My Old Bedroom Shelves

For the first time since I spent a summer at home after freshman year at Berkeley, I slept in my old room, last night. My mother had my baby sister when I was fourteen. Although she shared a room with my other sister while I lived at home, it wasn't very much after I graduated that she moved in to my old room.

It's the safest place in the world, to sleep at your childhood room. Even if there was dysfunction in the home--and there was at the time, seriously, a lot of it--with time and with personal growth the painful memories have faded.

I've spent the night at mom's house before, but always in a different room, and I shared the queen bed with my son. Last night, he wanted to sleep alone, so I was back. Part of me felt the excitement like when I was sixteen all again. All that hope for my future, and relatively 'clean slate' when it came to scars and painful memories of life...it was the failed marriages and the emotional abuse that went with them that caused the most scars to me.

I looked on the wall, and in the room were my old bedroom shelves. With a smile I remembered how we had gone to the hardware store, bought the mountings for the wall, the brackets, and dad had hung them up on my wall for me.

When I lived there, my shelves were filled with awards and tassels...

I had my old maple desk under it and worked really hard to get straight A's, and also to get into college.

The desk, too, was still in the room, but the awards? I have no idea where they are. Instead, the shelves were filled with all the trophies from my youngest sister--softball, cheer, and tennis. Those were her sports in high school.

It was very Zen, to look at where the awards once had been. To look at what has replaced them. And to see that the awards for another have no significance to you, and furthermore, that your awards have no significance to anybody else except perhaps your parents.

What are awards?

Why do we give them?

Why are we hesitant to throw them out?

Is it part of the conditioning of society? I know many 'Fraternal Organizations' are VERY big on Titles and Awards, and that leads up to association with Those Who Do Not Have Our Best Interest At Heart.

In Oneness, after The Event, after Ascension, will everybody just win?

How will it work?

I wonder.

Its fascinating, isn't it, to ponder the new world on Gaia?



With much Blessings, Love, and Light for Passover, Easter, and any other celebration that might come up soon,
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,

Happy Birthday Japanese Temple!

Temple Byodo In, Oahu, Hawaii, opened June 7, 1968

I randomly picked up a Pleasant 'Holidays' brochure at my friend's house. I looked for a luau. I had been drawn to Germaine's (yes, I know! All you Lightworkers 'get' that!). It turned out to be right in the Kapolei where I am staying! I booked it.

Then I saw this picture.

I had to go. Spirit was calling.

It turns out today of all days, is the forty-fifth anniversary of this temple!

It was built to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the Japanese arrival in Hawaii.

Here is the nine HUNDRED year old original. Note the absence of the mountains behind it: 

You may ask, what did Spirit want me to do? Well....

• This was in the back of a cemetary complex called Valley of the Temples. I helped many souls cross over to the Light.
• I opened a blue Goddess Energy Vortex over the area (that's what helped them cross)
• I took advantage of the anniversary to heal important timelines between America, Japan, and Japanese all over the planet.
• I fed lots of koi, and felt total fifth-dimensional peace and joy in doing so. (my boy fed three bags)
• I saw a nine foot tall buddha, and lit incense for many, many I know, and sent blessings
• I learned of different 'orders' of buddhism, including zen and cakra.
• A Japanese past life came through, patchy, not sure if I was male or female, but I was happy then. (the incense triggered these 'flashbacks')
• I rang the bell five times. A Karuna Reiki Master ringing a bell gets some major energy moving!

To me is was all worth this: 

I have to go--Starbucks is turning off the WiFi,

Namaste,
