Who’s running the show?

Leave a comment

The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show. – Leonard Cohen

There’s a greater intelligence, there’s a source from which all things, concepts, values, life and meaning proceed. At certain times of our lives or even during the course of a day, we can feel it, we can sense the underpinning of it all.

The trick is to recognize that power, realize that it runs through us and everyone else. Consciously accept it and allow it a free run in our life. Application of faith might be necessary initially.

Things start to happen when we do that. Try it.

A life of adventure

If you want guarantees in life, then you don’t want life. You want rehearsals for a script that’s already been written. – Neale Donald Walsch

We live fearful lives. We’re fearful of our health, material well being and of our very existence. For that reason we seek safety and guarantees, a quest on which we spend our entire lives. It’s a goal that can never be reached.

Safety and peace can only be found in accepting our lot. Accepting that certain things are just they way they are. Accepting that at the core we’re spiritual beings, beings that will never die. Accepting that nothing happens by accident, all that happens leads to a goal undecipherable, knowing that we’re all ultimately safe in this grand drama that plays all around us.

What are you afraid of?

How and where do you find your peace?

Your inner voice

Leave a comment

Everyone has an inner voice; you just have to listen to it and trust it in order to be led by it. I did that, and it gave me the ability to live a life that’s true to who I am. – Sissy Spacek

Have you paid attention to the still voice inside you? It’s always there, beckoning us towards love, attention, service, caring, dynamic action and the sure way ahead.

It takes the shape of hunches you receive, when you feel right on the inside, and you just know; or when a sudden thought pops into your head. Pay closer attention the next time, the more conscious your get the more it seems to be there.

Don’t miss out on this ever present and great resource. It’s where all the wisdom and love flows from too.

You are important to God

Leave a comment

The poet can only write the poems; it takes the reader to complete the meaning. – Nikki Giovanni

God is the master poet who writes profusely and with abandon. It is up to us to make meaning out of everything we see and experience. God’s there behind the scenes watching and participating in many more ways than one.

As we experience life and build our meaning and values, God finds that extremely powerful and valuable. He needs us as much as we need him. It takes two to tango and without us and our experience of living, relating and finding deep meaning, his whole creation would be for naught.

You are important to God, very important, always remember that, he can’t do without you, that’s how valuable you are.

Where art thou headed?

Leave a comment

If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going. – Professor Irwin Corey

What general direction are you headed with regard to your physical, mental and spiritual health?

Sometimes we feel that the future will take care of itself. Actually it does do that, all we have to do is fine tune our present. We must be happy and healthy now as far as possible, then the future takes care of itself.

Better to change direction as needed, NOW!

Quotes - 2009

If someone irritates you!

Leave a comment

If some one irritates you, causes feelings of resentment, you should sympathetically seek to discern his viewpoint, his reasons for such objectionable conduct. If once you understand your neighbor, you will become tolerant, and this tolerance will grow into friendship and ripen into love. – The Urantia Papers

Understanding and love among all is the only way the planet will eventually find peace.

How will such a thing happen? Not by God doing it for us or by some other magical means. It must be achieved little by little and one person at a time. It will only happen when you and I change. When such a change becomes apparent to our family and neighbors, they will wonder what it was that changed us!

Then the virus of love and understanding will spread to them and eventually to all we touch, which is the entire planet! This is the prescription for love, peace and happiness that we all seek!
