Don’t get down and depressed over life;

Have confidence and faith in Divine Love;

If you don’t know what to do, be still and quiet;

You will find how remarkably conditions will work out for you if you will stop fretting about them;

So much tangle is made by your eagerness and impatience to move forward;

Be still and trust in your Creator;

Then crooked places will be made straight.

Withhold judgment and criticism;

The human way is to judge in haste the actions of others;

The divine way is to remain quiet and loving;

You are divine as well as human;

And you are here on earth to learn how to become divine.

Sometimes friends, family, and others disappoint us;

Maybe our expectations are too high, and we’re not allowing enough latitude;

After all, people are human and subject to err;

It makes us long for something constant – something that is constantly good and unwavering;

That actually exists if we are willing to believe and have faith;

It’s so satisfying and a relief to know that there is something we can latch onto that is constantly good and unwavering and doesn’t disappoint.

Does it feel like life is racing by at a fast pace?

Does it seem that each time we look in the mirror, we see an older face?

Is there any way to slow it down?

A lot of it has to do with what’s happening inside our minds;

I don’t think that time is going by any faster than it ever did;

But sometimes it just seems that way because of our lifestyles;

It helps me to find a quiet spot where I can be alone to think my thoughts;

Meditation helps me to slow my mind down;

And attempting to keep my mind in the present is very important;

I try to remember to “live in the present and never judge it as being good or bad.”

We are much more willing to work from our hearts than for money;

When we volunteer for something, we’ve already made a commitment to it;

The work that follows is just a logical conclusion of a previously made decision;

When we do the work of the Creator, great rewards will follow;

We only have to take the next steps required of us, and life follows.

 

I entered life as a volunteer.  My work is just a follow-up.

 

Bruce Stewart, Maori Elder

The needs for food, water, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other basic needs could easily be met for every person on the planet, if it were not for the imbalance of resources created by the insane greed of some people’s ego;

The huge corporations’ only blind aim is profit, pursued with absolute ruthlessness;

Nature, animals, people, and even their employees are lifeless objects to be used and discarded;

As long as you don’t recognize those thought forms within yourself, you will believe in what they say;

When those thought forms operate, no possession, place, person, or condition will ever satisfy you;

No matter what you have or get, you’ll never be satisfied;

You will always be looking for something else that promises greater fulfillment;

It is not until you look beyond this and seek a higher calling that your life will become meaningful;

You must put “things” in their proper perspective, and realize that true happiness comes from the spiritual.

 

Eckhart Tolle

Avoid allowing emotions to dominate reason in your thinking process;

Some people say, “I feel I should do this;”

If the feeling comes from emotions that have dominated your thinking and behavior, then don’t do it;

If by “feeling” you are attempting to describe an intuitive awareness of what should be done, then go forward;

Cultivate your powers of discriminative intelligence and discern the difference between compulsive urges or whims and intuitive insight.

 

Roy Eugene Davis

I teach a meditation where you are caused to realize yourself two years in the future as the perfect person – the best you can be;

After fully realizing yourself as that person, you must travel back to the present where all necessary changes can be made;

All decisions made afterwards should be aligned with what it will take to make you that perfect person in two years;

This exercise will enhance your life and make you a much better person.

 

K.J.Stewart

You might not think that one person can make a difference, but you have the power to help the whole world;

What you can do is waiting in your own heart every day;

The greatest service that anyone can give is to continually think aright;

Continually send forth the love and always be willing to forgive.

 

White Eagle

If you wish to serve adequately and become as good a person as you can be in this lifetime, you must make sacrifices;

You must sacrifice your uncontrolled desires, and you must make sacrifices of yourself;

Many of those who have become masters have even sacrificed life itself;

There is no true service without sacrifice;

You may shrink from it, but you cannot alter the law of life;

You must first fill your heart with love, not only for yourself, but for all living beings and for the whole earth;

Realize that you are one with everything;

Then all of your service and all of your sacrifices will bring you such joy, you will not feel that it is a sacrifice.

I’m leaving today with our hiking group for Italy.  We are going to hike 5 villages from one to the other.  Google Cinque Terra, then pull up Wikipedia, and look at the pictures.  It should be a fun trip.  I’m really excited about it.

Be back on Saturday, Oct 10^th.

Take good care,

Love,

Tom
