Dear Joanie and David and Mary Magdelene and Jesus and Mother Mary
It is always such a blessing to read your words, to hear you, to feel your love and know you are there loving and watching over us and keeping us safe and happy and preparing us for the Ascension. The one word that stood out to me in this piece is Oneness. I am not very good at it, though much better than some…I had a meeting last week where we had a Oneness blessing and talked about all the people in the world who are studying and giving and receiving oneness blessings. Is this making a difference in the vibration of the planet? How can we all help to create oneness?
I thank you for my healings and blessings and friends who are leading me to a better life. I am grateful for all I am learning and know there is oh so much more for me to learn and am working on making more time for this too. I am enjoying the learning. Soon I wish to teach what I have learned, but not until I have learned enough.
Loving you all and your messages,
and thanking you again and again
DenisedeniseMemberDear David,
I feel terrible tonight. My husband and I went out in New Brunswick to the theater. While we were walking in the rain, we passed a lady who asked us for a dollar. My husband kept walking and so did I. Not really because I didnt want to give her money but because stopping and opening up my purse would have been too difficult and we didnt have an umbrella and wanted to get out of the rain. And because I had no ide if I had any money on me or how much I had. And because that sort of thing happens quite often in cities, and everybody says dont give them money.
The lady had blond hair, a green coat, a smooth nice face, and the saddest eyes I ever saw. Those eyes haunted me for the rest of the evening. Even now. After we got pizza I went outside to look for her but I didnt see her. I wished I had given her a $20.
During the show I thought about that lady and I prayed that God would get her some money somehow. I prayed that she would be taken care of but still I felt I neglected my responsibility. So after the show, a lady approached me at my car and begged me for 7.75 to get on the train. She said her mom was in JFK hospital and she walked from there. Of course I didnt believe her, thats a good 5-10 miles away. And I told her I didnt believe her. She had a wrinkled weathered face, and I didnt even feel nearly as badly for her as I did the other lady but I sat in our car and reached into my waller and pulled out exactly $8. I only did it because I felt bad about the other one with the sad eyes.
Will you please ask the angels to take care of the lady with the sad eyes tonight? And the other one too who I gave the $8, and every other person out there who is desperate or homeless and hungry.
Love
DenisePS I also ate meat on a Friday in Lent 🙁 now which is really the worse sin? I think it was the lady.
deniseMemberHello David, and all,
It has been a very long time. I was moved to tears by your Christmas message from you and the Mary’s…I wrote a long response which I believed to be very beautiful, but something happened and it disappeared! I was so sad. Anyway I have been very busy taking care of work and children and painting the picture of my life as I want it to be, so all my spare time has been left to making journals and reading and writing and coming up with ideas…but I miss you and your guidance and your unconditional love. Do you have any messages for me?
Love
DenisedeniseMemberDavid
You are correct of course when you say I am not fearing all the time. But at the moment when I wrote this I was feeling stuck in quicksand. But I am strong and I have many moments, some frantically busy, others excruciatingly boring, still others marvelous and wonderful. The ability to have all of these many moments make me feel very lucky.I am working on my own story, my own happiness, and especially my relationship with my life partmner. And I will do as you say and pray for (and envision) a miracle. Thank you for hope.
You say Julie’s children are Crystal. I dont know much about these things, what are MY children? And where have we been before? I have one sweet angel who I thank God for every day. And another who torments me at every turn. I don’t know what I am learning from her but it is a difficult lesson. And my stepson who is not my blood but I have raised for the last 16 of his 20 years. But you already know all this…
I would love to hear how to keep my angel angelic, how to turn around my demanding one and how to best nurture and love and teach them all.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. Thank you for Julies kind words too, I think we have a lot in common, and thank you for your unwavering truth.
Love
DenisedeniseMemberOh David,
Its true. I fear, yes I fear. I fear all the time. I fear rejection. I fear that I am never good enough. I fear change. I fear uncertainty. I fear making the wrong decisions. I fear leaving something good or acceptable enough and then never finding anything better. I fear being alone. I fear being without. I fear so many things. I fear punishment for all my sins and shortcomings.
I always choose the path of least resistance. I have a good job. It’s OK, easy, good hours, pays well, but I don’t wake up excited every day to go there. But where am I ever going to find another job like this? What if I don’t? I need to pay bills. And I have a good marriage, great life partner, nice house, considerate and thoughful husband who I have nothing in common with and who never ever speaks his mind for fear of conflict, and so we have never been nor will ever be truly imtimate with each other. I fear if I try to force the issue, he will reject me. He probably fears the same. Yet I love him and he loves me. We are comfortable life partners. He is a part of me like my arm is a part of me. Everything is fine. But I want more. If I ask for more he will get defensive and shut himself off from me completely. Men and women don’t see eye to eye. Women want to talk, men want TV.
I wish I knew what to do to improve my situations. Without risking losing them. I long to be happy, fulfilled, joyous, complete. But I fear. I want to make a different movie but I dont have the script or the camera. Where do I begin?
Thank you for your answers and your love and your acceptance.
DenisedeniseMemberJulie: Re-read this 9/29 post on page 15. Envision and paint the picture of your life that you will LOVE. I pulled out a few quotes that may help. Let the light in to see and create a picture of a life you will love. I am working on the same, it takes time but worth it. Stop focusing on negative things or you will get more of the bad.
Joanie wrote:David’s Guidance – 9/29/11: “The Best Part of Waking Up…”First, we think pretty pictures make pretty movies. How does she (Joanie) take pictures for her website? She sees. Looks at beauty. Camera in hand. Snap! Done. This is the way we want you to look at all that is around you. If you see beauty, take the shot. Hold the image. She has held images for years to get through difficult times. We believe you can hold images inside to move through difficult times, too.
We suggest Glory be part of your image-making process. (smiles)
We say you can take things in you, around you to make a picture so wonderful that the Dark does not come in you. Possible? Yes. Do this overnight? Well… For some, this happens after the suggestion is made. Many wish to dabble before they get serious.
OK. It’s Dark. The Light’s wanting to shine now. You choose: Dark or Light? We believe Light invites pleasant ideas. (smiles) If Light is your journey, we say find the happiest idea and put it in front of you so others can feel you happy in this idea-making process. Also, make it about you, not others. So, we think you can imagine happy thoughts with you in them. Others join if they share the wish — the desire. If they wish other happy thoguhts and you are not invited, it is fine.
Go make the picture. We’ll wait. Did you draw a marvelous piece that puts you in the center? Now. How do you feel? Good? This is the purpose: To help you find happy thoughts to soothe you during moments of stress. You also learn to create miracles — absolute miracles.
deniseMemberOh Julie, you are NOT crazy! Many of us suffer from feeling not good enough every day. And many women, especially those who devote our lives to serving the men and/or children in our lives, who give so much and get so little, that we lose our selves after a time. I say take care of YOU too. Now that my kids are older that is what I am starting to do. But I work a full time job and parenting at night I am too tired and busy to do much, though I know I can do more. You do the same. Let your children learn from you how to make a happy life by being a happy example. You are perfect just as you are. Be who you want to be. David will tell you how much you are loved, just as you are, in heaven too. Be who you are. Ask for help if needed. Keep on growing… 🙂
deniseMemberWelcome Back Joanie, and David,
Maybe your power outage was telling you that you needed a rest. You have been working too hard.
I have a couple questions. I have been reading Courageous Souls by Robert Schwatrz, and also listening on audoibook to Brian Weiss books, many Souls Many Masters, and Same Soul many bodies. According to his research we have or will live many lives. And we are planning them in advance working on the perfection of our soul. We all have themes to overcome, like prejudice, violence, etc, and we keep living lives until we get the balance. And as you say the balance is getting us to always move toward LOVE, so it fits nicely with your words.
How will the Ascension impact our learnings? What if we havent perfected our roles?
And from a personal perspective, how do I/we know (without a past life regression) what our themes are? I have so many issues with low self esteem, weight, trust, sexuality, needing to be right, and have even had a few struggles with anger/violence but I don’t think it’s a major theme. Any insights for me? I want to accomplish my objectives.
Or is just working toward putting more love in the world enough? I have been trying to make consious decisions to choose the action that will put more love in the world, however trivial, try to avoid a fight or do something nice for someone. Yet I’m not sure that is enough.
Thanks again, as always for your words and insights.
Love and Light
DenisedeniseMemberDavid,
What are you suggesting we DO if our job does not “helping the world”? In this complicated world where we live, we need to have a job to make money to feed our kids. Not everybody can be an enlightener. We can’t all hear you and write your words like Joanie…but we still have families to feed.
Is doing other things enough? Can we bring love into the world outside of work too? We can use the money we make to help others. We can do free but loving things like help a friend or give advice or show compassion or comfort the sad. We can write encouraging words for people to read. We can sponsor a child in a poor region. We can donate items, support charities, pray for people. What else can/should we do if we cannot find a job that creates love in the world?
Or– let’s say we decide we want to take your advice. We want to alter what we do. Find something to make the world a better place. What kind of work is really valuable? How can we increase the vibration on earth?
And last (I know, here we go again…) if the Ascension is within the year, then do we even have enough TIME to change our worlds so we can make the world a better place? It takes time to learn a new job, start a business, or create a masterpiece. What can we do NOW?
Thanks for the advice. I always wanted to do something that could change the world, even just the world of a few.
Love and Light
DenisedeniseMemberJulie
Thank you for posting. We all benefit from the answers. You can see how much you are loved by heaven. You must be a very special person. Love yourself.
DenisedeniseMemberDavid,
I think everybody FEELS young. Bodies age, minds/spirits don’t. Most of my friends are essentially the same as in high school. We wonder where the years have gone. I feel most young when I am in love. I feel most old when I am trudging through things I hate (like getting up for work on Monday mornings.)
Yesterday we went to the cemetary for a historical tour. Every October the historical society in my town has actors pretend to be certain dead people in the museum, and people walk by candlelight (and flashlights if you bring one) from table to table “meeting” these people and seeing pictures and artifacts from their lives and times. It is very cool and we do it every year.
My 12 year old Jessica started asking me questions about her dead grandparents (my husbands parents) and i told her about it. We started to talk more about death and I told her I would rather be creamated. She started to cry “I dont want to talk about it anymore, I dont want to talk anymore.” She was so sad and scared all night. I didnt know what to say. I tried to explain about death not being the end but she wouldnt listen to any more. WHAT should I have said to make her feel better???
I know that if she doesn’t go to the light, and if I can’t get her to go, then I would stay behind too because I love her so much and she needs me. And I need her. She’s the love of my life. How can I teach her more? What can/should I teach her?
My husband rejects religion and spirituality of all kinds, and though we started out in the Roman Catholic church, some “Holier than thou” people from our church really turned me OFF to going, and I never fell in love with the new church, and nobody in my family would come with me anymore as they got older, so we all stopped going. Sometimes I watch it on TV but most times I just read and think and, as you know, I believe the pieces I believe now and no more.
Thanks.
DenisedeniseMemberYes, love hurts.
Love everybody, and some will not love you back.
Love everybody, and you are vulnerable to hurt.Love a little, love a lot…
so many kinds and degrees of love.
Love with passion or love with companionship?
Which one prevails?
Depends on who you love most.
Sometimes love for your children prevails.Yes love hurts.
Sometimes people act like they love you, but they tell you they don’t.
Sometimes people tell you they love you, but they don’t act like it.Sometimes you love people and they don’t love you back in the same way.
Sometimes people love you but you don’t love them back in the same way.Somtimes you love people who hurt you.
Sometimes you hurt people you love.Sometimes you love people who leave.
Sometimes you want to leave people who love you.That’s why loving people isn’t enough.
Love yourself.
Love God.
Love without limits is only in heaven.
Where love won’t hurt anymore,
Where love is unconditional and forever.deniseMemberOK Guys,
Maybe you hit a hot button with me (no pun intended) but once I got hot about free love and hippies I started typing and couldnt stop. But did anybody read the part I wrote about LOVE and not just the sex part? Because I have taken you angels very seriously when you said love, and that we are all one, and I am trying to rid myself of predispositions and prejudices and judgements to practice sending love to all.
Here it is:
So now let’s get back to LOVE. YES, I agree, love everybody. (But mostly without sex.) I love my family and friends, people I know, and even people I don’t know. I’ve been working hard on this. I notice that it’s easy to love people I know or talk to or listen to. But some days I look around and see someone who looks ugly. And try to love them. What color is their skin? What size is their body? Rotten teeth? Acne? Handicapped? Blind? Give love and love love love. We are all one.
It is hard to love others with faults when you don’t love yourself. Work on knowing and loving yourself first. Accept your faults and theirs. Practice compassion, empathy. Walk a mile in each others shoes. Bear each others burdens, share each others joys. “We are all in this together…” “Get by with a little help…” “All you need is love…love is all you need.” (since you want some music.)
Love isn’t just for people. Love the earth and the heavens and the stars. Love your pets and your plants. Love your new car and the open windows and the wind in your hair. Love the pretty tulips blooming through the frozen ground. Love your favorite foods and your favorite sport. Love your favorite books and movies and music. Love how you feel when the sun shines on your face.
Love your angels and your guides, let’s not forget.[/size][*]
So let me know what you think about the non-sex part because this is the true stuff the real stuff I meant to portray when discussing this topic. The sex part was just warnings about reliving the 60’s.
Love and all my best work is for you.
Denise 😀
deniseMemberFunny, I am taken utterly by surprise by your last post. I’m not even sure what to say here but I am going to try. Let’s NOT condone free sex. (I am actually rather surprised at you, since there is no procreation in the spirit world, from what I understand there is also no sex in heaven. Are you missing out???)
Let’s start by learning from history. You sound a little like the hippies of the 60s with all your talk of free love and sex. We as a people were rewarded for that phase of history by acquiring AIDS and a bunch of other sexually transmitted diseases. It’s killing thousands and millions of people, leaving so many orphans in Africa and miserable, scared, dying, people all over the world. Uneducated people who think they will be cured by having sex with virgins, who walk around raping and infecting babies!
Free sex also opened the doors for many various new and different acts of “love” including sex with children, pedopiles… You have to know how many young innocent children were damaged by being introduced to sex in scary, secretive, and violent ways that they were never ready for, physically or mentally. I won’t even get into discussions of pornography, prostitution, sex with animals, abortion, date rape, sex drugs, pain, bondage and other things I maybe never heard of! What I have learned from my teenagers is that children (in middle class suburbs) are having some kinds of sex as early as 13-14 years old. Are they even old enough to know what love is?
Free sex has other consequences. How many babies end up growing up with one parent and no money? How many more pregnancies need to be terminated or born to unwed struggling mothers and deadbeat fathers, growing up angry and hostile before we close our collective legs and wait for the environment and timing that is in the best interest of the children? People around the world are killing their babies, or selling them to slavery–sexual slaves for horny men or work slavery for dangerous factories working their fingers to the bone. Every single problem in the world is because of a child who wasn’t properly loved and cared for.
Sex is not equal to love. Sex is EGO. Sex makes us feel like we are good enough, attractive enough, desirable, and young. Sex sells. Sex is power. Sex is exciting. Sex is forbidden fruit. Sex is MONEY! Sex is forgetting. Sex is release. Sex is so many things
I myself have been around a block or two in my life and I can definitely attest to the fact that there is a huge difference between sex and love. But often sex leads to love and more often love leads to sex, and yet they are different. I can love many people I have no interest in having sex with, and have sex with people I do not love. Yeah maybe it would be fun to have 2 or 30 or 400 husbands to love and enjoy but then they would do the same and in the end it would all turn into a competition for who’s got the most lovers the nicest body and we would all end up more insecure than before. Not to mention the disease and wondering whose child is this!
So now let’s get back to LOVE. YES, I agree, love everybody. (But mostly without sex.) I love my family and friends, people I know, and even people I don’t know. I’ve been working hard on this. I notice that it’s easy to love people I know or talk to or listen to. But some days I look around and see someone who looks ugly. And try to love them. What color is their skin? What size is their body? Rotten teeth? Acne? Handicapped? Blind? Give love and love love love. We are all one.
It is hard to love others with faults when you don’t love yourself. Work on knowing and loving yourself first. Accept your faults and theirs. Practice compassion, empathy. Walk a mile in each others shoes. Bear each others burdens, share each others joys. “We are all in this together…” “Get by with a little help…” “All you need is love…love is all you need.” (since you want some music.)
Love isn’t just for people. Love the earth and the heavens and the stars. Love your pets and your plants. Love your new car and the open windows and the wind in your hair. Love the pretty tulips blooming through the frozen ground. Love your favorite foods and your favorite sport. Love your favorite books and movies and music. Love how you feel when the sun shines on your face.
Love your angels and your guides, let’s not forget. I love to love! (I love sex too…sometimes.)
I love you David (and all) but as you see you struck a chord with me. And if you really know me you know that I am no Virgin Mary. But I am learning respect for myself and my body and for the first time in my life have learned that there are many more important things in the world than sex. Don’t ruin it for me now.
Love
DenisedeniseMemberDear David,
I was not complaining, just trying to speak for all thouse countless readers (are you SURE they are out there???) who might read our posts and the difficulties they may have encountered trying to post a reply. Come on PEOPLE…it’s really NOT THAT HARD! I would love to hear what others have to say or ask, and can’t wait to read David’s replies!
What a magnificent honor it is to be able to receive the personal guidance, love and acceptance of heaven that is offered up here for all! Everybody should be so lucky!
OK I have a question. Many many years ago, my friends and I picked up a Ouija board, and “the devil” came in and told one of the guys he was going to die first. A couple years later the 19 year old contracted cancer and died! I have never forgotten that and also have never again used a ouija board. My friend is having a seance and I am thinking of attending but I find it a little spooky, should I go?
Over the years my Roman catholic upbringing has been somewhat replaced by some new philosophies which I have compiled from various sources. (is that bad? I have created my own sense of religion…) One of them is that I no longer believe there is a devil. No Satan. People are all from God, then they are all of the spirit, right? We have our bad sides but I truly believe that everything bad that ever happened was just somebody’s warped sense of good. Is Satan a symbol for man’s bad choices?
Do you have anything to tell us about “Satan” or “Evil” or “Hell?” I know it’s in the bible but that was written and translated by man to serve their own purposes. Many enlightened people talk about “dark” spirits, how can they be dark if they come from God? You love us all unconditionally. Or should I be watching my back?
Thank you for your guidance, I have always wondered such things. I wish more people would sign up and ask questions too, until Joanie wears out her keyboard from typing!
Love and gratitude
Denise -
