I was shaking my head so much yesterday reading some of the comments on the day’s post in the Princess Sassy Pants private facebook group that my tiara kept flying off! At the risk of having to permanently super glue my tiara on I’m going to share a little more of my experiences today.
Imagine a little cocktail napkin. Take it into your mind and to the best of your ability try to imagine this napkin in the middle of the incomprehensibly large known universe that now includes 150 billion galaxies. Yes, galaxies, and this is only the “known” universe. (Remember that the known universe a few hundred years ago was very small and included a world that was flat.)
The cocktail napkin represents what we think we know and think we are so sure of. The infinite space represents what there is to know…hmmm. When we think we are sure of what we know, our mind, that cocktail napkin, is closed so nothing new can enter. But when we question what we think we know recognizing that maybe we don’t really know, or at the very least, don’t know all there is to know, our mind becomes open allowing that infinite space to rush in.
The bible talks about becoming as a little child. A little child naturally knows she doesn’t know, so she’s open to asking those she trusts do know to help her to understand. She is humble and open. When I read anything of a spiritual nature, I try to become as that little child even if I’ve had hundreds of direct experiences before that time, I try to come to that moment fresh and open, recognizing that no matter how much I might have experienced, it is the tiniest fraction of what there is to see.
The beautiful thing is that that infinite wisdom lives in each of us and just patiently waits for us to allow the tiniest crack in the little box of our certainty for it to rush in like light streams through the tiniest crack. The best way I’ve found to allow that light in is through prayer.
What I call prayer is more what people might refer to as mediation. It is a conscious, deep listening. A listening and an openness to hearing what is true from the all-knowing indwelling wisdom. It is creating a space in the tiny napkin of our beliefs that allows light to enter rather than telling Infinitude our thoughts, opinions, and what we think we need. I might use words but only to help me to open my mind to receive the inner impartations, and to keep my focus on listening rather than mind wandering.
It is in this place of deep listening not knowing that miracles live. There is literally nothing that is impossible here. It is here that I have seen broken bones and burns healed instantaneously as well as other physical ailments. I’ve seen relationships that seemed beyond repair utterly transform. I’ve watched needed items “show up” as if from know where and deep financial issues healed…the list goes on and on. The Light shines in and reveals that what we see as problems or darkness is nothing because God, by whatever name, is Love and is in fact Everything…always has been and always will be. This is the healing and the miracle. The changed appearances are the “added things” or the natural effect of the Light.
There cannot be all light and darkness. There can’t be more than everything nor can there be anything different from what is everything however much it can appear otherwise. This is what it means not to judge after appearances—not to judge, draw conclusions, or think we know anything based on how things appear to be, but rather allow the light to enter to teach us and show us through our actual experience what is really true beyond all appearances. That Light itself is the miracle that sets us free from all that we mistakenly think we know.
You my dear are our light when times are dark… forever grateful for your beautiful art work and posts. Bless your heart

Thank-you so much for these beautiful words. I know that you say is true as I have seen it in my own world. I have just healed from a host of physical symptoms- from heart disease to kidney failure, liver damage to diabetes in a few months time- using this same surrender to the unknown, the trust to the light. Thank-you again for your words. xo

No one is forcing us to believe in God or go to Heaven. We have free will and can make our own choices. Unfortunately, ther are so many who don’t believe and try to tear down our beliefs. I am not ashamed to be a Believer and I’m glad you aren’t either.🙏🏻✝

What cannot be known is actually more revealing that what can be known. Our knowledge can always increase & you can never be too smart.

One thing I have sadly learned Is there are so many hateful judgemental hurtful comments on the internet, does not matter what is posted. They crawl out from some dark damp place. Those people do not need an audience. They presume themselves experts, theirs is the only opinion. You just keep shining your beautiful light and those hateful mean people do not get what they want they crawl on to another spot on the internet hoping to stir up some misery. Your posts have helped me to have a good day, gotten me moving from a dark place and given me many smiles. I appreciate your art work your messages and shine that light as bright as possible. You have hundreds who feel as I do and we all surround you with light and hugs.
