Excerpts from 2003 Musings Vol. II

Each of us must ultimately find our own path. There are some roads that have been created that we can follow if we so choose between established destinations. But, the interesting places are in the unknown realms of consciousness ... at least, the most interesting places for me.

There is always a way to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is primarily a matter of attitude.

Does this expression serve people in some way? At the very least it provides some exercise for the consciousness. That alone makes it worth the price of admission as they say.

There is a destiny that is playing itself out in my life right now, a spiritual destiny. I believe this to be true for each of us if we seriously examine our lives. It is for us to find what this destiny is for us, and then to do it to the best of our ability.

We have chosen an interesting time in which to incarnate. At no time in history have the opportunities for spiritual expression been as great.

Life is not necessarily meant to be fully understood. The unknown has its place. It is an important part of nearly everything that we do. We can do things to try to mitigate it and minimize its impact. But, it will not go away no matter what we do.

We need to go through life with an attitude of expectancy. We need to expect that spirit will provide us the help that we need when we need it in our lives.

What we can receive is often limited by what we feel that we are worthy of receiving.

Change happens when we make it happen. We have to believe that it can happen. We have to want it to happen. And, we have to do things consistent with making it happen.

More than anything else, we are consciousness enfleshed, we are spirit having a physical experience.

Know Thyself! This is a spiritual directive. It is not an option. Though, there is nothing that says it is a requirement for each of us in this particular existence.

Express whom that you are. Manifest the destiny that is yours to manifest. Make your mark on the world. Do something, anything, that makes a difference. Make sure that you leave the world a better place for your having lived. That is what ultimately counts in life.

Cooperative interdependence is how we create the synergy necessary to do great works ... and these are great things that we are trying to achieve.

Consciousness is the key that unlocks all the doors. In fact, she is the very mansion of the Self. She is the stuff in all of the rooms behind all of the doors.
Until we know whom that we are and what we are capable of ... we have no idea where we fit within the fabric of society.

The more passionate we are about what we are doing the greater the difference that we will make. It is amazing what happens when we do what we love to do. There is a powerful force that is unleashed to do great works.

Purpose is that way. It resonates with us. When we discover what ours is, it fits us like a tight glove. There is no doubt as to whether it is ours to do. We will know.

What can one person do? Clearly the answer is a lot ... far more than we might suspect, especially when spirit is doing the work.

Rights always come with their corresponding responsibilities. There is no free lunch. But responsibilities do not have to be experienced as burdens.

Life is what we make of it ... no more and no less.

Spirit must be given a vehicle through which to speak. This stream of consciousness is the greatest gift that I can give to the world at this time. It is by far the most productive use of my time that I am engaged in.

By walking in my stream of consciousness, perhaps you will encounter something about your own ... and you will in the process learn something about yourself that you never knew you never knew.

It is within our power to create the world to be whatever we choose for it to be both individually and en masse. It is a matter of deciding what we want to create

Elegance is important. We need to do things efficiently and effectively to the degree that we can. Wasted resources can never be recovered.

We are powerful creators, each and every one of us. What we command to be so ... will become so, provided that we do it congruently.

Every moment wasted is lost forever, never to be recovered. Unfortunately, that is how the game works. We can only lose time ... we can't gain it back.

The goal is to create a society that I would want to be a part of. How's that for a goal for a Hermit? Yet, I do so dream of living in an ideal community.

We live in a miraculous realm where we possess the power to create the reality that we experience. That most of us don't realize that we are doing this is a failure of our religions and educational system.

I have reached a point where what I do in and of my own is of far less importance than what spirit does through me. I am a willing instrument for the expression of consciousness. I believe this to be the highest service that I can provide. And, at this point in my life, service has the highest priority.

We must allow each moment its whole fullness and avoid rushing from one to the next as much as we can. This can be hard at times ... especially when we know that greater things are in store.

At some point, we have to accept that we have done enough ... and enough is enough.
