While Adventuring Away From Home

“You don’t know what it will be, but you know it will be great! What a pattern for living. I love that!”

From Deborah: As the latest chapter in our new work (which we are currently writing) is titled: Bittersweet, I can say I found our return home from our travels to the islands of the Outer Banks to be just that, happy but redolent with that misty sense of missing something. I imagine that I missed that sense of adventure of what will happen next. I missed the freshness of a morning somewhere else so far from my home. Now, after reading what Our Teachers have posted: Returning Home, I have learned that I carried all that with me. In the same way that I longed for change and to go adventuring, I also longed for peace and quiet in my heart … and recognition that all is well and I can have a fabulous life wherever I am. Our Teachers confirm that, and I am grateful.

Yet, so much about our experiences there seem to draw something new out of me. A view of trees and plants that don’t grow here in upstate NY, and the ocean spray and mist that we don’t get here, and more intense sunlight than we get here, and the list goes on. However, in each case, when feeling stimulated by those things, I always felt such gratitude to be where I am, at any given moment. Such thanks! I am just as happy here, back home, at my desk writing this to you and having my happy memories. [Read more…] about While Adventuring Away From Home

Returning Home

“Must we travel to different spheres in our minds or to different places physically to get that kick we so need out of our lives?”

From the Teachers: “When we return from some beloved landscape of our dreams or perhaps a marvelous vacation, we rej evening-1031236__180 oice in our return to our homes. Yet we carry the happiness and profound moments that we experienced while away, back home with us. What does this say about our lives? Must we travel to different spheres in our minds or to different places physically to get that kick we so need out of our lives? Does the change do us that much good?

Well, we write a lot about change and we have stated that change is always return. You need not wonder for change is always thus. You return to where you left off … unless you did something different … unless you opened new doors and experienced highs not felt before. We love that change is return, for it spells out what we already know – that you return to the arms of the loving universe each time. That is a given … and a promise. So what good does a vacation or ‘sea change’ do?

You have made a commitment to yourself to work on a change of some sort, a change we prefer to call a transformation where you wish to make a kind of shift, either within yourself or concerning something you are doing. Do you understand? An intended transformation can be dressed in so many coats and so many colors. We speak of where you have applied a mixture of intention and wish with planning the physical outcome such as travel in your car or plane, and you arrive at a physical place and you see it or sense it with your physical senses. Now you are ‘here,’ you say. Now you have arrived. But what have you arrived to? That is the question. [Read more…] about Returning Home

Getting It Right — Here and Now

By Deborah Arndt

“Imagine a wise sand dune, sitting there waiting for your visit. It expects you to come and play awhile, to move the sand around in little piles, or to pour it into a bucket and spill it back out again …”

From the Teachers: “We are so pleased to be writing this morning’s post to you. We are in the midst of writing our new book, which will be our fourth, for you. As we create this new volume, our already completed one, Magnitude: Varying Our Degree of Learning, is getting ready for “launch.” In the meantime, we are hard at work to get our next book underway for you. There is much we want to say to you on a fine morning like this where Deborah writes. She is visiting an island in the mid-Atlantic with sweeping winds and mild, even chilly temperatures, but plenty of beach. She can walk for miles. One can feel such confidence and well-being from this location, and we want you to feel that, too. Perhaps if you rest your hands on a keyboard somewhere or take up a pen, we will be only too happy to flow to you some inspiring and helpful words. You see, we can do that, either in writing or in words that flow to you from our “brain” to yours, so to speak. That is known, of course, as telepathy, but we are pretty good at it in a plain and simple way, without fancy words, because we are on the same energetic current as you. We can emit a thought of well-being for you, and just for you, and “voila” it arrives at your door, so to speak, or should we say in your mind in a way that you can register it.

Let’s Travel

By Deborah Arndt

Paul and I are taking off for a road trip. This time we’re doing it differently.

We’re taking Aggie, our dog, and making a lot of stops along the way. We’re on an adventure, not just a trip. We’ve planned it so there are lots of places to walk: parks, beaches and woodlands. We’ll visit historic sites and stay at all sorts of places: country inns, motels and a cottage we’ve rented for a couple days. As I do my work with the Teachers, I understand how important getting outside really is. I understand how important varying my point of view is. I recently purchased my first smartphone with good quality cameras so that I could record some of the sights that inspire me. I plan to share these with you when I can. I know you have other things to do than watch one more video, but I’d like to include some of the Teachers inspirational words at the same time. Maybe this will get YOU going, too.

Perhaps when you travel you will take some words of the Teachers along with you, either snippets from this blog or from the books, and use them to uplift your experience even further. Now there’s a thought to ponder: getting even more excited about your experiences! The Teachers let us know that we can amplify or ‘magnify’ everything we do. We just completed a book about that: Magnitude: Varying Our Degree of Learning. The essence of it is to understand more about life, more about who we are, and to mine for deeper understanding. The book does most of the mining for us, initially, and then we can work more deeply on our own. You could say it takes us on a mining adventure and then leaves us happily exploring a bit more. But we’re not really on our own. They are always there, helping and answering questions along the way.

My road trip is just that … a chance to look around me and see even more, if I have the eyes to see, as the Teachers say. So I will go out and look. It’s just that simple. We’ll load up the car but leave plenty of room for adventure. – Deborah

Enough for All Time

“Each day when you awaken, something wonderful is happening. Are you looking for it?”

From the Teachers: “Dear Ones: This morning we write you and wish you all well. As Deborah sits here writing for us there is much beauty to look out upon. What about for you? Do you have what you need about and around you? What are you searching for? Each day when you awaken something wonderful is happening. Are you looking for it? Are you assuming that worry and concern have come your way and will be around for a while? We want to ask you to stop and draw a breath and see what else might be out there for you. Life is passing by and what are you doing about it?

You fashion life just as you do everything else. You take the clay given you and make something more. What do you think about that? In this very day, you are offered heaps of clay, mountains of it in fact. What will you do? Deborah is looking out on snow mounds on the water and imagines how she might walk on them, and how they might take her somewhere else. Now we speak of clay and how these mountains are like so much clay piled up for her, for you to play with. There is so much of it.

Imagine the Rockies. Now there is a lot of clay if you want to think of them that way. There is enough clay to keep you going. What we mean is that if you were to imagine them as the clay we and ‘All that is’ have provided for you, and you can shape your experience like so much clay, then we have given you the Rockies worth of clay to be getting on with. Can you understand that?

Now you sit there and worry in this day… will there be enough, will there be happiness, enough money, enough time, enough good times, enough… enough… enough. Well, ENOUGH, is what WE say. Enough with worrying about such things Why not try trusting? Now there is an idea for you. Why not just believe that there will BE enough? You could work on that for this day and give yourself a lifetime of joy, a lifetime of enough. The kind that unfolds happily and joyfully each day. What does that mean? It is like money in the bank, a never ending supply. What do you think life is made of anyway? It is the stuff of the universe, you are part of it, and it never ends and it is all around you and inside you and in between the cells of you, supporting all that you are and ‘All that is.’ Now do you think there is enough of that to go around? Of course there is. How could it be otherwise?

Don’t let niggling worries peck away at your happiness until you have a hole-y experience. Fill in each speck of your life, the whole and full texture of your life with something more. Thicken and expand it, until the ‘warps and woofs’ of your life are supportable for all you experience and all you think you must endure. You will bounce back like the softest of mattresses and again find your stance. You will laugh as you fall into your soft mattresses, the softness that surrounds every little thing that loves you and adores you.

Now take away that thought today from this blog and ask yourself what comforts you most: knowing that you have this soft loving enduring mattress to fall back upon my friend, or that you have thin hopes, thin experiences and barely ‘enough’ to get by? Which do you prefer? What is the difference? Only in your thinking … the application of your thought to make things so. We will want to keep talking about this with you for we are so intensely concerned for you. That means we bring great focus to bear upon these things to get to you through loving communication … which is really the best kind. Nothing can be imposed upon you, but that you allow it. So we approach softly with love and consideration for you. And we hope you’re willing to listen and learn. You see, that is our approach. Do use this blog as a portal for us to connect with YOU. That is our intention. Have a blessed day in all that you do and think. Bring good things toward you and watch what happens.” Your Teachers.

“Nothing can be imposed upon you, but that you allow it. So we approach softly with love and consideration for you. And we hope you’re willing to listen and learn. You see, that is our approach.”

Celebrating This Moment

By Deborah Arndt

I am so pleased to bring words to inspire you. This blog is a great way to offer fresh encouragement and learning on a regular basis. It’s my goal to publish messages regularly. I encourage you to check back often to see what’s new.

Sometimes I will add “notes from the field” as I move through my own experiences and wish to share them with you, as inspiration or perhaps just as a laugh to reflect our common humanity. Remember that we are in this together, and I am learning along with you. All our experiences matter. And some are just too special not to share. I hope you feel that way, too. Your comments are welcome.

The prime focus of this blog is to bring messages to you, and to expand your learning experiences. For this reason, most posts will be from the Teachers. You will be able to distinguish posts by the Teachers and posts of mine in that I will add a picture of me to my posts. For theirs, I will let their words be front and center, as they are so wonderful! Also, each of their posts will conclude with, ‘Your Teachers.’ In this way, you will know they are writing to you, and it is their voice coming through, not mine. I hope this is of help and benefit to you. -Deborah
