In the consciousness of one who is immersed in the divine love of God, there is no deception, no narrowness of caste or creed, no boundaries of any kind. When you experience that divine love, you will see no difference between flower and beast, between one human being and another. You will commune with all nature, and you will love equally all humankind. Beholding but one race – the children of God, your brothers and sisters in God.Audio Archives

I have often said that if Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, and other true emissaries of God came together, they would not quarrel, but would dring from the same one cup of God–communion.

And never have you dreamed a dream, that destiny had not ordained.

You have everything you need to reach within yourself and access a personal and very direct connection to God. Through that connection, you will grow in perpetual peace and unconditional love for everyone and everything. Through that connection, you will be guided by a power within you greater than you have ever imagined yourself to be.you will know every word to speak and every action to take. You will not know doubt or fear. You will not lack confidence. You will not lack anything. You will finally, once and forever know beyond any doubt that you are a brilliant and beautiful creation of Spirit. Unity’s message to the world.Audio Archives

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.Audio Archives

So many people work so hard, to achieve, attain, accumulate and cherish their fortunes. How many of us blissfully fill our days and nights being the Divine expression we are? This is the meaning of life. It is to be. As a result, all of your creations are a natural outflow from the Divine within your being. This is the joy of life.Audio Archives

If we take time daily to experience physical stillness and to direct our attention inside, we can begin to find the peace, love, will and wisdom that exist as our essence.
Only when one is connected to one’s own core is one connected to others… And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be found through solitude.

… that all the problems you face today are going to go away, unless you worry them to stay.
Problems like worry. Worry is a magnet for them. If you just “let it be,” the current worrisome condition will not even be part of your life a short time from now.
If you worry enough about it, however, you can be sure that it will stick around. So, just do your best around all this… then turn it over to God. Yes?
Love, Your Friend…

Awareness is our true self; it’s what we are. So we don’t have to try to develop awareness; we simply need to notice how we block awareness with out thoughts, our fantasies, our opinions, and our judgments. We’re either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we’re doing something else.Audio Archives

…that the future is brighter than ever. Not just humanity’s future, but your own, personally.
Things have shifted. The energy has been altered. You can feel it if you deeply tune in. This shift is not your imagination, nor is it merely on a national or global level. There is shift in you.
Feel it today, and use it to propel you to a wonderful tomorrow. In fact, do better than feel the energy. BE the energy. Be its Source. Then watch the conditions of your own life change.

From Conversation with God by
Neale Donald Walsch
Do you think that if someone finally realized that their thoughts became the things and events of their life; began believing that they were truly unlimited; and started to grasp that divine intervention could be freely summoned by anyone to help make their dreams come true, they’d continue doing the same old things, living the same old life, and waiting for the same old miracles?Audio Archives
Or, would they begin thinking things they’ve never thought before, saying things they’ve never said before, and doing things they’ve never done before?
Precisely.

Kahlil Gibran
Whatever you focus on, you will experience.Audio Archives
When you talk about “what is” or “what was,” even if you’re just explaining to a friendly ear, you project more of the same into the future. If you ask more than you give thanks, you’ll believe less in your power. And if you insist that it’s hard and that you’re lonely, you’ll find that it is, and you are.
Yet, always you can choose to focus on what’s good.

What if…Audio Archives
there are no “right” and “wrong” choices?
– That with each choice comes the opportunity to learn and grow,
– that all of the choices you have ever made were perfect,
based on your awareness at that time and,
– if you are unhappy, perhaps you could choose again.
If you notice that you defend your right to be unhappy in any area of your life, ask yourself; is being unhappy important to you?

Do not focus on what is missing but on what is always there and cannot be taken away. Do not focus on what is wrong or bad, but on what is right and good.
Because you do not look for weaknesses, you will help people find strength. Because you do not look for wounds, you will help people find their gratitude.

…that if you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.
Robert Collier said that, and he was right. Every spiritual book in contemporary times sends us the same message. Live the reality you wish to experience, beginning now.
Not only see yourself as prosperous, act this idea out. You can do it in small ways. The Universe doesn't care. It’s the energy behind the gesture that counts, not the size of the gesture.
So go ahead.
Give some money away today.
Buy something special today.
Act prosperous today
The Universe will get the message when you do.

Marianne Williamson
As we all know by now, the Earth has shifted once again. Just the slightest change from deep beneath the waters, a crack in the fabric of her lining, and islands quake while tsunami waves rush across shorelines. We awake believing the world – our world – is stable, only to learn again and again that this Earth is as much a living, breathing, moving, active instrument of life as we are. It is the grandest live organism we shall ever encounter, this wondrous Being that sustains us each second of our life. Weeks ago, a cyclone of unprecedented size hit Australia and an earthquake shortly afterwards moved the ground beneath Christchurch, New Zealand. Buildings fell like toys, leaving much of the town in pieces.Audio Archives
We are now living at a time when all cycles and systems of life are out of balance, including our system of perception itself. We do not “perceive” life clearly at all and thus, we as a society make choices that are based on endless illusions. And illusions lead to disasters. There was a time not so long ago, for example, when human beings walked more humbly on the Earth and under the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. Before the “Age of Reason,” a person walked into a forest filled with the awareness that the forest was as aware of him as he was of it. He shared the ground with the forest and all the creatures who lived there. They were not his for the taking, for the slaughtering, for dominating. In times gone by, people lived in a type of consciousness in which even the slightest movement of the wind meant something – perhaps heaven was piercing the veil between dimensions, speaking in a soft breeze, moving a branch or a leaf in order to communicate a message, or a warning, or signal its approval. The stars that filled the sky at night were not just pretty, shining objects, but proof of a celestial homeland, the blanket of the Divine covering humanity. Every living creature had purpose and meaning, a place in which it was given a natural dignity because it was created by a God no one doubted existed.
Having said all this, let me turn to the loss of human life. While earth shifts are essential for the Earth to survive, they are tragic for us. They result in enormous loss of human life and we must all hold in prayer the souls and the families of the people of Japan. The fear, pain, and grief of the thousands of people is unimaginable. We learn from this tragedy once again that the life we awaken to each morning may well be completely different by the end of the day. We kid ourselves by telling ourselves that we are in charge of the length of our lifetime. We are not. We must treat each day as a gift as well as every person dear to us. We learn from this event in Japan that we can be with the Japanese community of people through prayer, through email, through FB in an instant. We are truly learning an enormous cosmic truth: We are one. And we are meant to use that truth: Pray together, heal our fellow human beings together, and heal our beloved Earth together. Put your soul to work.

Have you ever wondered why most people have less trouble with walking and not falling down, talking and making perfect sense, and breathing without stop, than they do with dieting, finding love, or getting rich?Audio Archives
Of course not, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
It’s because with walking, talking, and breathing (which, incidentally, are infinitely more complex than the latter), they engage the magic with intent and expectation, twitch a few general muscles to get things started, and then, with faith, they turn the rest over to me.
In the second group, they try to do it all themselves.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.Audio Archives
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what the other people think or say or do. it is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company … a church … a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that pople will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you … We are in charge of our Attitudes.

I Worship God EverywhereAudio Archives
I bow to the one infinite Father, differently manifesting in the many churches and temples that have all been erected in His honor. I worship the one God resting on the various alters of different teachings and religious faiths.
Today I will worship God in deep silence and wait to hear His answer through my increasing peace of meditation.
I will mingle my inner devotional whispers with the prayers of all saints, and continuously off them in the temples of silence and activity until I can hear His whispers loudly, everywhere.
This day shall be the best day of my life. Today I will start with a new determination to dedicate my devotion forever at the feet of Omnipresence.

How much joy are you experiencing in this moment? How much joy are you bringing to this moment? The joy you experience will be the joy you bring. If you are waiting for joy to be brought to you, you do not understand what your are doing here. And if you thing that joy has anything to do with money, you really do not understand what your are doing here.
There is a person waiting right now, right this very minute, for you to uplift them. Do that…and you will be rich.

The silence is a kind of stillness, a place of retreat into which we may enter and having entered, may know the Truth. We go into the silence by observing the instruction, “Be still and know”. The only way to really know is to become perfectly still, to get away from the outer and from looking for things, into the inner quiet where we are alone with wisdom. In the silence, wisdom is given for every need. The silence is like the sun: it is always shining. It brings forth the best in us.Audio Archives

Here I am, Father, use me as an instrument of Your love… an agency of Your peace. I am in the flow of life, and I relate easily and lovingly, patiently and understandingly with all persons. I know that no matter what any person is or does, what I am and what I do may mean that I will let him or her go and get along without the person. But in every case, I know that my responsibility is simply to keep in the flow, to keep seeing with eyes of love, to be willing to receive and to be responsive to the all–sufficient flow of life, love and wisdom. I go forth in the joyous certainty that whatever person or situation may come to me in this day, it will be good, for I will be in the flow of good. And if I should have even a fleeting moment of concern, I will simply let go… and let flow.Audio Archives

When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible.Audio Archives

All major mystical traditions have recognized that there is a paradox at the heart of the journey of Return to Origin. …Put simply, this is that we are already what we seek, and that what we are looking for on the Path with such an intensity of striving and passion and discipline is already within and around us at all moments. The journey and all its different ordeals are all emanations of the One Spirit that is manifesting everything in all dimensions; every rung of the ladder we climb toward final awareness is made of the divine stuff of awareness itself; Divine Consciousness is at once creating and manifesting all things and acting in and as all things in various states of self–disguise throughout all the different levels and dimensions of the universe.Audio Archives
Andrew Harvey
When mystics use the word Love, they use it very carefully –– in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of Love.Audio Archives

No one outside of you can tell you what anything means, or whether you are “hurt” or not. If you feel hurt by something or someone, it is the result of your decision to feel that way. This may be tough to hear, but it is true. You can change your mind at any moment about how something is affecting you.
Love, Your Friend…

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.Audio Archives

Some people have trouble with all those shall’s and shall not’s in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the King James into Jackson County language. No joke, these are posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.
