Acting On Expectations

by Beca Lewis July 27, 2010

We have two bird feeders that we bring in at night because although they are technically critter proof, there is nothing that can stop a raccoon that has all night to skillfully pick out the seeds one at a time. In the morning, if I forget to put them out as soon as dawn breaks, [...]

Don’t Say “That’s Enough”

by Beca Lewis July 13, 2010

We have trained ourselves to live at a certain level of abundance and not to rise too much higher, or at least do it really, really, slowly, and in the timing and manner of our choice. This means that although infinite Love is providing ever-expanding abundance for every one of us in every moment, because [...]

What The Mind Knows

by Beca Lewis June 2, 2010

Sitting on the back porch, I kept glancing over to my right where I could see a brownish “haze” under the weeping spruce tree. It kept distracting me because I couldn’t figure out what it was. Thinking that the rain or the early morning light was doing something funny to my vision, I looked, and [...]

There Is Always A Way

by Beca Lewis August 27, 2009

Every morning I have a drink that begins with a cup of hot water. One morning our microwave broke so I thought, “Well I guess I won’t be drinking that this morning.” It took a few minutes before I realized that a microwave is not the only way to heat hot water, just the one [...]

Re-Set Perceptions To Re-Set Your Life

by Beca Lewis July 2, 2009

Core values, family history, worldview agreements, and personal habits all entwine together to present a picture we call our life. Our lives are like a movie that goes on and on because we go on about it. We stand in the middle of this movie, like characters on the screen, and try to change it [...]

The Illusion of Debt and Lack: A Star Trek Lesson

by Beca Lewis May 14, 2009

With a new Star Trek movie out I was reminded of a lesson I learned from Star Trek and how it relates to what appears to be going on in the world. It is the story of the power of illusion and how to see through it. Star Trek fan or not – yes I [...]

Sing – Knowing That You Have Wings

by Beca Lewis April 7, 2009

For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite poems has always been Victor Hugo’s, “Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.“ Isn’t this poem beautiful? It sings about the principle and [...]

Out Of Sight – Not Out Of Mind

by Beca Lewis March 23, 2009

We have long used the question, “What’s in your house” to not only discover what is currently available for use if seen differently, but to reveal what doesn’t need to be in our house and can be discarded or moved along to another. In the first glorious warm days of spring I was in our [...]

Layers Of Dreaming

by Beca Lewis January 8, 2009

I had a nightmare recently.  The core of it was I was trying to tell Del something and I couldn’t speak.  In the dream I knew I was dreaming so my “task” was to wake up.  I did.  But, I still couldn’t move.  I lay there thinking how will I live this way?  How will [...]

The Lie Of The One Lie

by Beca Lewis December 1, 2008

There is only one evil, only one lie. It has many faces. It plays many roles. It speaks many languages. But, it is just one lie. Although it may appear that we must deny each version of the one lie separately, the truth is, we only have to recognize this one lie for what it is to permanently disable it, and dissolve its power forever.

A Cycle of Graceful Abundance

by Beca Lewis October 6, 2008

Yesterday we saw a squirrel running by our door. He was intent upon burying the nut that he had just found. We can tell that winter is coming because instead of just using the “squirrel highway” in the trees, the squirrels are on the ground looking for and burying nuts.

The squirrels are doing what they always do, gathering and planting. Someone must have forgotten to tell them about the current financial crisis.
