I walk slowly, but I never walk backward. – Abraham Lincoln
We are all in a daily rush to get nowhere…
When we…

He who would be greatest among you, let him become server of all. – Jesus, The Urantia Papers
Forget what society tells us, forget what we’ve been raised to believe, instead listen to what Spirit urges us to do…
Spiritual realities underscore our total existence. Our existence is like the visible spectrum of light. It’s such a tiny portion of the total light spectrum, which is like the Spirit world. Amazing things and much greater pursuits are in store for us once we’re done with this short but intense life experience on our planet.
Deep inside us but also in the periphery of our thoughts sits the Spirit. It’s constantly looking to impress upon us these greater realities. It tries and sometimes succeeds. When we experience ‘peace beyond all understanding’ then we’re following the leading of the Spirit. Spirit always leads to greater service and love towards one and all!
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a loving servant of all!

Just remember that the story you tell is the basis of your life. So tell it the way you want it to be. – Abraham
What story are we expressing daily? What do we tell self and others? Consciously or without full awareness? Here are some examples:
What story (across multiple dimensions) are we repeating all day long?
Recently a friend brought up the concept of a ‘default future’. That’s the future we guarantee ourselves if we don’t change our current thinking and actions…
Let’s rewrite our life stories. Let’s rewire our thinking to design a better ‘default future’:

The process of Mastery, then, is one of acceptance. It is a quiet embracing of what is. It is a non-resistance. It is a gentle walking into the moment, knowing that it holds for us, always, what is best for us [in] all ways. – Neale Donald Walsch
If there was ever one answer to the question, ‘How should one live daily’, it would be: ‘Embrace what is’…
We must recognize what is and embrace it fully. Then, while being led by Spirit, we can do all that might be necessary and possible. It’s like swimming down the river, flowing with it, without thrashing about, gently changing course towards one edge or the other… In this state we’re peaceful and we don’t compare our progress with any other swimmer because we know that the river itself is headed to the Ocean…
Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a believer, therefore I let go…

An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold. – Chinese Proverbs
What do we hold most important? What do our daily actions tell us about what’s most important to us? Are the two (our values & actions) congruent with each other? If not why? What are the gaps? What’s holding us back?
Once we know our values (most important to us) we must act. We must actualize those values into our lives. We must experience them. If family’s most important, as an example, then let’s:

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. – Thich Nhat Hanh
When it comes to joy does it matter why it exists? It only matters how we can create more joy, in us and around us… Joy is a function of human-hood, of association with other persons and of setting and achieving goals. As humans we can experience joy inherently. It’s something we were born to discover and experience.
We are not our thoughts. We identify with our thoughts and feel uncomfortable in silence or if our minds are not constantly engaged. What we can discover is that when we cease thinking, even if momentarily, we are nothing but pure awareness. This witnessing awareness, a faculty that is simply consciousness, must be nurtured. It’s here, in this stillness that pure joy can be experienced…
Daily Affirmation: Today I discover joy when I AM still!

But now," says the Once-ler, "now that you’re here, the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear. UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. – Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
You are here. You are listening. You know something’s afoot. Bigger changes have occurred in the last 50 years than in the preceding centuries. More changes are headed our way. How will we support the world-wide transition that’s underway? How will we individually and collectively act and collaborate?
Thank you for being you! Thank you for having an ear out for what’s going on. Thank you for participating…
Let’s keep our focus on what we care about individually and find opportunities to hook into larger efforts. With everyone participating according to their passion, the world is headed towards the transformation we’ve all sought for a long time. It’s coming, let’s be ready!
