so stop being
a backseat driver.

to the truth in everyone

Amen

Thought for the Day

​

Fear is an incompetent teacher.

Why listen to it?

***

Prayer for the Day

Only the lessons of love...

Only the lessons of love...

I am so done with ego
and its shenanigans.

For what has it ever shared
that turned out to be true?

And what has it ever brought me
but doom, gloom and excessive misery?

Amen

​

Thought for the Day

Everything that has a heart

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I offer myself
to my world
in love.

Please bless my gift.

For I would shine
with a light so bright
that the world becomes
a brighter place
for all of us
simply because
I am.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Got a question for you today.

Why would you choose to remain
in any situation in which
you had to constantly justify
your value to people who neither value
or love themselves?

I'd rather live under the I35 overpass.

Yet this is the constant stress
in which many of you put your mind
and body through every single day.

Why is that?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

My value is established
by the fact that I exist
and requires nothing else.

And so does everyone else's.

May I never forget
that expectations are the bitter root
of misery, and love makes
no demands. Ever.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

Your life....right now...
as it is...could hardly be
more perfect.

Open your eyes....

Open your eyes and your heart...

***

Prayer for the Day

​

It may not be perfect
for anyone else on this planet,
but it is the perfect life for me.

Thank you for the GIFT.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

When you take back your power
and begin to love yourself

with the love which has always

dwelled within you,
your entire being begins to self heal.

***

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for showing
me that no one else
can complete me,
I complete mySelf.

There is no other.

Bless the lives of those
who have always lived within me
and who have shown me
who and what I forever am,
the One without a second.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Do what you love
and love what you do.

Never do another thing
for any other reason
than for the love of it
and how it makes
you feel inside when you do.

How could this be difficult?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I choose a life of love.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Beauty is taking a walk
or a bicycle ride with God today.

Open your eyes.

Open your eyes and your heart.

There is so much more
than you have allowed yourself
to see, feel, hear or experience
thus far.

Why is that?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I live
with fresh new eyes
and a heart
as wide as the world.

Father, take my hand.

For we have a life
of care to see about together,
in union and harmony
with all of life.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Never forget that words
are but symbols of symbols,
nothing more and nothing less.

No word has ever been uttered
nor received by anyone, at any time,
that has held the exact same meaning
for either the one speaking
or the one receiving.

For no word can ever
or has ever expressed the truth.

The best that a word can ever do
is simply point to something
unspeakable, and it is up to
the receiver of the words
to either focus on the words
which are being spoken
the ideas which are being expressed.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Teach me to listen
with my whole being,
for the message comes not
from the words expressed
but the intersection
which lies between and beyond
that which can be spoken.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

100% of all miracles occur
as a result of the healing of the mind
which unfolds organically
as a result of the restoration
of peace to one's awareness.

Regardless of what you think
is in need of a miracle,
be it the body or a life situation,
it is your mental state
which is crying out for help
because you are the one
who has abandoned yourself
by abandoning your peace.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Help me remember that
my Self and my peace
are identical twins
and keep them closer to me
at all times than my own
beating heart.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

In all endeavors, walk in love.

In every way you relate
to yourself and your world,
abide in love.

This is the pathless path.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Bend me.

Break me.

Mold me.

Use me.

So I can love even more.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Look about you today.

Look into the eyes
of those you pass on the street.

Listen to your child speak.

Feel the beingness
of the one before you.

Notice your thoughts,
feelings, body and ego.

What is missing
in all these experiences?

The awareness of
the living Presence of God

in each experience

and every encounter.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Help me feel your arms embracing me
in every experience I have today,
in recognition that Thou art with me
and that it is love which is
and always has been
living me.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

A significance driven life
will never work.

Why?

Because it is a life
according to ego.

You are driven by the felt perception
of inner insignificance,
and thus spend your life
seeking fulfillment
through people and things
incapable of providing it.

You chase it in jobs.

You chase it in relationships.

You chase it in how the body looks
and is adorned.

It it why you become
a spiritual seeker in the first place.

So what is the fulcrum
on which this relationship
with your life turns around?

Things begin to change
the very instant you begin changing
your relationship with yourself.

For it is on this one decision,
that you are both loving and lovable,
created perfectly to live your life
as only you can, that one experiences
the turning of the tide.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Thank you for showing me
that I am beautiful because​
of the One who lives
as me.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Dive deeply into your experience
of being human today.

Your life is a gift
and so are you.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

No more plodding my way
through life, where one monotonous day
rolls into the next ad nauseum.

Let me see that each instant
is an opportunity to swing
for the fences, to live and play big,
or, in contrast, to tuck tail
and slink home----content with
a mediocre existence,
a mere shadow of who
I actually came here to be.

I choose the unbound life.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Only you can eliminate
your suffering.

Suffering is a choice.

What you do not recognize
is that whenever you are not
deeply happy, you are suffering.

This need not be.

Use your tools.

Watch what unfolds
when you decide to meet
every experience
with loving-kindness.

You will find that whenever
and wherever you make
the alleviation of your suffering
your singular priority,
not only does it free you,
it benefits everyone around you
and the frequency which you transmit
to the world is that of peace.

Who do you want to be
in this world?

What will be your gift?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Make me an instrument
of Thy peace.

Whatever it takes, Lord,
whatever it takes.

I welcome every experience
that will make that possibility
my reality in this life.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

You are not your feelings
nor are you your emotions,
but you have feelings
and emotions.

You are not your thoughts
nor are you your beliefs,
but you have thoughts
and beliefs.

You are not your body
but each and every day
you experience having a body.

You are not your ego
nor are you the personal identity
you both experience & answer as,
but you have an ego.

You are not a human being,
though you are experiencing
a human life.

So live your life and don't try to deny
having this very human experience,
don't seek to avoid it, to distract yourself
from it, to numb yourself or protect
yourself from it, nor pretend
it isn't happening.

Live it fully and allow
the Divinity which is the Real You
to shine through.

For that, my dear,
is why you are here.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I bow in gratitude
and deep humility
before the life
which has been and is
mine to live.

Thank you for the gift.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

There is an exquisitely beautiful
verse in yesterday's workbook lesson
from ACIM which says the following:

We offer thanks to God our Father
that in us all things will find their freedom.

All things will find their freedom in us!

One might ask, how could such a miracle
transpire through me?

Through your acceptance
of yourself and your life.

Through your constant willingness
to live the life which you have been given,
to let life shatter your heart,
again and again and again,
to smile and breathe your way through
it all in trust, allowing the light
to shine through all your perceptions
of uncomfortable or wrong, sharing it
through your presence, your energetic
signature, with the world
that is yours to touch.

A tall order some might say.

But could anything short of this
even be called a life?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Let me truly live this day
as if it were my last.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Every problem you have ever had
or ever will have is entirely ego born;
rife with its fears, resistance
and attempts to control.

How can an illusory identity
beget something real?

Therefore, it cannot really
make you suffer
and agonize
unless you let it.

***

Prayer for the Day

You cannot really let go of
something which is not real.

You can only recognize
its unreality and choose to be
done with it once and for all.

I am done, Lord,
I am done.

Done with the game
of ego and its antics
and misery inducing

perturbations.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

What would it cost you
to be so sensitive, so present,
so open and loving, that you allowed
life to utterly shatter your heart
to the point of no return to
the person you once thought
your were?

For this is what happens
when one is truly alive.

It would be a shame
to experience the entire breadth
of a precious human life,
having never gotten around
to experiencing the fathomless
depths which hallmark
the life of one who has truly lived
and loved.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Break my heart.

Break it again and again
and again.

For I would learn
to love even more.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

You believing your mind
is the singular cause
of 100% of the suffering,
pain and misery
you have ever experienced.

Getting that, the gig is up.

Getting that is the beginning
of FREEDOM.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I end the love affair
I have had with the mind
and its misinformation

real eyes ing that

it is all fake news.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Each day you are becoming
increasingly aware of
when you are being resistant.

And this is good because
seeing it is the first step
toward freedom from it.

However, it is vital to your peace
that you see something else
about resistance.

Since the moment you drew
your first breath,
you have been programmed
and conditioned to resist
everything about your experience
of being human.

You have personalized it
and this is what causes
your suffering; the urge to fight
tooth and nail against anything
that you sense to be a threat
to the status quo of how
you see yourself and your life
as it is now.

Thus, the resistance is not even yours
in the first place.

It's a projection from those
who programmed and conditioned
you to hate & resist the thing you are
and yet defend it against
everything which you perceive
to be a threat to it.

Isn't it high time
to see it clearly for what it is?

When you see it, it no longer
can hold sway over you
unless you allow it to.

Who says you have to keep it,
struggle with it,
and use it as the means
to deny yourself your birthright?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Today I willingly and joyfully

relinquish anything and everything
that is not authentically mine.

And so it is.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Allow LOVE to lead you.

 

To do this, you must remain

attuned or in alignment with

True North at all times.

That's not so hard, is it?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Help me remember that
when things escalate or feel complex,
I have lost sight of LOVE
and this is a clarion call to return
to the sanctity and clarity
of the heart.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Sometimes the best thing
you can do with some people

is to love them from afar.

This is an act of loving-kindness
for both parties.

The trick is to make no one wrong,
including yourself,
when the need to do so is evident.

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me remember that
being a doormat, a scapegoat,
or someone to dump on
has absolutely nothing to do
with love.

​

Help me love myself enough
to know when it is time to walk away.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

There are only two ways of seeing.

Through the mind and the body's eyes
which are its instrument of choice.

Or that of gazing upon
what is seen through inward vision,
the vision of the heart.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

I choose the love song
of the heart.

 

Bless my longing

to truly see this day.

Amen

​

***

Thought for the Day

​

Never mistake what your mind
is telling you for the truth.

For the mind's purpose
is to distract you with the meaningless,
which then becomes
meaningful to you.

This is how you lose the awareness
of the simplicity of truth.

And, my dears, this is precisely
why our world is as it is.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Help me ignore the mind's
pontificating today
and return again and again
to the unmistakable majesty
of the lanscape of the heart

and the View which that reveals.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Jesus was reported to have said:

You shall know the truth
and the truth shall
set you free.

Many read this statement
and think it implies that at

some point (in the future)

you will know the truth

(because you do not know it now)

and when you do, you will be free.

But this statement is about
being able to be present to what
you are experiencing in this moment.

It is about the ability
to be honest with yourself
about what you inner world
is showing you.

 

In other words, the willingness

to tell the truth to you.

It is about smiling
and breathing through it,
being honest with yourself
about the isness of your experience.

It is about being committed to
no longer denying, avoiding, distracting
or numbing (in order to not be with
your experience).

Lastly, it is about training yourself
to soften into and open your heart
to what is here, rather than using it
as yet another excuse to invalidate yourself.

What you seek is never any further
than your willingness to be present
to your own beating heart,
accepting all of yourself
with an open and loving hand.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

It is becoming clearer and clearer
to me how many times a day
I invalidate myself
by making my experience
wrong, hoping to experience
a better version of me
sometime down the road.

Help me see that this is a lovely yarn
the ego spins to convince me
that I am sincere
when in truth I am not.

For if I were sincere I would see
that what I have been looking for
has been with me all along.

Help me learn to love
the one I'm with,
every permutation of me,
myself and I, knowing
I am loved and always enough.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Everyone wants to be happy.

Everyone wants to be free.

Everyone wants a deep sense
of fulfillment.

Everyone longs for peace.

Everyone yearns to wake up
each morning with a sense
of impending joy, rather than
the monotonous cacophony of doom,
gloom and excessive misery.

So what's the problem?

Humanity is driven in their search
to try to find these things
in this world day after day,
again and again and again,
only to meet failure
time after time after time
because they look outside
themselves for what may only be
found within.

Find a peace within you
which the world can never shake
nor take away from you.

Then you will know something
of true freedom and fulfillment.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Thank you for the peace
which fills this heart
to overflowing.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

There is one true Cause
and that is God
and God is all there is.

Omniscient, Omnipotent
and Omnipresent.

ONE without a second.

A bogus cause is not truly existent
and therefore has
no effects, real or unreal.

For even to say unreal
is to impart a meaning & quasi-existence
which is not there.

Truth is true and only truth is true.

This is the realization
of the saints, sages and mystics.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

There is only God.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Pick one thing in your life
with which you struggle
and feel at odds.

It does not matter what it is,
be it person, something which
happened in the past,
something which is happening now
or even yourself.

The only rule is that it be
something which
you do not feel love for now,
let alone like, something you have
many grievances toward.

Just one person or thing.

Make it your mission
to genuinely love it.

Love it without condition
with an open hand
exactly as it is.

No secret agenda that it
somehow change or improve,
simply love it without expectations.

Why?

Because everything blooms
in the presence of a love which holds
no record of wrong.

And in the process,
you will become the miracle
you have always dreamed
you could be.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

A person comes instantly to mind,
one whom I have tried to love
and have not met with thus fa​r.

Bless our hearts today
as I sincerely explore
what it means to love another
with your entire being, asking to see
the one whom God

loves and adores.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

Think, move and act
from the knowing and certainty
in your heart, and you will know
peace in every step.

Trust issues are fear issues
in disguise.

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Help me listen carefully
and lovingly to my heart's song,
for it is the way of peace.

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

​

There is a fathomless depth in which
you have never allowed yourself
to love you, meeting yourself
with tenderness, openness,
kindness, and generosity.

How about really and truly
showing up for you today?

***

Prayer for the Day

​

Note to self:

I am here for you.

Amen

***
