A Resource for Spiritual Aspirants and Students of Dr. David R. Hawkins' Work
♪♫•* The stories of the birds *•♫♪
It seemed like a good idea to create a place where we can share with one another, our magical stories of the Divine
or perhaps start discussions relating to the "ups" & the "downs" in our walk down this most Glorious & aurduous Path back Home.
It's such a blessing to have others to bounce ideas off of that know what your going through & they can be that burning torch when yours seems to be fizzing out...because they have been there....and when we cant "see" the forest for the trees....
we are always given exactly what we need in every moment....and alot of times, He gives us each other ♥

while preparing for tomarrows get together....i came across this story that Doc wrote about in "willingness" in Transcending the levels of consciousness....a beautiful example of Love, Devotion, & Willingness to be a Servant of the Lord......Pg 208...
The true-life story of an acquaintance named Greta exemplifies all the above. She came to the United States from Ireland with only a limited grade-school education and no skills and thus sought work as a maid. She found a job as an upstairs maid on the large estate of a very wealthy and socially prominent family. Her cheerful willingness and dedication to the family's welfare resulted in her progressive promotion to housekeeper. She tended to all the needs of the family, traveling around the world with them in luxurious style. The father of the family had many investments and he occasionally gave Greta a 'tip' at dinnertime about the stock market. Peculiarly enough, Greta's stocks always skyrocketed.As time went on, his occasional recommendations resulted in the expansion of Greta's portfolio, with its relatively frequent stock splits.
Eventually, she traded a block of stocks for some Manhattan (New York) real estate and subsequently became a millionaire in her own right. Despite her now considerable wealth, Greta continued with her dedication to the family as they grew up, had their 'coming out' parties, got married, etc.
One day she received a call from a distant uncle who was visiting from Ireland. He called a number of family members to meet with him in New York City, which was a bit of a trip, but Greta was the only one who agreed to do so. She met him for lunch, and then he went back to Ireland.A few years later, he died and left an enormous estate (worth many millions of dollars) to Greta out of gratitude for her friendliness.
Greta continued on as the family housekeeper and was a multimillionaire many times over by the time she fmally died. Her funeral was attended by many hundreds of people whom she had befriended over the years. In her will, she left a great deal to charity, along with enough to make
all of her children and relatives extremely wealthy also. Apropos of Greta's story, a recent remark by another acquaintance said,"You know, a million dollars just doesn't go very far anymore."
Willingness (cal. 310) stands in contrast to 'do-gooderism' (cal. 190),which seeks control and imposition of presumptive values on others.

I just heard a statement about how vines at the bottom of the forest floor attach themselves to those that have already made or are making the journey to find the light. Made me think about this group and how on difficult days of this little self attaches to the uplifting of this group. It makes the journey smoother (is that a word? *laughs*). Cool. Thanks everyone.

this is a comparison....look at how she lived her life and made ends meet with what little she started out with and watch it grow...and then there are others that have so much and to them, its not enough...all in a person's subjective experience

magical stories of the Divine?.....When I was around 15 I awoke one summer night on the sofa....I had fallen asleep while watching T V . I was home alone and it was still light outside...but something woke me and as I woke up I realized it was now night time and i had to re orient my self as to where i was.....only the light of the television was there and as I awoke more I realized someone was standing right there in the living room . I had no thoughts or reaction but only witnessed what took place...and it was only after the visit did I have mental cometary about this...but I do remember thinking how tall the figure was standing there....we had an old Spanish style house up in the hills of Altadena Calif. just up from Pasadena and it had a sunken living room which meant that the distance between the floor and ceiling was about 10 ft. and this persons head was just about touching the ceiling..although he was wearing a white turban.....he was just standing there gazing directly in my eyes and as we looked at each other I could see the T V movement reflecting off his eyes...his eyes were peaceful and calm... I had not taken my eyes off his and it was as if my eyes where locked on to his but not in a forceful way ....a very natural feeling accompanied the entire visit for me....after some time of this I began to look at the white gown or robe he was wearing .....his appearance looked clear and natural except at the edge of his clothing instead of a clear ending.....there was instead a vaporous light of mostly white but included a multiple of other colors that made all the edges of his clothing look fuzzy but only on the very edge.....and then as I looked further down where his feet would be it just got really fuzzy as if he were hovering about a foot off the carpet....I will need to end the story for now .....I'm very tired and will pick this back up and tell more later...
