Excerpts from 2003 Musings Vol III

There is no one way that is the way, that is right for everyone.

Change starts with one person believing enough in something to be willing to do what it takes to manifest it.
To some of us, the world of ideas ... of ideals, is just as real, if not more real than the world of form. In fact, we consider ourselves to be in the process of manifesting the world of our imaginations.
Thoughts do have power! The right thoughts at the right times in the right minds have the power to change the world. But only if they cause people to DO SOMETHING that results in the necessary changes.
Life is unfolding before us each and every moment. And, what a grand process it is to behold. Spirit animates it all, every aspect of it ... the bad as well as the good. There is nothing but spirit in expression
To do each day at least one thing that will live on. To say each day one memorable thing that has never been said before. To express each day something new ... something that has never before seen the light of day. If we do this, each day we will have done something that makes a difference.
Our souls are wise beings that know far more than we can begin to contain within the gray matter of our brains.

Patience. Patience. Patience. Spirit will not be rushed. It may seem that the timing of things is urgent, but it is not so urgent as it seems. Things are unfolding exactly as they need to unfold.

Our Self knows exactly where we belong and how best to get us there.
A better world starts with each of us living a better life, and doing things to contribute to improvements in our communities and our world.
We have the power to do great things, individually and collectively. Whether we will tap this power and use it for this purpose remains to be seen.

We always find time to do those things that we value the most. In fact, that is one of the ways to find out what we value the most ... look at where we spend our time, especially our free time.

We are physical beings after all. Part of our task is to be physical. We just need to find ways to be spiritual even as we are physical. That is not so hard to do. We cannot escape being spiritual ... ever!

We need to make masterpieces of our lives ... living masterpieces. Given that we are all masters at the art of reality creation, this should be something that is natural for us. Masters create masterpieces. That is simply what they do. However, few of us are conscious masters at much of anything.

Our souls are not fooled by appearances ... they know the truth!

Mysteries stir our souls. They bring a touch of the miraculous into our lives.

We are literally on the threshold of a dream. It is a collective dream that has been built from the best ideas that have been expressed over the millennia. It is time for this dream to manifest.

It is for us to decide what we will do with our lives. It is for us to make it the masterpiece that it can be. It is for us to make whatever life statements that we choose to make.

That is one of the tricks to life ... to get more you must give more.

Giving more than you take creates a surplus. The more that we do this, the bigger the surplus. Then it is a matter of distribution to ensure that people get what they need.

With the appropriate awareness we can achieve all things because it is ultimately spirit doing the work through us.

The reward for doing what we love to do is unlimited abundance, all that we need will be made available to us. But, we must do the work first.

Every day is a gift from consciousness. It is for us to find a way to use this gift in a manner that serves others in our world. For introverts, this can be a challenge.

Many don't have the follow through to do whatever it takes. However, that is what distinguishes those who succeed in manifesting what they desire from those who don't. It is our actions that determine what we get in life.

It is amazing how the universe works. When we declare our intentions with all of our heart and soul, an army of helpers comes to our aid.

We will not allow ourselves to receive anything more than we believe that we are worth. This is one of the fundamental spiritual laws of economics.

We truly do create our reality. It is within our power to make our lives a living hell or a heaven on earth or anything in between.

The march toward a better future starts with the changes that we make here and now in the present moment.

That is how we make progress in any area of endeavor ... we share. We share of whom that we are, we share of what we know, we share of what we have experienced ... as much as we can.

Awareness is a one way thing. One is either aware of not. And, if you are, it is obvious. If you have to think about it ... you are not.

Awareness is not a mind thing, it is a consciousness thing. You have to go beyond mind to reach it.

We need to watch against anything that is considered to be the way rather than a way.
Beliefs are the garden through which we grow our reality. They filter what we see and what we experience.
Many people have not tended to their gardens hence they have extensive weeds. Unfortunately, unlike with our gardens at home ... we can't hire someone to pull the weeds.
