Peace of Mind Daily

Christmas Time

2010-12-23T10:55:00.001-08:00

The good news is we are responsible for the world we see. The world we see but reflects our own thoughts and ideas. The dominate ideas and emotions that occupy our minds. We then project this perception onto the world, and we then look there for the answers to our confusion. There are no answers in the world that will ever satisfy us. That is why we must look inside first, this is where we decide what kind of world we want, so it is here were the healing is needed. The world is made real through our interpretations of what we see. In this we can justify almost anything. We can look upon an unfair world to justify our anger and disappointment. Or we can look upon the truth, the truth that resides within us all. We are the Children of God and the journey within will answer all questions and every concern. As we learn to understand our thinking process and perceptual errors does forgiveness actually begin to make sense; not because of any noble or charitable cause but because we have realized we are seeing a world that is not true, what is not there. In forgiveness do we forgive our misconceptions and mistaken beliefs.

Since Love is all there truly is forgiveness allows a mistake to be corrected rather that a sin to be damned for. It is after all from our sense of weakness and incompletion the investment we have in scarcity, this is what we have come to believe and what we believe governs the world. We love each other with a goal to ourselves always in mind, and that passes for love here. The search within, in the quiet of our mind will all this Love business actually make sense, because within not only will we find ourselves but our Father who also lives there, in the quiet. Our innocence has never been lost it was only in our journey into the world where we sought to enhance ourselves by external approval, external possessions and external love. We could make no greater mistake for Love needs nothing, searches for nothing, it is forever complete, safe and secure. “Love never Fails”

Today I think

2010-11-03T11:48:00.000-07:00

Who we are is not where we have been, but rather what we create today and from this point on. Good morning, we are instruments of a loving presence, the pawns of peace and the hope for the world . Are you ready? In our quiet time let us think about the day ahead, let us pay very close attention to our thoughts where they lead us, the thoughts that is. The mind that accepts anything other than love is a mind that does not understand love or life for that matter. For love is life it is not a sometimes once in a while thing, either love is everything or love is not understood. It is our thinking that affects how we see love, because of

this power we often delude ourselves as to what love is, mistaking it with selfish and self-serving motives. The ingeniousness of our mind is enormous, and it stems from the very power we seek to understand. A quick test of our thinking is always how will this benefit others? The selfish mind draws upon the one source that is totally inimical to its existence for its existence, which is clearly insane. We cannot take the power of love and use it to be unloving that is why we are often so confused and lost in our journeys through this world. Today let us keep love in the forefront of thoughts and actions, let us be an example to the world today, let

us gather our brothers and sisters to us and shower them with love.

Love Created Us All

2010-02-17T06:55:00.000-08:00

God's peace and joy are ours. Today we have the opportunity to accept them, knowing in our hearts they belong to us. Today we will also come to the understanding that these gifts increase as we receive them. The major learning goal in this world is to reverse our view of giving, so that we can truly receive. For giving has for some insane reason become a source of fear for us, and so we attempt to avoid the only means by which you can receive. Accept God's peace and joy, and we will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase by unimagined amounts and effect. Imagine a peace and joy that intensifies when we accept them as a gift , so does the joy of our world grow when we accept this joy and peace as ours. True giving is creation, life manifesting itself in our lives. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and returns love unto itself. It adds to all that, to what is complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before and there is nothing about us that is less. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself to fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away to everyone, securing it forever for the use of a better world. Thus we prepare ourselves to recognize the world will receive these gifts through us, and let our mind be free of all that would prevent our success today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy that God has given you. Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Together we say, "God's peace and joy are mine," for we have given what we would receive. At any temptation let us say:

My brother, peace and joy I to offer you, That I may have God's peace and joy as mine. We are one in the same what is given to you is given to me. What is received by you is received by me

LIfe's Simple Pleasures

2009-11-30T02:49:00.000-08:00

Life's simple pleasures we so often overlook, today let us rejoice in simple beauty of a sky filled with Sunshine or filled with Clouds for that matter. Let the music of dawn become imbedded in our consciousness today. The birds, oh the birds in a thousand different voices sing in the new day, excited in the minutes just before sunrise. It is almost as if they realize the splendor of what is about to happen? Not almost they do realize the splendor of what is happening. If you listen closely you can hear David sing "This is the day the Lord hath made, I will be glad and rejoice in it". Rather than our grumblings over not yet having had our coffee, lack of sleep, or the crick in our neck, rather than the self sefving ministrations of another day.

Let us not forget that we are the few who have chosen to serve the many in their need. The world so desperately needs us now, and it is just the simple stuff. A smile for every frown that we run across, an open door for the person behind, a kind word and a receptive heart for a good ole listening. Thoughts in which another comes to mind before ourselves. Prayer in solitude for in the quiet is our reality established, and where a gentle turning to the voice that speaks for God occurs more often than not. This serving and saving the world occurs in the gentleness we hold in our eyes, in the invitation we extend to anyone in need to join us, for lunch or to simply sit by us on the train or bus, it is this joining that the truly great miracles of our day occur, in these pleasantries are the reason the birds sing in the day. In anticipation of one Child of God helping another, simple but not easy for faith without work is dead.

2009-11-02T18:37:00.000-08:00

In this moment we are each part of each other, singularity coupled with solidarity, one for all and all for one. The infinite plan for the Universe includes every one. This singular fact is unavoidable as we grow in strength and purpose. For us to grow we must grow together, as each one joins so does the whole become larger. Just as when we add thoughts our mind grows, as we pay attention to those thoughts so does our awareness grow. Difficult in the beginning but as we build a routine the practice becomes a challenge and most rewarding. For when the world hits us with everything it has and we have the ability to step back and find the quiet in our mind, then are we truly Masters of the Universe. When we chose specifically what an event will mean to us then does this life of self reflection become extremely attractive.

As we grow in comprehension so does our light burn brighter and we will call to the weak of heart and the lost ones who wander the world. With each and every smile we offer, with each selfless thought or action do we lay a stone in the path home. This is not a journey we travel alone we all must return, for one to return all must return for God loves all his children each and every one without exception. To have everything we want we must look to include others in our vision for as our mind expands so do the laws of attraction. As we remember throughout the day to step back and reflect in the quiet of our thoughts so do we move forward at an accelerated pace, for each time we clear our mind is the door left open for unlimited expansion. If we can completely rid ourselves of the old ideas that no longer serve us we grow exponentially in proportion to the room we create in our mind. This is what makes learning fun, have a great day.

2009-10-29T19:35:00.000-07:00

In the drama we call life, a learning experience; a campus for higher learning exists. This is unseen by most, the participants along with our selves. We have taken the road of self knowledge and have found things we never wanted to learn. So does the form and function of our lessons differ greatly, so do the particular players and aids. But the content of course remains constant, with a central theme that would teach each of us that we have not lost our innocence for it is this we all yearn. This can be taught by us to each child of Light we encounter by our actions, words or a thought which is a silent word, in our language or in no language, we can teach this in any place or in any time, or in any manner we chose.

The call we have is to awaken the weary and afraid, and as we teach so shall we learn. It does not matter one instant before who any one thought they were. When Love calls the call is answered and from that point on everything has changed, and is the world made new. This is a Universal course of action being taught in every part of the world both past, present and in the future for the gift of timelessness is granted to each child that awakens from the world in which we thought it was happening to us. The will of the Universe is found in the present moment without the conflicts of the past, or the worries of the future. The simplicity of the message makes recognition ambivalent and it will drift away unless we have set out and continue to pay attention. The voice for change lives and thrives in each and every one of us. Time is for the weary and downtrodden - time makes the world appear tired and spent. This why our time we spend together and the time we devote in meditation now becomes the crux of our success.

Teach what we would learn. Offer Love, Trust, Truth and a Giving spirit to every one without exclusion for we are all in this together.

2009-10-28T04:25:00.000-07:00

What an absolutely beautiful day, a day in which we can start and finish the way we chose. The events of the day may seem to be random but how they are seen and how we chose to interpet these events are totaly in our control.

To have all, give all to all. An alien thought to the world at least, but a important first step. To have Love we must offer Love, To recieve trust we must first extend trust to the people in our lives. To become our truth we must experience the truth in others. This may appear to exacerbate conflict rather than resolve it, because it is the beginning step in reversing of our perception, placing us in charge, accepting responsibility for our thoughts, emotions and action or reactions to the events and individuals in our life. Some of us remain at this step for a long time, experiencing very acute conflict. At some point we may try to accept the conflict, rather than take the next step towards its resolution. Having taken the first step, however, we will find the help to complete the task. Once we have chosen what we cannot complete alone, we are then no longer alone. Nor will we ever be another day of our lives.

Our Premise

2009-10-23T05:40:00.000-07:00

Today our premise is our defenselessness. We dress ourselves in it, we breathe it in as we get ready to gather the day to us. We rise up strong in faith, and let our limitations disappear, as we remember that true power abides in us. We will remind ourselves that this power resides in all of us without exception, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by its strength. We call upon this might each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment, as that small voice reminds us "I am here" and with that that the power of the universe stands behind each step we take into this new world without defenses. Now is when our practicing takes on genuine caring with the intensity of Love, this will keep our mind on track, from wandering from our main intent which is to approached the day unburdened and free. There can be no doubt for in this is a brave new adventure, certainly not for the weak or timid. But we are none of those things, today we show the world our strength that shines through without our defenses in the way, in this quest for inner awareness we will fail not. For the light that shines through us will bring our brothers and sisters from both near and far to see the beauty of who in reality we all are. Each of these is a gift from God, each time two meet a miracle is present, let us reach out and grab that miracle for us both. In thanksgiving let us release every barrier we have built against the beauty of this moment, for we only lay aside what was never real, let us look upon on another and rejoice. This is the final stage of our journey and a practice worth pursuing, for upon this foundation is a life of tears given up laughter and love. Fortunate are we who have each other, for together we find the truth, the ability to trust and to love, and the joy that comes with giving. As distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God in meditation. Nor will we willingly give less at night, in gratitude and joy. We are free, we are free at last.

A Game That Happy Children Play

2009-10-22T04:24:00.000-07:00

Today let us be still a moment, and in silence think how holy our purpose is, how secure our rest, untouchable within this light. We have chosen that the truth of defenselessness be ours. We who are beauty incarnate, find that our happiness is fully guaranteed? What defense could possibly be needed by the ones who are among the chosen ones of God, first by His choice and confirmed by our own? This business of free will is a tale spun by the world; the only free will is the will we share with all of creation to function as one of God's own, to help our brothers and sisters choose to give up their defenses in favor of the power of the universe. Love has elected all, but few have come to realize that this is their will. For we will not see the light, until we offer it to all our brothers and sisters, as they take it from our hands, so will we recognize it as our own. Helping one another in our defenselessness are we safe and approachable. This turning can be thought of as a game that happy children play. It was designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace our fearful thoughts with joyous games, which teach us that the game of fear is gone and the happiness of life restored. This game is a lesson in happiness because there is no loser. For all who play must win, and in this winning is the gain to everyone ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside, when children come to see the benefits defenselessness brings. For us who have played that we are lost to hope, abandoned and left alone in a fearful world; we can be happy now. That silly game is over. Now a quiet time has come, in which we put away the toys of guilt, and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of what the world has meant forever from the pure and happy mind of the Children of light

Escape from Madness

2009-10-20T06:19:00.000-07:00

This is the day that ushers change into our life, provided we allow the day to unfold without the help or assistance of our preconceived ideas. This power, this power of defenselessness, more accurately perhaps, is that our defenselessness allows us to be aware of the power that transcends all time and space. This is our sure safety and peace of mind. Because here in the present moment none of our past exists and from here with out judgment the future holds everything, let us take a few minutes this morning and repeat the simple idea that "Defenselessness is Strength" let these words settle in to the quiet that results from our meditation. The most amazing thing happens, out of the quiet comes the sure conviction we are the creators of our fate. The world has been set up to keep the Children of God from realizing who and what we are. We have been the slaves yet today do we become the Masters, for it is within our mind that all reality is given birth We are part of a consciousness that exists above eye level. Those same powers that cause a rose to flower and unfold are the same power that encourages us to look beyond the obvious, past the apparent, past the frenzy and intensity of worry and concern for our safety. To return to the present moment, like a breath of fresh air for we are here unencumbered from our preconceived ideas our self taught terror, the present moment is indeed where defenselessness reigns supreme. Defenselessness is a characteristic of true strength for it places faith in our own reality. Who can stand against us with the creator of the Universe stands with us? Our thinking is the only thing that ever stands in our way, ever limits us, that ever causes us any kind pain. Let practice being defenseless today, and as with all things practice makes and creates new habits to take the place of the old fight and attack mentality.

2009-10-19T04:11:00.000-07:00

What a fantastic day lies in front of us, this week we are going to focus on the idea of defenselessness. The world we live in gives rise to defenses; it is how the world operates. Protection from germs, financial worries, and most of all and worst of all protection from each other, Is it no wonder it never occurs to us to look inside. We have been trained from birth to keep our attention on the world in which we see. Attack and defense the two catch all's of the world of judgment and sorrow. Attack can be made to seem genuine but defenses are the subtle foe that exacts the costliest price. Our core values of Love, Trust, Truth and Giving all wither on the vine while we build our defenses. For who are we to Love? Certainly not our attacker, and who are we to trust? You get the gist of this thought process. Our defenselessness is our strength not our weakness, to simply let everything be. The fact that we do not have own best interests in mind all stems from the attack and defend thought process. There is power in us that remains hidden, a power in us that begs to burn brightly, there is power in us that is all powerful, yet walks this world in defenselessness, a power that Loves no matter what, a power that Trusts each and every time a child of God is present, a power that delights in the truth and looks past seeming reality, a power that desires to Give each and every minute of the day because this power knows that the more we give. . . the more we get. Tell that to your Economics professor and he will look at you like you are from outer space. But the courage to live the life of Love means that we are amongst the minority not the majority. The time we spend in quiet reflection allows us to give up our old beliefs and habits; it allows us to glimpse this power and to feel it cleanse our mind. This week we will practice the fine art of defenselessness ask today in your meditation and realize the truth of the words we speak.

Thank You

2009-10-16T04:44:00.000-07:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the day in which we find our selves. Gratitude for the goodness in our lives will breed more goodness. Opportunity offers yet . . . you guessed it even more opportunity. Ever hear the saying "the rich get richer"? It works with what ever adjective you want to use. Gratitude offers everything we want for it recognizes the good things in our life. Who among us doesn't wish to feel satisfied? So let us build on this momentum and spend some time today seeing the exact life we want. Bring those thoughts and ideas into focus and actually spend a little time living that life. Our minds create our world and this is in fact just how it is done. To be grateful for all that we are, all that we have. With these thoughts in mind constantly so will we be more than we are and have more than we do. Gratitude is some powerful stuff. If we can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet as if we own only in imagination, then we have has real faith. We will get what ever we desire; we will cause the creation of whatsoever we want. Our part is only formulating the desire for the larger life and to fit this vision into our constant thought, our constant thought. However, we do not do this as a mere day dreamers; we hold to the FAITH that gratitude has built. This is the reality of our thoughts being realized, and to the PURPOSE of that realization. Remember that it is faith and purpose in the use of the imagination which make the difference between the scientist and the dreamer. And having learned this fact, it is here that we learn the proper use of the Will, the great power that resides inside us all. This power can also be used in our families, relationships and communities, for we are all part of a bigger whole. Let think and speak of only what we want and what we are grateful for, so that we may present our selves to the world as we truly are abundant, powerful, gentle and kind, with concern for each other and the capacity for everything.

2009-10-15T04:20:00.000-07:00

What an absolutely fabulous day, a day in which our conscious thought brings us together and closer to our selves. The topic of Gratitude was broached yesterday and today we will continue with the thought that alone can cure all our ills. There is a power in the Universe that attracts like energies. So a thankful heart is a positive affirmation of the goodness that exists in our life. The Universe then will send more goodness, and on the same note if we tend to dwell on the negative aspects of our lives . . . guess what we get more of the same. Creating an endless cycle of disappointment and regret yet are we our own masters. We write the script in our lives, we get what we think about. It is not so much life that needs to change but how we think about life. Faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon our mind produces faith; and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. If we have no feeling of gratitude . . . we cannot hope to retain a living faith; and without a living faith we cannot learn to connect life with learning. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to us; and to give thanks continuously. So the work that we do, the prayer and meditation that allows us to truly know who and what we are also provides us all the answers to every problem that seems to present itself. When I say we get what we think about does not infer we will have a problem free life, yet in the renewal of our mind does each problem present new opportunities for learning. Gratitude grants this insight, for gratitude ushers in the spirit of Love, and being the Children of Love that is all we ever need - Love. So find a way to be grateful for every thing in your life remember that nothing absolutely nothing happens without the ability to take even tragedy and turn it in to a Loving lesson that reminds the Child of God that he/she is more than this world can ever express. Let us be good to each other today.

2009-10-14T04:20:00.000-07:00

What a great day to fall in love with the idea of gratitude. Gratitude seems to make everything a little sweeter. Gratitude turns what we have in to plenty and more. Gratitude unlocks the door to a richness that was unseen before. Gratitude turns acquaintances in to friends, a meal into a feast. It seems to cause the world to shine a little brighter, it turns willingness in to action and brings to the light of day to all the little lies we tell our selves. Simple thanks for each annoyance can bring insight rather than judgment. A thankful heart somehow makes sense of our past and relieves us of regret; it brings peace in to the present moment and inspires hope for a brighter tomorrow. To fall in love with Gratitude is to bring to our visage and kindness and gentleness that can be seen by every one. It encourages our core values to rise to every occasion. To think of Love first, to trust in each other and to trust in our selves, truth is another character asset of gratitude and when we are thankful our only thought is to share what we have found. Giving becomes a priority for no other reason than simply to give. Life becomes effortless when proper order is restored to the mind. Not the gray matter that sits between a pair of ears but the mind we share the true power in the universe, where each and every stranger appears as a long awaited friend, happy is the day that is filled with Gratitude.

Wanting Everything

2009-10-13T06:38:00.000-07:00

A beautiful Fall morning and with it a whole new outlook, a fresh day in which to try some new ideas, create new habits to replace the old ones. To let go of the old ideas that no longer serve any useful purpose. A day to believe, a day to step out on to the branch and dare our selves to succeeded. Our brilliance is ready to shine, to burst forth and blossom into the world. No one actually wants madness in their life, but who in simply honesty would not agree that many of our thoughts and actions were just that . . . madness. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds and therefore change our thinking which results in changed actions which deliver much different results. In what life would paint as difficult does our practice make easy because in servitude to Love there is no compromise. To compromise would be to accept a part of what we want: our biggest problem has been for settling for anything other than everything. We do not have to buy in to anybodies version of our life. Our vision comes to us in that quiet time we spend with our inner guide that quiet voice that speaks for the champion that lives within us all. This is the hero of this mad dream we have called life, this still small voice gently reminds us of our origin, urges us to listen, to speak slowly and to cherish every interaction we have with another. "I'd rather change my mind and succeed, than have my own way and fail." (Proverbs 13:18) Every time we become willing does this voice grow with strength and hope, for a Child of God has chosen the way home, and Heaven bursts out in song each time this happens.

2009-10-12T05:45:00.000-07:00

On this day let us rejoice "Life needs us to be fierce and fiercely devoted . . . wild and dangerous, unfettered and free. Adventure requires something of us, puts us to the test . . . an invitation to adventure." John Eldridge. Our lives are meant to be lived in epic proportions with each day as an opportunity to make a better version of our selves. All this requires risk, to step out and in to our lives. Look around, the world breeds safety and caution when in reality we long for adventure, This is the great restlessness that is mistaken for a thousand woes. We have a challenge to face and a battle to fight, a risk to take all the ingredients of a good fireside tale of heroics. Make a difference in every life we come in contact with, help some one out and help someone up, offer a smile and risk the exhilaration of being satisfied with our selves. Are we boldly embracing this day and all our encounters with confidence? Fear has the world hidden and afraid of each other, we are the fortunate few who walk on the high road of salvation knowing that is in our relationship with each other is the most important part of our spiritual adventure. Shakespeare said "all the worlds a stage the men and women merely players" Well the stage is set and we have been cast into the role the fearful masses could never imagine, daring in our courage to accept life on life's terms. We have an obligation to distinguish our selves as people worthy of friends and followers. Let the rest of the world lose their heads to the news and worry of our day. None of this can affect us in any way for we have awoken to the truth about our selves. Today is the day we choose to reveal the real us to the world.

Prayer

2009-10-11T05:43:00.000-07:00

This is the day we gather ourselves and reflect on our devotion and desire to affect change in our lives. We have made the tough choices and we have put in the work. We have taken the time to quiet our mind and to listen to Gods voice that resides inside. Our prayers today come in the form of letting go to the power of Love. Nothing is needed here, this is a conversation between a Loving Father and his child where the child but listens to the smooth and gentle voice that teaches and urges the remembering of our true thoughts the thoughts we share with Him. Our prayers today are a stepping aside of what we think we need, because there never was anything to ask, we have everything, being everything. Prayer today is a recollection of the power instilled to each of us on the day of our creation, how shall we entreat, we are fully entitled to everything Love has to offer, and Love has everything to offer. It is to this Love we embrace in our prayer. On this Sunday, this day of rest; let us release our selves from our selves. Time to rest, to listen; time to look upon our brothers and sisters for the first time as brothers and sisters, not as an intellectual thought, but in a gut knowing truth kind of way. Our problems begin and end in our relationship with each other. We are one and today in our quiet time we think in terms of absolutes, none of the could 'a, should 'a, would 'a, ought 'a be's. We simply do not know. As we step away from ourselves we can finally see ourselves.

2009-10-09T05:32:00.000-07:00

The relationships that we are given are the most holy and sacred trusts known to us. They are one of the most significant things in our lives. Each one is an opportunity to let go, to change our mind, to willingly forgive and allow compassion in to our lives. To open our selves to an expanded awareness of our own capacity of spirituality and love, the quality of our relationships looms large on the value of our lives. This then is a love story of sorts one in which our peace and happiness resides in our acceptance and love of our brothers and sisters. These are the tales told across time and cherished in eternity. For each and every time forgiveness is offered it given but to our selves, and the company of heaven celebrates each time an ancient hatred is land aside in place of love for each other. For this is a time and place where the universe is put on notice, a child of God has chosen the path home. The courage to make this shift is found along side that still small voice for reason that lives in each and every one of us. The voice for calm amidst the storm, the voice for love against all apparent appearances, this is the test of true strength. The strength to believe in a world of gentleness, a world of plenty, a world fairy tales and wishes come true. A world filled with wonder and surprise. That voice, the voice for love that calls us home. God himself placed this reminder inside each of us to point the way and the way is through our relationships hand in hand on the road of adventure and surprise. For no good tale ever starts amongst the boring and predictable, let us go out today a live a life of epic proportion, forgive big, love deeply and let us conquer the fears we have inside, slay the dragons, rescue the fair damsels, and fight the good fight for peace within our mind.

2009-10-08T06:30:00.000-07:00

Today is the day, the day to change, to Believe We Can Change The gifts that stem from the Spirit are ours for the asking--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control-these can all grow in our thought life, these can all grow in our life we share with each other. Just as life insists on growth and multiplication, so the seeds must be planted in our mind: The way we think determines the way we feel, and the way we feel determines the way we act. God gave us all the power to change our habits when he gave us the power to choose our own thoughts." Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind". (Romans 12:2). The great battles fought in this world the fiercest of all is the battle that rages in our mind. All exterior battles but reflect these inner conflicts that reside in us all, let us take the few minutes for only a few minutes is required to quiet our mind, to look deep inside and find the home for truth, the truth about ourselves, the truth about each other for they are one in the same. For in this recurring theme is the missing ingredient center our thoughts on the betterment of our brother and the world delivers that same concern into our lives for we are one in the same. The renewal of our mind is the ability to live in integrity, to love the unlovable and to forgive the unforgivable these are the mistaken beliefs that need to be transformed. Because we are all one creation, one thought, one love. The distance between us is the only gap we need to bridge. When we make peace within our selves, amongst the issues we think we have with each other, does life finally begin to make sense.

The Expansion of Life

A seed falls to the ground from the tree and springs to life, that act of life produces a hundred more seeds that will in turn spring to life. Life is forever wanting to become more, for in the more is life's purpose. Our thoughts and intelligence are under the same necessity for constant and continuous increase, for in every thought is the birth of yet another, our consciousness is continually expanding. Each new thing we learn about ourselves leads us with a desire to learn even more. Every talent we cultivate brings to mind yet another possibility. We are at the center of this life process for in our mind is the direction life takes, seeking to express these thoughts in the world. In order to know more, do more, and be more we must have more; we must have things to use, for we learn, and do, and become, only by using things. We must be more, so that we can live more. The desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment; every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility to come into action. It is power seeking to manifest which causes desire. That which makes you want more money is the same as that which makes the plant grow; it is Life, seeking fuller expression. Let us live larger, think even larger and expand our awareness, expand our thoughts and reach out to our brothers and sisters and bring them in to this grand design. It was meant for everyone nothing is outside Life's plan for unlimited expansion.

Life's Purpose

Today let us take some absolutes into our morning meditation. Persistence is one of the great success factors; if we persevere long enough we will always accomplish the task set in front of us. This business of controlling our thoughts which in turn controls our world, this is tough stuff because the responsibility lies firmly with us. Hope and gratitude are the traits that help us to rise above the pettiness of our thoughts past our imagined slights and injuries. The world is waiting for us waiting for our talents and desires to spring forth. Love is trying to live and do and enjoy things through us. Love is saying "I want hands to build wonderful structures, to play divine harmonies, to paint glorious pictures; I want feet to run my errands, eyes to see my beauties, tongues to tell mighty truths and to sing marvelous songs,". All that there is of possibility is seeking expression through us. Love wants those who can play music to have pianos and every other instrument, and to have the means to cultivate their talents to the fullest extent; Love wants those who can appreciate beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things; Love wants those who can discern truth to have every opportunity to travel and observe; Love wants those who can appreciate fashion to be beautifully clothed, and those who can appreciate good food to be luxuriously fed. Life is waiting on us to get over our past and look expectantly in to the present moment because here is heaven on earth, and with us are all our brothers and sisters. this abundance is a mind set a way of thinking and is for us all, each and every one without exception.

Love subtle call to . . .

Love's offering is subtle and its rewards have lasting effects. A smile here and forgiveness there offers us a new moment to experience our lives and a new level in awareness. Our awakening comes with these small insights in the appreciation of each other. For no one remembers God without the acknowledgement of their brothers and sisters. So if they are a part of us then it would make sense that they are the ones who can teach us who we are, for our learning is a result of what we chose to teach them. For in how we see them is how we see our selves. Every man and woman has the natural and inherent power to think what they want to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances. To think according to appearance is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work we are called upon to perform. This is a labor with endless rewards, there is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world. This is especially true when truth is contrary to appearances. Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding form in the mind which observes it; and this can only be prevented by holding to the thought of the TRUTH. The truth about each and every one of us is so contradictory to the images the world offers us that without Love all would be lost. Today we practice that conscious continual thought of Love, of the truh about our selves and the world around us.

Sunday

2009-10-04T06:58:00.000-07:00

Today, the day of days for it is the only one we have. How can we become increasingly aware of the presence of Love except by its effects? For we can not see Love, touch Love, hear Love. How then do we know Love exists? Because the language of love is written on each of our hearts and we can see the effects of love in our relationships with each other. If we inspire joy in others, if we bring a smile to their face even if we are not feeling joyful there is something that tells us love exists in us even if on a very small level. The doubts that enter our thoughts about the existence of love come from the events were joy is not the result, so where we were full of love with Jack with Jane not so much . . . why do we torment our selves so very much. This means this and that means that. What if we were wrong about everything? How many of you just panicked? As willing as we are to maybe change our mind about our suffering there are things we must be sure of, that we know we are sure of . . . why? What if we were wrong about everything? What if only in our meditation today we let this idea flourish, what if we asked this question of Love, in the quiet when all that exists is goodwill and compassion for each other for in the quiet there is nothing else. That's why it's called the quiet, this is Loves home. This is also our strength, our commitment, our curiosity, and our child lives here; this is where all questions need to asked and answered in gentle quietness. This is where the conflicts of the world disappear and self assurance reigns supreme for here there are no doubts here the child of God sits in the quiet and accepts everything he sees in love and gratitude with compassion and understanding for the misconceptions of the world. There is nothing here but the Love in which we were created, take the time to quiet the mind and all doubt will leave our thoughts. Let us gather our strength today for a new week awaits.

The morning brings with it the anticipation of a new day, the promise of new experiences and new lessons to be learned. The students of life are those who fall in love with learning, who uncover the rocks and look inside, who are willing to try something new, let go of the past and walk bravely into the present moment for what it is, a new experience for here is an opportunity to live a moment never lived before, by anyone, here is the opportunity for a new experience quite unlike anything we have ever done. Sometimes we just sort of lose sight of what's going on in our lives. We're unaware and when we're unaware, it can create problems for us. Today lets us give some extra time to turning over the rocks and looking inside, into places that have not seen the light if day for years. Then let us spend some time creating and dreaming, asking ourselves what do we want . . . what do we want to improve . . . what about our health . . . WHAT DO WE WANT? The answers are all there for us and the means to accomplish them as well. We are what we think about. If we regret the past and lament on that . . . well the past will do nothing but continue to repeat it self. If we are thinking that success and happiness await us we will find our selves successful and happy, this solidarity self appraisal is difficult though that is why it always helpful to have mates searching on the same path, trudging the same road. Open up, trust some one with your fears, and then entrust them with your dreams. Seek and offer help to the billions that occupy this life with us nothing but happiness awaits each time we tear down a wall that once keep us apart from our brothers and sisters. The habit becomes contagious because when you experience of broadening your mind a constant searching and craving to learn more and more about ourselves and each other because it's not the job, the house, the car . . . life is the experience of each other.

The closer we get to our goal the more obstacles the world will place in our path, sayings like "It is always darkest before the dawn" were created to lift the spirits of men and women who trudge the road of happy destiny. What nobody tells you is that road is filled with work and a honest self appraisal which would send lesser individuals running for cover. The courage to face ones own fear musters the courage of legends, and creates a tale of epic proportion. This is the life we take when we offer a hand to our brother, for in building a relationship with him will all our dirty laundry come out, and relationships with the opposite sex bring different yet equally terrifying realities to light. The good news of course it is much easier to look past the perceived faults of our fellow than those of our own, and like all things done well, practice is the key. So we practice loving each other, test the waters by sharing some secrets about our selves and then listen as the trust we established is returned to us in kind. When we quiet our mind and focus our attention on another only love rises to the occasion. For this is what we were created for to aid our brothers and sisters in this journey we are on together. We were created as one and as one we will return, for it is in our brothers and sisters were the memory of our family resides and with that, the memory of our home. For we are strangers here and anyone who walks this earth knows in their heart that this is true. The return home is accomplished hand in hand as we walk through this life that we share together.
