Names
have meanings! We choose our personal names for a reason! Each of our
names is filled with excitement and glamour, with magic and mystery,
with expectations and results but are we really ready to enjoy all
that our names mean? I have looked into my names very seriously
(notice above).
Before coming into
this life we prepare ourselves well for our earthly journey. We decide
on a name or names alluding to the program we set up for the great
adventure that lies before us. Our parents encourage our desires. Then
we live the life that our self-chosen names could mean.
Our name is our
bond.
One lady I know
has a name most fitting to her profession, to her calling, to her
delightful genius.
She calls herself
Celestine, an outstanding UNI student. Her name means angelic, divine,
universal, ideal, the heavenly one, so self-explanatory of her vibrant
personality and charisma. Celestine revels in her special role here on
Earth. She plays the human all the while knowing she is divine.
Celestine is a God
Unlimited minister including being a remarkably fabulous practitioner.
She knows her indwelling presence, god within and affirms with self-confidence
I am god. Her name is her link in truth. She remembers
regardless of any outer confrontation.
One year Celestine
wrote that five of her family members different ages--moved on to
their next experiences. It all happened in a row like Job in the Bible
facing his tests.
Yet Celestine,
master of her consciousness, remained untouched by the illusions of
death. With an unconditionally loving heart, she peacefully blessed
her beloveds. She released them to move to their next self-chosen
adventure. She remains the balancer in her family. She is Celestine
the divine.
Working for many
years in hospitals Celestine blesses and guides people of all ages
searching for truth. Blessed with a selfless nature this noble
minister often remains unobserved by the many as she lives as a
spiritually endowed master, silently and content from within. Her
inner sun shines forth Rev Celestine’s divine splendor reflecting
deeply in her radiant dark eyes.
I have met
Celestine on many occasions while I have been traveling the world. As
an omnipresent angelic being, she appears while I am lecturing in
Guyana, her beloved home country. At other times giving seminars in
New York and New Jersey, she is there too. You would think we had an
appointment!
The very name
Celestine stands for nobility of purpose and personal integrity to me.
Her name is her bond!
Recently she wrote
words that powerfully express her purity of heart and divinity of
purpose, fully on duty successful practitioner work. She says,
"One bright
clear summer morning I was gathering roses out of my precious garden
in New Jersey. I heard the doorbell ring. Still holding the colorful
bouquet in my hands, I opened the door. There stood my dear friend
Martha. For many years she has been one of my students.
"‘May I
talk to you,’ Martha asked as she nervously leaned against the front
door.
"We sat on
the deck chairs on my terrace overlooking the vibrant flowerbeds whose
perfume surrounded us. The sweet fragrance competed with the
refreshing ice tea we enjoyed.
"‘I lost my
job,’ Martha cried out, desperately. ‘What should I do, I have
tons of bills to pay and nothing seems to work in my life?’
"Practiced as
a practitioner I attentively listened to Martha’s lament. She
dresses with commanding charm and grace enhancing her good looks, a
woman in her forties. I gave her my nonjudgmental caring. I knew that
her momentary confused attitude of feeling worthless would soon
change. I motivated Martha to a new positive thinking with my sincere
listening.
"Rise up
early every morning and look through your window for one week saying I
like me, I suggested.
" Martha
knows when I make a suggestion miracles take place hence by her choice
she followed through.
"It was not
yet the end of the week and Martha was on the phone. Her eager voice
was full of excitement. I knew she had results!
"‘There is
so much for me to be thankful for,’ Martha exclaimed! You know it, I
did what you told me. I rose early every morning. I shouted I LIKE ME
so strongly the windows rattled in my upper floor bedroom.
"’The first
morning I sat there melancholically pushing my nose against the
window. I saw a man without legs being pushed in a wheel chair.
"’The
second morning I saw a blind woman crossing the street, led by a
child.
"’The third
morning I saw a man rummaging through the garbage for something to
eat.
"’I got it
and I woke up from my melancholy. I realize that I have much to be
thankful of. I have both my feet and can walk for miles. I enjoy good
eyesight. I see beauty in all the world. I have an abundance of food.
"’I have so
much more.
"’I now am
positively in charge of my thoughts.’
"Martha woke
up. She claimed her challenge with enthusiasm, with a new vision of
herself. With an attitude of success she found her perfect work, even
more fulfilling than she had before. Instead of the former pitiful
Martha, a miracle lady arose shining out the dynamic divine Martha.
She stood up for her real name. MARTHA: divine!
"Martha’s
story is a real story," Celestine insisted.
Our name is our
bond!
Celestine is an
example of living her name. She claims, I AM GOD, GOD I AM. We can
too!
