How To Be Free!

Leave a comment

We first make our habits, then our habits make us.  – John Dryden

chained by habits

Habits are unconscious imperatives that run our lives. We live very habitually. Even the way we think is run by habits. Long held beliefs and assumptions are habits of the mind. We are not free.

freedom

Freedom comes from fresh thinking and living. Living that’s not hobbled by dead habits. Fresh living is when we live in the moment and perceive what’s actually going on. Our memory bank no longer runs our lives. We can then be free!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM perceiving things as they are.

hiding?

Why do we hide what we are? Why do we find it so hard to be vulnerable with others? What are we trying to hide even from God?

humanity

To discover truth we must become more real. Let’s stop the constant effort to be who we’re not. And embrace our humanity to become free!

What Is God’s Will?

Leave a comment

The will of God is the way of God, partnership with the choice of God in the face of any potential alternative.  – The Urantia Papers (130:2.7)

god’s will?

What is God’s will? Believers often struggle with this question. Without a palpable connection with the center, how will we know? Which path on the fork should we take?

god’s will

The higher moral choice, the choice which provides for the highest good to the largest number of people, the way of love, is God’s will. In other words ‘what would God/Jesus/Buddha do’ in any situation?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM flowing with God’s will!

How To Reach Personal Bliss!

Leave a comment

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then … make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.  – Deepak Chopra

up to us

Our happiness, fulfillment and destiny are truly in our own hands. If there’s one essential lesson we must learn during this lifetime, it is this. We must look within for all answers and resolutions… we may blame others at the peril of our own well-being.

equanimity

If we watch our thoughts we’ll notice our constant need to control others, get approval for what we do and how we look and a penchant to decide who or what is good and bad. Equanimity of thought is key to equanimity of mind!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM just an observer…

Why Fairy Tales Matter

Leave a comment

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.  – Albert Einstein

imagination

Fairy tales are mostly made up of two ingredients. Einstein was big on imagination. In most respects, what we imagine comes true. Our thoughts are powerful because we are creators.

true stories

Truth always triumphs. Fairy tales are an amazing way to illustrate living truth. Kids learn how to play with imagination and experiment with truth while learning how to tell stories…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM imagining a fairy tale life!

What’s The ‘Correct’ View?

Leave a comment

The distance separating our eyes means that there is a difference between the view each produces – thus there is no single “correct” view.  – Seen in Microsoft’s Research Building…

perspectives…

Each eye sees a different perspective and yet the brain brings it all together. Each human and group sees things differently. What is the value of these diverse perspectives? Who or what brings them together?

impact

How should our daily life be affected once we realize there is no ‘correct’ view? And that there are innumerable views?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM ‘viewing’ life differently!

Why We Must Loosen Up…

Leave a comment

Sit loosely in the saddle of life.  – Robert Louis Stevenson

easy

If we grasp too tightly we’ll get tired, be stressed and miss out on what else is going on. We must let go and start to flow. The journey is the end.

children

Let’s be like children. We play and then we rest. Life happens and we still get to grow and have a blast! What else is there?
