"A Light Heart"
(02:17:41) (WalksInSpirit) Ok, I have a joke for yall...
(02:18:21) (WalksInSpirit) A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
(02:18:21) (WalksInSpirit) "Is it true," she wanted to know,
(02:18:22) (WalksInSpirit) "that the medication you prescribed has
(02:18:22) (merri) aahhh A Light Heart!
(02:18:23) (WalksInSpirit) to be taken for the rest of my life?"
(02:18:24) (WalksInSpirit) "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
(02:18:24) (ron) i know...
(02:18:24) (WalksInSpirit) There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
(02:18:25) (WalksInSpirit) "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
(02:18:26) (WalksInSpirit) because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."
(02:19:18) (merri) is this the one by VanAuken, WIS?

(02:20:43) (WalksInSpirit) Cultivate the ability to see the ridiculous, and to retain the ability to laugh. For, know--only in those that God hath favored is there the ability to laugh,

(02:20:56) (WalksInSpirit) even when clouds of doubt arise, or when every form of disturbance arises. For, remember, the Master smiled--and laughed, oft--even on the way to Gethsemane.

(02:24:00) (Solya) don´t forget birthing mommy
(02:24:52) (WalksInSpirit) Teach us to let go of what weighs our hearts down in patience. “Create within me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a right, righteous, holy spirit within me.” In Jesus The Christ's Holy name we pray, Amen. (Nunwe)
(02:25:02) (Roz) Amen

(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit) SOUL LIFE ; A Light Heart - Egyptian Key by John Van Auken
(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit)
(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit) One of many wonderful scenes in ancient Egyptian art is “The Judgment,” sometimes called “The Weighing of the Heart.” It appears in the papyrus scrolls of The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
(02:26:33) (Firefox) very nice prayer WIS thank you
(02:26:44) (Solya) kalo
(02:26:50) (WalksInSpirit) You're welcome Firefox!
(02:27:16) (WalksInSpirit) The scene shows a deceased Egyptian named Ani being led to the chamber of his judgment. The god Anubis, the underworld guide, brings Ani before a huge scale. On one side of the scale, Ani’s heart is placed in a jar.
(02:27:43) (WalksInSpirit) On the other side of the scale is the feather of the goddess Maat. Observing this weighing of the heart are various other gods. Thoth (Hermes, to the Greeks) stands nearby with Ani’s Book of Life in his hands, ready to inscribe the outcome of this weighing.
(02:28:17) (WalksInSpirit) Horus, the god who was immaculately conceived by Isis to save the world from Egypt’s satan, waits to see if Ani’s heart is light enough for him to lead Ani out of the underworld through Osiris’ chamber and on up into the heavens. Isis and Nephthys stand behind Osiris, who is seated on his throne. All await the outcome.
(02:28:55) (WalksInSpirit) If one’s heart were heavy with regret, unfinished Earth business, or the pull of selfish desires, then the ancient Egyptian -- in this case, Ani -- could not enter the heavens. A beastly creature would eat his heart, and he would have to return to Earth to get a new heart, one light enough to rise into heaven (presumably by reincarnating and living a better life than before).
(02:29:08) (diane) i take it they're still waiting?
(02:29:48) (WalksInSpirit) Do we have light hearts? Or are we carrying around a lot of unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, the weight of broken dreams and promises, or whatever is weighing on us? The Cayce readings tell the story of an Egyptian high priest named Ra Ta who, at a very old age and in decrepit condition, was able to rejuvenate himself and live another one hundred years, in order to work on the building of the great pyramid of Giza.
(02:29:57) (merri) immaculately conceived (Horus) hmmm sounds familiar!
(02:30:41) (WalksInSpirit) When Cayce was asked how this priest rejuvenated his aged body, he answered: “through the casting aside of the years of toil and strife through which the body of Ra-Ta itself had passed.” In order words, by letting go of the things that had aged him. We tend to hold on to our pain, our suffering, our sacrifices, and our regrets.
(02:31:07) (Roz) unforgiveness?
(02:31:32) (WalksInSpirit) All of which age us and weigh our hearts down. Forgive and forget is a much healthier prescription.
(02:31:37) (WalksInSpirit) Yep
(02:31:50) (WalksInSpirit) Such rejuvenation was not done in one day or in one thought; it took Ra Ta seven years to fully rejuvenate himself. It will likely take us as long.
(02:31:50) (Solya) there´s nothing to forgive never has been Jesus gave for I´m Scorpio, can´t for give but I can give for lol
(02:32:22) (WalksInSpirit) How many of you really think that rejuvenation is possible? How do you think this can be accomplished? What possible daily steps do you think you could take to rejuvenate the body?
(02:32:29) (Roz) all cells in the body are replaced every seven years
(02:32:34) (Firefox) I thought the high priest Ra Ta was actually Cayce in previous lifetime?
(02:32:41) (Blu) He was FF
(02:32:46) (WalksInSpirit) He was, Firefox.
(02:32:48) (Firefox) thank you
(02:32:58) (Firefox) I thought so
(02:33:07) (diane) good question WIS, i'd say yes
(02:33:22) (Blu) Is anyone trying to seriously rejuvenate themselves?
(02:33:50) (Firefox) by cleansing body and mind
(02:33:52) (WalksInSpirit) A great way we have found to rejuvenate the body is talking to your cells.
(02:33:54) (ron) perhaps, some of us are doing such a thing, but more on an unconscious level
(02:33:58) (merri) well I'm trying the "letting go" steps
(02:34:01) (cc) not to rejuvenate but prevent and slow down the aging process
(02:34:20) (cc) I do that daily
(02:34:47) (Blu) Me too, I am seriously trying, but I want to point out that it must be fora spiritual reason. Ra Ta was doing iot for the purpose of building a temple
(02:34:49) (diane) nip, tuck? lol
(02:35:04) (merri) I'm finding there are many areas in life where this needs to be done
(02:35:17) (Solya) I´m learning to give for that way no grudges that helps rejuvenate.
(02:35:21) (Blu) I think it is going to take me longer than 7 years
(02:35:23) (diane) not just physically, right merri?
(02:35:24) (Roz) filling the body with light during a meditation regenerates the body
(02:35:28) (Solya) for give give for Jesus gave for
(02:35:29) (ron) because, people that are around me, even a doctor at the Va...has told me that i'm much younger than what i really am...and this has been noticed for all of my life...
(02:35:39) (Firefox) yes you can trian your cells to rejuvenate, I read a story of a little boy who had cancer that was taught to traing his cells to be cancer free and in time he was cancer free and the dr's were unbelieving
(02:35:40) (merri) right diane
(02:35:43) (cc) I think when you find joy in your heart the aging would slow down, no?
(02:36:19) (Blu) I have heard that too FF
(02:36:25) (Solya) Hey, I´m 63 and two months, enjoying every day of it just trying to get ready for that life review and not come back
(02:36:59) (Solya) is that a spritiural reason?
(02:37:03) (ron) i am considered to look around 10, 15, or more years younger than my age
(02:37:30) (Solya) Wow, ron, you´re looking great. Too young for me, though. lol lots of love
(02:37:31) (WalksInSpirit) Cool, Ron! People have told me I don't look as old as I am, either.
(02:37:43) (ron) well, my guess i around 10 years...:)
(02:37:44) (Firefox) he did it through meditation every day on his cells, picturing his cells being cancer free
(02:37:56) (Blu) I am trying my best to make him look older and me look younger!
(02:37:59) (merri) are you consciously taking steps to rejuvenate ron?
(02:38:09) (ron) thanks you solya, i appreciate that...muchly
(02:38:17) (cc) I just want to live a health long life with no physcial pain , I have so much to offer and live for
(02:38:36) (Firefox) I plan on living to be 120!!!
(02:38:44) (Blu) Very nice attitude CC, you truly reflect a light heart
(02:38:47) (cc) good goal FF
(02:38:58) (Firefox) And I will
(02:39:06) (cc) thanks Blu
(02:39:06) (Solya) not me wanna go home to astral be an angel of darkness angel of mercy take away the sorrow take away the pain
(02:39:12) (ron) not consciously...that is why i mentioned above that some must be doing such a thing unconsciously...
(02:39:13) (merri) mental attitude is also important
(02:39:20) (Blu) true
(02:39:34) (Solya) She will come dancing on a silver flame, she knows your name, she loves your sillly game lol lots of love
(02:39:38) (ron) lool diane
(02:39:41) (Roz) Dr shealy say every could live healthfully to 110
(02:39:53) (Blu) you know there are a lot of people living to 100 and more these days, just watch that guy on the morning show with all the smuckers birthday wishes
(02:40:09) (ron) i have thoughts about that...but would require some brief explanation merri
(02:40:38) (Blu) so go Ron, we are here to hear your thoughts
(02:40:52) (ron) ok blu
(02:41:03) (merri) your mental attitude towards life can help or hinder the ageing process ron
(02:41:06) (Firefox) belief in God helps people live longer as does living a good life
(02:41:33) (WalksInSpirit) Yep. It absolutely enriches life!
(02:41:46) (Roz) right diet, exercise, being productive
(02:41:59) (Firefox) eating right also
(02:42:04) (diane) having sex
(02:42:07) (diane) lol
(02:42:09) (Blu) lol
(02:42:10) (Firefox) of course lol
(02:42:12) (merri) lol
(02:42:13) (cc) LOL.....diane
(02:42:13) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Diane
(02:42:21) (Firefox) part of nature
(02:42:35) (Firefox) respecting the planet and everything on it
(02:42:37) (Blu) Cayce says don't just be good, be good for something!
(02:42:41) (ron) for one thing i think it has to do with my humor...i kid around even when i have things on my mind...but when there are real bad times, i do cry and go into sorrowful state of mind such as not knowing what will happen...but when that kind of pressure leaves,...i tend to get back to my silly self....and
(02:43:13) (Blu) and
(02:43:33) (Solya) ron, you can enjoy anything, including crying and pain just get into it enjoy it you really can and you´re doing a lot of that now congrats!
(02:43:59) (ron) i do consider myself to be a depressed personality...but my llaughter got me though life without any kind of medication...another words, i survived it all successfully and happily....and
(02:44:19) (Firefox) always keep the child within and never let it get away from you, laughter is the best medicine towards a happy heart, it makes ones soul sing
(02:44:49) (Solya) great! ron You do have a wonder filled sense of humor.
(02:44:57) (cc) good job ron
(02:45:00) (merri) if we can remember to release our sorrows, pain, regret, etc and move on, that is half the battle
(02:45:10) (Blu) right Merri
(02:45:34) (ron) another thing, is that i learned that i have to depend on God no matter what the outcome may seem to me...and i learned that things never got as bad as what was in my mind at the time..and, besides, all turned out better than ever was to be expected....and
(02:45:38) (Solya) I insist on experiencing them first. Then, I´ll let them go when they are all wrung out. lol lots of love
(02:45:44) (karen) so true ron, i got thru a pereid of depression through spirit.
(02:45:48) (merri) and makes for a "lighter heart"!!!!
(02:45:48) (Firefox) all part of life and good lessons but dont hold onto pain, sorrow, etc, have to exp it and let it go
(02:46:16) (Blu) Right FF!
(02:46:18) (Solya) experience it first, at least I will. Doesn´t leave any thing stuffed.
(02:46:33) (Blu) agree Solya
(02:46:35) (Roz) whe we realize that we are guided and Led by God every moment
(02:47:05) (Blu) right Roz, right over those stepping stones
(02:47:19) (diane) when we're in the boat and the storm is howling, He's there
(02:47:29) (Solya) In this society we are given a short !! list of what we are allowed to enjoy. If you dare expererience the loooong list, they´ll say you´re a masochist. Do you really care what they say if you are happy?
(02:47:36) (Blu) Amen Sister!
(02:47:39) (Firefox) we're all here to learn our individual lessons whatever they may be if we never went thru anything negative then we wouldnt need to be here yet again
(02:47:42) (karen) my steping stone was thru my spirit guide.
(02:47:52) (ron) that forgiveness to all persons that have passed thu my life was the healthiest key of all...i have forgiven all those that hurt me, humiliated me, insulted me and belittled me...and i thanked all who have helped me in my past, present and future help that is to come...and i try not to be impatient ....and
(02:47:58) (Roz) and being grateful for all experiences they are for our learning
(02:48:13) (Blu) true
(02:49:00) (Firefox) thats the spirit Ron bravo to you!!!
(02:49:14) (ron) this forgiveness is taken into consideration here in the chat rooms...for i have been causiously letting back those who have belittled me...but i do this causiously and also to leave a message that i'm not to be walked on...and
(02:49:39) (Solya) Jesus taaught us to give for, those who curse you pray for them give for Father, I give for . They know not what they do. Those who despitefully use us give prayer for them so many etc.s
(02:50:00) (ron) that is all i can think of at the moment...excuse some of my sentences
(02:50:23) (Blu) yes, the chat tends to be a good place to be confronted.....;-O
(02:50:28) (WalksInSpirit) Ron, I admire you.
(02:50:31) (diane) well said, ron...

(02:51:10) (Blu) ok, shall we let WIS continue?
(02:51:14) (Blu) anyone else?
(02:51:19) (merri) keep up the great attitude ron!
(02:51:35) (Firefox) I type so slow I can barely keep up with reading what's said and trying to type something in before though changes lol
(02:51:48) (Blu) Yes Ron, we will expect you to be hosting a chat at 150!
(02:51:56) (ron) i am not that good a person as you may think...i just try to do my best and try hard, all of my life, to do what is right...and thank God that he took care of me and has forgiven me for my mistakes...you see ask God for forgiveness, i must also forgive ALL
(02:52:00) (merri) lol
(02:52:18) (Blu) and that is the point of it all Ron
(02:52:22) (cc) there is no perfect human being yet ron
(02:52:24) (karen) forgiveness is everyhing
(02:52:39) (Blu) but we are so darn close to it in here!
(02:52:40) (Blu) LOL
(02:52:45) (cc) lol
(02:52:45) (karen) forgiving of self as well
(02:52:46) (Firefox) lol
(02:53:00) (Blu) Myself is the hardest person there is to forgive!
(02:53:11) (merri) agree
(02:53:26) (ron) sorry, i don't like to reaveal this much of my life...i tend to keep much to myself
(02:53:27) (Blu) ok, lets continue
(02:53:37) (WalksInSpirit) When in deep trance attunement to the Universal Consciousness, Cayce was asked to give some light on the word heart. He replied in this fashion: As in the physical body the heart is considered the source that impels life to all portions of the body.
(02:53:42) (karen) just like me ron
(02:53:46) (Solya) if you are sharing your deepest thoughts with others you are recovering rapidly.
(02:53:48) (Blu) do not apologize Ron, we are here to learn and teach each other
(02:54:04) (Firefox) I'm back
(02:54:07) (WalksInSpirit) In that sense, then, one seeks God’s help in creating a pure heart, a pure soul, a pure purpose in body and mind, that one may bring life, light, understanding, to those contacted -- as does the heart to the body. The heart is used to signify that purpose, that intent, that life. It represents an entity, a body, a mind; an imaginative being that through the conscious and subconscious or soul forces brings life to all contacted.
(02:54:11) (Solya) Good for you Ron you are getting better and better.
(02:55:15) (WalksInSpirit) As in: “Create within me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a right, righteous, holy spirit within me.”
(02:55:16) (karen) earth, hearth , heart ..........flame heat , a burning away of all things negative
(02:55:41) (Blu) I want to reflect on something here
(02:55:54) (Blu) an imaginative being that through the conscious and subconscious or soul forces brings life to all contacted.
(02:56:12) (karen) pyramid...........pyre =fire mid =in the middle.
(02:56:12) (Blu) do you see that word imaginative being?
(02:56:27) (diane) yup
(02:56:49) (Blu) I find that beautifully descriptive and freeing
(02:56:56) (Blu) what do you think?
(02:57:14) (merri) likening the heart to a being?
(02:57:15) (diane) it is what the heart represents
(02:57:27) (merri) or am I reading that wrong
(02:57:32) (Blu) I would never desribe myself that way, but I am going to begin to see myself in that light
(02:57:39) (Blu) yes Merri, you are right
(02:57:41) (Roz) imaginative being =self?
(02:57:54) (Firefox) God
(02:57:55) (Firefox) ?
(02:58:10) (Blu) something that is in the process of being created
(02:59:04) (ron) by the was, something that i left out...i, also, have spoken out of turn...letting my troubles get in the way...so , i tried to correct such mistakes...and also have sought forgiveness...and was forgiven...and, boy, do i appreciate that
(02:59:11) (ron) was=way
(02:59:36) (Blu) Beautiful Ron
(02:59:42) (Solya) you guys sure have forgiven me a lot. Don´t know if I could be so gracious. Thanks.
(03:00:12) (ron) (wiping forehead)
(03:00:13) (Blu) that is the last part of that sentence, bringing life to all contacted
(03:00:25) (Blu) ;-)
(03:00:45) (Blu) that is how we know if we are on the right path, if what we do brings life to others
(03:01:02) (karen) not hiding the light under a basket / come out and let it shine brightly...
(03:01:44) (WalksInSpirit) In his teachings about actions and reactions, he encourages us to achieve a light heart by helping others’ hearts be lighter: “Keep thy smile of encouragement to others; for it lightens the heart of many.”
(03:01:46) (Firefox) we should always try helping one another, being of service in someway, anyway
(03:02:05) (WalksInSpirit) In a reading for a member of the Work Readings Group in 1938, Cayce gave this insight and encouragement about keeping our light shining: “Thy light hath gone out before the darkness in the lives of many. Keep that light burning in thy own heart. Grow not weary in well doing.
(03:02:21) (WalksInSpirit) Let thy heart open to those things that bespeak the closeness of His walks, His talks with thee. Thy light of love and faith and hope and thought will not lose its reward in Him. For whom He loveth He comforteth, every one.”
(03:03:16) (WalksInSpirit) A light heart, both in weight and luminescence, is an important part of our personal spirituality. How do we achieve such? The answer is by being often in prayer, meditation, and doing good for others.
(03:03:38) (WalksInSpirit) In his parable of the seeds of the word of God sown along the roadside of life, Jesus says that the seeds that fall “in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.” A good heart in patience is the important point here.
(03:03:56) (Solya) When we criticize others, unless VERY carefully, we add to their already heavy burden. Let´s enourage others , I don´t believe in sending flowers to funerals. I´m going to tell you now how wonderful YOU each one, are to me. thank you
(03:04:10) (WalksInSpirit) Letting go of what weighs our hearts down is achieved with patience. We cannot jump straight out of our present condition into our hoped-for goal. We proceed from where we are to that goal, step by step, little by little, day by day, one situation at a time.
(03:04:22) (merri) it is so true you can lighten the heart of another with a smile or kind word, so pass it on!
(03:04:29) (Blu) Thank you Solya!
(03:04:37) (WalksInSpirit) Whether we have a week to live or many years, today is the time to begin to lighten and enlighten our hearts and the hearts of those around us. Cayce commented that “some grow old gracefully, some tolerantly, some fussily, and some very meanly.” The key factor may well be patience.
(03:05:16) (Solya) I grow old as the brat Jesus loves. ok?
(03:05:25) (Blu) LOL, OK
(03:05:30) (cc) lol
(03:05:31) (WalksInSpirit) In the Egyptian scene, Ani’s heart is indeed lighter than Maat’s feather, and he is allowed to enter the higher heavens. Let’s lighten our hearts and the hearts of those we contact.
(03:05:40) (merri) lol Solya, ok
(03:05:42) (WalksInSpirit) END
(03:06:03) (Firefox) Very nice thank you WIS
(03:06:23) (merri) TY WIS a good one to be reminded of

(02:18:21) (WalksInSpirit) A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
(02:18:21) (WalksInSpirit) "Is it true," she wanted to know,

(02:18:22) (merri) aahhh A Light Heart!
(02:18:23) (WalksInSpirit) to be taken for the rest of my life?"
(02:18:24) (WalksInSpirit) "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
(02:18:24) (ron) i know...
(02:18:24) (WalksInSpirit) There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
(02:18:25) (WalksInSpirit) "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
(02:18:26) (WalksInSpirit) because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."

(02:24:00) (Solya) don´t forget birthing mommy
(02:24:52) (WalksInSpirit) Teach us to let go of what weighs our hearts down in patience. “Create within me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a right, righteous, holy spirit within me.” In Jesus The Christ's Holy name we pray, Amen. (Nunwe)

(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit) SOUL LIFE ; A Light Heart - Egyptian Key by John Van Auken
(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit)
(02:26:23) (WalksInSpirit) One of many wonderful scenes in ancient Egyptian art is “The Judgment,” sometimes called “The Weighing of the Heart.” It appears in the papyrus scrolls of The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
(02:26:33) (Firefox) very nice prayer WIS thank you
(02:26:44) (Solya) kalo
(02:26:50) (WalksInSpirit) You're welcome Firefox!
(02:27:16) (WalksInSpirit) The scene shows a deceased Egyptian named Ani being led to the chamber of his judgment. The god Anubis, the underworld guide, brings Ani before a huge scale. On one side of the scale, Ani’s heart is placed in a jar.
(02:27:43) (WalksInSpirit) On the other side of the scale is the feather of the goddess Maat. Observing this weighing of the heart are various other gods. Thoth (Hermes, to the Greeks) stands nearby with Ani’s Book of Life in his hands, ready to inscribe the outcome of this weighing.
(02:28:17) (WalksInSpirit) Horus, the god who was immaculately conceived by Isis to save the world from Egypt’s satan, waits to see if Ani’s heart is light enough for him to lead Ani out of the underworld through Osiris’ chamber and on up into the heavens. Isis and Nephthys stand behind Osiris, who is seated on his throne. All await the outcome.
(02:28:55) (WalksInSpirit) If one’s heart were heavy with regret, unfinished Earth business, or the pull of selfish desires, then the ancient Egyptian -- in this case, Ani -- could not enter the heavens. A beastly creature would eat his heart, and he would have to return to Earth to get a new heart, one light enough to rise into heaven (presumably by reincarnating and living a better life than before).
(02:29:08) (diane) i take it they're still waiting?
(02:29:48) (WalksInSpirit) Do we have light hearts? Or are we carrying around a lot of unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, the weight of broken dreams and promises, or whatever is weighing on us? The Cayce readings tell the story of an Egyptian high priest named Ra Ta who, at a very old age and in decrepit condition, was able to rejuvenate himself and live another one hundred years, in order to work on the building of the great pyramid of Giza.
(02:29:57) (merri) immaculately conceived (Horus) hmmm sounds familiar!
(02:30:41) (WalksInSpirit) When Cayce was asked how this priest rejuvenated his aged body, he answered: “through the casting aside of the years of toil and strife through which the body of Ra-Ta itself had passed.” In order words, by letting go of the things that had aged him. We tend to hold on to our pain, our suffering, our sacrifices, and our regrets.
(02:31:07) (Roz) unforgiveness?
(02:31:32) (WalksInSpirit) All of which age us and weigh our hearts down. Forgive and forget is a much healthier prescription.
(02:31:37) (WalksInSpirit) Yep
(02:31:50) (WalksInSpirit) Such rejuvenation was not done in one day or in one thought; it took Ra Ta seven years to fully rejuvenate himself. It will likely take us as long.
(02:31:50) (Solya) there´s nothing to forgive never has been Jesus gave for I´m Scorpio, can´t for give but I can give for lol
(02:32:22) (WalksInSpirit) How many of you really think that rejuvenation is possible? How do you think this can be accomplished? What possible daily steps do you think you could take to rejuvenate the body?
(02:32:29) (Roz) all cells in the body are replaced every seven years
(02:32:34) (Firefox) I thought the high priest Ra Ta was actually Cayce in previous lifetime?
(02:32:41) (Blu) He was FF
(02:32:46) (WalksInSpirit) He was, Firefox.
(02:32:48) (Firefox) thank you
(02:32:58) (Firefox) I thought so
(02:33:07) (diane) good question WIS, i'd say yes
(02:33:22) (Blu) Is anyone trying to seriously rejuvenate themselves?
(02:33:50) (Firefox) by cleansing body and mind
(02:33:52) (WalksInSpirit) A great way we have found to rejuvenate the body is talking to your cells.
(02:33:54) (ron) perhaps, some of us are doing such a thing, but more on an unconscious level
(02:33:58) (merri) well I'm trying the "letting go" steps
(02:34:01) (cc) not to rejuvenate but prevent and slow down the aging process
(02:34:20) (cc) I do that daily
(02:34:47) (Blu) Me too, I am seriously trying, but I want to point out that it must be fora spiritual reason. Ra Ta was doing iot for the purpose of building a temple
(02:34:49) (diane) nip, tuck? lol
(02:35:04) (merri) I'm finding there are many areas in life where this needs to be done
(02:35:17) (Solya) I´m learning to give for that way no grudges that helps rejuvenate.
(02:35:21) (Blu) I think it is going to take me longer than 7 years
(02:35:23) (diane) not just physically, right merri?
(02:35:24) (Roz) filling the body with light during a meditation regenerates the body
(02:35:28) (Solya) for give give for Jesus gave for
(02:35:29) (ron) because, people that are around me, even a doctor at the Va...has told me that i'm much younger than what i really am...and this has been noticed for all of my life...
(02:35:39) (Firefox) yes you can trian your cells to rejuvenate, I read a story of a little boy who had cancer that was taught to traing his cells to be cancer free and in time he was cancer free and the dr's were unbelieving
(02:35:40) (merri) right diane
(02:35:43) (cc) I think when you find joy in your heart the aging would slow down, no?
(02:36:19) (Blu) I have heard that too FF
(02:36:25) (Solya) Hey, I´m 63 and two months, enjoying every day of it just trying to get ready for that life review and not come back
(02:36:59) (Solya) is that a spritiural reason?
(02:37:03) (ron) i am considered to look around 10, 15, or more years younger than my age
(02:37:30) (Solya) Wow, ron, you´re looking great. Too young for me, though. lol lots of love
(02:37:31) (WalksInSpirit) Cool, Ron! People have told me I don't look as old as I am, either.
(02:37:43) (ron) well, my guess i around 10 years...:)
(02:37:44) (Firefox) he did it through meditation every day on his cells, picturing his cells being cancer free
(02:37:56) (Blu) I am trying my best to make him look older and me look younger!
(02:37:59) (merri) are you consciously taking steps to rejuvenate ron?
(02:38:09) (ron) thanks you solya, i appreciate that...muchly
(02:38:17) (cc) I just want to live a health long life with no physcial pain , I have so much to offer and live for
(02:38:36) (Firefox) I plan on living to be 120!!!
(02:38:44) (Blu) Very nice attitude CC, you truly reflect a light heart
(02:38:47) (cc) good goal FF
(02:38:58) (Firefox) And I will
(02:39:06) (cc) thanks Blu
(02:39:06) (Solya) not me wanna go home to astral be an angel of darkness angel of mercy take away the sorrow take away the pain
(02:39:12) (ron) not consciously...that is why i mentioned above that some must be doing such a thing unconsciously...
(02:39:13) (merri) mental attitude is also important
(02:39:20) (Blu) true
(02:39:34) (Solya) She will come dancing on a silver flame, she knows your name, she loves your sillly game lol lots of love
(02:39:38) (ron) lool diane
(02:39:41) (Roz) Dr shealy say every could live healthfully to 110
(02:39:53) (Blu) you know there are a lot of people living to 100 and more these days, just watch that guy on the morning show with all the smuckers birthday wishes
(02:40:09) (ron) i have thoughts about that...but would require some brief explanation merri
(02:40:38) (Blu) so go Ron, we are here to hear your thoughts
(02:40:52) (ron) ok blu
(02:41:03) (merri) your mental attitude towards life can help or hinder the ageing process ron
(02:41:06) (Firefox) belief in God helps people live longer as does living a good life
(02:41:33) (WalksInSpirit) Yep. It absolutely enriches life!
(02:41:46) (Roz) right diet, exercise, being productive
(02:41:59) (Firefox) eating right also
(02:42:04) (diane) having sex
(02:42:07) (diane) lol

(02:42:10) (Firefox) of course lol
(02:42:12) (merri) lol
(02:42:13) (cc) LOL.....diane
(02:42:13) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Diane
(02:42:21) (Firefox) part of nature
(02:42:35) (Firefox) respecting the planet and everything on it
(02:42:37) (Blu) Cayce says don't just be good, be good for something!
(02:42:41) (ron) for one thing i think it has to do with my humor...i kid around even when i have things on my mind...but when there are real bad times, i do cry and go into sorrowful state of mind such as not knowing what will happen...but when that kind of pressure leaves,...i tend to get back to my silly self....and
(02:43:13) (Blu) and
(02:43:33) (Solya) ron, you can enjoy anything, including crying and pain just get into it enjoy it you really can and you´re doing a lot of that now congrats!
(02:43:59) (ron) i do consider myself to be a depressed personality...but my llaughter got me though life without any kind of medication...another words, i survived it all successfully and happily....and
(02:44:19) (Firefox) always keep the child within and never let it get away from you, laughter is the best medicine towards a happy heart, it makes ones soul sing
(02:44:49) (Solya) great! ron You do have a wonder filled sense of humor.
(02:44:57) (cc) good job ron
(02:45:00) (merri) if we can remember to release our sorrows, pain, regret, etc and move on, that is half the battle
(02:45:10) (Blu) right Merri
(02:45:34) (ron) another thing, is that i learned that i have to depend on God no matter what the outcome may seem to me...and i learned that things never got as bad as what was in my mind at the time..and, besides, all turned out better than ever was to be expected....and
(02:45:38) (Solya) I insist on experiencing them first. Then, I´ll let them go when they are all wrung out. lol lots of love
(02:45:44) (karen) so true ron, i got thru a pereid of depression through spirit.
(02:45:48) (merri) and makes for a "lighter heart"!!!!
(02:45:48) (Firefox) all part of life and good lessons but dont hold onto pain, sorrow, etc, have to exp it and let it go
(02:46:16) (Blu) Right FF!
(02:46:18) (Solya) experience it first, at least I will. Doesn´t leave any thing stuffed.
(02:46:33) (Blu) agree Solya
(02:46:35) (Roz) whe we realize that we are guided and Led by God every moment
(02:47:05) (Blu) right Roz, right over those stepping stones
(02:47:19) (diane) when we're in the boat and the storm is howling, He's there
(02:47:29) (Solya) In this society we are given a short !! list of what we are allowed to enjoy. If you dare expererience the loooong list, they´ll say you´re a masochist. Do you really care what they say if you are happy?
(02:47:36) (Blu) Amen Sister!
(02:47:39) (Firefox) we're all here to learn our individual lessons whatever they may be if we never went thru anything negative then we wouldnt need to be here yet again
(02:47:42) (karen) my steping stone was thru my spirit guide.
(02:47:52) (ron) that forgiveness to all persons that have passed thu my life was the healthiest key of all...i have forgiven all those that hurt me, humiliated me, insulted me and belittled me...and i thanked all who have helped me in my past, present and future help that is to come...and i try not to be impatient ....and
(02:47:58) (Roz) and being grateful for all experiences they are for our learning
(02:48:13) (Blu) true
(02:49:00) (Firefox) thats the spirit Ron bravo to you!!!
(02:49:14) (ron) this forgiveness is taken into consideration here in the chat rooms...for i have been causiously letting back those who have belittled me...but i do this causiously and also to leave a message that i'm not to be walked on...and
(02:49:39) (Solya) Jesus taaught us to give for, those who curse you pray for them give for Father, I give for . They know not what they do. Those who despitefully use us give prayer for them so many etc.s
(02:50:00) (ron) that is all i can think of at the moment...excuse some of my sentences
(02:50:23) (Blu) yes, the chat tends to be a good place to be confronted.....;-O
(02:50:28) (WalksInSpirit) Ron, I admire you.
(02:50:31) (diane) well said, ron...
(02:50:32) (Blu) That was wonderful Ron!
(02:50:42) (Solya) Thank you , ron. As always your communicatin is so meaningful to me. Full of things I can use. Thank you. lots of love lol
(02:50:50) (Blu) I am happy to be in a room of such good company!
(02:50:51) (karen) awesome ron
(02:51:10) (Blu) ok, shall we let WIS continue?
(02:51:14) (Blu) anyone else?
(02:51:19) (merri) keep up the great attitude ron!
(02:51:35) (Firefox) I type so slow I can barely keep up with reading what's said and trying to type something in before though changes lol
(02:51:48) (Blu) Yes Ron, we will expect you to be hosting a chat at 150!
(02:51:56) (ron) i am not that good a person as you may think...i just try to do my best and try hard, all of my life, to do what is right...and thank God that he took care of me and has forgiven me for my mistakes...you see ask God for forgiveness, i must also forgive ALL
(02:52:00) (merri) lol
(02:52:18) (Blu) and that is the point of it all Ron
(02:52:22) (cc) there is no perfect human being yet ron
(02:52:24) (karen) forgiveness is everyhing
(02:52:39) (Blu) but we are so darn close to it in here!
(02:52:40) (Blu) LOL
(02:52:45) (cc) lol
(02:52:45) (karen) forgiving of self as well
(02:52:46) (Firefox) lol
(02:53:00) (Blu) Myself is the hardest person there is to forgive!
(02:53:11) (merri) agree
(02:53:26) (ron) sorry, i don't like to reaveal this much of my life...i tend to keep much to myself
(02:53:27) (Blu) ok, lets continue
(02:53:37) (WalksInSpirit) When in deep trance attunement to the Universal Consciousness, Cayce was asked to give some light on the word heart. He replied in this fashion: As in the physical body the heart is considered the source that impels life to all portions of the body.
(02:53:42) (karen) just like me ron
(02:53:46) (Solya) if you are sharing your deepest thoughts with others you are recovering rapidly.
(02:53:48) (Blu) do not apologize Ron, we are here to learn and teach each other
(02:54:04) (Firefox) I'm back
(02:54:07) (WalksInSpirit) In that sense, then, one seeks God’s help in creating a pure heart, a pure soul, a pure purpose in body and mind, that one may bring life, light, understanding, to those contacted -- as does the heart to the body. The heart is used to signify that purpose, that intent, that life. It represents an entity, a body, a mind; an imaginative being that through the conscious and subconscious or soul forces brings life to all contacted.
(02:54:11) (Solya) Good for you Ron you are getting better and better.
(02:55:15) (WalksInSpirit) As in: “Create within me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a right, righteous, holy spirit within me.”
(02:55:16) (karen) earth, hearth , heart ..........flame heat , a burning away of all things negative
(02:55:41) (Blu) I want to reflect on something here
(02:55:54) (Blu) an imaginative being that through the conscious and subconscious or soul forces brings life to all contacted.
(02:56:12) (karen) pyramid...........pyre =fire mid =in the middle.
(02:56:12) (Blu) do you see that word imaginative being?
(02:56:27) (diane) yup
(02:56:49) (Blu) I find that beautifully descriptive and freeing
(02:56:56) (Blu) what do you think?
(02:57:14) (merri) likening the heart to a being?
(02:57:15) (diane) it is what the heart represents
(02:57:27) (merri) or am I reading that wrong
(02:57:32) (Blu) I would never desribe myself that way, but I am going to begin to see myself in that light
(02:57:39) (Blu) yes Merri, you are right
(02:57:41) (Roz) imaginative being =self?
(02:57:54) (Firefox) God
(02:57:55) (Firefox) ?
(02:58:10) (Blu) something that is in the process of being created
(02:59:04) (ron) by the was, something that i left out...i, also, have spoken out of turn...letting my troubles get in the way...so , i tried to correct such mistakes...and also have sought forgiveness...and was forgiven...and, boy, do i appreciate that
(02:59:11) (ron) was=way
(02:59:36) (Blu) Beautiful Ron
(02:59:42) (Solya) you guys sure have forgiven me a lot. Don´t know if I could be so gracious. Thanks.
(03:00:12) (ron) (wiping forehead)
(03:00:13) (Blu) that is the last part of that sentence, bringing life to all contacted
(03:00:25) (Blu) ;-)
(03:00:45) (Blu) that is how we know if we are on the right path, if what we do brings life to others
(03:01:02) (karen) not hiding the light under a basket / come out and let it shine brightly...
(03:01:44) (WalksInSpirit) In his teachings about actions and reactions, he encourages us to achieve a light heart by helping others’ hearts be lighter: “Keep thy smile of encouragement to others; for it lightens the heart of many.”
(03:01:46) (Firefox) we should always try helping one another, being of service in someway, anyway
(03:02:05) (WalksInSpirit) In a reading for a member of the Work Readings Group in 1938, Cayce gave this insight and encouragement about keeping our light shining: “Thy light hath gone out before the darkness in the lives of many. Keep that light burning in thy own heart. Grow not weary in well doing.
(03:02:21) (WalksInSpirit) Let thy heart open to those things that bespeak the closeness of His walks, His talks with thee. Thy light of love and faith and hope and thought will not lose its reward in Him. For whom He loveth He comforteth, every one.”
(03:03:16) (WalksInSpirit) A light heart, both in weight and luminescence, is an important part of our personal spirituality. How do we achieve such? The answer is by being often in prayer, meditation, and doing good for others.
(03:03:38) (WalksInSpirit) In his parable of the seeds of the word of God sown along the roadside of life, Jesus says that the seeds that fall “in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.” A good heart in patience is the important point here.
(03:03:56) (Solya) When we criticize others, unless VERY carefully, we add to their already heavy burden. Let´s enourage others , I don´t believe in sending flowers to funerals. I´m going to tell you now how wonderful YOU each one, are to me. thank you
(03:04:10) (WalksInSpirit) Letting go of what weighs our hearts down is achieved with patience. We cannot jump straight out of our present condition into our hoped-for goal. We proceed from where we are to that goal, step by step, little by little, day by day, one situation at a time.
(03:04:22) (merri) it is so true you can lighten the heart of another with a smile or kind word, so pass it on!
(03:04:29) (Blu) Thank you Solya!
(03:04:37) (WalksInSpirit) Whether we have a week to live or many years, today is the time to begin to lighten and enlighten our hearts and the hearts of those around us. Cayce commented that “some grow old gracefully, some tolerantly, some fussily, and some very meanly.” The key factor may well be patience.
(03:05:16) (Solya) I grow old as the brat Jesus loves. ok?
