The Calm That Settles Within

There is a calm that settles within as we practice seeking it.

Any news or personal event has to weigh itself against this calm.

As the calm becomes more and more pervasive in our individual lives, we create an atmosphere of calm around us.

In the peace, we can hear the next steps to take for our business, our family, our politics.

Since we are seeking to create a society which takes care of all of us in the best possible ways, we are fed wonderful ideas to accomplish this from within.

These ideas are taking wonderful form in ways which include more and more awareness on the part of all segments of society.

When society as a whole receives enough benefits from associating with each other, we will have achieved a practical and stable state.

All the individual effects tied together in groups which unify together are resulting in a very aware and active populace.

The peace and well-being that we want for ourselves naturally spills over to include everyone else.

It is worth cultivating the peace within so that as we all gain power by associating with each other, we have a new way in which to express ourselves.

We can maintain a collective high standard of living as long as we maintain a deep sense of peace and calm which settles within.

What We Value About Ourselves

What is it we value about ourselves?

Our intellect?

Our ability to make friends?

Our ability to empathize with others?

Our ability to make sound financial decisions?

What we value most is what we express.

If we have a feeling of privilege and superiority, we value recognition and think it is our due.

If we have a feeling of being downtrodden, we feel a sense of despair and lack of energy.

When we start to value everyone in an uplifting way, and give ourselves hope, we open up the streams of abundance for all of us.

We can work against the separating influences of privilege and poverty.

We can unify behind the feeling of the best good for all of us.

We can be caring for our environment and the privilege of living here on earth.

We can value the studies and insights we are given through science.

We can value the freedom of restrictive social and cultural norms.

Let’s see our society and our world blossom as never before when we give all of us a true value.

Self-Congratulation and Value

Being at peace involves true value, not self-congratulation.

Doing worthy work, which provides for the most good possible for all of us is a great source of satisfaction and peace.

Compromising one’s own value shows how worthless a person actually feels.

A source of satisfaction and peace about doing worthy work naturally increases the effectiveness of the work.

It spreads and helps others feel valued as well.

This uplifting feeling allows more and more sharing and more and more imagination in making everyone feel welcomed and valuable.

It lessens domestic strife and promotes a sense of relief and the ability to share generously.

Accepting privilege at the great expense of so many others actually lessens one’s own value.

What is the work you have chosen?

Can it uplift and give value to more people?

Can it improve they way others are living across a garden scale?

If that is your role, you have a sacred trust.

Be sure that you value yourself only as much as you value others in order to be able to do it well.

Underlying Truth

I am so grateful for the underlying truth about life, regardless of the lies that surround us.

Everyone I know is so grateful for the truth about life, regardless of the lies that surround them.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is so grateful for the truth about life, regardless of the lies that surround them.

———————-

The many temptations of greed and the feeling of superiority that goes with it are reckless since they are not based on the underlying truth about life.

Life is for all of us.

We all breathe, learn, grow, develop a relationship with each other and with the earth.

Anything which can help us to do this in responsible ways, is part of the truth of life.

Having respect for the natural development of society and nature is what lets us live in harmony with each other and with the earth.

Substituting a sense of privilege for the processes which are a part of natural living for all of us is reckless.

The temporary excitement of winning over the system will be quite short-lived, especially when you are a guardian of the rights of others.

The underlying truth about life will automatically correct everyone involved, as the compassionate awareness that we all live on the same planet continues to gain momentum.

I am grateful “these truths” which are self-evident” will come into play as we all find our right and just place in this country and in this Universe.

Short-lived glory can be such a very painful lesson.

What a marvelous time to have such an example as we all increase in awareness and compassion.

Your Concept of Yourself

You express your concept of yourself.

Many things have shaped your concept of yourself, but whatever you accept is what you express.

You can change your concept by changing what you accept about yourself.

Old habits of thought can be redirected and replaced and a new concept of yourself will emerge as you practice the new habits.

Reach for concepts of integrity, honesty, unlimited resources and being of value.

Include wealth and health at the same time.

Include happiness and a sense of purpose.

Include satisfaction and service.

Be compassionate and forgiving.

Be purposeful and take action.

Listen within for each step

Be receptive to the guidance which comes from the quote and peace within.

Be alert and watchful and observant and sensitive to what you truly love.

This is your individuality.

You have a right to the abundance and fulness within your expression of your concept of yourself.

Confidence and Assurance

One Beautiful Thing

You are here to do One Beautiful Thing, plus many others.

But there is one focus, from which many things will come.

It comes from what you love most.

Within your deepest peace, there is a sense of what you love most.

It may be connected to something you do now, or it may be completely different.

The One Beautiful Thing satisfies you completely.

Every time you contemplate it, something more opens up for you.

There is an infinite sense to it, a sense of unlimited good.

It is a way for you to connect with others and to uplift them.

It is a way for you to bless them and to be blessed by the doing of it.

Your identity is best expressed in the One Beautiful Thing.

It draws you toward it, gently and consistently.

When it reveals itself to you, you are filled with wonder.

It is marvelous and beautiful.

It is irresistible; you are compelled to follow it.

It is the desire of your heart.
