Why Goodness Wins…

As you view the world, remember that the black patches of evil which you see, are shown against a white background of ultimate good.  – The Urantia Papers

evil

Often we focus only on negativities. The press certainly does. We too perk up when we hear bad news from around the world. Why is that? One explanation, of course, is that we feel better when we discover our own circumstances to be better than others’. Another reason is that we feel that world-wide turmoil might lead to the better tomorrow we all want.

goodness

And that’s exactly what will happen and is happening. Let’s know and expect that goodness triumphs, that God’s plan will play out, that evil can’t last and that a brotherhood of mankind is now beginning to dawn! Celebrate!!

How Have We Held Back?

Only what you have not extended to any situation can be lacking.  – A Course In Miracles

view of life

What is our outlook in life? Do we expect things to work out? Do we expect resources to become available? Or do we expect trouble and expect things to sour, even if we do so sub-consciously? It’s what we expect and how we look at life events that determines our experience of such events. It’s how we view our own self that further colors our experiences.

look again

Whenever we find something missing in our life, a relationship or an event, we must look again. We must notice how we’ve held back in participating fully in that relationship or situation. We must notice how we show up. If we seek someone’s love, have we loved fully? Do we love ourselves? If we expect better friendships, how friendly have we been? How friendly are we to us? If we seek abundance, do all our thoughts and actions reflect abundance? Are we generous with our own selves?

Why Light a Candle?

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.Proverb

negativity

The problem with complaining and negativity is simple. It forces us to spend time at the level of the problem, at a lower frequency and often leaves us feeling sorry for our selves. Let’s seek the light instead, heck let’s create some!

create light

How can we create light in any given situation? Lets become aware of what we’re thinking about the situation. If our analysis is turning negative, we should note how the thinking is affecting us in the moment. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t analyze and critique when necessary. Lets ensure that the thought spiral isn’t taking us down with it. Instead we can bring ‘light’ to the situation or person by reminding ourselves that thoughts matter. We control the vibrations we dwell in… Let’s step back and view (shine a light) from a ‘higher’ vantage point.

Daily Affirmation: Today I bring light to each person and situation.

A Law Of Life…

… all of us must see that negative feelings toward another person is like tossing dust at him while the wind blows against us. It all comes back…it is a basic and inescapable Law of Life.Vernon Howard

it all comes back

As discussed yesterday the frequencies that we generate boomerang right back to us. We are the authors of our feelings, our thoughts and our opinions; all of these generate energies that persist. Once we recognize this law we realize that our overall well-being, emotional and physical, is often a product of our thoughts.

designing life

How can we remember to design our thoughts? Through practice and with plenty of reminders. Reminder bands, Post-It notes, calendar reminders, jewelry and other props can work wonders!

In Our Favor!

Whenever something doesn’t work out the way you thought it would, instead of thinking that something went wrong, see it as something that went unexpectedly well, but for reasons that are not yet apparent. Everything plays to your favor.The Universe

expect goodness

I subscribe to the notion that a creator created this stupendous universe. S/he also designed it, to a large extent, to create creatures who could grow and know the creator. Under this theory, we’re all children of the Universe. We are safe, we’re guided and only good can prevail ultimately. No ifs, ands or buts….

it all works out

In other words the entire creation conspires to make individuals succeed based on larger design goals. Part of our ‘purpose’ is to create new things, new ideas, new ways to cooperate, serve others and generally add value to the whole enterprise. When we do that, we simply cannot fail!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM confident that it all works out!

Peace Beyond Understanding!

The peace of Jesus is, then, the peace and assurance of a son who fully believes that his career for time and eternity is safely and wholly in the care and keeping of an all-wise, all-loving, and all-powerful spirit Father.The Urantia Papers

the real secret

The real secret to life is to attain ‘the peace that passeth all understanding’. Such a peace cannot be found by chasing our desires. It cannot be found through meditation alone. It certainly cannot be found in other earthly pursuits. But such a peace is possible amidst all that we do undertake, all that we do experience, and in all that we are. It’s a state of mind.

peace at last

As humans what we really seek is true safety, love and peace. If we’re at peace, all is well in our life. It means we’re happy with our circumstances, our relationships, and we’re not clamoring and suffering for anything. Such a peaceful state is within our grasp. It comes not from achieving such a state first but from having faith in a benevolent creator (or order) first. We must believe that such a force has full control over its creation and that there’s an intelligence and wisdom that proceeds from it that cossets us in love and understanding. We’re ultimately safe, nothing or no one can harm us and we are loved more than we can know. Believe and rejoice!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM safe, I AM loved and I AM peaceful.

You Are Guided!

The seraphim guard you; they do not seek directly to influence you; you must chart your own course, but these angels then act to make the best possible use of the course you have chosen.The Urantia Papers

angelic protection

Angels exist! According to the Urantia Papers (and many other religious texts) pairs of angels, sometimes groups of angels hover around us, constantly. Their chief aim is to bolster our spiritual growth and depending on spiritual factors they will sometimes affect our physical safety as well. Do you believe in angels?

we choose

If we acknowledge their presence and actively engage with them through our thoughts and actions then their influence on our lives is more apparent. A large part of the spiritual economy centers on mortals like us. Universal Intelligence desires that we make wholesome spiritual choices, ones that’ll be for everyone’s highest good.  We define our future based on how we choose and the kind of questions we ask. What will you choose today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek guidance from my angelic partners.
