Appreciation

The second most powerful force in the earth… is “appreciation!” It is impossible to feel it or express it too much. The deeper you go into the consciousness of appreciation, the more you will behold the infinite life that right now is flowing into and through you.

Appreciate for a moment your body, with its amazing organs and systems, and your mind, with its miraculous capacity to perceive and understand life. Appreciate the constant provision for your material needs that are being met every moment.

You can appreciate the things in your life that bring deep fulfillment, your family and friends, the capacity to understand, heal hurt, comfort another and receive support. Yet there is more—even more amazing gifts: of your life itself, your eternal soul, your oneness with Divine life and intelligence, the amazing love that enfolds and lifts you every moment, every choice, every experience for eternity.

To appreciate is to reach into the infinite and find it is already in your own heart.

Let it shine

Let it shine... and have fun!!

Every Sunday, after singing our peace song, we remember our true state of being, the presence we choose to be. We are the love, the light and the peace in the world right now. We remind ourselves as we go forth for the rest of our week to “let it shine… and have fun!”

Yes, fun is spiritual! God gave us the most wonderful spiritual biofeedback device. It’s designed to tell you if you are in touch with the Divine. It operates on a simple principle: when you are in touch with your spiritual nature, you feel good. Wow, is that simple!

This marvelous feedback device is the human body. When you are in touch with the Divine, you feel good because Spirit is flowing into and through your body. You feel clear (which feels good) because Spirit is flowing into your mind. Even in difficult situations, spiritual connection takes us from the state of frustration or despondency to purposeful, intelligent understanding and wise action (and that feels good).

When you are learning about God, your heart fills with meaning. When you are connecting with others, you feel the flow of God through you (and that feels good). When you are loving, you are expressing God (and that feels the best of all).

Happiness Choice

Make the "Happiness choice" -- regardless ouf your outer circumstances, choose to align your consciousness with the inner energy of God's ever present goodness.

I invite you to watch this video in which I explore the problems and suffering that arises when we pin our happiness on outer events. Instead, by cultivating a steady inner alignment with the creative energy of God within, we can achieve a reliable state of happiness regardless of outer challenges.
