Love
is such a Heavenly Gift.
God lets us
Love our Beautiful World
by sharing the Beauty
from His Loving Heart.
His Love
is all around.
.
His Love
is the answer to Life,
the reason for Life.
His Love
is Life.
Our Love for God
is a reflection
of His Love
for us.
“We Love,
because
He first Loved
us.”
– 1 John 4:19

My Dear Friends,
Life
can feel like the beginning
and the end,
all at once.
It can feel like everything
and nothing.
And in this moment
describe for us
the epitome of
Humanity.
As we reflect
upon the Joys
of the past,
we can Thank the Lord
so very much.
We
can give Thanks
for all the Beauty
and the warm emotions
that God provides
through His Bountiful
Blessings.

They are
Priceless.
.The Sacred Fire
in your Precious Spirit
cannot be destroyed,
if you but ask
God
for His Love.
. It is Living inside us
and He
will not let it go.
His Love
is Everlasting.
.
God’s Holy Scripture says
the Soul cannot be annihilated.
Though the body may die,
the Spirit will Live on.
Death,
My Friend,
is not the end of Life.
It is the separation of the body
and the Spirit.
The Spirit Lives on in another realm.
The body is the temporary residence
of God ‘s Precious Human
Children.
Will our essence be destroyed
or do we persist forever?

 While we are alive,
we have a physical body
and that body will eventually die,
decay and lose its form.

There are parts to ourselves
other than our physical body.
In the beginning
we existed in the Bosom of God,
as a point of Light or Intelligence.
The parts we add to ourselves
are not the real US,
but are vehicles we use
to explore and understand the Creations
of God.

The True you
is not the body, feelings or mind,
but that which has power of decision,
consciousness.
This part of ourselves cannot be destroyed
and persists forever.
It had no beginning
and will never have an end.

.After a long journey
into darkness,
penetrated by the shadow
of sin,
we can Live
again.
.
Our Father
in Heaven Above,
Listens
with an Open Heart.
His Love
is the most Beautiful discovery
in Life. 
It is so deep and meaningful
that we can not fully
comprehend It.
God’s Love
Knows No Bounds.
It is
the most celebrated matter
in the World.
It is
the most Beautiful Thing
we will ever
feel.

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being Greater
than our imagination.
Inner Peace
comes through Believing
the Truth
that surpasses our Human
ability to understand.
And Truth,
My Friend,
is found in the Holy Word
of God.
The Love of God
is Perfect and Harmonious.
His Sacred Words
are most comforting and healing.
.
Upon deep reflection,
His Love,
reflected in the Holy Bible,
will get amplified in our
minds,
and Live in our
Hearts.
His Love
is so powerful.
Such Love
not only encompasses the meaning
of Life and death,
but takes you through the Journey
of it. 

His Love
we can take with us,
when all else
has passed us by.
Life
can make us sad,
it can make us Happy.
But through the dance
of emotions,
we can come to feel
Gratitude and Gratefulness,
for the things that happen.

The Beautiful Wisdom
found in His Holy Word
will guide us to understand
the things we have learned,
and the things we have yet to learn
are opportunities
we have been gifted.
Even
the things we don’t enjoy,
the Heartbreak and loss,
and the overthinking, 
 can come to remind us
that we are Loved,
perhaps not felt in the moment,
but Loved by Someone,
Somewhere.
..
The Love of God
restores my Love for myself,
 with the most touching
knowledge,
that He Truly Loves
us.
Love
is the greatest pleasure
we take with us.
.
Goodnight.

This Is Scientific Proof

That Happiness Is A Choice

By 

Carolyn Gregoire

One theory in psychology research suggests that we all have a happiness “set-point” that largely determines our overall well-being. We oscillate around this set point, becoming happier when something positive happens or the opposite, afterwards returning to equilibrium.

But this set-point, to a certain extent, can be reset. Although our general mood levels and well-being are partially determined by factors like genetics and upbringing, roughly 40 percent of our Happiness is within our control, according to some experts, and a large body of research in the field of positive psychology has shown that happiness is a choice that anyone can make. As psychologist William James put it, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude.”

Here are eight ways you can take control of your own happiness.

Simply try.

A little effort can go a long way in increasing happiness. Two small experimental studies, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, found that simply trying to be happier could actually elevate mood and well-being. In one study, two groups of students listened to “happy” music – one group was instructed to make a concerted effort to feel happier, while the other group was instructed not to actively try to lift their mood. The group that tried to feel happy experienced the most elevated moods after listening to the music.

Make Happiness your number-one goal.

People who are happy choose to make happiness among their top goals in life, according to psychologist Tom G. Stevens, Ph.D., author of You Can Choose to Be Happy.

“Choose to take advantage of opportunities to learn how to be happy,” Stevens told WebMD. “For example, reprogram your beliefs and values. Learn good self-management skills, good interpersonal skills, and good career-related skills. Choose to be in environments and around people that increase your probability of happiness. The persons who become the happiest and grow the most are those who also make truth and their own personal growth primary values.”

Linger on those little, positive moments.

According to Rick Hanson, neuropsychologist and author of Hardwiring Happiness, our brains are wired to scout for all that’s bad – as he puts it, the brain is like velcro for negative experiences and teflon for positive ones. This “negativity bias” causes the brain to react intensely to bad news, compared to how it responds to good news. But we can counter the brain’s negativity bias – which triggers us to form stronger bad memories than good ones – by appreciating and lingering on those tiny, positive moments.

“People don’t recognize the hidden power of everyday experiences,” Hanson told The Huffington Post. “We’re surrounded by opportunities — 10 seconds here or 20 seconds there — to just register useful experiences and learn from them. People don’t do that when they could.”

Choose mindfulness.

The secret to happiness could be as simple (and difficult) as becoming more mindful. Meditation – a practice that anyone can do, anywhere, so long as they’re willing to sit and try to silence the mind – is thought to be a happiness-booster.

University of Wisconsin psychology professor Richard Davidson found in his research that a meditation practice might help to shift brain activity from the right frontal area of the brain (associated with depression, anxiety and worry) to the left, which has been found to correlate with feelings of happiness, excitement, joy and alertness.

Smile your way to happiness.

The secret to boosting your mood could be as simple as making yourself smile. A Michigan State University study found that workers who smiled as a result of cultivating positive thoughts exhibited improved mood and less withdrawal. Fake smiling, on the other hand, resulted in worse moods and withdrawal from work.

Practice gratitude.

Cultivating thankfulness and gratitude is a scientifically-backed way to increase happiness, and it’s firmly within your control to choose to be more grateful.

Grateful people tend to appreciate simple pleasures, defined as “those pleasures in life that are available to most people,” according to a report in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality.

Pursue happiness, find happiness — and success.

Conventional thinking has it that pursuing success will lead to happiness, but research has shown that it may be just the opposite. Pursuing Happiness leads not only to happiness itself, but also to success, according to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage.

In his 12 years researching happiness at Harvard, Achor found that cultivating a positive mindset could boost well-being and improve workers’ performance on many levels, from productivity to creativity and engagement.

“People who cultivate a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge,” he wrote in Harvard Business Review. “I call this the ‘happiness advantage’ — every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive.”

Let yourself be Happy.

Bronnie Ware, a palliative care nurse who spent years working with elderly people on their deathbeds, noticed a common theme that came up repeatedly among her patients at the end of their lives: They regretted not “letting” themselves be happy.

Ware, the author of The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying, wrote in a Huffington Post blog:

Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again … Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Practice compassion.

Want to increase your brain’s capacity for happiness? Try meditating on compassion. Brain-scanning studies on French monk Matthieu Ricard found that when he was practicing Loving-kindness meditation, his brain produced gamma waves “never reported before in the neuroscience literature.” Ricard has the largest capacity for happiness ever recorded, thanks to neuroplasticity.

“Meditation is not just blissing out under a mango tree but it completely changes your brain and therefore changes what you are,” Ricard told the New York Daily News.

The Purpose of this Short Life on Earth is The Truth of Love / 7 Paths to Lasting Happiness / School Calendar

Life
is a Miracle.
 Let us value the Miracle of Life
every precious Day.
 Let us care for each other,
and for our Sacred Mother,
Earth.
.
In this Time
of such turmoil and trouble,
let Life be about
Love.
There can be no greater Love
on our Sacred Earth
than the Love a Mother has
for her Children.
Such Love
is Miraculous.
Such Love is
Life.
Art
in Life,
is in how we did it.
Art in Living
is not captured on paper or sculptures.
Art
is simply how we Live.

“The fundamental nature of Reality could be radically different from our familiar World of objects moving around in space and interacting with each other. We shouldn’t fool ourselves into mistaking the World as we experience it for the World as it really is.”
– physicist Sean Carroll
Modern science
does not even understand
the nature of Reality.
We
do not know if we are dealing with
particles, waves or something else.
.
We do not even understand
consciousness.
We know
that we perceive something,
but we do not know
what it is.
H. Dieter Zeh and Wojciech Zurek identified the importance of a quantum system’s interaction with its external environment, a process called quantum decoherence. Some of a particle’s many possible realities rapidly evaporate as it encounters matter and radiation in its vicinity. Soon only one of the possible realities remains consistent with all the environmental interactions, explaining why, on the Human scale of time and size,
only one such reality is perceived.

Physicist David Deutsch believed that quantum computers would support the “many worlds” view  – that all possible realities exist, while Humans perceive just
one.
American physical chemist William D. Harkins proclaimed that the quantum theory
“is of much more practical importance”
than the theory of relativity.

Yes,
reality needs
reexamining.
.
But
behind the curtain of Reality,
we can discover
the greatest dimension
of Love.

My Dear Friends,
we can feel incredible Hope
soaring through of the Human Heart
towards Heaven,
as we listen to the extraordinary choir
of our emotions
Sing what the Heart
feels.

Take time to listen
 to the music
of kind words
and compassionate thoughts,
and you will discover
that God Loves
us all,
and Lives
in us.
Beautiful words
of Loving Compassion
can bring tears to your
eyes.

They
can become
the most profound and powerful
consideration of Humanity.

The Beauty of your Heart,
reflected in the Benevolence
of your expression,
can become so comforting
in a time like this,
when the whole World is threatened
by dark clouds of uncertainty
and death.

Lift
your eyes unto the Heavens
and Pray for all to be well.
God is Listening.

We have felt the Loving Hand
of God
as we sing the Sacred Song
of Life.
And Life becomes
well with the
Soul.

You
can elevate the Spirit
and lighten the
Heart.

You can create
your own Magic
in
Life.
Think of the Song
which is your Life,
as your own little World
of Beauty and Hope.
Let the World
simply glide around you.
Do not allow the dark shadows of the World
to bring you down.
Look only
for the Beauty and Wonder
in Life.

How wonderful it is
to discover the purpose of this short Life
on this Earth
is
The Truth
of Love. 

What we seek
will be found by everyone
genuinely and humbly seeking
the True Pathway
in this Life.

God
has a Place
in every Heart.
He Lives
in this moment,
this Song,
in this and every
Transcendental Experience.
Prayer
reaches deep into the Soul
and finds that place of expression
that cannot be matched.

There is a deep and abiding
Spirituality
at work in a way that touches
Hearts and Souls.

It reflects
the Euphoria
of Heaven.
It gives us Hope
for all Humanity.

 This Spirituality
resides within Heartfelt and Heartwarming
outpourings of affection.

 Let us
celebrate this Life
and come to appreciate
the Truth
that sorrow and sadness
can eventually be replaced
by the Happy memories
that Forgiveness
brings.

The silent Beauty
of such reflection
can touch the Heart
and send a Tranquility of Gratitude
throughout Time
and Space. 
Awareness
is food for our Souls.
It is
Poetry of our Time.
And
we have the talent
to magically turn this Poetry
into Music of the moment,
into the Song
of Life.
.
 We can
touch other Souls
like very few ever have. 

My Dear Friends,
your Flame of Love
is still burning.

Bring out the Beauty
in Life itself.
Your Love
can remind us all
of what it is to be
Human.

Give
your Love
to all,
and you
will be
Happy.

Goodnight.

Happiness is a Choice!

As Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim . . . of Human existence.” One of the greatest achievements we can attain in Life is leaving this World a better place than we found it. So, how can we make that a real accomplishment, and not just a Hope?

For one, we may need to re-think some of our attitudes about the sources of Happiness. Taking a fresh look at what we believe, can open up a world of possibilities.  Ultimately, Happiness boils down to small course corrections made daily.  They will help us to become happier people.

There are many people who are knowledgeable and highly educated, yet who are quite unhappy in their lives. They know intellectually the steps to happiness, but knowledge without application is really just education. We can learn all the things that contribute to true, lasting happiness, like gratitude, forgiveness, Love, and being of service, but if we don’t apply them in our life on a daily basis, not much will change.

The good news is, we have quite a bit of control over whether we are happy or not. Although much of our natural disposition for happiness is based upon our genetic makeup, and therefore varies from person to person, it is merely an inherited tendency, not our destiny. Our destiny is, and always will be, what we work toward, what we accomplish in our lives.

Happiness expert Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California-Riverside, compared the genetically determined happiness “set point” to our inherited tendency to stay thin or to put on weight. She wrote “All the set point means is that in the same way some people have to work on maintaining their weight, [a person] may have to work to achieve the same level of happiness as someone else. It may be harder, but it can be done.”  So if we’re not as happy as we’d like to be – we can actually do something about it. 

What Is Happiness, Anyway?

What does being happy feel like, and do we recognize happiness when we are experiencing it? Feeling happy can be defined as a sustainable sense of Spiritual contentment that arises from deep within. It is a condition of the Heart. It is not giddiness, silliness, or ecstasy. What many people don’t realize, though, is that Happiness is the result of many decisions made (whether consciously or unconsciously), to be Happy. 

There are many people who prefer to blame their unhappiness upon their circumstances, but if our Happiness were dependent upon our circumstances, then most people would rarely be Happy, because no one has a pain-free Life. We all experience many challenges, hardships, adversity, and disappointments. It’s a part of our human existence.

Dr. Viktor Frankl, the bestselling author of Man’s Search for Meaning and a renowned Austrian psychiatrist, survived the holocaust in Germany. While watching his fellow inmates in a Nazi concentration camp, he observed that all things could be taken from a man except the final freedom: the ability to choose how he will respond to any situation.  He wrote that “between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”  And I would add our Happiness.

Is Happiness Worth the Effort?

Is happiness truly worth the effort? Absolutely! There are many reasons why Life is more fulfilling when we’re Happy. Our Happiness, or lack thereof, influences our daily interactions and all of our relationships with others. If we’re Happy, we are much more likely to positively impact our spouse, our children, our neighbors, friends, our co-workers, and our community. The world is a better place when the Happiest version of each one of us is walking around.

Here are some additional reasons why the effort to become Happier is worth it:

1) Happiness is success:  Albert Schweitzer said that “Success is not the key to Happiness. 
Happiness is the key to success.”

2) Happiness is healthy: Our physical health is directly impacted by our emotional and mental state. Happier people tend to be healthier in every aspect of life.

3) Happiness is being connected: If I smile, make a polite gesture, or say something welcoming, the majority of people will respond in kind. 

4) Happiness is attractive: People are drawn to those who radiate Happiness, warmth, and positivity.

Our Happiness depends on the way we live our lives and how we view the world.  We each create the lens through which we view the world.

What About Stress and Happiness?

How often do you run into somebody, ask how they are, and hear the answer, 

“Oh, I’m all stressed out!” 

That has become so commonplace in our society, it’s almost synonymous with “good morning.” Imagine instead the following conversation:  

“How are you today?” 

“I’m doing great! I have zero stress in my Life!”

It sounds funny! In fact, many people wear their stress and busyness as if it were a badge of honor. Being over committed gives some people a false sense of value, almost like an unspoken “I’m busier than you, so I must be more important than you.” But that road can become filled with loneliness and regret farther down, as we realize that we’ve been spinning on our hamster wheel so long, that we’ve lost touch with the people and practices in our Lives that truly matter most. 

Sometimes we’re so busy, we even deprive ourselves of the most fundamental things: sleep and healthy food. Can you imagine having the following conversation with a child? 

“You need to stay on the computer until 2:00 a.m. to keep checking your email and read the news! 

“But Mom/Dad, I’m tired, I want to go to sleep!” 

“NO! Go back to the computer and check to see if you have any new emails!”  

Similarly, if a client is putting harmful substances in their body, I ask them if they would give it to their child, and the thought of doing so is shocking to them. But why is it so easy for us to say no to our kids (when it’s in their best interest), but not take care of ourselves? I believe it’s because we lack adequate self-parenting. Mismanagement of time and stress becomes a long-term neglect of our needs; it can make us physically sick or lead to emotional and mental breakdowns. 

Take Time Out to Contemplate:

So, how do we change our mindset from dealing with crises all the time to taking charge of our lives? We literally need to stop, ponder and meditate on the direction of our work, our relationships, and every other aspect of our lives. It’s a key ingredient to successfully managing our overall stress levels. I’ve had quite a few clients who are business executives that way too many hours. They don’t take time for themselves, and they become so overwhelmed, that their lifestyle is more reactive crisis management than crisis prevention. When doing executive coaching, I frequently have to ask,

“When was the last time you actually took a day or two off to contemplate, to think about the direction of your life? When did you last take time to do something others might think of as nonproductive, when you didn’t make appointments, go to meetings, close any deals, answer any phone calls, or return any emails? When, instead, you sat, pondered, and meditated about the direction of your life, the direction of your company, and/or the direction of your family?”

The typical push back is, “I can’t afford to take a day off!”

And my immediate response is, “You can’t afford NOT to take a day off!”

It is the same for the rest of us. To effectively manage our stress, we need to take time to ponder the direction our lives are taking. The result might be that you’ll make a necessary course correction. This may not only add quality (and quantity) years to your life, but it will also add balance and perspective. As a result, you’ll be a better spouse, employee, parent, friend and, ultimately, a better person. Your most vital relationships will receive the benefit of the best you, including your relationship with yourself.  

The difference between who you are and who you want to be, is what you do!  If happiness is what you seek, then reading, pondering, and applying, the 7 Paths to Lasting Happiness is a great way to begin!

The Little Things Are The Real Things / Creating a Life of Spiritual Optimism and Joy / School Calendar

Sometimes,
it is of benefit
to stop and reflect upon Life.
When
we think of the Blessings we have,
of those we have
Loved,
we are taken to a deep reflective place
that may bring tears
and touch our fragile Heart
and bring us Peace
of mind..
The melodies 
of our moments,
the lyrics of our Lives,
touch the Soul,
and entwine our experiences
with such Beautiful reflection.

Hope
springs forth afresh every day
on that plane of existence
that resides within our
Heart...
And that,
My Dear Friend,
is a rare and special
Gift.
Our cherished memories
let us experience the Happiness
that has etched Joy
into our Lives,
again.
.
And,
memories add an incredible
depth
of awareness
that is impossible to obtain
otherwise.

We can Truly appreciate
what it was that we were witnessing
in Life.

Your cherished memories
will always tug
at your Heart strings.
Invite them in.
Live in that moment,
again,
and again.
.
Now,
Live in this moment.
Pick up the telephone
and call.
Let those you have Loved
know,
you still Love them.
Tell them
that you remember
all the Happy Times.
.
Beautiful Memories
need not
lie buried the past.
They can Live
again.
Be a Child again.
Time can be Kind
or cruel.
The choice is
yours.
It has always been.

“Truly,
 I say to you,
unless you turn and become like Children,
you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this Child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
– Matthew 18:2-6

When you are feeling sad and empty,
replay
your Happy, carefree Childhood Memories
in your mind.
It is sad to think
you know those days are gone.
 But,
are they?
Or can you become like
a Child again?
Knowing you can replay them
in your mind,
and in your Heart,
makes you feel better.
But,
you can also PLAY them
again.
 Your cherished memories
can LIVE again.

 The essential Soul
of a precious moment
can be relived.
A new arrangement
can be profound,
INCREDIBLE.
You can be deeply touched
by Living in a moment
again.
The Song of Life
affects us deeply.
The Lyrics of Living
 touch us
in profound ways.

Life is hidden
in little things,
in friendly gestures,
in a Beautiful Song
listened to as you
forgive a mistake,
in the Smile of eyes in Love
with Life,
in bold Dreams
.and Tears of Joy.

.The little things
are the real things
that remain in our
memories
over Time.
The Love of
God
is PERFECTION.
He
has always Loved you.

“Before
I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the Light of day,
I had Holy Plans for you.”
– Jeremiah 1:5
.
Jeremiah 1:5 has implications
for all of God’s Children.
God reveals
that when He Creates a Person,
it is from His Plan
that He has developed
before
He began forming them
in the Sacred Womb.

Breath deep
and remember those golden times.
You
are Truly Blessed
to have lived in the greatest era
of all Time.
Celebrate
that which has passed.
We will never
pass this way again.

Yes,
You have Lived.
You laughed.
But more importantly,
you Loved.

In our Treasured Memories
lie the sweetest feelings
one will ever enjoy.
We have been Blessed
to reflect upon
what the past can bring
to Today,
where we have been
and the precious lessons of Life
we have learned
in Living.
.
We can realize
that we Loved,
and were Loved,
every moment.
We
are able to take Life
to unprecedented heights
of expression.

Love
is Timeless.
It tugs at our Heart,
even though we barely have a clue
what it is all about.
Love
is like an abstract 
work of Art.
It requires
us to have our own
interpretation.

Life
becomes more transparent
in our personal relationships.
It can be interpreted in many different
ways.
.
The Truth
can be harder to find
than it ever was.
But with the Help
and Guidance
of our Lord,
who is the Ultimate Source
of ALL Knowing,
we can know.
.
Just open your mind
and open your Heart,
to God.

Although your eyes are open,
without mining the Gold
of your Treasured Past,
they might just as well
have been closed.

We appreciate
the value of True Friendships
and what they bring to our Lives.
And,
your remembrance
can shine a Light
on the value
in a simple but deep way.
You
will be very Thankful
for the renewal of your Love
with Friends you have Treasured
in Life.

Every time
we remember the indelible memories
of Treasured Moments,
we come to appreciate the value
of true Friendships
and what they bring
to our very brief
Lives.
Our memory
shines the Light
in a simple but deep way.
And we become Thankful
for the Treasure of our Friends
that we have in Life.

Let us remember
that Life can change
in the blink of an eye.
Don’t miss the opportunity
to tell someone how much you Love them.
Life is short.
It is
brief at best.

No one can ever define
what is being said
between your Heart
and someone you
Love.

When
you hold someone near,
you drown out the crowd.
What is being said
is between your Heart
and another Heart.
Such Love
transports you to a Happier place,
a new space,
in Heaven
on Earth.

Who reads our Hearts?
Who hears in minds?
Who sees the Light?
Who is the Light?
.
Our Creator.

Love
tells our Life Story
in such a pure way.

Life
defies definition.
And very few things in Life,
such as a Sunrise or Sunset,
the birth of a Child,
or the death of a Loved one,
 simply cannot be expressed in words.
Only in personal
reflection.

Our remembrances
are so powerful, quietly powerful,
and they reside in a deep place,
inside our Sacred Being,
where Reality is deeper
than everyday Life.

Know
that in your Heart,
you are cherished
every Day.
Listen
to your Heart.
It
will tell you
what you truly desire.

And you can achieve
anything
your Heart desires.
You are
a Beautiful Human Creation 
of God.

Goodnight.

The Path To Joy

10 tips from Deepak Chopra on Creating a Life of Spiritual Optimism and Joy.
click here to read more

In his book, “Why is God Laughing?” renowned teacher Deepak Chopra gives a humorous take on Spirituality – using a fictional tale of a comedian and his unlikely mentor to show the way back to hope, joy, and even enlightenment. Here are 10 principles for Spiritual optimism adapted from the fable that will help you direct your Life on a path to Joy every single day.
(Adapted from “Why is God Laughing: The Path to Joy and Spiritual Optimism” by Deepak Chopra, Harmony Books, 2008)

The Healthiest Response to Life Is
Laughter.

This first principle serves as an antidote to fear and sorrow by encouraging you to experience life as joyous. When you feel momentary Happiness, or you want to burst out laughing, or you smile for no apparent reason, you are glimpsing Eternal Reality. In time, these moments of Joy will begin to knit together. Instead of the exception, they will become the norm. There is no better way to know that you are growing in God-Realization.

There Is Always a Reason to Be Grateful.

This second principle is an antidote to victimization. The purpose of gratitude is to connect yourself to a higher vision of life. Once you realize that you alone are the projector of reality, you will no longer be dominated by external events. You will correct the mistake that lies at the very root of victimization: a belief that the movie controls you, instead of the other way around.

You Belong in the Scheme of the Universe.
There’s Nothing to Be Afraid Of.
You Are Safe.

The third principle is the antidote for insecurity….The role assigned to you is right and proper. It is tailor-made for you, for your complete self. The voice of fear tries to convince you that you are a helpless victim of chance. The very opposite is true. At the deepest level, the level of the Soul, you are the author of everything that happens to you.

Your Soul Cherishes Every Aspect of Your Life.

The fourth principle is the antidote for feeling undervalued. It states that your worth is absolute, and that everything that happens to you – whether it feels good at the time or not – is part of a divine plan unfolding from the level of the soul. A person’s worth is the value of a Soul, which is Infinite. Since every event in your Life isn’t happening just to a person but to a Soul, everything in Life should be cherished.

There Is a Plan, and Your Soul Knows What It Is.

The fifth principle is the antidote to meaninglessness. It states that your Life has a purpose. You determine that purpose at the Soul level, and then that purpose unfolds in daily Life as part of the Divine Plan. The more deeply you are connected to the Plan, the more powerful it becomes in your Life. Ultimately, nothing can stop it.

Ecstasy Is the Energy of Spirit. When Life Flows, Energy Is Natural.

The sixth principle is the antidote to inertia. It states that infinite energy is available to you. You are a co-creator with God. To claim your creative power, you need only connect with the primal energies that play within you. The kind of energy you can call upon at any given moment depends on your level of consciousness.

There Is a Creative Solution to Every Problem. Every Possibility Holds the Promise of Abundance.

The seventh principle is the antidote to failure. It tells us that every question includes its own answer. The only reason a problem arises before its solution is that our minds are limited – we think in terms of sequences, of before and after. Outside the narrow boundaries of time, problems and solutions arise at the same instant.

Obstacles are Opportunities in Disguise.

The eighth principle is the antidote to inflexibility….The secret is to abandon old habits and trust in spontaneity.m  Whenever you catch yourself reacting in an old, familiar way, simply stop. Don’t invent a new reaction; don’t fall back on the opposite of what you usually do. Instead, ask for openness. Go inside, be with yourself, and allow the next reaction to come of its own accord.

Evolution Leads the Way Through Desire.

The ninth principle is the antidote to hypocrisy. It encourages us to act on our genuine desires, because they show the way to real growth. Don’t pretend to be better – or other – than you are. Don’t fall into the trap of having one face for the world and another to God. Who you really are is exactly who you should be.

Freedom Is Letting Go.

The tenth principle is the antidote to attachment. If you let go of what isn’t real in your life, what’s left will be real: what’s left is God alone. To be free, you must find a way to let go of all the stuck energy that keeps sending the same old messages. The past is a false guide to the future, and yet it’s what most of us rely upon. By letting go of stuck energies, you let go of your past.

There Is Heaven In Your Heart / 10 Ways To Connect With Nature / School Calendar

Sitting in the Beautiful and Loving
Cathedral
of God’s Natural World
and Listening to the Birds
Flowering the wind with Beautiful Song,
  is Divine connection to our Mother,
Earth.
.
Watching the Butterflies
in the morning soft Sunlight,
through the green leaves of Trees
and plants gently and patiently growing,
makes Time stand still,
as it should,
and does.
It is beyond words.

If
we patiently observe
the Natural World around us,
it will influence our decisions without us knowing it.
Such Beauty,
found only in Nature,
will heighten our senses without us
feeling it.
.
God’s Real World
will gently comfort our Lives
without us realizing it.
We can come to Truly Live,
to know how
to be alive.
Yes,
our Lives can be Truly Lived
moving through the illusion of Time,
ever searching for His Love,
seeking a Sign.

This land of illusion and mirage
is clarified by our yearning
for the Loving Expressions of Creation
of our Lord.
.
Yes,
we have wandered far
from the depths of the meaning
of Life,
here and beyond.

My Dear Friend,
know
that you are Loved.
 This Ocean of sorrow
is not of your own.
It is the sorrow of us all,
spread across all of Humanity,
while the Love of God
is lifting our Hearts
to the Stars.

In the Beautiful Nature
of Life and Love,
our Hearts will find
Peace.

In your Sacred Heart
is Beautiful understanding.
Love is free,
and it is the most valuable thing
on Earth.
Love is
God given from High Above.
To simply say,
“I Love You“,
frees a Human Heart
from pain and sorrow,
from the suffering and hurt
that only Love can take away.

The Sunshine of your
Smile,
always shines through.

My wish for you
is to find your Journey
filled with Love,
and thus
Dreams coming
True.

Our deep thoughts
come out of a Song
with words we keep
inside of us.
Everyone
will Love the Song
of your Heart.
Sing it
with your smiles,
your gentle greetings,
your Forgiving manner.
.
Your Compassion
is the Pathway
between God
and so many others
in need.
It is the connection
between Today
and
what can be.

How lucky are we –
to feel
completely Real
in the Loving Arms
of God,
to know
the finest words
ever spoken,
are in Prayer.

Love
is eloquently expressed
from Above,
in the moment we are aware
of the Wonder,
of the indefinable Gift
of Life.
.
In the precious moments
of Human Beingness,
we can feel great
Joy.

Be grateful
that we got to experience
Life,
as reflected by
the Love
that was its
Creator.

 Our Parents
were waiting with so much Joy,
for our arrival,
for the Flowering
of us.
.
Beyond our greatest Hopes.
Incandescent,
and in the same moment,
 with more Love
than anything they have ever
known.

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
and Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.” 
– William W. Purkey

You are
a phenomenal Creation,
a very Human Being.
Many more Beautiful experiences
will happen in Life,
when your run
like the children run
as the Sun goes down
 in fields of green and gold.
.
The Magic in the Universe
may be found
in a single Flower
found on the Pathway
of Love.

Our World
is a Beautiful Place.
Keep moving forward
my Friend;
adopt positive and beneficial behaviors.
Treat yourself with Kindness.
Then treat others
as you treat
yourself.

You
are simply Beautiful
when lifting everyone
up.
Your Light of Love
is always seen and appreciated.
Every person
has a Light to shine
in this World.
It is up to us
to step out
of the shadows,
and let it shine.

 Shine you’re Light.
Make this World
a more Beautiful place.
Be
who you want to attract.

The Light within you
is always aglow.
Love yourself
and keep Loving others.
Look up
to the Sky
and remember,
the Light of your Love
is brighter than any
Star.
.
You are made of
Stardust.
You
are One with the Universe.
There is Magic
within your Soul,
and God’s Love
within your
Sacred Heart.

There are Words
engraved into your unconscious mind
that will guide you in the direction
of a positive Life
every Day
you chose to Live and Pray.
.
Return to the innocence
of a Child
at play,
and Peace
will rule the
Day.

Goodnight.

10 ways to connect with Nature
when you live in an urban environment

Soak up your daily slice of Nature

© Kirstin Scholtz

Every time I return to the city after time spent in nature, I seem to have a fresh perspective on life. The reality of our modern day lifestyle is that most of us don’t have the opportunity to spend our entire lives in the great outdoors and often live in an urban environment.

A recent Stanford Study found that walking in Nature yields measurable mental benefits and may reduce the risk of depression. Given that more than half of the world’s population lives in urban settings, the study investigated the difference in individuals who walked 90 minutes in a grassland area with oak trees versus those who walked the same distance on a busy street.

The results clearly showed that those candidates who had walked in nature had a difference in their brain that projected less negative emotions than those who had walked in the urban environment. This finding is significant as prior studies had also identified that city dwellers have a 20 per cent higher risk of anxiety disorders and a 40 per cent higher risk of mood disorders as compared to people in rural areas.

So, how do you get your dose of Nature whilst living and working in an urban environment? Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

1. Enjoy your lunch in a park — get away from the desk and enjoy your lunch under the shade of a tree

2. Go camping — drag out the camping gear and escape to your local State or National park for a weekend in the bush

© WildArk

3. Farm stay — nothing like waking up on a farm with crisp fresh air and sound of a rooster crowing

© Sarah Dennis

4. Check out the stars — find a clear space away from the city lights to admire the stars and ponder the universe

5. Take a picnic — time to stock up on fresh bread, great cheese and some gourmet treats to head out for a picnic.

6. Once a month — mark on your calendar one weekend a month where you commit to getting into nature and turn off your phone for the day!

7. Take a dip in the ocean — get down to your closest ocean or river and dive right in — a swim in a natural environment always makes you feel alive — maybe take a moment to explore the local rock pools to see what you find.

8. Go for a bush walk — find a local bush walking area and take yourself on a 90 minute sojourn — observe the birds, the insects and the sounds of the bush.

9. Buy a plant — can’t get to nature, bring nature to you. Plants have been proven to have excellent benefits for indoor spaces and air quality.

10. Watch a sunset — find yourself an excellent vantage point to watch the sun go down.

A Deeper Reality / The Deeper Side of Love and Relationship / School Calendar

A Deeper Reality

‘The intuitive mind is a Sacred Gift,
the rational mind its faithful servant.
We have created a society
that honors the servant
and has forgotten the Gift’.
– Albert Einstein

Deep within us,
beneath
the surface of our conscious mind,
is a place we do not know.
It is
a deeper mind
within.

Most people are far, far away
from this level of awareness.
They live on the fast paced,
often violent surface of the Earth,
with all of its illusions, opportunities,
adventures and misadventures
and misfortunes.

But deep within
there is a burning desire,
a never ending yearning
to find the true
meaning of our
existence.

Someone
must teach you that Life
is lived for Love and Joy.
I have my Mother to thank. 
– – –  Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This longing
emanates
from a deeper place
we can only find
within
each of us.

It is
the very Human Heart
in which
our Creator Lives.

When God Created Man
in His Own Image,
He made Mankind
to share
Divine Prerogatives.

YOU
are someone great, wonderful and
different.
You are the most excellent
of all God’s Beautiful Creations.
You are a special expression
of Divine Nature,
Created by God’s own Personal Activity.
God created you with Solemnity
and Dignity,
and with the Honor of an intimate
Divine deliberation.
He created you
with such Love
as you Love
your precious Child.
You are
deeply Loved,
Divine Child
of God.
“Then the Lord God
formed the Man of dust from the ground
and breathed into his nostrils
the Breath of Life,
and Man became a Living Creature.”
– Genesis 2:7

Only Mankind,
of all God’s Creatures,
has a Spirit,
a God-Consciousness,
the capacity for knowing God
and holding Spiritual Communion with Him
through Prayer.

       Yes.
There is a deeper reality.

If this knowledge
can be realized,
if it can be accepted,
WE
will be able to envision
a new reason
for Life
and for Living.

How much
is a person responsible
for their own
destiny?
Can knowledge
arise from within
to reassure someone
that Life is not
a singular, lonely journey,
leading to nowhere,
to nothing
but death?

That’s me! A few years back and very much in Love with Life.

  Or can Life be Lived
with the Love
of God
to guide and comfort us?

My Dear Friends,
everyone who Loves,
experiences a relationship
with God.
God dwells deeply within us,
within Infinite
layers of Love.

There is much speculation
about the creative
potential of the mind,
about the degree to which
we can Truly have an impact
upon our own Human experience
here on Earth.

Love gives Truth, direction and purpose.

Yes,
the Human mind
creates its own reality.
But there is a
deeper reality,
a Mind
that created YOU,
the Mind of
God.

The mind of Mankind
is constantly striving to gain
privileges, possessions,
and become passionate
about Earthly things.
And the result is
immense suffering,
calamity and discord and death,
not only for ourselves,
but for the whole World.
“Someone’s lost the Plan
For the Brotherhood of man
And no one’s trying to find it anymore
And the winds become a sigh
For those who hate and those who die,
And the waves are black and slow along the shore.

“And will the grass be gone
from underneath the sky?
Will the golden Flower wither soon and die?
Will the fire burn out the land,
And the Sea fill up with sand,
Will the last word ever spoken be
WHY?”
– Roger Whittaker
Beyond the pale of our understanding.

Our Human race,
in its quest to conquer and possess,
to digress into the illusion
of ownership,
has disrupted the Natural World
so much,
that now we are confronted
by challenges on a magnitude
that leave us to question
our own survival.

“There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings.
The Ocean is a desert with it’s Life underground
And a perfect disguise above.
Under the cities lies a Heart made of ground
But the Humans will give no Love.
You see I’ve been through the desert
on a Horse with no name.
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain.”
– America

Such illusory, illogical aberrations of thought
bring us out of conscious alignment
with the rhythms of Nature
and Natural Wisdom.
And now,
we find it almost impossible
to align with our deeper,
natural
sense of Self,
our Real Self.

We cannot
even identify
our Self.

“You think you own
whatever land you land on,
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim.
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a Life,
Has a Spirit,
Has a Name.

Come run the hidden pine trails of the Forest.
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth.
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once,
never wonder what they’re worth.

The rainstorm and the river are my Brothers.
The Heron and the Otter are my friends.
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.

You can own the Earth and still
All you’ll own is Earth,
Until
You can paint
With all the colors of the wind.
– Stephen Schwartz
By altering our climate
we create new dimensions
of stress and uncertainty.
We are no longer
prepared for the future,
a future we cannot
predict.

But God,
My Friends,
dwells in the World
we live in.
And He
will prepare you
and strengthen you.
He will Love you.
“The Bible
is a Love letter
from God.”
– George Norwood, Deepermind.com

Tomorrow
is beyond the pale
of our understanding.
The future will require
a depth of understanding
and knowledge
and Compassion
that only
the Love of God
can provide.

God has placed within you
the strength
for you
to face the difficult times ahead
and deeper intelligence
in His Sacred Knowledge.

The answers lie
buried
deep within.

Goodnight.

           A Love Letter from God.

The  Deeper Side of Love and Relationship
© 2005 by Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson
visionarylead.org
click here to read more
 
The desire for the perfect relationship – walking off into a romantic sunset with your true love and living happily ever after –  is the Holy Grail of our culture, more cherished than winning the biggest sweepstakes.  But how elusive it is!

Why? 

Because the search for the romantic ideal is actually the projected outer form of our inner quest for our soul—only we don’t realize this.  The longing for romance is really our quest for Divine love—for the good, the true and the beautiful within us.  We “fall in love” with another person because we’ve projected our own inner qualities on someone else.  We wouldn’t notice these qualities in this person if they weren’t at least potential within us. 

Some of our great poets and playwrights such as Shakespeare understood this — his sonnets can be read as odes to the soul.  But secular society today just doesn’t get it.  So our entertainment industry stimulates an insatiable hunger for romance, and makes huge profits on it.

Romantic love is elusive because who you see is who you are.  You look out at the world through your self-created lens and see only a reflection of yourself and your own qualities and inner patterns, positive and negative.  You only attract a more loving person by becoming more loving yourself.  And you become more loving through practicing small acts of kindness and appreciation daily, and by meditating on love and opening your heart.  You become more loving by falling in love with your own soul—the center of radiant love within you. 

Romantic love is also elusive because most relationships are based on a union of only one or two levels or dimensions of your being.  But you have four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual.  Most relationships are based on a purely physical level, which fade with age and diminishing sexual energy.  It’s not that sexual attraction isn’t good–it’s just very incomplete–involving only a small part of your whole being.

Some relationships include a union on the emotional as well as the physical level, and fewer still include the mental or intellectual level, but these unions are more stable.

Wholeness in a relationship results from union on all four levels—physical, emotional, mental and Spiritual. While this type is somewhat rarer, it is a relationship of true soul mates.  These unions create those unusually loving, creative and intelligent families that attract the birth of a more advanced soul.  This type of union might also fulfill some other higher purpose, such as co-creating a significant project that serves the world in some way.

The quality of the inner note you sound–in other words, what you actually embody–is what determines whom you attract in your life.  Like attracts like.  If you want to attract a relationship that creates a union on all four levels or frequencies of your being, including the spiritual, you have to be conscious on all four levels, expressing a compatible energy on all these levels. 

Types of Love and Relationships If you look closely, you can observe three types of love: 

1. Soul love — based on the Law of Resonance, which is unconditional, unselfish love, given freely and responsibly, leaving the person free to be him/herself, and desiring only the best for the person; this love is experienced  in the heart center;
   
   
2. Personality love, based on the Law of Attachment, which has conditions or hooks in it and tends to trap others; this type of love says, I’ll love you only as long as you love me in return and fulfill my expectations; this love is experienced on more in the emotional, solar plexus center;
3. A mixture of soul and personality love, which includes an element of unconditional love, but also has many personal expectations, desires and demands; this type is a mixture of solar plexus and heart energy.

Relationship patterns are endlessly fascinating and can be of several types:

1.      Karmic renewals, where you meet the results of your past actions—both positive and negative–from this life or other lives.  These relationships provide opportunities to learn how to truly love someone and/or to forgive past wrongs.  

2.      Growth experiences, where for example you learn the lesson of being a responsible householder, providing for your family regardless of the personal cost.  Or the relationship could offer you the opportunity to learn a new spiritual quality, such as patience.  Or perhaps your partner embodies some quality that is lacking in you, such as courage, and you learn to develop it by observing it in him or her.  Men can learn to express archetypal feminine qualities from the woman in their relationship; women learn to express archetypal masculine qualities from the man in their relationship. The goal is for both partners to embody a balance of both qualities, as this creates stability–rather than trying to draw the complimentary energy from the other partner.

3.      Soul partnerships, where the purpose of the relationship has a higher dimension of service to the world in some form.  It’s important to keep the energy flow between the two people in balance with the energy expressed in service.  This can be seen as a flow of energy around a triangle, with one person at each point and service as the third point.  There shouldn’t be too much focus on the service aspect without sufficient energy also devoted to maintaining and deepening the relationship between the two people.

Every relationship offers you the opportunity to discover the unique beauty and gifts of that individual.  Everyone has something they can teach you — either in a positive, helpful way, or in a negative way.  Each relationship is an opportunity to open your heart and connect with the soul of another person. 

Take your longing for love a little deeper.  Let it guide you into a deeper experience of union with your Soul, your eternal self.  Allow your heart to open and experience greater love for everyone around you,
for all of life.  As you live in a daily expression of love, you will attract into your life other people who are more loving and supportive.

Knowledge is power,
and LIFE.
