When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. Think of it – always.… – St. Francis De Sales
Whenever we despair we must remind ourselves that this night too shall end.
No matter the situation, love always triumphs. The early dawn light is just around the corner…

A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl. – Stephan Hoeller
When injury and hurt engulfs our lives, the last thing we can fathom is the beauty that’ll emerge from the experience. Let’s try to fully experience what’s transpiring so that we can draw out the essence of Life.
Only over the much longer term, from a greater perspective and when enough time has passed can we possibly behold the ‘pearl’ that emerged from our sufferings.

Jesus taught his followers that, when they had made their prayers to the Father, they should remain for a time in silent receptivity to afford the indwelling spirit the better opportunity to speak to the listening soul. – The Urantia Papers
No matter how life is going for us there’s an essential need to connect with ‘All That Is’. God provides the strength we need to live through tough times as well the perspective we need when things are going really well. Let’s not forget what’s most important. Let’s attempt to connect daily…
God speaks to us, he does so constantly. Prayer allows us to make that connection. Immediately after our mental effort to speak to the Father Of All in prayer, we should relax and just sit in still receptivity. This is the most powerful way to connect with divinity and ultimate reality. God sustains us all…
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still and receive God’s love for me…

How can one meditate on life without meditating too on its brevity, its precariousness, its fragility? – André Comte-Sponville
Extremely fragile. Just this morning (2/24/2012) I learnt that a close teenaged relative suffered a sudden brain aneurysm, collapsed and is in the hospital right now undergoing surgery. We are all praying hard. Please pray with us.

Kabir Sinha my 15 year old nephew is in critical condition after a brain hemorrhage. He’s at the Morristown Memorial Hospital in NJ. The next day or two are very important. Please keep his photo in your mind’s eye and bathe his entire being in healing golden light. He will heal just fine when we do that, thanks!!!
Life is over before we know it. How can we use this Truth to make the most of life? How should we express our love to everyone around us? What will we regret if we don’t?

Do not want others to know what you have done? Better not have done it anyways. – Chinese Sayings
It’s almost impossible to have integrity 24 x 7! It’s hard to be who we truly are. It’s hard to not gossip. It’s hard to be 100% honest in all our dealings. It’s hard to not tell a white lie. It’s hard to be real. It’s hard to have full integrity.
On the other hand imagine the opposite; where we can be who we are (without hurting anyone), we can say to people what we think on their face and we can be honest inside/out and in every which way possible! Imagine such fearless living!
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM real!

The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
Why is a still mind desirable? Only from the vantage point of a quiet and still mind can we begin to understand. We can understand what’s going on and where we might venture next…
Imagine standing in front of a clear, still and reflective pond. The pond reflects a perfect blue sky, the evergreen trees and snow-capped mountains around it. It also allows one to peer into its depths. Such a pond can our mind be. It takes just 10 minutes, twice a day. Will we do it?
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still.

If we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we’re all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we’ve done all our lives pointless. – Neale Donald Walsch
What if we’re all truly one, joined by a spiritual thread that proceeds from and ends in God? How will we live our lives today?
What if life is eternal? How will that knowledge guide our actions today?
Daily Affirmation: Today I think about eternity…
