InSpire - Breath and Let Go

 Breath & Let Go'
With the boat out of the water being worked on, I resumed my morning walk on the beach. Taking deep breaths as I walk, I remember this oxygen here on the South Carolina coast is of the purest of the world. Coming off the ocean, there is no island between here and the Straits of Gibralter. So the air coming off the Mediterraen and the desert of Africa travels over the Sargasso Sea and the Gulfstream, which are both extra purifying phenomena. How fortunate I am to live here! I feel so refreshed. Even with the boat back in the water, i will find a way to keep walking on the beach, bicycliing or sailing in this wonderful healing geography!
Breath and let go!

O Great Spirit, I awake to another sun,
grateful for gifts bestowed,
granted one by one.

War With Somebody - look Within!

"...this internal war that creates dis-ease, is simply life trying to show you the damage being done by holding on to that which is not true;"

Tigmonk
When people war against you, take comfort in knowing that they only war against themselves. If you take up this war of another, then it is a clear sign that within you is a war that has yet to be dealt with.

Be of good cheer though, this internal war that creates dis-ease, is simply life trying to show you the damage being done by holding on to that which is not true.

Only a stressful thought keeps you from being Love

The Work of Byron Katie

No one who says “I should love myself” knows what love is. Love is what we are already. To think that you should love yourself when you don’t is delusion. Isn’t the turnaround truer? “I shouldn’t love myself.” That’s it, for now. The truth is no respecter of spiritual concepts. Love is not a doing. And when you question your mind, you can see that the only thing that keeps you from being love is a stressful thought.

It's All Thought!

The mental and emotional act of taking full responsibility for your own circumstances will make a pivotal difference in your life. Do not succumb to playing the victim. Nothing is ever enough IF we judge that we are not enough. Joy is centered in self-acceptance; it is freedom from self-judgment.

Love Yourself

Self Love Means... I no longer Blame others and I start taking responsibility for my own actions ~ ♥ ♥ ♥

Your Future is Energized by Your Attention Now

(Attention is the key. So if you are focused upon things that make you unhappy, expect more of it. And if you are focused upon what makes you feel good, rich, fulfilled, excited, expect more of that. It is that simple.)
(
"...God realizes Himself through you. The universe is woefully incomplete without you.")
 You are each an aspect of the Great Divine Being. You are each cells in that Great Body. And just as the cells of your body don’t exactly know what you are up to all of the time, so you do not have access to the whole picture while you are immersed in physical form. It’s OK. You are still part of the Whole Being that is God: All That Is: Source.

Source sees the world through every one of you. Source knows and experiences life through each of you. As we have said before, without you, Source has nowhere to go.

Why do we emphasize this so often? Because you must know, acknowledge, who you are in all of this, in order to realize it—to make it physical—and realize the fullness of your potential here. And the Source of All wants you to figure it out so that you express more, live more, experience more. You cannot fulfill your potential while you regard yourself as a little speck, or see yourself as somehow insignificant; it's just not true.

You are God. If that is too much for you, then think of God as being you; you are a microcosmic reflection and reenactment of All That Is. God realizes Himself through you. The universe is woefully incomplete without you.

Your field of experience is uniquely expressive of the Desire of the One to be whole. That wholeness is expressed outward through your focal point of attention in the world. Your future experience is energized by your attention to things now. So you are creating more of whatever you attend to. Attention is the key. So if you are focused upon things that make you unhappy, expect more of it. And if you are focused upon what makes you feel good, rich, fulfilled, excited, expect more of that. It is that simple.

But just as your little index finger doesn’t really have to worry about where your feet are taking you, you needn’t worry about where the Source of All is taking your field—your personal cell of experience—today. Relax. Enjoy. Appreciate the ride and find more joyful things to focus your attention upon.

Imagine how you would feel if God would just smile upon you for this one day? That’s how your world feels when you smile upon it. That’s how people feel, and things, and events, and even the molecules of air and water feel joyful exuberance when you smile upon them. In this field of experience, this cell of the Great Body, you are Creator. So we think it is well worth it to pry the ego’s fear-driven fingers off of the steering wheel, and let your larger Self take control. You are steering the ship of creation with your attention.
 
Namaste,

Just a drop in the ocean?

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.

 But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Blessed Mother Teresa

Stay in your own business

The Work of Byron Katie
To believe the story that someone has left you is to leave yourself. That’s how you divorce yourself. Every time you’re in your partner’s business, dictating whom he should be with, whom he should or shouldn’t leave, you have left yourself, and the effect of that is loneliness and terror. Until you question what you believe, you remain the innocent cause of your own suffering.

To enter the gates of Heaven, come as a child again

Bobby Hinkle 
Purity means innocence, just like a small child who knows nothing of what is good and what is bad. Become a child again. Go beyond duality, Transcend polar opposites: good and bad, night and day, love and hate, life and death, this world and that world, the sinner and the saint. In most religions the sinner is defined by what is good and what is bad, but who follows the bad. The saint is defined b...y one who knows what is good and what is bad, but follows the good. But one who returns to a childlike state knows not what is good and what is bad, but has gone beyond both...and is no longer interested in those divisions. He lives in a choiceless awareness. This is true purity.
Written by me, but Inspired by Osho.
