Before we can create change, we have to decide something needs to change. Before we can decide something needs to change, we have to accept it as it is. Before we can accept it as it is, we have to be aware of its existence. Awareness is the beginning of all creation.

H.W. Mann

We resonate with truth because it reminds us of who and what we are

We too often look to God to fix everything. God didn't create our problems. This is our doing. We have free will. And this is what we choose to do with it. We can accept responsibility for our thoughts as well as our actions. We can choose something different. We can choose love. And we can create a beautiful garden.

What we love will either take us to greatness or to ruin

What's going on out there is a projection of what's going on in here

Whatever we try to control ends up controlling us

When we are conscious, and in the flow, the universe has our back

When we are in human consciousness, we identify with the body – mind. We believe we are one and the same. We then project everything through that point of view. From the view point of the ego. But we are not the ego. The ego is a function of the brain. A phenomenon of the body. A view point that allows us to operate in the time – space continuum. But it is a limited view point. A view point that separates us from others and God. Human consciousness exclusive of spiritual consciousness is hell. Heaven or hell is up to us. We create from where we are consciously. Spiritual consciousness is the way.

When we focus on lack, lack is what we create

When we focus on what has happened. When we focus on what will happen. We overlook what is happening. We can only live in this moment. While regretting the past, we are depressed. While worrying about the future, we are anxious. While present, we are at peace. The present is a gift. Open it.

When we focus on what we can't do, we won’t do anything

When we go to the market for ice cream, we get into a car. We are not the car. The car is simply a vehicle for travel. When we spiritually awake, we realize we are an immortal spiritual being temporarily in human form. The human body is our vehicle to travel about. Although we are in a human body, we are not the human body any more than we are the car.

Wisdom is to learn and then to do better

You can be aware without being awake, but you cannot be awake without being aware
