Dear Bigfeet and John,
Thank you so much for your posts. I always learn so much from reading them.
Thank you as well for your love without judgment, for teaching me to love without shame, for helping and supporting me here with an open mind, heart and arms. I am blessed to see the limitless love and support I spoke of right here, exactly where I come to for guidance and growth. Thank you for showing me the way to peace and strength.

Thank you, Jesus for the scepter. I lean on it now as I continue on this path and gather all the love, hope and faith I have. I love you and am so grateful.

Thank you my dearest God, Divine Mother, loving Buddha, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Archangel Michael, Joanie, David, Chapio, and all who come in love and light. Thank you for your teachings and your blessings. I know you are with me. I am so very grateful.
Blessings to you and yours.
With love and light,
Julisa

This is Dorlie:
I felt intrigued ; )

Hello Everyone,

I had the urge to give my opinion on the subject being discussed in the past two pages about Judaism because I have my own experiences I’d like
to share 🙂

I was born Jewish, but as a kid never felt connected to the biblical stories and traditions. In my adolescent and teen years I
desperately desired to fill the hole in my soul and I tried to find a religion that fit. I went to Christian bible study and church, I read books on Buddhism, Native American Spirituality, went to Jehovah Witness and Hare Krishnah meetings, talked to Catholic friends…
There were bits and pieces that fit my soul but not one religion completely made sense to me.
At the age of 18 I had a spiritual experience in the forest of Glacier Bay Alaska and I stopped looking. My spirituality had found me.

As most people naturally are, I am influenced by the teachings of my youth, such as Jewish people believing in one God.
I believe in one God. Not because anyone was negative about Jesus growing up, or any other messiah of other religions, just because I was taught there is one
God, and that continues to make sense to me. I don’t feel blinded, I actually feel connected, but I can understand why people who believe in
living Gods, messengers and/or messiahs would think I am missing out.

I go to Temple with my mom every time I visit and have been very pleasantly inspired and motivated to feel more spiritual and connected with
myself, God, all living creatures through those services. I believe through experience with Reform Judaism that it is a loving, positive, hopeful, open, and spiritual religion that promotes its followers to love God and others, give to others, connect to others, no matter what their race, religion, background…
It is very grounded these days and about living our best lives. I am sure, as with all religions, it is sure to have some not so great followers and religious teachers that focus on negatives.

I don’t think anyone should feel sorry for others who do not believe as they do. Take comfort in knowing those people, as like you, are connected to God, Love and Light in their own way, and though acceptance of that, we can all feel connected despite the difference between all beliefs and religions.

Love,
dor

Thanks, Joanie! Love you too!!

Hi Joanie,

O.K. I see you have not understood me. Your friendship means a lot to me and you know I love you very much. I wonder how best to answer. Maybe I have misunderstood you too? I do not want to upset you or cause you pain in any way, but I think this is important, so I want to be clear.

I too am/was speaking of spirituality and the path to awakening, not a “spiritual high”.

I think every person has a different life and different experiences. Not one person has been raised exactly the same, nor have they come in with the same past life experiences. You have had your current and past life experiences and that is what has brought you to where you are today. That is good and honorable. I am not trying to take away from that. However, I feel that your first post pointed to ALL Jews and stereotyped them as being “kept from Source” and not “having the sort of spiritual awakenings as Christians”. It painted a picture of an entire group of people in a negative light. I was sad about that. I do not want people to point out another people and say “these people are not love and light, I say no to them and all they are” (no matter what religion people are) for it stops the flow of love and peace. So, I tried to offer the positive and show that there are exceptions to your statements. I tried to show that it is not a group of people as a whole, but individuals within Each group that may not have found the right path yet.

I know many Jews that have been told that they were going to hell just because they are Jewish or asked where their horns were (because certain religions teach that Jews are Satan’s spawn and therefore born with horns). Mexicans are labeled as “lazy”. Hispanics must be a certain color in order to be truly Hispanic. Each of these labels/stereotypes creates a negative flow instead of a positive one. This is why I am so passionate. I want the love to continue, not stop. I pray for myself and all people to be open and accepting, loving and patient. For all people, all things, all beings.

In my opinion, Judaism does not focus on “trials and horrors”. It talks about them, as do other religions. I believe the focus of Judaism is love, compassion, trust and faith. I have heard many services on forgiveness. This has been my experience.

I too am talking about and also believe that spiritual path extends beyond religion. But I do not see “beyond” as shutting the door on any one thing, just moving on/out while still including and honoring religions. Like a path that winds through many towns, you can pick up souvenirs from each town along the way and love each one. I think the difference is I feel you are saying that it can not be done unless one renounces Judaism (and only Judaism). And if one does not renounce Judaism then one can not be on the proper spiritual road.

Yes! It is true that ALL religions contain rules that are out of step with peace for all beings, love and light. It is not just the Jewish religion though. It is up to each one of us to look at these rules and ask ourselves, “Does this contribute to peace and love for all beings?” “Does this encourage love or stop the flow of love and acceptance?” These are questions all people must ask themselves in EVERY religion. It is each person’s responsibility to question and seek answers.

Yes! Our experiences with Jewish people embracing Jesus are different! This was exactly my point! You know only a certain amount of Jewish people and they have led you to see and feel about Jewish people in a certain way, but they are not hard facts about the millions of people who call themselves Jews. Some do not believe in Jesus yet, but they are on the right road towards spiritual, metaphysical enlightenment, some wear head coverings but they too are on the right road, some believe in Jesus and Buddha, reincarnation and soothsayers and they too are on the right road…..There are SO many more Jewish people out there all over the world and they are all so different. It can not be true that Jews do not have “the sort of spiritual awakenings as Christians” and that Jews are “one of the last to awaken”. Individuals within each group, or the individuals you have known, yes. An entire group of people, my experience tell me no.

I love you dearly, Joanie. You are my sister and friend. I honor you and your path and thank you for your love and your guidance.

Thank you for encouraging the discussion. I hope I was able to be a bit more clear.
With love and light,
Julisa

Aye, yai, yai. I don’t know. I don’t think that EVERY Jewish person, because of the fact that he/she is Jewish is not spiritual. That is like saying all Jewish people are rich or have big noses or are born with horns on their heads. These are stereotypes and broad classifications for a group of people of whom we may know only a small percentage of. Some may be rich, but I grew up with a ton who were dirt poor. Some may not be spiritual or open to learning more about anything else except what is interpreted for them, but the same can be said of many Christians, Catholics, Lutherans, etc. Maybe it is more of an individual thing? A religious title is just that, a title. And it is only on a person for one lifetime. The soul continues and moves in and out of lifetimes. While a soul may be Jewish in this lifetime, it may have been Catholic, Yaweh, Muslim in others. I an say that in this lifetime I have known many Jews who are very open and very spiritual. Just because they choose to call themselves Jewish (or Christian or Buddhist) does not mean they are all the same.

I also think that people can live in love and be good people and on the right spiritual path and not believe in everything. There are people in all different religions who do not believe in either Jesus, (Please forgive me, it actually hurts me to write this) Buddha, Lord Krishna, or even God (oy vey). Yet, they may be generous with love, compassionate, connected to Earth and all her wonderful miracles and blind to color, sex or race, etc. I kind of always thought that those things are what God, Jesus, Buddha, Lord Krishna, and company actually cared about, not whether each person “believed”in the same exact people (maybe I am wrong???). Just because a person has not found Jesus yet does not mean he is not on the road toward spirituality, only that he has not yet opened that door. There are many doors on the path to spirituality and Awakening. And if people live with love and light in their hearts and their intentions are good and loving, then no matter what religion they are, they will find those doors and begin to open them one by one.

All religions teach wonderful and beautiful things. I was born Jewish and I loved it because I always felt so much spirituality connected with it. I was taught my first spiritual lessons there and am so grateful: Love all people and do not judge others (even when they are different), plant trees and respect and love them, always remember and give what you can to those who are not as fortunate, be grateful, pray, see God and the good in all people and things big and small, remember each breath is a miracle, and so much more. It is where I first learned that one could be very spiritually connected to God with each and every little action and chore….putting on the black hats, clothing and headpieces, walking to Temple, making dinner, praying. In Israel I saw so many Jews do these things with such a great love for God that it transformed the everyday rituals into loving, spiritual connections with God. They were so moved internally by prayer and love for God that their bodies actually moved physically. I do not feel sorry for these people. They have such a deep connection to God and the Divine. I do not think it matters that the clothing is black or that the head is covered when the actions are done with the intention and will of loving God and bringing God into every aspect of life.

The temple is also where I first learned about Jesus, where he first came into my life and where I first learned to love him. I was so young when I first heard his name and they talked of him with such love and reverence. I was immediately drawn to his name and his being. As I allowed myself to learn more and more about him, my beliefs shifted and changed, I loved him more and more and he became a bigger and bigger part of me.

Maybe this is just what I (and all the other Jews who believe in Jesus, for there are many) chose to hear. Maybe I just kept the good stuff and left the rest, but there was and is good stuff…in Judaism as well as all other religions/spiritual belief systems.

These good and love driven teachings are what I choose to put into my spiritual basket. Like shells on the beach, I pick the ones that resonate with me and leave the rest…God, Buddha, Jesus, Lord Krishna, Native American beliefs, Pleiadian light-beings, Gwanyin, Judaism, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalena, Archangel Michael, Reiki, and so many others are all part of who I am. This is what makes up my belief system today. I am still Jewish, and I am proud and happy about that. But I am so much more than that as well because my essence is not made up of that one title. None of us are, whether we are Jewish or not. Please look past these classification categories of religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, profession, sexual make-up, place of origin, etc. and look deep into each person’s essence. All beings are so wonderfully different and layered..like an onion, each being has so much more than that first layer or what we can see on top. Find the good and light that each one brings and open yourself to learning from him/her for there always something to learn from another loving being no matter what titles we believe that person to hold.

We are all one. Each and every one of us has the ability to attain spiritual awakening/ascension. It is not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN. Let us have patience with one another, let us look beyond what we think to be true and open ourselves to the many possibilities of God’s truth, let us share our light and love with one another and I believe the blessings of awakening will befall us all with more love than we could ever imagine.

I will step off my soap box now. I apologize for the length of this. I mean no disrespect at all to anyone or anything. Please forgive me if offend anyone, I do not mean to do that in any way.
With all my love,
Julie, the Irish, Mexican, Native American, Ladina, Southern Jewban soul-searching mommy girl from the Beach.

Thank you, David, for your words, patience and guidance. No, I don’t have any more questions. No more. I will rest now and find more time to meditate and heal as you ask. Yes, I am fine where I am. Thank you.
Thank you, Archangel Michael for your love and comfort and your presence in my life.
Thank you, Joanie. xoxox
Thanks for Mrs. Mack.
With much love to you all,

Dear David, Mother Mary, Jesus, Mary Magdalena, and all those who come here in love and light with guidance and teachings…
And, hello Denise! Yay! I am so happy to see you back here. I have missed you. (did you get my message?)
Thank you, Denise for sharing your words too. You are in my prayers and heart and thoughts.
Thank you all for “The Way”s. I have been mulling over your words and the posts and recently caught a bit of a glimpse of what life can be like here and now when one leads with one’s heart. It seems the actions are the same (you still have to make breakfast), but the talk is different and I understand now that because the talk and intention are different, so is the energy output and maybe ultimately vibrational contribution? It seems to go something like this: The head says something like, “I have to make breakfast so I can get the kids dressed and out in time” Heart: “I love and am so grateful that I get to make breakfast for my family and that we get to sit together for a while before they go off to school and work.” I know I have a lot of love in my heart for everything and everyone around me..and I feel I love all things freely and fully, but this is a love I have not really been in tune with, maybe because of the internal mind chatter? My head is very strong, I know that and I am grateful too because without that strength I would not be here right now, but it seems I am a bit out of balance (ah, balance, my constant quest :)). Maybe now it is too strong or just interfering a bit with the heart flow. I guess that is what I got from the readings (whether this is what it was meant to inspire, I don’t know) because it is what I am struggling with. Thank you for reminding me. I like leading with the heart much better, this head thing is not all it is cracked up to be ;).
Thank you, Joanie for all you do. xoxoxo
With much love,
Julisita, the tadpole flip flap flopping about just trying to get into that big beautiful ocean of loooooove

[julie]

Oh boy! I see now that Joanie must have posted a reply to you, John while I was writing to you. You are getting a double whammy of a read! I hope this is o.k. and not too overwhelming. Sending you extra love! Julie

[julie]

Dear John,
I send you big hugs, wings wrapped around you and much love. I understand exactly how you feel. I understand the pain and sadness that comes from thinking of the babies and children and the horrible things that can happen to them on this earth. I agree that there seems “” to be no rhyme or reason, no justification, no benefit. I will tell you what has helped me come to a better place with all of these things. I hope it helps you to ease your mind and bring you to a better place as well.
It is something that is very hard for many to understand. It would boggle and blow my mind when I would hear stories of mothers putting their 2 yr olds in ovens and leaving them there to die so painfully. I could not get the images, the stories, how the children must have felt, what they must have been thinking out of my head. It would stay with me for days, months and years only to be replaced by another horrible story and situation. After speaking with Joanie and doing some reading on my own as well, I decided to choose. I know it doesn’t change what is happening in the way you want it to, but I decided to choose to believe that these things happen for a reason, for the growth of the soul, because of the soul’s plan. I am choosing this for my answer. The main reason I chose this for my answer is because it serves the child, the family, the world better when I stop the focusing on such horrible ideas. These stories bring not only terrible images, but horrible feelings. Your energy changes. It becomes negative. Then the people you (I don’t mean you in these yous…but people in general) interact with take that energy and pass it on to the people they connect with. This does not serve the child/children you were upset about in the first place and does not serve the child or children/adults who actually come into contact with you. Did you ever have a dog? When you are sad, a dog will come to you comfort you (most animals will). It will be sad with you. It will stop bouncing around, joyfully kissing your face to just sit by your side and absorb your energy until you are feeling better. So, just thinking about energy exchange, this is a pretty big change that one creates just by dwelling on the sad feelings and bad stories, not to mention the things we say and do or don’t do when we are feeling so horribly. When I chose to believe that this was that soul’s path, then I was able to stop the negative energy from flowing and getting stronger and I was then able to start manifesting positive energy and healing for myself, other children and the planet. With positive energy, you can bring positivity and love to the people around you and they are then able to bring the same to the people around them and I believe this flow of positive energy can change things not just for yourself and the people around you but other children who might need this positivity to help them along their paths and our Earth as well.
I know that you want to help, you want to change these things and make sure they don’t happen to another little soul ever again. It might not seem like a lot right now, but there are some things you can do. You can meditate on love. You can spread love and kindness wherever you go, to whoever you talk to, you can sponsor a child and hope that your money goes to helping that child get food, you can volunteer/send money to a soup kitchen. You can buy fair trade food and be happy that the extra money you spend on those bananas help ensure that people and their children are getting a living wage for the work they do. Take solace in what you can do. Take pride in the good you are creating because you are changing your corner of the world and now the people around you are learning from you and changing their little corners too.
You are a great person, full of love and a great teacher. You have so much to offer everyone around you. I am always happy to see you here and read your thoughts and learn from you. I do not know much more about you, but understand you you are in a lot of physical pain. I will say one more thing about focusing on these things that happen in this space and time…mental pain and negativity will always feed physical pain and negativity. I say this only because I used to have much physical pain…and saw how my mental state affected my physical state. Take it easy on yourself. I am not telling you that you have to believe in what I have chosen to believe, but maybe you can find your own belief system that will help ease your mind, help you to remain positive. There is a yin and yang to everything. I believe Buddhism teaches that it is through horror that true compassion is learned and it is only then that true love may be experienced and shared. True love for people, animals, this Earth. I like to imagine a loving pink ooze (a better smelling and tasting pepto-bismal), making its way all around the universe. It doesn’t happen as fast as we might like, and doesn’t end all suffering as quickly, but this positive and loving pink ooze is slowly making its way and soon it will cover the country, the world, the Universe.
I sincerely hope this helps, John. Please know that I understand exactly how you feel and only say these things because I am now learning them as well. I hope I have not offended you by saying any of this (or the looooong amount of time it has taken me to say it!).
I wish you all the best my friend and send you much love.
Julie

Dear David and Mother Mary,
Thank you. I love and appreciate you all so very much. 🙂 Hmmm…the questions. Yes, I like to Know. I do take the time to wonder, explore and learn for myself and usually come up with the answers before I ask, but I want to know for sure if I am on the right path.
Happy Day of your Birth on Earth, David!!!
Thank you, Joanie for all your loving work.
Thank you Chapio and Lela, I love you.
With more love and gratitude each and every day,
I leave you now, so I have some time to play,
Julie

[julie]

Dear David and loving Pleiadian beings,
Thank you for your teachings on the portals, ships and light travel.
I love what you said to John about the trees walking and talking along with the animals.
I love learning about our past lives. What does it mean that I am a “Native American, part of tribes unseen?” Why did I keep “low profile?” And how did I join “tribes midway through journeys?” Do you mean that I was a light being and then decided I wanted to join a tribe and came down and did that? How did I do that? “Once, you left woods pack and found a tribe.” What is a woods pack? It is interesting that you say that I joined tribes after living alone without help or assistance. I have always wanted to do that. Go off into the woods and just live surrounded by nature, fully immersed. I still find tribes to be pretty cool.
O.K., my name Gea…Is that my soul’s name? Is that the name I always am..since the beginning of my soul’s birth?
Turkish delight, huh? I found a recipe and will make some in your honor.
My love to you and to beautiful, bright Joanie.
Until next time…
Love, love, love,
Julie

This is Dorlie 😉

Hello to Joanie and all friends, energy, and light connected!

I felt like I had my own pep rally at the end of your last response. It made me very happy and I laughed. 🙂
(I am a big smiler but not a big laugh-er)

I am proud of myself and relieved I saw my father last night and had a nice time. I did not focus in on the things that would have a few weeks ago lead me to feeling very guilty and sad. He is Okay! Even though I have hardly seen him in several weeks, he did not disintegrate, he is okay! I am so glad to be able to see that. “First Dorlie, then others”
in other good news I have lowered my sleep meds by half and am getting to sleep. I sleep much more lightly, but still I am sleeping and dreaming which is very important to me 🙂

I went to an Anxiety group meet up a few days ago. I am not sure it is a great fit for me (group leader thinking she knows more than she actually does, teensy pushy) but at the meeting I was connected to a man there, Gilbert. We stayed afterwards and talked for an hour. I felt so much concern for him and a need to help him. I recognize wanting to help “fix” him, his sadness. He is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, is depressed and so lonely. He had alternative beliefs to the group leader during our group session and I found out today he has been “booted out”. I feel so upset by this. I thought his different point of view, although a bit radical maybe so some, would be an asset in group. I want to be careful and not jump into his life knowing he is very lonely and also felt a “connection” with me. He does have an ex girlfriend he is living with, friends and career as a physical therapist.
Will he be okay?

I would like to ask for some guidance please to help me feel less scared and lost in this area…
I left my job about a month ago and my husband can not financially support us for long so I need to start looking for a job.
I am scared to work again. I don’t feel ready to go back into my profession, counselor/therapist, I am scared I will be miserable and have a breakdown. I am not even sure I will ever go back into the profession and that freaks me out! I don’t know what else to do with my life career wise and have wanted to be a “therapist” and help people for so long. It was a natural choice due to loving being there for people and people always coming to me to have someone to lean on, talk to and listen.
Now I feel distance from most people, afraid to feel afraid again. I absolutely LOVE animals and even feel estranged from dogs. (probably in connection to the scary family/home I had visited for work with very aggressive Great Danes in cages)
I know I have the option of just getting any type of job in a store or wherever but feel so overwhelmed just thinking about going online to look for openings even for a cafe. I have been praying to win the lottery so that I wont have to make any choices that will make me miserable or afraid : /
I am scared of my depression and anxiety worsening due to work.
I think about this everyday and I try to tell myself “it will be okay, I will be okay”. I am a hard worker and even if I won the lottery I know I would want to give my time working somewhere to help in some way.
The commitment is scary.
I would like to feel confidant that I can work, even as a dog walker, and that I will be emotionally okay; That work will not take over my life or ruin my life;
That I will one day find a job that “fits” and that I can feel worthwhile and be helpful, even if I make little money.

Thank you ALL for listening and consideration,
Love to you,
Dorlie

[julie]

Dear David,
I do not fear death. I know there are many who do, and it is understandable. But, I am not afraid. I know where I am going and I am not afraid. I do like my body right now. I know I am not supposed to be attached, but I would like to hang with it for a little longer before I give it up. I’d like to try Heaven in this body and then see from there. Why not? If I can go in this body and then part with it later I think that sounds good for now. I may change my mind.

I get to create, huh? I like that.
Chapio! How wonderful to meet you! Thank you for your guidance. I look forward to speaking with you…hearing you…getting to know you.

So, John and I were tribesmen together? How nice to meet you again, John (Thank you again, so much for your posts and love< I am always happy to see you here)! It is interesting that we both struck animals with arrows as John seems very conscious of his treatment/intake of animals (as am I). Was I in many tribes? I am very drawn to them. Especially Native Americans. I am very connected to my Native American ancestry even though it does not make up most of my "blood" it seems to be one of the strongest influences in my being.

Thank you, Joanie for all of your hard work.
Love,
Julisa

[julie]

Thank you for teaching us about about the “life support vehicles”. I am so grateful to you for the help you have given me both in words and with this vehicle.

You talk of the shows everywhere. I am delighted. I can’t wait to see them and you. Once more question…you talk of the dark ships. Do they come too?

O.K. This is all for now…I am really tired. Thank you for your words, your love, and your guidance for myself, my sister and all who seek it as well.
Thank you Miss Joanie Boboanie. xoxo
More and more love to all of you.
Sweet Dreams. Until Next time…
Julisa

Hello This is Dorlie
by the way I have tried several times to register under my own name and continue to have errors but will continue to try so I will not confuse things :/
(thank you Julie!)

Thank you so much Joanie, and David, and so much THANKS to you John.
I am so moved and impressed of how you cared for your mother. I pray and work toward strength to even give positive time to my father and not feel drained (and sad).

Therapy is uncovering many interesting things, including a new feeling of being cross with my father for past and current selfishness. I belive the emotions, memories and awareness are a process I need to go through to come out better prepared, confidant and giving on the other side.
Julie my sister has been a HUGE monumental help for becoming aware of my guilt and anger and letting me know things and I am “okay”.
I love you so much Jul.
I am on anxiety/depression medication and sleep meds. I plan to begin to come off the sleep meds gradually sometime soon.
I continue to struggle daily but instead of from a deep dark hole I am more like standing on the ground that at times will tremble. I get a little scared about the road ahead but know there are hands near by that I can reach out to when I want to go into the fetal position. And I am also trying to accept it is okay to feel difficult feelings for them to be able to pass on through.
I close my eyes and imagine crystals on and around me 🙂 I love this image, thank you Joanie and friends.
You are all so AMAZING and I tearfully (in gratitude) want to give you all a big tight hug.
Thank you so much for being here for me.
I continue on my journey trying to enjoy and appreciate more around me. I work toward holding my hand out for my dad to take and to point out the beautiful things to him too (without trying to carry all his weight)
If I should trip and fall I will try not to punish myself.
Practice makes better, right?
Lots and lots of love,
Dorlie
