Feel Alive!

«Do you want to feel alive? Keep your need to progress for as long as possible. There is still so much power lying dormant in you, waiting to be awakened! Why allow it to remain dormant? You meet people who are only fifty or sixty years old, or even less, and they already seem dead and buried. Yes, you can already even see the tombstone covering them, and written on it, ‘Here lies so-and-so’. Why?...


Even if you feel tired, even if old age is on the way, you have to tell yourself there is always progress to be made, something to understand, something to embark on, and that you should never accept lethargy and stagnation. Even if you are paralysed or dying, there is still something left to do… if only to thank heaven. Yes, thank heaven, so that when you enter the other world you will still be alive.»

The Pure Heart

The heart which loves the living God more than myth or mystery, person or creed, is not a human heart. The pure in heart are equipped with spiritual Vision to perceive that there cannot be both one infinite pure Being and other finite impure mortals. We know the teaching of re-generation to be based upon the pagan myth of de-generation or the fall from perfection. We repudiate this doctrine, and further, illumined by our all-absorbing devotion to Truth and Reality, we refuse to accept the religious teaching of an evil power or entity which is called by such names as devil, Satan, enemy, adversary, error, mortal mind or animal magnetism.

Trust Even When You Cannot Trust

However painful, intense or chaotic, each and every moment of your life is an absolutely inevitable, necessary and ingenious moment of growth, a necessary step on the path that can never actually be lost, for even 'going wrong' would be a moment, and therefore inevitable, necessary and completely ingenious.

And so what is left, but to sink deeply into Trust, even when you cannot trust at all, for even 'not being able to trust' is a moment, ingenious and inevitable, and can be trusted absolutely.

The Power of your Love

« Whether you get what you want depends on how loving you are. It is your love that creates your future, for each person’s destiny is determined by the quality of the love they bear in their soul. Only a pure, disinterested love, a love for what is great and beautiful, will lead them to have encounters and experience events that fulfill their expectation.

What conclusion can we draw from this truth? That if you aspire to a new life, a life of beauty, peace and light, you must not be content to make a few small changes in your various activities, such as drinking water instead of wine, eating vegetables instead of ham or roast chicken, reading a few books on spirituality and listening to sermons instead of going dancing, and so on. Unless you try to elevate the nature of your love and set your heart on the noblest, most spiritual things, you can change whatever else you like, the nature of the love you feel inside will bring you back the same difficulties, the same suffering. People speak of the power of love… Well, that is what it is: you create your future with what you love and the way you love it. »

Daily Tasks - Do not try to shirk them.

"Each day you have to confront new situations, new problems. The family, your work and those around you are forever presenting you with obligations, efforts to be made and tasks to be accomplished. Whatever the nature of these tasks, try to carry them out to the best of your ability. If you neglect them, because you find them tedious or not worthy of you, you slow down your evolution, and anyway you have to accept that at some time or other you will have to come back to complete them.

Anyone who thinks they can escape their obligations and have an easier, more pleasant life knows nothing of the severe laws that rule destiny. If so many men and women are struggling in the midst of so many difficulties, it is because they are having to finish some interrupted work, or else begin it again because they did it badly. If they try to avoid it once again, these tasks will be even more onerous when they come back. You will say there are times when your situation becomes intolerable. Well, go for a breather somewhere for a moment, and then come back again to face it."

A Prayer

O God, all hearts are open to you.
You perceive my desire.
Nothing is hidden from you.
Purify the thoughts of my heart
with the gift of your Spirit, that I may love you with a
perfect love and give you the praise you deserve.
Amen.

(The Cloud of Unknowing)



Regard Your Life As Auspicious

Beloveds, please listen:

It is not wise to compare your life to that of others, for each life stream is unique and is the expression of pure spirit and being. Know within your heart that your life is tailor-made for awakening in response to the will of the Supreme Being. Even if great hardship comes your way, don't complain, judge or fall into self-pity. Don't waste energy like this. Rather, use these same difficulties and circumstances to sharpen your powers of discernment and to intensify your drive for Liberation and freedom from all psychological conditioning and evil forces.

You are here as life itself flowing towards its own divine source.  Regard your life as auspicious.

"People need God and God needs people"

"But why then are we trapped in this apparent world of time and space? Why do we believe our boundaries? Why does the divine Source bother to create such an elaborate fantasy? The answers to these questions are best summarized by the beautiful statement from the Kabbala: “people need God and God needs people”. It seems that being Eternal and Infinite can be a bit boring. Or that even God can get lonely, and crave a playmate. Or that God is like a great artist or inventor, with so much creative talent that it simply must make things. Creation begins when, once upon a time, on the still surface of perfection, an urge or desire for something else bubbles up, like a wrinkle in timelessness. And from this wrinkle, the created world, a sub-division of infinity, begins."

I Am Touched By The Light

I am not touched by 'bad' things happening. I am touched by expressions of kindness, selflessness and openness. I am touched by acts of faith, trust and courage which spring from an egoless heart.

I am touched by the light, wisdom and presence of God shining out of the heart, mind and body of living beings devoted to Truth. I am not touched by the devil. I am touched by God and the living company of the seekers of Truth.

I See My Beloved Everywhere

“God holds the earth as if it was his lover and speaks with the most tender feelings to all in existence as He spoke to me, Look, my child, I have made a bride for you, but she is shy; so how are you to consummate this relationship? I want all souls to consummate with me, so I devised a plan: As each soul nears heaven differences will dissolve to such sublime extent that when the heart looks upon the object in this world it will cry 'Beloved!' and passionately run into an embrace with me. That blessed grace I now know. I see my Beloved everywhere.

All Is one

Ask: "If in the world all things appear different, how can I consider all as one? Is there any way of gaining this knowledge?" The reply is: "In the same tree we see leaves, flowers, berries and branches, different from one another, yet they are all one because they are all included in the word 'tree'. Their root is the same; their sap is the same. Similarly, all things, all bodies, all organisms are from the same source and activated by a single life principle." 

Therefore all is one.

Be Born Again


"It all starts with your habitual thoughts. Thoughts and beliefs with a high, ecstatic vibration create a flourishing life and flourishing biology. Thoughts of negativity, fear, anger, and dread create exactly the opposite. And over time, these kinds of thoughts manifest as your reality—in your body. And though it’s not possible to access and change all of our adverse beliefs in a day, it is possible, right this very moment, to use your own power to change your point of focus."

Prayer

"The answer to prayer is in the prayer when it is prayed - the belief of the one praying sets in motion the Law of Love, which is the fundamental Law of the Universe."

Be Still!

Be still and listen today to the quietness of The Soul.  Look past the form into the Light.  There is much peace in that space.

The Eternal Presence

Today I Consciously Live In The Eternal Presence.

 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ~ Matthew 6:33

Then, in this way know God; as having all things in Himself as thoughts, the whole Cosmos itself. ~ Thrice-Greatest Hermes*

Jesus said "... and the Kingdom of Heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.  Strive therefore to know yourselves, and ye shall be aware that ye are the sons of the Father; and ye shall know that ye are in the City of God, and ye are that City." ~ Fragments of a Faith Forgotten**

Today I consciously live in The Eternal Presence.  The kingdom of heaven is within me and I live in the City of God.  I am one with all  other  citizens who inhabit this celestial metropolis.  Here, in true communion of Spirit, I find unity, peace and joy.

My Way Is Perfect Before Me

The unerring judgment of Divine Intelligence directs my faith and makes plain and perfect The Way before me.

What I Know Now

I know now that my Spirit is free from all limitation.  I know that I understand the Truth about myself.

*  I Am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. ~ Genesis 17:1

* Whoever knows the God who is without commencement, without end, who within this impervious world is the creator of the universe, who is of an infinite form, the one penetrator of the universe, becomes liberated from all bonds. ~ Upanishad

*  Thus it is that the Tao produces (all things), nourishes them, brings them to their full growth, nurses them, completes them, matures them, maintains them and overspreads them. ~ The Tao Te Ching.

*  I KNOW that my spirit is free from all limitation; that my physical body and my objective affairs reflect and manifest the perfection which I feel; the wholeness which I am certain of, and the prosperity which rightfully belongs to me. ~ Ernest Holmes

Speak Your Deepest Truth

Speak your deepest truth, even if it means losing everything - your pride, your status, your image, even your way of life.

A life of lies and half-truths, the burden of unspoken things, will eventually suffocate you and everyone around you.

Give up everything for a truthful existence. Know that you can only lose what's non-essential.
