Being Who You Are

When you find work that feeds your soul, you are coming closer to yor essential reason for being in this life. Your essential work might not be how you earn a living, but when the two are one, your life can be joyous and fulfilling. When you find work that makes your heart sing, you will pass on the knowledge that being yourself, using your unique talents and learning, is a path to wholeness. Being who you are in the world is priceless.

Peace Is the Answer

Please remember, peace is the answer. Peace. Peace in your heart, in your mind, in your words, and in your actions. Your great teacher Martin, honored on this day, is a shining example. A human being, with all that implies, who stood for peace and justice in spite of the danger to himself. He, indeed as many of you suspected, foretold his death. He knew when he gave that famous speech that he would not see his work come to fruition. He is with you still in spirit and is a wonderful example to all. You don't have to be perfect to do good work. You don't have to be flawless to be a conduit of peace. Simply begin.

You Are an Artist

Every single one of you has an ability to express yourself artistically. Every single one. Stop worrying about the quality of the work. Just experiment and enjoy the process. Pour your soul into a song, a painting, a sculpture, a garment, a garden. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and the beauty of art is in the process of making it. What happens afterward is, at the soul level, irrelevant. Just try it. Have some fun!

Move On

Meet each other in acceptance and compassion. Whatever is going on for the other person, he is on his path. Do not judge or blame. However, you need not be a victim of the other person's struggle. You can love him, wish him well, accept and have compassion for him, and still decide that his energy is not what you want around you. It's perfectly okay to separate yourself from that person while he struggles through. Send up prayers, think of him as healing, picture him peaceful and content. And move on.

Many Lifetimes

Please know that you have been through the birth and death process many many times. For some of you, thousands and thousands of times. Allowing in this knowledge helps to put everything in perspective. Allowing memories of other lifetimes, other bodies, other places helps you to release any burdens carried over, any unexplained physical complaints. Through these so-called past life memories, your present focus can become clearer and more joyful. I say "so-called" because in our perspective, the world of spirit, there is no past, present or future. It is only in the physical realm where these concepts are relevant. That is why you can change your experience in any of your other incarnations at any time. This is how you re-write history. Kathie knows of this from a personal experience. Ask her about it.

Enjoy Every Day

Dance, dance, dance. Laugh and sing the day awy. Find something that brings a smile to your face. Believe in the beauty and joy which is all around you. Play. Why not enjoy every day? Whyever not?

Be an Ever-Flowing River of Love

Gather unto yourself all that your heart desires. Gather unto yourself all that the universe has to offer. Gather unto yourself all that your are capable of. And then give back generously and with your whole heart into the world. Be a conduit, a channel, an ever-flowing river of love, protection, peace, laughter and joy. Receive with appreciation, give with humility. There lies bliss.
