  • The Socrates Triple Filter Test

    In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”..

    “Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything, I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test”..

    “Triple filter?”..

    “That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”..

    “No,” the man said, “Actually I just heard about it and”...

    “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?”..

    “No, on the contrary”...

    “So,” Socrates continued, “You want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”..

    “No, not really”..

    “Well,” concluded Socrates, “If what you want to!cid_006301c78784$657e5740$01fea8c0@craig1 tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”


    1) IS IT TRUE?

    2) IS IT GOOD?

    3) IS IT USEFUL?

  • And So It Is!

    I love this teaching newkuanyin16 from Abraham through Esther Hicks:

    "You will notice that those who speak most of prosperity, have it. Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of sickness, have it. Those who speak most of poverty, have it. It is Law. It can be no other way... The way you feel is your point of attraction, and so, the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a magnet getting more and more of the way you feel. When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness. When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel sick, you attract more sickness. When you feel unhappy, you attract more unhappiness. When you feel healthy and vital and alive and prosperous—you attract more of all of those things. "--- Abraham

  • Intenders Message


    For many years I've subscribed to the Intenders Messages Online, and they've been a source of spiritual upliftment and wisdom. Today's message I feel called to share with you as there is much truth written within Reminder #116 about what we let come through us.


    I witness this phenomena all the time both in myself and in others, and I call it "Spirit Speaking". It's often uncanny what others will say 'out of character'as they shift into another character/sub-personality/entity/being or whatever else you would like to call it.

    Like this message states, we can state our intentions for only the Highest Beings to occupy our body for the purposes stated below. It's our choice.


    I've enclosed the email instructions so if you choose to receive these Intenders Message, you know how to contact them. Smallest Apples

    The Bridge ~ Reminder #116
    Receiving Your Own Messages

    Create with Love and your creation will Love you back

    I have a copyright on my work, but I can't say as I'd enforce it if someone with good intent wanted to take a portion of it and use it. In fact, there is one piece of information that I've gleaned in the last few years that I would encourage my readers to copy down and use freely. My good friend, Debra Ward, who runs the Intenders Circle in Houston, calls it The Intenders Prayer and I mentioned it in the seventh step of The Bridge earlier, but it is so important that I mention it again here. It has to do with the instructions I give myself before sitting down and picking up a pencil or speaking to a group of people.

    I've come to realize that there is an exactness, a clarity, that is required when we begin to make contact with helpers from other dimensions. Whether we know it or not, all of us are receiving messages from the invisible a good deal of the time. Entities from invisible worlds come and go from our bodies and we don't even realize that what we're saying may not be coming from us, but from a being who just popped into our body to pursue its own interests. We're a world full of people who have given free-reign to the rest of the energies in the Universe, to use our bodies at their discretion. If you think about it, this would explain all of the mood swings, self-detrimental activities, violent and nonproductive behavior you see all around and within you. We're simply letting some invisible being use our body.

    A good example of this can be found in the writings of most of our present-day, best selling authors. Stephen King, for instance, has surely tapped into an almost unlimited source of information, (he says it's a cigar chomping muse). But the fearful nature of his work suggests that it's doubtful if his muse is interested in creating a better world for us to live in.

    Indeed, we can enhance our creativity and beneficent behavior by using this new knowledge wisely. We can invite beings who only stand for the Highest Good to use our bodies. We can issue clear instructions to those who would come in and borrow our voice or our writing hand.

    I know that this will sound like an oversimplification to many of you, but I suggest that it is entirely possible that the world we live in would take a monumental change for the better if we were to stop for a moment before we say or do anything that is of value to us and give ourselves brief instructions for what we desire to follow. My whole world began to change when I began to stop and take a minute or two to talk to the Universe each time the outcome of my actions was important to me (which became more and more frequent).

    For me, taking that moment or two became the difference between caring and not caring. I began to see a noticeable difference in the quality of my work. And, at the same time, everything got a lot more enjoyable for me.

    So, like I said, you can borrow my instructions if you like. Put them to the test. See what comes out. I intend for you all the best that life has to offer.

    The instructions I use are:

    1. I ask that everything needing to be known is known here today.
    2. I Intend that I am guided guarded, and protected at all times.
    3. I Intend that all of my words (or writings) are clear, precise, uplifting, helpful, and fun.
    4. And I Intend that all of my words and thoughts and deeds serve the Highest and best Good of the Universe, myself, and everybody everywhere.
    So be it and so it is.

    My Intention for today is:

    I Intend that I am only attracting invisible energies to me
    who stand for the Highest Good.

  • She Is A Marvel

    I'm sharing this video a friend sent me today because I believe this young prodigy artist is so utterly charming, talented, and pure.

     
  • The Awakening

    Sharing this quote with you which I like so much:
    blessings
    "After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So, plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth"

    Firstly *never* feel afraid to ask anything, it isn’t silly and you never know till you don’t ask, now that’s silly. And then, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask your friend anything because a true friend doesn’t judge. With that done - You can see your screen resolution in your Control Panel > D
