<b><br /></b>
<b>The Impact of the Imagination</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"Most people suffer. I witness this suffering regularly in my work as a psychotherapist. What may surprise you is the source of their suffering. Most people think the source of their suffering is someone or something out there in the world - the behaviour of family or colleagues, or the unfortunate events of life. Yet the cause of suffering is from within. Suffering is a result of the stories people tell themselves.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Research reveals that the average person thinks nine times as many negative thoughts as positive thoughts; tells themselves nine times as many negative stories as positive stories. Research also tells us the human body does not distinguish between a real event and an imagined event. Therefore, when we tell ourselves a negative story or think a negative thought, our bodies respond as if these imaginings are real. Medical researchers have discovered that many of us think ourselves sick.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"I've had a very difficult life. Fortunately, most of it didn't happen."Mark Twain</b><br />
<b>What does this mean for us? It means we need to be careful with the kind of stories we tell ourselves. We need to be vigilant in monitoring the kind of thoughts we imagine and the images we expose ourselves to. Television, radio, and newspapers have a profound impact on us. We should treat them with the same degree of caution we would any powerful or toxic substance.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When confronted with life's challenges, it is important to consider the various possibilities in order to develop appropriate responses. However, if one becomes immersed in their negative imaginings, they will suffer greatly because of these imaginings. I've learned we can manage life. What we can't manage is our imagination about what might happen because our imaginations don't actually exist.</b><br />
<b>To experience peace and joy at home and at work it is important to understand the impact of our imagination on our day-to-day experience. If we want to be happy and healthy we need to take responsibility for the stories we tell ourselves and allow to be told to us.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Use your imagination constructively and creatively. Imagine the kind of outcomes you would like to occur. See in your mind's eye what success looks and feels like. One of the core messages contained in 'The Secret' was the tremendous power of the imagination. Einstein understood the importance of imagination. He declared, "Imagination is more important than knowledge". We can move from fear and anger to peace and joy simply by using our imagination positively. Our imagination is a powerful tool. Use it with care."</b><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">Everything that you feel, hear, touch, smell is an illusion.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">Everything that your eyes behold, that you believe is so important, is an illusion.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">Do not take anything seriously. Turn within, do not react.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">The turmoil, the chaos that appears to be in this world,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">It is not the truth. It is not Reality. It is something that comes and goes.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">This too shall pass. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.449999809265137px;">Reality is eternal. It is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness and self control and all else is fleeting, and temporary.</span></span><br />

Happy New Year.<br />
The selling off of most of our possessions to live in an RV in about 3 years is going ok. I've sold almost all of my Knitting machine stuff. I still have a little yarn and a few needles to get rid of and some books.<br />
I sold my Janome 300E and all of the supplies, the freezer, bread machine, some books, my desk top computer, my Silhouette SD cutting machine and some of the supplies and some nail polish are gone. I never realized how much STUFF I had.<br />
I still have a lot of nail polish, a lot of quilting, knitting and cook books. I will have a ton of quilting supplies once I get time to go through it all.<br />
It is very freeing and yet weird to get rid of my goodies. :)<br />Have a wonderful New Year,<br />
Susie<br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Top Ten Rules for Being Human</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule One -</strong> <em>You will receive a body. Whether you love it or hate it, it's yours for life, so accept it. What counts is what's inside.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Two -</strong> <em>You will be presented with lessons. Life is a constant learning experience, which every day provides opportunities for you to learn more. These lessons are specific to you, and learning them 'is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and relevance of your own life'.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Three -</strong> <em>There are no mistakes, only lessons. Your development towards wisdom is a process of experimentation, trial and error, so it's inevitable things will not always go to plan or turn out how you'd want. Compassion is the remedy for harsh judgment - of ourselves and others. Forgiveness is not only divine - it's also 'the act of erasing an emotional debt'. Behaving ethically, with integrity, and with humour - especially the ability to laugh at yourself and your own mishaps - are central to the perspective that 'mistakes' are simply lessons we must learn.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Four -</strong> <em>The lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons repeat until learned. What manifest as problems and challenges, irritations and frustrations are more lessons - they will repeat until you see them as such and learn from them. Your own awareness and your ability to change are requisites of executing this rule. Also fundamental is the acceptance that you are not a victim of fate or circumstance - 'causality' must be acknowledged; that is to say: things happen to you because of how you are and what you do. To blame anyone or anything else for your misfortunes is an escape and a denial; you yourself are responsible for you, and what happens to you. Patience is required - change doesn't happen overnight, so give change time to happen.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Five -</strong> <em>Learning does not end. While you are alive there are always lessons to be learned. Surrender to the 'rhythm of life', don't struggle against it. Commit to the process of constant learning and change - be humble enough to always acknowledge your own weaknesses, and be flexible enough to adapt from what you may be accustomed to, because rigidity will deny you the freedom of new possibilities.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Six -</strong> <em>"There" is no better than "here". The other side of the hill may be greener than your own, but being there is not the key to endless happiness. Be grateful for and enjoy what you have, and where you are on your journey. Appreciate the abundance of what's good in your life, rather than measure and amass things that do not actually lead to happiness. Living in the present helps you attain peace.</em></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Seven -</strong> <em>Others are only mirrors of you. You love or hate something about another person according to what love or hate about yourself. Be tolerant; accept others as they are, and strive for clarity of self-awareness; strive to truly understand and have an objective perception of your own self, your thoughts and feelings. Negative experiences are opportunities to heal the wounds that you carry. Support others, and by doing so you support yourself. Where you are unable to support others it is a sign that you are not adequately attending to your own needs.</em></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Eight -</strong> <em>What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. Take responsibility for yourself. Learn to let go when you cannot change things. Don't get angry about things - bitter memories clutter your mind. Courage resides in all of us - use it when you need to do what's right for you. We all possess a strong natural power and adventurous spirit, which you should draw on to embrace what lies ahead.</em></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Nine -</strong> <em>Your answers lie inside of you. Trust your instincts and your innermost feelings, whether you hear them as a little voice or a flash of inspiration. Listen to feelings as well as sounds. Look, listen, and trust. Draw on your natural inspiration</em>.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;">
<strong>Rule Ten -</strong> <em>You will forget all this at birth. We are all born with all of these capabilities - our early experiences lead us into a physical world, away from our spiritual selves, so that we become doubtful, cynical and lacking belief and confidence. The ten Rules are not commandments, they are universal truths that apply to us all. When you lose your way, call upon them. Have faith in the strength of your spirit. Aspire to be wise - wisdom the ultimate path of your life, and it knows no limits other than those you impose on yourself.</em></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The Test: A Tool of Inquiry by Benjamin Smythe</span><br />
Here is something I developed a year ago, inspired by The Work of Byron Katie, that I<br />
use to end stress in my life. I notice there is always a desire running in my experience. I notice I can change it. Wow. While the Work is about investigating what happens when thoughts are believed, the Test is about noticing this constant wishing power, and using it intelligently.<br />
The exercise is based on the following:<br />
1. I am the one wishing. I can change my wish.<br />
2. Desires and emotions are linked. What I am wishing for directly creates my emotional experience.<br />
3. Reality is the measure of what is actually happening, obviously.<br />
All I do is get out a piece of paper and answer the following questions.<br />
1. What is my wish?<br />
Example: I wish my shoulder didn't hurt.<br />
2. What is Reality?<br />
Ex: My shoulder hurts.<br />
3. How do I feel when my wish doesn't match Reality?<br />
Ex: I feel bummed out. I imagine it getting worse. I wonder how it will affect my day.<br />
4. How would I feel if I could wish for what Reality is?<br />
Ex: "I wish my shoulder hurt."<br />
I laugh, because it does. I laugh because I immediately get my wish. I laugh because it is absurd,and yet, in the absurdity of it, there is no stress or or suffering.<br />
In the irony of what appears to be an insane wish, there is a flower that blooms. I have no idea why, and I am in love with the clarity it brings.<br />
Notes:<br />
* I cannot fake a wish. I know when I am lying to myself. For question #4, I have to actually<br />
direct the wishing power at Reality. If I can't, then I get what I already had.<br />
* A friend said, "Yeah...but what if I don't wish my shoulder hurt? Aren't I just lying to myself?" Each wish leads to a particular emotional experience. The only question I find relevant is, "What is this wish getting me?"<br />
* What I continue to learn from The Test is if I don't want the emotional experience I am having I can change my desires and instantly be uplifted. I am still shocked The Test actually works. It is a delight everytime I do it and feel the freedom bubble up from below when I wish for Reality and Wham-O, baby!!! Here it is. Amazing.<br />
* I let the experience of feeling what happens with question #4 be the conclusion. You will <span style="background-color: white;">notice what you did, and notice you did it, or you won't.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;">(I just call this 'accepting what is because it is what is ... in another word "reality". It doesn't mean you can't take steps to change it but most often I find that accepting what is doesn't hurt me, change me, or affect me unless "I" let it.)</span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went for a Harley ride today and stopped in to see our son Andy, our daughter in law Melissa and grandson Mason in Constantia, NY! We visited for a while and Melissa was feeling sort of poorly.
:) We took off and went to North Syracuse for lunch at Applebee's and Andy called about 12:10 pm and said they were going to the hospital that her contractions were getting
close and consistent. We got there about 1:10 pm and he was born at 3:10 pm. Quick
eh? He was 7lbs. 1 ounce!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is such a sweet kid.<br />
Love Carter James Simser so much. :)</div>

That mind is always in
fear, fear of losing it's position, it's honor, it's place. <br />
That mind is
constantly fighting reality. <br />
It never accepts what comes in life as it
always wants what IT wants. <br />
The ego mind is not only a self centered life
but a life filled with defending what is supposedly theirs. <br />
The higher mind
is one of acceptance, one of peace and freedom. All that comes is exactly WHAT
IS SUPPOSE to come.<br />
It is life. The higher mind accepts what is and goes
from there doing and being what it thinks best but doesn't have the defenses of
fear and anger.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span>Susiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14634678963382222888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870166569379384991.post-73157406809400707412012-05-14T05:57:00.000-04:002012-05-14T05:58:30.951-04:00Mother's Day surprise....<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband took me on a secret Harley ride on Saturday. It was an awesome place to eat a few hours from our house in Remsen, NY. Here is their website: <a href="http://www.thesoda-fountain.com/">http://www.thesoda-fountain.com/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so cool. The atmosphere being "the fifties" was so awesome. The music was neat and so was the food. If you are ever in the area, stop by.</div>

Her vet appointment was today. She was a perfect girl. Yes, she is a she. She had her <br />
shots, worming and guess what? She is already spayed. </div><div>The vet figured she was around a year or a year and a half. </div><div>She weighs 8 lbs 2 ounces. <br />
I don't get why someone would let her be a stray.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've seen it and wondered about it. My next door neighbor asked me to put food out for it on her ramp while she was gone for 5 days so I said sure.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband went to put food out this morning and she was already there waiting. He petted her and she seemed nice and said I should go look at her so I did. She let me pet her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_20T8LBqwyo/T39BWBejmJI/AAAAAAAADYI/vnPKpy3PSI8/s1600/100_6267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_20T8LBqwyo/T39BWBejmJI/AAAAAAAADYI/vnPKpy3PSI8/s400/100_6267.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A bit later I took the cat food bag and shook it outside my door and she came running.
