TRUE THANKS

Let us turn our thoughts towards gratitude

today, knowing even our most jubilant thanks

falls short of the true worth of this being,

this existence - no momentary, or even

lasting concern casts a shadow upon this,

our very aliveness.

As we prepare to give thanks, feasting

on our very abundance, let us recall that

we are the hands and feet of the Divine

based good in the world, recommitting

ourselves to our scared promise,

to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

So let us look for our opportunity to

return our favor - an act of random

kindness, a gesture of goodwill, a hand

outstretched in a time of need, a word

of endearing encouragement - knowing

true thanks is best expressed with action

in a world so in need of our compassion.

prevail – prove more powerful than

opposing forces; be victorious.

 

Determination, I believe, is the creative force

of our human existence: the ability to prevail,

to prove more powerful than the opposing forces –

be they fate, nature, lethargy, inner self-doubt,

fear, the opposition of others – well-meaning or

just plain malicious.

 

I don’t really believe in or give much credence to,

purposeful supernatural negative forces, such as

a devil, but I do believe in counter-forces, that

every action, positive or negative, is often met

with an opposing action, as life itself resists

change and adaptation.

 

We, humankind, are the rare natural agents

for change and creation within current existence,

other than entropy, which is built into the natural

system.

 

So, how do we prevail? The note below suggests

it is with persistence, with our sights fixed on the

goal - this goal fully imagined and shaped in our

thinking then held in thought with belief until it,

through our efforts or otherwise, attracts and

creates and forms its likeness.  

  

PERSISTENCE WILL PREVAIL

The waves of life at times may pound us,

disrupting our forward progress, thwarting

our planned momentum, yet if we persist

to venture onward with our sights fixed on

the goal – refusing to give up or give in –

persistence will prevail.

 

A thought held firm and not relinquished,

will outlast even a steady torrent of ill

fortune: if believed and held as truth

in prayer – so let us tend and grow

our strong intentions - sure in our

convictions.

 

All that is sure and worthy – our hopes,

dreams and pursuits may find their

form in our imaginings, shaped in our

thinking - held true in our believing,

attracted by our creating – until even

the winds of outrageous fortune fail

to impede our steady endeavors.

Are we, as the note below conveys, in some way

standing in front of our cup of plenty and not

able to see the truth of our own good fortune 

overflowing?

 

What seems to hold me back at times from full

belief and acceptance in this Law Of Good is the

reality of the pain and suffering in my world and

the world at large. It seems illogical to say that 

we are overflowing with good when this intense

suffering exists in our world, and we are all,

at times, forced to experience some sort of

misery. 

 

But perhaps, all of this suffering is simply

what occurs in a world that is based on free

will. In fact, do we not actually learn from

our suffering, and as a result, are able to 

adjust and grow, so the next time we are

not in so much pain, or possibly, avoid it

altogether.  

 

My thought here is that the world of good,

and the world of suffering is not in some

way interrelated in a negative sense, that

is, the existence of one does not, in some

aspect, nullify, disprove, or impact 

the existence of the other. They are

mutually exclusive.

 

So, let us go forward with all suffering

aside, grasping for our cup of plenty,

and drink our fill.

 

CUP OF PLENTY?

Reach inside this day and grasp the good

waiting for you to receive clear abundant

good flowing in torrents towards you,

requiring only an open heart and a receptive

mind – know this is your birthright,

your perfect gift for being.

 

Realize there is no doubt, fear, or negative

perspective that can impede this flow,

if you are in full belief, lift your spirit fully

aligned, willing, and open to drink from

this cup of plenty – so today, turn away

from why not and instead embrace

the everlasting truth.

 

Turn, accept, and receive a good so plentiful,

powerful, and resourceful, it will wake you,

refresh you, and carry you to place

of wonder and magnificence, taking you

in due course to a lasting vision of heaven,

here and now and always.

DOOR LEFT AJAR

Today, let us not move away from the

possibilities life presents - stepping back

because we are caught off guard, ill

prepared for the “chance” encounter -

and instead, moving forward, take

hold with a firm grasp and a ready heart.

 

As we do, let us embrace the adventures

beckoning us, to jettison our fear and live

more fully, to ride the wave of a fresh

perspective, to offer our souls new

nourishment.

 

So today, let us be vigilant in our being,

careful not to overlook, or underestimate

the potential impact of even a small

possibility, a slight opportunity, a door

left ajar, and promise ourselves not

to be left behind.

FULL PROSPERITY

Prosper and find the full wonder of existence.

Prosper in all you think, feel, and do.

Prosper in your job, at home, and in the world.

Prosper spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

Prosper and reap the full bounty of the

abundance of your life.

 

When you prosper, you are in a state of continual

grace – always receiving more than you need –

more today than yesterday. Prosperity is a state

of growth, positive creation, and getting more

than expected while always moving forward.

 

Prepare yourself for full prosperity. The first step

is to believe that you are worthy, deserving, 

and fully ready for prosperity. Look for, search out, 

reflect on, and visualize the prosperity that

surrounds you. List and meditate on how you are

prospering.

 

Prosperity requires the full alignment of your

conscious thoughts, expectations, and emotions

focused through prayer, affirmations, and

meditations. When you are thriving and growing

in a positive direction, you are prospering. Feel 

prosperous – feel the prosperity.

 

To prosper is to move forward with the world in

positive alignment, supporting your wants, and

growing on the foundation of your current

existence. It is an explosion of grace, a continual

gift of growth and good fortune.

 

Prosper spiritually and move closer to the path 

where you are in alignment and in true harmony

with your authentic self. Feel the growth and

rejoice.

 

Prosperity is now – here – walk around the corner

and claim it.

BE EXPANSIVE - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSIITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

I think all of us, at times, approach life

tentatively, like a shy child stepping onto

the stage for the first time, and it is exactly

this hesitant manner that slows our progress,

whittles away our confidence and leaves

us compromising rather than establishing

our well-earned success.

 

Having received the note below titled

Be Expansive, while meditating this morning,

I realize it is time for some self-reflection.  

I am not timid when it comes to pursuing the

larger than life idea/project/dream, but then

I often stuff it into a box that is much too

confining, eventually neutralizing the

idea/project/dream to ensure it is quote –

manageable, feasible, doable – and I am

often content to live within the confines

of this self-created box, even if the final

results are less than desired. Guess it is

time to free my cramped undertakings by 

letting each go free range. Thus, in my way,

testing the waters of being expansive.

 

BE EXPANSIVE

Allow the fresh ideas to flow today,

opening your consciousness to the vast

possibilities of this existence, be expansive,

shun the limitations real or perceived,

welcome the inspiration, the input,

the guidance available to enhance your

efforts, being bold in this exploration,

brainstorming with the fullness of infinite

intelligence – know you are the conduit

for the creative energy of God: so let

this force that propels all beingness incite

your imagination, let it set flame to your

wonder, embolden your claim to magnificence,

let it breathe the breath of the everlasting into

your perspective; as you grasp the throttle -

the thrust of life stretching to soar unhindered.

WITHIN THE RUBBLE

We are destined to shine even if our lives

may appear to indicate otherwise, even if,

at this time, it is hard to accept the truth,

hard to comprehend why what we do not want,

we often, now, encounter each day.

 

We are destined to flourish even if our dreams

fail to materialize, leaving us often disheartened

with less rather than the more we so rightly deserve,

leaving us perplexed regarding what we need to

do to clarify our desired intentions.

 

We are destined to excel, flourish, shine,

to soar above the current situation when we realize

that within the perceived rubble exists the very

foundation of all we need to secure the life

of our dreams, beckoning us to sift carefully,

so we might find the key.

OUR DETERMINATION

The strength of existence lies in determination,

the ability and willingness to continue onward,

forward without delay or hesitation, with a sense

of hope for what may only be a dim notion,

a hunch, an inspiration calling us towards

a greater and more potent good; beckoning us.

 

It is with this element of faith that existence

has been forged and formed, chiseled from

dreams and insights, thoughts and fantasies

alike, causing rational beings to forgo

a cautious now for the prospect of a riskier,

but more worthy tomorrow.

 

Every creative impulse and act is a reflection

of this yearning and learning process,

a bubbling up of possibility persuading our 

smoldering desire to catch flame and ignite,

to form something from an extension

of thought, to use our sweat, our strength,

our determination to fulfill the destiny

of our evermore worthy existence.
