inner peace

Even when there are forces around us that are negative we can keep our inner peace. We can ask that our center of peace be protected from negative speaking, or things that might happen around us. This way we also remain peaceful and spread a feeling of peace.

thy peace

"Thy peace" is the peace of God. This is the key to spiritual solutions. Having God's peace. Sharing God's peace. Exemplifying God's peace.

saint francis

The rest of the book is focused on the famous prayer by St Francis of Assisi. Lets refresh our memories of it.

Lord, make me and instrument of thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me so love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

slowing down

Easy words today. Slow down in order to feel the higher vibrations. Put away being flustered and impatient. Unless it's life threatening, you have time to wait.

"Be still and know that I am God"
Holy Bible

nobility is about personal progression

We measure our spiritual growth by how much better we are now than we used to be, not by how much better we are than someone else. We all have the ability to grow and we all have something to teach each other. For spiritual growth we want to teach of things like love, peace, and forgiveness. These are eternal. Put ego aside that wants to teach winning, being right, strong and at the top of the heap.
Spirit over ego. Caring for others over getting ahead.

judgment

"When you judge another person you do not define them. You merely define yourself as someone who needs to judge."

Wayne W. Dyer

don't fight your problems

Today's reading took some thought. We must not resist evil. If we push against it, it validates it. It gives it power and goes against the knowledge of there only being one power, good. Wayne says "... bring the spirit of God to all perceived evil and that alone will transform it into good".
When we fight against things it creates a counter force. Gives credence to that which we don't want. The focus needs to remain on the desired outcome and that will disintegrate the problem. We need to always work within the power of good and it will bring light to our lives. "the very presence of light nullifies all the darkness".

Conclusion: use the only one power. God that is good.

no lack in God's law

There is no lack in God's law. He offers us all that he has. He tells us that all things are possible. We need to have the confidence to move forward toward what we want to accomplish and do so with the understanding that God will help it to unfold as we move through it. It is that simple. What more do we want God to do?

harmony is natural

God is always good. Mind is good and evil. Mind- as the captain controls body- which is the boat. Mind engaged stays connected to God. Mind as idyll will be subjected to the possibility of falling into evil. Since we are connected to god by spirit our natural state is with him and therefor harmonious. At this conscious level we have no limitations. We will be able to manage life. We will find our divinity and realize the ability to remove illusion from our lives.

God undivided

Because of God's nature he cannot be good and evil. He isn't there one day and gone the next. He is always good and always there. I feel like I'm just repeating myself but we are the one's that get in the way.
Good is created by God. Evil or bad is created by mortal beings separating ourselves from God putting ourselves in Satan's influence.

being spirit

Today is to the point. We walk around hoping to be more spiritual human beings. We say things to ourselves like "I wish I felt more spiritual" or if we are feeling very spiritual we might say "Well I'm certainly more spiritual than that person". This is our ego talking.
It's not about feeling spiritual. We are spirit. Period. We may reside within a mortal body and have feelings, but it doesn't matter if we feel it or not. We are spiritual because we are spirits at our center. All we need to do is keep this in our awareness and be who we are.

tapping into power

Today's reading puts forth the idea that God's power doesn't come over us, but rather it is the only power in the universe and we need to tap into it. And that evil occurs when we are not tapped in. That if we can grab hold of this concept then we will always want to tap in so we will not be part of creating evil around us.
Of course unless everyone in the world is tapped in, we will always deal with evil things. There will be less evil though if those of us who realize this will get up every morning and make a commitment to be dialed into to God energy. Just think if everyday just one more person dialed in. And then one more and one more. Pretty soon the high frequency energy would raise greatly and evil would start to diminish.
My own personal belief is that the the evil comes from Satan. But I agree that Satan only has power if we hand it over to him. I believe that if we are connected to God and his power that Satan is powerless and only one power can exist.

punishment

Today's reading is short and sweet. God doesn't punish. It is our lack of connection that brings about unwanted or evil things. God doesn't do it to us, we bring it on ourselves.
My personal take on this is when we shut ourselves off from God, Satan has a hay day. We leave ourselves open to his influence and the influence of our own ego.
Bad combination!

a willing God

Today we need to know that God is always there, willing to support and send us what we need if we will just tap into him. The stronger we will connect the stronger we will become. It's that simple. God wants for us to have all that he has. He is there waiting.
I have to wonder sometimes if God feels frustration the same way we do. I know how hard it is to watch my own children making choices that take them away from the divine and struggle so. It is so hard for me to watch and I get frustrated that they just don't, or don't want to see it for themselves. Can you imagine having a whole world full of children and seeing them stray daily? Almost too much to comprehend.
One caution. God always being there doesn't mean we never taste of things that are hard or live forever because we keep asking and taping in. It means that we can have the ability to keep ourselves as spiritually strong as possible and feel blessed at all times. Even in hardship if we will find the all important growth it will bring lives.

thanks

Just wanted to take a moment to say welcome and thank you to those who leave comments on my blog. It helps me to condense and write about what I'm reading so I can better put it into practice. Your comments also help me to know of truth. Thank you for coming along for the ride.

love and prayer

Today's reading is one I spend a lot of personal time with. Instead of getting caught in the vicious claws of low energy feelings like hate, and anger towards those who hurt or annoy us in some way, we need to learn to love and pray for them.
We have all had a time when someone directs something negative at us and we have the choice to choose kindness or unkindness. You will find remarkable outcomes if you can respond with love and prayers for these people.
In the morning when I have my morning prayers I pray for all those in the world who are suffering. That they might feel Gods love for them. I also pray for all those who are doing evil that they too will feel Gods love through another person so they will hunger after it and have a softening of their hearts to be able to turn away from their evil doing. How else will they ever have a desire to do good if they are not feeling the love of those around them? I would rather pray to keep someone here on earth as a changed individual than pray that they die just because it is easier to get them out of the way.
Choose love and prayer.

mortal, make room for spiritual

Today's reading is about making a choice to stop trying to solve your problems with just your mortal self. Why struggle along alone when you can stop and tap into the divine at anytime? When you yield your mortal self over to the divine, the field of energy is increased and you make room for spirit.
Wayne relates a story about a woman who is diagnosed with cancer and given only a few months to live. She tells no one and takes herself to the woods of northern Minnesota. There she disconnects from the cancer and connects to the divine. She never goes back to the doctors and is still alive 9 years later.
This connection can be this powerful.

Awesome!
