Receiving Help

Leave a comment

We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey no one can take for us or spare us. –Marcel Proust

our journey

It’s true that no one can live our life for us even if we wanted that. That surely is part of the grand purpose of our existence. Experiencing life in our unique ways, becoming wiser, adding to God’s own experience in this eternal adventure that’s afoot, is some of the journey…

ask and receive

Turns out that even though we must live it ourselves and make our own decisions, help is available. The Universe is truly a synchronistic playground. We play, we fumble, we learn, we grow and we find our way. Just like children, we get help when we ask for it. Ask, and thou shall receive. That utterance by Jesus is literally true. What kind of help will we seek today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I ask for the help I need.

Sight or Vision?

Leave a comment

Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart. – Proverbs

seek the higher

There’s the higher and the lower. Sight is from the body (lower) and vision is of the Soul (higher). There’s spirit (higher) and that which flows from it, matter (lower). Directions (lower) are how we get to a destination, and purpose (higher) is why we want to get some where.

vision

What’s your vision for your life? We tend to spend more of our time on daily activities. We have little time or inclination to raise our sights and look beyond what we need to ‘do’ for the short term. Sight is seeing what needs to be done in the immediate future, vision is knowing where life itself, is headed. Sight is more doing, vision is more being. To see we can keep moving, to have vision we must be still.

Daily Affirmation: Today I look beyond what I see.

You Matter

Leave a comment

Size matters not. – Master Yoda

yoda a role model is

Yoda the Jedi Master in the Star Wars series of movies is a diminutive fellow who understands and channels the good side of the ‘force’. In the movie he’s a prime example of the fact that size does not matter! Neither does wealth, influence or stature, in an ultimate sense.

what matters

You do.

As do others.

Eternally…

Ponder that…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM focused on people and relationships.

Fear Not

Leave a comment

My God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me, I cannot know for certain where it will end … but I will not fear, for you are ever with me. – Thomas Merton

the road ahead

How often do we fret about what can go wrong? How often do we fear the future? Let’s become aware of when we do this. Awareness casts the limelight on this tendency, it allows us to reflect on the eternal now and on our constant companion.

our constant companion

Truly, God is with us, at all times and in innumerable ways. When we accept this Universe fact in faith, it becomes real, it becomes more palpable. The fear flees, we’re at peace. We know it when we experience it. The experience is not forthcoming if we don’t invite it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I walk with God.

Becoming Truth

Leave a comment

Words do not become true because you affirm them… You affirm them because they are true. You are synchronizing your consciousness with the reality of Truth.  – Eric Butterworth

words become…

A concept originates in our minds, we give it expression through words and eventually as actions or deeds. The way to supercharge this cycle of events is to start with ‘True’ concepts. Here’s an example, ‘I’m a child of God’. Accepting it as Truth, affirming it and then trying to live it makes it real in our lives…

discovering truth

Accepting and affirming reality strengthens our own hold on that reality. In other words we discover truth by accepting a concept or a hypothesis as fact, first. We do so by faith and as we do that, if it is indeed true, it shows up in our lives. This is contrary to what we’ve been taught. Try it to know its power!

Daily Affirmation: Today I realize the power of my affirmations!

Real Wealth

Leave a comment

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.  – Oscar Wilde

transient stuff

Stuff doesn’t last. Which means its value is worth questioning. Which also begs the question: What does last?

real value

Does our awareness, our identity, our personality, last? That’s left to what we believe, one might say. It’s my experience that with belief, faith, comes the slow realization that we’re part of something infinitely larger, a loving presence. This presence deepens with the practice of Stillness. Such an experience constitutes personal proof that we last, forever. If we last then so do others. Relationships then are of paramount and lasting value.

Daily Affirmation: Today I value people.

A Lion You Be

Leave a comment

He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the world’s meshes, as a lion from its cage. – Vivekananda

see yourself, how?

Our self-view is a key determinant of what we get out of our life experiences. How do you view yourself? What technique do you use to step back to ascertain your self-view?

a lion

Truly we are lions. We are lions because of our heritage. We come from the infinite. Ponder that.

We are also lions because of our destiny. We grow, slowly, into and towards the source of all that is. Feel the power, be bold!

Daily Recommendation: Today I AM a lion!
