I Believe God Wants You To Know!!!!

That everything you see, hear, touch, taste, smell, or sense in any way is an aspect of Divinity. It is when you judge it to be something else that it shows up as something else in your life. Therefore, judge not,and neither condemn. For that which you judge, judges you; and that which you condemn will condemn you. Yet that which you see for what it really is will see you for what you really are. And there in will be found your peace.

-That there is only one way to go, and that's up.I know that it is possible for life to look, sometimes, as if it's going down hill, as if everything is falling apart. But consider this: When life is 'falling apart' things could actually be falling together...maybe for the first time.Try to not see things that are not there -- and do not fail to see things that are...

-Today can be the Best Day of Your Life So Far. And it will be if you choose to see everything in your life today as a miracle. That includes the growing of the grass, the passing of a cloud, the smile on another's face...and the beating of your own heart. Live the miracle that is Life today, and do not worry about "bad omens." Remember, nothing is evil, lest thinking make it so.

-That your kindness has been observed -- and, more than observed, deeply appreciated -- by another. Sometimes it may feel as if we go through life and nobody notices any of the "good" things we do, only the "bad." It may seem that way, but this is not true. Why, this very moment someone thought of you, and of a kindness you have done. Your soul may have even tingled a little just now.(It does that when it receives good energy.) So keep sending out those kindnesses, my friend. You are becoming known for them...

-That Life is conspiring in your favor.It may not always look that way, but it is, I assure you. Everything that is happening, is happening just the way it must, in order for you to have the opportunity to create the experience of your Self for which you yearn. The idea behind all of this is to give you a chance to become and to know, at the highest level, Who You Really Are. This is God Work we are up to, you and I. So keep on.

-That morning comes every day; the sunrise does not fail, nor the sunset. Give it time. That is all that may be required. Just give it time. Do not try to push the river. The cycles of life present themselves, play themselves out, and make smooth every passage and terrain.Try not to get caught up in your story of the moment.Look, rather, to the Long Story. There in will be found your peace. The cycles will redeem this moment, if you let them, and even this shall pass.

-That when you pray for anyone, you tend to modify your personal attitude toward them.Norman Vincent Peale said that, and he touched on something truly profound. If someone is vexing you right now, say a prayer for that person. Send them all of your best energies. Nothing changes the environment like one person deciding to love another, no matter what.

-That you've got to have a dream if you want to have a dream come true.So specify your dream; clarify and quantify your vision. Do not aim for a target that you cannot see. And don't you dare reduce your dream to its smallest component.Enlarge it to its biggest. You can have that. You can.

-That you are valued more than you know, by more people than you think. It might be good to get in touch today with your true worth. It is much higher than you often give it credit for being and now is a perfect time to know, and to gently assert, that fact. This is not about arrogance and it is not about over confidence. It is about a simple, dignified Knowing.

-That you must be willing to lose it all before you can have it all.What does this mean? It means that until you can let go of everything, you will find it hard to hold onto anything. Detachment is the key. If you are so attached to something that you are deeply unhappy without it, then you are not simply attached, you are addicted.

-That it is not necessary to "prove yourself" to anyone. Do your best. That's all you can ask of yourself. If you did your best and things just didn't work out, you don't owe an apology to anyone. And you certainly don't need to feel 'bad' about it -- or, worse yet, guilty. Stop beating yourself up. What happened is what happened. You're not the 'villain' here, I promise. It's just what happened. And there is a Soul Reason, I promise you.

-That there's more where that came from.This is a key teaching; a most important message. The goodness of the Universe is not limited. When something "looks as if" it is running out, do not fret. This, or something better, is on its way. Sufficiency is the natural order of things. Good never runs out -- although it may change form.

-That there is no 'right way' to do anything, there is only the way you are doing it. Never be afraid to "try your hand" because you don't want to might make a mistake or not do somerthing "right." Success in life comes from being willing to move into Unchartered Territory. Always remember: Life begins at the end of your Comfort Zone.

-That you are perfect just the way you are. Yes, yes, I know...you and I have lots of the same judgments about ourselves. But you know what? God holds none of these judgments.If you saw yourself as God sees you, you would smile a lot. So smile. And go forth now into your day, sharing the wonder of Who You Are and who you now choose to be. For we are blessed in you.

-That you are innocent. You are blameless. You are without foible or fault of any kind. I know you do not believe this about yourself, but do you believe this of the three-year-old beautiful child? And what makes you think that you are anything less in the eyes of God?

-That not to decide is to decide. Letting something go until it "decides itself" is Life by Default. You don't want to live that way. So choose. Choose right now. Stop worrying about what you can "lose" or how you can "win" and just follow your joy. Where does your joy say you should go?

-That impatience will get you nowhere, fast. If you insist on being in a hurry, you'll move very quickly -- and often get nowhere. Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don't require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.

-That thinking the highest thought is the safest mental exercise. Do not be tempted to think the smallest thought or to lower your expectations so that anything above that will be considered a "win" for you. You will have already lost... Your safety will not be found in working hard to avoid disappointment, but in hardly working to produce more and more life. Aim high. Ride easy. Trust God.

-That independence is your soul's natural state, and Freedom is another name for God. The Divine is that which is totally free, all the time. Nothing constricts It, nothing limits It, nothing stops It or prohibits It or denies It in any way. You are exactly the same. Your soul is nothing more than an Individuation of Divinity...and it is absolutely nothing less. Act as if you are divinely free today -- and watch your life change.

-That disappointment is your thought that God doesn't know what God is doing. That, of couse, is impossible. So try to not be disappointed in anything.Know that life is showing up perfectly in every moment. Today's disappointment could be tomorrow's spring board to all that you've ever wanted. In fact, it probably is.

-That life will resolve itself in the process of life itself. Let the moment play itself out. Try to not push the river. Life knows what It has in mind. Trust Life. It is on your side. Do you know how I know? You are still here. How much more proof do you need?

-That without knowing who you are and why you are here, life has no meaning. Seek, then, to study the questions. Work to experience the grandest answers. Who You Are is an Individuation of Divinity. Why you are here is to demonstrate that. Today is going to offer you a perfect chance to do that. Watch. Listen. Before the end of this day, you will have a chance to be Divine. Indeed, someone is counting on you to.

-That the fastest way to learn something is to teach it. Do not wait, therefore, until you "know all about it" or have "mastered" what you wish to share before you begin to share it. The world needs more of what you wish to learn more of. So teach. Share. Help others. And do not worry so much about what you "don't know." Worry about what you don't do. Because you are robbing us while you are waiting to become an "expert."

-That rushing around to fix everything, or to "get ready,"is not going to do you more good. Move resolutely, but don't rush. There's a difference.Rushing removes resolution, often replacing it with panic or irrationality or, at best, not well thought-out choices. So keep moving. Don't stop. But don't rush. Don't race around. Sure and steady gets you there every time.

-That your security is guaranteed through the sharing of your love. The peace and safety for which you yearn is not a matter of food, clothing, and shelter. It is a matter of love. Love and be loved, and all else will be added unto you. The world will perform its magic when you step into yours. That is the promise of God, and it will be kept.

-That the events of this very day will move you closer to God. That is what they were designed to do, and you will experience them doing just that if you will allow yourself to. It is all a matter of opening your eyes to what is really happening (as opposed to what it looks like is happening). Judge not by outward appearances.

-That earthly possessions are not what you came here to gather. Do not worry about your earthly possessions. Place your attention on your heavenly goal--the evolution of your soul--and you will find peace even while on earth.-That fear is one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

-That life is about your soul, not about your body and not about your mind. Most people work hard to keep the body happy. Then they seek to stimulate their mind. Then...if there is time...they look after their soul. Yet the most beneficial priority has it just the other way around. When was the last time you paid attention to your soul?

-That imagination is your greatest gift. Do not be afraid to use it.Imagine yourself as being okay right now. Totally okay. Imagine yourself as Whole, Complete, and Perfect. With nothing to change, nothing to "improve." Imagine your heart as being open again, your life as if it were starting over in the most important ways. Can you imagine this? Then you have just created Tomorrow.

-That there are no guarantees in life...except that all things happen for God's best reason.If you need to know in advance that everything will "work out" before you jump in, you'll never jump into anything. Yet "jumping in" is life's greatest excitement, its grandest adventure. Don't deny yourself that. Just go for it. Trust that Life will bring you benefit no matter what happens.

-That no effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you "wasted your time" because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as "waste" in the Universe. Everything -- everything --yields benefit.It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the "effort that failed." All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet.

-That he who eats till he is sick must fast till he is well. That is a Hebrew proverb, and it has to do with a lot more than food. Look to see what behaviors you are indulging in over and over again that are clearly not serving you. Then, go on a "bad habit diet." I mean it. I'm not kidding, Pick one bad habit, one bad behavior, a day for five days. You can do this. Stop doing the stuff you're doing that obviously does not serve you--or others.

-That you have only just begun to discover your magnificence.This period of your life marks a New Beginning. You can feel it. And you have only just begun to know the treasure and the glory of You. And you have only just begun to make your Real and Lasting Contribution.So step into this day with zest and zeal! Go now and give your gift. We're all waiting for you. And we need the wonder of Who You Are.

-That you can be happy right here, not tomorrow, notin ten minutes, but now. You can be happy right now. Byron Katie said that, and she is right. Happiness is allowing yourself to be okay with what is, rather than wishing for, and bemoaning, what is not.Obviously, what is is what is supposed to be, or it would not be. The rest is just you, arguing with life. Somewhere along the way you will have to learn to just Trust Life. (Read that, "Trust God.") Why notstart today?

-That it is better to do now what you will have to do eventually. You know, right now, what you will have to do eventually. Your stomach is telling you right now. You just don't want to have to listen to it; don't want to believe it. Believe it. The tummy knows. How many times in your life must you prove this to yourself?

-That betrayal of yourself in order not to betray another is betrayal nonetheless. It is the Highest Betrayal. You are not avoiding betrayal by betraying yourself, you are merely choosing whom to betray. In fact, there is no such thing as "betrayal." There is only the truth, finally spoken. That is not betrayal at all. That is love. For another, and for yourself. Can you love that much?

-That any frustration you have is simply the result of wrong thinking. If you were thinking rightly you could not possibly imagine that anything was going 'wrong.' You would know that nothing in the Universe is working against you. By definition, given Who You Are, this is impossible. Move, then, to gratitude when you encounter your frustrations. And see every event as an Opportunity.

-That you will benefit enormously if you simply strive to be a good person. Strive to live rightly. This will not always be easy. It will require real work, real dedication, real commitment to the Journey of Your Soul. Yet in the end, I trust in God that it will be so very worth it, for the reward is Self Realization. To know the Self as Who You Really Are is the goal and the opportunity of each lifetime. To expand your definition of that is the invitation.

-That Freedom is Who You Are. 'Freedom' is but another word for 'God.' It has been difficult to find words in human language to describe That Which God Is, but 'Freedom' is one of them. Another word to describe God is...You. You and God are One. Therefore you, too, are Free. Free to make choices, free to select your reactions and responses to life, free to be your authentic Self.

-That love tolerates human foibles, faults, and failings. When someone does something you don't like, try toleration. Tell them in your nicest way that you do not feel good about what occurred or what was said,but try hard not to cold-shoulder them, and block them out of any warm connection with you. All you teach them by that is to be afraid of you – by making them afraid of losing you...or at least the warmth of their connection with you. This is, of course, what some people say God does to us... Give people the same break you would like God (and other people, for that matter) to give you.

-That the most dramatic conflicts are perhaps, those that take place not between men but between a man and himself. Author Mark Moustakas said that, and he was right. If we can win the struggle within -- the struggle that Muslims call jihad -- we can win this human race.What are you battling with right now? What unwanted habit? What undesireable behavior? What old pattern?Claim victory over these, and your entire life can change.

-That a hunch is angel talk, and probably should not be ignored. Listen to your hunches, pay attention to your intuition, do not dismiss your random thoughts, inspirations or ideas. Heaven talks in snippets, not in speeches. Angels whisper fast. They have to when they're flying around...Honor your Hints from Heaven. They could be giving you the best advice you ever had.

-That being "right" has nothing to do with it. The idea that you call "right" is the idea that someone else calls "wrong." The solution that you call "perfect" is the solution that another calls "unworkable." The position that you feel is unassailable is the very position that others assail. What will solve all of this? Not attack, that's for sure. And not defense, either. So what is left? Simple human love. The kind of love that says, "It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. It only matters that you are not hurt. And that we both can benefit. All true benefits are mutual."

-That "Why is this happening?" is the most useless question in the Universe. The only really profitable question is, "What?" As in, "What do I choose now?" This question empowers. The "why" question simply perplexes, and rarely satisfies even when it gets a good answer. So don't try to "figure it out." Stop it. Just focus on what you now wish to create. Keep moving forward. There's nothing behind you that can possibly serve you better than your highest thoughts about tomorrow.

-That if you're doing something for someone else's approval, you may as well not do it at all.There is only one reason to do anything: to announce and declare, express and fulfill, become and experience Who You Really Are. Do what you do, therefore, for the sheer joy of it,for sheer joy is who you are. Do what you choose,not what someone else chooses for you.

-That if you ask an impertinent question, you are on the way to a pertinent answer. Therefore, never be afraid to ask the question that it seems shouldn't matter. Especially if it has to do with religion or God. The question! Always live within the question!" It is when you think you have all the answers that expansion ends, growth stops, and your arrogance begins.

-That life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. So before you think, do, or say anything -- imagine what it would be like to receive what you are sending. Then, go one step further. Decide ahead of time what you would like to receive...and then send it. Quite deliberately. That is, give to, or cause in the life of,another what you would like to now experience. Then...watch the magic.-That nothing good is ever created by deception. Not even the smallest untruth, not even the most well-intended "white lie," will produce benefit in the long run. So tell your truth as soon as you know it. Yes, yes, I know...."But then...but then..." So you'll have to decide which of the "But then's" you want. There will always be a "But then." Yet shall it be one you endure, or one you create? If it's control you want, telling the truth puts you in total control. Ever think of that?

-That you were created to create -- not to react. Creation is the highest form of Divinity, and your birthright. Truth is, you are creating all the time. The central question in your life is whether you aredoing this consciously or unconsciously. Conscious creation is what is needed now. Stop moping. And stop thinking negative thoughts. Just get on with it! Tomorrow awaits your choice as to how its going to be. Call the shots! Make it happen! You're in charge here.

-That this is not the end, but the beginning. All endings start something better. It is inevitable. Here is God's promise: Life proceeds, it never recedes. Life progresses, it never regresses. Not even death ends anything, so how much can this particular event matter? It is true. When one door closes, another does open.The movement of life is ever upward. Six months from today you will know this. For now, trust it.

-That nothing is ever solved, or created, by standing still. Movement is the process of the Universe. So move. Do something. Anything. But do not stand still. Do not remain"on the horns of a dilemma." Do not fence sit. Put your foot down on one side or the other, swing the opposite leg over and start walking. You'll know before you take ten steps if you're going in the right direction. Not to decide is to decide. Try to not make choices by default.

-That the next step is the most important step. Take it now. Do not wait. Life is not going to come down there and sprinkle glitter dust on your shoulders to let you know that you are Good... or that you are walking the Right Path... or that you are making the Best Decision. Take the next step. Right now. Stop waiting for a "sign" from the "gods." Your sign is your intuition, wrapped in your desire. Hesitation is not a stopping place on the road to heaven.

-That everything is perfect Right Here, Right Now. And Right Here Right Now is all there is. Forget about the past. It does not exist, except in your memory. Drop it. And stop worrying about how you're going to get through tomorrow. Life is going on Right Here, Right Now -- pay attention to that and all will be well. Embrace the present moment with gratefulness and wonder, and you will turn it into whatever you have been waiting for.

-That the acknowledgment of your weakness is the first step in repairing your loss. Sometimes this is the hardest thing for people to do. Yet self-truth and truth with others about where you have fallen short almost ensures that you will go a long way. Everyone cansee you anyway, why not admit what everyone is seeing? You cannot let go of anything if you cannot notice that you are holding it. Admit your 'weaknesses' and watch them morph into your greatest strengths.

-That the day of your birth was a wonderful day for all who now know you -- and even for all of humanity. Why? Because you are so incredibly special. Because you are Love, personified. Wisdom, expressed. Caring and Compassion, demonstrated. Courage, revealed. Because you are Humanity At Its Best. They don't get any better than you. Truly. And if you do not know this, then you do not know Who and What You Are. So today, create a way to know that. (By creating a way to show that...)

-That this is not a day for remembering violence, but for memorializing your decision to heal every wound that could cause it. There is one question that no one will ask of those who use violence to make their point: What hurts you so bad that you feel you have to hurt me in order to heal it? This does not condone violence, but it can help us to understand it -- and to understand how to stop it. CwG says, "No one does anything inappropriate, given their model of the world." Embracing the wisdom in those eleven words could change the course of human history.

-That today is the day for your marriage; the marriage of your heart, mind, and soul with your Other. Everyone has an Other on this planet. And not only one, but many. Finding that person becomes easier when you are willing to show your self, fully and completely. Then your Others will be able to see themselves in you. How can you find your Other if they cannot find you? And how can they find you if you are always hiding?

-That you are slaves to whatever you don't understand. So do not avoid hearing, or even studying, other points of view. Indeed, do so rigorously. The more that you oppose something, the more you will benefit from looking into it deeply -- with an open mind, not cynically.

-That you should always have your hook baited. In the pool you least think, there will be a fish. Ovid, the Greek poet, said that, and he was right. You never know when and where your next miracle will appear. So be ready. Be open. Be cheerful, receptive, even expectant. And do not limit the shape and size in which your miracle can come. Sometimes the smallest keys turn the biggest locks. So be on the lookout today. Be ready. You asked for some help, and you're going to get it.

-That the unexpected is waiting for you. And it contains great good. Our next insight, our next opening, our next opportunity often comes when we least expect it. Never think for a moment that "the game is over." It is not. Just when all the chips are down, the chins should be up. So...chin up. This round may not have gone well, but I promise you, this is not the last word.
