Inclusive Peace

I create in peace.

I see in peace.

I feel the deep peace within.

In the peace within, I come in contact with my divine nature.

I have all that I need.

I am secure and serene.

As I listen within, I know intuitively what to do, where to be.

I am never separated from my divine nature, so I naturally take right action.

My solution is to stay in peace, to feel the calm presence.

I am always at home with all I need when I feel the deep peace.

All who are around me feel calm, peaceful guidance as well.

Community Wherever You Go

The person after me in the print shop area was a man who introduced himself to the clerk by saying he was ninety-four years old, and then described what he was looking for.

I pay attention when I hear someone who gives an elder’s age.  That person has lived a long time, and I know there is wisdom there.  He was by himself, and was active and engaged in his business.

After I finished getting my printing done, he walked past me out to his car, which was a mini-van.

I thanked him for being here and he came over and shared some of his story after saying he was one “of those World War Two guys”.

I loved learning that he had gone to Washington D.C. when he was eighteen and worked as a messenger for the FBI before being transferred to the fingerprint analysis department.  After watching airplanes fly overhead for several months, he decided “he had to have some of that”!

He flew B-17’s from Great Britain to Berlin and other places all over Europe.  He has a signed document by J. Edgar Hoover acknowledging his work for the FBI.

His wife of 67 years died in 2012.  He was married five years before I was born.  He says, if you live a good life, you can expect good in your life.

He was parked a little close to my car and he backed up to let me out.

I don’t know his name, but he is part of my community.

Now, he is part of your community, too.

I am so grateful to meet interesting people who have simply lived their lives.  They have done all the little things that you and I do, and this man showed how he contributed to our world in many ways.

I am making my way through this same world, and I hope I can speak of it with as much peace and quiet conviction as this ninety-four year old man did.

Treasure Your Preferences

After following through with someone else’s plan for my life, I have finally discovered the amazing benefits of doing what I love to do.

First of all, it was a challenge of self-doubt even to explore the idea of what I love to do.

I kept listening to the direction that came to me, though, and now have put together a combination of all my favorite things.

It feels completely different to be happy all the time about what I do.

I love every part of it.

I get to play with wonderful materials.

I get to meet with the people who enjoy the same kinds of activities I like to do.

I get to be a natural introvert and only share when I feel like it.

I get to play with designs and go to visit the print shop and see them work their magic on my originals.

It is fun to share the different steps with the people who are helping me bring about my products.

Trusting my preferences is leading to a delightful life and one that I can continue to build on with happiness and satisfaction.

New Wonderfulness

After watching the film “Prosperity” by Dr. Pedram Shojai , it made me feel so good to see all the solutions in action.  

Many businesses are operating under uplifting guiding principles which define their contributions to society, and they are making a good profit.

It made me feel good despite the desperation and rage and despair that the media is feeding us.

So now I know that what I do which is uplifting and gentle and good, is also powerful.

The new and wonderful ideas which come to me are worth completing, are worth bringing into production.

All the good qualities which I began researching as part of my spiritual study all my life are having an effect in my life.

They are touching all the children I taught, and they are touching all the people with whom I come into contact on a daily basis.

This is the quality of the thought I am sending out.

We can all see the results of the quality of thought which is promoted.

If we go along with it, we become part of the tide.

It can be a tide of despair or a tide of happiness.

When we value our own thought qualities and how they enable us to uplift our part of society, they give us a different kind of life.

We can continue to create new wonderful things which are good for people.

We always have the choice of joining in, whether to despair or to uplift.

For Some, For All

I know that the love and consideration we have for some can be expanded into love and consideration for all.

It we base our actions on the motives and principles that everyone can be taken care of through good public policy, we can find imaginative new ways for considering solutions.

We all have love and consideration in our hearts for some people, those we know.

If we move beyond the analysis of tax dollars and privilege, we can find ways of reaching everyone in practical ways which will allow them to lift themselves up.

When we employ our resources toward public policy which allows everyone to take care of themselves, they will.

That is the natural urge of people.

Repeated discouragement through limiting the resources of public policy to be allocated in divisive ways, leads to despair instead of hope and inspiration.

There is enough for everyone when we think of everyone as important.

There is good solid groundwork already laid which tells us how to inspire through education.

There are interesting and challenging jobs available through respect for everyone’s intelligence and the desire for cooperation.

There are resources for people to move beyond the struggle for basic survival into the satisfaction of skilled and challenging and interesting work.

Our respect for all can move us beyond privilege for some.

Keep Your Imagination Going

Even if you cannot implement your ideas right away, it is extremely important to keep brainstorming.

As you keep yourself alert, you keep expanding your ideas.

Eventually, something will call out to you so strongly that you will do it.

The fact that your mind is so flexible and used to looking for resources, will aid you immensely.

Your old ideas may have been what kept your mind alive until you could actually implement them.

If those are not the ideas you implement, it is because you have outgrown them, or they have served their purpose in keeping your mind alive.

Now, you can hone in on what you are truly drawn to.

You can let your imagination become your reality.

Once again, you can let your mind expand and imagine different places and ways to implement your idea.

You will follow up on resources or keep listening until the ideas come to you where to find them.

New combinations of ideas may result from all the resources and skills you have been developing while you were getting ready for a new phase in your life.

You will be ready to imagine them coming together and your habit of mind expansion will continue taking you outward until they all connect.

The habit of imagining is an expectation which brings realization and manifestation into your life.

Be opulent and generous in what you imagine.

Let all with whom you come in contact be blessed and uplifted by your service.

Keep imagining far and wide and make room for your most delightful dreams and blessings.

Doubt and Confusion

It never came from within you.

It was imprinted there by outside influences.

When you can separate your own thoughts from those emotions which imprinted you, you can find your own direction and guidance and peace.

I can recognize confusion by my inability to act or by my reluctance to make a decision.

The old habits of being held back and my opinions ignored are being broken.

When I take the time to notice what is happening and give myself the room to consider what I would really like, I am able to make a decision and to take effective action.

I, too, have been blessed with a wonderful mind and great coordination and organization.

These dormant abilities are coming into a safe environment, and I can now express them.

The very best thing is that as I have listened within to find the things I really love to do, I am finding the support to do them.

Resources are coming together in a definite and certain way.

My connections are smooth and coordinated.

Each step flows smoothly into the next one.

I am happy each day as I consider the next step and see how it flows so naturally and gently into the next one.

My purpose is clear, and it is a happy one.

The life shrouded by doubt and confusion was never mine.

The old imprinting is being replaced with the delightful life of my choice.

I am fulfilled and happy, as is my right.
