Murder Honey

2009-01-05T07:46:00.000-08:00

In A Course In Miracles Jesus talks about a little something called murder. Now He's not talking about hitting someone over the head with a candle stick, He is talking about a state of mind. He tells us that if we are the slightest bit jealous, snide or envious, we are bring the experience and guilt of murder to our OWN mind. Can you just imagine how darn guilty you would feel if you knocked someone off? This guilt is unconscious of course and it shows up as the compulsion to spend, drink, smoke crack, get angry, etc.
Now honey, this is not a moral issue, it is just the plain ole Truth. Come on, come on now, you have to admit that the first thought out the gate when someone has good news, is not always happiness for your neighbor. We simply do this because we don't know any better. Well, now we do and if we can just flip the switch and genuinely wish happiness for our bald, retired neighbor who is driving that new Porche, we will know happiness.
This stuff is easy peasy, it's just the remembering that take a little effort. Next thing you know you will be wearing your kerchief and cruising in that Porche too!

Anger and Fear

2008-12-29T09:51:00.001-08:00

Well there is nothing like the holidays to kick up a little anger. Come on now, come on you would have to be Magdalene herself not to get yer Irish up during the holidays.
One thing we seem to have amnesia about, is that anger is really an expression of fear. If grandma gets all testy, that you show up late for dinner, LOOK OUT. She'll be eye ballin ya accross the table all through yer salad and turkey. You'll be thinking "pass the scotch and a little relief, will yah!?"
What if while you were sitting there you remembered that "mad granny" was really just afraid? She may be having a little social anxiety and is scared people won't have a good time or like her cookin?
Now thinking like that opens up all kinds of possibilities doesn't it? Getting angry is not a moral issue honey. It is not a call to war, its and expression of fear. Trust me, if you can rule your mind by responding to fear with Love, you will know happiness. Beam at granny and give her a wink. Tell her no one makes a yummy bird like hers.

Not qualified for the job Honey

2008-12-18T06:16:00.000-08:00

I have some knee slappin good news. Anybody who tries to judge you honey is not qualified for the job. Someone tells you that you are a no good low down sum b#tch, just remember their lack of qualification in such matters and tell yerself "I don't think so."
Come on, come on now, this doesn't give you free reign in the other direction there sweet cheeks. The fact of the matter is no one is qualified to judge anyone. It's not a moral issue, it is simply ridiculous. When you have the hankering to slam someone and lay a judgement on them what you are really looking for is a way to elevate yourself.
This is easy peasy stuff when you are willing to see that we have it all backwards. Instead of stepping on someone, go and bake someone a cake. THAT will elevate your spirits lickity split. Stir that batter and think of all the blessings in your life and you will have yerself a LOVE CAKE.

Failure Honey

2008-12-12T08:07:00.000-08:00

What if there REALLY were no darn such thing? You may think I'm sittin here smokin the hooch coming up with this one, but I'm here to tell you it's the Truth. Who is it judges me as a failure anyway? ME! I mean someone can give you what 4 all day long, but if you don't agree it just isn't so, now is it honey?
It's easy peasy to get beyond any notion of failure if we just change the word to mistake. Humble yourself a wee bit and recognize that if you have a belly button your are prone to make mistakes. The real measure of beauty is our ability to bounce back! Ask yourself this one question "where in this situation could I have chosen more clearly?" Ten out of ten times we realize that maybe we were in a little bit of a brain fog when we were making decisions. That's okay, dust off and choose again!
This is not a moral issue sweet baby, it's a matter of happiness! Peace of mind even!

Forgiveness

2008-12-11T06:25:00.000-08:00

Believe you me honey, just the sound of the word makes me wanna yawn. Come on, come one now let's look a little closer here. This isn't the hoity toity better than tho forgiveness I'm talking about here. It's about taking a look at that stinking thinking and showing it the door.
Jesus narrows it down for us big time in ACIM and tells us ANY thoughts we are having about ANYONE that are not appreciative, need to be let go of. Yes, that means we have to TRY.
So if we have a thought such as "yikes, that ball and chain called my mother in law is coming over" it can be observed and replace with "she's a good kid getting by the best way she knows how."
This is not a moral issue honey. One way of thinking makes us wanna hit the scotch and the other makes us wanna throw our arms around the old girl.

How much fun are you?

2008-12-09T07:05:00.000-08:00

No one makes you fun honey, that is up to you. Come on, come on now it's way to easy to blame our pain in the neck ways on someone else. We tell ourselves things like "he's driving way too fast, darn it,... she KNOWS I don 't like onions in the stuffing, ... or why are they alway tracking mud through my kitchen with those big old man-boots on? AGAIN!" You know what I am talking about here, all of our little ways to justify being cranky and weary a mean ole frowny face.
What's behind all of that anyway? We are taught in ACIM that the only true experience worthy of a child of God is either Appreciation or Forgiveness. Well, the above thinking sure doesn't sound like appreciation so I'm thinking there is some forgivness to do. It's easy peasy, I just need to find some willingness to "see" things differently and allow that stinking thinking to drift away.
Forgiveness=undoing (of thought, it has nuthin to do with whatcher lookin at)
3 steps of forgiveness

1. I am cranky and have lost my peace
2. I am willing to see this differently
3. wait in faith that a power greater than myself (for me it's Jesus) will bring remedy.

Amen

Dead in the water

2008-12-08T06:50:00.000-08:00

Well that's a drastic little title now isn't it? Well, there is a darn good reason for it honey. Dead in the water refers to our attitude when we are being a bummer in every day life. I mean Come on, come on now, how warm and fuzzy are you to be with?
We think we have the luxury to be all cranky sometimes and what we don't realize is that we are creating a big ole pile of buzz kill in the world. "Well, what kind of buzz are you talkin here now Revie" you might say. I am talking about the buzz that we all get when we just fully enjoy each other's company.
If we are feeling less than stellar and someone invites us to share a sandwich or go for a ride, it's easy peasy to make a shift. Take that person by the hand and say something like "oh I am just feeling a little darn dramatic, it has nothing to do with you, it will pass." See, honey? Now you have let them in your world and off of the hook. Make sure not to lay a bunch of talk about your drama on them now. We want it to PASS. Next thing you know you will be laughing and drinking margaritas! With salt for heaven's sake!

Turn it on a dime

2008-12-05T07:27:00.000-08:00

So this little bugger was giving your Revie a REALLY bad time this morning. I looked at this little feller and said "you turn yourself around now right this moment or we are not going out the door." Guess what the little rascal did? He went into his room, put on his shoes and came back wearing a COMPLETELY different attitude.
He had a shift in perception in about 30 seconds. Come on, come on now if this little guy can do it, you and me sure can. Easy peasy. When someone is being less than shining in their attitude we want to go around figuring out what caused it. That is nonsense. We have the power to turn it on a dime.
We are holding the bar too low for one another when we lean into each other's moodiness and try to figure out what went wrong. Sometimes the most loving thing to say is "SNAP OUT OF IT!"
This is not a moral issue honey, it's a matter of happiness.

It's called unconscious for a REASON

2008-12-03T06:26:00.000-08:00

In ACIM Jesus tells us that we are terrified of getting along with one another. It's like if you are too warm and fuzzy BAM, you will lose yourself. Come on, come one now, we all do it, get cranky for no (apparent) reason when someone is just trying to have some fun with us.
This is no moral issue, it's just the unconscious fear of Love, honey. How do we know when we have stumbled into this lonely territory? We know by how we are behaving. We are so tender, aren't we?
"So," you might say, "Revie how do we get out of this little thorny state of mind?" Well, that's easy peasy. We take a little time out, from whatever we are doing and acknowledge that our prickly attitude, has NOTHING to do with anyone but US. We cut oursevles some slack, dust ourselves off and change our mind about being so darn incooperative. NOW we can get our party on!

Our Worthiness

2008-12-02T06:11:00.000-08:00

There is a line in ACIM "You cannot be fully committed some of the time." Well, isn't that a little something to pay attention to? I mean Come on, come on now, how many things have we started and done half @$$ed or just plain quit?
Well, feast your eyes on this quote from Jesus. "You do not believe that you are worth consistent effort." Well, it's pretty easy peasy to figure out now why we are not fully committed to very much. eh?
Why do so many precious kiddies drop outa school? You ever watch a make-over show and see how blown away the made-over one is? I mean they are OVERWHELMED at the prospect of being fawned over. You can see that they didn't much think that they were worth the effort to be all dolled up.
This not being fully committed is so not a moral issue honey. It's a matter of taking an intsy bintsy step towards your heavenly value. It was established a long long time ago by the big G (God) himself. Let's hold hands and move forward.

The first thing we need to remember there sweet cheeks is, everyone has it. That is the first step to blowing the lid off of this buzz-kill called anxiety. Conquering social anxiety is easy peasy.

Within, Without

2008-11-30T10:36:00.000-08:00

Why am I tempted to say tomato, tomaaato? Well that's easy peasy because tomato tomaaato are the same thing and so is within and without. Come on, come on now you may say to yourself, you're getting a little trippy on me there Revie.
Put down that double scotch and give me a listen for a minute. You cannot have a happy home with a chaotic mind at the helm. It doesn't work that way. If your home life is a mess and someone calm and kind comes through the door, it automatically has an effect. A calm quiet mind actually has more effect than a crazy chaotic one. Yes of course the chaotic one has great might, but a powerfully calm mind, cannot be shaken.
Well this all sounds dandy, but how in blazes do we achieve THAT!? One intsy bintsy step at a time. Make a deal with yourself to resist being reactive one time today. See how it feels to pause before responding to just ONE person. THAT is power my friend. Try it on for size. Make yourself happy AND powerful.

Taking things personally

Come one, come one now we all know that it is SO darn easy to takes things personally. For heaven's sake we want a smile and approval from the money taker in the toll booth. How come they didn't smile at me? I must be a real loser.
Taking things personally just plain hurts. We take things personally and go about trying to figure out what is so wrong with us that someone would act THAT way?!
What if someone were acting less than glowing simply because their shoes were too tight? What if that difficult demeaner had absolutey nothing to do with you? Well I have some good news, that fellow human being who just gave you WHAT 4, was all mixed up before you ever crossed their radar.
How's about if someone gave us a bad time and we listened? There may actually be a message of some use in there if we weren't so busy taking everything so personally.
This is easy peasy stuff, once we get in the habit of just listening and not reacting. Nine out of ten times that person with the ruffled feathers is just tired and frustrated. You watch and see honey you will have truck loads of peace if you can master not taking things personally.

Drama Queenie

Come on, come on now, we all have either been one or know one. You know that girl who is always melancholly and seems to have WAY more problems than anyone else. If she gets your ear she will talk about her favorite subject. Her.
What is it that turns someone into a drama queen anyway? Well, kids there is a very simple answer to that. Pain. Our little drama queen is very afraid and traumatized and it just looking and searching for some peace.
Wouldn't it just be dandy if when we saw her we DIDN'T run out the back door? God's will for us is perfect happiness and turning our friends off and driving them away is not very happy.
Recovering from drama queen sydrome is easy peasy. Sit on the end of your bed and have a good cry. Give yourself permission, run and get the hankies and get ready for a very dramatic session. No longer than 15 min. THEN dust yourself off and go do something else, other than driving your friends away with your drama. This is not a moral issue honey, you deserve to have fun with some groovin friends. You can go back and cry in room later. :)
There is nothing like giving yourself permission to blubber to heal a heart.

Freedom is happening in our minds. We are either all funked up with our thinking or we are feeling free and able to laugh easily. Freedom is a choice, to imprison ourselves with our stinking thinking is not a morale issue dear, it's a bummer. For heaven's sake there are miraculsous stories of people in Natzi camps with free minds who felt Joy.
The Revie is here to tell you that our friends in those camps posessed nothing in their minds, that you or the beauty in rollers, do not posess. If we are waiting for the circumstances in our world to be in order before we are happy, it is going to be a LONG wait.
Come on, come one now, whoever it is that you are pissed off at, let it go. Set yourself free. Trust me you won't feel bad, you will feel happy.
What better month, than the month of Giving thanks, to let our resentment go?

I mean come on, come on now, this poor jamoke standing before us has nothing to do with the past. Why is it that we make the beauty in front of us suffer for our dysfunctional past? Hmmmmm
When we feel like telling a friend or a lover to take a flying leap, the one who needs to take a flying leap to their room is US! This is not a moral issue honey, taking our vengeance out on someone makes us feel like crap. Oh in the moment we may feel all high and mighty, but the next thing you know we are craving a double martini, 10 twinkies or a hit off of that bong.
God is the boss of our mind and if we decide to have it changed, peace and understanding of the past AND the present comes of itself. Just be willing.

Neediness the Boogie Monster

2008-11-20T06:37:00.000-08:00

Come on, come on now let's not pretend we don't know what it feels like to be needy. Neediness is not a moral issue, it is the condition of the world. Even though we try to hide it, you can see it everywhere, now can't you dear? We drive a corvette and live in a trailer, we have a need for you to think we are hot stuff.
What is your corvette? Is is a hottie on your elbow, a fat wallet, a PHD in blah blah blah? Neediness makes us feel....DORKIE, VULNERABLE, LITTLE. We go around doing litte and grand things to push that neediness off. AND for the love of God don't admit to anyone you feel needy. You may as well be saying "little plague with your coffee sir?" No no no I am not needy, needy is so uncool.
What if when we felt needy, we just felt it? We just allowed ourselves to feel uncomfortable? Would our big ole fannies fall off? I don't think so. Look your neediness square in the eye. It's always about needing the love or affection of someone else isn't it dear? It's okay, we took a little visit to our horizontal thinking, we became needy and now we don't fight it. Blubber if you need to, take a bath, read a book. Just take a few minutes to acknowledge that we are willing to see things differently.
Trust me honey, neediness dies of neglect throught acceptance. NOT by resistance.

Sorting out what is important

This is easy peasy. THE most important thing is people. End of story.

If we are moseying along in our every day life and no one needs us we continue to mosey. However, if we come accross some who needs a hand, ear, or a chuckle, we need to take pause for a moment.

This is not some goodie-two-shoes view of things, stopping for a moment and being available to someone else makes us happy. Remember, it may not bring joy in the moment, but the pay off of feeling content is on the way. Have a little faith.

Come on, come on now, even the President of the US of A can take ten at the water cooler to have a chuckle! Make yourself happy! Give yourself away.

2008-11-18T07:17:00.000-08:00

When we have a prickly attitude we have no idea who is paying attention. Same goes when we are being warm and fuzzy. You never know who is watching and taking mental notes. We have no idea how much fun we are missing because someone who saw us behaving in a less than polite manner may now be afraid to dance with us.
Remember? Remember how you always felt comfortable to dance with the girl who said "yes" to dancing with everyone? It was a no risk proposition, you could cross that wide expanse of dance floor and receive a smile and a "yes."
This is NOT a moral issue, just a little something to be aware of. Come on, come on now this is simple stuff, we can (me too) learn to express our "issues" in private. We don't want to miss the dance!

Anxiety

2008-11-17T07:03:00.000-08:00

According to ACIM it's not real. That's right, not my words, but I believe them. When we are feeling anything, from mildly irritated to full blown freaked out, it is only our thinking (stinking thinking) that brought it about.
"Well Revie" you might say "what the heck is the answer to THAT!?" Well, we just need to turning that thinking around and have a little faith. Where does the faith come in and why? We don't think one fuzzy thought and then BOOM we are in nirvana. It takes faith to have the patience to FEEL the effects of thinking that is not self absorbed.
Seek inside for the willingness to change your mind and wait patiently. Come on, come on now you think that you are unique? EVERYONE feels and attempts to manage anxiety honey.

We hang out and watch a movie, share a joke, rake the leaves, cook dinner together, fix tiles together and BAM, next thing you know we FEEL great!

Come on, come on two thousand years ago he was going around saying things like.. you are all one, there is no sin and GUESS what they did to him? Nailed him on a cross!!

Come on, come on you might say, the Revie has really got her hokie on today. Well hang in there kids, don't knock it until you try it. Why do you suppose we like movies so much?

Take a zipper and a lock for peace

Is it that simple? If we simply close our big pie hole and listen can we learn to have peace? Come on now, come on we don't want to be going around telling others to shut their pie hole, this is about us. Lord knows we come accross a lot of folks in a day who are thinking all kinds of worrisome thoughts along that horizontal level. Remember the sign of the cross? All of our problems are contained on the horizontal level of the world. When we zip it and listen to our friend and Brother, we have taken the first and most important step of lifting us all up to a vertical, happy alignment.

That pretty cross that everyone is wearing around their neck means a whole lot more than a pretty piece of gold. It is to remind us that we spend WAY too much time in our stinkin horizontal thinkin, nailed onto the cross. Who put us there? We did. The quickest route to higher realms of peace and thought is through silence and listening. Go ahead, trust yourself to be quiet and then respond with Clarity and Kindness.

Taking things personally

Oh man the Revie is the master of this. Quite frankly we have to be delusional to takes things personally and quite frankly we ARE and DO. Stick with me here kids, we are delusional because we lose sight of how incredibly awesome we are way too easily. Some one blames the war in Iraq on us and we fall to pieces.
Come on, come on now you may say haha war in Iraq? Well this is no different that taking responsibility for the WAR GOING ON IN SOMEONE ELSE'S MIND. Not a moral issue now, just a BIG interference to your peace of mind.
Everyone with a belly button is walking this earth feeling fragile at one time or another. When we are feeling fragile, let's just say we treat other's in a less than glowing manner. We don't mean it, we really don't, we are just tired, afraid, hungry, etc. Well why should it be different for anyone else?
Yes they are innocent in their fear and we are also innocent. We have absolutely nothing to do with someone esle's ugly state of mind. However, we can help bring them down from the ceilling when remember to not take things personally. We can just take pause and offer a little peace, now can't we?
In A Course in Miracles this is called OFFERING SOMEONE A MIRACLE, no less. A miracle is simple a shift in perception. A shift from fear to peace. Now that's not too tricky for us now is it?

Enlightenment

2008-11-10T09:43:00.001-08:00

Could it be that Enlightenment is simply the willingness and ability to be nice all of the time? To get out of our own way, step away from our fear and be Kind in all things? I have to be completely honest here. I am not willling to be kind all of the time. Don't fall out of your chair now, it's the truth. Sometimes my willingness is a little rusty, I open my big mouth, tell someone to bugger-off and then I suffer. This is no moral issue, just the unwillingness to be spiritually enlightened in any given moment.
Now, hang in there with me, there is good new. This means that every single time we are kind and extend ourselves to another being, we are Englightened. The Light within us is coming forth. It makes us FEEL great too! Isn't that exciting?
So who is really suffering when I am unwilling to be kind in all things. Come on, I know you know the answer. Me, that's right, me. We don't want to suffer anymore.

Did you ever notice that anyone who is REALLY cool never actually THINKS about being cool? Come on now, we all know the minute you trying to ACT cool, BAM instantly you are so very uncool. To want to elevate ourselves in our Brother's eye is to be using him in a way that is very unkind to ourselves. Now we don't want to do that anymore, do we? I mean God's will for us is perfect happiness and TRYING to be cool is just plain painful. Not a moral issue kids, we just need to straighten ourselves out a bit.
So what is the cure? BELIEVE you me the Revie knows about this one. BE WILLING TO BE VERY UNCOOL. Set yourself free honey, let it all go. Forget about yourself and lose yourself in a belly laugh. Laugh at yourself, but don't be cruel to you or anyone else! Behave now.

Love WITH you,

Romance

Oh how we find ourselves longing for someone to come along and bring us some relief. We are bored out of our brains and we want a little excitement for heaven's sake. Is that too much to ask? We go about our day blowing off everyone insight, we don't even pick up the phone when it rings, too busy screening. Night falls and we are looking for a little romance. No moral issue here, just a little something for closer inspection.
We want to FEEL interconnected. We don't want to be lonely and gosh darn it, we want to know the CURE. Well much as we try to cure our loneliness from GETTING things from people, the only cure is to start giving ourselves away. It's not what you think, now behave. We need to offer kindness AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Then we won't be feeling quite as lonely and needy now will we? As a matter of fact, do this for a couple of days and you will find yourself throwing your arms around the world. In a Brotherly way of course!

Love WITH you,

RIR

Crappy Parenting

2008-11-07T12:07:00.000-08:00

What is crappy parenting anyway? Trust me kids, it's not a moral issue, it's an issue about happiness. When parents are happy they pass that happiness on to their kiddies. There is no way around this.
Guess what? When we are driving around in our new mercedes talking smack on the cell phone about the neighbors, the kiddies are taking it ALL in. Next thing you know they are in high school, rolling in your benz, talking smack about YOU while smoking weed with their friends.
Then we get the call from the cops and cry to our friends "where did we go wrong!?"
This can all be changed in an instant, come on, i mean come on, give the kiddies (even if they are 30) a call and tell them you were mistaken. MISTAKEN i say, this is NOT a moral issue.
Crappy parenting is not real and can be dispelled. All of those mistakes are contained on the horizontal thinking line. Remember the sign of the cross? Well, the vertical line represents our straightening ourselves out and aligning with happiness. I mean, that is what we all want, right?

The Little that you think you have

Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracle that he is not trying to take a way the little that we think we have. For heaven's sake if we are believing in the world we have a lot to be afraid of and are in need of a lot of comfort! This is not a moral issue to seek comfort in the world. Come on, come one, most of us don't know any better.
Jesus doesn't want to take away our twinkies, cocaine, sex and ciggarettes, He just wants us to learn to lean on Him a little more and get to know who we really are. We are completely Loved and Loveable.

Revie is Love WITH you.
