Presence

PRESENCE

WOW. One of the synonyms for presence is charisma and aura

How about I thought that was so interesting. When you do a small study of aura, you find that that's like your electromagnetic field that you emanate. So that's awesome. We all have one unless you have or are crossing over to the other side….then its like black. My daughter can see colors around people and I ask her all the time what color people are and such.

P

resence. Having come from the church, we speak on the 'presence of the lord' and all that. We have songs about it. One is- in your presence there is fullness of joy- which is a psalm. There are so many songs about the secret place, the high place, and the presence of the lord or the presence of god. And as a dancer and a singer, I enjoyed them all. I sang and danced to the lot of them.

L

ast wk I spoke about practicing the presence of god being basically meditation. In the church all of the elements are there or you're taught those elements.

A typical service, speaking of rituals, is like this, you come in and –well, sorry a modern service now is like this…lol you come in and the praise and worship team gets up and sing. Depending on how elaborate or modern the church is they may also have dancers, which to me add a very special time for the people. Being as I was in both auxiliaries I'm quite familiar. So the song and dance wld go forth or just the song if there is no dance ministry. Then nowadays they take up the offering and tithes, I guess the music is supposed to make you tht generous. Then the speaker wld come forth. O yea, if there is anything else, announcements and such that's before the speaker and then he/she wld get up. Well at the beginning of all services, there is generally a song. Why? Because that's called invoking the presence of god. Or inviting him in the room. Music  is so special. And trust and believe there is a difference from an all white congregation and an all black congregation. Skill level makes a difference too. They have conference with pastors and music leaders about this. They teach that your music dept can either assist or kill your ministry. If its dead, not much happening. But even if the msg from the leader is garbage, if the music dept is on, then your church is banging…lol

Well now lets go to your private time. I spoke last wk about one of my past mentors, Arlette Willis. She basically displayed to me a very special relationship with self. Or what she sees as the holy spirit or god or whatever. I can't knock it because she is and her husband both are empaths or what the church calls prophetic or others say psychic. She really does put the personal work in and that's what makes her special to a lot of us. When she sings she shares her special relationship with everyone and she doesn't scream and holler like we're used to others. She taught me how to practice being quiet. Much appreciated.

In my private time and even before I met Arlette, I wld just get up and sing a song and dance in what I wld call before the lord. Then I wld have my journal and write. It was great. I wld practice the presence by not talking. Instead of begging for things and asking for things, I wld be grateful for what I wld like to see-which is calling things into existence.  And as a Christian I wld bring it all to the cross…so much to deal with here.

T

he problem I kept having as a lot of Christians and people in general because of church backgrnds and all is that we are constantly relying on something and someone outside of us. We are generally psychologically dependent. We are not looking w/in for all of our answers intentionally. This is where my change has happened. I wld cry because of what I perceived to be the spirit of god wldnt be felt and I felt like I was wrong or wasting my time when  in reality I was with me forever. When I wld sit up late night lying on the floor and the bed just talking to myself and calling it the spirit of god I was communing with the spirit of self. And that's not bad either. I saw shit I did to people that was wrong and also how I perceived shit people did to me. Those where my relaxed times. As a child, and I didn't grow up in the church, I wld do that all the time. I loved myself before I became influenced by others outside of me.

This is the sad thing that we need to save our children from. Teaching our children that what they need and answers they seek as they get older and more and more autonomous is w/in and that they don't have to be dependent on someone or thing to come and 'save' them. It's time to teach our children to respect others and their decisions but to trust that voice that tells them the right thing. For the right thing will always come if we listen. I know personally because every time I avoided that voice as a child, I got in fights and troubles out of this world…lol. Lets teach our children the universal laws and responsibility. One thing I do with my daughter is one time she said she was scared, I tld her to put her hand over her heart and act like she was taking something out of it and then rub it all over her body. That was her courage that's in her heart at all times. When we break out of the box then we can guide our children effectively. Understand that when we dance and sing that we are invoking the energies inside us and around us. And ur sincerity and intention as well as our imagination is very important. See, in some of the christian and gospel songs there is instruction and stories. There's the stories of jesus helping and all that. So that puts you in a trance…the problem with that is the psychological thing where jesus is one set color and god is well a man…lol. So take it where you want but be responsible. Presence. People come to those places because they felt a 'presence'. The presence is everyone's focused energies going in together…lol
