The purpose of life.
I have no memory of wondering about the purpose of life when I was a child or even a young adult. I do recall a strong desire to get it right so others would be happy so I just tried to be what I thought everyone else wanted me to be so they would be […]
Spiritual Experiences.
I have had a few deep and life altering spiritual experiences. Each of them required the crushing of my ego at the time. This release from the ego allowed me the opportunity to connect with the Divine Love and feel my worth. I created my ego as an answer to my belief that I was […]
Releasing the old.
I am reminded this morning of the importance of recognizing and releasing the old reactions to life. I have learned how a moral self-inventory will quickly bring out how and when I have returned to the old, unbalanced reactions to life. The most important part of a self-inventory is to remove any thoughts about the […]
Harmony.
I am reminded that people lack power when they are out of harmony with the Divine Source Energy and with other people. I hold the understanding that God is the all and the all are God. Therefore, if I am out of harmony with other beings, I am out of harmony with God. I have […]
All or nothing.
There can only be the expectation of all or nothing. There is no reality behind this concept. The all or nothing ideology brings tunnel vision which leads to frustration, annoyance, anger, and depression. As powerful creators we allow ourselves to be open to the idea of options, changes, alterations to our plans in order to […]
Releasing it all.
In my recovery I have learned the importance of releasing every secret I thought was so horrible that I could never allow anyone to know them. In the recovery community it is known as the 4th and 5th steps. It was a thorough moral inventory and a sharing of that inventory with a trusted person. […]
Reliance
I have times when I still believe I am self-reliant and I will plod along in my day feeling worn out, tired, fatigued and frustrated. It is then I am reminded that I need only my conscious awareness of God and allow myself the proper rest to allow the Divine Spirit to flow to me […]
Blessings.
It is in being aligned with the Divine Source that I am blessed. I can send all the blessing I want unto others, however, that is only me holding space for them to align with God and allow blessing to flow to them and through them. Many blessings arrived after I discovered humility. It was […]
As Spirit.
For most of my life I lived as a physical being. Eventually I had a spiritual experience and decided I am a physical being having spiritual experiences. Eventually I came to know that I am a spiritual being having a physical experience. As I choose to maintain conscious awareness of Spirit, I have become less […]
Changes
I am reminded this morning to have appreciation for the amazing changes in my reactions to life. I seem to have moved from a fearful, egotistical, melodramatic, rageful, and lustful being into a compassionate, empathetic, kind, peaceful, friendly, helpful, loving, and useful being. I have changed through an ongoing conscious awareness of the Divine Source […]
