Gratitude is just giving your fullest attention to something, experiencing it, and realizing its Presence—its aliveness. – Eckhart Tolle

the gift of presence

Each moment is alive, as is each seeming object, ‘out’ there. Everything comes alive thanks to our awareness of it. Awareness is us. And the highest love, and therefore the greatest gratitude comes from our gift of full attention to the person or object in front of us. Our thoughts distract us from the pure and spacious awareness that is us. Let’s realize our own presence!

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been. – Rainer Maria Rilke

the ever new year

Each moment has never been. Yet it is fully so, now, and forever. The mystery of this ever-new moment can never be solved. It can only ever be experienced. And so, this ‘New Year’ is always being born, with us in the very midst of it. In fact without us, 2019 can never be.

You’re altogether irreplaceable in the Mind of God. – ACIM

don’t worry, just be happy

We have zilch to worry about. Why? Because we’re an irreplaceable, unique and infinite thought in the mind of God. Any time we feel anxious or worry, we should just remind self: Where are we truly situated? Has God misplaced us?

Peace with God, peace with others and peace in your own heart. – Rick Warren

for peace

We all seek peace. Let’s make it our top goal this Christmas and for 2019! ‘Fear not’ said Jesus, peace be with you…

All thinking, any thought, is resisting ‘what is’. – www.NamasteNow.com

what is

Think about this quote. Actually, no, don’t think about it. Just be, let things be, relax into ‘What is’.

Thoughts are about the past, present or the future. They always take us away from ‘now’, from ‘what is’. Even thoughts about the present do the same thing. Are thoughts desirable?

Remember always that you cannot be anywhere except in the Mind of God. – ACIM

in the mind of god

We are the literal creations of the One Creator. We live and move in the very ‘body’ of of God. We can never not be in the mind of God. We suffer when we think we are separate from the underpinning of all reality. We have no reason to worry. We can chill and relax, all is well!

The ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna; the wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought for themselves. – Krishna – Gita

working for others

Only unselfish work that’s targeted for the benefit of others is truly satisfying. All work we do for self is ultimately meaningless because it has a very narrow purview. Divinely inspired outcomes and work is what we should aim for, we wither away, become anxious and depressed when we don’t do that.
