YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL BAD ASS....this is not for the weak!



much love to you today and everyday! i have my own work to do!

Let a fish be a fish

by Lisa J Smith on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 11:11am

this came to me last night while i was falling asleep. for our friends, family, our children, co workers, employees...for all of us!



if you want a fish to swim do not take him out of the water. you are setting him up to fail.



a fish is a fish and can not be anything but.



by taking him out of the water and setting him on the ground...he will suffocate...not because he does not want to breathe and succeed and do the best he can, but because that is not the way he was built to survive. he was meant to be in the water.



if you purposely take a fish out of the water and set it on the ground then don't blame the fish for not being able to be a fish. you are the one that took him from where he thrives to where he will die. that is no fault of the fish.



the next time you think you are doing someone a favor...stop and think if they are a fish and where they would best fit... if they are a fish leave them in the water so they can thrive there and be the biggest fish in the pond...unless you are afraid that they will become a bigger fish than you! :)



awww....sometimes i think the fish are smarter than we are. we always think that we are untouchable, nothing will ever happened to us and that karma only happens to other people. We try to make our children, family, friends co workers into something they are not and then wonder why it isn't working.



when we live in a place where we support and up lift those who are around us and create the BEST SCENARIO FOR THEM TO BE IN, we are creating a better place for ALL of us to live in. duhh....



too many people are working from fear and ego that they are not enough so they attack or project onto others....when we can lift each other up we will thrive, breathe and create!



i sometimes think that people are the ones getting all tied up in the lines...and the fish are the smart ones...leave them alone and let them be fish!

what i don't have lead me to what i do have

what i don't have lead me to what i do have
by Lisa J Smith on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 9:23pm

you might ask," why would you talk about what you don't have, isn't that not being positive and not spiritual"?? ....and i say to you, "what i don't have is nothing to have"...



i have my heart.

i have my truth.

i have my authenticity.

i have the moment.

i have life.

i have breath.

i have real stories.

i have YOU.

i have my heart to lead me where i, we, need to go.

i have a voice.

i have my passion.

i have my history.

i have my stories.

i have my experiences.

i have my class.

i have humility.

i have an understanding

i have all that i have ever been.

i have faith, belief and trust to meet those who i need to meet when i need to meet them.

i have more of my 'peeps' guiding me than i know what to do with most of the time.

i have love....and i have me....and as long as i have ME....i have all i need!
