The Inner Light

The inner Light that burns within each of you. What do you think this is? A flicker of potential? A tiny part of who and what you could be? A small part of you that is worthy?

That Light that you see, is all that you are. There is no darkness in your ultimate truth. You were made of Light. You are Light. But, around that Light you have wrapped darkness. You have allowed the Light to be almost smothered.

What happens if you smother that Light completely? It is not possible to smother the Light completely. It cannot be done. However, there is a balance in life and beyond life. The more you invite in the darkness the more work you will have to do in dealing with the consequences. A choice to hurt is an invitation to be hurt. I choice to hate is an invitation to be hated. A choice to inflict misery is an invitation to misery to enter your life. You will pay the consequences of all your actions. At the end of your lifetime you will have to face up to all that you have done, and see it for it's reality, and understand it by experiencing it from both sides.

To atone for the harm you have done, is partly achieved through at-one-ing with the victim, i.e. becoming one with them, to experience, as they did, the harm you inflicted.

The Light is always within you no matter how many times you decide to hurt another person, no matter how many times you choose misery and anger. The Light does not go away. It's always there, like a tiny candle ready to ignite into a flaming ball of Light the moment the opportunity presents itself.

What kind of opportunity? A single moment of pure love. In that moment your Light would burst into flame. In that moment of Light you would see the truth and you would know your reality. You may, of course, choose to descend back into the shadows, but you will have known love and you will be forever changed.

How do you make the Light burn brightly every moment? Simple. You make all your choices from love. All your choices -- how you think, how you speak, how you interact with people, how you go about your daily life.

What does 'living from love' achieve for you? What you give, you shall receive. The more love you give the more love you receive, though it may be that you give love to one person and received love from several other people (neighbors, fiends, relatives etc). More than that, however, you will find yourself existing joyfully. You will wake happy each day, feeling the love that is your innate truth.

There as days when challenges arise and you may find 'living from love' difficult, but in those times love is even more important. You will find that to deal with the situation 'from love, patience and understanding' will achieve far better results than a fight or an argument, and the solution will be long lasting -- whereas a blazing argument merely heats tempers and encourages bitterness. Egos are often the prime cause of arguments, each person desperate to be right, and for what? Does the world change if you are right or wrong? Are the hungry fed and the miserable comforted on the basis of your being right? No, so, in reality, what do you achieve? A boost to your ego, a sense of power. These are weak things in the face of tolerance, weak in the face of love, and false in the face of reality.

The greatest people you will ever meet with be the truly peaceful and wise ones. You will remember them. You will love them long after they are gone. Whereas the power hungry will soon be forgotten.

Your Light is always burning. Only you can decide how brightly.

A world illuminated by people who have chosen to embrace their Light and burn brightly? What a wonderful thing that would be!

Our question is: how will you choose to live today?

Your relationship with God


The Year 2008

What does a new year offer you? It offers you the opportunity to live a year of 'making a difference'.

You could live this year earning money, spending that money, eating, drinking, socializing, watching television, and see the days slip by one after the other.

Or...

You could choose to make this the year you live a greater life. Live with love in your heart, help other people, nurture the planet, be kind to all life forms. You could spend time in mediation or prayer. You could do healings on yourself and the world. You could seek a greater wisdom. You could embrace your divine reality. You could live as a Soul upon the Earth.

In the first choice, nothing will change. In the second choice, ALL will change.

Every year things happen upon the world which you deem as terrible. Yet, you do not change. Isn't a new year also a good opportunity to change? To enlighten your life?

You may think one person cannot make a difference. You are wrong. One person can make all the difference in the world. One thought of love makes all the difference in the world.

Life is a joyous experience, and yet so many people seem to focus in negative aspects of life -- on anger, resentment, bitterness, greed. Wouldn't it feel far better to focus on positive aspects of life -- love, friendship, family, laughter, flowers, sunshine?

What you focus on is what you attract into your life. Take responsibility for that.

A man does not reach the top of a mountain by an act of desire. He achieves the mountain top by taking one step at a time and putting in the effort required to get him to the top of the mountain. Work is required. Commitment is required. Form that commitment and effort, the joy will be insurmountable.

If you desire for your life to change, you will be required to put it the effort, to change your habits and thought patterns. But, with commitment, you will achieve the results you seek.

Some people feel it should all be easy, that there should be no effort required. But, we say to you: these habits that you put into place, these responses to life and people, it was you who put them in place, and it is only you who can change them. It will only be as hard as you make it. You could choose to make the changes easily, knowing you will benefit.

To live with a peaceful heart is as easy as choosing to live with a peaceful heart, and choosing to respond to situations from that peace. It is all in your hands.

The state of the world is representative of the state of humankind. What would happen if humankind were to change? Well...why don't you see for yourself. Change you and see what happens to the world around you.

If a village were to change, what would happen to their nation? If a nation were to change, what would happen to the world? If a thousand people in every city in the world changed, what would happen to the state of the world.

Test the theory and see for yourself.

WE cannot change your world. YOU created it, and YOU can heal it.

The only question is: do you want to?

If you do, then make this the year you put in the effort to do so!

What foods does your body enjoy?

How often do you eat something and pay attention to how it makes you feel?

How often do you listen to your body's response? For example: if you eat a banana, do you participate fully in the experience? Do you taste it, feel how it affects you emotionally, and feel the effects upon your physical body?

Most people don't. Most people eat food and focus only on the flavor.

This has lead to a society that does not understand correct, and individual nutrition. Nutrition cannot be based solely on what 'experts' say is correct, because not all people are the same. One of you may have a body that does not resonate well with cooked potatoes, while another person's body resonates in harmony with potatoes. One person may find capsicum suits their body and another person may find it does not.

To learn correct nutrition, each person needs to understand what is right for their body.

This means going back to the very beginning. Start with a banana. Peel it, smell it, take a small bite. How does it feel in your mouth? Chew. How does it taste? How does it make your body feel? How does it affect your emotions? Where in your body are you feeling a response?

There has to be some response. If you insist there is not, then you need to switch off your logical mind and simply allow yourself the experience.

If a banana is in harmony with your body you will feel a sense of joy while you eat it. Your energy will lift, you will feel happy, and you will feel your heart sing. This is the response your body is likely to give you.

Now, try the same thing with a slice of white bread and butter. You may find that your energy neither rises nor falls, but feels rather flat and unresponsive. This is because it is not a terrific food, but also not a very bad food.

Now, try the same thing with a chocolate. You will likely feel your taste buds dance and your mouth sing for joy, but that is the basis of a material world, surface response. Go deeper than that. Feel how your energy and your emotions respond. You may find that your emotions remain flat, that the only thing getting excited is your mouth. The response on an energy level, and on an emotional level, is not there because the food is not giving you the kinds of energy your body thrives on.

Try a salad for dinner, and really pay attention to the meal. You will likely find a lightness, a lift in your energy, an enjoyment. Some of this is because you know that a salad is good for you, the rest is because it is energy your body enjoys. Of course, if the leaves have been sprayed with something harmful, then your experience may be less than enjoyable.

If you eat a fruit which has been sprayed, then waxed, and your washing of the fruit has not remove the wax and the spray, you will feel ill. The purer your diet, the faster you will feel the stomach pains. That pains are an extreme reaction, verging on your body screaming at you to not eat this ever again. The purer your diet, the healthier your body, the less tolerant you body will be to that which is bad for it.

Take the time to fully experience the food that you eat. Allow yourself the pleasure of knowing how each food item affects you. Over a course of time you will learn what foods make you rejoice, what foods energize you, what foods calm you, what foods lower your energy levels, what foods brings a calm emotional state. You will learn how to eat for the mood you are in or the work you have ahead f you.

Be in touch with your body. Understand what your body does and does not like. Live according to that. Eat what you need for each day, for each work, for each emotion. Learn to balance yourself, mentally, emotionally and physically, through you diet.

This is a fascinating topic, and there is so much we could say, but for now it is important that you simply take the first step.

The toll of stress

Where is it in your body that you hold stress? What part of your body suffers when you are 'burning the candle at both ends'?

People suffer from stress in different ways. Some carry stress in their shoulders, others suffer emotionally, becoming distant, moody, or quick to anger when they are stressed. Some carry it in their gut, feeling a twisting and a turning when the stress becomes too much.

What we have referred to above is emotional stress.

Physical stress is handled differently. When you place yourself under physical stress, working long hours, working two jobs, giving up sleep time, you reach a point where the physical toll is becoming obvious. Your heart beats a little faster and harder. Your gut aches. You find it hard to concentrate. You find it harder to remain patient.

Many of you (particularly mothers) ignore the symptoms. You put yourselves on auto pilot and just plough through the work. You do it because it needs to be done and you don't even consider tiredness. When you had a new born baby there was much to do and weariness did not change that. You did what had to be done because it had to be done. You ignored your fatigue. You became experts at pushing yourselves too hard. As your children grew up a bit you got some more sleep, so you felt rested again. You still, however, retained that ability to start a job and keep going until it was done, ignoring fatigue.

Mothers truly are super women!

However, the toll needs to be considered.

The stress that you place on your body, be it the shoulders, the heart, the gut, the lungs, these can all result in illness if left unattended.

How can you rectify that?

Simple. Very simple. Though you may wish to do this in a supportive environment.

If you have felt that your heart was not quite right, sit, quietly, and talk to your heart. Apologize for the stress you have placed it under. How your hands out before you, and visualize them as hands of light. Ask your heart to release all of its burdens into your hands, and ask that they be instantly transmuted into love. You may need to ask your heart to release these burdens several times, each time assuring your heart that it is okay, that you do not need your heart to hold on to these burdens.

You may find this a painful process. You may find grief rising, or pain, but it is better that you see it, know it and are able to release it. Ask your Guides and Angels to support you in this process. Know that you are surrounded by love as you work through this process.

When you feel you have released all that your heart has held, place your hands over the heart, and thank the heart. Send your love to your heart. Tell your heart how much you appreciate it's work, it's continued beating. Spend some time doing this.

It is a simple process. It may cause issues to rise that you would prefer not to deal with, but sooner or later you will have to deal with them. It would be better to deal with them before the issues become an illness.

The same process applies to shoulders, lungs, gut, any part of your body. You can work through the body itself.

It is all a process of helping your body to release that which it has held on to, those burdens which it has harbored, so that your body can function well, and maintain a level of good health.

Of course, you still need to pay attention to your thoughts, actions and diet, but, what we have shared with you here is just one step, one thing you can do to help yourself.

You may choose to do this as a group, and support each other. If you have had a traumatic life it would be best not to try this alone, but to definitely have that group support, or the support of someone your trust.

Many people have, for so long, carried their burdens like badges, assuming they have no effect upon the body. They do have an effect, and if left untended, they could result in a deterioration of your health. Regaining your health is far more difficult that maintaining it.

If you are always under stress, it is important you find ways to release that stress and find some peace. It might be a sport, it might be a walk along the beach and then some time sitting on the sand in the sun. It might be spending time with people you love. It might be in meditation. It might be sitting on the back doorstep in the sun with a cup of tea.

Find your stress release.

Stress is not a badge to be proud if, it is detrimental to your health. Behavior that results from stress is not justified, it is detrimental to the health of you and every one around you.

Do not carry your stress, and do not carry anyone else's stress.

How do you heal the world?

You begin with you.

And then one person at a time.

There are many people who are working at this time on global healing, but not everyone on Earth is capable of that. The level of understanding and knowledge, let alone wisdom, required to successfully do that is currently beyond many people. But that does not mean you cannot contribute to that global healing.

Begin with you, for what are you but a part of the ALL. In reality, you are all of it, everything. There is no true separation between you and another person, or between you and a rock, or a bird or a squirrel. It is all Oneness.

So, what happens when you heal yourself? You heal all of it. The only thing that stops it from happening on a grand scale is peoples' beliefs in, and thoughts of, separateness.

Yet, even if you cannot achieve the grandness you would like to see, healing yourself will still change the ALL. It has to, it is unavoidable, inevitable.

And so, again we say heal yourself first.

Take a look at what is and is not working in your life. Think about it for a few days. Then sit down and examine whether you are totally blameless. We do not mean to be judgmental, we merely ask a question such as this: if your complaint is that your husband does not know who you truly are, have you made the effort to truly show him? Have you lived the expression of who you are, or have you played a role and kept who you really are a secret from him? If you have played a role, and not discussed your interests and passions with him can you then really blame him for not knowing you? He cannot possibly understand you if you have not truly revealed yourself to him.

If you want anyone to truly know who you are then live who you are. Every moment of the day. Show the world who you are.

Too often in relationships, when there are problems, one person heaps all of the blame on the other person, and refuses to consider that they too might be at fault. Misunderstandings and problems arise because of lack of genuine communication.

If you seem to attract confrontations in your life, ask yourself 'do I think about this, and worry about it, too often?' What your focus on is what you will attract. Why not focus on peace, calmness, laughter, time with friends? Choose what you think about with more care.

Is your diet such that it leaves you feeling unwell, bloated, uncomfortable, irritable? Maybe a few changes to a healthier diet would leave you feeling more energetic and positive? Isn't it worth trying?

Do you feel that there is a lack of love in your life? In which case, ask yourself, do I give out a lot of love? Am I open and loving with all people who I meet and talk to? Or am I closed in, contracted, holding myself in least I get hurt? If you do not give love out, you are not likely to receive a lot of love back. What you release into the world, is that will come back to you. That is why negative people attract more negative situations, and optimistic people attract more to be optimistic about!

Are you fulfilling your dreams? Or have you left them along the wayside? Is it time to reconsider them and perhaps make some steps towards them. Even if you simply enjoy those steps but do not reach the goals, perhaps that is what you are meant to do? To grow in the taking of those steps.

Be clear in your own mind about who you are. If not, take the time to consider what is important to you. And then show that person to the world. Through this inner honesty you will heal. Address all the issues of pain and doubt, and you will heal.

When you heal, the ALL heals. You affect the ALL through all that you do

Heal yourself first...and those around you will then begin to heal also. You will have created an environment of healing.

Nothing you do is without impact.

You are the cause of the first ripple in the pond...

Align your life

Are you living in line with the goals you espouse?

Or are you just getting through each day without giving the future much thought other than to think or say 'What I really intend to do is...?'

From this day forward, make everything you do, say and think, be a step towards that goal.

See your life the way it will be when the goal is achieved.

Think how you will think, when that goal is achieved.

Feel how you will feel when that goal is achieved.

Know that the goal will be achieved.

Remove all thoughts that are obstacles to that, such as self doubt, fear and, most of all, the typically common thought that you do not deserve it.

That is the greatest block to achieving dreams that many many people face, the self belief that they do not deserve it. But you do deserve to have your dreams come true.

Naturally we are not speaking of winning lotto, for that, in the scheme of truth and enlightenment is of no value.

Whatever your goal is, take steps towards manifesting it. Act on it, build on it, constantly learning and improving. With your energy focused on that goal, and taking actions towards it, you are expending so much energy in that direction that the consequence has to be its manifestation, its realization.

What you focus your energy on is what you create. So, if you have a goal, focus as much energy on it as you can and believe in it. Live as if you already have it.

No self doubt. No 'I don't deserve this', because you do deserve it.

When you are able to remove the obstacles, you clear the path, you align everything towards that goal.

You may have people in your life who don't believe in you or your goal, so do not share it with them. Share your goal and your efforts only with those who believe in you. And never shoot down another person's goals, for when you do that to another, you do that to yourself.

Do you understand what we mean by that? Supporting others in the pursuit of their goals also supports you in the pursuit of your goal, believing in other people means your must first believe in yourself.

Align your life with your goal.

Believe in the goal.

Believe in yourself.

Think on this.

Future predictions, misunderstood

We would like to talk about time, and about predictions.

The Mayan calendar gives a date...Nostradamus predicted WW3...and numerous other predictions have been made over time about the end of the world, the end of civilization.

Humanity will change. Yes. The world as you know it will end. Yes. But not in the way you think.

At this very moment humanity is changing, evolving, achieving higher awareness. Spiritual evolution, it is a wave that is bringing great change.

The changes that many predictions have spoke of, is the change that this spiritual evolution will bring. The wave is building, the crest rising higher and higher. Changes are coming, and they are the changes that you have been working towards, that you have been seeking. You are changing the world. And you are changing it into a more enlightened and beautiful place. This is the change that has been spoken of.

The world as you know it, as you have known it will be gone forever when this change takes place. A new world, a new humanity, born of their own efforts, born of the committed work of those who understand.

Do not fear what has been predicted, just understand that it is a spiritual change that will alter the world and all life upon it. It is to be welcomed and celebrated, not feared.

A more understanding society, compassionate, with greater spiritual understanding and wisdom, with more love and peace...why would you ever fear such a thing? Celebrate it!

Everything you have been working so hard towards is coming into fruition. Don't give up, don't slacken the pace. Everything is going to be beautiful, wonderful, bright and full of more hope that you can possibly imagine.

End of the world? End of the old, birth of the new. WW3? A battle, yes, between those who wish to pull the world forward and those who seek to hold it back in the darkness and the fear. Choose what you want, and fight for it. Make that love and compassion and laughter a part of your everyday moments. Focus on it.

Don't slacken the pace. Keep working towards what you have believed in and know that it is coming. It is almost here.

You are love, light and wisdom. Now consciously be that.

You are greatly loved, and we are supporting you and helping you all we can.

You divide life

You divide life into years, and years into months, and months into weeks and weeks into days.

You choose the beginning of your year to set plans for the coming months. You reach the end of your year and lament things left undone.

We have a suggestion. Do not divide your life into time slots during which you will attempts certain things, and give them up at the end of that time slot.

If something is important enough to think about doing, do not give it a time limit. If your choice is to make some emotional changes or mental changes in your life, then that is just the first step. The more time you are able to commit to that the closer you will come to achieving your goal. If you set a time limit on it you will give up as you reach that limit. Isn't it better to just keep on trying, keep on working at it?

Think of all the things that uplift you as well. Think about the things you focus on as you attempt your 'goals'. Are your negative thoughts getting in the way? Are the bringing your vibration down?

If one of your goals is to attain a high degree of spiritual understanding, to 'lighten' your vibration, then the negative thoughts you so frequently harbor are going to be like an anchor as you try to fly. Often your goals are left unfulfilled because of your thought patterns.

Perhaps it is your thoughts that you need to work on first, and trust us, you cannot put a time limit on that! It may take a year or more committed effort to shake off a lifetime of negative thought patterns. And yet, you may also achieve it within a month. It depends on you. It takes some people longer, depending on how ingrained the pattern was in the first place. Never give up, that is our advice to you.

There is also the issue of self analysis. Are you ready to admit that you tend to be addicted to resentment, criticism, refusal to forgive, arrogant pride....we could go on, but you understand what we mean. You must first admit to the problem before you can begin to change it, to replace it with something more positive.

Admission is the first step, and then comes the catching yourself every time the thought pattern happens again. Noticing that the thought is there, letting it go and looking for something more positive to focus on.

Do not expect other people to be perfect. Do not expect yourself to be perfect. Just do your best, again and again and again, forgiving yourself every time you slip up.

Any goal that you set yourself must be important, otherwise why would it be a goal? So think about the many ways you can work towards it, and how your thoughts may be getting in the way. Change the thought patterns, believe in yourself, and keep trying.

Do not divide you live into time slots. It is too easy to quit when you do that. If it takes a lifetime to learn patience....then that is a lifetime well spent.

If it takes a lifetime to learn to love unconditionally...then it is a lifetime well spent.

All any of us can do is our best. All we ask of you is: try.

When you feel offended

When you feel offended, insulted, looked down upon...pause and ask yourself. Is this truly intentional? Could I be reading something into the words through my own insecurities? Are the words I am hearing/reading ambiguous? Could I be misunderstanding? Do these words push my buttons?

In so many cases people react with anger, resentment and frustration because they have misunderstood something, read into the words something that was never there. Sometimes you do have 'buttons' and when you feel they are being pushed you react quite strongly.

Sometimes, of course, the offense or insult may be intentional.

What can you do? Firstly, if there is any hint at all, any suggestion that maybe the offense was not intentional: let the whole thing go, release it. If, however, you really feel it was intentional, consider that maybe you are wrong. If you cannot consider that you were wrong, consider the most beneficial way, for you, to handle it.

Don't get all caught up in knots about it. Don't vent and rage and spit and fight. Think about what is beneficial for you. Does getting angry and mean benefit you in any way? No, they drag your vibration down. The negative responses that you choose will all drag you down. Can you, perhaps, simply decide that you do not agree with what you have heard or read, but that every person is entitled to their opinion? Can you release the matter entirely before it becomes a problem?

Some people feel insulted, offended, and so they seek to vent that upon the world, and all that does is drag the world down. Consider that if one person says a hundred different things and you disagree with one of them, then they have done pretty well, you have agreed on many points. Don't let one disagreement fuel something to your detriment.

It is a universal truth that what you give to the world you will receive. For the vindictive and critical, they will receive that back. For the compassionate and peaceful, they will receive that back. Sometimes you will receive something you feel you do not deserve, sometimes you will be abused for something you did not do or did not intend to do. Sometimes this happens to teach you, to give you tools to deal with such occasions. Sometimes you deal with it all wrong, sometimes you look back on it and sigh, and yet, you learn, in the process, a better way to handle it. You learn.

People make mistakes, but not all the time. Forgive them for the errors that they make. If they get it right most of the time, forgive them when they get it wrong.

Does abusing another person serve you and the world well? No. It drags down the vibration of the ALL. Many people do not understand this, and yet many do. Those who do have, in recent years, doubled and tripled their efforts to raise the vibration of humanity.

If a person makes a mistake. Forgive them. Better still, let it go before it is even an issue. When you look at the issue in comparison to what is going on in the world, many things are so insignificant we can never understand why you make them such a big deal.

A big deal is people dying of starvation, people living on the streets, villages wiped out in mudslides, teenagers getting beaten and shot, drugs in schools, murder, war, violence, cruelty, despair, indifference, the list goes on and on.

When you get annoyed about that spilt milk, bumped car, impatient driver, harsh words, perceived offence, ask yourself, 'is this truly important?'

You are very loved, and all that we ask is for you to allow yourself to feel that love and to radiate it into the world.

Your thoughts create

Your thoughts create your world.

If you believe that when the winds blows from a certain direction that you will get a headache every time, then you will. But, if you change that thought to, 'I understand that sometimes when the wind blows from that direction I get a headache', then you will find you get less headaches, until eventually you stop associating that wind with headaches--and thus stop getting so many headaches.

If you have a physical problem with your body and you affirm 'my leg/hip/arm/back is 'stuffed'' then you are affirming that it is. But, if you can change that thought (and words) to 'I am healing, my body is a work in progress, and day by day my leg/hip/arm/back is healing, and I will be fully healed', then you will open the door to that healing.

If you believe that your workspace has to be specifically laid out, or that you can only do your work in one specific place, then you will not be able to work anywhere else. But if you can change that attitude to 'I am the person doing the work, not my environment, and I can work anywhere, simply by getting myself into the correct mental and emotional state and by being 'open' to the process', you will find that you can indeed work well anywhere. It is nice to have a specific work area devoted to you, with your pictures on the walls, but it is not essential.

If you do not have enough work to keep you going, to generate the income you are seeking, do not lament this. Change your attitude to 'I am open to welcome new work.' When you focus on not having enough work, you perpetuate not having enough work, but when you open up to new work, you invite it in, you open the door. Don't block yourself with your own thought patterns. And do not turn away the work when it comes. It might not be what you were hoping for, and you might want to say 'no thank you' but remember, you asked for more work, and here it is. If you say no you may very well be saying no to all new work. Welcome it, embrace it.

If the meals that you cook for your family each day are unappreciated and you feel unvalued, change your reason for cooking. Do not cook for them, cook for yourself. What would you like to eat? Would you like beef cooked in red wine and garlic with a pile of mashed potatoes? Would you like soft tofu simmered in a vegetable broth, served with rice? Would you like a salad with lettuce, olives, cheese, capers, cherry tomatoes and roasted cashews? Begin to look for recipes that you would enjoy. Don't worry what the rest of the family thinks. You will soon find that not only are you enjoying the meals, but so is everyone else.

Never lament the things lost. Appreciate what you have now. Appreciate the people in your life now.

Spring. The time for making changes

Here in New Zealand it is spring, the season of fresh buds and new growth.

Spring is a season where hope and promise springs eternal. Often people think of January as being the beginning of a new year and of being the time for new resolutions and life changes. Really, spring would be a far better time to make those resolutions.

So, let spring be the time you sit down and examine your life. Are you happy with where you are? Are you happy with who you are? Are you happy with that which fills your days? Are you content to continue with what you have been doing?

For many people the answers will be: 'No I am not happy with where I am at in my life, I am not happy being me, and I am not having any fun in life. I need to make some changes.' We are here to tell you: change away!

Spring is the perfect time.

As you see new growth bursting forth all around you, know also that new growth is bursting forth inside you. The fact that you are not content means that there is a part of you desiring change. This is the time to think about what you desire to change and how you can go about it.

If it is your lack of patience and tolerance that you wish to address, then begin to work on it. Each time a situation arises that tests your patience and tolerance, pause and remind yourself to remain calm and peaceful. The more you do this the easier it will become, until it is your very nature to be patient and tolerant. If you keep giving in to anger and intolerance, then you will never conquer either--and the more you give in to anger the more you will focus on it and thus attract it into your life. Work at it. The rewards you reap will be a more peaceful life and a calmness that envelopes you wherever you go.

It you are not happy in your job, think about whether it is the job, the people, or you who are the problem. Any job is honorable, be it collecting rubbish, or performing surgery. If it is the work then think about what kind of work you would prefer to be doing, and take steps towards getting such a job. If it is the people...well, it is possible that they are reflecting back to your issues that you are unhappy with in yourself. Try to understand why you react to the people the way you do. Some people have huge overblown issues in their life that they blame for their moods and responses. If you work with such a person, simply accept that their moods, emotions, and actions are entirely their choice. Do not buy into it. Do not allow them to draw you into an emotional drama. An argument ends when one person walks away from it. Own your own moods, emotions and words. Own them. Take responsibility for them. Do not blame them on anyone else--they are your choice.

It you desire to lose weight, examine your diet and commit to making some change. And then stick to those changes! This is the perfect season for salads. If you can cut out all the foods in your diet that dieticians say are bad for you, such as chocolate, alcohol, sweets, fizzy drinks, you may find that your mood balances out and you have more energy. Once you experience such results you will find it easier to stick to your new way of eating. It is a life change.

If you feel there is a lack of spirituality in your life, take the time to sit quietly and meditate. Read spiritual books, listen to meditation music, go to spiritual fairs, buy crystals, whatever it is that you feel you need to do to draw that spirituality into your life. Hopefully you will reach a point when you can sit, close your eyes, and BE that spirituality in your life. The rewards here are huge: inner peace, joy, laughter.

Spring. New growth. This is the time to examine your life and decide if you would like to make some changes.

We hope this has been of some guidance.

Your relationship with God

Is a very personal one.

That is how it should be.

How can you embrace the understanding of love if it is only every explained to you in words and descriptions? To know what love is you must embrace it and know it for yourself.

And that is how it is with your relationship with God.

You cannot know God merely by sitting listening to a man talk about Him. You must embrace the very concept of God, and allow yourself to 'feel' His love in order to begin to know Him.

Many of you have been told that you cannot talk to God. That is untrue. You can talk to God, you should talk to God, about anything and everything. He is listening.

God loves each and every person, each and every animal, each and every tree, each and every rock...He loves everything. It does not matter if you feel you have made mistakes or 'screwed up', because He doesn't judge you. He just loves you.

For so long people have felt distant from God. They have feared Him. It is time to get to know Him.

How?

When you look at a flower, remind yourself: God made this flower.

When you look at the clouds floating across the sky, remind yourself, God made the sky and the clouds.

When you eat an apple, remind yourself, God made this apple.

Everything you see, was made my God. Learn to accept that and appreciate that.

And, when you are ready, open your eyes, and your heart and accept that there is nothing that is not God. The flower, the sky, the clouds, the apple, it is all God.

You have felt, for so long, distant from God and yet God is what you are.

In the beginning there was God and nothing but God...so what do you think he made the ALL out of? Himself.

To know and love God is to know and love yourself. To know and love yourself is to know and love God.

Do not be afraid of God. Build a personal relationship with Him, so that you can grow to know Who You Truly Are.

See that person over there? That person is God too. Accept them as such, love them as such.

Life is not devoid of meaning. Life is not chaos and terror. It is only those things because that is what you create. If you created the reality of God in your everyday moments, then that is the reality you will create.

The reality of every moment of your day, is in your hands, within your mind.

What will you do with this knowledge?
