COMMON THREADS by Madelaine J.Watson, MSW,CHT,CIM

“Evolution is speeding up, not time. Consciousness is evolving, becoming aware of itself as creation's mentor. Children are evolution's front edge. They push at boundaries... challenge the status quo...irritate convention. That is their job...to set free all that sullies the human heart and blinds the mind to the relationship between the Creator and the Created." ~ P.M.H. Atwater~

"ONLY LOVE PREVAILS" ...."I've loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more....."


As we are in the winter of our lives, I dedicate this to Andrew, Dr. John J.C. Jr. and Gary W., MD, (who has gone on before us). My love and admiration is unfathomable for each of you..........and what you have brought into this world.....so profoundly to me.
The metaphors are rich and provocative; we're in them now. This world is indeed disappearing, and the richest eternal world awaits us!
The intensity, as was in each of the three of us, is in yellow!
In my heart forever.........

Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

We're threading hope like fire

Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by y
our side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This
disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


"The degree of our enlightenment is the degree of passion that we will have for the whole world." ~The Greystone Mandala


"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." ~ Winston Churchill






Kant: "We are not rich by what we possess, but what we can do without."


"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires." ~ Paulo Coelho
“It is not the critic who counts,not the man who who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt

TECHNOLOGY..........

In “Conversations with God”, by Neale Donald Walsch, there is a warning I think of. I refer to it as the Atlantis passage, and I've quoted it a few times before." As I have said, this isn't the first time your civilization has been at this brink,"

God tells Walsch. "I want to repeat this, because it is vital that you hear this. Once before on your planet, the technology you developed was far greater than your ability to use it responsibly. You are approaching the same point in human history again. It is vitally important that you understand this. Your present technology is threatening to outstrip your ability to use it wisely. Your society is on the verge of becoming a product of your technology rather than your technology being a product of your society. When a society becomes a product of its own technology, it destroys itself."

INTUITION

The power of knowing immediately and without conscious reasoning; something known or understood at once.

So long ago, he said, "to be, or not to be...".





To Jennifer, My Daughter: "Forever and Always, and Bigger Than the Sun!"

"FORGIVEN?"

"How does one know if she has forgiven him? She tends to feel sorrow over the circumstances instead of rage. She tends to feel sorry for the person, rather than angry with him. She has nothing left to say about it at all."
~Clarissa Pinkola Estes ~

Courage To Change: To Seek Unknown Potential

It takes great courage to change from what is known and comfortable, to what is new and fresh. That which is unknown often contains our greatest potential. To seek our potential by risking change is the path of true greatness...the path of heroism. Such action brings great favor and untold blessings."

The Ultimate Spiritual Practice

The ultimate spiritual practice, as I teach it, is facing everything and avoiding nothing.

When you truly face everything and avoid nothing, you will no longer be afraid to stand tall—before your own conscience, before others, before God. This is because you are no longer hiding anything from yourself.

Through this noble practice, you will cultivate integrity and discover the kind of soul-strength that only comes from fearlessly facing the truth. The instinctive defense mechanisms that the ego hides behind will crumble, and your self and soul will become a transparent vehicle through which the evolutionary impulse can work in this world.

My Honor Code

Essentially, I repost articles which I find of interest, be they political, psychological, parenting guidelines, nutrition, etc. Any that I post are the result and leanings, of my views subsequent to years of parenting; and 20 years of clinical/therapeutic work with families, especially children and youth. I provide the source references, as well as some links to the original works. Information provided on this site is meant to complement, and not replace, any advice or information from a medical health professional. As a qualified mental health professional, I try to remain scrupulous about the efficacy of articles I might present, often in the way of comment. In addition, while I have a number of mentors, spiritual and otherwise, I nevertheless respect each person's need to have their own, i.e., you may see my enthusiasm for someone, but they are certainly, and hardly, the only one who has this knowledge. In addition, you will observe that I may paste two contradictory articles. I still respect your intelligence, and capacity for discernment.


"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
