We repeat what we don’t repair

We repeat what we don’t repair.

So true. In this cosmic classroom called life, there are recurring themes, recurring challenges and recurring relationships.

This is all a part of your evolution and an opportunity for you to choose once again and approach the moment with a higher purpose.

When you do, when you come from a place of love instead of fear, the moment and the world opens up. The universe showers you with blessings because you are doing what you came here to do: to grow, to understand and to become a better version of yourself.

You become a vehicle of love and light. It flows through you and you share it. And moment by moment, person by person, your world becomes a better place. Therefore this world becomes a better place. Enjoy the ride. May you graduate with honors and joy from life school.

(I came across this quote online today. Then I googled to learn it is widely attributed to a counslor named Christine Langley-Obaugh)

 

Forgiveness is a Superpower

by Leave a Comment

Forgive Yourself

For some reason we are hard wired for self loathing. It is an odd aspect of the human condition.

The critic inside your head is quick to beat you up.

You must let this go.

You must override this.

Take conscious control of your thoughts.

You are the master of your mind when you choose to be. And you must make this choice.

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful forces in the Universe. It is important not only to forgive others, but to forgive yourself. Frequently, when thinking of forgiveness we neglect to forgive ourselves.

Forgiveness is a spiritual technology. Forgiveness is a super power. Forgiveness is highly transformative.

Forgiveness pulls you out of ego and toward love and humility.

Remember this key concept from A Course In Miracles: “You can either have a grievance or a miracle. You cannot have both.” Forgiveness is a big part of this equation. This applies to you personally when you choose to forgive yourself.

Release the grievances you have against yourself and open up a space for positive transformation. This is how your personal miracles occur.

The Lunatic Inside Your Head

by Leave a Comment

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your World

There is a lunatic living inside your head. This lunatic is feeding your mind with fear based thoughts that are distorting your clearest, highest and most accurate perception of the world.
In Zen they call this Monkey Mind. In A Course in Miracles and psychology they call this Ego. The author Steven Pressfield calls this Resistance.
Ego is not your friend.
But you need not be victimized by the fearful, negative, angry thoughts of this lunatic. You can get clear. You can center yourself. You can ease your mind and transcend the lunatic.
The calm you seek is inside of you and as close as your next breath. Meditation can take you there, Music can take you there, Nature can take you there, your Beloved can take you there.
Go there. And go back there as often as you possibly can.
The choice of Love over Fear is yours and it’s the most important choice you will make every day of your life.

 

The Summer of Our Discontent

American Summer 2016

American Summer 2016

How do we make sense of the senseless?

Beheadings and car bombs on the other side of the world.

Civilian “soft targets,” from Paris to Brussels to Istanbul, suicide bombed by “martyrs” in the name of their God.

A slaughter in an Orlando nightclub.

Over 2,000 gun deaths in Chicago this year.

Cell phone video of highly questionable shootings of African Americans.

And now, the ambush and assassination of Dallas Police officers during an otherwise peaceful protest.

Ironically, this most recent national tragedy occurred very close to Dealey Plaza, the site of America’s most notorious assassination.

How do we make sense of the senseless? 

We cannot.

But there are things we can do.

We can affect our own individual spheres of influence. 

Our family, friends, neighbors and communities.

It starts small.  It starts organically.  It starts with you.  And it grows.

We can choose reason over insanity.

We can choose light over darkness.

We can choose love over fear.

We can increase the peace. 

In our communities, in our state, in our nation, in our world.

The good people in this world vastly outnumber the misguided, vicious ones.

I am convinced that in the end, love wins.

We just need to consciously, actively intend the light and the love a little more.

 

Life Is Not Ordinary

In Marfa, Looking For The Lights

 

Life is not ordinary

Yet we often believe it is

Life is not fair

Yet we often believe it is

Life is not long

Yet we often believe it is

 

Why are we prone to illusion?

Why are we wired for fear?

 

When love will set us free

Love More, Fear Less

Love More, Fear Less

 

Love More.

Fear Less.

Laugh Often.

Breathe Consciously.

Forgive Everyone. 

 

(that is all)

Prayers For Charleston

Prayers For Charleston

I cannot begin to fathom the sickness and hatred that drives a human being to kill other innocent human beings, much less for the absurd “difference” of skin color or ethnicity.

We live in a world of so many beautiful blessings. How and why can this happen?  I don’t have the answers.

What I do know is that there are two powerful forces in the world: Love and Fear.

Love is the truth.

Fear is the illusion.

And once again we have a choice.

To choose Love and spread Love.

Or to choose Fear and spread Fear.

I vividly remember the night Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.  I was seven years old.  I sat in front of the television late into the night of April 4, 1968 and watched the replays of his speech from the night before, where he said he’d been to the mountaintop and seen the beauty of all God’s children living in peace, while adding that he might not make it there with us.

I’m stunned that in the 21st Century such unevolved fear, hatred and ignorance still exists.

All I know to do is to continue to choose Love over Fear.

And to continue to shine a light on the darkness of hatred, racism and ignorance.

God Bless those who were killed in Charleston last night.  And may comfort and peace ease the horror and pain of their families and friends.
