As I was looking through my journal of collected anecdotes of the past 30 years or so, I noticed a page that I haven’t noticed much and forgot was there. Almost all the quotes from that page seemed so timely for right now as we get close to the new year, so I felt it best to share them. Enjoy.

Behind me is infinite power; before me is endless possibility; around me is boundless opportunity. Why should I fear.    (author unknown)

Your fears blind you like sand in your eyes. Turn into the stillness so that you may see. The Truth is available to you if you will be open to it. That is the nature of God’s Love.     (Divined to me back in 08)

“Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can.”   (Douglas Pagels)

Many things will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.    (author unknown)

Isn’t it funny how you can be more worried about what other people think of you than what God thinks of you?    (author unknown)

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”     (Thomas Jefferson)

God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.     (author unknown)

“You are always right where you need to be to take the next step beyond yourself.”    (Guy Finley)

“Opportunity strikes at every moment we have a decision or choice to make. Every moment is anew and ripe for creativity. We have the power on how to create our life with each moment’s choice or decision. That is the power of the free will God gave us.”    (Irene Arndt)

“With God, all things are possible.”    (Matt 19:26)

“Surrendering to God is not about relinquishing power. It’s about letting the power of God flow through you.”    Irene Arndt

While I have included a few with my name, I am well aware that of my own self I do nothing and that these sharings of “mine” are simply His grace coming through.  **Thank you, Lord**

The Holy Spirit graced me with this one a couple of days ago. **Thank you, Lord** Thought you might enjoy it.

The mind is a powerful thing, but never as powerful as the heart.

So I’ve been in a thoughtful mood recently and here’s one of the musings I’ve been having. Thought you might enjoy.

Everything and everyone is connected. Everything is in a constant state of dynamics. So as we elevate ourselves, those around us also elevate after some time that the dynamic forces at work have been allowed to manifest. If we don’t properly care for ourselves, then as we are “down”, that energy will tend to create the dynamics to bring those around us “down”. It tends to depend on which energy is stronger at the time.

Recall a time when you were feeling pretty good, then you come home and someone else there is in a foul mood. Did they take it out on you somehow? Did you let it get to you? Did it affect you somehow?

Most likely it did. The same is with the reverse. It comes down to A) how present we are to be able to see what’s going on and then take the time to decide how do deal with it, or B) if we are not present and we tend to react instead of observe and decide. When we are present, we become aware of our choices. We have the power to choose how we want to deal with it.

It goes along what Eleanor Roosevelt said. She said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” That is one of my favorite quotes, and it’s true. There have been many times that someone has said something negative to me and it then brought me down. That is, I let it. Why? Ignorance. I didn’t know who I was and how it is God’s Spirit and God’s Love within me that is the true me.

I know that all pain expressed comes from pain felt. So I hold to the awareness that if the negative person wasn’t in the kind of pain they were in, then what they said or did would have been different. And it would have been positive, because their pain would not have blocked the path of God’s Spirit from shining through.

And I pray to God to help me continue to grow in that awareness that I may know it in myself and others. What better way to begin to help others than to see God, His Spirit and His Love as each person’s essence?

Blessings,
Irene

Resource Tip: Presence (being grounded/in the now/centered) is key to healing and awareness. Holistic healing therapies are great for helping one to gain presence as are being out in nature, some breathing exercises, some meditation, some kinds of exercise, various exercises in observation, and spending time with God. Feel free to share more if I missed any.

God created us to help elevate others when they’re not feeling as strong. Once they are strong again, then they can be more efficient in helping others. And the more lifting and elevating of others we do, the closer we are to God and His Graces within us and around us. The stronger, wiser, calmer, and more loving we become. the flowing of God’s Love elevates all that are touched by it.
But it’s hard to lift others when we ourselves are “down”. Too many people focus on helping others without properly caring for themselves, leaving themselves in need of care. Many seem to think that taking care of themselves is somehow being selfish. But our bodies are a gift from God. Self-care has nothing to do with selfishness. Self-care is about honoring the spirit of God within us.
We are the spirit of God manifest. The more we allow our hearts to connect in oneness with God’s Love, the more His Hand is allowed to work through us.
Elevation from within to the elevation of all.
Thank you, Lord.

Irene

Letting go is a conscious decision allowed by the awareness of trust.

Letting it flow is still a matter of trust. Once we let it go, then it’s time to observe and enjoy the show of whatever we are aware of or experiencing, because it is then that the process of His creating is allowed to be.

I continue to work to allow God’s Love flow through me that I may a part of His creative Hand. Like I said, it’s easier said than done. But like anything else, it’s a matter of practice. It’s the practicing that opens the doors to the miracles. And every miracle always makes it worthwhile.

I was speaking to a friend today who seemed to have little understanding of exactly what intuition is. As I tried to explain it to him, I realized that my communication of it was inefficient. I know what it is and how to recognize it. But I’ve been developing it for so long now that I almost forgot what it was like before I began my training and I’m not sure how to explain it. Here goes attempt #1.

I’m well aware that the expression of intuition comes in many forms, i.e. gut feelings, visions, sensing when one decision is better than another without knowing why, etc. But the bottom line is that it is the communication of the Holy Spirit to us. Our sensing or “hearing” that communication is our sixth sense awareness.

As God’s children, we are spirit and inseparable from Him. It is God’s Love, the Infinite Consciousness that He Is, that makes it impossible for us to be separate from Him. Any sense of separation is an illusion and the reason for our pain.

But when we open ourselves to hearing Him, we open ourselves to All that He Is. That includes His guidance and messages that we can experience in so many ways. Gut feelings, instincts, dreams, visions, and sensing things that are intangible but real are all examples of the Holy Spirit letting us know something that is helpful if we listen.

Most of us can probably remember a time when someone told us something and it didn’t feel right. We couldn’t put our finger on it, but something just didn’t feel right. Then we find out sometime down the road that the person lied. Where does that sensation of something not feeling right come from?  It is God’s Spirit within us that is our life. Without It there is no life. Of our own selves we do nothing. It all comes from God as we are infinitely connected as One and His Love provides us the touch of the Holy Spirit. Our intuition. Our connection between the physical/limited awareness and the spiritual and unknown.

I think my friend is much more intuitive than he realizes. I think, rather I feel/sense that his lack of awareness is more about not knowing how to identify or be aware that many of the things he knows are intuition. He simply hasn’t been taught intuitive awareness. If and when he does learn intuitive awareness, he’s going to know a great empowerment and feel like he’s been invited to a party with God. It’s going to be a lot of fun! I know. I’m still there.

Let’s be open to hearing God by allowing our intuition to grow. Then more of us can party. The more the merrier!

Blessings,

Irene

Merry Christmas!

I was remembering what a gentleman shared at at the first Millionaire Mind Intensive I attended.  (I love Peak Potentials.  http://www.peakpotentials.com/new/ ) He was a Christian and was torn between how he was raised to believe that we’re supposed to be “poor” because of something that was in the Bible, and how what Peak Potentials made sense about the more wealth we have, the more we can then share and make the world a better place.

I felt for him because his pain was obvious and I held him in my heart. I’m sure we all did. So I held him in my heart and let it go into God’s Hand. I don’t know what happened to him, except that I’m sure the new awareness planted a seed that would help him grow in new and better ways. Amen.

Isn’t that the best gift that we can give someone? Holding someone in our heart and letting it go into God’s Love and Truth can be a powerful seed for someone’s soul. The developer and teacher of Matrix Energetics, Dr. Richard Bartlett ( http://www.matrixenergetics.com/ ) shares something in his newest book, The Physics of Miracles that feels so right. He mentions that “…it is somewhat sad that we continue to limit our interactions with others to the realm of the merely human. We are the Door to the Divine, not the Doer.”  Within each one of us, the world, the universe, and the unknown are billions, trillions, and infinite complex processes and interactions. As Dr. Richard Bartlett so brilliantly put it, how are we supposed to keep track of all that?  Wouldn’t it be easier to let God keep track of it for us and guide its interaction for us? Wouldn’t it be easier to let ourselves be His Door and be open to new and infinite possibilities as opposed to being only one door as ourselves? As I’ve shared with many, with God all things are possible and that the only limits that exist are those which we impose upon ourselves.

Imagine opening the heart to the unknown. Imagine the abundance and Truth of God’s Love being allowed to pour within and throughout us the more and more we can let go and let God. It is only by letting go and being open that we can be receptive to His Gifts. Otherwise, our preconceived beliefs and perceptions create a wall that limit us to those frameworks. How much more will God do for us if we let Him and allow ourselves to get out of our own way? That is not necessary for us to answer, but to be open to all that God Is is so we don’t limit ourselves. Focused intent on what we want is good, but the how and the extent to what that can entail might be best left in His unlimited Hands.

Let go, be open, let His Truth fill you, then follow your heart.

Holding this in our heart might be the best gift we can give ourselves and others this Christmas. The more open the heart, the more love can be received. And the more love we hold for others, the more we can affect them in a positive way. Afterall, isn’t the Love that Jesus gave us what Christmas is about?

Peace, Love, and Blessings,

Irene

I, Love, feel your pain

and understand your fear.

I’m here as your cane

and will always be near

and here.

I see you dangling

high from cliff of Homeland.

You think rocks you cling,

but holding you is Hand.

Love’s Hand.

I am a stranger to you.

Sometimes you want to know me

and other times you withdrew.

Peace. I hear your quiet plea,

and will set you free.

For the strength of love

is freedom. And as your

hand reaches for love,

the old you that you wore,

is no more.

But this cliff you think

is your home familiar.

You feel on the brink

yet you know not better.

Life’s blur.

Your grip has tired and you scream.

“Something better, please!” you cry.

Your hand awares to my dream.

Your grip strengthens and your eye

rests to my lullaby.

Feeling better you

succumb and engage

to this new stage too.

Until again you rage

for change.

The pain of hanging

is still separating,

but now there’s less divergence,

and more emergence

of love’s sense.

Step by step, rock over rock,

and hand greeting hand, will raise

you above stumbling block.

Each time learning more of love’s praise,

until all love rays.

I understand it takes time

for you to be ready.

I will wait and aide your climb

whenever you are ready.

You’ll know love steady.

I know you’re worthy.

Behind your pain is truth

of love’s potential.

Beauty you are, made aware from trial,

and Love.

I know well enough

to see that past your rough

character is love

wanting to be free.

The love that you be

is the you whom I see.

So I will sit, wait and listen

as your tears and struggles pray,

and I will never, now or then,

tire my grip or lead astray.

Love is here to stay.

And I may duck, dodge or sway

as your angers and pains fray,

but I will never, today

or ever, let go of your hand.

Welcome to Homeland.

Welcome to Love.

Irene Arndt

Irene

I got back last week from Matrix Energetics level 1 and 2. It was an incredible and fun weekend. I’m still trying to grasp and learn all there there is. Just as important as the learning something “new” is also the unlearning outdated beliefs and paradigms. Anyone can do it and I so recommend it. Check out matrixenergetics.com or Dr. Richard Bartlett for more info. It is basically having the awareness of quantum physics in the healing process and in our everyday lives.

I know that while it can be done with someone present or not, i.e. over the phone, I wonder if it can be done over the computer. So I will say a prayer and spend a few minutes letting come into my awareness what comes, and then I will let it go. And if you like, you can let me know if you notice anything.
I will write out the experience both so you may follow along with this particular experience, and to help integrate the process into my right and left brain.

Here we go…

Prayer

The question, “What is my intent?” comes through.

Answer: “To help people feel grounded and relaxed upon reading this.”

“Proceed.”

There was a sense of a swirling motion between myself and the computer. It was a good feeling swirling. It felt watery and happy. Then there was a sense of great busyness right in front of the monitor and a sense of poison in my mouth. I spit it out and I then felt a lightness and a sense of field of light eminating from my center. I then let it go into the infinite possibilities of God’s Love and Hand.

I’m curious how this experiment works out for us. Feel free to let me know if you notice anything.

Because we are energy/spirit, change is instantaneous when working with the morphic fields. Sometimes we are not aware of anything at all, and that’s ok. It commonly just means that the forces are in motion to help with what we need, and that sometime in the near future things will begin to happen in our favor/as we need them to.

During the third day of class, we were working with what are called the frequencies. I went into a frequency that moved me to move into yoga positions. Being with the energy fields, I went into a standing back bend for the first time in my life and then followed further into an advanced backbend called the diamond. I have never been able to do that before. There was no pain or discomfort. It felt great. I was a little sore the next day is all. I saw others who do not do yoga also go into yoga positions. This was just one of the many types of experiences that can happen just by allowing ourselves to be one with the Spirit that holds us, guides us, and loves us. God’s Love is infinite, and this awareness has been a great way to help me become even closer with Him. Maybe it can for you to if you decide you want to try it. Plus, it’s a lot of fun. In fact, the more we allow ourselves to be silly and like children, the easier it is to do this. Maybe this is what Jesus meant when He said to be like the children.

Thanks.

Blessings,

Irene

But everything happens for a reason. (Thank you, Lord.) And even though I don’t know all the lessons of this one yet, I love how God works.

Tonight I began to write about something else but was having trouble letting it flow. Ok, I’ll ask God for guidance and pulled out my Bible, said a prayer, and randomly opened a page where I felt drawn to do so. I was drawn to 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, where it talks about how the word Amen means yes.

Ok, I get it. Time to mediprayer on this NOW. Cool.

So I did and here’s how I connected.

It is a word of miracles. It is the word of acceptance. When we say yes to God’s Love and His plan, we are being open to all that He wants to provide for us which is all the abundance and Truth that His infinite Love provides. By letting Jesus’s Love into our hearts, we learn who we truly are. “Yes” is about being true to the nature that God destined us to be. Saying yes to God is being the manifestation of the glory of God, because then there is nothing that can stop us from being just that.

Nelson Mandela said in his beautiful poem that we are here to manifest the glory of God.

Sounds like “Yes” is the greatest adventure of all.

And I’ll say Amen to that too.

Blessings,

Irene
