One of the most powerful, and deeply spiritual, ways to work for social change is for us to take action in the present that embodies — right now — the future vision that we seek. ~ Rabbi Arthur Ocean Waskow Our future vision is our personal vision that begins to manifest once we learn how…

A MIRACLE WORKER
A miracle worker is an artist of the soul. There’s no higher art than living a good life. An artist informs the world of what’s available behind the masks we all wear. That’s what we’re all here to do. The reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we’re not yet…
THE MEANING OF SOUL
How could the soul not take flight when from the glorious Presence a soft call flows sweet as honey, comes right up to her and whispers, “Rise up now, come away.” ~ Rumi ~ Man is made up of physical material, the body, that can be seen and touched. But he is also made…
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD NEED PEACE
Peace is the feeling that you are safe. We all need peace, especially the children of the world. Children require security to feel whole. We need to protect the children from harm as well as we can, and we need to do a better job of it. This is one of the best things we…
KEY TO SPIRITUAL POWER
I used to pray that God would give me something — strength, wisdom, patience, the solution to a problem. I was forever telling God what was wrong with my life and what God needed to do to fix it. Today, I talk things over with God to decide what I can do, not what God…
SENSATION OF THE MYSTICAL
The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the power of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know what is impenetrable to us really…
SEPTEMBER 11th PRAYER
Sweet Spirit: We have not forgotten the events of September 11, 2001 or the many people who have served all around the globe since that day. We share the sorrow of everyone who has lost someone they loved to war and terrorism. Bring us all a sense of comfort without bitterness. Together, we yearn for that day when all people…
LIVE IN THE PRESENT
Always say “Yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is? What could be more insane that to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? ~Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment) ~ “Ordinary thoughts course…
SAD TO HAPPY
If you’re like most people, you’re not always happy. You get stressed, depressed, angry, anxious, aggravated, or frustrated… often. Those emotions and moods prevent you from being happy. You are way bigger than any sadness and any problem you might be facing. And whenever you think otherwise, it’s only because you allowed your mind to…
MITCH ALBOM ON LOVING OTHERS
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself…
IMMORTALITY
According to the Bible, Immortality in the sense of continuous or endless existence, is attributed to all spirits, including the human soul. It is one of the doctrines of natural religion or philosophy that, when the body is dissolved, the soul does not share in its dissolution, but retains its identity as an individual being….
PRAYER FOR AN OPEN HEART
Sweet Spirit: Our world seems, at times, focused on things intellectual; obsessed with facts, figures and action plans. Open my heart to the Love beyond facts alone. Help me see, hear and live with an open and receptive heart. I intend to live this day fully and freely; holding nothing back. And so it is. …
STRENGTH OF THE INFINITE
When we realize that the strength of the Infinite is our strength and that the strength of the Infinite is limitless, we must come to the conclusion that we are capable of doing anything that the living of a great life may demand. ~ Christian D. Larson (The Pathway of Roses) ~ He gives power to…
BE YOUR BEST
Say little, and love much; give all; judge no man; aspire to all that is pure and good. ~ White Eagle ~ Let’s all strive to be the best we can be. One way is doing things today that will make us better tomorrow, and if we continue that pattern day after day, we are…
OUR BRILLIANCE
Don’t ask God to send you a brilliant career, but rather ask Him to show you the brilliance within you. It is the recognition of our brilliance that releases it into expression. Stable, meaningful external effects don’t occur until we’ve experienced an internal stirring. Once an internal stirring has occurred, external effects cannot fail to…
