Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Pat, That's a great question! It's more heard than made. What comes to me is that it's " realized " which might be slightly different than heard. I have often been confused about what to do and I have just waited for the voice to tell me, but instead what I get are all these conflicting voices. How do you eplain that? Do the voices/thoughts fight each other until one wins out? ~Dwight > > In Loving What Is, does the > work with a woman deciding on how > to invest. tells her that > the decisions are made in their own > time.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes, . I agree. What occured to me was that maybe by sitting quietly and waiting for the voice to tell me what to do, I was in fact " trying to make a decision. " I was doing something--waiting for it. That could be a kind of manipulation. ~Dwight > > > > > > In Loving What Is, does the > > > work with a woman deciding on how > > > to invest. tells her that > > > the decisions are made in their own > > > time.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Thanks , I think that really helped me. My heart was saying to go to the cheaper hotel that was nearby to the intensive, about a block away. Then my head came in, and started telling me all the reasons why that might not be a good idea!! But I couldnt tell the voices apart. Now, maybe, it seems clearer to me.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I decided to quit my job.. I dont know if it was the right thing.. but i think it was. I will go visit my mom and maybe get another job after that. I might take a few weeks off. My husband was tired of me complaining and said it was ok for me to quit.. I appreciate that. i hope it was the right thing to do.. it is reality. guess that means it was the right thing. rh -- In Loving-what-is , " " <skogsnuvan@y...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > In Loving What Is, does the > > > > > work with a woman deciding on how > > > > > to invest. tells her that > > > > > the decisions are made in their own > > > > > time.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I did quit.. already Because i felt i made mistakes on my job and i have a lot of guilt . I suppose one could argue they werent but i think they were. and i couldnt go back or i couldnt confront going back. I was married in a civil ceremony didnt cost anything but then I know many like the wedding ceremony i never wanted that. i feel like spending a lot on a wedding is a huge waste of money i guess im not a romantic or a party person . Oprah had a show on that once and that if people charge stuff like that they are in debt for the rest of their lives practically. I think your smart to wait if you can pay cash it isnt so bad. Flo my unity teacher used to draw a package on the board and say this is the way we think our future should look but what God has planned for us is always better for us and so we should not expect our plans to work every time. or something like that. Being open to whatever.. i guess.. is best. loving what is.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 hi MAria.. I think you spent your money wisely.. dogs are a better investment.. Tolle said something about he lived with 2 zen masters and they were both cats. DOgs are very zen as well.. they love what is. You could have a pot luck party .. My sister who has money had her reception in the back yard of her home and made the food . IT was delicious. I dont think honeymoons are ever cheap. Unless someone paid for it as a wedding gift. maybe that will happen. love, roslyn > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In Loving What Is, does the > > > > > > > > > work with a woman deciding on how > > > > > > > > > to invest. tells her that > > > > > > > > > the decisions are made in their own > > > > > > > > > time.
