Thought for the Day

Thought for the Day

​​

Let’s take a closer look

at something you experience

on a daily basis.

 

You cannot lose your power

unless you give it away

voluntarily.

 

NOTHING IS EVER WORTH

THE PRICE OF YOUR PEACE.

 

Your peace is your power.

 

Never forget that.

 

Peace, power and presence

are synonyms for your

natural state.

 

And, we have said that

the way you accumulate

true power or presence,

which is also known as

an abiding state of peace,

is determined by the degree

to which you are willing

to face yourself & your inner 

experience of life.

 

Thus, the way you lose power

is by trying to avoid your

experience because you

wish it were different and you

are afraid to learn how to accept

the things you want to avoid

experiencing.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Grant me courage to see

that it is always about me.

 

I am determined to guard

my peace from here on out.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

You have spent your entire life

trying to outrun your experiences.

 

You've tried everything,

 

Distract yourself…

 

Grab a bag of chips or a pint

of Ben and Jerry’s.

 

Take a drink, smoke a joint,

take a pill, read a book, buy

another new book, maybe

some retail therapy, call

someone and waste their time

and yours bitching and

complaining, clean, garden,

go to another meeting,

you name it.

 

Nothing has ever worked

and darling, nothing

ever will.

 

At some point, you have

to have the courage to

turn and face yourself.

 

You have been bloody

coward your whole life.

 

Time to listen to the clarion

call which whispers to you

in each and every moment

so poignantly…

 

Beloved….

 

Beloved…

 

Is now the time when you

will allow yourself to have

the experience that you

are having?

 

Freedom is the byproduct

of how inclusive are you

of The experience you

are having, whether inner

or outer.

 

There is only one way

to love oneself and that

is by how deeply you

are relating to what is here,

not how you wish it was.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me be brave

enough to be the friend

to me that I deserve.

Amen

***

 12/08/2024

Thought for the Day

Simply put, suffering

is the unwillingness

to surrender to and

accept the experience

that you are having.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me run toward

every experience

with an open and

loving heart.

Amen

***

 12/07/2024

Thought for the Day

You are entirely entitled

to have whatever experience

you happen to be having,

but only 100% of the time.

 

Your feelings do not affect

your soul.

Your emotions do not affect

your soul.

Your thoughts do not affect

your soul.

The words that you speak

do not affect your soul.

Your ego does not affect

your soul.

Your actions do not affect

your soul.

And neither can anyone

else’s affect you, unless

of course, you let them.

But even then, only your

humanity can be hurt

or affected.

The soul remains untouched,

sacrosanct forever and forever.

Why then do you waste so much

time, effort and energy trying

to fix yourself when there is

absolutely nothing wrong

about you or your experience?

***

Prayer For The Day

Help me real eyes deeper

and deeper each

and every day that

I am the perfect me.

Amen

***

 12/06/2024

Thought for the Day

Your life is a serial adventure

through form, time and space

to be lived as only you can.

 

You are the only one

on this entire planet

who is perfectly qualified

to be you.

 

Therefore, you cannot

get it wrong, nor can you

miss out on anything.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Thank you for the life

which is mine to live.

Amen

***

 12/05/2024

Thought for the Day

What could possibly be

more useful or meaningful

than to be able to face

yourself and your world

each and every moment

of each and every day

with calm, equipoise

and a mind which is able

to remain unfettered and

undisturbed, consistently

able to effortlessly return

only love?

 

As far as I can see,

absolutely nothing,

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Guide me as I consciously

align myself and remain

tethered to the light

which is the bedrock of

all things manifest.

Amen

***

 12/04/2024

Thought for the Day

You are always infinite,

my dear.

 

You are not attaining or

achieving anything.

 

You are simply aligning

Your awareness with what

is always here and

your breath is the bridge

that facilitates this.

 

Clear?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

It is becoming clearer

and clearer to me

how breath awareness

is the key to freedom.

 

May all beings

travel across the bridge

of the breath, including

me.

Amen

***

 12/03/2024

Thought for the Day

There is one key to presence

and that is breath awareness.

 

How can you be here now?

 

How can you truly lean into

acceptance, if you are not

anchored and immersed

in your breath?

 

Experiment today.

 

Slow your roll and see

what happens when you

anchor your awareness

on your breath and breathe

mindfully?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me as I relax into

my breath today

and remain aware.

Amen

***

 12/02/2024

Thought for the Day

The most difficult thing

to do in all the universe

is nothing.

 

Nothing is a very fine thing

to say, and more often

than not, the very best thing

to do.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Please give me a chill pill

today and help me

remember that

nothing spoken

adds anything

to silence.

 

Amen

***

 12/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Whenever you are faced with

a choice and the road to take

is not immediately clear,

ask yourself one simple

question:

 

What is the most peaceful

option available to me

right now?

 

No deciision is ever difficult

when you remember this.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I was born to live a simple,

loving and care-free life.

 

Let me not forget this.

 

If there is stress or suffering

involved, I am the one

who is not seeing clearly.

 

Let me return to my breath

and align with spirit.

 

Amen

***

 11/30/2024

Thought for the Day

Acceptance is your very

best friend.

 

In fact, it is the singular

key to PEACE.

 

FREESOM requires

nothing more than

that.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I thank God that freedom

is no further away than

the awareness of my breath

and an open heart that

genuinely receives

everything.

 

Amen

***

 11/29/2024

Thought for the Day

Everyone and everything

is a manifestation

of the same Source.

 

This is the conceptual

framework for all

experiences, both inner

and outer.

 

Let it walk in the space

before you, ever informing

your every experience.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

My new mantra:

 

"Just liike me."

 

Teach me to use it

liberally and take it

to heart in all the

moments of my life.

 

Amen

***

 11/28/2024

Thought for the Day

(Thanksgiving Day)

When your relationship with

yourself is grounded in

something that is real, and

you know that what is

happening is supposed to be

happening, then there is

absolutely nothing left

for you to do other than

to open your heart to what is,

to deeply embrace what is

coming up for you, knowing

that what you are experiencing

is actually the key to liberation

if you allow it to so be.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me not forget

that the people I will

encounter today and

the situations that I

will experience are all

meant to happen.

 

I have the opportunity

to watch my breath,

feel my feelings and

take all of my power

back.

 

I also have the freedom

to walk away when

it is important to do so.

 

I am no one's black

​sheep or whippiing post.

 

Amen

***

 11/27/2024

Thought for the Day

"If you don’t love me

at my worst, then you

don’t deserve me

at my best.” 

 

Marilyn Monroe

 

The most powerful statement

a human being can make

(if it is genuine and come's

from the heart) is "I accept

and love myself as I am

and I am done with trying

to change myself."

 

When you stop having

a problem with being who

you are and how you are,

not only do you stop

having problems, no one

will have the power

to disturb your peace

ever again.

 

It doesn't get any

better than that, beloved.

 

That's the life Divine.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me immerse myself

deeply into the life

that is mine to live

with my heart as wide

as the world.

 

Amen

***

 11/26/2024

Thought for the Day

Never Never Never

give up on yourself.

 

Beloved, you are so

worthy of your own

loving devotion

regardless what life

throws your way or

others say or do,

 

Grace will always

make itself known

to you if you allow

it to, no matter how

difficult  things may

seem.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me real eyes

that stubbornness

is one of my best

qualities when I

remember to point

it in the direction

of myself.

 

Stubbornness then

becomes tenacity

and steadfastness.

 

Amen

***

 11/25/2024

Thought for the Day

If something does not feel

lright to you, it if is not'

iberating, if it does not

make your life breezier,

lighthearted and freer,

walk away.

 

It is not meant for you

 

You do not need it.

 

Your heart is trying to

tell you something,

 

Listen to it.

 

You are here to be happy,

not to lead a life of sress,

misery and dread.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I am loved.

 

I am a treasure.

 

Help me listen carefully

to what my own heart

is telling me in every

moment and heed its

message to me.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/24/2024

Thought for the Day

Don't take my word for it.

 

And don't take the word

of anyone else for that

matter.

 

Your own direct experience

reveals whether or not

you are free or in bondage,

whether you have

an unwavering sense

of peace which needs

nothing, or you are still

caught up in the illusion

of chasing or clinging to

things that you feel affect

your safety and survival.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I will take my life

on any given day

over anybody else's

and there aren't enough

words on this planet

to say thank you

for that.

 

This is the life

abundant.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/23/2024

Thought for the Day

What could feel more wonderful

or valuable than PEACE?

 

A conscious state where

nothing is a vexation

to spirit and one feels

a happiness not born of

this world, ever renewing

itself and running over

to fill the earth?

 

For you are very much in

this world, but you are

no longer of it in any

manner.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

May PEACE prevail in

every heart establishing

the reign of Soul.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/22/2024

Thought for the Day

Is PEACE in your awareness?

 

If your answer is no, you

are not living your best

life by any stretch of

the imagination

no matter how you own

or what your accomplish-

ments.

 

Peace is not freedom from

worry or life's challenges.

 

Peace is living proof of

a life which isi being

consciously lived from

soul.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I give thanks for the peace

which is living me.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/21/2024

Thought for the Day

 

All approaches toward

oneself which are aimed

at getting rid of parts of

yourself and trying to

force transformational

states into being are

masculine approaches.

 

Those may well have

worked in the past,

but they will never

work in our world

today.

 

The last thing that

this world needs is

any more testosterone.

 

It is the Divine Feminine

that our world cries out for

now.

 

And it is through Her gentleness,

the qualities of kindness,

empathy, compassion and

the loving embrace of

the heart that we will turn

the tide for this entire planet.

 

And that takes no time

at all.

 

It just takes the willingness

to see that you are worthy,

that you have always been

worthy, to let your guard

down and allow the love

of your true Mother to

embrace you completely,

soothing all that hurts with

her immaculate & wise

touch.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me not fear allowing

myself to be tender, open

and vulnerable, for I wish

to give all of me to Thee,

O Divine Mother.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/20/2024

Thought for the Day

 

Oneness includes everything

and everyone precisely

as they are.

 

You do not earn it, you do not

become it, you were born

this way and nothing

can ever change that.

 

You are not separate from

anyone or anything.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me unburden

my heart today

in recognition that

I am always safe.

 

Now is always a good

​time to live as love.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/19/2024

Thought for the Day

 

It is an unavoidable fact of life

that you become the very thing

that you resist most about

your parents, sibling(s) or those

who were closest to you as

a young, impressionable and

vulnerable child.

 

It is the reason why people

become spiritual in the first

place.

 

You want to prove that

you are better than,

that you are not

like them.

 

And until you end the separation

that you have placed between

your heart and theirs

you will never ever be free.

 

What you will not embrace

will always have power

over you, beloved,

 

Aren't you tired of being

a victim, a doormat, unable

to live a truly free and

abundant life?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Give me courage to look

honestly at my heart today,

acknowledging resentments

and grievances I am

stiill holding onto.

 

And then grant me the courage

to restore harmony between

my heart and theirs by inviting

each of them back into

my heart as a part of me.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/18/2024

Thought for the Day

        (For Mary)

I would rather the good pleasure

of marching to the beat of my own

drum than spend a lifetime trying

to align myself with somebody

else's.

 

Wouldn't you?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

And the epitaph read:

 

She did it all her way.

from the start to the end,

 

Amen

 

***

 11/17/2024

Thought for the Day

Your usefulness in this world

is as limited or great as

the experiences you have had

and lived through in your

human journey.

 

You came here to be human.

 

So please do not shirk

your human experience

or make yourself wrong

for how you are handling it.

 

You did not come here

to transcend the human

part of you, but to integrate

the Divine with the human

and by your life, demonstrate

how great a human experience

can actually be when

you embrace it and play

full out, swinging for

the fences every single

beautiful moment of

your life,

***

 

Prayer For The Day

May I have the courage

to say 'yes' to every 

experience and real eyes

that my experiences as

a human being are for

the sake of all of us.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/16/2024

Thought for the Day

I know that I am priceless.

 

Do you?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

God grant me the courage

to terminate every relation-

ship in which I am not

valued and cherished

for the gift that I am.

I see me.

And though that seeing

I see You.

I am a masterpiece

designed by I Am.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you love the way you are,

do you enjoy your own

company, do you take delite

in your sense of humor, your

eccentricities, your openness,

and do you feel the same way

about yourself on your bad days

as well as the ones that feel

nothing short of miraculous?

 

Do you feel blessed to be

who you are and could you

care less about how others

feel about you?

 

Can you be authentically

you in every arena of your

life?

 

Do you feel legitimately

at home in your own skin?

 

If you can say 'yes' to each

of these questions, then

you can genuinely say

something about what

it means to be truly alive.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Thank you thank you

thank you for making

me the me that I am.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/14/2024

Thought for the Day

You architect your experience

of your reality through

your meanings and interpretations

and this is twice removed

from truth because you add

another layer of illusion through

your reactions and responses.

 

This is why a dozen people can

collectively share the same

experience and each will provide

an entirely different narrative

of what happened.

 

We are all experiencing

a different movie simultaneously

and this is the quintessential

definition for the Matrix.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Let me focus today on

the difference between

subjective and objective.

 

And let me clearly see

that my experience is

directly correlated with

my own meanings and

interpretations and I am

the singular source of that.

 

This means that my happiness

is always in my hands

and no one else's and so

I choose to live the peaceful

path of nonresistance.

 

I bow before the gift of life.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/13/2024

Thought for the Day

Peace is the foundation of 100%

all phenomena or content.

 

This is why radical acceptance

of what is, is the quickest way

in which we access the founda-

tion or truth directly.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Sinking deeply into the isness

of my experience regardless

what it is, I welcome that isness

into the depths of my heart

with a tender thank you for

the opportunity and the grace

to use it for the sake of all of us.

 

May all beings know

the suchness of peace.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/12/2024

Thought for the Day

Have you ever paused long

enough to consider the fact

that it is because you are loved

and cherished by God

so completely and without

question, that you even have

the luxury to complain, to

judge, to think you know

best in the first place?

 

Our world is living proof

of this truth.

 

So complain your little

ole heart out if you must,

but it isn't going to change

anything other than make

you miserable.

 

You are so done for.

 

You cannot change the love

of God.

 

Nothing can change

the love of God.

 

Unconditional means

without conditions.

 

Ever.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Grant me the courage

to surrender to love

so completely that "I"

disappear, and only love

remains.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/11/2024

Thought for the Day

At the end of the day

the only thing that matters

is how peacefully and

lovingly did I live in

my own skin?

 

How accepting was I

of myself and my world?

 

Was my joy infectious?

 

Did I spread my wealth

and let my light shine?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

May my life be a testament

which is shared by my presence;

of peace and harmony,

love and goodwill.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/10/2024

Thought for the Day

Why can you not trust in

the perfect unfolding of

what is?

 

Do you actually believe

that you know better than

God?

 

That takes some pretty big

brass kahoonas.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Let me stay in my own

lane today, minding

my own bees wax.

 

I know that I couldn't

find my butt in the dark

with both hands most days,

so what makes me think

I know best about what

should be happening

for anyone or anything?

 

Amen

 

***

 11/09/2024

Thought for the Day

The reality of who you are

is a Michelin star consciousness

on a three star planet.

 

You have forgotten that you

chose to incarnate here

in order to help others, to

introduce a new definition

of what it means to be human.

 

How is your acting like

a third grader fighting

on the playground

helping anyone?

 

Come back to your breath.

 

Come back to peace.

 

Peacefully and lovingly

be the change you wish

to see in the world

and stop wasting time.

 

You are plugging into

the Matrix and have

forgotten your heart

and the heart of others.

 

The heart represents

the real and changeless.

Think about it.

 

What do you feel is

the best use of

your life?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Let me not forget that

my strength, my power

and my peace come

from the One Life

living me.

 

Everything else is

a product of the Matrix.

 

Amen

 

***

 11/08/2024

Thought for the Day

The reason for your turmoil

is because you have been

enitrely focused on the content

of your life, the content of the

lives of those you love, and

the content of what is happening

in this country and other

troubled spots around

the globe.

 

Think about it.

 

You have absolutely no control

over these things and yet,

you are very attached to how

you think they should be.

 

But I ask you, have you ever

considered that your focus

should be on the GIFT of life

itself?

 

With no gaurentee that any of

us will be alive an hour

from now, you take so much

for granted every single day.

 

Content is temporary.

 

It will not last beyond your

little life or the lives of your

progeny.

 

But your life?

 

Your life, beloved, is eternal.

 

When was the last time

you gave genuine thanks

for the GIFT of your life,

the GIFT of all life?

 

Day after day and year

after year, you allow that

realization to slip through

your fingers like sand

through an hourglass.

 

Here is where the focus

of your attention should be

if you wish for peace

to guide you through

life's unexpected changes

and uncertain times.

 

I have seen the end, beloved,

and you have no legitimate

cause for worry or concern.

 

LOVE conquers all.

 

Not by force, nor by might

but because it is the only

authentic power in the

entire universe.

 

Trust.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Feeling deeply into

this gift of life...

breathing soulfully,

I bow before the great

I Am in gratitude

and trust.

 

Thank you for this GIFT.

 

Amen

​​

***

 11/07/2024

Thought for the Day

Listen carefully, beloved.

 

Never ever allow your psyche

to be highjacked by anyone

or anything, particularly

the media or public opinion.

 

Nothing outside of you

has the power to affect

your inner experience

unless you allow it to.

 

You are a sovereign being.

 

And this is true of every

living thing.

 

The ability to stay in

your own lane, offering

empathy and compassion

are real and substantial

game changers.

Peace is the greatest

of all GIFTS one can give

to this world.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Turning my attention toward

the presence of the truth

within me, I take the love

and the light of I Am

wherever I go and stay

in my own lane.

 

Amen

​​

***

 11/06/2024

Thought for the Day

Never ever forget this 5,000

year old prayer from the Vedas:

 

Whatever is the will of God

is destined to happen.

 

Whatever is not the will of God

is destined to never happen.

 

And between these two opposites,

we are the architects of our own

destiney.

 

I remind you of what I reminded

some of you over 20 years ago.

 

What lies between what is and

what is not?

 

And the answer is, nothing.

 

This is where TRUST comes

into play.

 

We are each always on the soul's

perfect journey.

 

We are loved and all is well.

 

We have every reason to be of

good cheer and trust in this

as part of that perfect ufolding.

 

Stay in your lane today

and be at peace.

 

You are not asked to understand,

and your opinions and fears

help no one.

 

What happened yesteday was

destined to happen and what

will happen today is also

destined to happen.

 

Nothing, absolutely nothing,

can enter + fear with

the will of God.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Putting my hand in the Hand

that stilled the waters,

I trust in the Divine Plan

living us all.

 

Amen

​​

***

 11/05/2024

Thought for the Day

Spirituality is not about

becoming a better or

different version of you,

nor is it about being

better than anyone

else.

 

It is not about changing

anything.

 

It is about bringing harmony

and balance to what is

as it is.

 

Therefore, all practices,

all requirements and rules

have no influence over

your life and who you are.

 

They are relics of the past.

 

Sidestep them all.

 

God's Will will aways be

the dominant will.

 

What makes you or

anyone else believe

they can one-up God?

 

Therefore, God's Will

is what is as it is.

 

And your role is to live

the life that is yours to

live every single day,

knowing that whatever

it is and however it is

is the Will of God and

your goal is to simply

align yourself fully

with all it.

 

This is life lived from

the heart, life lived

from love.

 

And living from the heart,

is the very essence of

trust in God.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Thank you for every bit

of the life that is mine

to live.

 

I surrender to the One Life

that is living me.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

The choice to do nothing,

to remain unplugged

from the Matrix, is where

the peace which passes

all understanding abides

unceasingly.

 

Let's see...

 

Peace in my left hand,

opinions, preferences,

judgments and personal

agendas in the right

hand.

 

To say nothing of the

nonstop emotional 

roller-coaster that goes

with this choice.

 

Be honest.

 

Is the choice a dificult

one to make for anyone

who wants to know

the truth and live a

happy life?

 

Beloved, it is your own direct

experience which reveals

the validity of anything.

 

Put it to the test yourself.

 

What did you discover?

 

Which matters most to you?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

If the peace which passes

all understanding is not

born of this world,

how can anything the world

says or does be anything

other than a distraction

meant to rob me of my peace

by keeping me running

on the hamster wheel of life?

 

Let me treasure my peace

in recognition that it is

not only the natural state,

but the pearl of great price.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

Today is the anniversary of

my birth mother's death.

 

The heart feels so full of

mixed emotions; sadness,

joy, mastalgia, missing her,

wondering if anyone ever

really reflects on where

our loved ones who have

passed away are now?

 

Wondering what an adult

relationship with her

would have looked like...

 

(Note: She passed away

when I was a teenager

of cancer.)

 

So let us today turn our

hearts toward our ancestors,

loved ones and family

members who are no longer

with us in body.

 

And let us rejoice for the

lives that they made possible

for us to live today, sharing

our love and gratitude.

 

Grateful that they forever

remain are a part of us

as we are part of them.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Love, light and blessings

to all beings in all times,

each of us an extension

of the One Mind, One

Heart, LOVE Itself.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

Acting out in anger is

never justified.

 

Does this mean anger

is wrong?

 

Heaven's no!

 

Does it mean that I am

supposed to try to feel

better, to feel something

which is more spiritual?

 

Absolutely not.

 

All feelings are worthy

and necessary.

 

What it does mean

is that when you are

feeling angry, feel

the anger and do not

let this gift from the

Universe go without

some sincere inquiry.

 

Because with a little

openness you will

inevitably see that

somewhere you had

expectations, and

the person(s) or the

situation did not

live up to them.

 

Anger thus becomes

your way to avoid

inner investigation

which would always

reveal two things.

 

First, You are the cause

of your anger because

you are the one who

had the expectations.

 

Secondly, you are feeling

something highly uncom-

fortable and the quickest

way to off load that energy

is to lash out.

 

Wah-lah... You are angry.

 

But this moment is a real

moment of opportunity.

 

Do not let it pass.

 

Because the nature of

the original uncomfortable

feelings, upon investtgation,

will inevitably reveal that

what you really feel

is sad and disappointed.

 

Notice today what happens

to anger when you can

admit you had expectations

which were not met

and you allow yourself to

acknowledge that you

feel sad and disappointed

and you then soften

into this more authentic

experience.

 

How brave!

 

How courageous is the one

who dares to live in this world

with a tender, deeply

vulnerable and open heart

whose self-honesty knows

no bounds!

***

 

Prayer For The Day

So rare so beautiful

so delicate so fragile

yet the most magnificent

thing to bear witness

to in the entire Universe

is the awakened heart.

 

May I ever be that one.

 

Amen

​​

***

 11/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Be on the LOOK OUT

today.

 

What are you most grateful

for?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I am here.

 

I am still breathing.

 

God has seen fit to give

me another day.

 

Let me touch one heart

today and I will have

made a difference

and said thank you

for this GIFT.

 

Amen

 10/31/2024

Thought for the Day

More, better and different

is never more, better

or different.

 

It's a hamster wheel

inside of a prison cell.

 

It will not make you

happy, it will make you

miserable.

 

It is a perpetually

unsustainable way to

try to live your life.

 

What if you knew, beyond

all shadow of doubt,

that your life, such as it is

and such as it is not,

is not only as good as it

gets, but a miracle

beyond compare?

 

I mean let's get real.

 

It's a miracle that you are

even alive today, given some

of the thiings which you

have experienced.

 

How about today

we let go of all the balls

that you have been

juggling, letting them all

fall to the ground

and just live the present

version of your life,

welcomning what is,

noticing how much

there is to be grateful for?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

May my contribution

today to humanity

be that of a peace

not born of this world

and a joy which is

contagious.

 

Amen

***

 10/30/2024

Thought for the Day

If I am loved no matter what

I am experiencing,

why does it matter whether

or not I am peaceful and

love and accept myself

or just do whatever I choose

to do, wild and free?

 

And truth be said,

it does not.


It doesn't matter a hill
of beans.
 

But let me ask you a question:

 

Are you really free when

you live at the mercy

of odds beyond your control,

happy and sad, loss and

gain, fair and not fair

and even life and death?

 

What of life lovingly lived

in a state of changeless peace?

 

As for me, peace is a priceless

treasure that I wish to feel

and embody in this lifetime.

 

A peace which is not of

this world and which is

your natural state.

 

Aside from this, it truly

does not matter what

we do because unconditional

love really and truly means

unconditional.

 

Beloved, you are love.

 

You are peace.

 

And one day you will

wish to abide in this world

as the Self-Sovereign being

you authentically are

because that, beloved,

is your birthright.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

One day at a time,

one heart beat yielding

to the next, may it be

so.

 

Amen

***

 10/29/2024

Thought for the Day

Nothing in this world

can ease, let alone fill

the existential hole

you feel deep within

and grant you peace

other than your own

LOVE.

 

Nothing outside of you

is the answer to anything.

 

And each attempt to make

something outside of you 'it,'

will leave you feeling even

more barren and without

hope.

 

Who's eyes are you looking

through?

 

The eyes of how others see

you, how others want you

to be, or your own?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

May I never forget

that I am the answer

to my deepest yearning.

 

Amen

***

 10/28/2024

Thought for the Day

You are the only authoriity

there is in this whole wide

world on what it means 

to be you.

 

You were perfectly created

to play the role of you.

 

Do you trust yourself?

 

Do you honor yourself

by being true to what is

true for you, willing to let

the chips fall where

they may?

 

You owe it to yourself

to be your favorite

person in the whole wide

world.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I feel so very good about

who I am.

 

Thank you for that GIFT.

 

Amen

***

 10/27/2024

Thought for the Day

Bring your attention to

your breath.

 

Be very very still.

 

Do I have your full

attention?

 

Now. Listen carefully...

 

Be sure you have

your best listening ears

on for this one.

 

Okay?

 

You are not accountable

nor are you responsible for

anything that has ever

happened, is happening

or ever will happen

in the life of anyone

on this planet.

 

So take a deep breath

and drink in the peace

that this statement

is offering you.

 

Because it is entirerly

pristiine and crystal clear.

 

And do remind yourself

of it a million times a day

if you have to.

 

Your family, your religion,

the educational system,

sociiety and the world

are all counting on you

to take the blue pill.

 

To join the herd of the

rest of humanity.

 

But here's the thing,

you don't have to.

 

Be brave.

 

Take the red one.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I give thanks for all of

the peace and clarity

and self-sovereignty

that fill the quiet

moments of my days.

 

Amen

***

 10/26/2024

Thought for the Day

No ego, and what we are

talking about here is

the personal identity,

can help another ego

stop suffering.

 

And let's be very very clear

about this, only the ego

can suffer.

 

There is absolutely nothing

that is under the ego's

personal purview to do

in order to eliminate

another's pain.

 

This means that it is

impossible for anything

tp ever be personal.

 

God is the only Doer

in this world and the Director

of this production we call

life.

 

This gives new meaning to

the maxim to "stay in your

own lane."

 

This is the final illusion

we must all one day face.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

There is such relief

experienced when I

let go and let God.

 

Thank you for the GIFT

of Clear Seeing.

 

Amen

***

 10/25/2024

Thought for the Day

This is a path of inclusion,

not exclusion.

 

Watch yourself carefully

today and notiice how many

times, you turn away,

change the subject, feel

yourself contract, close

yourself off, numb or

distract yourself from

what is.

 

Nothing to change.

 

Nothing to be critical

over with yourself.

 

But see if, rather

than turning away,

you can soften and lean

into what is with soft-

ness and acceptance.

 

You are not asked to like

what is hapening, nor to

actually approve of it.

 

But you are asked to

accept it as part of

your journey in this

life.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me live with

radical inclusion, spacious-

ness and acceptance

today.

 

Amen

***

 10/24/2024

Thought for the Day

This world and all religions

and spirituality operate

on a model which is

based on inherent

imperfection.

 

Look carefully at this today.

 

Look at the world.

 

Look at your fellow

human beings.

 

Then look honestly

at yourself.

 

We have all been brainwashed,

programmed and conditioned

into believing that who we are

and how we are is not enough,

and so we spend our entire

lives chasing after more,

better or different, hoping that

this will appease the self

contempt and inadequacy

that we all feel inside.

 

Precious few are the moments

in which we feel at peace

with who we are and our lives.

 

Are you satisfied with being

a part of that herd?

 

Or does your heart cry to be

told, "Rest. You need do nothing,

You are loved entirely, exactly

as you are. It is time to enjoy

the life that is yours to live,

to see how fascinating and

fulfilling it actually is to be you,

to see that ordinary is truly

extraordinary."

 

You decide because no one

on God's green earth can

do so but you.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Yes. If I am honest with

myself, that is how I was

raiised, that is what was

modeled to me, that is

how I have lived, and

that is the foundation

upon which this world

operates.

 

Give me the courage to

get off of that hamster

wheel and live the sweet

life that is mine to live.

 

Amen

***

 10/23/2024

Thought for the Day

Are you safe?

 

Are you a safe person

for others?

 

Are you a safe person

for yourself?

 

Do you live with

a heart open wide?

 

Do you provide a safe

place for anyone and

everyone to land?

 

Do you live and breath

PEACE?

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Help me slow my roll today,

carefully watching the breath,

as I dare to open this heart

wide to the real me and invite

the light that I am to step

forward and live as me.

 

Amen

***

 10/22/2024

Thought for the Day

Nothing is personal.

 

Nothing is ever personal.

 

Why try to make it so?

 

That's like taking a loaded

pistol and shooting yourself

in the foot and then crying,

"it hurts!"

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Let me not forget that

the only real betrayal

is self-betrayal.

 

Amen

***

 10/21/2024

Thought for the Day

Each and every time

you face something

and relax into it, opening

your heart to it and

admitting that it happened,

without contracting,

defending or making excuses

for yourself, you bring back

a lot of your power.

 

Power which you lost

in the creation of a personal

self, a self you became

in order to feel safe.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I am ready to face

everything,

 

Amen

***

 10/20/2024

Thought for the Day

Every reaction, no matter

how small or how large,

is rooted in the belief

of personhood.

 

Therefore, it cannot be

born of truth.

 

The Self reacts to nothing.

 

How could anything else

matter?

 

Does anything else exist?

 

The wise hold everything

in silence and suspension,

entirely surrendered

before that.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

Let today be a day

of quiet introspection.

 

Lead me from darkness

to light.

 

Amen

***

 10/19/2024

Thought for the Day

First one has to work

on their relationship

with themselves.

 

Most of us were not

trained to have an intimate

and loving relationship

with ourselves.

 

We are not used to

att4ending to and nurturing

ourselves.

 

We then have to get to

the space and place

where we are done with

the personal self.

 

This pseuo-identity

no longer fits.

 

We feel oh-so over it.

 

Born of fear, it is much

too neurotic to identify

with and live as.

 

We are ready to drop it.

 

No one let's go of something

they hate and despise.

 

That relationship

we defend and protect,

believing that our very

lives depend on it.

 

But when we are ready,

fully ready, we gently let

it go.

 

We have no more need

of it.

 

It is to the Infinite we then

return, unhindered

and unbound.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

I consciously choose

the path with heart.

 

Amen

***

 10/18/2024

Thought for the Day

Precious child.....

beyond the right and

wrong of it all lies

the ability to love it all.

 

Is it not time for you

to start to truly live?

 

There are no passes or

fails in life.

 

We are all winners.

 

You have not violated

anythiing, nor has anyone

else.

 

There are only experiences

that you were destined

to have.

 

You....

 

Life...

 

Everything...

 

....is unfolding with

precision and grace

exactly as it should.

 

Therefore, be at peace.

 

You were not called

to understand it, but

you have been called

to accept it , to fully

give your heart to it

one experience at a

time and trust.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

 

Thank you for setting

me free.

 

Amen

***

 10/17/2024

Thought for the Day

Going through it, consciously

experiencing it, (without

judging yourself for it)

is how you complete it.

 

You have to experience

everything in order to be

truly free.

***

 

Prayer For The Day

 

I bow before the experience

of my life.

 

I am gobsmacked by how

liberating it has been,

freeing me of me.

 

Thank you for the GIFT.

 10/16/2024

Thought for the Day

(1) Calm down.

 

(2) Watch your breath.

 

(3) Respond lovingly

It's not rocket science.

Prayer For The Day

 

Humbly and gratefully

I bow before the isness

of my life.

 

Amen

***

 10/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Equillibrium and harmony

are byproducts of flow,

not pushing tiyr way through

the the river of life.

 

Pause when it's time to pause

 

Flow when things start to

move again.

 

Respond to what is in front

of you.

 

Follow the energy.

 

That's all.

 

How is this difficult?

 

Trust.

 

***

 

Prayer For The Day

 

Thank you for the ease

and grace of my life.

 

I trust in its perfection.

 

Amen

***

 10/14/2024

Thought for the Day

 

Which feels natural to you,

filled with peace and ease,

in fact, absolutely effortless?

 

Flowing with life

or pushing the river

in an frustrating effort

to maintain control?

 

***

 

Prayer For The Day

 

I consciously choose 

every single bit of

my life.

 

​...as it is.

 

Amen

***

 10/13/2024

Thought for the Day

Free will is a comforting

delusion that only the ego

believes in and defends.

 

If you are always on

your soul's journey and

no one has the ability

to interfere with or change

this, how could there be

such a thing as free will?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Rest and accept.

 

In all moments and 

throughout all times

I am always standing

in the very center of

tmy perfect destiny.

 

Amen

***

 10/12/2024

Thought for the Day

Meaning is not found in

possessions or titles, how

much money you have, how

many initials ythere are

behind your name, in either

recognition or approval.

 

Nor is it disovered by

how many likes you get

on your social media

posts.

 

Meaning and fulfillment

are byproducts of loving

being you and peacefully

embracing the life that is

yours to live, knowing

in your heart of hearts

that you wouldn't have

it any other way, even if

you could.

 

That your life is a truly

great life, that it fills you

with exuberant joy; which

iis ever expanding and

bubbling over.

Prayer for the Day

I love my life

Thank you for all of it.

 10/11/2024

A mantra is given you

today:

 

I am the only expert

on my life.

 

This isn't a punishment.

 

It's a promotion.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

The formula for life:

 

Soften.

Lean in.

Relax.

Open.

Bow.

Accept.

Return only Love.

 

Trust. Everything is

unfolding exactly

as it should.

 

I cannot mess it up.

 

Amen

 10/10/2024

Thought for the Day

The final realization is

that in the end, the only

person in your life that

you can always count

on is you.

 

There is no one on

this planet that is

more qualified to live

your life and experience it

as you do than you.

 

Anyone else would be

lost in your shoes!

 

Precious child, you are

always enough,

and you were perfectly

created to live the life

that is yours to live.

 

Can you count on you?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me remember

that the fact that I am

experiencing this means

that I am fully capable

 10/09/2024

Thought for the Day

You keep waiting for

something profound

to happen,for some

shift that will inform

you that you are

"done" with this

spiritual thing.

 

But has it ever occurred

to you that it is in

everyone's best interest

for you to not be

complete?

 

The truth is, that you

are already & always

complete.

 

But you will not

recognize this, you will

not actually feel it, until

you are able to stop

trying, to stop looking

for it, and to love and

accept the you that

you are right NOW.

 

Profound, isn't it?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me turn deeply

within and open

my heart completely

to all of me in every

situation or experience

I will have today.

 

Amen

 10/08/2024

Thought for the Day

Each of us,, as inhabiitants of

planet earth, are products

of inconsistency.

 

"I am the parent, you are

the child."

 

"Do as I say, not as I do."

 

"Shut up and be grateful

that you have a job!"

 

"You are a sinner!"

 

Meanwhile the priest

harms little children and

the minister is having

an affair with a teenager

while both are closet

alcoholics.

 

You get the picture.

 

We could each cite thousands

of examples from just

our lifetimes.

 

But here's the thing...

 

Until we turn that boat

around, and start being

consistent and loving with

ourselves, we do not begin

to exeprience the abiding

peace which is our birthright.

 

Who says the apple has to

fall beneath the tree?

 

In the end, aren't you

a self-sovereign individual,

accountable to no one

but your own innermost

being?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me be brave today,

and live by the motto

"To thine own self be true."

 

Amen

***

 10/07/2024

Thought for the Day

In every instance you

have the option (which is

a real opportunity), to turn

within and ask for help.

 

You are NEVER alone.

 

There is ONE who lives

within your heart

who has been waiting

patiently for you to ask.

 

Assistance and comfort

are one earnest thought

away.

 

Is there a reason why

you waiit until life

has you by the short hairs

before you are willing

to consider aligning

yourself with something

other than the noise

between your ears?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me be willing

to be all of it.

***

 10/06/2024

Thought for the Day

What are you going to do?

 

Continue to live as a victim

of your own mind, your

emotions, your body, your

circumstances & situations,

or are you going to take

dominion over your own

inner world and live

as the self-sovereign human

being you were created

to be?

 

For this is the only real choice

you have to make in this life

and no one else has either

the power or the authority

to make it for you.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I can see clearly now that

only self-sovereignty

and self-mastery

are the true roads to peace.

 

An abiding peace which

changes not.

 

This is the proverbial candle

that does not flicker

in the wind.

 

May this be my story,

my life, from here on out.

 

Amen

***

 10/05/2024

Thought for the Day

Peace which is genuine

does not need your protection

nor your defense.

 

It is an inalienable right

because peace is the closest

state which describes

who and what you are

beyond emotions, mind

or body.

 

It is a true power to wield

in this world.

 

Until you can abide in it

tranquilly without needing

to protect or defend it, do so

no matter what, for here

is where you draw

your line in the sand.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

This is my line in the sand

I will not cross.

 

This is the line in the sand

I will no longer allow

anyone or anything else

to cross.

 

Thank you for the PEACE

that I am.

 

Amen

 10/04/2024

Thought for the Day

There is the soul's vesion

of you, and then there

is the ego's version of you.

 

Whose voice do you think

you are listening to

when you suffer?

 

In every instant you have

the right to hit your

pause button and realign

yourself with True North

and welcome peace.

 

Don't willingly give

your power and your glory

over to anyone or anything

for any reason.

 

Remain the custodian of

your own inner kingdom.

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for making

'me' me.

 

Amen

 10/03/2024

Thought for the Day

Here is your usual M.O.

 

You feel discomfort.

 

You are upset.

 

You are angry, frustrated,

things are kareening

out of your control,

things get messier

by the moment, your life,

the lives of others are

chaotic and you do not

know what to do.

 

The thought arises,

"Let me put some distance

between myself and this."

 

That will seem to work.

 

Once the irritants have

been removed from

your life, there will be

an ending to this

discomfort.

 

But you could do it

differently.

 

You could move into

your heart as you stand

in the midst of this

experience and see that

you can embrace whatever

arises and know that

you are okay and

Divine Order is

unfolding in the midst

of it all.

 

Peace and calm

are always available

and you become aware

of a presence.

 

You know that you

are not alone.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for showing

me that being human

can be something

I no longer fear.

 

Power is emerging

from deep within

and showing me

that life is beautiful

no matter what the

experience.

 

real eyes that

I am not alone.

 

​I am never alone.

 

Amen

***

 10/02/2024

Thought for the Day

You think that Divine Order

must mean that things

in your life feel all comfy

and cozy-like.

 

To the contrary, disruption

and chaos are actually

a legitimate part of

the Divine Order of things.

 

You are not asked to like it,

but you are asked to

open your heart to all of it.

 

You are being presented

with a gift that has the potential

and possiblity of opening up

the entire universe for you,

should you choose to allow it

to do so.

 

Therefore give it welcome.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose ALL of the life

which is mine to live

today, and I open

my heart to all of it.

 

Amen

***

 10/01/2024

Thought for the Day

The biggest question

to ask you is, when you

know the truth, why

are you not fully

accepting it?

 

I ask you to reflect on

this question today.

 

Because when you truly

identify the precise point

where you invalidate

yourself, that very point

is also your point of entry

into Infinity.

 

Recognize it.

 

See it for what it is.

 

No one is sabotaging you

but you.

 

What are you going to do

about it?

Prayer for the Day

Freedom or bust.

 

Amen

Courage is the single precursor

to alignment and alignment

a wall?

 09/28/2024

Thought for the Day

So what is disruption?

 

Why is it necessary?

 

Disruption is Grace

in action.

 

Disruption is the UNIVERSE

turning up the volume on

what is not working in

your life, while at the same

time increasing the presence

of the LIGHT so that it is

fully recognizable by you.

 

Turn your attention to

the light.

 

It is revealing the world

you deserve because it is

aligned with your being

as opposed to the world

you have settled for,

ignoring the fact that it is

entirely inauthentic to you.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

My mantra for today:

 

I need not fear this.

I need not resist this.

Let me turn into it

and see what it is showing

me about myself

and my life.

 

Amen

***

 09/27/2024

Thought for the Day

In the end, disruption

will unavoidably occur

in every single aspect

of yuor life that is

inauthentic to you.

 

If you do not wish for

this experience to feel

devastating when it

occurs, use time well now

to start getting honest

with yourseelf about

all the people, places

and things to which

you are attached

and begin to consciously

choose to let them go.

 

Why are you so attached?

 

Look honestly

and reflectively.

 

For this is your precious.

 

And it is also the grenade

in your hand wiith the pin

pulled out which you

will inevitably launch

at the agent which you

believe is the cause of

what you only think

you need is somehow

being threatened or

under attack.

 

Can you see now how

all of this is inauthentic

to you?

 

How else do you think

an ego is formed

in the first place?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Take all of it.

 

Take every single

bit of it until

there is nothing

that stands between

me and Thee.

 

Amen

***

 09/26/2024

Thought for the Day

Disruption and chaos

serve a mighty purpose

iin your life.

 

Always remember that

on some level, you are the one

who brought this into being,

 

Therefore welcome it.

 

What is happening is

furthering your evolution.

 

Allow it to do so.

 

Something is emerging

through this that could

not otherwise do so

without this disruption.

 

And remember that

what is being disrupted

is only the part of you

that was not sustainable.

 

God is your Pole Star in this

pursuit of internal alignment

wiith TRUTH.

 

This experience, precisely

as it is, is how Infinite

Consciousness becomes

actionable.

 

it is creating a beautiful

foundation for every

decision you make.

 

Trust.

 

All is well.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Walking by faith

and not by sight,

the life I was born

to live rises from

the ashes of what

I once knew

and mistakenly

believed was mine.

 

For my tiny little

something, I have been

given everything.

 

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

for the GIFT.

 

For there are no more

edges to my loving.

 

Amen

 09/25/2024

Thought for the Day

Peace is an inalienable right

that belongs to everyone

and everything, without

conditions or qualifications.

 

Of all the things which you

will accomplish in this life

or ever own, it, dear child,

is your most valuable

posession and single greatest

achievement if you make

it yours.

 

What do you value above

all things?

 

Be honest with yourself.

 

For the mind lies and

is a trickster by nature

but your heart never will.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Peace, blessed peace

in every step.

 

Peace in every

inhalation.

 

Peace in every

exhaltion.

 

Peace flowing

from every particle

Peace in my comings

and goings.

 

Peace to all beings

everywhere in

the ten directions

and the three times.

 

May peace prevail

on earth.

 09/24/2024

Thought for the Day

There is a perfection

to everything that unfolds.

 

No exceptions.

 

And there is nothing that is

more powerful than to choose

the life that we are experiencing---

choose every single detail of it,

with childlike trust, peacefully

experiencing ourselves

in the midst of everything,

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Just for today

I will allow myself

to experience everything

as it is whilst recognizing

that the constant is always

my Self.

 

Amen

 09/23/2024

Thought for the Day

Are you a safe person for you?

 

Do the smallest, most fragile

parts of you trust you completely

because they know you will

always give them a safe place

to land, that you will always

have their back, that you will

always be loving, kind, gentle

and compassionate with all of

yourself no matter what?

 

Because if you truly do have you,

not only will you never need

anyone else ever again, but you will

never ever feel fear either

because you recognize your

own completion.

 

This is the pinnacle of fulfilment

of a precious human life.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I thank you thank you

thank you for the life

that has been my

great good fortune

to live.

 

Amen

***

 09/22/2024

Thought for the Day

The biggest of all addictions

is the one you have to

the present moment.

 

Virtually all of humanity

suffers from this addiction.

 

Be willing to honestly look

at all you do in order to avoid

being deeply present to

the here and now.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Grace shed your light

upon me as I soften

and relax into the

here and now.

 

Amen

***

 09/21/2024

Thought for the Day

The greatest contribution

that you can make

to this planet and her

inhabitants is not by

greater volunteerism,

nor by taking up a

particular cause or

supporting any

political agenda.

 

The single greatest way

that you can be the solution

is by genuinely learning

to love yourself ever more

deeply and sharing that love

with your world.

 

You were born to live

as love and love will

define and refine your way

if you invite it to..

***

 

Prayer for the Day

LOVE live me.

 

Amen

***

 09/20/2024

Thought for the Day

Where do you feel is the best

place to put the focus

of your attention?

 

Is it on what is happening

in our world today?

 

Or is it a reminder to seize

the opportunity to

represent the love that

that I am, that we all are?

 

Do you wish to join

the fear mongering

which is so rappent,

or will you real eyes that

only LOVE can turn

the tide?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I am done with being

a sheeple, just following

the flock and taking sides.

 

No more "Point me in

the right direction, the

direction that you want

me to go."

 

Let me recognize that

it is my relationship with

myself that the world

is waiting for to set it

free.

 

Amen

***

 09/19/2024

Thought for the Day

There is nothing that

you have ever experienced

or ever could experience

that you cannot go

through peacefully,

lovingly and in a state

of presence if that

is what you choose to do.

 

And this you will do

if you remain consciously

aligned with the Immortal,

Immutable Eternal Self.

 

Remember the soul

came here to help evolve

the human experience,

not the other way

around.

 

You have no control over

what happens to you

in your life, for that is

the soul's journey unfolding.

 

But you have total control

over how and who goes

through it.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose my life, the life

which has been given

me to live.

 

All of it, exactly as it is.

 

And I choose to live it

consciously with my eyes

and arms wide open

and a heart which is

as big as the world.

 

I need not understand it.

 

In fact, my understanding

is irrelevant.

 

I am simply asked

to soften and lean into 

it, knowing that I am

loved, supported fully

and the only one 

who is the perfect one

to be living it.

 

Amen

***

 09/18/2024

Thought for the Day

The only thing you have

ever lost, the only thing

that you can ever lose,

is the illusion of your

self; the things of this

world with which

you have become identified.

 

There is nothing

in this life to either lose,

reject or gain that is real.

 

Where is your trust?

 

Remember:

 

This is the soul's journey.

 

There is a perfection

to what is happening

that you begin to grasp

if you allow yourself

to hush long enough

to see it,

 

For God is always

in charge.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

My mantra for today

is this:

 

I have every reason

to be still and trust.

 

I am the Immortal,

Immutable, Eternal

Self and nothing

can ever change That.

 

This is the end of

suffering.

 

Amen

***

 09/17/2024

Thought for the Day

The heart does not

discriminate.

 

Ever.

 

Guess what part

of you does?

 

LOVE is LOVE, my dear.

 

And it gives itself freely

and liberally without

expectations, opinions,

positionalities or conditions

of any kind to everyone

and everything.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Let me not forget

that LOVE loves

with an open hand

and a boundless

heart.

 

Amen

***

 09/16/2024

Thought for the Day

Never ever forget that

we are all always on

our soul's journey and

could not be or respond

in any way other than

how we do and are.

 

How could the Infinite

remain Infinite if you

or anyone else for that

matter, had the ability

to override or circumvent

the soul's plan?

 

And what happens to upset

when you remember

this truth?

 

Do you not put down

your weapons,

your beliefs,your judgments,

and relax and smile?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

All days are beautiful

days when I remember

to trust that all is

always well because

my soul's got this

and I'm just along

for the ride.

 

Amen

***

 09/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Whenever you feel

uncertainty today, when

you feel bored or lonely,

discouraged or upset

for any reason and

you don't know what

to do, hit your pause

button and ask yourself,

 

"What is the most loving

and supportive thing

I can do for myself

right now?"

 

This is a noble practice

for any time and any day.

 

And if you remember

to ask yourself the question

just one time, you will be

shown what real happiness

looks like and feels like.

And no one can argue

with results.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I am the only one

on my to-do list

for today and

I choose to really 'be'

with me.

 

Amen

***

 09/14/2024

Thought for the Day

Beloved, I have a question

for you to reflect upon

today.

 

You are used to showing up

for everyone else in your life,

but when was the last time

that you actually showed up

for yourself?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me live from

my heart today

amd do things that

reflect my tender

loving care for myself.

 

Amen

***

 09/13/2024

Thought for the Day

Beloved, listen carefully.

 

There is absolutely nothing

that you have to do

in order to be loved.

 

And if the people in your life

expect anything from you

in order for you to receive

their love, then they

don't really love you.

 

What they have to offer

you will never be enough.

 

They cannot really love you

because they do not love

themselves.

 

But you, dear one,

innately have value

and are loved infinitely.

 

And someone who

truly loved themselves

would not put up with

any conditions which

were placed upon them

in order to prove their

value.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes

that I have nothing

to prove to anyone

and steer clear of

anyone who places

expectations on their

acceptance, approval

or care.

 

Amen

***

 09/12/2024

Thought for the Day

How will you receive the life

that is yours to live today?

 

Will it be peaceful?

 

Or will it be toxic

and stress-filled?

 

Remember, this is

the only aspect of your life

in which you have

total control.

 

And just what that looks like

and feels like happens to be

your contribution to

humankind.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose a conscious life.

 

Amen

***

 09/11/2024

Thought for the Day

Let today be a day of

quiet remembrance

where we hold all whom

we have loved and do so

now closely in the light

of love.

 

And let that light spread

until it covers the earth

and holds everything,

including our dear planet

in its shining embrace,

gifting all with its

grace and benevolent

blessing.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May all who have ever

walked this earth

be blessed.

 

May peace prevail

on earth.

 

Amen

***

 09/10/2024

Thought for the Day

How hard is it to hit

your pause button

long eno0ugh to ask

yourself, "Does this

feel like freedom,

or do I catch the

unmistakable stench

of bondage and control?"

 

Is this the most peaceful

option available to me

right now or is it not?"

 

Sometimes the bravest

thing to do is to simply

say "no" and walk away.

 

When it comes right down

to it, life isn't so damn

difficult unless, of course,

it is your wish to make it

seem complicated.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me live a simple,

peaceful life this day,

a life which is unmarred

by my attempts to

complicate it.

 

Amen

***

 09/09/2024

Thought for the Day

You are not broken.

 

You have not missed out

on anything ever

that was meant for you.

 

Nor have you ever

taken a wrong turn.

 

You deserve someone

to blow up each and

every myth and lie

this planet has brain-

washed you into

believing was true

so that you could be

told that nothing

can ever be withheld

from you, that you

have access to everything

in every moment,

including God, that you

are perfectly loveable

and completely loved.

 

Most importantly,

you deserve your own

loving acceptance

because the you that

you are is completely

worthy and a priceless

treasure.

 

You are not a problem.

 

You are the solution

and you were born

that way.

 

Truth is not nor could

it ever be elitist.

 

It belongs to all of us

equally.

 

Always has.

 

Always will.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Please help me see

my own magnificence.

 

Amen

***

 09/08/2024

Thought for the Day

A very common mis-

understanding has

to do with interpersonal

conflict, particularly

with those with whom

you cohabitate.

 

#1

 

The number one rule

is that it never has anything

to do with the other

person or persons,

unless you are being

physically abused.

 

In which case,

get out of dodge

as quickly as you can.

 

#2

 

In all other cases,

listen carefully.

 

It has everything

to do with the feelings

the interaction evokes

within you.

 

#3

 

Stay on your side of

the street.

 

#4

 

Take a time out and

give yourself ample space

to feel your feelings fully,

offering loving support

to yourself.

 

Feeling feelings cannot

harm you, but not feeling

them is why our world

is as it is.

 

#5

 

Now you are ready

to have a sane conversation

with the party or party(s)

involved.

 

Remember, you are not

here to win someone over.

 

Tje is not about

you being right,

 

The solution is always to

ask yourself quietly and

calmly, "What is the most

peaceful option available

to me right now?

 

#6

 

Only this could be said

to be conflict resolution.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

How simple would

life be if everyone

practiced this sincerely

for just one day?

 

Guide and support me

as I commit myself

to wholeheartedly

trying.

 

Amen

***

 09/07/2024

Thought for the Day

No amount of effort

directed toward fixing

ourselves or changing

our lives will ever

be truly successful

or lead us to peace.

 

But cultivating an

unconditionally loving

relationship with ourselves

sets us forever free.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose me

and I choose the life

that is mine to live

exactly as it is.

 

Amen

***

 09/06/2024

Thought for the Day

The most common

misunderstanding

about our human journey 

is that of the meaning of life

and it is pretty much

universal.

 

The misunderstanding

revolves around the idea

of evolution.

 

People are generally unhappy

with themselves and their

lives and so they set about

trying to change---

 to improve themselves

and their lives.

 

When this never works

to anyone's satisfaction,

it compounds feelings

of guilt, unworthiness

and abusive self-talk:

Verbally flog yourself. 

Do better. Try harder...

 

But we are not here to

evolve our humanity,

we are here to evolve

our relationship with

our humanity.

 

When we can genuinely

love ourselves, cease

judging and trying to

change who we are,

our experience of ourselves

shifts from the personal

to the universal, and we

are filled to overflowing

with genuine peace

and a love that knows

no bounds.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the peace,

the love and joy

the genuinely fills

this heart.

 

Amen

***

 09/05/2024

Thought for the Day

The reason that people

cannot love you the way

you are, is because

they cannot love

themselves as they are

and so they project their

perceived incompletions,

expectations and misery

onto you.

But who says you have to

receive it or try to 

change yourself for them?

Huh?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May everyone be happy.

 

May everyone be free

of misery.

 

May no one ever be

separated from their

happiness.

 

May everyone take delight

in themselves and be

at peace with who

and how they are, loving

themselves completely.

 

Amen

***

 09/04/2024

Thought for the Day

No matter how hard you try

to change yourself, to somehow

be different than you are,

you are still only and always

going to be you.

 

You have not managed

to change yourself.

nor can you.

No one can.

We are who and as 

we are.

 

What has changed is

your relationship with

yourself.

This is our real work

on this planet.

 

And when you can love

all of yourself exactly

as you are, you will

at last be at HOME.

For you will embody

a peace which passes

all understanding

and know a happiness

which knows no bounds.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I am grateful for

being me.

 

Amen

***

 09/03/2024

Thought for the Day

The purpose of everything

that happens in your life

is to move you closer

and closer to your heart.

 

If you real eyes this,

you can cooperate

with your life, rather

than be at odds with it,

 

Life is on your side,

my dear...

 

It always has been.

 

It always will be.

Life wants you to succeed

in every way possible

so trust it.

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the GIFT

of my life.

 09/02/2024

Thought for the Day

Be at peace with all of

the life that you have

lived.

 

You have always been

on your soul's journey

and it cannot be otherwise.

 

It is impossible to take

a misstep, wrong turn, or

miss out on anything.

 

Had any one of

your eperienees been

missing, you would not

be who you are today.

 

Have faith in the life

that you have lived

and trust the path

which is yet to be

revealed.

 

All is always well.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the life

I call mine,

 

Amen

 09/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Speak to your soul.

 

Have conversations

with it.

 

Share how you feel.

 

Ask it questions.

 

Allow it to lead you

in the path of your

best life.

The benefits are out of

this world.

 

It isn't difficult to live

a life that is so bright

that you have to wear

shades.

 

After all, the only part

of you that is eternal

is your soul.

Help me remember today

that my life can be sweet,

simple, loving and kind

Thought for the Day

What is the most peaceful

choice available to me

right now?

 

What feels genuinely

authentic to me?

 

Am I sovereign to no one

and no thing but me?

 

How can I best attend to,

support and love myself

right now?

walk in the space before

you today, guiding

and directing you

your highest possible

destiny.

Prayer for the Day

Dearest soul:

 

I thank you for the path

Amen

***

 08/30/2024

Thought for the Day

You incarnated at this time

in human history in order 

to usher in a new way

of what it means to be

human, and the greatest

of all enemies to

that attainment is

group think and

conformity.

 

What does being human

mean to you?

 

Reflect on this question

today and have the guts

to live your life your

way and play full out.

 

Not your spouse

or partner's way.

 

Not your family's way.

 

Not your children or

grandchildren's way,

nor your friends or

personal posse's way

or what you believe

your religion dictates

or the world expects

of you.

 

You were born to live

your best life, not someone

else's idea of that.

 

And you are the only one

who will ever know 

just what that means.

 

Can you do that

just for today and see

how that feels?

 

Do you possess

the courage to try it on

and see how it works

out for you?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Let me reflect today

on how I want to be

remembered after

my days here are earth

are complete,

 

And help me brave,

allowing that legacy

to walk in the space

before me, informing

and defining how

I choose to be this day

and every day from

here on out.

 

What else could

authenticity and

freedom mean other

than being entirely 

true to what it actually

means to be me?

 

Amen

***

 08/29/2024

Thought for the Day

The only truth there is

in this world is found

within yourself.

 

Time to surrender

the need to look outside

for what you hope

will fill the emptiness

and fear you feel inside.

 

Why?

 

Because peace, like

happiness and fulfillment

is an inside job.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Guide me, soul, 

as I strive today

to be a loving friend

to myself.

 

Amen

***

 08/28/2024

Thought for the Day

The most exhilerating freedom

swept into my life

the moment I finally accepted

the fact that I was never

going to be good enough

for anyone else, no matter

how much I yearned to be.

 

On that day I also decided

that it was wonderful

being me, that I am

always good enough

for myself and for God

and that was the moment

that a palpable happiness

entered my life, a happiness

nothing could interfere with

ever again..

 

I found that genuinely

being myself became

the most precious

gift I could give myself

or the world.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Let the focus today

be on that of

loving myself

and genuinely

being me,

 

Amen

 08/27/2024

Thought for the Day

Never never never

question your value.

 

If the people in your life

are not seeing you

(which means they are

not seeing themselves),

it's time for you to

move on.

 

You are Infinitely capable

amd Infinitely valuable.

 

You do not need to

fit in and belong

anywhere where you

are not completely loved

exactly as you are.

Let me not forget that

I am Infinite Love

Infinite Light

Infinite Presence

It will pass like gas.

 

Amen

***

 08/25/2024

Thought for the Day

Live your best life

instead of spending

the rest of your days

living in someone

else's shadow.

 

For our time here

on earth is fleeting

at best, and you

cannot afford to leave

this world feeling like

you were the driving

force behind someone

else aataining their

dreams but never

pursued your own.

Prayer for the Day

God grant me the courage

to seize the reigns

of my own life

 08/24/2024

Thought for the Day

No one is better than

anyone else.

 

And no one is worse either.

expressions of Universal

Consciousness or God.

 

Everyone is your equal,

the exact same as you.

 

NEVER forget that.

Prayer for the Day

Come home to my heart,

You are loved and cherished

Amen

 08/23/2024

Thought for the Day

There is no such thing as

anything that is separate.

 

There is only the ONE

without a second,

all a manifestation of LOVE.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me remain

tethered to my breath

and my heart today

and every day.

 

Amen

***

 08/22/2024

Thought for the Day

Your outer reality can

never be as important

as your inner one.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me unplug from all

external sources upon which

I have depended and plug

into my own heart,

my sanctum sanctorum.

 

Amen

***

 08/21/2024

Thought for the Day

Be dependent on no one

and no thing for anything.

 

Dependency to any degree

on anyone or anything

keeps you in victim

consciousness and

undermines authenticity.

 

Surely yu can see this

upon reflection.

 

In the tabernacle

of the heart you have access

to everything.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me see clearly

that I am the only one

who has the capacity

to meet me and love

and support me

like I can.

 

Amen

***

 08/20/2024

Thought for the Day

What you have to understand

and fully accept, meaning

feeling the truthfulnes of it,

that no person, no achieve-

ment, no acknowledgment

nor financial or material

level of security or gain

that will ever be enough

to give you either peace

or a sense of safety and

security.

 

Eventually everything

outside of yourself

has to fail to live up to

your expectations,

hopes and dreams.

 

You are what you have

always been looking for...

and that answer comes

from your own heart

and nowhere else.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Guide me to my own

precious heart.

 

I'm done with looking

outside, done with

looking for happiness

where it does not abide. 

 

Amen

***

 08/19/2024

Thought for the Day

Peace is always available,

although it is usually

the most ignored choice

and the last of all options

sought.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose peace.

 

I no longer have the energy

to tilt at windmills,

making much ado about

nothing.

 

May the question, "What

is the most peaceful choice

available to me right now?"

be the one question

I consistently remember

to ask when faced with

any decision today.

 

Amen

***

 08/18/2024

Thought for the Day

Who or what

are you still selling

yourself out to?

 

This is an vital question

to contemplate today

as you go about the business

of living your life.

 

Who's voice, who's opinions,

who's advise and who's approval

mean more to you than

your own?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me see clearly today

where I am still selling

myself short, still needing

someone else's input

other than that of my own

heart and innermost being.

 

Amen

***

 08/17/2024

Thought for the Day

Being fully and deeply

attuned to oneself

is a full time job, requiring

the utmost tenderness, care

and attentiveness 24/7.

 

Who has time to be

minding someone else's

business, to be disgruntled,

feeling smug and better than,

when you have been given

the noblest of all tasks,

that of being completely

aligned and attuned

to your own heart,

ever true and in love with

the inner magnificence of

your own beautiful soul?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for showing me

the way which is true

for me.

 

Thank you soul

for calling me home

to Thee.

 

Amen

***

 08/16/2024

Thought for the Day

I have discovered, after

over seven decades

on this planet, and after

having achieved countless 

goals, dreams and plans,

only to discover that each

left me feeling hollow

and empty inside,ever

yearning for something

different or more, that

the pearl of great price

I had always been

searching for was

myself.

 

When you can live every

moment of your life attuned

to your own soul, then

and only then can it be said

you have discovered

the true meaning of life,

your raison d'être.

 

For here is the only frontier

that matters.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me walk quietly

amidst the noise and haste

of this world, being ever

true and faithful

to my innermost being,

or soul.

 

Amen

***

 08/15/2024

Thought for the Day

No one is responsible

for your inner experience

of life but you.

 

Can you not see that if

it was possible for anyone

other than you to be

responsible for your experience,

you would be sentenced

to the role of victim for life

and your freedom

would no longer rest in

your own hands?

 

You would have to wait upon

the whims of someone else

to show you mercy

and set you free.

 

How often can one count

on that?

 

This is what personal

empowerment means.

 

No one can hold you captive

and no one can set you free

but you. 

 

And that, my dear,

is a truly beautiful

and liberating thing.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the limitless

power which is my birthright.

 

Amen

***

 08/14/2024

Thought for the Day

You can be entirely free

of misery and suffering

if you want to be.

 

The ball is in your court.

 

The ball has always been

in your court and it

always will be.

 

Do you even want to be

free?

 

Be honest with yourself.

 

Becauswe asking yourself

this question and answering it

honestly is where

we have to begin.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Hear me, Universe, God

or whatever powers may be.

 

Hear my most earnest

and heartfelt cry...

 

I - want - to - be - free!

 

Amen

***

 08/13/2024

Thought for the Day


You have no control over
what will happen
in your life today, but
you have total control
over how you will
experience it.

Never forget that.

For herein lies your true
freedom and power.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


May I never forget that peace
is the foundational experience
of taking total responsibility
and accountability for my
inner experience of life.

Amen

***

 08/12/2024

Thought for the Day


You are 100% accountable
and responsible for all
of the discomfort which
you experience.

There is always a softer
and gentler way available.

When you feel uncomfortable,
it matters not the reason,
the solution is to turn inward,
to soften and open your
entire being to the experience,
meeting yourself with
gentleness and love.

In that moment, suffering
ends.

It does not simply begin
to dissipate, it disappears
entirely.

So it is not so much a matter
of the feelings that are
the cause of your suffering
as it is the resistance
to them.

Understanding this
is what is referred to as
spiritual maturity.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


In every moment today,
and in every experience
each moment holds,
let me not forget
that I am responsible
for every experience
I have and open
my heart to all of it,
no matter what it is.

Am I the dissonance?

Or am I the one who
can be kind and present
​to it?

This is what it means
to be entirely free,
to be the love that I am
and to live from it.

Amen

***

 08/11/2024

Thought for the Day


When you are at long last
able to be with all of yourself
without judging anything
about how you are, without
trying to change yourself
or wish you were different,
when you can remain
peacefully with all of you,
seeing every part of you
as lovable and worthy,
you will no longer have
a problem with anyone else
either, nor will you be
disturbed by what is
happening in the world.

What have you yet to love
and accept about yourself?

Be willing to explore this
question today.

And remember this:

The world is more than happy
to mirror for you what
you do not like about yourself.

You do more to help this world
by remaining peacefully
and lovingly aligned within,
than you do by joining
in the cacophony of chaos
which this world generates
on a daily basis.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


Help me remain anchored
to True North today,
rather than participate
in the noise and haste
in which this world abides.

Amen

***

 08/10/2024

Thought for the Day


Each and every day
as well as each
and every moment
which each day holds,
you are the single
playable character
in the game you play
which you think of as
your life.

This is all that has ever
been happening.

And you are the only
determining factor
as to whether the game
you play is happy
or miserable, beatific
or the stuff of nightmares.

So play consciously.

Play mindfully.

Play wisely.

Because all you ever
have to do is look at
the nature of your
experience to see
just what you have been
up to.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


May I humbly walk this
world leaving no imprint,
save the indelible mark
of one who has loved
trully and deeply
with all her heart.

Amen

***

 08/09/2024

Thought for the Day


Never never never
give up on you.

No relationship, no alliance,
no attainment or compromise,
no validation or approval
is worth you forsaking
yourself; nothing is worth
sacrificing or limiting
your authentic expression,
nor what is precious
and true for you.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Grant me the courage
to always follow
my heart, being ever
faithful and true to
its instruction and guid-
ance no matter what.

Amen

***

 08/08/2024

Thought for the Day

There is absolutely nothing
on this planet that is
more important to me
than empowering you
fully in yourself.

You are a sovereign being
and no one has the right
to try to tell you
what is right
for you.

Nor can they tell you
how to be you or do you.

Only you have the ability
to follow your own heart.

And anyone who tries
to tell youhow you should be
living or what you should do
can stick it where
the sun don't shine.

Got that?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes
that the only thing
the world needs from me
is my willingness
to authentically be myself;
my willingness to
share that GIFT with
my world.

Amen

***

 08/07/2024

Thought for the Day


FREEDOM is the radical
and revolutionary GIFT
of no longer needing
anyone's love and approval,
appreciation or validation
ever again.

How is this possible, you ask?

Because you are your own
completion.

You are already and always
whole.

Nothing can add to that
wholeness, which is
a constant and changeless
experience.

Nothing can ever subract
from it either.

What could possibly
influence your magnificance?

No one and no thing
can ever ruffle the feathers
of someone who embodies
all of that.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


Grant me the courage
to never ever
give up on me.

​For I am worth it.

Amen

***

 08/06/2024

Thought for the Day


Who gave you that internal
compass that tells you
something is right or wrong,
that you are right
or you are wrong?

What if nothing was right?

And what if everything was right?

Oh...here's a good one...

What if nothing is ever
truly wrong?


Who made up these rules,
who decided this is good
and that is bad, anyway?

What if, passed down
one generation to the next,
we have all been fed a lot
of lies in order to control us,
hoodwinked into believing
things that really do not
really help humanity evolve?

Beliefs that, to the contrary,
keep us separate from one
another, judging,others,
hating and afraid?

But what if we came here
to have experiences
and that is all each of us
have been up to since the day
we were born?

Who says that some
are right?

And who has the power
to tell you that some
are wrong?

What if they are all okay,
all legitimate experiences?

And what if, just for today,
you gave yourself complete
permission to have whatever
experience you are having
and to hell with what
anyone else has to say
about it?

What if we were to choose
to simply and humbly
love and support ourselves
in the midst of every
experience?

What if I was to accept
the fact that I have a lot of
hand-me-down beliefs
and just because I have
been brainwashed into
believing them to be true
does not in fact make
any of them actually true?

Well, that has the potential
of being a banner day,
don't you think?

And what if I were to give
the entire world a day off
and stopped snubbing my
nose at others, just giving
all of us permission to be
ourselves with no thought
of recrimination or
retribution of any kind?

Now that's an idea that
has the potential to
set the world ablaze.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


Let me sincerely and
lovingly try this practice
and just be willing to see
what happens when I do.

I am a results oriented
kind of person.

Today I will let
the results speak
for themselves.

Amen

***

 08/05/2024

Thought for the Day


Here is the simplest of all
truths...

Your life is only as peaceful,
wonderful, fulfilling,
gentle and kind as you
will allow it to be.

Nobody is capable of
loving you more than
they love themselves.

And you are not capable
of loving anyone else more
than you love yourself.

Your world is as you are.

It will always be a perfect
reflection of how you
experience yourself.

If you loathe yourself,
if you pick at yourself
and judge everything you
feel, think, say or do,
this is the world which will be
unceasingly mirrored
back to you.

A world that validates
your unworthiness, no
matter what you do
or how hard you try.

And if you love yourself,
the world cannot help
but show you loving-
kindness in return.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


It's absolutely positively
wonderful to be me.

Just sayin'...

I am pretty darn wonderful,
and I do not need anyone
or anything to validate
this for me.

I am my own completion.

Nothing can add to this
life I call mine, and nothing
can subtract from it.

And I wouldn't have it
any other way.

Thank you for the GIFT.

Amen

***

 08/04/2024

Thought for the Day


True awakening or liberation
is not about never losing
the thread of acceptance
ever again, it is about
having the courage
to get back up again
each time and every time
you see what you have
been up to.

It is about recognizing that
every feeling, every thought,
every sensation, every situation
or circumstance that
you find yourself in is all
a part of the soul's journey;
that there is nothing wrong,
that there could be nothing
wrong, ever.

This is what it means
to see clearly.

This is what it means to
truly trust the life which
is yours to live.

This is the path of the heart;
genuine, loving acceptance
of the journey which has been
specifically engineered
for you by God.

For yours is the noble work
of bringing light to your world,
one very human experience
at a time.

***

 

Prayer for the Day


How wonderful would life be
if just for one day
I could accept and trust
my journey that much?

Grace shine upon me
for I choose the life
which is mine to live.

Amen

***

 08/03/2024

Thought for the Day


What could be more validating,
more life affirming, than to
respect & cherish the face
you see shining back at you
in the mirror each and every
day?

Whose love, acceptance
and respect coule mean
more to you than that?

No one will ever be able
to love and approve of you
more than they love
and approve of themselves.

What they think about you
is never about you.

It is a rather telling revelation
of how they feel about
themselves on the deepest
of levels and what
they have not accepted
nor embraced within.

This is a very high realization
that frees you of the need
to care so much about
other people's opinions
of you.

It is also a reminder that
this is a realization that
applies to you too.

For you cannot love anyone
or anything more than you love
yourself.

Thus, your reactions
are always a call for you
to look deeply into
what you have not yet
loved and embraced
about yourself.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

To hell with the peanut
gallery, you got that?

I have wasted so much
life force assigning value
to the steady stream of
caca betwwen my own
two ears.

Come what may, it is
to myself I shall be true
to my very last breath,
ever loving the one
I am with which is
always myself.

And since everyone
and everything is
a perfect reflection
of me, I got a whole
of loving to catch up
on from here on out.

Amen

***

 08/02/2024

Thought for the Day


What is it that keeps you
trapped in a life which
is not genuinely and
authentically your own?

Is it worth it?

Can you ever hope to be
happy when everything
you feel, everything you
think, everything you say
and everything you do
has been and is for
someone other than
yourself?

You have been running away
from you, my dear,
and you know it.

Whose approval do you
actually need other than
your own?

Is getting along worth
the self-betrayal in which
you have to engage
in order to have it?

Is fitting in and belonging
or having someone
to take care of you
and provide security
worth the price you
have to pay in order
to have it?

The so-called peace
which is a byproduct of
Out of sight, out of mind
is not true peace.

Do you really think that
you can achieve
what you say you want
when what you have done
is sought to escape
the very life God placed
you in?

Yes. You were supposed
to make this choice.

But you were also supposed
to make course corrections
once you clearly saw what
you have done.

You know this.

Every day your heart speaks
these words of wisdom
to you.

Wouldn't you like to get
to know who you are
through the lens of love,
rather than the pain body
of a world that knows not
who they are?

Because numbing, dulling
and distracting
is not proof of anything
other than that
the old familiar m.o.
of running away from
yourself has struck
once again.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I am ready to get to know
the "I" that I truly am.

My life is the perfect guru.

Help me feel deeply
into that, bringing presence
to every present moment
experience.

Amen

***

 08/01/2024

Thought for the Day


Who are you?

If you take away the past,
and you take away the
narrative or storyline,
if you take away the pro-
gramming and the condi-
tioning, if you take away
all the expectations you
have placed upon
yourself and others
have placed upon you,
as well as what others
need from you,
what is left?

What is the pure
and unadulterated you?

Is there anything at all leftover
that can be said to be
genuinely you?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Sometimes there is such
a profound moment of
clarity where it is clearly
seen that there is no thing
which can be said to be
me afterall.

And in those blessed
moments of realization
there is so much peace,
peace when I am free
of everything that once
kept me in chains
to everyone
and everything.

Grant me the grace
to live my life
in such freedom.

For I would know that true "I"
which created all that is.

And until then,
I am content to be
this pair of eyes
moving through time
and space, the silent
witness to everything.

Amen

***

 07/31/2024

Thought for the Day

Your life is so wrapped up in
rules and expectations, what you
think others need or demand
or you, your own puffed up
sense of what the ego's advise
legitimately has to offer
(aka spiritual arrogance)
or what you think of as
your duly.

But truth be told, the only one
you owe anything is yourself.

And that is a debt of LOVE,
my dear, not an obligation.

Nothing more than that.

Have you ever done anything
in your entire life
that was entirely for you?

That you know that you know
that you know is not born of
any one else's demands
​or vain imaginings?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

​Just one day...

One single day wherein
I listen deeply to my own heart
with total attentiveness.

For I would know that
I am following
my own path of redemption,
and not someone else's
rules and expectations.

To Thine Own Self Be True
to the very end, please.

For I know that
this is the only path
the soul wishes for me.

Amen

***

 07/30/2024

Thought for the Day

Pssst... Yes, you.

I'm talking to you, my dear.

Every single part of you
is beautiful exactly as
you are.

I don't have a problem
with any part of you
whatsoever.

Anyone who does have
a problem with you
does so because
they have a problem
with themselves.

And you choosing to
stick around fans the flame
of their inexcusable
behavior.

Time to walk away.

You don't need their
self-doubt, self-judgment,
mean-spiritedness
and put-downs.

Unless, of course,
you actually enjoy being
a pawn in their twisted
game of cruelty
and perversion.

You play martyr

and whipping post

to no one.

Got that?

***

 

Prayer for the Day


The unspoken mantra
for today is simply this:

"I believe this is yours."

Then quietly side-step it
and walk away.

God grant me the courage
to recognize who is
the rightful owner, returning
it to where it truly belongs,

Amen

***

 07/29/2024

Thought for the Day

The parts of you that

you struggle most with,

the parts of you that

you have struggled

to embrace with love

are nemesis to you

because someone told you,

and did so repeatedly,

they were wrong, that they

needed to change, to 

be different.

 

They did not show you

that they, too, were

utterly and completely

worthy of your loving

embrace, exactly as they are,

and by thus return them

to light.

 

Judgment is not inherent

to your nature, dear one.

 

It's a hand-me-down from

people who could not

love themselves and so

what did they do?

 

They projected their

perceived limitations

onto you and you 

accepted this burden,

believing it was true.

 

But it's a lie, beloved.

 

Every disenfranchised

part of you deserves

your recognition

and loving acceptance.

 

Welcome everything home

today,  welcome everything

home.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

The time has come

for me to begin to love

all the parts of me

that I have been

programmed to reject.

 

Help me remember

to hit my pause button

today each and every time

I catch myself being

anything other than

loving and gentle

with me.

 

Amen

***

 07/28/2024

Thought for the Day

Who are you?

 

Why are you here?

 

What is the meaning

of life?

 

You came here to love

all the parts of you

that you have been

programmed and

conditioned by

your world to reject.

 

Pure and simple,

you came here

in order to cultivate

an unconditional

relationship

with all of you.

 

Not as you wish you were.

 

Not as others want you

to be.

 

But as you are, beloved.

 

How do you think that

your day would go

if just for today

you chose to

love yourself

unconditionally

no matter how

you happen to

show up?

 

The final realization

is that no way that

you are or could

ever possibly be

disqualifies you from

receiving your own

loving-kindness

and acceptance.

 

You did not come here

to change yourself, 

bo somehow be more,

better or different.

 

You came here to learn

to love and accept all

of you as you are,

and that is the work of

a lifetime.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

If to teach means to

demonstrate, then let

my life be a demonstration

of loving all of myself

exactly as I am.

 

And help me be patient

with myself, realizing

that I will never be done

with the work of loving

me.

 

Amen

***

 07/27/2024

Thought for the Day

You are always, at all times

and in all ways, fundamentally

perfect.

 

You could not be anymore

perfect than you are, right now

as you are, beloved.

 

There is no one in the entire

universe who can do you

and be you with the same

perfection and flare that

you bring to life each

and every moment.

 

You are the perfect you.

 

And you came here in order

to learn to love every single

part of yourself exactly

as you are.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes that

my real work in this life

is to learn to be

unconditionally loving

to each and every

part of myself, welcoming

it back to light, welcoming

it back to the arms

of love.

 

I am always worthy

of all my tenderness

exactly as I am.

 

Amen

***

 07/26/2024

Thought for the Day

Is something not flowing

in the way that you think

it should?

 

Are you finding yourself

being reactive and then

judging yourself for it?

 

Perhaps it is time to consider

that since we are always

on the soul's journey,

that this reaction, precisely as

you are experiencing it,

is a part of the perfection,

and acceptance and trust

are the keys to your peace.

 

This is how you create separation:

 

By failing to include yourself

as you are as part of

the ever unfolding perfection

that is and always is.

 

There is nothing wrong with you,

beloved.

 

Every response, every reaction

is perfect, as the Grand Designer

of ALL designed.

 

There is no problem with

anyone or anything else

for that matter as well.

 

How can there be if God

is the ONE in charge?

 

Not one particle of anything

needs to be different

than it is.

 

And this is the how and the why

acceptance, radical unequivocal

acceptance, is the key that

unlocks the door to everything.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes that

there is no way I could ever be,

no way I could ever react or

resond that would make me

unworthybof my own

loving-kindness.

 

And if it is true for me,

it is true for everyone

and everything that is.

 

Amen

***

 07/25/2024

Thought for the Day

You are the source of

your own deepest,

morst fervent, longing.

 

You are the actual

home of the Beloved,

my dear.

 

Isn't it high time

you got to know

WHO it is that you

have been living

with all of your life?

 

I do.

 

I promise, you will

not want for anything

ever again.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

What could anyone

or anything add

to who I am when

I am everything

I have always

yearned for?

 

And who, pray tell,

actually has the power

to subtract from it?

 

No one.

 

I may think that this

is possible, but in truth,

this could only be

a possibility in fevered

and vain imaginings.

 

I am done with journeys

which go nowhere

and lead to no thing.

 

Today, I begin the most

sacred of all journeys:

that of getting to know

the one who resides

in the tabernacle

of my heart of hearts.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

LOVE is the only changeless

thing in this entire universe.

 

Every other pursuit is wasted

time, energy, resources

and breath.

 

Why do you bother so?

 

If you cannot take it with you

when your time on earth

is done, then why, pray tell,

are you investing in things

that have no eternal sig-

nificance and therefore

do not really matter?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Oh, heart, oh blessed

blessed heart.

 

Thank you for loving

me almost more than

I can bear.

 

Amen

***

 07/23/2024

Thought for the Day

There was no other intention

in your creation than that

you live a happy and

fulfilled life which you love.

 

This was architected into

your design, beloved.

 

And if this is not the case,

if this is not your life that

I am describing, then it is

high time you did

something about it,

don't you think?

 

Come home to the natural

state, a peaceful & present

state of being, where you

real eyes that nothing can add

to your experience of yourself

and nothing can subtract

from it.

 

You are the perfect 'you'

for every time and ocassion.

every space and place.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Show me how to share

ever more the peace

in which this heart

now abides.

 

Amen

***

 07/22/2024

Thought for the Day

You know that you know

that you know you are

free when you want

nothing from anyone

or anything outside of

yourself.

 

And you want nothing

because you real eyes that

they are incapable of giving

you what you think that

you need from them.

 

It is no one's fault for being

100% unequal to the task

which has always been

yours in the first place.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you world for never

being able to love

and accept me as only

I can.

 

You were the catalyst

that made me see

how deeply I was dependent

upon so many sources

outside of myself and inspired

the most profound journey

of all---the journey within.

 

Amen

***

 07/21/2024

Thought for the Day

No one on this entire planet

is capable of having

the degree of intimacy,

love and acceptance of you,

the longing to actually be

with you for which you crave,

beloved.

 

No one.

 

And the sooner you can

accept this, the sooner

the need will fall away.

 

They cannot because they

are not you.

 

You are the only one with

the degree of intimacy

and first hand knowledge

of you that you have

every single moment

of your life.

 

No one is capable of uunder-

standing you like you

understand you.

 

Who could ever get you

like you get you?

 

Once you real eyes that you

have spent your entire life

barking up the wrong tree,

you are free.

 

This is the end of your seeking

for approval and love

outside of yourself.

 

Now begins the incredible

journey of falling in love

with yourself.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I relinquish the

expectations I have placed

on those closest to me.

 

Today I get it.

 

Anywhere where there is

an expectation of any kind,

there is suffering.

 

I have been looking for

something from others

that they are incapable

of giving.

 

I am the only one who can

love and accept me

like I can.

 

Today, I source my love,

approval and acceptance

from me.

 

Today, I source my love,
approval and acceptance
from God.

 

​And so it is.

 

Amen

***

 07/20/2024

Thought for the Day

What do you bring

to life each day?

 

Is it the energy of liberation,

of exhilarating FREEDOM

and boundless joy?

 

Or are you part of the madness

which plagues this field

of dreams?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

The heart is so full

and so expansive,

so filled to overflowing

with LOVE that tears

stream from the eyes

most of the time these

days.

 

Everything is so precious

and dear...so delicate..

so fragile..yearning

to be held and told that

it is okay...that it is safe

with you.

 

May this be the constant GiFT

I bring to every moment

of my life.

 

Amen

***

 07/19/2024

Thought for the Day

I do not write these thoughts

and prayers each day

for you.

 

I write them for myself.

 

I have always written them

for myself.

 

The commitment, consistency

and repetition with which 

I have applied myself each day

for the past 28 years has cultivated

within me a discipline as natural

as that of breathing.

 

I now know a level of self-mastery

I would never have found had I nor

made the decision tp be

acountable every single day,

rain or shine, easy days or

challenging days, and even

when I was in the hospital.

 

There have been no exceptions,

and this conscious choice

has given me the very life

I always yearned for

with all of my heart.

 

What is the life of which

I speak?

 

To be utterly and unequivocally

FREE.

 

This is what it means to be

willing to go to any lengths.

 

Have you ever wanted anything

that much in your entire life?

 

I am not saying that any objective

takes 30 years to master.

 

But I am saying that it takes

the willingness to never give up,

to pick yourself up when you fall

and comfort yourself, to adovacate

completely every single day

for what you want until

the goal becomes your absolute

reality.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

FREEDOM is not really

something one can talk

about.

 

You either are or you are not.

 

Your own experience

reveals what is true

for you.

 

May FREEDOM be

the only energy that

I bring each day

to the banquet table

of life.

 

No religion.

 

No politics.

 

No opinions.

 

No judgments.

 

Just simple freedom

and a love which knows

no bounds.

 

Amen

***

 07/18/2024

Thought for the Day

Here's a novel idea:

 

What if you never ever

needed anyone

ever again?

 

What if you felt complete

within yourself 24/7,

in need of no one and

no thing?

 

What if the relationships

you did participate in

were because you chose

to be in them, and you

chose to be in them

because you both were

coming from a place

of wholeness?

 

And what if you lived in

such an unshakable state

of peace that nothing

could ever touch it, let

alone, interfere with it?

 

How could what happens

​to you from that point forward

matter to you ever again?

 

Now that's FREEDOM.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May the epitaph read:

 

Although she walked

in this world, she

was not of it.

 

Amen

***

 07/17/2024

Thought for the Day

I want you to be throughly

unshakable in the FREEDOM

you experience each and

every day.

 

Can the loss of that which

produces suffering,

changability & uncertainty

ever really be counted

as a deficit, something

of value now gone

over which you grieve

and pine in misery

and devastation?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Free of all of it.

 

That's what I want.

 

Hear my ' yes.'


I am ready to walk on
water.
 

Amen

***

 07/16/2024

Thought for the Day

You are an emancipated being

beloved, and you always

have been.

 

No one has the power

to place you in bondage,

no one but you.

 

We are talking inner FREEDOM

or inner bondage here.

 

For true FREEDOM

is always an inside job.

 

Ask Viktor Frankl, Etty

Hillesom or any other human

being who found FREEDOM

in Auschwitz of all places.

 

You cannot actually imprison

yourself, only believe that you

can be imprisoned.

 

And a belief has no more power

than the power you give it.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me pay close attention

to every experience today,

noting what feels free to me

and what wreaks of bondage.

 

And let me embrace the former

and be brave enough

to walk away from the latter.

 

May I never ever forget

that I was born to fly, and soar

I will... with all the passion and

magnificence in which

I was created.

 

Amen

***

 07/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Everything is always helpful.

 

No exceptions.

 

Can you embrace that?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I bow inwardly

before every experience

so help me God.

 

Amen

***

 07/14/2024

Thought for the Day

What then is FREEDOM?

 

I don't know about you,

but since I was a very small

child, I have longed for freedom,

though I knew not what

it was, only what

it wasn't.

 

It wasn't riding an emotional

roller coaster, feeling either

afraid or angry more often

than not.

 

And it wasn't hating myself,

wishing either myself

or someone else were dead.

 

I knew that much.

 

But in the end, what I discovered

was that FREEDOM is an abiding

state of radical acceptance,

the willingness to bow before

every experience in recognition

that everything that happens,

everything that is felt, 

contributes to your wholeness

because everything longs

to return to its infinite state

which is love, love and more

LOVE.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me recognize that

I need not understand or

engage with any experience,

whether I consider it to be

inner or outer ever again.

 

I need only accept it,offering

myself loving-kindness

in the midst of every what is.

 

Amen

***

 07/13/2024

Thought for the Day

The most powerful of all

practices is the willingness

to bow before each and

every experience

with complete acceptance,

embracing the isness

of your life, offering nothing

your resistance, trusting

fully in what is as it is.

 

Here you know that

it that does not matter

whether or not

any particular experience

feels inner or outer,

because you begin to recognize

that every experience

is always inner.

 

It is always about you

facing, responding to and

loving and supporting

yourself in the midst of

​what is happening.

 

It is the humble acceptance

that you are always on

your soul's journey

and you cannot be

otherwise.

 

You remember at all times that

what you are experiencing

is what you chose to experience

before time was born and so

you lean into it with childlike

faith and acceptance.

 

This is what it means to be

a stream enterer and live

in the unceasing flow of grace.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I bow before

what is and trust.

 

My mantra for the day is thus:

 

"This is helping facilitate

the awakening of the world!"

 

Amen

***

 07/12/2024

Thought for the Day

Why do you feel you are here?

 

Is there any point to

your human life?

 

You cannot afford to wait

until you are on your death bed

to begin to explore these

questions.

 

You have no guarantee

that you will still be here

tomorrow.

 

No one us does.

 

Do not leave this earth

without having fully explored

to your satisfaction 

the meaning and purpose

of your life, having

become peacefully aligned

with your own True North.

 

This is your job.

 

No one can do this for you,

nor is any one else either

capable or worthy of

telling you what is true

for you, beloved.

 

To do anything less than this

is a wasted life, and none of us

has that luxury.

 

And could that ever really

content anyone who has a heart

as big as yours?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May I bring the changeless

state of presence

to the banquet table

of my life.

 

Amen

***

 07/11/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you real eyes that

there is no such thing

as your soul and my soul,

there is only the soul?

 

The same soul which

abides changelessly in you

does so in all things

manifest.

 

It abides lovingly in

Jeffry Dahmer, Adolph Hitler,

the son of Sam, Mother Theresa

and Jesus or Buddha or

Zarathushtra.

 

And there is nothing you have

ever done, nothing which

you are presently doing

or ever will do that can

change that.

 

All of which begs the question,

"so why bother with spiritual

pursuits at all then?"

 

The reason is simple.

 

Because you came here to

evolve the human experience,

beloved.

 

And as such, you came

to be the light of the world.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose to live

a fully conscious life.

 

Only a conscious life

is free of spurious tail

chasing.

 

Besides, I choose to be

the light of the world,

and how does one do this

​asleep at the wheel?

 

I choose to be a love

which knows no bounds,

no limitations and no

judgments of any kind.

 

Amen

***

 07/10/2024

Thought for the Day

Everything everything everything

is a manifestation of the same

LIGHT, the same LOVE,

the same PRESENCE.

 

No exceptions, beloved.

 

No exceptions. Ever.

 

Regardless of what you

have done.

 

Regardless of what you

are currently doing.

 

Regardless of what has been

done to you.

 

Your soul came here in order

to evolve the human experience.

 

It is not the other way around.

 

And some of us....

 

Some of us...

 

Some of us actually incarnated

at this particular time i

n human history in order to

usher in a New Earth,

a new version of what

it means to be human.

 

In that, we represent

the first wave, the first

receivers of the GIFT

of truth.

 

Are you the ONE that

I have waited my etnre

life for?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I thank you for the life

which is my great good

fortune to happen to be

living because it is an

awesome life to live,

the perfect life for me.

 

Amen

***

 07/09/2024

Thought for the Day

It takes a profound level

of courage as well as trust

to allow yourself to be

exactly as you are

at all times in recognition

that who you are

and how you are

is not a limitation at all.

 

It is not a form of self-sabotage,

nor can it ever be lacking in

integrity.

 

Why?

 

Because you are always

at all times on the soul's

journey, beloved.

 

And that means how you

are is how you are supposed

to be and what is happening

is what is meant to be

happening.

 

Who, on God's green earth,

actually has the power

or authority to override God?

 

Thus, to love yourself means

to give yourself permission

to fully be the human being

that you are without

judgment, without criticism

and without reservation.

 

And genuinely loving yourself

is the entry point into a true

and changless state of peace,

an abiding state of FREEDOM.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Why would I ever listen

to the propaganda machine

of this world ever again

when all the world 

will ever tell me is that 

I am not enough?

 

You did it wrong.

 

You should be more ________ .

 

Why didn't you ___________ ?

 

I give thanks that

truth is established within,

never without, and you,

dear soul, are the only

True Authority.

 

Amen

***

 07/08/2024

Thought for the Day

The most beautiful of all days

is the one where you wake up

and you realize, for the first

time in your life, that you

feel so much peace

and so much joy that

a new and rather gobsmacking

thought arises:

 

Nothing...nothing...nothing...

of this mind, of the body or

this world can change

my inner experience of life

ever again.

 

Now that's FREEDOM.

 

Pressed down, shaken together

and running over...a freedom

which embraces everyone

and everything without

hesitation...without reservation...

and without limitation.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

How fortunate I am!

 

Thank you for the GIFT

which is my life.

 

Amen

***

 07/07/2024

Thought for the Day

Everything you bathe in love

dissolves and merges

with you.

 

How is this?

 

Because everything

is looking for redemption

and love is the only thing

which heals all.

 

People refer to it by

a thousand times 

ten thousand different

names, but in the end,

this is what everyone

is looking for.

 

Love, dear one, is

the only truly redemptive

causative agent in the

entire universe.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Come home!

 

Come home to my heart

where I promise to meet you

with open arms, tenderness

and total acceptance.

 

Amen

***

 07/06/2024

Thought for the Day

Awakening is a transcendent

experience of LOVE

which shatters the illusion

of you, the illusion of

a separate self.

 

That's when the gig is

finally and unequivocally up.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Let me open this heart

without reserve

to nothing short of

everything today.

 

I will step back...

and back... and back..

until there is no 'me.'

and let the light

lead the way.

 

Amen

***

 07/05/2024

Thought for the Day

What have you deemed to be

unlovable within?

 

Whom have you judged

to be unworthy?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today the practice is to

notice, in the moment,

what oe whom  I am

denying my love and to

tendery and unabashedly

love it, as it is.

 

Bless my practicing today.

 

Amen

***

 07/04/2024

Thought for the Day

When you actually get

right down to it, all

the ego really is, is

a non-inclusive state

to which you have given

an 'i' or personal identity;

and supplied it with

a first person narrative 

​or storyline. 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Who am I without the pomp

and circumstance?

 

Let me consciously

give myself permission

to fall into that.

 

Amen

***

 07/03/2024

Thought for the Day

Why are you listening to

and absorbing the voices 

of so many other people,

allowing them to disctate

how you feel?

 

[Let's name some of

the big one off, shall we?

 

your parents

your sibling(s)

your partner

your children

your grandchildren

the media

politicians

your boss

your co-workers

your friends

your enemies

the medical system

the educational system

 

And then there's the mind...

 

Why are you listening

to it?

 

[The peanut gallery between

your own two ears.]

 

Why are you listening to

everyone or everything

other than your own heart

to tell you what is true

for you?

 

Beloved, there is no other

Authority other than what

your own beating heart

tells you; naked of all the

propaganda the world

tries to feed you each

and every day.

 

To Thine Own Self Be True.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Well that's clearer than clear---

how we give our power

away and how we take it

all back.

 

I know now where my

peace resides and it is

there I will abide.

 

Everyone else (including

the nut case between

my own two ears)

can take a long walk

off of a very short pier.

 

Amen

***

 07/02/2024

Thought for the Day

All about you, day after day,

week after week and year

after year, you see people

all around you who are not

happy, who are on edge;

resrless, irritable and discon-

tent, who do not know peace.

 

Ploughing their way

through life, merely existing

but never really counted

among the living, desperate

and miserable, passing the night

with restless and disturbing

dreams...waking up and still

exhausted...before they begin

the same thing all over again.

 

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

 

Which do you feel is more

helpful?

 

Which do you suppose

would be more beneficial

to you?

 

Which the more crucial

to our world?

 

To blather on and on about

what ails this planet, our words

grating like fingernails on

a chalkboard, or to be a living

example of embodied peace?

 

Possessing a peace and

a stillness n the very midst of

this life, in the midst of

the endless sham and

clueless misery which

surrounds us day after

miserable day?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Am I part of the problem

or am I the embodied

solution?

 

Let me reflect on these

things.

 

Amen

***

 07/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Who have you still been

holding hostage in

your mind?

 

What have you still been

giving rent-free-space

between your two ears?

 

Can you not see that

you are jailer, jail cell

as well as hostage

when you hang on

to suffering, when you

harbor a grievance,

and the price you pay

is your own freedom

and happiness?

 

And can you not also see

that all the experiences

you have ever had

have led you to who

you are now?

 

That without them,

you would not be you?

 

In this sense, everything

is always a GIFT.

 

Let nothing cling to you,

my dear.

 

No one and nothing

is worth it, and no one

and nothing deserves

to have power over you

save you.

 

Only that could be said 

to be true self-sovereignty 

and agency.

 

Nothing short of that.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May I never forget that

I am a powerful being

of love and light

and no one can take

my power from me

but me.

 

I have to willingly give

it up.

 

And for what?

 

A petty grievance?

 

Why would I ever

choose to give away

my inheritance

so arbitrarily?

 

Amen

***

 06/30/2024

Thought for the Day

Who have you given the authority

to mess with your jam,

to disturb your peace, to rile

you up, and cause

you to have a bad day?

 

Should anyone on this planet

have that power but you?

 

From this perspective

you can see that there are

no real victims, only volunteers.

 

Sure. Someone can harm the body.

 

That is the extent of what they

actually have the power to do.

 

But only you have the power

to decide what your inner world

feels like.

 

This isn't about you trying to

justify you feelings.

 

This is about you maintaining

complete agency and sovereignty

over your inner world.

 

And that, my dear, is the one

difference between heaven

and hell, a conscious life

and an unconscious one.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me clearly see

that there is no such thing

as a situation or circumstance

in which FREEDOM

and PEACE are not

available to me.

 

I DECIDE WHAT MY

INNER WORLD

IS GOING TO BE.

 

Help me choose wisely,

for I would live my life

peacefully and free.

 

Amen

***

 06/29/2024

Thought for the Day

Which of the following

experiences do you feel

anchor you in an abiding

state of peace?

 

Acceptance or resistance?

 

Trust, or railing and ranting

against what is?

 

You are a sovereign being

with complete autonomy

and inner agency.

 

No one gets to decide what

your inner world looks like

and feels like but you.

 

Never forget this.

 

Discountenance or

peacefulness is your choice.

 

You, dear one, are the single

determining factor

of the day that

you will experience today.

 

Will an gentleness and

quietude hold all things 

in trust, or will unsatis-

factoriness rule your day?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

No one's gonna change

my world.

 

Today I rest in peace.

 

Amen

***

 06/28/2024

Thought for the Day

Why is that we, as a species,

waste 99% of our time, effort,

energy and resources on things

that do not really matter

in the scope of eternity?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Busy busy busy

and with what?

 

Just what do I have to show

for all the plates I have had

and am currently spiining?

 

I may be richer in the pocket

book, but I am poor of 

spirit.

 

I may have gained some

of the acceptance, approval

and praise from others

that I craved, but I have left

my own love of self

abandoned in

the dust.

 

This heart weeps when it sees

how much self-abandonment

I have engaged with in this life.

 

May the focus today

be on merging with what is

with an open heart,

deep love and

self-acceptance

as I am.

 

May I be good enough

for me and say to hell

to those who want me to

keep on running on that

hamster wheel we call life.

 

Amen

***

 06/27/2024

Thought for the Day

If you can talk about it,

ithen t is not it.

 

But you do feel it

when you experience it

and no one can argue

with what is

your direct experience.

 

Who cares if anyone else

sees you?

 

You did not come here

for other people.

 

You came here to real eyes

the Self or God.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me stay in my own

lane today, with my attention

on naught but my own

direct experience, leaving

others to their own soul's

perfect jjourney for them,

which happens to be none

of my business.

 

Amen

***

 06/26/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you recognize

the difference between

someone who talks a lot

about the truth

and someone who says

nothing, yet quietly lives

their lives as an

embodiment of it?

 

Can you feel when

you are in the presence of

someone who lives from

the radiant transparency

of authentic being?

 

What do you notice?

 

What's it like?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I choose to live

from the space and place

of peaceful presence

for what remains

of this life.

 

Amen

***

 06/25/2024

Thought for the Day

What could be better than

to be in a state of complete

peace in your own skin,

at peace with humanity,

at peace with not only

your world, but the world

at large?

 

You tell me.

 

Who would ache or long

for more, better or different

if these were the conditions

of his inner experience of life?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I'm living my best life

and I give thanks for

this GIFT.

 

Amen

***

 06/24/2024

Thought for the Day

What happens when you

allow yourself to experience

your life in the exact way

that you are experiencing it?

 

And what occurs when you

no longer resist what is

in any way nor seek

to change it?

 

What do you think happens

when you trust what is happening

as being a part of the soul's

perfect journey for you?

 

Lastly, what happens when you

recognize that your life

happens the way it happens

to show you what

you have yet to love

and accept about yourself?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Grant me the courage to

allow my life to show me

what happens when

I love, trust and accept

what is as it is, me included.

 

Amen

 06/23/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you want to feel

happiness, to have

a certain joie de vivre?

 

Do you long for peace

and the deeply

satisfying experience of

feeling entirely at home

in your own skin?

 

Then quit nit-picking.

 

Do yourself a favor

and the world a solid

as well and stop

nit-picking.

 

Making Much Ado about Nothing

as Shakespeare would

put it.

 

Nothing needs to be different,

my dear.

 

If it was supposed to be

different, it would be.

 

Where is the key that

unlocks the door of Heaven.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me live with

such simplicity and

acceptance, that I

may experience

Heaven whilst still

on earth.

 

Amen

***

Thought for the Day

Listen carefully, beloved.

 

If there is nothing that is

missing in you, then

there can be nothing that

is required of you.

 

Like ever.

 

How deeply will you

give yourself permission

to settle into that realization

and lay your burden down?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Now that's acceptance.

 

May I live my life

that free.

 

Amen

***

 06/21/2024

Thought for the Day

The goal, if you could say

there was one, because

there is not, would be to

bring Conscious Awareness

to all the moments of your

life.

 

It is not to try to fix what is,

nor to try to heal it, to try

to improve what is or to

try to change what is

happening, whether inner

or outer in any way.

 

Simply to bring Conscious

Awareness to each unique

experience with the most

humble and gentle

of all recognitions...that

you chose this emotion,

this feeling, these thoughts,

this body, these experiences

as they are, long before

time began.

 

Why would you do such

a thing?

 

Because you knew that 

each experience you chose,

when consciously experienced,

would help you bring love

and light to all the parts of you

that were longing to remember

your freedom and the peace

which you forever are..

 

That how you are and how you

react or respond is flawlessly

perfect for you.

 

That loving means to be with...

to really and trly be with.

 

To be with without judgment

or need to change anything.

 

Thus the perfect question 

to ask of oneself in each 

unfolding moment is, can

I embrace that?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me dare to embrace

myself in all the moments

of my life, recognizing

that I do not need to be

different, I need to be

lovingly accepted by

myself for who I am

and how I am.

 

Amen

***

 06/20/2024

Thought for the Day

What does the adage

live and let live

mean to you?

 

Reflect on this question

today....

 

Better yet, seek to live

by it and let the results

you see in your life

and the lives of others

speak for themselves.

 

For the results will 

surely speak to your heart

in a silence which is 

deafening if  you let them.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me stay in my own lane

today and silently offer

all who cross my path

total freedom to be without

​my enter + fear + ance

and a heartfelt blessing.

 

Amen

***

 06/19/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you know that you

are supposed to have the

precise experience that you

have to each and every

thought which you read

here every day?

 

Some of you are offended,

some dismayed, others

caught completely off guard

while some laugh and

turn away, never to return.

 

But some...

 

Some receive the messages

like they are manna

from heaven.

 

But you know what?

 

It does not matter.

 

You cannot get it wrong.

 

I do not expect you to

understand the messages.

 

I do not need you to

agree with them.

 

You will have the experience

you were supposed to have

as I will have mine.

 

And the only thing that

I can do is show up each day,

sit at this keyboard

and allow to flow through me

what wishes to flow from

this heart, to be the message's

first receiver.

 

And my only responsibility

to to be true to my Self,

true to my experience,

and that I choose each day,

100% of the time.

 

Who hears will hear

because they are destined to,

who does not never will

and that is perfect too.

 

If humanity could only trust

that everything is exactly

as it should be, that you are

as you should be,

and just flow with the river of life

rather than try to push it,

the world would be restored

to a permanent state of peace

in span of a single heartbeat.

 

Now that's acceptance;

acceptance and trust.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for a heart

which is big enough

to embrace the world

exactly as it is.

 

Amen

***

 06/18/2024

Thought for the Day

What kind of world do you

want to live in?

 

How would you like

your life to look, and more

importantly, how would

you like it to feel?

 

Have you ever given these

questions some sincere

and humble reflection?

 

Are you willing to advocate

on behalf of the world

you want to live in and

the person you want to be?

 

And are you willing to do so

consistently day after day

until your dream is fully

realized?

 

Because that is what it takes

to bring something out of

the realm of possibility

into the realm of the manifest.

 

And that, my dear,

is what maturity looks like

and feels like.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

The trouble with our world

in a nutshell?

 

Too many preschoolers

pretending to be adults.

 

Forget about maturity.

 

People have forgotten words

like cooperation, brotherhood,

generosity, kindness and most

importantly, committment.

 

No one wants to be responsible

or accountable.

 

It is far too easy to blame

and pass the buck,

that's the inconvenient truth.

 

May my presence in this world

be an example of all I hold

dear and the full potential

and possibility of

a precious human life.

 

Amen

***

 06/17/2024

Thought for the Day

A mantra is given you

to work with today.

 

Play around with it.

 

Find other ways to say it.

 

Apply it to everything.

 

Just be willing to see

where it takes you.

 

Here goes:

 

I chose this...

 

I choose this...

 

I choose to experience this...

 

This is part of my soul's

perfect journey for me.

 

They are on their soul's perfect

journey for them. Leave

them alone. Live and let live.

 

Relax and breathe.

 

You've got this.

 

Everything is unfolding

according to design.

 

I have every reason

to trust what's happening,

to trust the life

which is mine to live

and that includes this.

 

 

And if it occurs to you to do so,

jot me a note and tell me

of your discoveries.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the life

which is mine to live.

 

I've got this.

 

Amen

***

 06/16/2024

Thought for the Day

What could possibly be

more important or

precious to you

than peace?

 

If the cost you pay

ffor having it, is holding

onto a relationship,

a job, success in any arena

of your human life, material

possessions, the acknow-

ledgement or approval

of others, etc., is your peace,

then walk away---

no, run for God's sake,

to the nearest

exit.

 

It's just not worth it.

 

I treasure having

a light-hearted and

simple life far too much---

one where I sleep

like a baby at night,

that the thought

of sacrificing my peace

for the mere trinkets

that this world

has to offer is

utterly unthinkable.

 

What matters most

to you?

 

Have you let that become

the guiding principle

upon which you have

built your life?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Peace, precious

boundless peace,

in every single

step I take.

 

This is my purpose

​for being.

This is how I share

my light unobscurated

with the world.

 

Amen

***

 06/15/2024

Thought for the Day

No one can give you

permission to be happy

but you, my dear.

 

Happy is a lifestyle choice,

and one that is dependant

on nothing but what

you elect.

 

It is a decision that you make

each morning before

your feet hit the floor.

 

And that decision walks

in the space before you,

reminding you in each moment

that you are a self-sovereign

being and you decide

what kind of day

you will have.

 

What or whom

are you waiting on

in order to give yourself

permission to be happy?

 

If the decision to be happy

is dependant on anyone

or anything, that is

the extent to which

you have given your power

away and are playing

the role of victim.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I choose to be

happy and nothing

is going to interfere

with that decision

which only I can

make.

 

Amen

***

 06/14/2024

Thought for the Day

Can you give yourself

permission today

to no longer need

anyone else's approval

for anything, or to care

what they think

or have to say about you?

 

Will you at least give

it a sincere try?

 

Can you imagine

what it would feel like

to completely have

your own approval

and need no other?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Please support me

in every effort I make 

to lovingly & authentically

be here for me.

 

Amen

***

 06/13/2024

Thought for the Day

If you really and truly are

as God created you,

made by design by the

Great Designer of All,

then what do you

actually think you are doing

when you refer to yourself

as a work in progress?

 

Isn't that a rather straight

forward middle finger

that is being directed

toward the Absolute

Creator of All?

 

If I express dislike

toward a painting

or other work of art,

is that a statement 

I am making about

the painting, or the one

who painted it?

 

Not his best work

is an opinion, not a fact.

 

Beloved, no opinion

carries any more weight

than what you happen

to give it.

 

And that does not mean

it truly has any clout at all,

only that you have given

your power to it.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

LOVE the one you're with

has an entirely new

meaning for me today.

 

Help me show up for

the one I am always with

in humble recognition that

the only person that

I am always with

is myself.

 

Amen

***

 06/12/2024

Thought for the Day

You do not need anybody's

permission for anything,

beloved, you do not need

anybody's permission

but your own.

 

Never never never

externalize your authority

because you are

a self-sovereign

human being.

 

You were created to be

self-soverign and that

you forever remain.

 

Your mind, your emotions,

your identity, cannot be

manipulated, coerced,

hypnotized, fooled

or controlled by anyone,

ever, unless you allow it

to be.

 

Isn't it high time 

you took your power back,

and I do mean all of it,

from every external

authority that you have

given it to?

 

Who has victimized whom?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me clearly see

that it is my own permission

I have longed for

all along.

 

I vow to no longer deny

myself my own love

and compassion

however I am ever

again.

 

For I recognize, and I do

so clearly, that it is

not the world's job

to see me, it is mine.

 

Amen

***

 06/11/2024

Thought for the Day

The one thing that you

cannot change is the fact

that you are a human

being.

 

You are here in a body

experiencing a human life.

 

You have spent your entire life

desperately trying to become

something other than human,

something which you already

are, beloved.

 

Every time you distract,

numb, repress or suppress,

you are denying some part

of your humanity your

own love.

 

You create the separation

by fivifing yourself into

two parts; lovable

and unlovable.

 

But being the way you are

and giving yourself

permission to be that way,

to meet all these parts of you

with tenderness, kindness

and openness is the entry

point into an empowered

and fulfilled life.

 

How is this?

 

Because you are giving

all of yourself direct access

to the LOVE that you are.

 

And that's Freedom with

a capital "F".

 

To know thyself is to love

thyself.

 

And to love thyself

is to be with all the parts

of you, to actually give 

yourself permission to be

the human being that you

are as you are and to know

that that is entirely worthy,

even if no one else ever

sees it or gets it. 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

No longer denying

any part of me

my light and my

LOVE.

 

Thus allowing my love

and light to merge completely

with my humanity

in humble recognition that

I am always lovable,

the perfect 'me,'

no matter what.

 

Amen

***

 06/10/2024

Thought for the Day

Dear sweet child,

you are the HOME

where LOVE resides.

 

Give yourself permission

to access, experience

and embody that LOVE

NOW.

 

What could possibly be

standing in the way of that

but your permission?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Rapturous thanksgiving

pours forth from this heart

for the incredible love

I have found within me.

 

Amen

***

 06/09/2024

Thought for the Day

The most amazing feeling

that you will ever experience

is that of realizing that

you are not dependent

on anyone or anything.

 

You recognize, and quite

clearly so, that you have

become your own source

both of and for

everything....

 

Completion is only

found within, my love.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for who I am

and how I am.

 

I thank the ONE

who resides in the temple

of the heart, the living Source

of all things manifest,

for my completion.

 

Amen

***

 06/08/2024

Thought for the Day

If you are very very fortunate,

perhaps one person

during the course of

an entire lifetime

will really and truly see you,

see you in naked transparency

and cherish what is seen

unconditionally with

no questions asked.

 

Be sure to take the time

to notice and appreciate

it if or when it happens,

but certainly do not waste

your life force expecting it

from anyone.

 

You are not here for others

to get you.

 

You are not here

for the world to see you,

you are here for you

to see you.

 

So the question is, do you

see you?

 

Do you really and truly

see you?

 

Are you your own

most beloved and

treasured advocate?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the glory

which this life has been

for me in ways too numerous

to count.

 

And thank you that

at long last, I can say

with complete honesty

that I do love myself.

 

Love, livest thou me.

 

Amen

***

 06/07/2024

Thought for the Day

If it isn't loving, if it

isn't kind, it is some form

of self-abuse

and self-abnegation.

 

And it is helpful to remember

that whatever you project 

onto others or your world

is a revelation of how

​you really and truly

feel about yourself

on the deepest of levels.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May I never forget that

how I treat you

is a rather telling reflection

of how I treat me.

 

Amen

***

 06/06/2024

Thought for the Day

If you could devote yourself

fully to only one practice

and grow into being 100%

consistent in your response

to yourself and your world

at all times it would be this...

 

To allow the following

question to walk in the space

before you, informing

everything you think, feel,

say or do:

 

Is this loving?

 

This is all.

 

And if it is not, determine

to have no part in it.

 

Be willing to walk away

from the person(s) or 

situation entirely

if need be.

 

I assure you, your world

would change in ways

which are beyond

miraculous.

 

And if all the world

were to adopt this practice

for just one day,

the earth would no doubt

shift on its axis.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me give myself

to this practice with

increasing devotion,

sincerity and earnest-

ness every single day

from this point forward

for what remains

of my life.

 

Amen

***

 06/05/2024

Thought for the Day

Nobody on God's green earth

has the ability to give you

permission to be all that you

are but you, my dear.

 

And nobody has the power

to withhold it from you

but you, either.

 

To what or or to whom

(other than you)

have you given your power?

 

If you are being really honest

with yourself,

who's holding whom back?

 

Huh?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today, giving myself permission

to be free, to embody fully

​all that I am.

 

Amen

***

 06/04/2024

Thought for the Day

If you are trying,

you are lying.

 

You cannot try to be

or become all that

you infinitely are

right now and

always have been.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I yam that I yam

and that is all I yam.

 

And that means I am

an Infinite Being

​of love and light.

 

Yesterday, today

and forever.

 

Amen

***

 06/03/2024

Thought for the Day

With all of my heart I implore,

will you please just allow it

to be easy?

 

You are the only one

who chooses to make

your life difficult.

 

You are the one who holds

separation in place by

refusing to love every part

of you.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Worthy am I to love,

cherish and embody

all that I am.

 

Amen

***

 06/02/2024

Thought for the Day

It is one thing for me

to tell you day after day

who you are, and it is

quite another thing

for you to give yourself

permission to be

what you are.

 

Herein lies the sticky

wicket through which

you must give yourself

permission to pass

through.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me clearly see

that I am the only

adversary I have

ever had and

consciously choose

to be done with that

in its entirety.

 

Amen

***

 06/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Once you begin to tell

the truth to yourself

about your experience,

being entirely honest,

yet kind and gentle

with yourself, you

liberate your light

which has been shrouded

in darkness within you.

 

Then you become

a formidable presence---

the likes of which

this world has

never seen or known.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May I be such a being.

 

Amen

***

 05/31/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you recognize that

you are withholding love

from yourself

each and every time

you find any part of you

unworthy or unacceptable,

seeking distraction, humbing

and busyness instead?

 

Why would anyone do this

to themselves if they

clearly recognized that this

is precisely what they were

up to?

 

Why would you judge

yourself so harshly?

 

What is so terrifying

about being you?

 

Hasn't the world already

done enough of that?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me lovingly advocate

on behalf of myself today

by truly being attentive to me,

for I would be my own BFF.

 

Amen

***

 05/30/2024

Thought for the Day

When you find yourself feeling

disgruntled, at odds with

what is, hit your pause button

and take 3-4 long, slow,

deep breaths.

 

Remind yourself of the

following:

 

When I was at Infinite Choice,

this was an experience

I chose to have.

 

Why do you think that is?

 

Could it be because of

the LIGHT that you would

bring to the people you

would inevitably encounter

throughout the entirety

of the experience?

 

How else does LIGHT get

moved around on

the game board of life?

 

And could it also be

because of who you KNEW

that you would inevitably become

as a result of this experience?

 

When you listen carefully

and lovingly, what does

your heart tell you

about this experience?

 

Does it urge you to resist?

To fight and struggle

in an attempt to change

what is?

 

Or does it whisper to you

"Surrender, my dearest one,

surrender lovingly

to what is. You will find

freedom and peace if you

trust that this was part

of your plan all along."

***

 

Prayer for the Day

That is about as clear

as anything could

possibly get.

 

Help me learn to

trust my Self

and love my Self

as only I can.

 

Amen

***

 05/29/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you real eyes that in

every single experience

which each moment holds,

you are profoundly connected

to everyone else on this planet

who happens to be experiencing

the same thing as you or

struggles with it as well?

 

You came to express

the light that you are

through every bit of'

your experience.

 

You did not come here

to escape the human

experience.

 

You came here to live it,

and live it fully.

 

I'm talking

boots on the ground,

right in the middle

of everything,

completely experiencing

the experience, as it is,

and bringing the light to it.

 

Love chose to be here.

 

So be here and experience

every experience love chose

to have, trust it, without

needing to understand,

bringing the light

to all of it.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes that

this body is a light 

delivery mechanism

which I chose,

long before I arrived.

 

My experiences are

both planeed and

necessary.

 

And it is by having

the courage to really

and truly live it, that

I set us all free.

 

Amen

***

 05/28/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you real eyes that life

presents you with power-

lessness and uncertainty,

problems and obstacles,

challenges and discomfort

in order to systematically

remove another layer of

the illusion of you?

 

It is not a punishment.

 

Tell the truth about 

your experience!

 

You did not do anything

wrong.

 

That which has the capacity

to bring you to your knees

is there to lift you up to

Infinity.

 

But it cannot do so

until you get out of your

own way.

 

Think of all whom you will

bring your light to

as you navigate the choppy

waters you are currently

navigating.

 

You are, after all, always

and at all times on the soul's

journey.

 

Your experience is perfect,

beloved.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me remember

that when I can't,

the light whithin me can,

and have the good sense

to surrender and

accept what is.

 

Amen

***

 05/27/2024

Thought for the Day

You are amazing, sweetheart.

 

And a human life is so brief.

 

So live it. Give it your all.

 

Get on with it.

 

Play full out.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me live this day

as if it were my last---

with passion, vim

and lights-on-bright

enthusiasm, ever

remembering that

I am a beautiful human

being and this life...this life...

the one that I am experiencing

is a never to be repeated

GIFT.

 

Amen

***

 05/26/2024

Thought for the Day

Today is all about examining

the relationship which you have

with your humanity.

 

Watch your humanity;

watch your emotions, your

feelings, your body.

 

Observe your interactions

with people, the situations and

circumstances you encounter,

without trying to police yourself

in any way.

 

This is not about judging it.

 

This is not about judging you.

 

Nor is it about trying to change

anything.

 

It is about being willing

and able to be truly honest

with ourselves.

 

What is your relationship with

your emotions like?

 

Do you feel them, accept them

and embrace them?

 

How do you relate to

your feelings?

 

What is your relationship

with your body like?

 

If you were to draw a bar

graph and on the far left side

was "I hate my body, I feel

at odds with what is

happening in it. I struggle

with it and oft times resist

what is happening in it.

I push it to the point of

exhaustion most of the time."

 

And on the far right side

you have "I love my body,

I feel appreciation and

gratitude for my physicality

and I try to care for it in a way

that is supportive of it"

where would you honestly

be?

 

And then throughout the day,

be observant of all the body

provides you, all that it makes

possible.

 

Do the same with your emotions,

feelings, all that you would

refer to as your inner experience

as well as outer experience.

 

Your human life is a gift.

 

Without the sum total of

your humanity, exactly

as it is, the Divine would

be without a unique means

to share its dynamic presence

in this world.

 

It would have no vehicle

with which to make itself

known.

 

Your willingness to take

a human form is more than

vital, it is pivotal

in the grand scheme

of things.

 

Perhaps you have lost sight

of that more than a bit,

my dear.

 

An idea worthy of your loving

reflection today.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

All of me is ONE with

all things.

 

Let love, appreciation

and genuine gratitude

be the reflections

of this day for what

my presence here

on planet earth.

brings to this

banquet table

of life.

 

Amen

***

 05/25/2024

Thought for the Day

Know Thyself

 

and

 

To Thine Own Self Be True

 

are not suggestions.

 

They are why you are

experiencing a human life.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

Help me stay in my own

hoola hoop today

and love the Self I am.

 

Amen

***

 05/24/2024

Thought for the Day

In what world could you

possibly imagine that

peace was a real and

viable outcome for you

when your entire life

is built upon the concept

of playing the game,

fitting in, belonging,

public approval, being

successful and performing

well in ways which get

you noticed and bring

attention to yourself?

 

It's time for a little honest

self-reflection.

 

This is the paradigm that

the world follows,

it is not yours.

 

Not really.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

The only lie that counts

is the lie I tell myself.

 

Because I cannot tell

someone else a lie

without lying to myself

first.

 

I;m talking about

the one I repeat to myself

day after day after

miserable day.

 

The one that tells me

I am a have not (lacking)

pretending to be a have...

or at the very least,

chasing it in ways the world

defines as success.

 

And that is the tap root

which has been running

the show in my life

since I could first form

a thought.

 

Help me destroy it,

for I would collapse

the perceived distance

between the authentic

and the created selves.

 

When that root goes,

they all go along with it,

for each is a branch

from the orignal root.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

The most powerful lie

in all the universe

is the one you tell

yourself.

 

You cannot lie to yourself

and actually wonder

why your life is miserable.

 

And the greatest of all lies

is that you are something

other than love.

 

Do you real eyes the level

of self-deception you have to

engage in on a daily basis

to convince youself that

you are separate or distanced

from the truth of your being

or God?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

I have spent a lifetime
betraying myself

and for what?

 

The favor of others?

 

Thank you that I can no longer

tolerate the thought of

self-deception and self-betrayal.

 

Thank you that it feels 

so unthinkable, intolerable

and repulsive.

 

I give thanks for that.

 

Thank you that honoring

and loving myself

feels so wonderful

that I cannot fathom

for a nanosecond

not being here for me

at all times and in

all ways.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

To Thine Own Self Be

True, beloved.

 

Be true to you to your

very last breath.

 

This is the definition of

a life of fulfillment,

a life well-lived.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

May I always be my best

champion in this life; the one

with the most clarity,

the most wisdom, the most

honesty, the most love,

the most kindness and

the most tenderness

for me.

 

Amen

***

 05/21/2024

Thought for the Day

The greatest of all forms of

deception is self-deception.

 

Why is this?

 

You are the one who has

to live with you, and that

you cannot escape.

 

You have to live with

the consequences of being

dishonest with yourself

about what your own

inner being is telling you

and then be willing

to betray that.

 

And for what?

 

Someone else's approval?

 

A facsimile of peace?

 

What about your peace?

 

What about the precious

being that you are

throwing under 

the bus?

 

What is your gain?

 

A few crumbs from

someone else's table

when you have been given

an entire smorgasbord

to choose from?

 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

Help me remember that

there is no good reason

to ever lie to myself

about anything.

 

This is because

the most sacred relationship

I will ever have is the one

I have with me.

 

Amen

 05/20/2024

Thought for the Day

Have you had enough

striving, struggling

and stressing out yet?

Are you tired of the hustle,

the misery and suffering?

 

You know, my dear,

that you are never alone,

even when you claim

you want to be.

Know this.

 

I'll be sure to keep the lights on

for you.

 

So come home when

you feel ready to do so.

 

I know, in your heart

of hearts, that you can feel

the difference between

boundless freedom

and the stench of bondage.

Prayer for the Day

 

May my presence ever be

a living scripture

waiting to be read

by all who long for freedom.

 

Amen

 05/19/2024

Thought for the Day

Here's the real deal.

 

You did not come here

to love your spouse,

your children, your partner,

your bff, your neighbor,

or the world.

 

You came here to learn

to love yourself.

 

Not just the parts you

find acceptable, but in

particular, the parts which

you find unacceptable

and actively dislike, dismiss,

have a problem with,

loathe or even hate.

 

And until you can love all

of these parts of you authentically,

you will not begin to know

what it means to love

the people in your life,

let alone the world.

Your inability to love you

becomes your inability

to truly love anyone

or anything.

 

Clear?

 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

Saddle up.

 

We have the task of

a lifetime to see about.

 

It is time to learn to

love ourselves

as only we can.

 

Amen

***

 05/18/2024

Thought for the Day

You matter.

 

You matter to me.

 

You have value.

 

You contribute to the sweetness

of life.

 

You make a difference

every day simply by being you.

 

You are a precious GIFT

to this world.

 

Never forget this.

 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

Breathing in I love you,

breathing out

the heart whispers

I love you.

 

Feeling it in every cell

of my being.

I am beautiful beyond

compare.

 

Amen

***

 05/17/2024

Thought for the Day

Partial experiences

do not count.

 

A glimpse is a glimpse 

is a glimpse.

 

Another aspect of

impermanence, no different

than any other experience

which comes and goes.

 

Radical acceptance

of every part of you

is the key to Eternity,

dear child.

 

It is always about

your inner experience

of life, is it not?

 

Every experience is an

opportunity to love yourself

even more.

 

***

 

Prayer for the Day

 

Help me remember that

I am a GIFT and let my light

shine for all to receive.

 

And let me not forget that

radiance and acceptance

walk the path of life

hand in hand.

 

Amen

***

 05/16/2024

Thought for the Day

You are the only one

who holds separation in place

by refusing to open your heart

to every single part of you, to

your life, to the lives of others

and our world without

condition or judgment.

 

Love loves with an open hand

and is without conditon or

expectation at all times

if it be love at all.

Prayer for the Day

Worthy am I

of my complete tenderness

and acceptance.

 

Today I shine my love

on all of me and I carry

this light with me

​to my world.

 

Amen

***

 05/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Abundance begins

with radical self-acceptance.

 

Self-denial and self-abnegation

closes off the flow of grace.

 

When will you be enough

for you, my dear?

 

When will you allow yourself

to receive the bounty of life?

***

Prayer for the Day

I never ever noticed

how worthiness and

an open heart go

hand in hand.

 

The heart does not have

the capacity to open

any wider that we have

the capacity to love

ourselves.

 

Thank you for eyes to see

and a heart which opens

wider and wider each day

to the flow of grace.

 

Amen

***

 05/14/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you real eyes that

nothing in this entire Cosmos

is stingy?

 

No one and no thing is

withholding anything

from you but you, beloved.

 

And you unavoidably do so

when you do not love

all of you.

 

There remains parts of you

that you feel are unworthy.

 

And so youwaste precious time

trying to change, placing

freedom in a future where

you hope to be worthy.

 

Listen carefully.

 

Change is impossible.

 

You are exactly who and how

God made you to be.

 

Until you can lovingly accept

all of yourself, exactly as you are,

you will never allow yourself

to receive the boundless love

and infinite blessings & bounty

which the Cosmos wishes

to give you.

 

Why?

 

Because they are yours

sweet child of God!

***

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the GIFT

of all of me.

 

I am beginning to feel like

acceptance, true, complete,

radical acceptance, acceptance

of nothing short of everything,

is like Willy Wonka's

golden ticket.

 

Help me love it all today

recognizing that it is all me---

for me, by me, to me.

 

Amen

***

 05/13/2024

Thought for the Day

The vital point that some of you

are still not comprehending

is that it is not enough to feel t

he feelings as they come up

for you, you are here to learn

to love and accept them exactly

as they are, to no longer have

a problem with any part of you

being exactly as it is.

 

This is have complete and utter

trust in the One who

consciously made you this way.

 

Because when you are brave

enough to love it completely

(we are one after all), that part

returns to wholeness within

all of us.

 

That is you 'soul' purpose

in this life: To make complete

peace with all of you.

***

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for making

me exactly as I am

and grant me the courage

to love and accept

all of what that means

as it is.

 

I am truly exhausted from

this adversarial relationship

I have with my life; reacting

constantly to my world. 

 

Help me to cultivate

a loving relationship 

with all of me, for I would

have naught but kindness

and tenderness from this point

forward with all of my experience

regardless, trusting in the ONE 

who made me as I am.

 

Amen

***

 05/12/2024

Thought for the Day

Your life is a reflection,

a living demonstration

of all you believe

and hold dear.

 

It is a culmination of

your conditioning, programing,

brainwashing, group think,

the media, big business,

​the social network, school,

work, friends, politics,

religion, beliefs, prejudices,

judgments, etc., etc.

 

What is the message which your life

communicates with the world?

 

Do you walk in the monotony

and humdrum of the Matrix,

allowing the mind and emotions 

to dicate the sum total of what

you have gown to think of

as you and your life, or are you 

a Conscious Bringer of Light?

 

Are you guided by the True North

of the Spirit within?

 

Why do you believe you

are here?

 

What is the purpose of

your life?

 

What have you garnered

along the way that you can

actually take with you

when you leave this world

behind?

 

Body?

 

Poessessions?

 

Accolades?

 

Which seeds have you sewn?

 

I assure you that the only thing

you will take with you when

you leave this earth behind

are the seeds of love

which have ripened 

in your heart.

 

These are your only

real possessions.

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me remain

consciously attuned today

to the fleeting nature

of this life I think of

as mine.

 

Even if we are fortunate

enough to live a 100 years,

it still goes by in the blink

of an eye.

 

Help me make every day

count in the most precious

of ways.

 

I ran into my old vet

who cared for my dog

all of her life.

 

When my dog died,

she was pregnant with

her first child.

 

Next week this same child

graduates from high school.

 

Help me make of my life

a living demonstration of

a love which knows

no bounds.

 

For this is the most frevent prayer

this heart has to offer this day

which is dedicated to Motherhood.

 

Help me real eyes that She

lives within.

 

Amen

 05/11/2024

Thought for the Day

(For Virginia)

Radical acceptance of everything

(particularly every part

and parcel of yourself)

exactly as you are,

exactly as it is, s is the key

which unlocks the door

which says "This Way To 

Permanent Changeless

Freedom."

 

Trying to change or enter + fear

with the grand Design

is such a waste of life force

energy and is the root

of all suffering.

 

Believing it should be different

and that it is your duty to try

your best to change people,

to change what is, is like

sentencing yourself to

the role is Sisyphus.

 

Remeber him?

 

Zeus sentenced him to roll

a boulder up a hill for all eternity,

only to try again and again

and again, meeting failure

each and every time.

 

When Divine Intelligence

wants you to do somthing 

you will recognize it as guidance

because what you intuit

will be clear and peaceful

to you.

 

Haven't you got better things

to do with your time?

 

Let's remove suffering

from all human vocabulary,

shall we?

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me bring my suffering

to an end by loving myself

and my world as it is.

 

Amen

***

 05/10/2024

Thought for the Day

How could I deign to criticize,

judge or try to change

what God created perfectly---

in the precise way

He wanted it to be?

 

Those who do engage in

these behaviors believe they

know better than God, that

the perfect can be rendered

imperfect and in need

of changing.

 

God cannot make a mistake,

beloved.

 

And if you could accept 

yourself as you are, and the world

as it is, you would know

perfect freedom and changeless

peace.

***

Prayer for the Day

Teach me to love all of myself

exactly as I am, for I would know

​such boundless peace.

 

Amen

***

 05/09/2024

Thought for the Day

(Happy Birthday

Swamiji and Margaret)

You are not a mistake, beloved.

 

God doesn't make mistakes.

 

Even the things you despise

most about yourself

were lovingly created

by the Source of all things

for you to learn to love

and make peace with.

 

This is the key to your freedom.

 

This is your reason for

a precious human life.

 

As you bring love and light

to the hard to accept places,

the world shifts right along

with you.

 

As you grow more loving

and accepting, the world 

​does too.

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me accept the me

that I am; hair, guts, feathers

and all.

 

Amen

***

 05/08/2024

Thought for the Day

I would like to ask you

a couple of questions today

and I ask you to reflect deeply

on them and hold them

closely in your heart.

 

Question #1

 

How much of your life

has been centered around

the following belief?

 

If I do/accomplish ____________ then

I will be/feel ___________.

 

Another version of this question 

is "If I do/accomplish __________

then ___________ will love

and accept me.

 

(You fill in your own blankss.)

 

This heart to heart conversation

is nobody's business

but yours and your own

beating heart.

 

Question #2

 

Did it ever work?

 

Did it ever gain you their

approval or make you

feel better about you?

 

Be honest with yourself.

***

Prayer for the Day

Nothing I have ever tried

or achieved has ever worked

at changing me, nor has it

successfully squelched

my feeling incomplete,

bereft of genuine love

and belonging.

 

Perhaps I should consider

this whole loving myself

as I am thing a try.

 

Amen

***

 05/07/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you real eyes that

every experience you have

has been carefully set up

by you in order to avoid feeling

the very feeling that you

dislike most about yourself?

 

This little tidbit of information

gives real meaning to the oft used

colloquialism "saving face."

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me notice lovingly today

when I am being truly genuine

and when I am doing something

for the singular purpose of

feeling better about myself.

 

Amen

***

 05/06/2024

Thought for the Day

The most vital, life-changing

realization that I have had

in the course of my time

on this earth was to finally 

real eyes my purpose.

 

To understand fully why

I am here.

 

I did not come to save the world.

 

The world does not need saving.

 

And I did not come here

to love the world.

 

I came here to learn to love

one person, and to love

that person unconditionally

with every fiber of my being.

 

Who is that person?

 

None other than me.

 

Not just the parts I happen to like

about myself, but especially

the parts that I do not like,

the parts I wish were not there,

purposefully ignore, distract,

myself from facing,

numb myself from and

actively resist.

 

And when that purpose has been

entirely fulfilled, my days

on this planet will be over.

 

For I will no longer have a need

to remain here in a body.

 

This is why we are all here,

beloved.

 

So get to work on receiving

yourself with open arms

and heart.

 

It is entirely life-altering

and peace producing.

 

And when you really and truly

love yourself unconditionally,

that loves seeps out 

to fill the world.

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me be acutely aware

of how I am relating to myself

today, and when kindness

iis not present, let me

receiive myself with

open and unconditionally

loving arms.

 

How present can I be

with myself today?

 

Amen

***

 05/05/2024

Thought for the Day

See how consistently you

can watch your breath

today.

 

I am not actually asking you to

make your breath long, slow,

deep, cleansing, or any other

way in which you may have

been brain-washed into believing

are notable signs of

true breath awareness.

 

Just watch it.

 

Notice the sensations 

in your chect and lower

abdomen when you inhale

and exhale.

 

How does it feel?

 

See if you can observe the fact

that you are not actually breathing.

 

You are being breathed.

 

Who or what is pulling the breath?

 

Be curious about this exploration.

 

Guess what? It is the soul!

 

Your soul, beloved is the ONE

who pulls the breath.

 

What do you notice in sustained

periods of consistent breath

awareness?

 

Never ever forget the fact that

your breath is the only key

to freedom.

 

Freedom and presence

are synonymous.

 

The obvious question thus is,

how earnestly do you long

to recognize and embody

the freedom which is

your natural state?

 

For surely this is not

a difficult feat to accomplish

for anyone who sincerely

wants it.

***

Prayer for the Day

I would recognize the freedom

which is naturally present

whenever and wherever

I make breath awareness

a consistent priority.

 

Amen

***

 05/04/2024

Thought for the Day

No one needs changing,

fixing or healing.

 

You do not need changing,

fixing or healing.

 

Are you the human being

with all of its habits,

patterns, behaviors and

conditioning, or are you

the light which is animating

the human role which

you are playing?

 

You are a Divine Being

and everything is unfolding

in Divine Order.

 

This cannot be spoken

often enough.

 

Why?

 

Because you simply will 

not believe it.

 

And if this is true about you,

which it is, then it is true

about everyone and everything.

 

So what legitimate reason

do you have not to trust

in the perfect unfolding

of your life, the lives of those

whom you love and the world?

***

Prayer for the Day

How about I give myself

and my world a break

today?

 

With nothing bigger

or more important on

my plate than to simply

breathe and relax.

 

Breathe.

Relax.

Accept.

Embrace.

​Trust.

 

Amen

***

 05/03/2024

Thought for the Day

What would your life feel like

if you real eyes'd you were

not the sum total of your experiences

and who you became as a result

of each of them, but rather,

you had been and always will be

the light which has been

passing through each of them

every single instant of your

existence which, btw, is eternal?

***

Prayer for the Day

Now that's a real eye opener.

 

​I am that LIGHT, I am.

 

Amen

***

 05/02/2024

Thought for the Day

If it does not ring of FREEDOM,

if the cost you have to pay is PEACE,

then quietly walk away.

 

It's not worth it.

 

It will only bring you suffering

and self-betrayal in the end.

 

This is the simplest

and most harmonious of codes

by which to live one's life.

 

Can this be difficult unless

one does not really want

to be free?

***

Prayer for the Day

May I always be proud

of the face I behold

in the mirror each day.

 

Help me be me and to

do me in the most genuine

of ways to the very end.

 

Amen

***

 05/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Five magic words you should

tatoo on your brain:

 

"No thank you. I'm busy."

 

To change it up a bit you 

could say, "Thanks, but I can't.

My plate is already full."

 

These six work as well:

 

"You're barkin' up the wrong tree!"

 

Or you could simply go with

"I believe I will listen to

my own inner guru on this one."

 

(A fovorite of Pam's.)

 

And if you need to really set

someone straight you could go

with my dad's favorite:

 

"Opinions are like assholes.

They are only important to the one

who has one."

***

Prayer for the Day

I am a free and autonomous

being.

 

I am not here to live up to

anyone else's expectations.

 

I was born to follow

my own North Star.

 

So don't waste your breath

trying to control me.

It simply will not work.

 

Never has and never will.

 

It is my life I am living

not yours.

 

Amen

***

 04/30/2024

Thought for the Day

In my lifetime, I have found

that the greatest single source

of suffering comes from

conformity, trying to be

like everyone else, rather than

simply, humbly and proudly

being you.

 

Do you really believe

that you can ever find happiness

being a sheep?

 

You came here to be a lion.

 

Let me hear you roar!

***

Prayer for the Day

This is me, world.

 

I am the light which moves

through all of it!

 

Hair, guts, feathers and all.

 

And I'm gonna shine so bright

today you have to wear shades!

 

So grab onto something

you can hold onto

cuz I'm gonna be showing up

full - on - me and you

can bank on it!

 

Amen

***

 04/29/2024

Thought for the Day

Today, I simply ask that

you reflect inwardly on what

it is about you that makes

you want to fit in and belong

so badly,that you are more than

willing to sacrifice your own

wishes, values &integrity

by placing more value

on what someone else thinks

or feels about you than how

you feel about yourself.

 

If you have the courage,

drop me a note and tell me

about it.

 

I sure would like to

understand this one.

 

I really would.

 

Because when I see you,

I see one who is so

incredibly beautiful, shiny,

perfect in every way

and in need of no one's

acceptance or approval.

 

Least of all mine.

 

(But you got it anyway.)

***

Prayer for the Day

Help me clearly see

why it is that I am so resistant

to seeing how precious

I actually am, that I

have been designed

by the Divine to be

as I am, an exquisite

light delivery mechanism

who does the job

flawlessly 24/7.

 

Amen

***

 04/28/2024

Thought for the Day

Allow your innately stubborn

and rebellious nature

to be your North Star.

 

If something doesn't feel right,

it just doesn't feel right.

 

And if something smacks 

of bondage in any form

or degree, turn the other way.

 

Your inner sensitivity

to how something feels

will lead you to your own

innermost being, otherwise

known as the soul or God.

 

You did not come here to

march to the beat of someone

else's drum.

 

You did not come here to

conform; to be a sheep

who only follows where

the masses go, the right house, 

the right car, has the right job,

a perfect body and the 'right'

friends to show for it.

 

You came here to find yourself,

to allow your own heart

to lead you home.

 

Let it.

***

Prayer for the Day

Whose voice could possibly

count more than mine?

 

Let that be the question which

walks in the space before me.

 

And grant me the courage

to dare to listen to

my own beating heart

rather than the voice which

says, "conform, conform,

conform!"

 

Amen

***

 04/27/2024

Thought for the Day

The mold was broken when

God made you

and that is a wonderful thing.

 

So bump it with a trumpet

today.

 

Be loud and proud,

okay?

 

Your light is so bright

I just gotta wear shades!

***

Prayer for the Day

100% me and proud of it.

 

I'm not some brainwashed,

zombie sycophant

who drinks the world's

kool-aide hook,

line & sinker.

 

Amen

***

 04/26/2024

Thought for the Day

You were not born to live

in the fetid and murky

waters of conformity.

 

So find your own unique

way to be you and do you.

 

Because in the end,

you are the only expert

on this entire planet

who knows just what that is;

what it looks like and feels like

to be genuinely you.

 

March to the beat of your

own drum, beloved.

 

Wouldn't you rather love

the face you greet in the mirror

each morning than to have

the accolades of the entire

peanut gallery we refer to

as the world?

 

To Thine Own Self Be True.

 

This is FREEDOM.

 

And as far as I am concerned,

I freely give you without condition

the palette of this entire universe

to do just that, so have at it,

my precious little 1 of 1.

***

Prayer for the Day

I am brilliantly and positively

me through and through.

 

I can be no other way.

 

And I love love love that

about me.

 

i will be me and do me

and I am supremely proud

of that truth.

 

Amen

 

P.S. My commitment to be me

and do me does not hinge

on how you happen to feel

about that.

***

 04/25/2024

Thought for the Day

Today is a day of thorough

self-observation.

Every time you recognize

the experience of suffering,

regardless how subtle

or strong it may happen

to be, I want you to

honestly inquire within:

 

Where am I not telling

myself the truth?

 

How am I not facing

what is true for me

in this moment?

 

There is an acronym I like

to use for the word denial:

 

Don't Even Notice I ALying.

 

Do you possess the courage

to see clearly and end

all of your suffering

once and for all?

It's up to you, dear one.

For the beginning of

radical self-honesty

hallmarks the ending of

the reign of suffering

in your life.

***

Prayer for the Day

I am done with self-deceit.

Whatever it is, at least teach me

what it means to be honest

with myself about my experience.

Amen

***

 04/24/2024

Thought for the Day

I have a sincere and heartfelt
question to ask each of you.


Tell me what your heart
is telling you, be
completely honest with
yourself and me.


And don't worry.


I am not afraid of your answer.
 

If we had grown up

iin an environment where

we learned how to be honest

about our experience,

and if we had also learned

to be gentle, kind and loving

with ourselves in all situations

and circumstances, and if

every single human being

had been raised in this manner

for that matter, would there be

any suffering, misery, inequity,

disharmony, war or cruelty

in this world today?

 

I do not think so.

 

Today I bow before the

most holy feet of the precious

soul who filled this heart

with so much love and joy,

who taught me to be

.a human being and

a pretty darn good one

at that.

 

She  left this earthly vale

at 12:25 AM CST today

and flew HOME to God .

 

She took the form of

a best freind in order to

love me, and today

I return her to God.

 

Thank you for having been

the light of my life.

 

And I honor the pain

as well as the heart full

of love I now feel

because you dained to grace

this world with your

profound presence

for 76 years.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me dare to be

naked and vulnerable

with my experiences,

with this crushing love

I cannot escape

nor would I even try,

because you came

into this life and loved me

for awhile and now dance

among the stars.

And thank you, God,

that LOVE never dies.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

It's not rocker science, guys.

 

How hard is it to be aware

of what is going on

inside of you?

 

Your unique experience =

your truth, the ability to be

present, attentive, loving

and supportive toward you.

 

You came here to deliver

the light  into our world

through your own

unique experience.

 

This is your truth.

 

Doesn't get much simpler

than that.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me live my experience

and be brave enough

to share it with my world.

 

I will no longer hide

​my light under a bushel.

 

Amen

***

 04/22/2024

Thought for the Day

Always remember that it is

never about the so-called other.

 

It is about how I feel

in the presence of the other.

 

Life is literally about

always being aware

of your own inner experience.

 

No one can or does have

any influence over that

but you.

 

That, my dear, is entirely

your creation.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me stay on

my side of the street today.

 

Amen

 04/21/2024

Thought for the Day

Listen to the birds

sing their song of love

to you today.

 

There is a world out there

that has been waiting for you

to let it love you, filling you

with the very light of life.

 

So let the doors to your heart

open wide...and let all the love

both wiithin and without,

find refuge within

your own precious heart.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Let the door to this heart

swing open wide,

providing the love of life

the home wiithin me

that it has been

waiting for.

 

Amen

 04/20/2024

Thought for the Day

.

Beloved, you were not born

to suffer. No one was.

 

Where there is suffering,

you are not telling

the truth.

 

You are not living

your truth.

 

You are denying

yourself the gift of living

in complete alignment

with the soul, not some past

version of you, nor a future

version, but you, sweet you,

exactly as you are now.

 

When you can accept

and love that version of you,

you are entirely free.

 

We are not talking about

some ideal you have concocted 

between your own ears

because someone else

claimed to be an authority

on who and how you

should be.

 

Because where there is freedom,

you are delivering

your own unique truth

into this world,

the truth of your experience,

as it is.

 

Who can challenge what is

true for you when you 

are authentically aligned

with your own True North?

 

This, dear one, is why you

were born.

 

This is what truth is: your truth, 

the truth of your experience.

 

Not someone else's version

of who you should be

or how your life is supposed

to measure up.

 

In the preence of truth,

your willingness to be you

through and through,

truth opens the door

of naked vulnerability.

 

And in the presence of such

vulnerability, you are free

to receive the  outpouring

of grace and to do so

abundantly.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Wherever there is suffering

in my experience, let me

be honest with myself

about where I am

being unfaithful to me

by lying to myself.

 

Amen

***

 04/19/2024

Thought for the Day

.

Find your own unique way

to be you and do you,

beloved.

 

It's your authenticity

that makes you, you.

 

Share your own beautiful

heart as only you can,

for this is how the light

gets uniquely shared

through you

with our world.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me be a bringer

of light as only I can.

 

Amen

 04/18/2024

Thought for the Day

.

What then is freedom?

 

I know that it is something

for which every heart yearns,

but what is ir really?

 

What does it boil down to?

 

Freedom is a naturally

arising state which is

the fruit of being able to

authentically live your own life,

following your own heart,

and no longer placing

any value whatsoeever

on what the people

around you happen to

think or feel about that.

 

All hail to those who march

to the beat of their own drum!

***

 

Prayer for the Day

I give thanks that I

am forever

free.

 

Amen

Thought for the Day

.

You are not God's biggest

mistake.

 

God doesn't make mistakes.

 

You are part of a perfection

which cannot be sullied or

marred in any way.

 

You have always been

on your soul's journey.

 

You have never taken

a wrong turn, made a misstep

or messed a single 

thing up.

 

You have played your part

​perfectly by design.

 

Everything you have ever

felt, thought, said or done

has led you here, has led

you to these words and

this moment.

 

Now I'd call that a miracle.

 

Wouldn't you?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

May the soothing salve

of love saturate every cell

of my being today,

and may I extend this same

grace to all I see

and experience.

 

Amen

***

 04/16/2024

Thought for the Day

.

Take a breath, my dear.

 

Do not despair.

 

Your path was chosen for you

long before time began.

 

Trust in its perfection.

 

Your miracle is awaiting

you.

 

Welcome it.

 

You are not alone

and you never have been.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I will open my heart

to everything and trust

that all is always well.

 

Amen

 04/15/2024

Thought for the Day

Do you have the courage

to love the one you are with

today?

 

You are the only one

you are ever truly with,

my dear, and you are

with yourself 24/7/365.

 

Because truth be told,

what happens in your life

is always a reflection

on how deeply and

consistently you love

and accept yourself.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me grow to be

my own most adoring

and devoted fan.

 

Amen

***

 04/14/2024

Thought for the Day

Why waste time trying to fix,

change or heal the past, when it is

only this precious moment

in which you dwell?

 

The past happened.

 

It's over. There's no changing

what happened.

 

So why allow it to influence

your present?

 

Let it go. Let it go and move on.

 

It is this moment which counts.

 

An idea so grand that

it is worthy of sitting with

today with a sober

and humble heart.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me be fully here

and keep on moving on.

 

Amen

***

 04/13/2024

Thought for the Day

This is the usual scenario.

 

You start to feel icky,

agitated, uncomfortable.

 

Anger, outrage & hurt feelings

are presenting themselves.

 

This is truly interfering

with your peace.

 

Will you hop on that

old familiar hamster wheel

once again?

 

You begin to ruminate on

all the times you have

experienced similar feelings

of pain & discomfort with this

particluar individual or in

situations which were

similar to this.

 

Aaaahhhhaaah!

 

The mind tells you that

the solution is to distance

yourself from the person

or situation.

 

"This is the most loving

and supportive thing to do

for myself."

 

When the real opportunity

is to be deeply present,

to be loving, kind and gentle

with the feelings and the precious

being who is feeling them.

 

Don't get back on

that hamster wheel!

 

Stand in the sunlight

and invite what is here

to receive the gift of grace

along with you.

 

Because the simple truth

is that this is the instant in which

freedom lies waiting for you

to truly show up for yourself
in the biggest way.

 

Beloved, don't forget

why you are here.

 

You were born into this body

and this particular lifestream

so that you could learn to

love yourself and what is

back to unobscurated light.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me to truly be here

for myself in the largest

of ways today and every

day.

 

Avoiding nothing.

 

​Embracing everything.

 

Amen

***

 04/12/2024

Thought for the Day

Choose to live consciously.

 

Accept what comes as part

of your soul's journey.

 

Always remember that

you are a Divine Being

and you always have been.

 

Trust that everything is always

unfolding in Divine Order.

 

This is the essence of peace

and a life of FREEDOM

and joy which is

filled to overflowing.

In other words, the natural

state.

Your natural state of being.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the life

\which it is

my great good fortune

to live.

 

Amen

***

 04/11/2024

Thought for the Day

Here is a very simple distillation

of the meaning of life...

 

Trust the life which is yours

to live.

 

Trust every single bit of it.

 

Every experience offers you

the gift of FREEDOM

if you are willing to receive it.

 

Every single instant is

an opportunity to resist

or accept.

 

One way of experiencing

brings the experience

of suffering, while the other

offers you the GIFT of peace.

 

The choice is the only thing

​which is up to you.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me trust the life

which is mine to live.

 

Amen

***

 04/10/2024

Thought for the Day

 

The totality of all that God is

is equally present

within everything that is.

 

Everyone and everything

always has this same 

Infinite potential available

to them in its entirety

in every moment of their lives.

 

Thus, you are the only one

who can place limitations

upon yourself.

 

Look at some of the countless

beings who found complete

liberation in the midst

of some pretty difficult

situations and experiences.

 

Etty Hillesum, Viktor Frankl,

Mata Amritanandamayi, and

Ramana Maharshi to name a few.

 

There is nothing broken, wrong

or missing in you, nor in 

anyone else for that matter.

 

If you have the same access

to the Infinite that everyone has.

 

Why hide your light

under a bushel?

 

Why continue to limit yourself?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

As I go about the business

of living my life today,

help me remember

that the Infinite dwells

unceasingly within me.

 

Something so much bigger

and wiser will live me today 

if I consciously let it.

 

Amen

***

 04/09/2024

Thought for the Day

 

Every single part of you

is worthy of kindness,

worthy of your understanding,

your acceptance,

your unconditional love 

and inclusivity.

 

What would happen

in this world if we could

recognize the same innate

inviolability and sanctity

in everyone and everything?

 

What if we could see,

feel and experience it

in Mother Earth as well?

 

Would not this world

shift on its axis

in the space between

two heart beats made

consciously one?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me remain so inclusive

of everything today

that I experience no problems

or obstacles.

 

God is in everything.

 

God is in everyone.

 

Amen

***

 04/08/2024

Thought for the Day

 

Let's talk about

some inconvenient truths,

shall we?

 

No one is going to come

to save you.

 

No one is going to come

and rescue you.

 

The siutation is as it is.

 

You are the way you are.

 

And they are the way they are.

 

No one needs fixing, healing

or changing.

 

It is time to stop projecing

your own incompletions

onto your world and playing

victim

 

If you didn't already have

a button, old wounds

from the past prior to this happening,

nothing could disturb your peace.

 

There is a good reason why

things are unfolding as they are.

 

It is time for you to pull yourself

up by the bootstraps

and save yourself.

 

Clear Seeing paves the way.

 

It is the light strewn path

upon which you walk to

FREEDOM.

 

You are the only one who can

do this for yourself

and that is what you came here

to do.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Grant me the courage

to let the chips fall

where they may

and follow in the steps

where my heart leads,

doing what I came here

to do.

 

Amen

***

 04/07/2024

Thought for the Day

 

ONENESS is an all-inclusive

state of being, an all-inclusiver

relationship with nothing

short of e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

 

Let this be the thought

which walks in the space

before you today.

 

And let it guide you 

to the thought which says,

"This too is part of me."

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me both remember

and experience this day

that all that I meet,

all that I interact with

and everyone and everything

I touch is none other than

my Self.

 

And then may I treat it

with the loving-kindness and TLC

of which it is forever worthy,

being forever part of me.

 

Amen

***

 04/06/2024

Thought for the Day

 

Watch yourself carefully

and objectively today.

 

Can you see the difference

between responses which

come from your programming

and your conditioning,

response that feel inauthentic

to you, from responses which

feel genuinely authentic

to you because they are

completely aligned with

what is true for you?

 

Which you rather follow?

 

The world's version of normal

so that you can fit in, or

or would it feel better

to follow your own

beating heart?

 

Does the world leave you

feeling empty, hollow and sad?

 

Are you ready for more?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

The world leaves me

so bleak, so barren,

so numb and without

hope.

 

When was the last time

that I felt genuinely happy

for no reason at all?

 

I yearn for the real.

 

This heart aches to touch

something real, to feel

whole again instead of some

broken down and lost

​version of myself.

 

Today I run toward

my destiny and all that

God has in store for me.

 

Amen

***

 04/05/2024

Thought for the Day

Here is the simplest

of all truths....

 

You do not need to be

anyway other than

how you are right now

in order to have

it all.

 

You don't even have to

believe or accept this

for it to be true.

 

You simply have to

allow it.

 

You, as you are, beloved,

are the key which unlocks

the treasure trove

of the universe.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I peacefully

and lovingly accept

myself as I am.

 

I am grateful for me,

and most importantly,

I am grateful to be me.

 

Amen

***

 04/04/2024

Thought for the Day

How much more peaceful

and simpler would your life be

if you could simply accept as gospel

that everything that happens

and the way that it happens

is by Divine Design?

 

What would your life then

feel like?

 

Lay your weapons down.

 

The battle is over.

 

God's got this.

 

Everything, and I do mean

everything, is unfolding

exactly as it should.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Today I will yield to

the unfolding of life

and consciously choose

to trust what is.

 

Amen

***

 04/03/2024

Thought for the Day

In the end, what does

being willing to receive

actually mean?

 

It means finally allowing

yourself to be the love

that you are.

 

Everything in your life

is by Divine design,

beloved.

 

Can you open your heart

and your entire being

to all that you are,

can you cease holding

love at bay?

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me realize

that no part of me

or my life 

is a mistake.

 

I am the way I am

by Divine design.

 

I am supposed to be

me exactly as I am.

 

I am the perfect vehicle

for giving love expression

in this life as only me

and my life, as it is,

can do..

 

For this I bow

in profound awe

and humble gratitude.

 

Today I say yes 

to my life.

 

Amen

***

 04/02/2024

Thought for the Day

Only you can provide

yourself the safety, the

security, love and comfort

for which your heart

both yearns and searches

and has done so all

of your days.

 

And when you finally

give yourself this GIFT,

which only you can do,

you will wield a power

in this world which is

invincible.

 

It is not anyone else's job

to appreciate you,

to value you, to love

and respect you.

 

It is yours.

 

And that is precisely why

you have never really

found it.

 

You have been running

from yourself, my dear.

 

Which means that

you have been looking

in the wrong place

all along.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Help me real eyes

that I am the doorway

to the FREEDOM for which

my heart yearns.

 

Amen

***

 04/01/2024

Thought for the Day

Self-inquiry does not

and cannot involve

thought.

 

Many mistake reflection

and silent deliberation

for inquiry, but they

are not the same.

 

One cannot inquire

through thought.

 

Why?

 

Because one cannot

transcend the mind

with the mind.

 

True self-inquiry relies

upon searching or looking for 

that which lies beyond

thought and upon feeling.

 

It relies on direct

experience.

 

Direct experience

is the conscious contact

with  that which lies beyond

what words could ever

communicate through

language.

***

 

Prayer for the Day

Thank you for the GIFT

of presence.

 

Amen
