Creating Peace in Your Life

The most supportive and nurturing thing you can do for yourself is to take the steps to create peace in your life.

My first step was to tell myself, “I love me”.

With that in mind, I began to think about what I would really love to do, and to start doing it.

Now that I am doing many of the things I have always wanted to do, I have eliminated a great amount of conflict in my life.

Active alignment between my heart and hands, what I love and actually doing it, has created much greater peace in my life.

Now I am able to concentrate on the next steps.

I am able to note the difference between self-appreciation and self-criticism.

I realized that a lot of the conflict in my life was due to a habit of extreme criticism that I grew up with.

I do not have to continue it.

I am able to replace criticism with appreciation.

I am even able to extend it to the other people around me, including strangers.

Giving someone a sense of appreciation in my mind creates a little more peace in my life.

Each new step that I discover and practice increases the peace in my life.

Catapulted Forward

We are all re-evaluating our stands and recommitting ourselves to a higher way of living.

Our previous opinions are being challenged and redefined.

There is no more patience for our slow responses to the forces moving us forward.

We are now confronted with the clash of worlds.

The question, “Do we all live for one another or just for ourselves?”, demands to be answered.

Our higher motives are actually being given more power by the insistent contrasts that have been turned loose.

Whether we have been taking one hesitant step forward at a time, or we have been an active leader, we are all receiving an impulse which is catapulting us forward.

Gasps of New Air

I am gasping great breaths of new air in this new climate of agitation.

Everyone I know is gasping great breaths of new air in this new climate of agitation.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, gasping great breaths of new air in this new climate of agitation.

——————

As we gasp for new breath in this new climate of agitation, we are all finding common ground and new solutions.

Although we cannot tell what is being brought forth, we know we are attending a new birth.

Definite stands against going backwards to limited rights and freedoms are being supported vehemently.

A desperate struggle to confine everyone’s rights and desires to expand their freedom is being loudly and futilely waged.

We are in the thralls of creating a new and stronger way to live which includes good for everyone.

It can no longer be limited by narrow interpretations and practices.

Long years of debate have hammered out the freedoms for more and more people to enjoy and practice.

Now, they are fully escaping for everyone.

Amazing New Opportunities

There is a new momentum happening which allows a completely new view of the world to take shape.

The idea of service which uplifts everyone, is a real possibility.

Without traditional borders, of communication, of travel, of tribal loyalty, we are all free to serve each other in larger and larger ways.

Our commonalities are coming more and more to light as we meet people from so many other places and cultures.

We all have families which we care for.

We all want to expand our horizons by giving each other unlimited opportunities to interact and grow.

We all love to play and live productively.

With a sense of unlimited resources and the joy of developing them, no one need live in want and no one need live in fear.

Every day shows us more invention, compassion, expansion.

This is truly an amazing new time to live in and to serve.

Beyond Reason

We have hit a point beyond reason.

The agitation we are feeling has been building for millennia.

It is now time for everyone to experience the good and freedom available to some.

Time has evolved beyond defined gender roles and work limitations; freedom of expression tastes too good to be put away.

There is room for artists, responsible energy, and uplifting education and invention in every field.

We all have immense value, and now we can all live well, inspired by each other’s contributions.

It is unreasonable because it is being achieved anyway, against all reason.

It is the power of joy and compassion linked with every productive means which is making this possible.

What a great time, the momentum to live beyond reason.

Light Meeting Light

There has been so much progress and enlightenment throughout millennia regarding social issues.

We are now meeting the clash of this progressive world with the social norms of the past.

With increased understanding about mental and emotional capacities in both genders, there has been increased freedom in all roles.

Suddenly, we have reached a tipping point, where the forward momentum has to define itself in a more intense fashion.

This is happening;  we are seeing consensus along a wider and more expansive front than ever before.

And there is a powerful backlash that tries to refute the progress and expansion which has been occurring.

Since this enlightenment is in people’s hearts and souls, it cannot move backward.

It is so well established that it is running over, crossing every kind of border.

The old postures of the past are no longer valid.

They were only stepping stones to the present, which is continuing to evolve to include everyone.

The paths that have enlightened the past have evolved to today, and they continue onward, igniting the spark in everyone’s heart.

Freedom is found, and it reaches out its light to everyone.

It will not be stopped.

Called To a New Time

All kinds of evolutionary points have hit all at once.

Social, political, economic, justice, environment.

Our new times calls for them to be uplifting to all, instead of only for some groups.

Our individuality has been documented across gender and cultural norms, in every field.

Oppression is being opposed in real time as well as in history and literature.

Access to and protection of resources is critical for everyone.

We all breathe the same air, we all need to expand the way we live, and to live in responsible ways.

Our intense and crucial goal is an uplifting life-practice for everyone.
