The Peace in Everyone's Heart

I am relaxed about today’s events because I am always in touch with the Infinite.

God’s good works for all are already on the table.

Solutions are already available and being implemented.

The tide is already turning for good and taking all of us with it.

------------

My day is suffused with harmony and purity.

My Higher Power is providing good for all of us everywhere today.

There is no personal disrupting influence that can spread itself all over.

A sense of divine peace is infusing the heart of everyone and placing them where they need to be today.

They are provided with everything they need, including a peaceful place to live.

The peace that is in everyone’s heart is providing peaceful negotiations for everyone in any conflict.

The peace that is in everyone’s heart is taking care of the needy.

The peace that is in everyone’s heart is settling once and for all that we are all equal and are recognized and provided for under the Law of Equality.

The peace that is in everyone’s heart is discerning the best solutions and implementing them.

The peace that is in everyone’s heart is agreeing on every detail.

There is a swift and harmonious solution in every case.

We are all so pleased and happy and satisfied.

A Planetary Change

As a planet, we are living through a long period of abuse.  

Of course, there are many fine and wonderful and beautiful things happening here as well.  

Through the teachings of many inspired writers and leaders, we are starting to learn that there is another way for all of us to live.  

This parallels the experiences of a large number of us individually.  

As this experience gains collective force, it will surely change our planetary direction even as it has changed the direction for so many of our individual lives.

Let’s continue to share the ideas which unite us and allow all of us to express our individual talents through social justice and protecting the environment.

There is room for healing in so many areas.

Let us use the tools at hand to rectify and forgive the excesses of selfishness and self-centeredness and greed and allow the generosity of the human spirit to uplift and bless all of us.

The Truth

The truth never disappears despite what we are being told.

The truth is still there.

It is up to each person to listen for the truth for him/herself.

Corporations which are funding campaigns to obscure the truth are persuasive for many people who depend on the media.

But we all have a feeling for what the truth is.

There is a truth of who we are.

We have many stories about our lives.

True stories.

But the truth lies even deeper than our memories and experiences.

The truth I am speaking about is a guide and a presence within.

Whenever you want to know the truth about something, that is where you go.

Whenever you want to hear opinions, go to the media.

Preparing for the Best

What if there was all this good going on and because we are so preoccupied with the news distractions, we couldn’t see it and prepare for it?

I realize the news also provides distractions from a lot of other really important stuff such as our rights being continually eroded.

But what I am dealing with here, is the opportunity to keep doing good things, to keep yourself engaged in work that is important to your own heart and soul and practical welfare.

What if we missed getting prepared to do this work by being distracted?

I recently had a distraction, and when I realized my new inspiration, I put the distraction away and got to work.

I got to work so fast and so powerfully, that I can only imagine what the long-term effects of being distracted would have cost me.

You know, I really don’t care about dire predictions, and crisis.

I care about staying on my course.

I can’t keep jumping at the newest revelations of corruption.

But what I can do, is keep pouring out materials which inspire people to engage their hearts and be authentic and keep working for all those little things that continually and persistently uplift society.

I can keep preparing for the best.

They say, you get what you prepare for.

I can do that.

A Tradition of Appreciation

Our culture is very harsh and only rewards certain criteria.

Also, those kinds of rewards come from the outside.

When I have the opportunity to share my appreciation of someone else, it gives both of us a lift.

I especially like to let parents of my students know that they are doing a good job raising their kids because they are.

People recognize what is good and wonderful about themselves.

We all need to hear those things.

The traditional things that we have been harassed into believing are good, turn out not to be.

The really old traditional things like family and honesty and fulfilling work do turn out to be true.

I am glad I can give weight and time to expressing appreciation for the things that are real and good.

Even though it is in the face of finely tuned expensive advertising, sincerity does have a different feel to it.

People, being real, respond differently to honest communication, rather than constant sales pitches.

Giving authentic appreciation helps people tune into who they really are.

Its like a deep breath of fresh air.

Nothing is required of them except being themselves, their true selves.

What Is Our New Shared Vision?

Are we still going to accept the shared vision that got us to this point?

Or are we going to actively design the vision we want to see?

Our old shared vision had competition over finite resources.

Can we create new ways of using and recycling what’s left in a way that is compassionate and takes care of everyone?

Our old vision had better living conditions for people based on their ability to control tax dollars.

Can we create laws that are favorable to everyone?

Our old vision had better educational resources based on neighborhood tax dollars, as well.

Can we create a new vision that includes equality, liberty and fraternity for everyone and values our young people as the most important investment a country can make?

Ca we create an economic system based on cooperatives where people have a say in their employment and its policies?

Can we create an practice which values each person’s individuality and helps promote it?

If we can imagine it and write about it and converse about it, we can redesign it.

Let’s get to it.

No Withholding

Written on July 23, 2013

When we share, we receive more.

We give of our overflow.

Giving starts the cycle, by making room to receive.

In small ways, we hold doors open, we let someone in our lane of traffic.

That creates a small wave of consideration and appreciation.

Then we discover more ways to give.

The flow increases.

It changes us from isolation and withholding our talents and gifts to connecting us in ways that let us give of our increase and overflow.
