What you have done this week was exactly what we asked for. If you notice you’re doing more conversations inline with where you belong. As you step-up more fully into your place, more gets easier and more works better for you.We told you how much you would find love and joy in these experiences before you. Remember this, and don’t get lost in it. Trust and move forward and allow this deeper truth to step forward through you, always asking for the Holy Spirit!I know I’m so very blessed. I know who I am and know what I can do and share. It’s really remarkable to see what shows-up and what I have before me. I’m always surprised about the timing and experience before me. I wonder about it, and really wonder what could be next. And I simply share my truth and trust what’s before me, I mean I even bought lotto tickets last week . . . . selecting my own numbers!
What happened on Wednesday?
I know it was weird. One of the guys in the Welcome Team presented his Witness Words for us! And I heard he was born the same time as my daughter. And then I got a message from her about Her daughter who had her first day in first grade. It wasn’t really any big deal, as I was just so tired as it was after the sun started going down and I had been up awake since 2am. . . . Yes listened and struggled to keep my eyes open late at night.
Anyway the next day I felt like I needed to invite the guy to a healing for his relationship with his wife. Their relationship had crashed and burned when their house flooded with the hurricanes. I had talked to him several times before, knowing that I could help them and heal them. So I decide to send her a message. Something about the art and music sitting all around my room, called out to me. It was like something in my space would catch her attention and she would know she had to do it. 
Course, then I saw this GOD TALK note I found from Emily, when I moved into this house. I thought that might be the message for his wife. So I started to move this note into each picture I took. Like the back ground for the art and music included this GOD TALK notice. As I prepared my invite and insight for them, I realized that Emily had sent me pictures of Madison who was likely the same age now of when Emily wrote this note. Then I felt that maybe it was a message from Emily to them, or from Madison to their daughter?!?
Yes, of course then I had to send him all the pictures, including those of Madison. And It was actually Emily who was his same age. And of course I know whenever I See so many layers of synchronized experience, NO ONE believes me, and everyone thinks I’m making things up to con them. OH YEA, I remember that same morning I was looking for some old photos and saw photos of her Birth Certificate and Baptism and all. Course, now I had to include that too, since he has certainly heard too much gossip about me already.
So of course, yesterday I spent the day helping with another church event. And Lisette came in and I was SOOOO happy to see her and talk with her. Then her first question was about my house and whether I had rented-out my extra room yet. So of course I had to tell her about everything i had just done. I mean, I’m always so blessed and it hits me in spades. Just so much, so clearly and, so strongly at once . . . . So I told her I had to email it all to her and spent the next few hours fussing with my iPad trying to see if I could get it all together for her.
Of course, then I realized that the guy had edited and clarified my note to his wife, and included all the pictures and everything so it was so pretty. And I had to send it all to Dick, as we had missed our meeting this last week. . . Eeek, it feels like I have another Mother wanting to connect to me. .
What about this surprises you?I know it is always about your Word!
What if your connection and truths here, actually changes lives where they are able to accept and understand the deeper power and focus you share and understand.In the Word again and so strong of course. And it’s more incredible than ever. You see this morning I realized I started a new set of classes at St Pete College and it was time for me to step up into WHO I AM and WHAT I DO. Which means I jumped up at 2am, toked my pipe, did my weights, worked and ate. Then biked to the beach to pull out the sun and go swimming. As I jumped in I noticed another guy sitting halfway down the pier. I swam for a while and then went almost to the end to climb out.
As I passed the guy, he asked how the water was. Oh just great, warm, but still great to swim. And so I walked down to my bike and started getting ready to go. And then I had this funny feeling that I knew this guy. So as I got my bike together to leave I watched him get up to leave. I kept trying to remember of think about his name as I got on my bike, and watched where he went so I could catch him. Of course, just as he walking into the bathroom, I remember “Leonard” . . . So I biked over and called his name into the bathroom.
I was right. Course he didn’t recognize me. But when I said EW, he knew exactly who I was. We chatted a bit and agreed we needed to meet again. So I biked off and stopped to pick-up mango seeds. Soon he biked up to me again. We chatted some more and he decided to bike with me to my house since it was essentially on the way to his house anyway. Yes, he lives over by Mazzaros across from Home Depot, so essentially a mile away.
More incredible than anything was that he asked how I got here, since he had been to my house in Seminole Heights. So I went through the whole story about Covid and all the rest, essentially my full-witness discussion that i had just prepared anyway. . . And RECORDED IT! Lol. . . And then sent it to Kevin, Dick, Lissette, Jim and Alex. . . Now, I listened to it three times already.
What a strong phrase to copy and paste throughout your blog this week Each time you open adn read this line “What if your connection and truths here, actually changes lives where they are able to accept and understand the deeper power and focus you share and understand. What if that's what this is all about.” You never want to touch it or edit it. . . Of course the good Lord shared words and insights with you and editing that just never seems appropriate. However, you are in an active dynamic experience here, where each new expression can be equally as vital and inspiring.
I am always ready for anything and completely surprised. Yes I finally realized how you love surprises because it brings up the level of Joy and Bliss. Of course, the more fruit of the spirit the better. So of course we all want more and more.

Lay your body down. This freedom song is marching on. You raise our flag..,. The war is over love and is one!!! OK so when I flashed. I prepared a jar of coconut juice for Frank. Actually, I prepared it for myself and realized I needed to give it to Frank. Then I considered what Frank loves. And I flashed to a picture of it. So now I can open up the picture here with you. Purple jar, white lid. The lid was made out of nice hardwood.
Perfect, smooth, beautiful wood. I could see him imagining his own design on top of it already. The jar was half full of coconut. Fill it up with Herb water. Put the lid on and shake it. Poor your glass of juice. Enjoy. Oh it’s so funny how fast things always grow and shift in the flashing. . . .

I I got up in the middle of the night because I couldn’t sleep and I am filing for a time extension and they peel peel. It was kind of weird because I brought out all the issues that I recognized and complained about having to respond to their incompetence requesting time to address everything. I was surprised It was excepted and listed the next day. I know I have to call him and make sure that it is addressed! Then I went to Teach Lynn’s course and she came through online or did the lecture. Yes, I actually sent the zoom on the big screen. And then I did the exercises with everybody in the class. I was really impressed with how much the class did. And I complimented Lynn everything came together. Course then I realized that I could do all her classes the same way if she wanted me to.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola's discernment of spirits is a process for understanding the movements of one's soul to determine whether they come from the good or evil spirit. The specific steps and commentary differ depending on a person's spiritual state: whether they are progressing from sin toward God or are already striving to grow in holiness.
The process for those struggling with sin
For those moving from sin toward a better life, the good and evil spirits act in contrary ways. The steps for discernment are: Recognize how the evil spirit deceives. For people caught in mortal sin, the enemy offers "apparent pleasures" and "sensual delights" to make sin seem desirable and keep them captive.
Recognize how the good spirit calls. God, on the other hand, stirs the conscience through reason, pricking and biting it to awaken a person from their sinful state. This feeling of guilt is a grace that can help break the cycle of sin and move a person toward freedom.
Identify the call to change. A person who begins to live a more virtuous life will notice the spirits' tactics reverse. The good spirit will bring peace and quiet, while the evil spirit will bring sadness, obstacles, and false reasons to quit.
The process for those growing in holiness
For those dedicated to a virtuous life, the process is more focused on distinguishing between spiritual consolation and desolation.
Step 1: Become aware of your spiritual state
Pay attention to the inner stirrings of your heart, mind, and emotions. You must accurately determine if you are in a state of consolation or desolation to apply the correct rules for action. Spiritual Consolation: An interior movement in the soul that increases faith, hope, and charity. It leads to peace, quiet, and a burning love for God. Consolation can also be shedding tears out of sorrow for one's sins or the sufferings of Christ.
Spiritual Desolation: The opposite of consolation. It is characterized by darkness of soul, disturbance, agitation, sadness, and a feeling of separation from God. It leads to a decrease in faith, hope, and love.
Step 2: Understand and respond to consolation
When experiencing consolation, St. Ignatius advises a particular response to both deepen your gratitude and prepare for the future. Reflect with humility: Remember that consolation is a gift from God, not something you earned. Humbly acknowledge your dependence on God's grace.
Prepare for desolation: Think about how you will persevere spiritually when desolation inevitably returns. Review the rules for desolation so they are fresh in your mind.
Step 3: Understand and resist desolation
When in desolation, the evil spirit uses false reasoning and agitation to disrupt your spiritual progress. Stand firm and do not change. During desolation, do not make any major decisions or change resolutions you made during a time of consolation. The evil spirit's counsels cannot be trusted to decide rightly.
Actively resist. Work against desolation by increasing your prayer, meditation, examination of conscience, and penance. Even faint prayer or crying out to God works against the movement of desolation.
Be patient. Endure the trial patiently, remembering that consolation will eventually return. You can draw strength from knowing that God is with you, even if you don't feel his presence.
Examine the cause. Consider the reasons God permits desolation, which can include your own spiritual laziness, being tested by God, or being humbled to remember that consolation is a gift.
Step 4: Analyze the tactics of the evil spirit
Ignatius provides additional rules to help believers recognize the unique methods of the evil one, particularly when advancing spiritually. Like a bully: The enemy is weak against a strong, vigorous will. He will flee when met with a bold and unwavering front. The moment you show fear, his ferocity increases.
Like a secret lover: The enemy wants his evil suggestions to be kept secret and unrevealed. Confession and discussing your temptations with a spiritual director will thwart his plans.
Like an attacking commander: The enemy will attack you at your weakest and most vulnerable spot. Identifying your personal spiritual weaknesses allows you to preemptively fortify yourself.
Step 5: Practice the Daily Examen
To become more attuned to these movements, St. Ignatius recommends praying the Examen daily. Become aware of God's presence.
Review the day with gratitude.
Pay attention to your emotions, noting the times you felt consolation and desolation.
Choose one feature of the day to pray about and reflect on your response.
Look toward tomorrow, resolving to cooperate more with God's grace.
Divine commentary and context
Ignatius' rules were not written as a set of logical steps but were distilled from his own spiritual journey and recorded in his Spiritual Exercises. The core principles are founded on these divine truths: God communicates directly with us. The rules are predicated on the belief that God communicates with us through our thoughts, feelings, and desires.
A personal love relationship with God is the context. Discernment is only possible within a loving relationship with God. Our desire to please and serve God is the motivation for the entire process.
It assumes a state of spiritual combat. The process acknowledges that spiritual warfare is real and that interior struggle is a normal part of the Christian life. The good and evil spirits contend for the soul.
Interior freedom is the goal. The process is designed to help us overcome attachments, biases, and selfishness that prevent us from generously following God's will. The ultimate goal is not just to make a good decision, but to achieve a deep and lasting union with God.
