the thought behind the thought

do you ever think about what you're thinking about??

it's weird because most of the time... you are just thinking... and your thinking is subconscious... because you don't really think about what you think about... you just think...

but every now and then, your thinking becomes a little more conscious... and you stop to think about the thoughts you are having...

this has been a great tool for me to really figure out who i am... because when you can analyze your thoughts, you can know what emotion lies deep within you... you can know what your true intention is...

if your true intention is to love... if the emotion inside of you is love... then the actions that your thoughts will lead to will be acts of love... of kindness... of charity...

but if your thoughts are thoughts of anger... of resentment... of hatred... then your true intention of love has been overcome by fear... and the actions they will lead to will not be Godly acts...

pay attention to your thoughts... realize who you are... a child of God...

be still... and know...

how do you know?

you just do. it will be undeniable. all the signs will point to Him. and you will know... that God is in you.

and in the moment that you know... that God is in you... remember... that He has been there before... He has been there always... and He wants to stay forever... so keep that moment alive... and never forget...

if you do this... life becomes a dance... you become happy... and it will be a lot easier... to be who you really are... a loving, human being... with God in him...

being true to who you are would be your first nature... you would honor God and worship no other god... not money, not power, not fame... you would idolize nothing... you would never use His name in vain... and you will keep a day for Him... and then two days... until everyday becomes the Sabbath... you would honor your mother and father... for they have given you your life... you would not kill... for a loving human being would never take the life of another without justification... you would not want the spouse of another... or commit adultery, even in your mind... you would not steal... because everything already belongs to God... and God is in you... you would never bear false witness... truth is the essence of you... you would know that we are one in God... and therefore, would have no desire for the possessions of others... you would bless them.

so the next time you know... remember... and don't forget...

can't we all just get along?

sometimes i wish we were all on the same wavelength... we all could look each other in the eye... smile... and know that what we feel is a brotherly love... an unconditional love...

we would all know one absolute truth... and instead of fighting over who is right, we'd be loving each other and expanding... we would experience glory after glory... because that is God's will...

there would be little need for conversation... because we would all just understand...

imagine what we could do... we could end hunger... we would end war...

is it naive to DREAM BIG?

live your destiny

can you imagine living a life with out inner peace and with constant struggle?

why does that happen?

i believe we have a destiny... a purpose to fulfill... when you are on the path that leads to destiny, it brings a sense of calm and peace to your life... when you feel happy and secure in your surroundings... like you are where you are supposed to be... then you know you are doing things right...

it's not all about your feelings... although they are a big part... it's also your thoughts... what do you think about what you are doing? what do you think about where you are?

all good things come from God... feelings are good because they are a sense... they tell us that we are alive... and thoughts, well... they tell us that we exist... He who gave us existence, also gave us awareness of our existence... what a gift! and because of this existance, we are able to experience life... and life is beautiful...

so if what you feel, what you think, and what you experience come from God... then feelings of happiness and love are just God communicating that we are on the right path... that we are living our destiny... feelings of struggle and despair just tell you that you've missed... you've made a few wrong turns...

thankfully, we can use all of these things as a GPS... we can find our way back to the path for our true destiny by listening to our hearts... and using our experiences as tools...

the best part about all of this... is that it's never too late... everyday is a new beginning... another chance to change your life and change the world... what a miracle!

how to change the world

1- love. love unconditionally.

2- give. give freely and without expecting anything in return.

3- believe. believe that your potential is greatly larger than you could ever imagine.

4- see the change. have vision, for without it, you will perish.

5- be the change. just do it.

my re-birthday

my soul died and was reborn yesterday... i have been given a new life... my slate has been wiped clean... my sins have been forgiven... washed away by the water... i am fresh and pure now...

i feel brand new... like everything i do can be done with the purest of love and intent behind it... like i have been relieved of my excess baggage... my karma, so to speak... i have sown, and reaped what i sowed... now i will sow again, i will sow unconditional love everywhere i go... and whenever i find dry, infertile ground.... i will spend a little more time enriching the soil of those souls... so that the seeds of love can sprout and spread...

even though in my heart i had forgiven myself... and for a while now, no longer lived with feelings of guilt or regret... i feel now that i can freely use the spiritual gifts God has given me for the good of mankind... because i am free now... salvation has come to me... no more fear of the past coming back to haunt me.... my debts have been paid... it's time to invest in the future of the world...

the art of manifestation

it really is an art, you see... it is an expression of will...

it is true when they say that if you can see it... if your mind can conceive it... then it can achieve it.... and it will... as long as you never lose sight of it...

but you must have a creative mind... you must be able to see things how they are not... you must be able to see things in the way you want them to be... you must be able to feel things in seeing your desires... and when you can feel these things and see your dreams become real... your mind will begin to map out the route it must take to bring what you see and feel into the now... so that it can be real... and you can live it

such beautiful gifts God has given us... the idea of time... of past, present, and future... how great is it that we can live in the now, remember the past, and plan the future...

thank you, God!! for this miracle of life... that i may have this human experience for as long as You will, and one person at a time, help You change the world... thank you for this day, that You have made.
