From BERNIE SIEGEL, M.D., in response to #2408 Luminary Gift

the truth is 95% of lottery winners
5 years after winning say it ruined their life
we need to know what to do with the gift
so the blessing doesn't become a curse
and the curse becomes a blessing
so when you learn you have cancer say
what can i do with it?
and when you win the lottery
oh god why me?

From BERNIE SIEGEL, M.D., in response to #2408 Luminary Gift

This is an interesting statistic - maybe winnng big
money is not truly a blessing. And I am learning that
all "apparent" curses are blessings full of amazing
lessons.
Namaste!

Three levels of consciousness

I've learned to see a problem with functioning intact as an opportunity to put my attention on what can be corrected on the other two levels mind and spirit. When those two levels are healed, the body heals. The Course In Miracles tells us that no one else really benefits when we do not function intact, may as well get well fast.

From B.Spiegel Topic re. why lottery winners view as a curse

Dear Friends:

It seems to me, that all religions have been trying to teach one very
important thing!

And that is Spirituality is the key to life...

But, we keep focusing on money, money money!

As if that which is meant to go away can give us any lasting happiness
or peace of mind.

However, if we put attention on just our so-called Spirituality,
and not our practical life; Nature or God...however you want to say it,

doesn't seem to like that either..

I'm an Astrologer, and in the field of Astrology, much emphasis
is on all the simultaneous Planetary Parts...

So, you should be on good terms with your Sun, Moon, Mercury,
Venus, Jupiter.and on and on...

In my own experience, those people who are out of tune with
even one or two areas of their life...still can find themselves...
with much grief.

The greatest success I've found in life, is to put #1 attention
on my spiritual or inner life, and where necessary attention
on my ourter life.

And my body, my mind, life itself seems to know when to tell
me where I need attention.

If I pay attention to my body, it'll tell us when we need to
eat, to sleep, even when we need more activity... or exercise.

Then, our bank account will tell us when we need to put attention
on that!

When I finally learned to save I found that all of my outer
life was easier.

When I learned to take deeper rest and silence...all the details
of my inner life...became better...

Balance in all things...

There's another theme in good Astrology which says that for each
person...having there own personal Astrology chart...

each person's lessons and characteristics are unique.

So, the solution for each person seems to be very individual.

Money itself is not the problem....

Only if you're at a certain level of consciousness or self-wisdom
and you get the financial means to make a big mess out of your
life; those 95% of lottery winners...did find that winning $
was a curse....

So, seek the spiritual....

Listen to God's words each day....

As long as I've been listening to Gloria's Heaven letters, I have
to say not one letter had anything 'wrong' to say....

Thank you Lord!

for being there...and having all the answers and wisdom to life's
problems...and unique situations...

However, talking with God..even hearing God's words..
is not the end...

It's just the beginning....

We each need to find the true spiritual bliss of Oneness with God
inside...and then live an easy and natural life in the World....

We are on the crest of a New Era...
and it's not a Computer age!

I'ts a New Spiritual Age.....and we all have so much to look forward
to...

Money isn't the Goal!

It's just a tool......
