Today is never an exception to any other day, so I must remember that everyday I must be present, and willing to prepare myself for each moment of that day, and act as if that were my last. I must place myself in front of the oncoming challenges, and be ready to greet all in the best possible way, in-spite of your reaction to me. I should be willing to help my fellow participants in life, who need assistance. I should not judge anyone that I see, before I am introduced. I must be at peace with me, and not let anyone steal the day from me, by letting them stay in the space reserved for peace. I should have a song in my heart, that pleases my soul, and all these things should be, what creates my momentary universe. So if I know this why is it that this is the hardest things to accomplish?

Well for me, it’s that I, I, I, word, me, me, me, the chant that’s most pervasive in my head. I have spent thousands of minutes, hours, days, and years, trying not to be so selfish, self centered, egotistic, and painfully fearful. It is always that I am not willing to let go, just holding on to my stuff, no matter what the cost. Progress sometimes is just to slow, I suffer from, RIGHT NOW, I want what I want!

Fortunate for me the Power of the one who has different plans, started showing me the blueprints, of the construction of the new house, and what I had to do, to make things more suitable, for me to live there. I hope you don’t think I’m joking! Life has handed me circumstances, that left me know choice, but to change, my entire way of thinking about you, me , and that power. I am no longer willing to challenge or risk, trying to get my way, it’s useless, when my will is in play, I lose! I truly understand the laws and principles, that I need to follow, this is no longer up for debate. I must surrender all, to win! I stayed until that miracle happened, and I am holding on, SERIOUSLY, for dear life, and enjoying the ride.

PEACE OUT. M

The word “action” is a very sacred word, it symbolizes movement, thus affecting change, either good or bad, which is dictated by choice. Choices are governed by thought and necessity, but what happens if my thoughts are overridden by an obsession, that renders me powerless to the choice I have to make. I then will proceed to do what ever it takes, to fulfill the purpose of that obsession, making it difficult to manage my affairs, unless that need is met first. This is the story of my life, always driven by the obsession to fulfill the need, before everything else in front of me. This is a great description of a “false idol”, one of the mentions in the Ten Commandments. It took a long time to understand this simple thing, that every time I placed something in front of the truth, of what the repercussions of making that choice was, it can and will put my life in a spin.

It doesn’t matter what the image of that looks like, it is still false, If I place it in front of that TRUTH. I have spent many hours, talking and sharing, with others, who like myself had been consumed, by the beast of their obsessions, and then finding grace, that helps too regain the most valuable of our possessions, our life.  It is the most humbling, and beautiful moment, when you realize that fact. It is the most incredible illumination, so subtle in nature, but so grandeur in moment. I have been witness to this transformation in myself and 100’s of others. When we place ourselves in the Light of spirit, and start to transform selfish, into usefulness, we gain dignity lost, shame diminished, esteem restored, a product of simple principles applied, this is the true definition of “ACTION” in it’s truest form. I am so indebted, to simple phrases like “Faith without works is dead” and “this is a spiritual program of action”  the keys to freedom for me.

PEACE OUT. M
