Proud, Noble, Exalted, Elevated, Humbled..

"Humility is a grace that shines in a high condition but cannot, equally, in a low one because a person in the latter is already, perhaps, too much humbled." Samuel Richardson "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration: Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment. Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves: Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's. For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man... For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will...

All Things Are Possible, If You Believe...

Today, just as many of my days these past couple of months, has been exceptionally marvelous. I bask in the joy of it! Two weeks ago I submitted myself for a test to see whether I had the "genetic mutated gene" (BRCA1 and BRCA2) for breast cancer. Being the family member with breast cancer, it was necessary for me to take the test foremost to determine if the cancer I was challenged with was genetically linked. If so, then it would be necessary for my daughter, siblings, and other relatives to be tested to see if the mutation had also developed with them or skipped them. (hmmm...) Well, the test was negative. No one else needs to be tested. Clearing cancer from the family line was just made easier. Oh yeah, I believe it can be cleared. When I was first informed that I had cancer I looked at the history of all the family members that had moved on from this plane of existence to see what the commonality was. I didn't know about the mutated gene at the time and it didn't matter, for it is irrelevant. Cancer ran rampid in my family. In fact, with the exception of my father's father, brother, sister and my cousin Allen, I don't know of anyone in the family moving on for any other reason outside of cancer. Interestingly enough, as I explore the varying dear loses I was to discover that there was little commonality in the cancers that they had. There was Leukemia, Lung, Breast, Brain, etc. All different. Where I did find the commonality was in extreme stress and buried emotional duress. I guess you could call us the "grin and bear it" clan. Wow, I thought and realized that I had many traumas that I had not released and moved through life as though it never happened. But these things did happen and when left unattended they do fester and compress with each occurence, each ignoring of the feelings, etc. press down as garbage in a trash compactor only to have the fumes later infiltrate the spirit then the body. Oh &%*#, I thought and through time was led to methodologies which were instrumental in clearing the "funk" and replenishing myself with the frequency of a rose! I will share specifics about these modalities in my future blogs, but want now to continue the story of my experiences at the Agape Transformational Conference in 2003. The conference was phenomenal. By this time I had decided to live and author my own life. The line-up for the conference was phenomenal. The line-up included Ilyanla Vanzant (http://www.innervisionsworldwide.com/), Gregg Braden (http://www.greggbraden.com/), Jean Houston (http://www.jeanhouston.org/), Rev. Sheila McKeithen (http://www.utruthcenter.org/) just to name a few were there imparting their wisdoms upon us and through us. It was a most joyous event. As each one came off the stage I approached them in groupie fashion, different however for I was quickly sharing my story and asking for guidance and support. (Initially I thought I had to go it alone until one day I had the good fortune to read one of John Randolph Price's (http://www.johnrandolphprice.com/) book in which he stated that sometimes you need the light and support of others to increase your own light. I was about increasing my light that day and bombarded each with my story, my condition and my request for Support! Just wanted some direction. With the exception of Dr. McKeithen (who shared she once had the issue of blood like the woman in the bible) each suggested I sign up for their prayer lists. But Dr. McKeithen gave me direction. After she recollected herself from my blunt force reporting, she guided me to attend classes at a church which happened to be back in Maryland, around the corner from where I lived--One God One Thought Center for Better Living (http://www.onegodonethought.org/). It was to be my foundational learning and penetration of the illusion that I had been living. (more to come...) Sozos, Myra

"I AM Bold Enough to Be Whole"

To day I received the most soul satisfying email, that encapsulated in a few short eloquent sentences what I choose to relay to readers through my blog and website (http://www.innerflamesexcursions.com/) -- that is to be an inspiration to all that visit. I am moved to share it with all and to express my thank you, Michael, for the validation from a reader representative of Cyberspace World. Following is that email: "I was cultivating spiritual health and exploring extraordinary states of being online when the spirits guided me to your home in cyberspace. I enjoyed the garden of your soul for you are a unique individual whose life and work inspires. Know that you are a radiant person of character whose many gifts enrich and enlighten. By giving who you are into the world you stimulate awareness as you decorate your soul. Thank you for being a beautiful being of light. I wish you a journey of peace in harmony with the higher spirit. May you befriend and nourish your inner child as you explore the mystical universe and may you journey into freedom as you live your life with the greatest of joy. Yours In Expansion of Consciousness Micheal Teal The Ancient OnePoet , CyberShaman and Spiritual Consultant http://theancientone.gaia.com/ " As I shared in my last posting, I received a copy of a cassett recording of Dr. Michael Beckwith (http://www.agapelive.com/). What moved me so about that recording and brought me to stark attention was a question he proposed--Are you bold enough to be whole! The very idea rocked me to the core. Am I bold enough to be whole? Then he said, "Don't you know who you are?" These words resounded in my mind over and over until the became like a dare--a dare to live fully, to author my life fully, take authority fully, stand strong in knowing who I was! The I Am that I Am! A totally connected child of God... At that moment, I chose not to perish, but to live and be a participant in my life... And as a wide-eyed child full of wonder and speculation, I gingerly stepped onto the "road less traveled." I wanted to know what he and the line-up of players knew. Having been an educator and people mover of over twenty years, I signed myself up as my newest client. And put all my skill, education, and know how into myself. I arrived in California for Dr. Beckwith's transformational conference a broken person. I was spiritually, emotionally and physically bankrupt. My body "envaded" by the dis-ease of breast cancer, lost of functionally to my left side, the seeds of concession to death by this dis-ease welded in my being, I stepped off that plane wide-eyed and ready to begin the process--to turn around the fast moving train to my demise--to be bold enough to be whole. My life has never been the same again. (more to come...) Sozos, Myra

A Parenthesis in Eternity

Today is my best friend, my beloved mom's birthday. Happy birthday Sweetie! I said "until we meet again" in February 2002. She passed on from this world due to "complications from breast cancer." She developed pneumonia. I had the honor to be there when she took her last breath and stood motionless while honoring her request to not have them resuscitate her. As she moved on she gifted me by sending her spirit throughout my body. I was filled with joy for weeks. I did not realize at the time the significance of this action. It has been my staple. Exactly two months following her passing, I received my diagnosis of breast cancer. I made the decision not to go the traditional route, but to instead parish and go out having fun. I had seen the drill too often, having supported and cared for through "treatment", several family members only to lose them through this "epidemic" called cancer. I liquidated everything I owned, quit my job and took some contractual assignments--on my terms. I then commenced with having the time of my life! Then one day I received a cassett of Dr. Michael Beckwith (www.agapelive.com) from Ilanya Vanzant's book club (www.innervisionsworldwide.com). Dr. Beckwith had an upcoming conference that year (2003), The Transformational Conference. I was so moved by the cassett that I registered, booked my flight and attended. It was a phenomenal experience. And as he said up on that stage, "your life will never be the same again", my life took a turn in a new direction. (more to come...) Sozos, Myra

Road Less Traveled

I was "diagnosed" with breast cancer originally in 2002. Having buried so many in my family from it, I chose the road less traveled and dismissed treatment. In 2005 I was given three months to live. This is the year 2009 and I still rise. I decided to do this blog to share my experiences, the unique techniques I learned, and things I came across that have played a phenomenal role in my state of being today. As I write, I will share the past and the present. It is my hope that what I have learned and am sharing will be of assistance to others. Sozos, Myra
