Hello! This is Cynthia Sue Larson with ReaityShifters dot com
talking with you today about mastering the ethics of reality shifts.
I've got a great quote for you!
This one says, "But all lost things
are in the angels' keeping, Love."
That quote is by Helen Hunt Jackson.
I love the way she captures the feeling that when you lose something
it's not really necessarily gone.
It's in someone's care, even if you can't see who's care it's in.
Which brings us
into the ethics
of reality shifts.
What do we do
when we find something
that isn't ours, or it wasn't until we found it?
In the case of finding money or a
diamond ring on the street,
we know that the right thing to do would be to take good care of it until we
can contact the rightful owner.
In an article recently posted in the San Francisco
Chronicle,
"The Murky Ethics of Found Money,"
the author
proposes the question that
maybe sometimes, "found money can become
the perfect missing piece to whatever moral puzzle you've constructed
in your own mind."
What an amazing quote.
What if we find something, and rather than returning it to the rightful owner we feel like,
"Well, I need this money right now."
"It's mine."
That's convenient to do, but it may not be the right thing to do.
Chances are we're going to feel a lot better
if we do the right thing.
That's even true when things come to us at times when
obviously nobody put it there. I've described
such an incident in my book,
"RealityShifters Guide to High Energy Money."
What I describe is a time my daughters and I went to a Mexican
restaurant to have dinner.
We were there for a little while, and had our meal. I wanted to pay the waitress a cash tip
rather than put everything on the credit card,
but I didn't have enough
one-dollar bills. I didn't have any at all. I checked my wallet; there was nothing in there.
So I asked my daughters,
"Should I check again?" They said, "Yes!"
So I opened up my wallet again,
looked inside,
and they was a one dollar bill!
I was so amazed!
So I shut it again, and I conspiratorially asked
my daughter who was sitting right next to me,
"Should we check again?"
and she said, "YES!"
So I opened my wallet up again, and there was another one dollar bill.
We kept doing that for
as many dollar bills as I needed for that tip.
And the beautiful thing here was that obviously this money was earmarked
for that waitress's tip.
So it was clear right from the beginning
that this isn't something like finder's keepers;
this is finder's sharers.
When we get into that attitude of
forgiving others and not seeing and holding grudges with people
even if we have never met them, but just because for some reason we don't like
the way they're complaining or whining or
have the "wrong" politics or religion.
What if we can look past all of that, including all of the things that they
have done that are so
terrible and evil in the past, and look right past that
and do the right thing anyway.
This is the realm of the angels, and that's why I love that quote so much, because we can
aspire toward these
high ethical
ideals.
Some of us are working very hard to get there.
For those who haven't even thought about it, that's why I'm mentioning this today.
I'd also like to share with you something amazing. There is a book that
Dr. Larry Dossey wrote,
and it's called, "Be Careful What You Wish For:
You Just Might Get It."
Of course, most of us will think, "What's wrong with that?"
Sometimes when we wish for something, and it isn't really for
everyone's best interest, and
in fact, we're
wishing evil on someone because we think
erroneously that
this is a "Win-Lose" universe.
I don't see it that way, by the way.
I don't believe that just because this one person is
winning, someone else must lose--
that we have to claw our way to the top. I don't believe in that.
I really believe in "Win-Win."
That's what I'm all about. I believe that's how the universe works too,
when we open our hearts and our minds to that possibility.
So what does that mean in real life? It means when
you are wishing for somebody to do well,
wish for everybody to do well.
Not just
the person that you're rooting for at the expense of everyone else.
Because wonderful things can happen when we keep asking, "How good can it get?"
Also I've
got some great books to share with you.
One of them is, "The Forbidden Archaeologist." This book is written by Michael Cremo
and he is indeed
a renegade. He is really out there!
I love what he's saying.
He's basically saying if we have some evidence that apparently
there are things like human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints,
and they seem to be legitimate.
There are things like human remains
in California that go back
millions of years.
They are down below
rock and there's no way they could have gotten there, along with some pretty
advanced,
amazing things that humans obviously made themselves.
These kinds of artifacts:
bones, footprints,
even shoes have been found millions of years back in time
much farther than anyone usually
believes that humans walked the Earth.
Michael Cremo challenges us to ask
what's really going on
and why are we throwing out the
baby with the bath water? Why throw out all the facts
just because they don't fit existing theories.
That's a great question, and a great book.
Another great book is "Thomas Berry, Dreamer of the Earth."
I've got to say, "Wow, wow, wow!" I love this book because I love nature!
I'm sure you can tell, because I do my videos here. I'm outside in the sunshine
with the trees and the birds.
Thomas Berry was a man after my own heart.
He is sometimes
called the "Father of Environmentalism"
and it's for very good reason, because he was
thinking way outside of
the so-called box.
This is what we all need to do, so that we don't make the mistake
of trying to solve a problem when we're totally trapped inside of it.
What Thomas Berry was suggesting
is listen to the Earth.
Listen to the trees. Listen to the grass...
to the wind... to the animals... to the birds.
Really get in tune with it.
Yes, this does get into a kind of indigenous mindset.
It's very different
than typical western
mindsets, certainly of scientists.
It's certainly what we need to do now
in order to be working and dreaming at one with the Earth.
All of the things I've talked about today-- you can find them on my website
This is the May 2011 issue of Reality Shifters
and the links to
my book
and also the article that I mention about
the murky ethics of finding money,
"High Energy Money," and other books
including the book that I mentioned by Larry Dossey-- they're all there.
As well as lots of fabulous reality shift stories
that I think you're going to really love,
a wonderful award-winning website, New Consciousness Review,
and lots and lots of other things including questions and answers.
I hope you'll check it out
and there are some links to radio interviews I've done recently about high-energy
money.
If you're interested in finding out more
and you'd like to see what
that's all about,
check that out. Those links are right there
on that web page as well http://http://www.realityshifters.com/pages/archives/may11.html
Until next time, keep asking how good can it get?
