The Limitless Experience

Every day you experience some form of connection with spirit. It helps to notice. Every time the phone rings and you know who it is before picking up, every time you think of someone and then pass that person on the street, every time you have a "feeling" and follow it through to some surprising discovery -- these are moments of spirit. The more you notice them the more they will come to you You might start a journal of these occurrences, or just be sure to tell a friend whenever they happen. You will find yourself more and more open to spirit, and that connection will serve you in many, many ways. Be as open as air to the limitless experience.

Be Loving and Kind

Be loving and kind always. Begin by being loving and kind to yourself. Under stress, get a sense of how old you feel. Maybe you're feeling like a scared 3-year-old. Allow your adult self to give that beautiful little three-year-old exactly what he needs: calm, safety, freedom to explore, reasonable limits. Maybe you are feeling like a rebellious teenager. Allow that teenager to express all the complicated feelings she is having. Don't deny or minimize any of them. Then help her sort out the best move to make. You can always call on your centered adult self to be charge in any situation.

Stand in the Light

It is important to stand up for yourself -- to take your rightful place in the world. It is entirely possible to do this with love and acceptance of all those around you, and with no attachment to any particular response from them. Their reaction is their own business, not yours, and as long as you act in kindness and calm, you will be fine, whatever others do. Take your space, stand in the light, and spread love.

Your Deepest Heart of Hearts

Before you come to any conclusion, relax and go into your heart. Whatever you are making a judgment on has many aspects. This is always true. From your heart, the decisions you make are likely to be for your highest good. That is, from your deepest heart of hearts. Not from your passions or desires of the moment. Take your time. Nothing has to happen right now.

Create the Life You Want

You must recognize that the world you see around you is the world created by your consciousness -- the worrld created by our universal consciousness which is all that is. When you recognize that fact, you can relax about what is going on right now. "Oh! Look what I've created now! Do I want to stick with it, or move on?" Focus on what's good and life-affirming. Life-affirming. LIFE-affirming. Create joy, contentment, gratitude, pleasure, peace, harmony. Create the life you want.
