Grateful for all the steps

Renewal

Renewal of strength.

We can all keep our strength up by practicing what is important to us.

With repeated challenges, we must have repeated rebuttals.

Our strength will increase and we will overcome the challenges.

Renewal of trust in ourselves.

We have the ability to learn new things.

We can figure it out.

We can get help and guidance.

Renewal of attention to intuition.

Trust being alone.

That is where the purest guidance comes from.

It is not influenced by opinions, including our own.

Renewal of calm.

Slow down.

It is all happening in the  Universe’s timing.

Let everything be prepared.

Renewal of desire.

Trust the ideas which keep coming to you.

It is part of  your partnership wwith the Universe.

Take your tiny steps.

Renewal of completion.

Notice the idea which keeps coming to you the most.

Take all the tiny steps as far as you can.

Wait and listen inwardly some more.

Renewal of self-care.

Repeat all the above.

Nothing changes while everything changes.

Your deep identity, your connection with the Universe.

An ongoing, invincible connection.

Your deep center of calm.

The world whirls around you.

There are trends of slowly developing scientific data.

There are large patterns of geologic history.

There are rushing celebrity pushes.

There are large social, economic and political movements.

And in the center you stand.

You watch the swirling patterns of emotions.

You watch the seasons as one belief surges, then another.

And still you stand.

You turn to look at another continent.

You feel the pulse of a different collection of beliefs.

You watch the trends directed by climate and natural resources.

You note the social, economic and political practices.

You stand and slowly turn.

All around you are the many collections and interpretations of life.

You feel the elevated thought of spiritual leaders throughout all time.

Their slow persistant, uplifting  practices.

You see how they join across the miles and the centuries.

They have a longer, deeper pulse.

They echoe remotely.

They sound a persistent bass, under chaotic melodies and harmonies.

This long, tonal frequency with its deep vibrational quality never changes.

It is the song of Love, the Universe’s reason for Creation.

You, now that you have discovered it, are irrevocably drawn in.

You feel the Love, and now you, too, become part of that great rhythmic pulse.

A Practice of Confidence

Confidence is a practice.

My experience is to keep writing, to keep sharing.

Instead of looking at the details along the way, my most important asset is to keep moving.

As I create the next post and the next drawing, I am adding to a body of work.

My consistency shows up.

I am in a practice.

Faithfulness sets the stage for confidence.

As I practice, I feel the strength of my consistency.

I  grow stronger in the practice of my message.

I am present to the messages I receive from the Infinite Universe.

I honor the Presence of the Infinite Universe by my awareness.

I feel so blessed.

I understand my role as messenger.

And so I receive and write and share.

My willingness to do this has moved me out of previous life patterns.

I exist as a successful listener.

My confidence grows as I receive the messages.

I am uplifted by them.

I am encouraged by them.

I am impelled to share them.

We are all so precious.

It is wonderful to see all of us that way.

We all exist  in a form to honor the Universe Who Loves Us.

When we  listen and take action, our confidence grows.

It is natural to feel confident through our alignment with the Universe.

Repetition and Practice

Sometimes  I think the most important thing I have learned in this life is learning to practice.

I took a weekly music lesson from age 5 yo with my mother, followed by many other teachers, all the way through grad school.

My mother taught a no fail methodical way of practicing with lots of repetition for tiny steps.

It worked out all the details along the way.

I find that I have a new application for practice when I receive a message through inner listening.

In order to honor the Universe, I am impelled to take my tiny steps toward my goal.

I practice inner listening regularly, and consistently take my tiny steps.

It works out all the details along the way.

Nothing happens too soon or in a sloppy manner.

There is no rush, but I must respond when I receive Guidance.

It is part of my contract with the Universe Who Loves Me.

Then, I am able to reach the goal revealed during my inner listening time.

I have to ignore distractions or even fight them off.

I have one priority.

To honor the Universe.

It cares for me, guides me, nurtures me, comforts me.

It strengthens me, persistently demanding that I go up Higher.

It stays with me, never deserting me, patiently waiting for me to listen once again.

Even my “lows” are higher now, because I have established a higher baseline.

The Universe expands my horizon in the way most useful to It.

As I listen and take my tiny steps, my life expands in joyful and generous ways.

When I learned a new musical piece, I knew what is was supposed to sound like, but I had no idea what it would feel like to play it.

Through repetition and practice of high ideals, I am experiencing the same sensation of moving toward a goal but with unexpected enjoyment of living in it.

Loyalties

What beliefs are you loyal to?

At your core, you contain the purest part of you.

You may have collected some bad habits along the way.

When you recognize the contrast, you can begin to change them and redirect your loyalties.

When you are loyal to your highest sense of right, you create an uplifting standard of life.

You will certainly face challenges, but your core loyalty will always take you in the best direction.

You may have hidden loyalties, which are unconcious habits.

When you consciously choose your loyalties, you may experience a radical shift as you confront the beliefs you grew up with.

Your wider view of the world may expose some of the limiting beliefs around you when you grew up.

Your new personal experiences may challenge what always seemed to be a part of you.

As you operate in your current world, you may have to shift your behavior in order to be true to your new loyalties.

Your life-practices change as you interact in new ways.

Your pure core sees everything impartially.

When you are loyal to your highest view, you, too are impartial.

Your life experiences change and your interpretation of life’s events changes.

Your world view affects how you carry out your service.

You are loyal to the idea of well-being for all.

Your actions reflect earth stewardship, regardless of practices around you from your early life.

You view the earth’s resources in terms of good for all.

Loyalty to the highest good allows you to see others in uplifting ways.

You see everyone as precious, as worthy of the means to protect themselves and to prosper.

It guides you to consider the needs of the community as a whole.

You help activate the resources in your community in terms of good for all.
