The movie Avatar awakens us to the idea that there is a consciousness beyond what we can touch, feel or see. There is a unity with all life that connects us as a whole.
The human mind is bound by time, space and conditions. But as we deepen in our realization of Spirit we move into another dimension of being. It is the experience of looking beyond the appearances of the world and knowing that there is something more powerful, more expansive that what our limited imaginations can perceive.
Every time we move into the silence in meditation or prayer, we touch into that divine consciousness. On our spiritual journey, we listen with more that our human ears. We listen with an awareness of something much greater and an expectation of something good. As Ernest Holmes states, “The mind which we discover within us is the Mind that governs everything. This is The Thing Itself, and we should recognize its simplicity.”

I noticed one day how I was complaining about my body: A sore shoulder, pain in my back, a bad hair day.
Fortunately, I caught myself. If universal law works for one part of life, it works for all of life. So it is in my best interest to find words of Truth to put my attention on. Charles Fillmore says, “The law is that my body is transformed by the renewing of the mind.” The more I acknowledge my flexibility, strength and energy (even on those days where it feels like I don’t have any), the greater my experience.
I bless my body temple and my vitality, energy, stamina and endurance. I am grateful God is gracious.

The definition of evolution is the development of ideas. Our consciousness is the result of ideas generated in our minds. Our spiritual evolution is the unfolding of Christ consciousness into our expression.
More simply stated: As we connect with our Divine Self and stay centered in faith, we continue to evolve and grow. We are more willing to set aside our limiting thoughts and beliefs. As we evolve we become more aware of the spiritual qualities such as Love, Balance, Beauty, Freedom and Abundance.
We are always evolving and growing. However, our commitment to walk our spiritual path accelerates our evolutionary journey. It truly is a blessing.

Promises to restore youthful appearance, energy and vitality are abundant in our world today. Millions of dollars are spent on lotions, potions and creams to slow down the aging process and keep us looking and feeling youthful.
If you’ve been on the spiritual journey for a while, you know that the process works from the inside out. It’s the clinging emotions on the inside that clogs our energy and vitality. Resentment, anger, victim-thinking saps our energy and keeps us tired and run-down.
The cleansing process starts on the inside with forgiveness, self-love and acceptance. Have you ever noticed that when a problem is solved or an issue resolved you feel lighter like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders? Freedom started on the inside. It changes how we carry ourselves and how we respond to others.
There is only one secret potion that will restore youth, vitality and vigor. It is Love. We already own it, our work is to allow it to be revealed.

I talked with a friend yesterday and she shared about how much she dislikes her job right now. She is working 10 hour days under stressful conditions and has bad dreams at night about her responsibilities. She feels her life is not her own. I remembered times that I felt so trapped.
It takes a lot of soul searching to get through the layers of fear, resentment and frustration. On the other side is our ability to choose and our ability to love. I watched my own reaction as I was feeling resentment running an errand the other day. I stopped my thoughts from spiraling into being a victim and lifted them into love. It changed my feelings and my attitude. It changed how I was seeing life.
Life is precious. Today I choose God’s Life, Love and Grace.

When Laurence and I moved into our first home together we had a back yard and garden. I purchased the tools, seeds, fertilizer and planted a vegetable garden. I was so excited about my new garden and worked in it every chance I got. The vegetable shoots started coming up and so did the weeds. There were weeds everywhere and no matter how quickly I pulled them up, they just as quickly returned. I weeded every spare minute until I was exhausted and discouraged.
I’ve watched very similar experiences with clients on their spiritual journey. They are so excited, they commit to lots of time, energy and resources expecting to eliminate old beliefs immediately and permanently. It is easy to get discouraged as we watch the old beliefs resurface again and again.
The practice is working, it just takes time. As with anything new, we learn to balance our enthusiasm and zeal with patience and persistence. We find balance in meditation, prayer and contemplation. It’s necessary to build a foundation of faith for our greater Good to be revealed.
