How To Improve Character…

 

inherited urges

We are animals who are becoming children of God. We battle animalistic urges daily. Whether it has to do with an appetite, anger or jealousy, we must assert control!

moral character

The way we react to life and events is akin to using the chisel on a sculpture. That sculpture, a masterpiece, is us. That’s how we artistically design our lives. Are we willing to take on that responsibility?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a designer of my moral nature!

Feeling Our Way To Mastery…

You can always change how you feel, and you can always feel whatever you like.  – The Universe

feeling

Feelings define our current state of being. How are we feeling right now? Where does this feeling reside? Where does it reside in our mental and our physical body? How would we rather be?

take ownership

What faculty is it that’s evaluating this ‘feeling’? This very faculty is key to retaining authorship of our feelings and emotions. This faculty points to our center. From the vantage point of this ‘center’ we can claim ownership and mastery of our feelings. We can decide to focus on whatever we please. We can craft the thoughts that’ll serve us…

Why It’s Not Rocket Science…

Don’t let habit tell you what to do. Don’t let the past control your thinking. Accept the offer of newness in the now. Just accept.Vernon Howard

a story from Vernon

A good and thoughtful king offered a ride in his carriage to a weary traveler on the road. Having been treated badly by evil kings, the traveler hesitantly asked, ‘Sir, what must I give in return?’ The understanding king replied, ‘Just one thing. Your acceptance of the offer.’

life artists, ‘just accept’

We are artists that paint and craft our own lives. We design and control our reactions. Let’s banish our cynicism and be more trusting of others and of Life itself. Let’s accept the obvious and seize control over our own lives by becoming more aware and accepting…

Why Stir The Pot?

Just keep stirring the pot, you never know what will come up.Lee Atwater

life

Life is like that. It’s a huge cauldron and we are like the magicians who get to stir the contents and even become the stirred contents! Are we feeling the magic?

magic

Magic is happening all around us and within us. Are we paying attention?

Why Life Must Be Play!

…that without knowing who you are and why you are here, life has no meaning.Neale Donald Walsch

searching for meaning

Our current dissatisfaction with life, our recurring need to find that which we can’t name and our restless nature are all clues. They are clues to the fact that there’s more, that our current life isn’t enough and that we must peer deeper…

find the play!

We’re searching for meaning in our lives. Once we recognize that essential drive then things start to become clearer. Self-awareness will allow us to accept Life’s various clues, suggestions and enticements! Once we start playing the game that the Universe wants us to play then life becomes an exciting daily adventure! Come let’s play!

Why Not To Be Disappointed…

…disappointment is your thought that God doesn’t know what God is doing…Neale Donald Walsch

life

Life is what it is. What we think about it and how we react to it is up to us. To respond with wisdom takes understanding of who we are and where we fit in…

understanding

We live in a dark world. Dark because we don’t know much about our spiritual origins, we know not how all this fits and we generally don’t know where we’re headed. What’s the purpose of all that’s happening?

According to The Urantia Papers, we’re in the dark because Urantia, our planet, is under an information quarantine from the rest of the Universe! There’s a time coming, soon, when this veil will be lifted and we’ll know more about our place in this amazing universe!!

Why We Must See Beyond

All things are sacred in the lives of those who are spirit led.  – The Urantia Papers

real goal

What’s our true goal in life? Is it to keep our current job, get the next promotion, maintain a certain lifestyle, stay healthy or what? Shouldn’t our goal be more transcendent than just that? If so, what should it be?

spirit

All life, everything we experience, was authored at the spirit level. If all man made things were first conceived as mere thoughts, then shouldn’t it follow that all of life was conceived by a creator? If so, then shouldn’t we attempt to understand the very fiber of this creation, wouldn’t we want to reach the very creator?
