The last few days have been just overflowing with Evidence of the Reality of One Love, One Mind, One Consciousness, One Intelligence.

Here's One from today -

My focus this week has been Order and Completion.  It's "Clean Up Week" around here.  So I had a point of view that this meant something like – clean up your desk, organize your files, get ready for tax season, collect your 'cheat sheets' so that you have all of the basic rules of tax filing at your fingertips – you know, stuff like that.

But yesterday, something kept saying "Purpose" to me.  No, gotta focus on Order and Completion. (I have a tendency to get distracted, and I'm never sure whether it's an angel idea or a distraction.)  And I did focus on Order and Completion.  While I was focusing on tasks, I also did some listening to the various videos and presentations I have received over the holidays and not taken the time to listen to because I was celebrating with my family.

This morning was all new emails.  I had successfully opened and addressed all of the "old" emails and presentations by the end of the day yesterday.

But before I opened my email, I had the idea to open Per U and listen to the Grace Note "Purpose." (On Per U because my player and speakers are still in the carry bag I used for tai chi class. I own all of the Grace Notes and generally play them on my Bose speakers for maximum enjoyment.)

My concession to Purpose, the thought from yesterday. "I'll listen to Grace Notes Purpose!"

First in the line of Evidence – Day 1 of The 7 Day Shift to Purpose by Beca Lewis – in my email box.  Discussing the difference between "personal" and "personal."

Second – Mulberry Press is publishing John Hargreaves' letters and put up a sample.  First page talks about God's Idea is the Ideal, and the job you do is the illustration.  Focus on the Ideal and not the illustration.  Purpose.  Everything you do, not just your job, exemplifies your Purpose.

Third – I get a couple of emails about the Intent Planner, how best to print, etc.  And what the various headers mean.  Which leads me to The Intent class starting next week, because the Intent class is what inspired the Intent Planner, and incidentally, ME.  Purpose?  To Serve Truth by Loving the Truth.

And it shall come to pass, that before they ask, I will answer.

Have a great day!

Love, Jet

I've gotten another symbol lately that I noticed finally – there appears to be air in our water line somewhere, which causes staccato pressure noises and interrupted water flow.  I haven't tried to resolve it; I just notice how annoying it is.  This morning, the coffeemaker made the same noise, and threatened to "blow the cover off" as it finished perking!

So I finally realized there is symbolism for me to be aware of!

I love it, too!

You're right Jet….gotta love it!

I had an interesting bit of info that I thought to share and wondered where to do so.  It is evidence and to me, very meaningful and inspiring. Thank you for writing this piece of evidence in order to awaken me to this natural venue for such sharing.

Several weeks ago the community manager sent out a message to the entire community reporting of some thefts that had occurred on a building site.  The message carried with it all of the typical sorts of precautions….typical if choosing to hang out in fear that is.  The idea of keeping all windows and doors locked, including cars, setting up alarm systems, installing lights that turn off and on when away from home, etc.  I read that message and immediately challenged each fear-filled precaution and dismissed it as not only untrue, but also unnecessary to live in fear.  I was certain to include this is true for everyone, every where and not just in my secure world.

This morning we received a follow-up message from community manager telling that the items had been found.  They were in the place they should have been and the property owner forgot where he'd put them….no thievery had taken place, ever.

The message continued with the same precautions as the first message included….keep doors and windows locked, install alarm systems, etc. simply because thieves could still break in and steal.  I was struck that there was no mention of grateful that stolen items had actually never been stolen, but remaining fearful because that "could" happen, so best to take those precautions. 

My choice is to know that even the sense of fear is unreal. Peace of mind does not come from locks on doors or burglar alarms but from within and the all-good One Source.  I am standing porter at my door of thought.

I love that the community is seeing evidence of honesty and awareness.  I'm grateful that the community manager chose to send updated message.  I will let go of thinking that fear remains…..anywhere.

I love going back and rereading posts!  Reminders, remembered thoughts, wonderful!

More Evidence – I am taking on some new projects in crochet.  I've started a massive project of making a bedspread.  It will require about 160 hexagonal pieces, made from cotton crochet thread.

I have a lot of crochet hooks inherited from family members.  I went through and looked for a #7, which is what the pattern called for.  Didn't have one, and didn't know that until after I visited the craft store.  Oh well……thought to go back to the store and decided not to.  Looked at the directions again after several days of delay, and in the margin, the woman who gave me the pattern had notated #6.  Well!  I have two #6 hooks!  So I got started.  Don't ask if I'm enjoying this.  Not yet would be my answer!  I'm still learning how to do the first piece – it's been done and undone several times!

So, this morning I'm hearing "clean your house."  Metaphorically speaking, thinking in my head.  But as I start to work, I have stuff in my way so I take this literally.  Instead of setting the stuff aside, I start to handle it and put it away where it belongs.  I pick some stuff up to organize and see a crochet hook on the table.  A #7!

Just in time to make some Christmas ornaments for the Thanksgiving Holiday Open House……

Evidence!

So yesterday I read a story from ancient Chinese lore about a rainmaker.  In the story there had been a terrible drought in the village, and the village was facing starvation and worse.  They asked a rainmaker to come.  He did.  He set himself up in an abode and carried on his business of living, doing everyday living type things.  About three days later it rained.  I loved the story!

In the afternoon I got in my truck and headed to the post office.  As I faced the barn I noticed Bucc was standing outside the shed looking very alert and rather alarmed.  He usually reserves that stance for being alone, so I wondered where Charley was.  I could see Rebel out in the pasture on his side, but Bucc couldn't tell that, and Charley's his buddy anyway.  They are generally inseparable.  I told myself, "Well, if he's still alarmed when I come back, I'll take a look.  All is Well."

As I drove up the road, I saw that in fact, Charley was still a ways away, across the brook.  Bucc had come back alone????  Oh, Dear!  Maybe I should turn around, nope, the rainmaker goes about his business and All is Well.  Charley looks fine out there, Bucc is not running around, All is Well.  Time to practice what I preach."

When I got back from the post office, I wandered out to the shed, and sure enough, Charley was back, Bucc was happy, and I hadn't lifted a finger to "fix" the situation!

A very short time ago would have seen me turning around, driving up to the far field, walking Charley back down either to the brook or down the road to get to Bucc – a half hour project at LEAST.

Rainmaker – "I am thinking of those people…who go about their ordinary business with no fuss, not ostensibly helping others, not giving advice, not continually and self-consciously praying for guidance or striving for mystical union with God, not even being especially noticeable, yet around whom things happen."  Irene Claremont de Castillejo, Knowing Woman
