What's the big deal?

Why is everyone so stirred over this war in Iraq? It's not like we haven't killed before.

Just look at how little concern we have for our own lives. We're killing ourselves at an astonishing rate. Look at the heart attack and cancer death rates. Not to mention the numbers we kill on our streets. Or the slow deaths we suffer at the hands of loved ones whose cutting words sap the life out of us. The list goes on and on.

Killing is all we know how to do. Roberta Flack had it right. We're killing us softly with our song of violence upon ourselves and each other. So why should Iraq get a free pass?

Besides, it keeps El Presidente busy so he can't do any real harm here in our country. That's good enough for us, isn't it?

An exercise in letting go

What would happen if you let go of your thoughts and the things you want to put your attention on? Not to ignore them, but to assign them equal priority with everything else in life? To simply experience whatever comes, without trying to direct it somewhere else?

Reincarnation

What if this were not your only lifetime? What if you had lived before? Many people believe that they have. Some have memories they cannot attribute to the events of their current life. Others just a feeling of "been there, done that."

But what if you have? Does that change the way you see or live this one? Does it raise another question, like, "If this isn't my first/only life, what is the meaning of this one? Could the experiences life's bringing be more than random events?

These are the questions that come as we travel the path of the soul's awakening. Where life takes on a greater purpose than just getting through the day. Are you ready to find that meaning? And know your own way to assimilate the unique set of experiences that make up your life?

This is your journey. Won't you join us?

A Matter of Faith

Sometimes we just have to act on faith, following the inner voice no matter what our thoughts, fears, or self-interests say otherwise. It's not easy, at least at first. But the more you realize there's a light that shines even in the darkness, it gets a little easier to take that step.

Right now we're having one of those moments here in South Florida. The whispers of my soul are carrying the day. Telling me to trust in Providence, that my willingness to follow its guidance and risk the oncoming storm is more important than life itself. And funny, my family agrees.

Come this time tomorrow I may be singing a different tune. But I trust my inner voice -- and the power from which it speaks -- will carry me through. Just as I hope you will have faith to follow your inner voice if you should face difficult days ahead.

Go with love.

What's in it for ME?

Isn't that what we all want to know? What's in it for us? Doesn't much matter what "it" is. It seems a fact of life that there's always a component of self-interest. Whether it's for money. Fame. Good feelings. Whatever. It's a given.

So, if we do good for others, what's in it for us? Sure, there are good feelings. But is that all? Is there something more that comes with living the Golden Rule?

I've got my ideas, but that's not important at the moment. What matters is what's right for your experience of this life. Your inner master knows. Go inside. Find out for yourself.

Hint: When you do, you won't have to choose between serving them and serving you any more.

Allowing the Moment

When you allow all things to be as they are created (including yourself), there will be no unfulfilled expectations to bring disappointment or discontent.

Creating Your World

We don't need to struggle with whatever outer or inner expressions we create, or have created in the past. But we can if we want. Or we can see ourselves and our expressions and our interactions with others as manifesting our dreams, and allow those aspects that support them to come forth.

How do you see yourself? What do you create?
