Where To Find Peace?

Leave a comment

There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.  – A Course in Miracles – ACIM

running?

We’re constantly running, just like our thoughts. Our thoughts are like the waves of an ocean. A deep calm lies under the apparent turmoil on the surface.

peace

We can readily access this peace. A first step is to become a watcher of our thoughts and not get carried away with them. The witness of these thoughts can be at peace. Try it…

a tryst

Our soul lives firmly in the present. When we (our ego-self) also arrive at the present moment we have a great opportunity at hand. We now have a tryst with divinity…

purpose

Everything is happening for a grand purpose. It’s our job to discover our own. The best way to do that is to stay in the current moment and be guided by the gentle leading of our soul…

How To Know Why We’re Unhappy…

Leave a comment

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.  – Jack Kornfield

self

How To Be A Designer!

Leave a comment

Only those who give over all desire to reject can know that their own rejection is impossible.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

designers

Mind is the laboratory and thoughts the instruments we use to create our life. Once we know how much our thinking impacts our life we realize the importance of designing our thoughts! Let’s be artists and paint beautiful thoughts for us and everyone else…

boomerang

How do we view life? How do we approach and judge people? The way we show up is how life shows up for us. The way we judge others (the energies we unleash), we are judged too, in other words ‘what goes around comes around’. Our judgmental thoughts follow the trajectory that we’ve triggered which is why we must design even our judgments!

Where’s Our Attention?

Leave a comment

Everyone is responsible for the thoughts they think and the things that they choose as their objects of attention.  – Abraham

our attention

It matters where we put our attention. Can we be masters and guide our minds appropriately? It really is up to us.

We are creators. Our creation comes from our attention, our thoughts and consequently our actions. Let’s be bold and create something beautiful in our lives. What’s stopping us?

Who’s Calling The Shots?

Leave a comment

Compel your lower nature to obey your higher nature...  – The Urantia Papers

hi or lo?

The lower nature is that which frets, worries, fears, feels less than, is jealous, always wants more and never satiated.

The higher nature is that which loves, is kind, serves, is confident, has faith, is peaceful, thoughtful, deliberate, motivated, and has a higher purpose.

who’s the boss?

We are and can be victims of genetics and generational, racial and national thought patterns. It can be tough to fight these built-in inertial forces. Because we are will creatures, it’s our prerogative and should be our life-goal to grow and design our life. Which is why we have a mind that’s really under our control. If such is not the case then how can we assert control? Who’s the boss?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the boss!

What Are We Afraid Of?

Leave a comment

We yearn for a moment’s peace and quiet, only to turn on the radio, make a phone call, or run an errand as soon as an opportunity for solitude presents itself.  – Ronnie Polaneczky

afraid to die?

We fill our life with motion. Incessantly. Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ponder

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it’s because we’re running away from ourselves. We do need action in life, just not constant action. At some level we’re afraid of facing our deep, apparently lonely, self. We feel more alive when we’re moving. Life is movement. When we’re still and without interaction; at a very deep level, we fear our mortality…

pause

Let’s pause; focus on our breathing. Slowly, find self calming down. Our mind will want to race, let it, don’t attach any attention to it or to its production, which are thoughts.

Once we start getting used to being still, at rest, a peace will start to descend, actually emerge from within. Then we will know that we’ve never been alone.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM pausing…
