I don't know what she is talking. She seems a bit angry, but not really. She keeps uttering cute mumbles. When a baby 骂骂咧咧, but not crying, it's always so adorable. She has big bright eyes, curly eyelashes, but not that much hair temporarily like her older brother when he was little. She is robust, happy, and funny. She loves spending time outdoors just like her father. She loves her brother best, and every time she sees him, even just his picture, she would scream with joy. She smells really good with unique scent of milk and baby cream. She becomes taller and heavier and so now I can only hold her for about 20 minutes when we go out. It's a good thing that soon she would walk by herself. She is loved dearly by so many people. She brings out love and pleasure from a lot of adults around her.
I keep on learning new Chinese idioms. And usually a four-character idiom contains a poetic story, such as 松枝挂剑/fastening the sword to the pine tree. Two friends get together, drinking and talking. One was in love with the other's sword, he didn't feel right to talk about this, but the other noticed and decided that he would give his friend the sword as soon as he went back after the duty. Before that this sword still had its important purpose. They separated, and as the one owning the sword came back, his friend had already passed away. He visited his grave and fastened the sword to the pine tree standing next to the gravestone, because long ago he had already given it to him in his heart.
《史记·吴太伯世家》:“季札之初使,北过徐君。徐君好季札剑,口弗敢言。季札心知之,为使上国,未献。还至徐,徐君已死。于是乃解其宝剑,系之徐君冢树而去。从者曰:‘徐君已死,尚谁予乎?’季子曰:‘不然。始吾心已许之,岂以死倍吾心哉!’”
Rampage of appreciation or finding positive aspects of people and things, the key is always: "I like..."
I watched a short drama talking about being an honest property agent. The main characters are trying their best to be aligned property agents. Being wonderful match makers for their customers who want to have nice houses. I like their intentions. I like their attitudes toward their work. I like their relationships as colleagues. They work together to solve problems. They speak nicely to each other. They would remind and encourage. And I like the actor who playing the transforming property agent and so last night, I found a lot of his dramas and stored them in the netdisc app and therefore I can watch them anytime I want. I like that feeling of eagerness.

Appreciation of My Life
Re: Appreciation of My Life
I understand what Abe mean in the conversation I posted days ago. About the walking-together-for-some-time thing. When people who share the same interests or have experienced something together meet, it's possible they can have unique interactions like understanding something in a flash without communicating with each other.
I was watching a detective drama last night and when a name came up on the screen, I immediately knew and smiled. It's the character the actor played on another drama and because lots of audiences of this drama had watched that drama before, so when this name appeared, people immediately knew and began talking about him on the screen. And sometimes funny nicknames would show up and we would know immediately because lots of us had watched hilarious fan-made mvs of these famous characters. It's like a short-charactered name could at the same time put a big smile on the faces of a lot of audiences. Some funny auidiences then would say something to add the fun. We live separately, not knowing each other in reality, but because of the same interest of watching TV series, this kind of interesting things could happen on the Internet.
While in reality, when in alignment, family members could have a lot of fun just remembering the past and seeing it from now positive perspectives. We could tease each other because of our naive and silly behaviors when we were young.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
My abundance:
I like sunny winter days and I like walking in the warm sunlight.
I am now used to writing on my phone. I like walking into a cafe, order a coffee and start exploring. And then I would spend 1 to 2 hours writing the novel. And during the whole process, I am fully focused, vivid images coming up in my mind's eye, and I get replenished and energized further. I use the writing to explore desired human interactions. The more I do so, the more I understand the importance of newness and creativity. The old writings soon would lose its interest to me and if I want to have the same kind of good feelings, I must write new contents. It's a never-ending, creative journey. And it's an activity that can easily put me in a long, focused state and in that state, the outside sounds rarely bother me. It's interesting! When I feel like learning Chinese idioms, often the interest would last 30 minutes at a time, but writing would always last more than one hour.
I am continually guided to enhance my interest in and understanding of Source's views on certain life subjects. Yesterday, I might be interested in human laws and regulations. Today, I may get curious about relationships. I asked somebody to speak nicely and he refused and felt annoyed. I didn't regret, but I knew that I was lazy and wanted to directly change others in order for me to feel better. Good to remember again the importance of unconditional alignment. Yeah! I did that. I attracted the exprience of somebody speaking in an unpleasant tone. As life caused me to want to know more, to be curious and interested and even passionate, the listening would bring me strong resonance. I like that feeling. And I wanted to clearly hear every word Abe and Bashar say. After that, I would deliberately memorize what they have said. I would repeat beneficial thoughts in my mind:
~ My Inner Being's guidance is always the most beneficial guidance among all guidance existing. I like following my inner guidance, seeing it as the no.1 guidance. I would like to act upon my aligned inspiration/impulse immediately no matter how trivial or unrelated it seems to be. Because it is always the most beneficial suggestion I can get now.
~ How to live a fulfilling life as much as I can? It can be very simple. Thinking the best-feeling thought or doing the best feeling thing now. Acting upon the aligned inspiration or impulse if there is one. If not, just do the thing that feels best now until it loses it juices or interst to me. And then pick the next best-feeling thing to do which includes thinking the best feeling thought or doing an interesting Abe process, again until it loses its juices or interest.
~I create every bit of my life. I rendezvous with the aspect of other people because of my point of attraction. I like taking full responsibility for all of my creation. I like remembering that pushing against any person or anything no matter how justified I am, does me no good. I don't want to push against any one or any thing. I like getting better and better at effective pivoting. I like getting better and better at step 5. And recently, contrast in my life shows me what I truly desire:
!!! I like minding my business more. I like getting clearer about what I desire when I get onto social media. I like remembering and focusing upon the absolute abundance of all of us. I like decreasing the lackfulness consciousness. I like reminding myself that all is about personal alignment. No one can acutally deprive other people of their abundance. Only lackful consciouness would think that others' gaining lessens what I can get. The pie is never limited in essence. The pie actually is continually expanding to great great extent in Reality. I don't need to make it complicated; when lackful thought comes up again, I can just remind myself, "Hey! It's not my Inner Being's thought." And then I can shift my focus. I can let that old thought go and often it just subsides.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
I'm so happy you share you work here on the forum, Jenny.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
I am so glad hearing this. I like writing here--it immediately put me in a focused, deliberate place to think about what benefits me. And I have been combining Abe teachings and Bashar teachings to live as fully as I can. I am glad that they are so consistent about the essence of their teachings, never compromising, so I have to take full responsibility for my life, knowing that I am never a victim. Listening to them keeps me remembering how the Universe works and the importance of deliberately feeling good no matter what, especially I would go to the social mdia which can easily put people in a messy state of being.spiritualcookie wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2024 11:29 am
