Pinot Noir for the Higher Good!
The REAL story of the book

When you give everything over to the Holy Spirit, where to go and what to do becomes obvious... and in my case, it feels easy! This was the case with my book Live Your Happy,published by New World Library in April 2017.

I had no plans to write a book. I suffer from dyslexia, and honestly I don’t like to write or read much. But as I've learned since becoming a minister, nothing is up to “me” — it's a matter of what serves the higher good.

In this case, Pinot Noir and Facebook helped me serve the higher good. After having a yummy glass of wine I wrote a paragraph that I felt could be in a book, and posted it on FB as "an excerpt from my book.” (Never post when drinking!) D. Patrick Miller, a literary agent and original publisher of The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard, responded and inquired about my book! Well, I did not have a book; it was the Pinot Noir talking!  After several conversations that led me to letting go of the belief that I couldn't be a writer, we decided to create a book proposal. In a few months, we had a book deal!
How did this happen?

I got out of my own way, but most importantly I stepped into full trust. I didn't try to make it happen, nor did I let the book define me or become a "big deal." I used the teachings from the Pathways Of Light ministerial program and ACIM, and embodied them fully. No compromise!
From the book:

“The secret of living your happy is that you don’t have to find something or someone that’s missing before you can claim it. But it is useful to identify any barriers that get in the way of living your happy — including fear, impatience, and doubt. We’ll look more closely at those barriers as we go along. For now, just be willing to give up whatever might be blocking your well-deserved joy. This is how you will get out of your own way and let the will of God — which is the same as the intention of love — be accomplished instead.“

The book is not so much about understanding the truth, but rather experiencing it. This is something I struggled with when I read self -help books; I'd understand the material and feel really good for a hot second, then I was back to my own ways. I'm hoping that my book speaks to your true Self in an easy and joy-filled way! But as I mention in the introduction: “It’s not necessarily easy” — you have to want to change, or the cuckoo-mind of the ego will have its way with you.

As I step into this new world of being an author I am not sure what’s going to happen.  But I am sure that I will be living my happy no matter what happens.

Happy & Grateful,
Maria Felipe

What is the meaning of Life?

What is the meaning of Life?

by

In one word: HAPPINESS! Happiness is our function.

But it’s hard to keep our happy going while being attached to this world of separation, fear, lack and limitation. The good news is that you can see it another way — by recognizing that it is meaningless until we treat it all with love. When we give things any other meaning, we make every problem a “big deal” that causes us suffering, from parking tickets to losing a job to being audited by the IRS.

When we begin to unhook ourselves from these big deals, then we can experience a meaningful life that's inspired from within, not determined by outer circumstances. We live in trust, knowing that all is unfolding perfectly.

We know that our inner guide, which I like to call the “Holy Spirit,” has our back and will always bring us back to love, compassion, and forgiveness.

We can always ask about any problem: "Can I see this another way? What is the truth in this?" And then make this request: "Show me, Spirit, where to go, what to say, and what to do." Then we begin living our happy, not just for ourselves but for everyone.
We become living demonstrations of a meaningful life!

Happy & Grateful,
Maria Felipe

Why Following your Happy = Key

Why Following your Happy = Key

by

“Excitement / Following your Happy is your body’s physical translation of the true core nature of who you really are

HAPPINESS = YOUR ONLY FUNCTION
The reason that we follow our happy is so important is that happiness is who and what you are. You are made of excitement, joy, bliss, light, passion. So when you follow it, you are being you.

You Know the Way
To be the most natural true self that you can be, follow your joy, bliss, and happiness. When you feel these emotions it is your God / Holy Spirit telling you to go in that direction and that is who you truly are. Taking action on your happiness is the way to be the most authentic you that you can be. It is the way to live your life purpose.

God & Holy Spirit see the big picture
and “conceives” how the fullest life for you is going to happen. Your physical self only “perceives” what is happening and has no ability to conceive how anything happens. Your brain is the receiver that “receives” the information from God / Holy Spirit. Your imagination is the conduit your higher self uses to communicate with your physical self. You are in the flow of life when you allow yourself to be guided through your imagination, follow your happiness, and let go of the steering wheel and stop attempting to control physical circumstances and allow the higher self to do the driving.

Life works automatically!
You do not need to question it, manipulate it, or control it. You are always completely abundant and have what you need when you need it. If you do not have it, you do not need it. To experience being in the flow and life naturally working on its own, let go of limiting beliefs that are preventing it from flowing and follow your happiness.

When you follow your happy, you are following God’s happy plan for your existence, and you will be synchronistically led in perfect timing to the exact locations, circumstances, and people that are necessary for you to be the most that you can be. God is doing its utmost to bring you what you need. All you need to do is stop resisting and let go of what is trying to get away from you and let in what is trying to get to you.

So go out & Follow Your Happy

Why Allowing = Taking Action

Why Allowing = Taking Action

by

Do you have a problem that you think about all the time?
As soon as you wake up and while brushing your teeth, driving to work, having lunch and dinner, and finally lying awake in bed when you should be sleeping?

Rather than coming up with a solution, all you’re doing is reviewing the same worries over and over:
How did I get into this?
Why is this happening to me?
Why won’t this person do what I want?
What if I do this or that?
What if I say this or that?

STOP FIXING THE PROBLEM
Compulsive worrying means that you believe your problems are very real (what I call “big deals”), and there really is no solution. You’re depending on the wrong advisor in your own head; as the Course reminds us, “The ego’s rule is, ‘Seek and do not find.’” As long as you’re listening to the ego’s advice, you’re going to worry about the same stuff over and over again. And worry is just another way of telling yourself, This is the way it has to be. I need to worry. I need to suffer. I need to be unhappy. If you believe in the nonsense of the ego, you end up being fooled!

4 STEPS - HOW TO TAKE INSPIRED ACTION
Rather than fixing the problem & finding a solution, let spirit guide you in taking INSPIRED ACTION
To get unstuck from the same old problems, and to change your thoughts, it would be helpful to do these three things:
Recognize there is really only one problem: that you believe you separated from God (not true!)
Say no mas (“no more!”) to compulsive worry / thoughts of the ego
Listen to the voice within & take happy thoughts in the place of worried thoughts — even if you don’t want to!
Align your next action with your higher self / God - it will show you the way

HOW TO KNOW YOU'RE TAKING INSPIRED ACTION
You get an impulse and idea to do something (usually comes from a heart-centered space)
The action steps just make sense. You don't have to justify them, they just feel right
Feel energized by the action - it doesn't seem like "work". You're enjoying the process
Make a lot of progress very quickly and with little effort
Your action is just one piece of the puzzle
You don't have to control everything

Love & Light
Maria Felipe
