A long sleep

Yet again, a long silence has fallen, and it's as though I have woken from a deep slumber in a very dark cave... I think each of us go through periods of time in our lives where we are unaware. Where our minds and bodies close down for a rest. Sometimes it's difficult to wake up again, and for me, it took making some big changes to be able to finally open my eyes and be where I want to be. But I got there it seems. I am finally fulfilling a lifelong dream, and I know that though at the time the deep sleep seemed to be a waste of time, I wouldn't have got to this place without it.
So if it seems as though you are sleepwalking, as though your eyelids are so heavy you couldn't possibly keep them open, don't fight it. Go with the flow, even if it's slow and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Because it is necessary. But make sure you surround yourself with people who understand this, because when the time is right, they will help you to wake up again.

Ask and it is given...

Hello all, it's funny how when I started this blog in August, I was totally fired up, and suddenly yesterday I realised I had forgotten all about it! Well, after much memory searching ( could not remember my password!) I've finally logged in, and want to say something about a brilliant book I am currently reading. My friend has read most of the books by Esther and Jerry Hicks, and kept telling me how good they were. So I finally picked one up, and so far I am loving it. I am reading Ask, and it is given. I had assumed that once you've read The Secret and Cosmic Ordering, thats all you need to know, but I assumed wrong! The book is beautifully written, and several things made me sit up and take notice, one of them even comforted me so much that I feel a little less weight on my shoulders. The second part of the book has processes to try that help in the manifesting process, and there are several that I have already started to implement, and they're so much fun, that I actually remember to do them!! 

Having read quite a few books on the subject, I have developed my own theories on how we 'create' our own future, and I shared one of my tried and true practices with a close friend. I told her exactly how to word it, and made her write down exactly how she wanted a certain situation to play out, and though what she wanted seemed fairly improbable, she wrote it down, and believed in it 100%, and what do you know? Less than a week later, the situation turned out EXACTLY as she had written it down. 

We are in control of our own lives, all the time, no exceptions. We just don't always realise it :)

The world is changing...

No, this isn't the intro to the Lord of the Rings, though I do think the world is changing in dramatic ways.  You only have to look at the large number of movies made recently about paranormal, supernatural, and spiritual things to realise that people are becoming more aware of what life is about, and why we are here. You also only have to look at the many, many books in any bookstore, on the theme of self help, metaphysical and spiritual subjects, to realise that something is definitely changing. 

I've started this blog mainly as an outlet for my theories and ideas, but also for the things that I read and the experiences I have. If anything I say means anything to anyone out there, then I would love to hear your stories, ideas, thoughts, experiences... I believe that the more unified and connected we can all become in this world, the better chances we have of experiencing all the good things that we came here to experience.

I'm no expert on anything, all I have to offer are my thoughts and ideas and experiences, I don't think that everything I say is necessarily right, or, that is, right for everyone, because what's right for me, may not be right for others. But I believe that if something resonates with you, then it is because it is right and true for you. 

That's kind of what I was thinking of when I called this blog Organicism. I had no idea at the time that the word even existed - shame on me for not googling it first, I know! But the definition of Organicism that I found, isn't what it means to me. I was painting a wall the other day, and it occurred to me, out of the blue (the wall was cream though!) that we all have this incredible desire to do what is right, to follow something that is true. But how can we possibly do this when what is true for us, isn't always true for everyone? Religions are about people following a certain book or person who professes to know the truth, and for those people who follow that religion, that could be the truth for them. I hope that it is, and that they are not denying their own truth. Personally, I have never found a faith or religion that fully feels true to me. There have been parts that have resonated, there have been beliefs that I have adopted, and even some guidelines that I try to stick by. But I wouldn't call myself a christian, or a pagan, or an atheist, (though when I was younger I said I was an atheist - thats a whole different story though!) because I don't fit into any of those boxes. I have even read a lot on Holism, which is a movement that I am very interested in, but again, didn't quite fit. So anyway, I'm painting this wall, and the idea of Organicism pops into my head. And this is going to sound so cheesy, because it sounds like a byline to a bad, bad commercial, but the words: "The religion that grows with you." Also popped into my head, and I thought about it, and it made sense to me. An Organic religion would be one that was different for every person, because as we know, no two organisms are the same. It would be a religion that grew with each person, there would be no hard and fast rules, no book that you had to live by. The only rule I could think of that would be most needed is this: Be true to yourself. Sounds corny, I know, but how many of us are? How many of us just accept what we are told and don't think outside the box that someone tries to stuff us into? 

Well, this turned into a very long ramble, I will try to be more organised with my thoughts in the future! But it's a start, and I think that's sometimes the hardest thing - figuring out what to write on the blank page. 

There will be more. If you have stumbled upon this, please leave comments if you want to, and come back soon, I will write more.
