“Look behind you, you have wings”

Good Morning God, and everyone.  The message in this canvas has come back to me over and over (and in the song, Fly Baby Fly).  When I question what is mine to do, I am asked to remember who I am.  It all comes from there.

“Good morning my love.  When you are inspired to do something, know that you have everything you need to do it… What you believe will make it so… or not so.

Love, God”

Good Morning God.  What I keep experiencing is this knowing – and forgetting – and remembering again.  I wish I could really remember this all the time, but it has not been the case.  I now realize that it is an ongoing commitment, and practice that helps me remember.  God, thank you for helping me every day.

“Good morning my love.  You have spent many years unaware of this truth, and what you understood before was so different that your mind has still been trying to grasp it and accept who you are.  And yet, you know that you can remember in a moment and everything changes.  This is Step 1.  Connect to Source.  All else will be revealed.

Love, God”

“You are God, and God is not Afraid”

Good Morning, God and everyone.  I have shared the message on this canvas many times.  Again, when I received it, I had no understanding of it.  It was all new.  And now, 11 years later I am still trying to remember this.

“Good morning my love.  I’ll let the canvas to speak for me today.

Love, God”

Good Morning, God and everyone.  Here is the next canvas from the Canvas Journals from 2003.  The fear of loss is so powerful (and yes, I know I have misspelled lose).

“Good morning my love.  It is still very important to remember that nothing you have is more important than being you.  And that you will never lose what is truly yours.  So, you don’t have to hold on so tight.  It is so tiring.  Let go and trust…

Love, God”

Good Morning, God and everyone.  Today I am sharing my journaling from yesterday because it is so on topic with just about everyone writing in the forum, and rather profound for me.  I found myself feeling disconnected and impatient, yet still showed up to write.  I have been irritated with a few people and things, and wasn’t feeling very “holy”.  I began the conversation and God invited me to just let her write.  After a couple pages I asked a question that changed my whole day:  Ok, God, how do I deal with all my “distractions”.

“Good morning my love!   Just give them up.  Don’t let them distract you.  There will always be distractions – things that seem to demand your attention and provide irritation.  But, it is 100% up to you as to what you pay attention to, and what you allow to cause you irritation.  Who you are really irritated with is you, for giving things the attention and importance that you don’t want to give it.  This is a conflict within you.  So, focus on what you know you need to focus on (what matters most) and ignore the rest.  You can be kind about it.  You can politely listen.  But you must focus your attention and energy where is feeds you.  This is how you stay available for the miracles.  The only things that distract you are what you allow to distract you.  Don’t let the dysfunction take a second of your life and energy.  You will see it, but you don’t have to participate.  That means all the online stuff, “crazy” conversations, or implied obligations.

Now go ride your bike.  Think about what you want to create in your life and focus on what you need to do to create it.  What you are calling distractions are really just conditions.  You can deal with the conditions. When you do this, you will stop being irritated, and it will make room for love – for you and everyone.  Then, nothing will be holding you back.

Love, God”

This canvas speaks for itself.

 

10/1/2003 Lyons, CO  God, what is this truth?  How do I find this truth?  This seems so hard.  Diane, go to peace.  And in every moment of every day ask yourself, is what you are doing, saying, and being from the truth of your hear?  You can't aks your soul this question and not get an hones answer.  Now, you have a choice: Listen and follow this truth and live in the peace and love of your heart, or live in delusion and fear.  For not living what is true for you is living in delusion.  You know this -  as you have felt like "a stranger in your own skin".  Ask the question, I will answer.  Love, God

Good morning God, and everyone.  This conversation did come out of a place of deep depression.  I walked away from a career that was no longer feeding me, and in fact was sucking the life out of me.  I had so lost myself that I could barely get out of bed.  I finally came to a point where I basically gave up.  I wanted (demanded) to know who I was and why I was here.  So, I started getting the answers.  This new idea was hard for me to comprehend (ok, it is still a little bit hard), yet there was something about it that felt true.

“Good morning my love.  I know it is strange to talk with me, who is really you, yet, we can, because we are both.  I have come to experience every experience on earth, yet I know myself to be the creator as well as the creation.  It is also true for you. You are the creator as well and the creation.

Thanks for asking.

Love, God”

Good morning God, and everyone. On August 15th, 2003, I moved to Lyons Colorado.   I was moving on in my life from the ending of a relationship and career, and starting over in a new community.  I knew that I had to start over from a whole new place – not just a new location, but a whole new perspective.  A dear friend took me horseback riding as a welcome home gift a couple weeks later.  I remember that glorious day, riding a big palomino named Lakota, as I share this below:

“Good morning my love.  This message is as true today as it was then.  And, you have learned and grown so much.  The truth is, there is only one very simple thing you need to remember every day.  Let go and trust!

Love, God”

Good morning, God (and everyone!).  So, as promised, here is canvas #1.  As I post this, know that this experience was so new to me and I was terrified to be putting it on canvas.  But, I felt compelled to do this more than anything I had ever done.  I was forced to surrender and listen to you and just paint what I heard, as I was just taking dictation.  And if my mind got in the way thinking I knew what was coming, I would hear you say: “Stop and listen.  That’s not what I was going to write”.  Thank you again for writing through me.

Good morning my love.  You asked to know the truth, and you got it.  We will continue to write, but it is also important to remember the process you went through.  You did not know who you were or who I was, so this was a profound experience.  Now, you get to share this profound knowing with those who seek it.

Blessings to you my love.


God”

Good morning my friends and family.  Last night I saw a BBC film on Vivian Maier, at the Lyons Cinema and Photography Center.  She was an amazing photographer who took thousands of photos of people in everyday life.  I love her sense of composition and ability to capture a profound sense of the moment.  I don’t think anyone knows her real intent with her work, and she printed very few of them.  But she kept her negatives and few developed photos in a storage locker until she could no longer pay for it, and then they were sold off to many different people.  Her work has been “discovered” and now, after her death, there is a whole new chapter where she is being seen as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. More about her here: https://www.artsy.net/artist/vivian-maier

The part of the story I am inspired by is that she seemed focused on creating the art, not what should become of it.  This was her calling – maybe her compulsion?  She was a very unique and private person, who spent her days seeking out images that spoke to her.  She would see them in her view finder, then take one shot at the perfect moment in time.  She had film in the camera, but most of these images she would never see again.

I find when I let what is calling me to see and create – without any thought as to where it will go or even what it will mean, gives me permission to create with abandon.  As with the Canvas Journals, it did not make any sense to buy $50.00 journal pages (canvases), especially when I was relaunching my art career and living on savings – AND I didn’t want anyone to see them anyway.  But, I did.  The compulsion – the Divine call, won out.  Now, 11 years later, they are emerging.  Who knows where it will go or what it will mean.  That part is up to you.  

I imagine that Vivian would be pleased that people are enjoying her photographs, but since she was such a private person, I’m sure she would hate all the interest in her.  Maybe it all turned out perfectly in the end.  

Thank you God, for the compulsion to go to the movies last night.  Thank you Kenneth Wajda, for bringing this great film.   And thank you, Vivian for following your calling.

Love, Diane

Good morning God.  I’m here, with you.  I thought I would check in before I write for the blog…

“Good morning my love.  All is well.  You don’t have to worry about posting this or sharing anything I write, so write from this place.  This is the place of pure truth and honesty.  Honesty and truth are are similar – yet have their differences.  And both can have many differences based on your level of consciousness.  What is true from a place of fear will probably not be true from a place of love.  Honesty is about your ability to see and acknowledge those truths.  And, as you feel this, you know that the highest and greatest truth (for you) feels like nothing else.  Your greatest truth comes from deep within you – without reference to anyone or anything else.  This brings us to the beginning, doesn’t it?  When you were resisting painting our conversation.  There was a fear around being so impeccably honest in such a public way.  And so I wrote:

Canvase0Don'tCare

Love, God”

This painting was from 8/27/2003.  I had just begun my Journals with God, and was also painting a series from Machu Picchu.  I said to God that I thought these messages were too big to live on small paper, and so was then compelled to buy five 4′ x 4′ canvases.  I was then told to paint them yellow.  I proceeded to stare at them for a few days as I argued with God in my sketchbook journal about writing on the canvas.  God told me to just pick up my brush and walk to the canvas.  The above is what came out.  

Just like this experience, I didn’t think I would be posting what I did today, as I really thought I was having my own private conversation with God.  I didn’t expect it to be the introduction to the beginning.  I really have no idea what is going to be written every day.  But, I do know that it is always profound and inspiring to me.  I am sharing this with you because I know that everyone can have this experience.  So, we begin.

Good morning God.  I’m thinking of staring over – beginning at the beginning.  I was looking at my draft posts and realized that I was going to start sharing the Canvas Journals from 20o3, starting on September 12th, 2013, which was the day of the flood.  Of course everything changed and we began a different journey.  But, there is a beginning to this, from back when I didn’t know who you were, and even more so, didn’t know who I was.  What do you think?

“Good morning my love.  Your journey to discovering who you are is beautiful, and your story and experience is one that will inspire many.  Even though we have been doing this for 11 years, you can still touch the awe and wonder you felt when we began this conversation.  But, there were some very important dialogues that we had in the beginning that helped you learn many things that opened you up to a whole new level of understanding.  Yes, this story is important to tell from the beginning.  This is the perfect time to begin.

Love, God”

Good morning God.  There was a big shift that happened yesterday.  In our meditation and writing, I truly did find peace, and felt very present, aligned, confident, and content.  I had a focused, productive, inspired and even adventurous day, with an impromptu hike up the side of a mountain.

“Good morning my love.  The transformation and shift that you experienced is real.  It is from a different level of consciousness that you are now operating.  This is what it is like to see the world through my eyes.  You engaged in life and received its gifts.  And here we are this morning, connecting, aligning, and recommitting to seeing and being the love that you are.

Love, God”

The journal entry today is rather long – yet for me was extremely transformational.  Today I am seeing life as one big April fools day – and getting to wake up and see the challenges as the self made delusions that they truly are!

Good Morning, God.  As I have been using my body this weekend, and thinking about some physical challenges, I’m seeing it as an expression of my beliefs about how I think about myself and the world.  When I am ambivalent, my body – like everything else in my life responds with ambivalence.  God, today I surrender my ambivalence to you, and choose to show up completely and powerfully.

“Good morning my love.  Your light is very bright and powerful and it will shine even brighter when you are completely aligned within yourself.  This means loving every aspect of living your life.  Loving your body as your sacred temple.  Being alive completely.  This is a mental, physical and spiritual experience.  There is a part of you that has resisted and resented life on earth.  This attitude is expressed through the state of your body, finances, and relationships.  There is a part of you that is angry about being here.  But, I’m going to remind you again, that you chose this.  And, this is a sacred journey.  When you remember this and embrace this, your life will reflect this. 

The good news is that you can do this in an instant just by accepting the truth of who you are.  I am here – living through you, as you, and you can choose to live from my perspective or from your lower levels of consciousness.  As I write this I can see you moving between the different levels and are confused.  But there is really only one place where the truth resides and that is in my world.  You have been learning about living in my world – many people are (and have been) teaching and learning about oneness and spirituality for eons.  Yet there is a difference between learning about something and knowing it.  And knowing it is really about becoming it.  Diane, when you know you are me, then your pain will recede.  When you remember that you chose to come here, you won’t resent anything.  When you realize that nothing can hurt you then you will put down your shield and sword, and just love.  This conversation is not just about teaching your mind new truths, but about shifting your level of consciousness and awareness.  As we are writing, you are feeling this shift.

Yes, I am.

“Your mind is quiet.”

Yes, it is.

“You are at peace.”

Yes, I am.

“You see that you are able to do what ever you want and need to do without resistance or resentment.”

Yes.

“Because you know who you are.”

Yes.

“Welcome home.

Love, God”

Good Morning, God.  Thank you for my friends.  Thank you for your beautiful wilderness.  Thank you for my sacred vehicle, in which I experience this realm.  So many gifts this weekend.  Today, I rest in your arms.

“Good morning my love.  You can always rest in my arms as I am always holding you with my love.  Take this love into your day and rest in it no matter what.  Continue to revel in the sacredness of everything – your body, your work, your co-workers, your friends and family.  There are a lot of things to that you were reminded of this weekend, but you don’t have to process it all today.  Yes, rest, and enjoy being alive!

Love, God”
