Why Perspective Matters…

You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective:  all human beings are of equal importance in God’s sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan. – The Peace Pilgrim

perspective

If we really think about it, all we have is our own perspective of things. We can only ever know our own mind, we can only ever be conscious of our self alone. We cannot totally put ourselves into anyone else’s shoes, and therefore we can never truly know their perspective.

now what?

If that’s true then how can we ever know Truth? We have a shot at it if we pursue God’s mind. God is the ultimate distributor and purveyor. He forever distributes himself and the bounties of the Universe. Upon asking we can start to receive this gift of knowing God’s mind, life then starts to make a lot more sense!

How To Upgrade Our Soul!

I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. – Booker T. Washington

defiling self

We defile ourselves when we think thoughts at lower vibratory levels. Such thoughts consist of jealousy, hatred, worry, dislike, lack and self-degradation. Our minds and bodies, literally, start vibrating at lower frequencies when we allow ourselves to think this way. We then attract more mental anguish, turmoil and ill-health. It’s law, it must happen that way.

upgrading the soul

The opposite is true of course. We can raise our vibratory levels by thinking lovely thoughts, by living in love, by appreciating beauty and art, by listening to uplifting music and by having a positive life expectation.

How will we impact our soul today, right now?

Where Do You Fit?

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. – Deepak Chopra

which piece?

We’re far more precious than we can imagine. And that’s because the very source of it all thought us up! We’re invaluable creations of this wellspring of Love that resides within each of us! Through love we can go in partnership with Him, to discover and live the part we play in this magnificent drama of eternal proportions…

many spots…

While there are no extra pieces in the puzzle, the puzzle itself is infinitely large and so there are more spots than pieces! Which means that we could fill more roles, be more things, do more than we can imagine and be extremely fulfilled while doing it! The universe is our playground, let’s banish all fear and burst forth in love to co-create with the Creator!

What Would God Do?

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form. – Buddha

origin

Our actions originate from mind. Creation springs from God’s mind. Even though ours is a subset of God’s mind, it still has some of its qualities. We are mini creators unleashed into the universe. It’s up to us what we do with this God given gift, this amazingly creative facility!

wwjd?

A pure mind is one that is peaceful and one which thinks of the greater benefit rather than the selfish one. God’s mind is like that too. The trick is to mimic God’s mind in any situation, which is why one might ask a question like: ‘What Would Jesus Do?’. What would God do if She was me? Such an approach leads to happiness.

The Power Of Thought…

2 Comments

… the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. – Daisaku Ikeda

thought

As software is to computers, thoughts are to life. That much isn’t rocket science but it’s an important and pervasive principle. It’s a principle that we neglect and often overlook. I love what Mike Dooley and others have said about thoughts: THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS, lets choose them wisely! Let’s be the architects of our lives!

belief

Let’s become more aware of our central guidance system, which is our belief system. How do we approach life and situations?

Do we expect to…

  • Triumph over problems?
  • Always have enough?
  • Be healthy?
  • Have great relationships?
  • Live forever?

Quotes - 2011

Why It’s Possible…

What I most want you to dream of, are possibilities that thrill you.

What I most want you to feel, is happy.

And what I most want you to know, is that you’re loved.

Always and forever… – The Universe

possibilities

According to some, God and the Universe are exploding the full potential and possibilities inherent in the individual nodules of creativity that are us! The realms of time and space are teaming with life, and in wonderment of all that is possible. When we dwell in a state of possibilities, we’re likely living to our full potential. And then all is well and functioning just as it should!

happiness and love

If we’re not happy, why is that? If we can’t experience love then no wonder we’re not happy. If we’re fearful of life and the future then what’s the meaning of this all? If we but realize that we are the very children of the Infinite One, then what can we even worry about? We are princes and princesses who live like paupers not realizing that our divine inheritance surrounds us. Let’s wake up to this liberating realization!

What Should We Look For?

If you just look for what’s right – in others, in relationships, in yourself and your journey – you’ll always find it. Same when looking for what’s wrong. – The Universe

what’s right!

If we always look for what’s good, what’s right and what can work then I would call us optimists not polyannas! Yes it’s quite possible that we will be unrealistic occasionally but at least we can be happier overall? And with such a positive outlook we can more easily overlook all that’s wrong, can go wrong and is wrong with people, relationships and events!

else

The alternative is pretty sad. If we look for what’s wrong we’ll be worriers, we’ll be jealous, we’ll be sad … in other words we’ll suffer! Now why would we choose that??
