Leave a comment

The body, mind and emotions are instruments which can be used by either the self-centered nature or the God-centered nature.  – The Peace Pilgrim

a role model

In my early years of enquiry into the spiritual life Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder was a major influence. She’s more popularly known as The Peace Pilgrim. Her story is an amazing one. Her life was the message, a message of finding inner peace and spreading it via contact with others. She walked, literally hiked, all over the United States for 28 years of her life, walking the talk instead of just talking about it! You may download or order a printed copy of her inspiring book here.

her message

How To Unfold…

Leave a comment

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.  – Oscar Wilde

we hide

We hide behind a façade that’s manufactured by us and over time lose sight of how we were born. We are more concerned about how we appear to others. We don’t want to be hurt and certainly we don’t want to be exposed.

our essence

We are a unique expression of Universal Intelligence. We do have many rough edges, nevertheless we must expose our nature to the outside world. We must let go and thus experience our gifts to the world and to us. A child is more herself compared to how she’ll eventually grow up to be. We must be child-like. That’s a secret to happiness.

Raise your words not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.  – Rumi (the untold story)

anger

Many of us use our voices, especially its volume, to make a point! It’s so easy to get angry, a reflex action for most.

raise

What if we raised the quality of our ideas, our view of the person we’re talking to and raised the very vibration of the moment? What if we refused to get angry, but instead became thoughtful, understanding and patient?

Why We Must ‘Act’!

Leave a comment

You are quite capable of reacting in a happy and healthy manner to everything that happens to you. – Vernon Howard

react

We are creatures of habit, so we almost always react to most life situations. Especially as they relate to folks near and dear to us. Why is that?

act!

It’s funny, if we breakdown the word re-act, it connotes a meaning quite opposite of how it’s used [a thought-provoking sidebar]! Let’s act while being fully present and conscious of what we’re doing. That way we’ll design a far superior outcome than the most likely one!
