Embrace the Disturbance
Shared Global Vision –
Embrace the Disturbance
There is evidence of great upheaval in the disturbances that are going on in the world.
Ths is a good sign.
The uplifting power of peace and good combats the downward tendencies of distraction through disturbances.
We always have a way forward when we see clearly what is going on.
Our embrace of peaceful and uplifting practices toward everyone combats the beliefs of limitation and favoritism.
Of course, the Universe loves and protects and uplifts all of us.
It does not have favorites.
The Universe sees all of us as whole and complete and fulfilled and satisfied and happy.
This is the view I strive for.
How can I possibly see this?
As I listen within to find my answers, I know that there are answers for each one of us.
I know that we are unified in our desire for well-being for everyone.
There is no exception to the Universe’s care for all of us.
We are all precious.
We all carry the gifts given to us by the Universe Who Loves Us.
As we recognize our common ground, we are each able to contribute our gift.
The disturbances we feel turn us to inner listening.
This is where we find our connection to the Divine and to each other.
Our communities are built on what we give to them.
We can give our attention and insight and generosity.
We can value each member and help them discover their gift.
We can resolve our disturbances through the insight to contribute to the upliftment of our community in the most effective ways.

Embrace the resistance
Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –
Embrace the Resistance
It is a challenge to establish a calm and orderly and harmonious household.
All the demands that are being made on us are often overwhelming.
As we steady our course, we are able to provide a steadying hand for others in our household.
Our growing conviction of calm results in practices which help steady our household.
Even if there is resistance, there is a gentle way forward.
We find the tiny steps that each one can take to begin the work of building a strong foundation.
The tiny steps become habitual as we nurture them over and over.
The tiny steps collect and accumulate into habits.
Everyone begins to pull their weight.
As they gain in competence, they gain in confidence.
The new foundation is taking hold.
A collective feeling of calm begins to pervade the household.
The calm spaces provide room for happiness.
Even the persistent confusion and distraction from the outside world finds resistance in the calm of an orderly household.
We gravitate to what comforts us.
Order and peace always prevail.
It is always worth it to return to the tiny steps we nurtured and to revisit them.
They are the power which resists confusion and establishes the order and peace and happiness we all crave.
Our routines and creativity give us the foundation and happiness that are possible.
It is always worth involving everyone in this practice.
Even the tiniest step towards order and harmony makes an impact.
It lodges deep inside in a place that is waiting for it within each individual.
It overrides the constant bombardment that resists peace and establishes the natural harmony of the household.

Embrace the confusion
Your Diamond Mind –
Embrace the Confusion
Confusion startles us, and this is the way it gets in to our life.
Once we realize that we have been startled into confusion, we are looking at it from the outside.
We start to regain our balance from the shock.
As we begin to regain our identify, we realize we already have a foundation.
We have a standard and ideals we live by.
Even if someone close to us is reeling from confusion, we have the resources to stand strong.
We are no longer challenged by confusion because we have a strong practice which identifies us.
Our ideals draw us back to our standard.
Our practice of our ideals is unshakeable.
We have an unchanging commitment to a life of strong character.
We know how to be devoted.
We know how to serve.
We know how to give.
We know the strength and power of these activities.
Our practice goes out into the world and dilutes the confusion.
We are able to think clearly and to take decisive action which keeps us and others safe.
We are no longer off balance and confused.
Our clarity is a beacon.
It draws to us those who need a steadying standard.
Because we are all part of the same Universe, we are able to see the results as our clear thinking spreads.
We move toward a common goal which uplifts all of us.
We are able to see our way confidently, step-by-step.

Embrace the upset
Pebbles of Peace –
Embrace the Upset
While I am feeling unbalanced by being upset, I cannot think.
My feeling of upset and imbalance leaves me shaken and ungrounded.
I know that I have a right to my peace of mind.
Operating from peace of mind, allows me to see what is important to me.
Is it more important to me to be shaken up by what just happened, or is it more important to find my way back to peace of mind?
I know how to ground myself.
I know what to do when I have been upset.
I know how to move myself back to peace.
I expand my view, just even a tiny bit.
I am not isolated, alone, abandoned, deserted.
I have contact with what is important to me.
I remember that my resources do not come from my immediate surroundings.
I can recreate my surroundings as I move myself back into peace of mind.
I take a deep breath.
Of course, I am connected to what is important to me.
I am loved, cherished, adored.
I have proved my knowledge of this over and over again.
I love me.
I love what I do.
I love my strengths and how they lead me to happiness.
This is where my happiness lies, in my strengths.
I have a strong character and it brings me happiness.
I appreciate my character.
I love who I am.
I am back in my own mind, now, and I am grounded, happy, and peaceful.

The Uncertainty Gap
Loved Cherished Adored –
The Uncertainty Gap
Many parts of me are operating in certainty.
But there is another part that is not.
A part of me has sheared nerves due to trauma.
I am always having to fill in the gap of uncertainty.
It shows up in little ways.
I never know when something will not make sense to me.
Something simple, something obvious.
It is tricky for me.
Troubling.
Today, I remembered the advice to an artist who had developed a nervous shake.
It affected his ability to draw.
A very wise doctor told him to “embrace the shake”.
It is a Ted Talk.
You can watch it.
It occurred to me that I could apply this to myself.
I can embrace the uncertainty.
I know that this will occur.
I will experience a moment of confusion.
As I am trying to figure it out and catch up, I can embrace the uncertainty.
I can refrain from moving into a panic attack.
I can move into a slower pace and take a look at things.
It is okay.
I will figure it out, maybe in a couple of days, weeks, months.
Not in time to get the joke.
Not in time to play along.
But I can give myself compassionate room while I figure it out.
I can embrace the uncertainty.

The Perfect Fit
Pebbles of Peace Pathway 2.48 –
The Perfect Fit
The perfect fit
is along your own path.
You will know
when you have arrived
because the path opens up
even more.
Before now,
you were always fighting,
always struggling.
Now, it becomes simply
satisfying work.
All day,
all night,
all the time.
Lovely,
satisfying work.
In ways that
were incomprehensible
before.
It may look different.
It may look the same.
But it will feel
completely wonderful.

The Deepest Peace
Pebbles of Peace –
The Deepest Peace
I feel the deepest peace when my ideas are flowing into action.
They are ready to be expressed and I am the one who expresses them.
I receive ideas, messages, and I express them, as the messenger.
They are always ideas which have an impact on those who are also seeking to express peace.
They crave inner peace, and they desire to see it enacted in the world around them.
This is the effect of the deepest peace, its ability to spread into all the niches of despair, fear and broken-heartedness.
There is always a moment, when we pause in our despair, and we take a breath.
We decide to go on living.
This is almost always unconscious.
We want to continue in something different from our despair or fear.
This expresses expectation that there is something better.
Even if we have no idea how to connect with it, something better exists.
In the moment of one breath, there is space for the deep peace to fill in the gap.
This is a tiny fragment of the message of something better.
The peace surrounds us from the moment of the first breath, that first pause.
We take in more and more peace with each breath.
We find our emotions stabilizing and we are able to think more clearly.
An idea comes and we move toward it.
Each day, when we take our breaths, we are taking in more expectation and this begins to manifest in appropriate tiny ways.
We take our breaths and we take our tiny steps.
We are graced with the flow towards something better.
We begin to trust as we take our tiny steps.
We see what they become.
We are assured of our direction as we move into something better.

Power in the world
Shared Global Vision –
Power in the world
Our world power depends on our spiritual power.
Do we know ourselves in terms of our spiritual identity?
Do we see ourselves as kind, insightful, compassionate, intuitive?
Our expression of these qualities shows our connection to the Infinite.
As we listen within and feel the presence of comfort and guidance, we find our power in the world.
It is to calm, inspire, reassure.
The more clarity we can add to a situation, the more it comforts.
As we find our way through the confusion and disturbances, we help others find their way, too.
Through our habitual inner listening, we have established a sure connection with our Higher Power.
We know that we will be led to do the best thing possible in the moment.
We will find our way.
We will have the resources we need.
We will be uplifted and reassured.
Our confidence that this will always happen, calms the atmosphere around us.
It gives clarity to confused and frightened thinking.
We have a sure guiding and protecting Power because we live in a Universe Which Loves Us.
We are not alone in this Universe.
We are surrounded by all who live in this Universe.
This is a Universe Which Provides for All.
The practice of inner listening, one-by-one, proves this to each individual.
Our practice and visible life-path catches the attention of those who want this kind of reassuring power.
It is an individual practice.
It is how you gain your power in the world.
