"If her past were your past, her pain your pain, her level of consciousness your level of consciousness, you would think and act exactly as she does. With this realization comes forgiveness, compassion, peace. The ego doesn’t like to hear this, because if it cannot be reactive and righteous anymore, it will lose strength"

Today's Blessing...
The One Power in life responds to what I think, feel, and believe, and if I
want my life to be better, I have to increase what I find myself capable of
believing. This isn't an impossible feat, it simply involves deepening my
understanding of what the universe is and how it works. Because the universe
is unlimited, and is always springing into form...and because it does this
by means of spiritual laws that are timeless, eternal, and unbound by any
precedent, I can create whatever I'm capable of holding the vision about.
Today I let my mind go deeper to the soul level than ever before, and
discover that I have within myself a true and fine vision for my life. I
hold a vision for my relationships, for my vocation, for my world. I am
willing to know what these visions are, for only by letting my mind flow
freely into the place of possibility can they become my reality. Spirit in
me knows how to take what I can believe in and make it real; it's just not
my job to figure out how it'll happen. My job is to know what I commit
myself to believing in.
Right now, I envision a life that's richer, more loving, and more satisfying
than I've ever imagined before. I know that the power of Spirit can create
this experience for me. I turn my attention from what I expect to receive
and put it towards what I long to give to my work, my loves, my family, my
community, and my world. I discover that by opening up to greater
possibility in this way, clearly establishing an intent in mind, and giving
the best of my self to all that I do, Spirit takes care of all the details.
So I give my best, and as I give, I receive. I give thanks for the wonderful
way the universe supports me in all things, and I hold true to my vision for
my life and my world. And they are made flesh.
And so it is.

Today's Blessing...
There is but One perfect experience and realization
of the Infinite Life. I am an embodiment of this beautiful
existence. A blessed manifestation of its descent into
human expression. I am a Being of this silent presence
returning to its parent Source.
In mind, I claim the calm sense of spiritual delight. Every
perception and vision spiritualized. All knowledge anointed
with the consummate power of Infinite Intelligence. In the
heart is seeded a passionate delight of universal union and love
and sympathy and the joy for all living beings and things. In the
will, I am the delight of Divine life power in action. The beauty
of the senses perceiving and meeting the One everywhere.
Celebrating the intense secret harmony of creation as the normal
aesthesis of all things. In body, I claim ecstasy of Spirit. This
energy pouring into me from the heights of Spirit. I am the peace
and bliss of a pure and spiritualized physical existence. I intone
my universal beauty and glory of Being. I am the Power of Self
in person.
I live, grateful, for this illumined universal consciousness that reveals
hidden lines, vibrations, powers, and harmonic significances within
my day. I love being the fundamental delight of a conscious Spirit.
And so it is.

Poem: All The True Vows by David Whyte
All the true vows
are secret vows
the ones we speak out loud
are the ones we break.
There is only one life
you can call your own
and a thousand others
you can call by any name you want.
Hold to the truth you make
every day with your own body,
don't turn your face away.
Hold to your own truth
at the center of the image
you were born with.
Those who do not understand
their destiny will never understand
the friends they have made
nor the work they have chosen
nor the one life that waits
beyond all the others.
By the lake in the wood
in the shadows
you can
whisper that truth
to the quiet reflection
you see in the water.
Whatever you hear from
the water, remember,
it wants you to carry
the sound of its truth on your lips.
Remember,
in this place
no one can hear you
and out of the silence
you can make a promise
it will kill you to break,
that way you'll find
what is real and what is not.
I know what I am saying.
Time almost forsook me
and I looked again.
Seeing my reflection
I broke a promise
and spoke
for the first time
after all these years
in my own voice,
before it was too late
to turn my face again.

I Appreciate That...
Every time you say, "I appreciate that. I really like that. I applaud that. I acknowledge the value in that." Every time you do that, you spend some of your Energy, and it is the spending of the Energy that creates a vacuum, so to speak, or an attraction, so to speak, that draws more and more and more and more.
--- Abraham

On this day of your life, Dear Friend, I believe God wants you to know...
...that tomorrow is the most important day of your life.
Your greatest moment, your greatest achievement, your
greatest adventure lies in the future, never in the past.
There is a new you waiting to be created tomorrow.
That is the joy and wonder of the dawn. That is the
excitement of it!
Forget about yesterday! What is the grandest version
of the greatest vision ever you held about Who You
Are going to be tomorrow? That is the only question
that matters.
Love, Your Friend....
Neale Donald Walsch
Living or Dying Without God
It is impossible to live or to die without God, but it is not impossible to think that you are.
If you think that you are living or dying without God, you will experience that you are.
You may have this experience as long as you wish. You may end this experience whenever you choose.

On this day of your life, dear friends, I believe God wants you to know...
.....that enthusiasm means everything.
Not just a little. Everything.
If you are involved in some kind of project right now,
or launching any personal endeavor, your enthusiasm
(or lack of it) will directly determine how successful
this undertaking will be.
If you are not excited at the core of your being by it,
drop it right now. If you are excited at the core of'
your being, demonstrate that in everything you think
and say and do.
You will not have to think but a second to know
exactly why you received this message today.
Love, Your Friend....
Neale Donald Walsch
Morning Blessing...
Today I begin the day with gratitude; I know that there is a power in
gratitude that opens the heart and makes me and my life ready for even
more blessings.
I take stock of all the facets of my life, and notice that even
where I am feeling challenged, there is a blessing to be thankful for.
Any time I'm being challenged, it's not a test from the Infinite! It's
nothing more than Spirit opening me up so that I may hold more Light,
reflect Spirit more perfectly, and be made whole.
I refuse to look at challenges as punishment, and I get rid of any ideas that
the path will always be fun or pleasurable.
I know that the universe is spiritual, and I
put my trust in the spiritual laws of this universe.
I know that under any situation, I can be carried forward in strength, in
grace, and in a clear understanding that even in confusion, Spirit is present.
Even in painful times, the support and comfort of Spirit is right in there
with me. By seeing in this way, I am able to give thanks in all things, rather
than just the things that are pleasant or easy.
And gratitude keeps me open to receive the guidance, the support, the
strength, and the wisdom I need to walk confidently through every day of
my life.
And for this, I am indeed in a state of perpetual gratitude.
And so it is.
Nothing Happens by Accident (Part 2)
Such was Jesus' compassion that He begged for a way -- and created it -- to so impact the world that all might come to heaven (Self realization) -- if in no other way, then through him. For he defeated misery, and death. And so might you.
The grandest teaching of Christ was not that you shall have everlasting life -- but that you do; not that you shall have brotherhood in God, but that you do; not that you shall have whatever you request, but that you do.
All that is required is to know this. For you are the creator of your reality, and life can show up no other way for you than that way in which you think it will.
You think it into being. This is the first step in creation. God the Father is thought. Your thought is the parent which gives birth to all things.
