Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed

Posted on by

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.
I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never
became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a
result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical
details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end.
That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Louise Hay gives brief insights for more joyful living.

An inborn core of health exists within every person. Over the years, the core becomes covered by layers of conditioning and distortion from negativities in life. These layers are expressed into the body, mind, emotions, and into the world.

Discovery that each of us has Perfect Moments – the experienced essence of Pure Energy – provides a solid starting source and reference point, natural in each of us.  You can easily expand this pure energy into beneficial RESULTS. Because this is inborn, the clarity easily becomes a natural expression of us flowing into positive, powerful, healthy and creative ways of living.

Core Health is a non-cultural, non-religious expansion of our inborn core of health. This innovative process moves beyond “treating symptoms” and beyond “tapping” on acupoints to Truly Freeing each individual by internal energetic decisions: Deeply ~ Thoroughly ~ Quickly.

Walking Meditation

Posted on by

By Neale Donald Walsch

There are many people who find it extremely difficult to sit in silent meditation. For them, it may seem as if the “art of meditation” is something that is lost to them. I felt this way for a long time, because I am an impatient person by nature, and sitting in silent meditation was not a thing I tolerated well. Then someone introduced me to Walking Meditation, and everything changed for me around the idea of “meditation.” Suddenly, it was something I could do.

The first thing that happened when I learned about Walking Meditation is that my whole idea about what meditation IS completely vanished, to be replaced by a much more clear and concise picture of what was going on. For me, meditation always meant “clearing the mind of everything,” leaving the space for “the emptiness” to appear, so that I could move in consciousness into “the nothingness that is The All…”, or something like that.

What I was supposed to be trying to do, I thought, was “empty my mind.” I was supposed to try to sit in one place, close my eyes, and “think of nothing.” This made me crazy, because my mind never turns off! It is always thinking, thinking, thinking of something. So I was never very good at sitting with my legs crossed, closing my eyes, and concentrating on The Nothing. Frustrated, I hardly ever meditated-and envied those who said they did (although I secretly wondered whether they really did, or simply went through the motions, doing no better than I was able to do).

Then a master teacher in my life told me that I had entirely the wrong idea of what meditation was about. Meditation, she said, was not about emptiness, it was about focus. Instead of trying to sit still and think about nothing, she suggested that I do a “walking meditation,” and move about, stopping to focus on specific things that my eyes would light upon.

“Consider a blade of grass,” she would say. “Consider it. Look at it closely. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance? What is its size, compared to you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”

Then, she said, “Experience the grass in its Completeness. Take off your shoes and socks and walk on the grass in your bare feet. Think of nothing else but your feet. Focus your attention on the bottom of your feet and consider immensely exactly what you are feeling there. Tell your mind to feel nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming data except the data coming from the bottom of your feet. Close your eyes, if this helps.

“Walk slowly and deliberately, allowing each slow and gentle step to tell you about the grass. Then open your eyes and look at all of the grass around you. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about the grass, coming from your eyes and feet.

“Now focus on your sense of smell, and see if you can smell the grass. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about the grass coming from your nose, your eyes, and your feet. See if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you will experience the grass as you may never have experienced it before. You will know more about grass than you ever knew before, at a deeper level. You will never experience it in the same way again. You will realize that you have been ignoring the grass your whole life.”

Then, my master teacher said, do the same thing with a flower. “Consider it. Look at it closely. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance? What is its size, compared to you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”

Then, she said, “Experience the flower in its Completeness. Bring it to your nose and smell it once more. Think of nothing else but your nose. Focus your attention on your nose and consider immensely exactly what you are experiencing there. Tell your mind to experience nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming data except the data coming from your nose. Close your eyes, if this helps.

“Now focus on your sense of touch, and touch the flower carefully. Touch the flower at the same time as you smell the flower. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about the flower coming from your fingertips and your nose. Now, open your eyes and look closely at the flower. See if you can still smell the flower, now that it is far enough away for you to look at it and touch it. See if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you will experience the flower as you may never have experienced it before. You will know more about the flower than you ever knew before, at a deeper level. You will never experience it in the same way again. You will realize that you have been ignoring the flowers your whole life.”

Then, she said, do the same thing with a tree. Walk over to a tree and consider it. “Look at it closely. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance? What is its size, compared to you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”

And she said, “Experience the tree in its Completeness. Place you hands upon it and feel it totally. Think of nothing else but your hands. Focus your attention on your hands and consider immensely exactly what you are experiencing there. Tell your mind to experience nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming data except the data coming from your hands. Close your eyes, if this helps.

“Now focus on your sense of smell, and smell the tree. Continue touching the tree at the same time as you smell the tree. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about the tree coming from your fingertips and your nose. Now, open your eyes and look closely at the tree. Look up at it, and see if you can climb in consciousness to its top. See if you can still smell the tree, now that it is far enough away for you to look at it. Keep touching it. See if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you will experience the tree as you may never have experienced it before. You will know more about the tree than you ever knew before, at a deeper level. You will never experience it in the same way again. You will realize that you have been ignoring the treesyour whole life.”

“Now, step away from the tree and lose all physical contact with it. See if you can bring to your mind the experience of the tree as you stand and look at it from father away. Experience it completely. Do not be surprised if you can smell the tree, even from a distance. Do not be surprised if you can, in a sense, even `feel’ the tree from where you are. What has happened is that you have opened yourself to the vibration of the tree. You are `catching the vibe.’ See how far back you can step from the tree and still retain `contact.’ When you lose touch with the experience of the tree, move closer in, move back to it. See if this helps you regain contact.

“This exercise will help you develop your ability to focus your attention on whatever you want to experience at a heightened level.”

“Now, walk. Walk wherever you live. In the country, in the city, it does not matter. Walk slowly, but deliberately. And look around you. Let your eyes fall where they may. As your eyes find something, focus the fullness of your attention upon it. It can be anything. A garbage truck. A stop sign. A crack in the sidewalk, a pebble by the road. Look at it closely, right from where you are. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like, from where you are? What is its fragrance? Can you sense that from where you are? What is its size, compared to you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”

“Continue your walk. Pick out three things on your walk to consider in this way. This walk should take you at least a half hour. You cannot consider three things fully in less time, at first. Later, you will be able to consider something fully in just a moment, in a nonno-second. But now, you are just practicing.

“This is Walking Meditation, and what you are doing is training your mind to stop ignoring everything you are experiencing. You are training your mind to focus on a particular aspect of your experience, so that you may experience it completely.”

Practice Walking Meditation in this way for three weeks, my master teacher told me, and “you will never experience life the same way again.” Then, take the final step in Walking Meditation. Walk outside-or inside, for that matter. You can actually walk anywhere. From the bedroom to the kitchen will do. There is plenty to see, plenty to touch, plenty to experience. You can spend three hours with the carpet alone-and “this time do not pick out any particular part of what you are seeing or encountering. Try to encounter all of it. Seek to embrace all of it. Attempt to focus on all of it at the same time.

“Take in the Big Picture. Close your eyes at first, if this helps. Smell what you are smelling, hear what you are hearing, feel whatever you are `feeling’ of the space around you. Then open your eyes and add sight. See everything you are seeing, and nothing in particular. See All Of It. Smell All Of It. Feel All Of It. If this begins to overwhelm you, refocus on a Part Of It, so that you do not lose your psychic balance.

“With enough practice, you will soon be able to walk into any space or place and begin to experience All Of It at some level. You have heightened your Awareness. You are raised your consciousness. You have expanded your ability to be Present, fully, in the Moment.

“Now, do this with your eyes closed and while you are sitting down, and you have Silent Mediation. Boom. It is as simple as that.”

Being Versus Having Potential

Posted on by

By Jennifer Hoffman

We all have potential, which is the limitless field of possibilities that we can create our life from. Our potential is the small voice of our heart which calls us to explore opportunities, to create a reality from a long held dream, to become the powerful, joyful person we know we can be. But unless we are able to step into our potential, it simply exists as a possibility in our life, something that we can have at some point in the future when we are ready to change. To embrace our potential we must be willing to ‘be’ whatever it is calling us to become.

Many of us are stuck at the point of having potential, we know that there is something better for us and a way to live that is happier than what we have, we just don’t know how to connect to it. Our fears, doubts, uncertainty and confusion stop us from taking the leap of faith that will propel us into a different future. Even if we are unhappy, living the life we know is better than stepping into something so uncertain and unknown that when we can’t find a solid foundation to step onto, we ignore its call.

But being our potential does not give any guarantees either. After all, it is potential, meaning that its form is shadowy at best. Because potential calls us to become, it means putting our dreams out in the open, exposing our heart’s desire to a critical, unforgiving world. What if we fail, what if no one likes us, what if we do not find any appreciation for our new self? What if we do not like what we have chosen? What do we do then? Do we make mistakes when we become our potential?

This is the critical point for potential, when we can separate ourselves from the belief that if someone approves of our potential, then we have made the right decision. Because once we step into our potential, we also challenge others to step into theirs. And they may be critical, but that is because they are receiving their own inner call to become their potential. If we could take one aspect of potential that calls to us and give it all of our effort, become what it is calling us to do, then we would take that first step and be on the path to allowing our confidence and trust lead us on a journey that would unfold into a life of being who we are from the soul level, embracing our power and giving ourselves permission to be the potential our heart knows is possible and true for us. Be the potential you know you have and allow your life to unfold for you in new, different, unknown, uncertain and miraculous ways.

Your Worst Enemy

Posted on by
Reply

The greatest enemies of success and happiness are negative emotions, of all kinds. It is negative emotions that hold you down, tire you out and take away all your joy in life. It is negative emotions, from the beginning of time, that have done more harm to individuals and societies than all the plagues of history.

One of your most important goals, if you want to be truly happy and successful, is to free yourself from negative emotions, and fortunately, this can be done, if you learn how.

The negative emotions of fear, self-pity, envy, jealousy, feelings of inferiority, and ultimately anger, are mostly caused by four factors. Once you identify and remove these factors from your thinking, your negative emotions stop automatically. When your negative emotions stop, the positive emotions of love, peace, joy and enthusiasm flow in to replace them, and your whole life changes for the better, sometimes in a matter of minutes, or even seconds.

STOP JUSTIFYING

The first of the four root causes of negative emotions is justification. You can only be negative as long as you can justify, to yourself and others, that you are entitled to be angry or upset for
some reason. This is why angry people are continually explaining and elaborating on the reasons for their negative feelings. However, if you cannot justify your negativity, you cannot be angry.

For example, a person is laid off from a job due to a change in the economy and declining sales in the company. However, the individual is angry with his boss for this decision and justifies his anger by describing all the reasons why his being laid off was unfair. He can even get himself so incensed that he decides to sue, or get even in some way. As long as he continues to justify his negative feelings toward his boss and the company, his negative emotions control him and
absorb much of his life and thinking.

However, as soon as he says, “Well, I’ve been laid off. These things happen. It’s not personal. People get laid off all the time. I guess I’d better get busy finding a new job.” His negative emotions vanish. He becomes calm, clear and focused on the goal, and on the steps he can
take to get back into the workforce. As soon as he stops justifying, he becomes a more positive and effective person.

REFUSE TO RATIONALIZE AND MAKE EXCUSES

The second cause of negative emotions is rationalization. When you rationalize, you attempt to give a “socially acceptable explanation for an otherwise socially unacceptable act.”  You rationalize to explain away or put a favorable light on something that you have done that you feel bad or unhappy about. You excuse your behavior or actions by creating an explanation that sounds good, even though you know that you were an active agent in whatever occurred. You often create complex ways of putting yourself in the right by explaining that your behavior was really quite acceptable, all things considered. This rationalizing keeps your negative emotions alive.

Rationalization and justification always require that you make someone or something else the source or cause of your problem. You cast yourself in the role of the victim, and you make the other person or organization into the oppressor, or the “bad guy.”

RISE ABOVE THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS

The third cause of negative emotions is an over concern or hypersensitivity to the way other people treat you. For some people, their entire self-image is determined by the way other people speak to them, talk to them or about them, or even look at them. They have little sense of personal value or self-worth apart from the opinions of others, and if those opinions are negative for any reason, real or imagined, the “victim” immediately experiences anger, embarrassment, shame, feelings of inferiority and even depression, self-pity and despair. This explains why psychologists say that almost everything we do is to earn the respect of others, or at least to avoid losing their respect.

NO ONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE

The fourth cause of negative emotions, and the worst of all, is blaming. When I draw the “Negative Emotions Tree” in my seminars, I illustrate the trunk of the tree as the propensity to blame other people for our problems. Once you cut down the trunk of the tree, all the fruits of the tree, all the other negative emotions, die immediately, just as when you jerk the plug out of the wall that lights up the Christmas lights in the tree, all the lights go out instantly.

RESPONSIBILITY IS THE ANTIDOTE

The antidote for negative emotions of all kinds is for you to accept complete responsibility for your situation. You cannot say the words, “I am responsible!” and still feel angry. The very act of accepting responsibility short-circuits and cancels out any negative emotions you may be experiencing.

The discovery of this simple but powerful affirmation, “I am responsible” and its instant ability to eliminate negative emotions was a turning point in my life, as it has been for many hundreds of thousands of my students.

Just imagine! You can free yourself from negative emotions and begin taking control of your life by simply saying, “I am responsible!” whenever you start to feel angry or upset for any reason.

It is only when you free yourself from negative emotions, by taking complete responsibility that you can begin to set and achieve goals in every area of your life. It is only when you are free, mentally and emotionally, that you can begin to channel your energies and enthusiasms in a forward direction. This is why, without the acceptance of complete personal responsibility, no progress is possible. On the other hand, once you accept total responsibility for your life, there
are no limits on what you can be, do and have.

STOP BLAMING OTHERS

From now on, refuse to blame anyone for anything – past, present or future. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Buddy Hacket, the comedian, once said, I never hold grudges; while you’re holding grudges, they’re out dancing!

From this point forward, refuse to make excuses or to justify your behaviors. If you make a mistake, say, “I’m sorry,” and get busy rectifying the situation. Every time you blame someone else or make excuses, you give your power away. You feel weakened and diminished. You feel negative and angry inside. Refuse to do it.

CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

To keep your mind positive, refuse to criticize, complain about or condemn other people for anything. Every time you criticize someone else, complain about something you
don’t like, or condemn someone else for something that they have done or not done, you trigger feelings of negativity and anger within yourself. And you are the one who suffers. Your negativity doesn’t affect the other person at all. Being angry with someone is allowing him or her to control your emotions, and often the entire quality of your life, at long distance. This is just plain silly.

Remember, as Gary Zukacs says in his book, Seat of the Soul, Positive emotions empower; negative emotions disempower. Positive emotions of  happiness, excitement, love and enthusiasm make you feel more powerful and confident. Negative emotions of anger, hurt or blame weaken you and make you hostile, irritable and unpleasant to be around.
Once you decide to accept complete responsibility for yourself, your situation, and for everything that happens to you, you can turn confidently toward your work and the affairs of your life. You become “the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.”

Live Connected, what does that mean & how?

Posted on by

We are all connected through the "Heart'

We are all connected through the "Heart'

This is one of the most fundamental principles of the universe. As long as you understand this principle and put it into practice on a daily basis, you can not fail to create the success you desire. This fundamental principle is called the principle of connection.

The principle of connection says that we are not separated human beings, we are all connected with each other and with the universe we live in. Put into other words, this whole universe is one unity. We are all part of it, we are all one. I would like to borrow words from Dr Wayne Dyer, whose words are full of wisdom. He said that we were not organisms in the environment, we were environorganisms. If you think you are separated from the environment, then try not to breathe for a moment.

We can’t live without the environment. You and your environment are a single entity. You can’t
separate from it. Without the environment, there will not be you, and without you, there is no
environment. Think of it this way. As you read the words on the screen, what makes you see the
words? It is the white space behind the words. The space and the words make this page a whole.
Without any one of them, the page does not exist.

To deeply understand the law of connection, we should ask ourselves this fundamental question, “Where do we come from?” The answer to this question is “We grow out of this environment.” Dr Wayne Dyer used to use the example of a plum tree to illustrate this point. I found it very interesting, and would like to share it with you here. You plant a plum seed into the soil. It slowly grows – its root, then into trunks, into branches, leaves, and finally it  blossoms and produces plums. When we see the plum tree, we say it grows out from this world, we don’t say it comes from another separated world. In the same way that the plum tree grows out of the world, so do you too. You are not a separated being from another world; you simply grow out of this world, you are an extension of this world, or saying it in another way, the world is an extension of you.

So everything in this environment is an extension of you. Knowing this will enable you to create
anything you desire. Since you are your environment, and your environment is you, then
everything in this environment is a part of you, including abundance, health, a divine relationship as well as any material possessions. All these things are already part of you. In
other words, “at the quantum level, everything you desire is already given to you.” The only
thing you need to do is to materialize it through the law of attraction. (Go to previous lesson to
review the law of attraction.)

Since everything in this environment is an extension of you, so are other human beings.
Anyone in this universe is connected with you at the quantum level.

I was very skeptical about this idea until I attended a particular seminar. During the seminar, they taught a simple technique to show that we are all connected. I was amazed by the result. I would like to share with you how this technique worked for me, so that you can also try it on your own. I had a friend that I had not seen for years, I knew where she worked, but never had a chance to meet her again. After I learned this technique, I decided to try it out, and use it to find my friend. I wrote the following sentence on a blank piece of paper. “I WILL MEET LUCY”. By the way, Lucy is not her real name, I just use it here as an example. After writing down the words, cancel any repeated letters in the sentence. For example, there are 3 Ls in this sentence, cancel the other two, only keep one. After doing this, I only have the letters “I W L M E T U C Y” The next thing is to use these capital letters to construct a drawing. You can draw anything, the drawing does not have to make any sense, as long as it is made of these letters. Then before I went to bed that night, I looked at the drawing, and held a picture of it in my mind, and then I went to sleep. The next morning, I totally released it, threw away the paper, and never thought about it again. This is because the subconscious mind needs trust, and the more you trust it, the more it will work for you. I totally forgot about it, and let the subconscious work on it. An amazing thing happened – one week later, I met my friend. I was so surprised, this stuff works so well.

It is amazing. I now totally believe that we are all connected.

I hope from this day onwards, you will see the world from a new perspective. See the world as
part of you, knowing everything you desire is connected to you at the quantum level. Then you
will begin to see good things manifested from your world.

How to put this principle into practice?

1. Whenever you feel depressed, remind yourself that you are not separated. The divine energy of the universe is always within you. You are connected to the source energy, and it will bring
all your desires to you through your thoughts.

2. See everyone as part of yourself, show them love. Repeat “I will love my neighbor as I love
myself” many times today.

3. Look for beauty in everything you come in contact with, knowing that it is all part of you.

We live our life from day to day never knowing what transformation is in store for us today. We do the best that we can with the ‘light’ that we have been given. We take one step at at time walking in the light we have to see with. Then, one day, everything changes…

There is a calling deep within that whispers…you are more, you are enough, you are deserving. And this call is always there! There was much in our early years that was poured into our ‘personal hard drive’ that became a program for our daily life. We lived with it for so long we took it as fact, instead of just an illusory belief. We learned to run our life with these beliefs. The beliefs, being illusory, led us astray and we became wanderers. As our illusory beliefs bumped up against reality and truth it was like hitting our head against a wall, not realizing the illusion, life became ‘hard,’ confusing; we became angry.

The call, always being present, is often not heard because of the din of illusion and distraction. Until…

Often, until something crashes, sets us down ‘hard.’ Stuns us into silence. From the silence the call is once again heard, ‘you are more, you are enough, you are deserving.’

Must we wait for the ‘wake up’ call? There is a call to awaken.

Heart Forgiveness and Core Health Processes are a series of life clearings that change the energy decisions that early life programming laid the foundation for. Today, we can walk ‘knowing’ and ‘living’ from the place where the ever present ‘call’ comes from. Your Core of Pure Health.

“The Story of Know”

The Edge Family was very excited. There was to be a new member of the Edge family. Mr and Mrs Edge were expecting the arrival of their new little word any day now and still hadn’t been able to put letters together to create a name that they could be proud of and that would be just the perfect name for their new little word..

Their first offsring, Outer Edge was doing so well in school and even though the other little words teased Outer a lot and called it ‘Out’ for short…and would laugh and laugh when they played baseball together. They would say ‘Out’ is up to bat….or ‘Out’ in left field…but little Out just let it go. Secretly it wanted to play pitcher and felt so proud when it was asked to pitch a game. When the coach called ‘Out’, it was a proud moment…a dream come true. It knew it could really do this. So Out became the new pitcher ..and when the Umpire would yell ‘Out’,
little Out was proud indeed. It was living up to it’s name. It’s parents were aware that Out’s big dream, though, was to become a word’o'naught and explore to the outer edge. They knew that they had named their first ‘un-veiled’ word well indeed.

This second offspring was somewhat more of a challenge. Trying to get a name that their new little word could live up to and be the best it could become was a letter puzzle. Mrs. Edge became quite concerned as the time was close at hand for the un’veiling of their new little word and they still had no name.

That night Mrs. Edge had a dream where-in she saw her new little word. It was in a library like no other library she had ever seen. There was a sign over the door saying ‘Akashic Records’. She real-eyes’d when she woke up to her day dream that she had never heard those words before…and pondered what they meant.

A thought came to her in a brilliant flash of light….the name they had been searching for was ‘Know’… Mrs Edge was so excited to finally have an in-sight into the new little word’s purpose. At dinner Mrs. Edge announced the name for their new little word. Mr. Edge thought it over carefully and said that that would be a fine name to live up to …then pursed his lips in silence. It had just dawned on Mr.l Edge. What ever did Know Edge mean? It must be something that it could live up to and understand. They all knew and could feel that they had the right name but something was missing. Then Mr. Edge announced, it needs a middle initial. What if we call our new little word. Know L. Edge. The family was so very impressed with this idea. No one had thought of giving a little word an inital that was in the middle. That was suppose to be at the beginning of something. What would it mean in the middle of something instead? hmmm. They didn’t know but as little word’s un-veiling was imminent, they decided to just go ahead with the word name anyway ..and a good thing too, as that night little word made it’s grand appearance.

When the Alpha-bet Council convened to register new words into the community, little Know’s name came up for pre-view. It’s parents were asked the questions that each little word ‘s parents were asked. Do you swear to help this new little word live up to its’ name and purpose? Mr and Mrs Edge answered ,’We do.’

Little word was registered for school. Mr and Mrs Edge were so proud that their new little word would be learning everything it needed to know here, to live it’s life’s purpose.

As all little words will be words, and play word games, they began to play games with little Know’s name. Little Know felt very hurt that they didn’t honour it’s name. It yelled,’ No”…stop it….so all the little it’s began chorusing ‘no No NO. Know, knows no thing’…hahahaha

Know ran home in tears. Mrs. Edge hadn’t realized what the other little words would do to Know’s name. Unfortunately, ‘No’ stuck….and when ever the other little words would see Know coming they would chorus in the words sing song-y voices… “No NO Know… Know knows no thing”.

Know became known as No in the community. It’s name had been shortened to mean something entirely different. Everytime know would walk down the street and hear a parent saying’no’ to their little word, little ‘No’ took in that new energy. Know was feeling so sad it was losing its’ sense of purpose and direction. Even the teachers were calling it ‘No’.

K’no’w became very angry. What began as a very playful thing had now changed little Know, into little No…It began to say ‘no’ to everything. No stamped it’s little word foot and said, ‘No more!’ it wailed.

That night, Mr. and Mrs. Edge had a long talk about Know’s plight. They knew it was their job to help their little word thru this trying time…. but how?

They sat down and looked at the letters that made up Know’s name. ‘K’…what did they know about the letter ‘K’? …n….o…w They even looked at L and E,d,g,e …. They worked out the numbers and that didn’t seem to be of help this time.

They decided to take out their deck of tarot word cards and drew a card. It was the Fool card…and to their amazement there was little word, standing on the Edge of the cliff..but with one huge difference. This little word in the picture hadn’t a care in life. Mrs. Edge became very sad. Seeing her little word in that picture had her see little k-No-w thru new eyes. Mr. Edge looked at the card and with a hrumph cleared his throat for he too saw what little word’s potential really was.They looked at each other in silence.

That night when Mr. and Mrs. Edge climbed into bed it was with heavy hearts for their little word. Mrs. Edge asked silently within herself for some guidance that would help them all…..That night, again Mrs. Edge dreamt of that strange library called Akashic Records, but this time, followed little Know into a section where they could view videos of Know’s life as though it were already lived.

Oh! Mrs. Edge thought. This is wonderful. Little Edge will get to see what it can really do…but alas, Mrs. Edge was mistaken for the video showed the outcome from present choices they had all made. Mrs. Edge awoke into her day dream sad and strangely passive to life around her. The dream followed Mrs. Edge thru her day.

That night again Mrs. Edge went to bed asking for guidance but this time for what were little Know’s greatest possibilities. Again, Mrs Edge was escorted into the library and this time, taken to a chamber of all possibilites and was told to picture the situation in mind. It became very clear to Mrs. Edge that little Know was at a very pivotol time in it’s life. Surely there must be a clear answer here somewhere of how to help little Know…and Mrs. Edge held that thought, the word ‘no’ appeared in large letters on the screen in front of them….with a voice saying, ‘This is where you are right now’…and as they watched…the letter ‘w’ floated across the screen toward the word ‘No’ and gave the word a hug and said I will be your friend..and stood beside ‘No’. Magically, Mrs. Edge now understood.

Awaking all excited, Mrs Edge informed the family, ‘We need to make a trip to the Alpha-bet letter nursery.’ They all piled in the car. They had no idea what Mrs, Edge was talking about except that she had a dream. Out had a chance not to go to school for a day so all was fiine with Outer. Mr. Edge was so relieved that a solution might be at hand that Mr. Edge had cancelled appointments for the whole day. When they arrived at the nursery for letters, Mrs Edge was looking for a little ‘w’. No was the first to find it. It was a cute little ‘w’…so friendly and nice. It wanted to play with No…and was smiling and being very playful. As the family watched No and ‘w’ play, it soon became evident that ‘w’ had given some of No’s slef back. Mrs. Edge saw them…No and ‘w’ side by side and new that ‘w’ was actually a playful part of No that had been left behind. They played so well together that they became inseparable. ‘w’ was invited to live with them and they all came home together.

No’ and ‘w’ now were great friends. They were seen everywhere together. The family began to call them ‘Now’. No’s school mates ceased to call little word No..and instead began to call No, ‘Now’. As No and w had become inseparable. Mr. and Mrs Edge were greatly relieved, but Mrs. Edge recognized that little Now still wasn’t it’s true slef. I wonder what it will take for Now to BE-come the Know that it was meant to be?

Time passed for the Edge family. Outer was in college and training for becoming a word ‘o’naught and Now had moved passed all the hurt and pain of the past, learning to live as Now. Something was missing for Now though….a vague feeling that something was following Now around ..something that wanted to be recognized.

One day, while Now was standing in front of the mirror straightening it’s clothes before leaving for the day, Now saw an image quickly shift passed it’s vision, behind it. Was that a ‘K’ it saw? Now had become so used to being Now that it had lost touch with the Self it would become. The image fleetingly passed by again. It looked so familiar..the ‘K’ but what wsa it doing here? That image of ‘K’ floated with Now all day long. It began to haunt it… like a ghost from the past.

That night, Now had a dream. In that dream, Now was being given a certificate of graduation. It looked at the certificate and read ‘Know L. Edge, graduating with honours’. Now awoke with a smile. Now knew what it must do. It must seek what it had left behind so long ago. A part of itself that would be needed to live it’s life purpose. It needed to connect with that higher aspect of itself to truely be Know L. Edge and that was being taught in philosophy class. One afternoon in meditation class, Now saw a K approaching it..and beckoning. It’s time Now to connect again. When Now came out of the meditation, it Knew that it was truly Know L. Edge and that wisdom from higher mind was available to it at all times.

The instructor just smiled.. Know-ingly.
