Update on Jack, the Border Collie

When we heard from that wonderful couple who had a sheep farm, we were sure they would want to see Jack right away. We pictured how we’d drive Jack the their farm, and we’d make sure they would be good to Jack and that he would be able to run and work the sheep. We had the trip all set in our minds. I had even started a blog entry called Fare Thee Well, Jack. I imagined the photos of his new home and family.

Naturally, we had written back to the couple right away with glowing reports and photos of Jack.

Alas, the couple never responded. Not one word.

I wrote to them again. Lauren did too. Still not a word.

I wrote to the Midwest Border Collie Rescue, and not one word back from them either. They also had neglected to give a full description of Jack on their site. Just one sentence. “Stray found in Fairfield.” And only the first downtrodden photo of Jack. I sent Border Collie Rescue lots more pictures of Jack, Jack well-fed and his coat gleaming.

Not one word back from them either.

So I’m grumbling to myself about how irresponsible everyone is and so on.

I talked with my very intuitive friend about Jack, and she said that Jack will find a home when everyone is finally ready to let Jack go. When everyone is finally ready to let Jack go.

That leaves Lauren and me unless it’s Jack himself. If Lauren is holding Jack here, it’s on some deep subconscious level, for she has tried with all her heart to find Jack a good home. For his sake. It’s nice for us having Jack around, but I don’t think I’m attached. If I am, it’s also hidden from me.

The concept that we could unwittingly be holding up Jack’s placement was a breakthrough for me. How much do we factor in to what happens and doesn’t happen in our lives? How responsible are we?

I mean, I had been thinking the Border Collie Rescue and that farm couple weren’t doing all they should be doing, that they, in effect, were at fault.

God in Heavenletters™ keeps telling us to change our thinking, and this one sentence from my friend opened up a whole new way of looking at things for me. God has also said how powerful our thoughts are, and this, of course, must include thoughts we’re not aware of. God also has said: “We create the world as we walk through it.”

So, do we somehow create everything that happens to us? Do we call things to us? And do we block other things from coming to us, even when we want them?

Can this power of the subconscious also be true in a reverse way? Sometimes we’re not aware that we really want something, and then it falls in our lap, and we’re so happy and realize we always really and deeply wanted it. I think of God in my life. I was so oblivious for so many years, and then, holy-moly — God walked in.

Thanks for your Blog. I love Border Collies! I’ll say a prayer for Jack that the doors open for him , regardless . I remember reading in the channelled book, “God Calling” where Jesus tells the two women who recorded His messages to them, that our Father in Heaven values a little bird more than He does a palace!

Querida, that song “Holy Moly, God walked in!” rings true for me too!

I’m sure He’s saying, “Hey! I was always here. Now you see.”

One Love

I find it extremely unsettling when a course of action seems clear and is corroborated by many signs, and then is blocked with no explanation. Nothing to do but trust that you have followed directions as best you could.

Gloria, am I imagining this or do I remember you speaking of getting written messages from critters in the same way that you receive Heaven Letters? Even if not, would it perhaps be worth a try to see what Jack has to say, if anything?

Now that you remind me of it, dear Charles, there was a blog entry called Dogwriting.
http://www.godwriting.org/godwriting/dog-writing-counseling.htm

I remember there was a one-sentence that came spontaneously. It was very wise. It seemed to come from beloved Sunshine himself. I think it did, but I can’t say for sure that it did. Maybe it was God who sort of sent the message via Sunshine. What is sure, however, is that my daughter was able to accept the advice from Sunshine. It isn’t that she didn’t already know, and yet Sunshine’s simple words gave her that extra simplicity and push to do that which she had to do.

What you are suggesting certainly is viable. I have written somewhere that we could ask a doorknob, and get an answer. That must be so, for everything has consciousness.

The thing is — I am kinda used to asking God! I’ll see what happens with Jack for another week or so. If something hasn’t happened, then I may well ask God about Jack.

I’ll tell you one thing, dear one, we are very glad we didn’t enter Jack in the “system.” Even the best place couldn’t have given Jack the attention he needed. He might still be afraid of his leash, the car — everything.

But who can figure out all these things!

There definitely is such a thing as timing. Will sure keep you posted.

Lisa and One, thank you too for your beautiful insights.

“So, do we somehow create everything that happens to us? Do we call things to us? And do we block other things from coming to us, even when we want them?”

I would say we do. We block things (not purposely, but unknowingly)resulting from our shadow beliefs that we don’t yet realize we have.

An example of a shadow belief is say, you want prosperity, but you have a shadow belief that you don’t deserve it. Until you deal with the shadow belief of not being deserving of it, it won’t come. Once you deal with it, the dam breaks and it flows easily and almost magically.

I feel that we can over ride or overwrite our unconscious programing by owning our prosperity, claiming it regardless of outward appearances, economy etc. living it as a reality.

Thus it has no choice but to eventually show uP. Especially, if we don’t put attachments on the how and when it should show uP.

There’s the beautiful profound quote “The secret to making your dreams come true is to embrace them as reality”

When we do all the things we feel we can consciously, we are doing our best.

We can’t at the moment help those elements of our unconscious that may control us until we become more conscious.

That’s what gaining, or remembering more of our self awareness is about, is it not?

Perhaps with Jack it’s only a matter of a little more time that the rest of the puzzle will be put in place in it’s perfect time. We can do our best and let the Universe handle the rest of the details.

If by chance we need more awareness on the issue, our openness will allow it to flow in, in it’s perfect timing.

Gloria this is quite the fascinating concept to consider. I’ve given much thought to how we can more effectively and quickly bridge the gap of time or awareness that seems to elude us so much.

It seems to be one of the missing links to further our awareness in a more exceptional way.

I hope you will explore this more in your blog and perhaps HL. I have more to say on this too, but perhaps at another more expedient time.
