A Quest For Truth

2011-09-29T15:53:00.002-04:00

If I were to tell you that your reality can change. That the way you live life has an alternate state. What would you think. If I were to tell you that when Jesus talked about moving mountains that he was actually talking about literally moving mountains what would you think?
Does the idea excite you? Or do you view that as some sort of crazy idealistic way of looking at our world? DO you dismiss the notion that you can change the reality that you are living in?

The answers to these questions will impact your life.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed, Abraham, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, etc have been followed studied, and idealized through out centuries?
They brought an energy to our beings that opened us up to a truth that we so often disregard. The TRUTH that we can change. That if "we" as a people come together that we can shape the lives of not just ourselves but of the very fabric of how we live. That there really is a hope for the Kingdom of Heaven to reign here on earth.
There are many people who have descended on to earth not to just teach us lesson's but to energetically open up our own force-field to a new vibration that opens up the human limitless possibility. The energetic part of ourselves that we call our soul, spirit, oneness. The energetic part that is interlinked between all living things, human, to plant, to animal, to earth.
They bring forth the understanding that we all are one and effect the other.
That knowledge alone should shape the way you treat act and talk to one another, human or not.

If you realized that every time you are mad at someone you are throwing anger at yourself, that every time you gossip, you are gossiping about yourself, that every time you are hurtful, you are hurting yourself. That every time you kill something you are killing a part of yourself.
Why do you think the golden rule amongst ALL religions and spirituality is "Do unto Others as you would do to yourself". It is not just so that you will be nice to one another, but it so that you can understand the interconnectedness of us all.

Why do we have a forgiving God? Because with out forgiveness there is no life. Limitless possibilities invites the notion that there is no way to ever be wrong, because you can always change the course of action you take. However to open yourself up to limitless, means you need to open yourself up to undieing forgiveness. This is the corner stone of Christianity. All your sins will be forgiven. Not because you are sinful, but because in order to receive the gifts that God has bestowed upon you you need to figure out how to unbound yourself from limitations. What limits us the most?
Conditions.
How can we have have no conditions?
Learn to forgive.

Dear God, of everlasting Love, teach me to Love as you Love, be with me always and forever as we walk in eternity hand in hand
Amen

Aligment for Mainfestation

2011-09-04T12:25:00.001-04:00

What are you manifesting right now?
What is going on in your life?, where is your heart centered?, where are your actions stemming from? How does your perecption and judgement of others and yourself reflect what it is truly in your heart?
I was faced with these questions recently.
Sometimes when we get rapped up in life's drama's we can forget to center ourselves and align with what is really important. When I say this I want you to think deep into the core of your soul.
What is it that you need to feed your spirit? When is it that you are at peace within? Does the answer to these questions match what you have been gauging your self worth on?

When you ask most people what is truly important in their lives they will normally reply with answers like, Family, Peace, God, etc. All great and true answers, but when you ask how they gauge their self worth or success in life, those same people will have answers about how far they have gotten in their career, or hold the judgments of others as truths, maybe it will be about money or about how many places they have been around the world. I always find it funny that we all know in our hearts what is truly important, yet we don't seem to allow that to really be our number one priority. We seem to look for approval and acceptance from society around us.
When our desires and our gauges do not coincide, it is very hard for true manifestation of the Spirit to enter our hearts and align our souls to Love and Truth.
Today I want you to realign your gauge of what you find important in life.
Today I want you to look and be aware of every thought, action and words that you are putting out and see if they align you to a place of love and peace.
In order to manifest what is for your greatest and highest good, you first must be aware of what you are putting out there.
To be at peace is a choice. To be loved is a choice. To be with God is a choice. What are you choosing?

What do you do when your cup is empty?

2011-06-15T19:19:00.004-04:00

What do you do when your cup is empty? Have you ever just felt, like there is not much left for you to give. You feel tapped, used and abused. I have been there. Every now and again I get there again. I always say that when I start not liking my work is when I need a break. I am always reminded of what I was taught as a child, "be a happy giver". I find that to be my gauge of what is going on inside of myself. When I am not a happy giver, means that I need to fill my cup back up. I find to often do we look to the outside of ourselves to try to fill up our own spirits.
Sometimes it is best to stop. To look within with an honest eye, to see that this is your opportunity, to fill your cup back up with what you know you are. With love. To come from a place of love. Remember that love has no boundaries, no rules to follow, no right or wrong. It is a limitless place of abundance and peace. It doesn't even have a cup to be full or to be empty. It just is.
Sometimes when our cup feels empty, we have to remember that there really isn't a cup at all. That you can step back into a place of peace a place of passion and a place where you can just be. You do have the choice to sit, be still and breathe. There is no future, there is no past, just this moment. Center yourself into what truly matters. Your connection to that pure source of love. It is not asking anything of you, just to acknowledge the presence around you.
I remember one of the lessons that I am still learning is "God never asks you to be perfect, just faithful". It is that phrase that often times brings me back into how I have come to know the creator.
Know that you are not alone. "Be still and know that I am God", Be Still an know that I am Love.

With much Love to you
Janine

Where ever You Go

2011-05-26T13:04:00.002-04:00

It really does not matter what you do, where you go, how you do it. You are never alone, you are never with out guidance or love. There are no rules to unconditional. Do you really think that the ultimate creator can ever leave you? It just isn't possible. The only distance between what is truth and what you perceive to be true, is when you allow parameters upon an infinite abyss. Perception is just a slice of Truth, it does not incorporate the full story.
Give yourself the freedom to be.

A call For Change

2011-05-03T09:39:00.002-04:00

I was watching a bugs life with my son the other day. There is a part of the movie where the head grasshopper is explaining to his army that if the ants knew the power they had in numbers that they would never be able to be controlled again.
We are the ants. If we you knew what power we would have if we the people would unite, changing the world would not be idealistic, but a reality. Yesterday we received word that Osama Bin LAden was hunted down and killed. As people crowed the streets with praise and celebration, I sat back and thought, am I the only one who feels as if we failed. Are we any better than them? An eye for an eye and everyone is blind. Is this the type of world you would like to live in? A continuation of fear and hate?
Could we have reacted differently? could we have owned our own responsibility in creating Bin Laden in the first place, and if we did, what would that mean for us?
I would like to start to change the pattern of history. I would like to see just once that a country can react and lead a nation with justice, instead of lead a nation into a bigger target. I would like to see a leader that is a servant to it's people instead of a servant to it's leader, or in our case big companies.
What would this world look like if we the people united together for just one day and all decided to shut down our own nation and not drive our cars and trucks. What message to the world and to ourselves that may make. A day of rest for an entire nation. Are we that afraid of change, that we are unable to overlook differences in order to manifest a different way of life?

I ask you, at what point are you going to be inspired enough to be part of change?

Awakening

2011-05-01T13:29:00.003-04:00

I stand with my feet on the ground and my hands towards the heavens
I say Thank You!
I pray today;
That I see my own value and the value of all those around me
I accept my gifts with joy and excitement
I release all my fears and worries
I AM free
I AM at peace
I see the signs every where I turn.

Dear God as I awake today, have my eyes see as you see, place my feet where you would like me to walk, have my words come directly from you, and always align my heart with yours
Thank YOU!
Amen

The Energy Of Holy Week

2011-04-18T13:57:00.001-04:00

We have entered Holy Week. I have found through my own Spiritual and Energetic Journey some over all consistencies of the energy of the Universe that effects us all.

We are all effected by each other, and even if we do not hold the same belief systems as others, it does not evade us from picking up and absorbing the energy that is around. That is why I write this article.

Holy week is a HUGE week for many across the entire world. Millions of people are either getting ready for the Jewish Holiday Passover, or the Christian Holiday of Easter. The energetic Theme of the week is about, struggle, strife, loss of faith, only to be reborn, risen up and Guided.

This is something to be conscious of. That is powerful energy!

Last night I sat on the couch with my husband, flipping through the TV channels only to find us landing on Mel Gibson's "The Passion". So we watched, this gory depiction of Christ's last week in physical form. Besides, the fact that the movie was biblically inaccurate many times and seemed extremely masochistic of the hours of brutality. I was even more angry, that this is what many people are attaching their energy too at this time of year. Pain, suffering, abandonment. What was even more infuriating was that the movie stopped, just after the death. It failed to tell what the real story is about! It failed to convey the beauty of resurrection, rebirth, and LIFE! In the Jewish religion, much emphasis is put on the slavery and oppression of the Jews, again the suffering and brutality. However the real celebration was about Gods grace and Love of it's people. Our society loves to put emphasis on the drama, and fear of situations. I ask us this week to rise above the fear, and attach ourselves to the real message of spring, of these religions, of our own human soul. The real message; You are never alone, It is time to emerge out of our hibernation of winter into new LIFE, new realizations. It is time to shed those limiting aspects of yourself and invite the Divine in. It is time to understand eternity.

I write this, so that you can be aware of your own emotions these last few weeks, and I am giving you another universal way to look at your own situation. If you have been personally feeling like everything is changing, or if that you are going through very highs and lows, emotionally and physically, you may just be picking up the stories that millions of people are reading and praying about all around you. I ask us all to acknowledge the energy and bring in the Hope, faith and above all TRUTH in all that surrounds you. We can persevere through our own life and take power in faith, that we can create ourselves and our surroundings into new life. I would like us to take responsibility for our own life and I would like us to lend out a hand to those around us who are suffering (emotionally or physically). I would like us to use this energy to change our focus from individual strife into a unified need to attach to hope, faith and above all TRUTH.

Just Remember: You are Never Alone, and You are Exactly Where you are Suppose to Be!

Many Blessing You All

"A mule can go to Mecca, but that doesn't make him a pilgrim"

What is presented on the outside does not always match what is on the inside. Our society is so conditioned to look at the outside of a person and forget what is in their heart. It is what is in the heart that God sees. Life is not about your accomplishments or even your spiritual gifts. Life is about shedding the idea of living for the flesh and being born into the Spirit. Who you think you are ceases and what you truly are is revealed, reborn, and loved. I have yet to find anyone who finds peace from living for man, but I always find peace within those who live for the Spirit.
Do not look at what your fellow man presents, but connect further into their heart. The peace you seek does not lie in learning in knowledge, but from trust and faith. It is not up to you to determine the "right" path of yourself or anyone else, but it is up to you to love yourself and others as you are.

A little prayer:

I am sorry to all those I have judged, for I know I am only judging myself and
I am even more sorry that I let others judge me, for I know it them who they are judging
I know I am loved
I know I am transformed into the Spirit
I know I am truth
Thank You God
Amen

Listening to God in your heart

2011-03-25T16:43:00.002-04:00

Thank you to all the people That came to the Celebration of Spring last week at the Beyond Center. It was truly a blessed event with a great turnout. For all those who could not make it, never fear you were in our thoughts and on our minds. You are all amazing. Thank you thank you thank you.

O God, I have often thought that I was in control only to find that I was grasping at the air trying to find something solid, but all I ever felt was emptiness. So often do I think that I know the way that you would want me to go, not listening to you in my heart, but to the God that I believe to be in my mind. I call upon you to enter my flesh, fill my soul so that I understand that it is not my will, but thy will that leads me to illumination. I give up my control so I live the beauty and grace of the one that sent me. Thank you God and so it is.

Mindful Meditation, of our day

2011-03-12T20:51:00.003-05:00

Making that Leap of Faith

What is Faith?

Have you seen the miracles and the Presence of God today so that faith does not seem blind but inevitable.

Meditation:

God of Wisdom and Promise, you who knows our yearning ans our humanness, you call us into this time to reflect on covenant, into this time of entering into Sinai of our own lives. Nourish the dialog of our words with each of us. Help us to know that our barriers are sometimes your means to reach us as you make known your presence with us again and again in forgiveness and understanding. Help us to let you appear in us to manifest your loving response to be ready for covenant with you.

Thank you God and so it is.

Perception and Emotion

2011-03-01T01:30:00.001-05:00

Emotions are just your experiences resurfacing. The way you react to your surroundings is not always in truth, but in a way that allows you to feel the familiarity of the situation and bring forth only those aspects.

Your emotions are conditioned by your experiences, your health, your chemical makeup, and most of all what you have been trained to think by the masses. Although I believe emotion is a great and wonderful gift, it is not based in truth. In order to see TRUTH you must look beyond what you know and accept the information of what is a mystery. You must allow your intuitive self to connect to God (or the highest of the high) and ask to see truth. Only when you look from an outside perspective can you see what is real.

A Little About God

2011-02-25T00:28:00.002-05:00

The three parables of Luke 15:1-32 speak of God’s unconditional love. When I read the three parables I receive the message not just of God’s love but of our own repentance and conversion. To me true conversion to the belief and devotion to God, comes from an experience, an understanding of this un dieing love, this love that many of us believe to be undeserving. For me it isn’t until you realize that you are totally not worthy, that you become worthy. You need to see that love is not conditioned on our action, thought, or person. Love is the eternal part of our souls, our spirit. It has always been there, is here now and always will be, it is with out end and beginning, therefore can never be taken away.

In all three parables it stresses that “there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance”. Is this saying if you live a righteous life, that you are in less of God’s favor, than someone who sins? I believe that God is an advocate for our freedom, that a love is given so that we can have free will and free choice and it is within that freedom that we find God, because we are aloud the freedom to experience him/her. We are all, imperfectly perfect or the religious word sinners, so there is no righteous, it is that understanding and only that understanding where one can find compassion for a fellow human. It is in that understanding, where your choices are no longer dictated between what is right and wrong in the face of others, but your choices are dictated from with inside your heart. You chose not to kill, not because of the commandment, but because it is no longer in your heart to do so. You choose to treat your neighbor as yourself, not because you are suppose to, but because you understand why you are neighbors, and you love God with all your heart and all your soul, not because you were told to, but because you experienced what it was like to be lost and the spender of being found or better yet awoken.

Strengthening Your Spiritual Will Power:

I AM a Radiant being standing in my divine power. My roots are strong for I am part of my creator. I AM a powerful LIGHT radiating inside and out. Thank you GOD and SO IT IS.

Phil 4:4-7

2011-02-16T12:31:00.000-05:00

Phil 4:4-7 “ Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Rejoice, I love that, we are suppose to be joyful. To feel the joy that God brings into our lives and allow that energy of excitement to over power any woes we may have, allow us to come alive in the Spirit and truly understand, why it is that we believe in what we believe. Rejoice and give up our concerns, realizing that there are no concerns when we truly have faith in the Lord. Our worldly anxieties to not exist in the presence of the Lord, because the Lord does not know fear, it only knows freedom. To talk the words of fear, is to separate oneself from God, but to surrender our fears at it’s feet, is to know that God is with us.

Action

2011-02-15T15:16:00.003-05:00

We all have dreams, aspirations, and visions. Yet time and time again do I see and hear people defeat themselves before what is inside their hearts can come to fruition. I find that our fear of rejection out weighs our true calling from within. I have a simple message for you today, if you do not try, you will never allow your dreams to come true. I challenge you today to act. To take a chance and have the belief that you have the ability to change! The greatest impacts that the world has seen, has always been by someone who had the courage to go against the grain. It has always been by an individual who understood that the calling of their soul was far more superior than any rejection they might encounter. It is the energy of Gandhi, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Martin Luther King, our founding fathers, need I list more? I received a message once that said "Do not ask for the Lord to guide your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet".
So move your feet and trust that they will be guided!
With many blessings
Janine

Seize life! Live Life and share Life!

2011-02-13T02:08:00.003-05:00

You really can hear Yahweh speak to you
All you non believers
Why do you fight against faith?
Is it because you do not believe in what someone else believes in?
Well isn't that perfect.
I hope that you never take someone elses faith as your own
I Hope that you create your own faith
So that it truly is inside of you
I hope that you praise the goodness that you find in life
I hope you seek truth
I hope that you dare not to believe in an others experience
But have your epiphany, your own awakening, your own calling
Seize life! Live Life and share Life!

Thank you for coming out to see us at the Beyond Center for the open house. Thank you to all the vendors that came out too. Also, For everyone that came out to see e at the First Church in Hartland Thank you and God Bless.

LIfe is work and work is the journey

2011-02-11T04:52:00.001-05:00

Life is hard, it isn't fare and no one really said it was. It wasn't until this new age revolution, that people have attached to the idea that we are suppose to be happy all the time. And the more we talk about being happy the more antidepressants people have gone on. Life is work and work is the journey, the place where thoughts become tangible, where choices become reality. It is the place of creation. You can not blame anyone for where you are in life, once you know you have the ability to choose to do something other than what you are doing.
There is a God!
Not a religious God of righteousness
But I was created, you are created, and are alive and for that reason alone there is a God. God is the word that explains all that we do not understand, all that we can not prove, all that we don't know, and all that we hope for.
I am a christian, not in the religious sense, but a christian because I can feel at home with knowing that a man is God and God is in Man.
And God reaches much farther than I can comprehend, and I am humble enough to know that there are worlds beyond my understanding. We are not the center of the Universe, but part of it. Just as I am not God, but I am part of it.
Together we can create even more than what we have ever imagined.

Looking to connect to the Divine

2011-02-09T01:10:00.005-05:00

There is a difference in believing and in Knowing.

It really wasn't until I had it out with God, that my knowing stepped in stronger than my believing.

I had to diminish all my understanding of how the spiritual world worked and stop trying to figure things out, so that the path would unfold as it should rather than as I thought it to be.
So here is my advice. Release your restricted thinking of your power to create:

Mantra:
I am the Light, The Light is me

Prayer:
God, I love you, I have always loved you, and will always love you. Come into my life and transform me beyond my wildest dreams. Replace my heart with your heart, open my eyes to see as you see, and kindly and gently lead me to where you have always intend me to go.
I love you and am so excited with how much you love me.
Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!!!

The light is shining and the world needs to see
what is shining is looking down upon me
There is a way, not knew but old
what once was, will now unfold
Oh ever loving sister/brother
and ever devoted friend
I will make sure that we are found together once again
We are all one, and one for us to be
Come together again and be apart of me.
----------
Just got inspired to write something short and sweet. There is a need for us to change the world. It doesn't have to always be so serious. Laugh and have fun.

Also I wanted to remind everyone that I have a Big Weekend this weekend. Walk in readings during the day at the Beyond Center on Saturday 2/12 from 10-7 and then I will be giving a Healing Mass at the First Church in Hartland at 7pm. I hope to see you there. Come and spread the joy.

Thank you to all that attended the event at the Funny Bone

2011-02-06T23:38:00.006-05:00

I want to thank everyone that came out to see Rebecca Anne LoCicero and I at the Funny Bone in Manchester CT. It is always a blessing when we connect with our loved ones on the other side. It reminds us that we are not alone and that all we have to do is pause to listen to the messages of love that we get every day. Every step is a step we all take together if we choose.

I just wish we could have picked everyone in the audience, but we had such a great turn out for the event that we ran out of time. Don't despair, you can always connect with God, angels, and your loved ones on your own using the power of prayer and having faith. However, if you feel that you need that little extra help, Rebecca Anne and I are always available for you. As a matter of fact, we are having a big event this coming Saturday. We will be hosting:

Energy (originally written 1/29/09)

2011-02-03T20:56:00.007-05:00

Energy can not be Created or Destroyed.

If you have ever wondered if there is an after life, or about the concept of God, you may want to contemplate energy.

You Are Energy.

If you are energy that means that the energetic you cannot be destroyed, it can morf, merg, turn inside out, but can not be destroyed. Do you have to ask now, if there is an afterlife? Do you really think that you are just your physical body?

How about God?

God is defined as: Always was and Always will be. (a very similar definition as the law of energy)

What happens when we die?, well that is an age old question that many religions, gurus and mystics have been trying to answer for years. Do any of them really know?

NO, I nor anyone on this earth can tell you what exactly will happen when you die. Anyone who claim such things, does not speak in TRUTH.

HOWEVER...

I can tell you this;

You are energy and due to being energy you will live on. Just as the energy of this earth will live on after it's final days. I am so sick of people living in fear of Armageddon, the end of the world, 2012, and all such things.

Here is the TRUTH. The world will end some day.

But you will always live on.

To live in Fear of Tomorrow, is your way of trying to die today.

So my advice...Relax

Clear the clutter and live in TRUTH.

Have a magnificent day filled with miracles!

Message for January 30, 2011

2011-01-30T23:44:00.000-05:00

God never asks you to be successful, he only asks you to be Faithful!

The first step to this freedom, is to ask for it to be shown

2011-01-27T11:37:00.000-05:00

We are going to cultivate skills, not techniques so that you can harness your own power, your own connection, to the one true source that you regardless of your race, creed or out look have been searching and always searching to know. Who am I?, Why am I here?, and what is my purpose?

These are big questions, questions that never seem to get truly answered, but it seems that once on the path of acknowledgment, of awareness and above all of an inner knowing, the presence that we search for, our true home and nature, we can start to acquire the skills for the unimaginable to happen, to know God, Love and the Infinite.

We are not looking for a specific outcome. You do not want to control and put parameters on your already encapsulated soul. Your soul, and spirit, has been already confined enough. We are at the dawning of a new age, the age that Jesus spoke of, the skill that the Buddha gave us, and the understanding that there is more truth to be seen, by the Islam’s. We are going to free our souls, while we are in this Body. We are going to start to break down our walls of understanding and allow God to once again be our absolute. Remember you are part of God, not away from, therefore you are going to allow the oneness of ourselves, to align to the ultimate divine. You are going to unlock the ultimate freedom, The freedom of God that already is in you. The first step to this freedom, is to ask for it to be shown.

“ I pray to the I am, that you show yourself in every aspect of my life, that you help me understand the vastness of your pleasure as well as the truth of my specific soul. I call to you in reverence and humility, and in my power that you show yourself in a kind and gentle way, so that I can love you as you love me. Thank you I am and so it is.”
