  • Original Peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.14 – Original Peace

    The peace of choosing to guide yourself is very different from reacting to calm yourself down from what is in the world.

    I learned how to control my breathing and to affirm the independence of my thought in order to keep myself from reacting to the world around me.

    But looking within to find my own original peace is far more effective.

    I have discovered the world within.

    It is a true world, faithful to each one of us.

    It contains our individuality, untainted by any outside world effects.

    It is true peace.

    From this true peace within, we discern who we are.

    Within our identity is our deep purpose, and out of that comes the action we are guided to take.

    When we send out our own original sense of peace, it is felt in the world around us.

    In the midst of hurried chaos, peace stands out.

    It attracts those who are listening for it.

    It is a guiding spark for others to look within and to find their own peace and purpose.

  • Design

    Meditation Drawing 4.15 – Design

    The design of your life is for wholeness.

    Through inner listening, we connect ourselves to Source.

    We receive the messages which urge us to wholeness.

    Each message requires a tiny step of action.

    Action creates the new design.

    The new design is for kindness, towards ourself and everyone else.

    No one is left out of this design.

    The new design is for consciousness.

    We have the opportunity and requirement to become conscious of our Source.

    We live in the design of a Universe Which Loves All of Us.

    We are designed to become mindful.

    Our mindfulness practice leads us to compassion.

    The design of compassion is all-inclusive.

    No one is left out of the design of compassion.

    We are designed to become inspired and willing to do the uplifting work.

    As we receive, so we give, and we give unconditionally.

    The design is to be respectful and to treat everyone with dignity.

    Our inner messages show us how to do this in practical ways.

    We can have a conversation with someone who has been living in isolation.

    We can contribute to well-being in individual ways.

    We can offer a ride.

    The design is to get to know all of us in wholeness and to release fear.

    We have nothing to fear from each other.

    The design is for us to be individual and diverse and interesting and creative.

    The design is for a peaceful mind.

    The design is to embrace everyone in their wholeness.

  • Hidden Forces

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.13 –

    Hidden Forces

    We are discovering the hidden forces within us.

    We are discovering that they have been there all along.

    We have been feeling their influence through intuition and inspiration for a long time.

    Through becoming aware of a deep quiet place within each of us, we are able to listen consciously for guidance from within.

    More and more of us are discovering this place of calm and guidance.

    Some are finding it through meditation.

    Some are finding it through the influence of spiritual writers.

    Some are just noticing the little nudges that come to thought.

    We each receive our own direction and guidance and inspiration.

    We come to some of the same conclusions and find ourselves in the association of others of like mind.

    We are building up to a tipping point where some kind of action or even thought-action will guide the whole planet in its compassion to provide for and take care of all of us.

    Since the planet has been doing this always, we, ourselves, are the ones who are joining our awareness with that of the planet.

    It will become unthinkable to consider some people more important than other people.

    It will become necessary to do all we can to take care of every one of us.

    Such is the great guidance of love and compassion that is coming to more and more people all over the planet.

    Practicing wholeness can become community wide so that no one is excluded.

    Wholeness radiates beauty and confidence and poise.

    Wholeness promises completeness in every way.

    Wholeness attracts others who have a healthy and uplifting view.

    I protect myself and inspire others as I practice wholeness.

  • I am willing to do the work I am given and to experience its rewards.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #52 I am willing to do the work I am given and to experience its rewards.

    I have been given new work to do.

    It has nothing to do with my training.

    It has to do with being inspired.

    It comes from being moved out of depression and anxiety and hopelessness and despair.

    It comes from finding a new footing in a Universe Which Loves Me.

    I have discovered I am loved and cherished and adored.

    This is an actual fact.

    Since it is true about me, it is true about you, because you also live in a Universe Which Loves You.

    You move into this Universe as you listen within and take the tiny steps.

    You experience more order and you release confusion.

    You no longer chase after someone else’s way of doing things.

    You have sure and certain direction from within.

    You live a life of substance and conviction.

    You are not distracted by the commotion and chaos around you.

    You become a center of calm and peace.

    It is noticeable to those who are searching for it.

    They hear you and see you.

    They feel the impulsion to join you.

    They feel the desire to put their feet on firmer ground.

    They are willing to learn to listen within and to take the tiny steps.

    They are willing to join together in cooperation to share this practice and message.

    This is my life’s work.

    Let us join together to share inspiration and peace.

    Let us create a life of well-being for all.
