Best Quotes from 2002 Musings

18 November 2002

Since the writings have been so abundant since the beginning of the year, I thought it might

be interesting to take some time and select the best of the best quotes that have comethrough to date this year. The intent was to provide a very fine filter to bring forth the

true gems that have been expressed in 2002. ENJOY!

... making a difference in some way with our lives?

because life is such a precious gift and it needs to be the gift that keeps on giving, as the saying

goes.

Much of the richness of our experience, however, comes from our willingness to exploreseparation and limitation.

unconditional, since this is really the only way that the love from spirit can be expressed. This is

its only nature ... it will not be molded by any restriction or conditions.

what I need to do. When the time to do something has arrived, it will be clear exactly what I am

consciousness. They are sparks of spirit ... literally godstuff.

share of whom that we are with the world.


13/158

134 - Spirit by its very nature seeks to express and unfold whom that it is in whatever way it

can. We are the limiting factors in this expression, by the restrictions that we place on our

assign to it, and what we learn from it is all for us to decide.

flow into our lives and the lives of others are extremely important.

oneself to others, but of ones present performance against ones innate potential.

149 - By its very nature, the I AM experience is subjective. Awareness is subjective.

150 - Creativity in general is far more intuitive than logical.

that we make the unknown known and the unmanifest manifest.

our hopes might be dim. However, spirit does not accept such limitations.

seek.

158 - We live in an information age ... but there is so much information that it is hard to find thefew gems of wisdom amidst the mountains of garbage that are out there.

spark within us.

160 - One of the best ways to learn anything is by doing it.

161 - Remember that the difference between an idea and a belief is the willingness to act inaccord with. It is not a belief until you back it with actions in your life.

162 - This is what reality games are all about ... they are opportunities for becoming more aware

of the I AM that we are.

163 - A new age calls for a new mode of expression, and an accompanying new mode of being.

It asks that we come to know ourselves to a greater degree than we thought possible so that we

can more fully manifest whom that we truly are in flesh.

164 - Each of us has a part to play in the coming drama ... a part that we selected and auditioned

for, a part that is specifically suited to whom that we are, a part that allows us to share whom thatwe are and learn what we came to this existence to learn.

165 - In our lives, we have those things we owe to our government and society, and those things

we owe to spirit. We are not relieved from either. Obligations are part of life. They are

necessary for society to function.

166 - Abilities are the gifts that we give ourselves so that we can carry out our mission anddestiny.

167 - The creativity that we see expressed in the world is a mirror reflection of the creativity of

spirit.


16/158

168 - Whenever we fully engage our talents and abilities in service, we are being all that we can

be. This is all that can be asked of anyone.

169 - It is important that we do a self assessment on a regular basis. Only we know what we cando and when we are fully engaged.

170 - If we allow "free will" to operate ... and allow individuals to do what they are moved by

spirit to do, then everything that needs to happen will indeed occur and in a manner that is

elegant.

171 - At some point, we must realize that we are ONE consciousness expressed through ONE

people occupying ONE world, this blue-green jewel that we call Earth.

172 - The heart does not say that I am not going to pump blood to the foot ... it freely pumps

blood to all the parts of the body that need it. Similarly, the brain does not think for itself alone,

but for the whole self. Every system within the body supports the collective. However, as the

body of humankind on this planet, we have not established such relationships.

173 - Is it possible that there is a discontinuity in the play ... where one scene comes to a close,and a whole new scene begins, potentially with a whole new setting and set of characters?

on many levels. One key mission is know thyself. Another is to be whom that you are.

177 - In the very process of discovering whom that we are, we learn that to know whom that we

are, we must be whom that we are.


17/158

choice.

179 - There should be a labor tax ... a tithe of 10 percent equals four hours per week that should

be used in providing ones services in some way that benefits society.

180 - The change of an age is a radical discontinuity. Any plans that use the precedent of historyas a basis for future activity will be sorely lacking. A new age requires new thinking, new ways

of organizing, new ways of expressing, new responsibilities, and completely new services.

Further, it requires rethinking how we function as an individual and a collective.

181 - One shares by being whom that one is with others to the greatest degree possible. This

requires a high degree of trust, and a no holding back attitude. We place our trust in others ... but

more importantly, we place our trust in the highest expression of our authentic self, as spirit inflesh.

182 - We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. It has always been thus though itseems that we have related far more to our physical and animal nature than our true spiritual

nature.

183 - At no time in history have people had such free access to information and the ability to

interact with and interchange information with one another so quickly and on such a global

scale. Ideas can literally be shared within minutes with no filters, barriers, or censors.

184 - The idea that the WWW is a collective extension of our brains into silicon and light is

fascinating. I had not thought of it in this way before. But, this expression is me, or a part of

me. I revisit it often to keep it in mind so to speak.

185 - Service is the only thing that truly has value, especially those services we perform out oflove.

186 - As individual expressions of the ONE consciousness, we each see things through unique

eyes. The reality we experience is different. That doesn't make it right or wrong. That doesn't

make it better or worse. That simply makes it different, unique for each of us.


18/158

187 - What makes freedom work is an openness that allows individuals and groups to be and do

as they will so long as it hurts no one. At least this should be the key condition imposed.

188 - Words are the song that spirit sings through me, the thoughtforms that spirit weaves

through me. It is through words that what I AM can be expressed. In the beginning was theword. All forms are manifestations of the word ... thoughts congealed into physical form.

189 - Our belief systems are the key sieve through which we draw experience to us. If we want

to change our experience, that is the place to work, with our beliefs.

190 - Knowing thyself is where the spiral of evolution starts. This is what propels us to evergreater expression of spirit in flesh. And, that after all, is what the reality game is all about.

191 - There is a spiritual world embedded in the physical one, primarily in the symbol systems.It is right there, before our eyes. All we have to do is awaken to see it. Yet, it seems that this is

easier said than done. Awakening still seems to be a relative rare occurrence.

192 - At no time in history has the potential for the collective creativity of us all to be expressedand applied to the benefit of all been so great. The information age gives us freedom in ways

that we have never known before.

193 - What do I ask of the world ... nothing. Hmm, I didn't really expect that answer, and

definitely not that quickly. I ask a lot of myself, but the world I allow to be as it will.

194 - The bottom line is that the world will be as it is, a mirror reflection of the collective state ofconsciousness. It can be no more or no less. For, this is exactly how it is created, as the

manifestation of the collective consciousness, or more correctly unconsciousness in most cases.

195 - This is how we expand our concept of self, we incorporate more and more what is outside

of us into what is inside of us.

196 - No matter how aware we become, there is always a next step, always another degree ofrealization that we can reach.


19/158

197 - The expansion of consciousness within us and through us is a hallmark of this existence. It

is what we are here for, in a very real way, it is why we exist.

198 - The evolution of lifeforms happens according to natural laws ... both physical and spiritual.

199 - As humans, we employ reason and imagination to find and create tools that allow us to

extend what we are capable of doing. All of our electronic equipment, including computers andthere associated software are tools that extend out ability to do things.

200 - When you think about it, much of our lives center around the many types of information

that we consume, play, and interact with.

201 - Do what comes natural to you. Do what you are moved to do by the spirit within you. Theexpression of spirit in flesh is not difficult. In fact, it is the most easy and natural thing in theworld if we simply allow it to flow as it will.

202 - Not everyone is ready to be aware. This is OK. There is no set agenda or set of goals that

we all must follow or reach. We each tailor our existence to be the showcase for our uniqueabilities.

203 - Time represents the state of consciousness and the level of spiritual expression in theworld.

204 - The unknown offers a tremendous challenge to use all of whom that I AM to explore and

make more of the unknown known. After all, this is what explorers do, they boldly go where no

man or at least few men have gone before.

205 - It is through the sharing of ourselves in ways that benefit others, that we create a societyamong us.

206 - If we are to grow into greater collective creative expression we have to find ways to

interact with each other in cooperatively interdependent ways. This requires working together inways that facilitate greater expression of spirit than can occur from individuals acting alone.


20/158

207 - The greatest service seems to be service to spirit herself. This seems to be the service that

allows us to maximize the benefit of our endeavors to all concerned.

208 - How do we know that our illusion is not much the same as depicted in The Matrix? After

all, our senses are quite restricted. Our eyes see only a small part of the spectrum. Our ears hearonly a small part of the frequency spectrum. Actually, everything is vibration, is numbers.

209 - There are many paths to the ONE. Each of us must ultimately find the path that is right for

us, and follow it to where it leads.

210 - As words and pages at a web site, this expression only has the potential to change the waypeople think and express, and thus change the world. It is when the words are read, studied, and

applied in ones life that the true impact occurs.

211 - We are the players in the drama of life, in the drama of spirit expressing in flesh on this

planet at this time.

212 - The greatest collective good is not achieved when each individual acts selfishly for theirown benefit, but when the individuals consider the collective good as well in their decisions.

213 - One sure way of getting something is to create a vacuum for it in your life. As in thephysical world, natural law will do everything it can to fill it.

214 - If you don't feel worthy of receiving something, in all likelihood you won't pull it into your

life no matter what you do or try.

215 - We are all worthy of the unlimited abundance that spirit would bestow on us. However,

there is a catch, we must contribute and do our part to create the abundance.

216 - Everyone deserves to have their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs met in

exchange for applying themselves in service to society.

217 - Choices are made within an overall social fabric that we create collectively. Change this

fabric, and we free people to make entire new ranges of choices that simply did not exist before.

We will be amazed at the collective creative freedom that will be unleashed as we do this.


21/158

218 - As I loner, my choice has always been never to walk in anyone's shadow. I would be

whom that I AM, all by myself ... though I do walk on the shoulders of giants who have come

before, and in particular on the words that they were able to express.

219 - My direct experience is thatspirit is found within and reflected in the manifested world.The correct way to live ones life is from the inside out. Then again ... this may be appropriate for

introverts. I'm sure extroverts see things quite differently, but I have no firsthand experience of

this.

220 - We need spirituality to guide science into doing the things that are right for individuals,society, and the world. We need science to apply discipline to our pursuits into metaphysical

domains.

221 - The objective remains objective only for so long ... until we reach a point where our very

observation impacts what we are observing in unpredictable ways.

222 - The subjective can easily take us into never never land if we don't test the utility of whatwe are exploring and discovering.

223 - In every endeavor, we make great progress when we apply our best and brightest to the

task.

224 - We are the vehicles through which spirit does her works in the world. As such, we are

literally god incarnate ... or spirit incarnate if like me you find it difficult to relate to a concept ofgod.

225 - We each do what we can with what we are given and with the circumstances that we find

ourselves in. However, there is a wrinkle ... the circumstances we find ourselves in are there

precisely because we create them.

226 - Within us lie all the answers to any questions we might ask.

227 - Seek within and ye shall find all that ye need to know and more.


22/158

228 - It is the awakened ones that will lead the way in the times ahead to a whole new way of

being. They do this by demonstrating what any may do, if they apply suitable effort to knowing

themselves.

229 - Each of us have within us great gifts that are meant to be applied in service to others. Itmatters not what these talents are ... whatever they are they can be developed and used to serve.

230 - Service is the only thing that ultimately has value. This is what the expression of spirit is

all about. It serves by seeing where there is need and then finding a way to fill the need. It does

this everywhere at once. And it uses us as its instruments for filling the needs that it finds.

231 - Something from the movie Contact comes to mind. Something to the effect, that in all ofour journeys the only thing that we have found to combat the emptiness is one another.

APRIL

232 - Being all that we can be requires effort on our part. Yet, when we are in the groove anddoing it, it is the most natural thing in the world.

233 - It is amazing how fluidly our lives flow when we are doing what we are meant to do. It isas if all of nature conspires to help us achieve what must be done. Of course this would be the

case ... for it is spirit herself expressing through us that is resulting in the manifestation.

234 - What always matters is here and now, doing in the moment what can be done in themoment, and making each day count as much as we can.

235 - If we focus on taking care of the moments, one after another, the end will take care ofitself, and will be far better than we have ever dreamed or imagined.

236 - Make each and every day count to its fullest. We never know how many days we are

granted in this existence.

237 - Life is a very precious gift. The most important thing we can do in our life is to find a way

to be whom we truly are and give of ourselves and our abilities to the greatest degree that wecan.


23/158

238 - Life is meant to be an adventure, at least in some aspects of our lives. Life is also meant to

be a challenge, one that forces us to find ways to go beyond our concepts of ourselves.

239 - Our minds are capable of some incredible things, if we free them from the shackles that

bind them.

240 - We must learn to harness our minds or the power is wasted on endless diversions.

241 - Reason and intuition are dual sides of the same coin. To operate from one without the

other is to go through life with heavy blinders on.

242 - Without intuition, we have no compass and vehicle for creative expression. Without

reason, we have no follow through and means for evaluating the relative utility of things.

243 - Everything that happens is meant to happen; and happens by choice not by chance.

244 - We get what we focus upon. In many ways, we get what we believe that we will get ...what we expect that we will get ... what we believe that we deserve to get.

245 - Our responsibility is simple, to be whom that we are, and to express that as fully as we can.

246 - The whole issue of terrorism is one that throws a major wrench in the workings of

international relations. When a group of people choose not to play by "the rules", what recourse

does a country, society, or even the world have?

247 - The very nature of the Aquarian Age demands more acceptance of differences and allowingof people to be whom they are.

248 - Nothing happens to any of us without an inner agreement on our part to participate.

249 - There are no victims. At some level, we choose everything. This is extremely

empowering. However, we only benefit consciously if we truly believe it.


24/158

250 - If we want to live a rich and full life, we must tend to our belief garden and make sure the

beliefs therein are empowering ones that truly are of service in our lives and the lives of all those

whom we touch.

251 - We truly live in an information age. The challenge becomes how to filter the informationinto a manageable set that is directly relevant and important to our lives.

252 - Some of us are information generators. Others categorize and classify information to make

it more readily available. Still others analyze information to find the depths of its meaning.

253 - For life to have real meaning, it must make a statement or make a difference.

254 - Each of us have our unique gifts and talents, and a purpose that makes use of these in someway that serves.

255 - There is always something to learn from every experience. It is for us to choose to learn

our lessons in joy.

256 - The more aware we become, the more we are able to behave as the true spiritual beings

that we are.

257 - There are hard rules and soft rules. Hard rules apply to everyone incarnate and simplycannot be broken while we are in flesh. Soft rules, however, can be bent and even broken if

necessary.

258 - In a very real way, all of existence is played out as dreams in the mind of God.

259 - We spend our time in the dream world of daily reality. We spend our no time, in the realm

of sleep ... and the unconscious frontier of spirit.

260 - Spirit is all around us at all times. There is nothing private, or secret, or hidden. Sheknows our every thought and action. She moves us and inspires us ... or can do so, if we are

open to allowing her active presence in our lives.


25/158

261 - I cannot imagine living anything but a life of spirit, a life of service to consciousness and

ultimately to the society in which I live.

262 - Our souls know exactly what they are doing.

263 - We are here to express spirit in flesh to the degree that we can, but it has to be in flesh.

264 - Ideas are physical, they have their counterparts in brain cells and neural firings. Yet, if thatis all they do ... they are not having the world impact that they could.

265 - Ideas should ultimately excite us to action, to building the foundations necessary for the

greater expression of spirit both individual and collectively, and to moving us to more fully

express whom that we are.

266 - The greatest gift we can give to the world is to fully share whom that we are in whatevermanner we find appropriate for us.

267 - My hope is that the world will be a better place because I have lived. A noble hope, and

yes an audacious one. However, what is life if not a place to realize dreams. The bigger the

dream the better.

268 - It seems that no matter how big I make my concept of self, it is not sufficient to containwhat is able to be expressed next.

269 - What good is it to be free if you don't explore what could be? The status quo may be good

enough for the masses. But, it is not good enough for me. I know there is a better way to live, a

way imbued with spirit.

270 - Society is an entity, one that is just as real as any individual; one that is born, learns, grows,experiences, and creates.

271 - By being born into a society, and being entitled to the blessing that society offers ... we also

inherit a spiritual obligation to apply ourselves in service to that society in some manner that uses

our special abilities and talents.


26/158

272 - It helps if our beliefs are aligned with spiritual truth, but that is not a necessity for living ...

it is a necessity forright living in which westrive to fulfillthe purposes for which we came.

273 - Living is a process, a journey, not a destination. It is good to remember that and to find

ways tosmell the roses and enjoy the journey.

274 - Your life after all is your most important masterpiece. Yes, masterpiece ... you are creatingevery aspect of it.

275 - Take a hard look at how you expend the 24 hours per day and 168 hours per week that you

are allotted. No one gets any more or any less than anyone else when it comes to time.

276 - Your reality is shaped as much by what you choose not to do as by what you do.

277 - Information is that way. Sometimes it is correct, sometimes it is wrong, sometimes it issimply unknown as to whether it is correct or wrong.

278 - The unknown is the playground of beliefs. It is here that we engage our creative energies

in search of meaning and purpose, and in activities aligned with that purpose.

279 - We need to establish infrastructures that allow people to discover, develop, and be whom

that they truly are.

280 - By giving each individual what they need to be whom that they truly are, society as awhole reaches levels unimagined.

281 - The collective consciousness has found ways to leak through over the ages. There have

always been lightbearers among us who have awakened to whom that they are and found the

source within.

282 - Why should God do what is fully within our power to do for ourselves ... perhaps notindividually, but definitely collectively.


27/158

283 - There is one consciousness that animates us all. We all spring forth from that same source.

This consciousness learns as we learn, expresses as we express, experiences as we experience.

284 - In the end, what truly matters is who we have become and how we have shared this with

others in our world.

285 - We are all in some sense leading the lives we are meant to lead ... living under thecircumstances that we have called unto us via our beliefs, our choices, and our actions.

286 - Ideas have power, great power when we understand them and base our actions upon them.

287 - Each awakening unlocks a new door within me, allowing me to find another room or set of

rooms within the mansion that is my greater Self.

288 - Such is how life works best, we operate in the now, taking whatever step is mostappropriate at this instance ... then take one step after another, until we get to wherever we are

headed.

289 - It is an exciting time to be alive ... it truly is. The potential is simply awesome. The nature

of the vibrations that are expressing is extremely powerful. Manifestation is about to become

child's play, in ways that are Beyond Imagination.

290 - The greatest good comes when we consider the benefit to society along with the benefit to

us as individuals when we make our decisions and take action.

291 - It is the collective that provides the infrastructure in which we can experience the very

freedoms that we enjoy.

292 - Our service is what primes the prosperity pump. The more service, the more prosperity ...it is that simple.

293 - Cooperative interdependence is the optimum expression of spirit for the whole, as well as

for each individual.


28/158

294 - The measure of a person however is not meant to be in comparison to another. What is

important is how what we are measures up to what we could be. That is, how close we are to

living up to our full potential.

295 - In a world that is ONE, there can be no true separation and independence.Interdependence is a fact of life. In this, it doesn't matter what we believe. We are connected to

one another and to all life for that matter.

296 - Life is not meant to be taken too serious. It is a game that we are playing. And games are

meant to be enjoyed.

297 - No matter where we look, what we see is the expression of spirit in flesh.

298 - Spirit already knows how to remedy or make any situation flow more easily and readily.We have only to follow her lead and do what she moves us to do.

299 - It is interesting how life unfolds. It definitely reveals that there is a higher level plan in

motion operating behind the scenes. Yes, scenes ... this is a play after all, a very complex andconvoluted one, but a play nonetheless.

300 - One judges information by how it feels inside, and by utility. We use whatsoever we finduseful so long as it remains useful ... and we stay open to all sources that may come into our

lives.

301 - Our lives are meant to be challenging to us ... providing us with the opportunities to be thebest that we can be.

302 - Our beliefs need to be tested and challenged on occasion to allow us to determine whetherthey are truly useful to our lives.

303 - The freedom of belief is far more powerful than the freedom of speech.

304 - What you do is far more powerful than what you say.


29/158

305 - Thoughts count, beliefs count even more, but actions are where we truly make a difference.

306 - That is all that is asked of anyone and everyone ... simply to be the best that we can be,

whatever that might be.

307 - Each day provides its opportunities and its challenges. We can choose to accept them and

the gifts that they offer, or avoid them and thus put them off for another day.

308 - To create a masterpiece of our lives, we must work with the paints of beliefs. These are the

building blocks that result in everything that we see and experience.

309 - Ideas are powerful ... especially ideas that move us to act in a new way.

310 - Reality creation is a process that we are constantly engaged in ... not only as experiencers,

but as observers and creators.

311 - Be bold and decide, and then the forces of the universe will come to your aid.

312 - What must be done ultimately will be done. There is a destiny that is unfolding ... aspiritual destiny as well as our individual destinies.

313 - If we are not learning and growing, creating and expressing, and being of service to

one another and to the society in which we live ... we might as well not be alive at all.

314 - To live life without regrets, we need to make each moment of each day count, we need to

make sure that the world is a better place as a result of our presence and our life.

315 - Service is the key ingredient out of which abundance is manifest ... an abundance thatencompasses the whole world, an abundance that operates on physical, emotional, mental, and

spiritual levels.

316 - We are meant to be and express whom that we are, in our full glory. We are grand beings,

we truly are. We are gods in flesh, creating the very reality that we experience.


30/158

317 - Special abilities generally mean one is responsible to use those abilities effectively in

service to society in some way.

318 - It is amazing what we can do when we are committed to something.

319 - This is how we build a better world. We find those whom we are meant to work with, we

enter into mutually supportive relationships, and we collectively do what we are moved by spiritto do.

320 - Our world is far too complex for any form of centralized control to work. Responsibility is

distributed to the furthest reaches where decisions can be made effectively.

321 - We are ONE! One world, one race, one people, one entity, one civilization, oneconsciousness ... There must be a recognition, a realization of this simple yet great truth.

322 - The sooner we recognize that there is an intricate web in which we are all part and via

which we are all interconnected to others, the sooner we will be able to fix some of the dire

problems experienced by many on this planet.

323 - Every experience bears its gifts ... though it may be a challenge to find them.

324 - Every challenge has a gift for you in its hands. Great challenges bring great rewards.

325 - Everything has its place and its purpose in our lives. Everything is there for a reason.Everything contributes to whom that we are and what we can express in the world.

326 - We are meant to lead extraordinary lives. We truly are. Settling for any less than this is

selling not only ourselves short, but those whom our lives touch as well.

327 - The greatest good we can do is to fully express whom that we are, openly and

wholeheartedly. Yes, that is the key ... living with our whole heart.

328 - It seems that my own life is my laboratory. It is where I explore the very fabric ofconsciousness.


31/158

329 - We are powerful creators, albeit for the most part at other than conscious levels. However,

that doesn't change the facts ... we create our own reality, in many cases as much by what we

choose not to do as by what we do.

330 - It is interesting to watch the plan of consciousness unfold. Indeed, there is such a plan ...and it is manifesting at all levels from the individual to the whole world, and perhaps even to

multiple worlds that extend far into the galaxy and beyond.

331 - Consciousness exists everywhere. It composes and animates everything. It gives us life

and awareness.

332 - It takes commitment to make each moment count ... to make each hour 60 minutes worth

of distance run.

333 - To awaken and become aware we must find a way beyond the restrictions that bind us. We

can only be bound so long as we tolerate and accept the chains.

334 - Each of us has the potential to live a life of greatness in our own way, using the unique

gifts that we brought into this world. It is simply a matter of discovering whom that we are, andexpressing that authentically in our lives.

335 - The answers have always been within us to everything we could possibly want to know. It

is a matter of finding our intuition, learning to trust it, and taking action to follow where it leads

us and to do what it moves us to do.

336 - The key measure of a man is whether he leaves the world in a better state than that inwhich he found it.

337 - Respect is a very powerful tool, especially when based on integrity.

338 - Growth is a natural process. We take it one step at a time when we are ready.

339 - Life is a journey, we take it one step at a time. It seems that my journey is to venture into

the unknown realms. Here there are no paths, and no known destinations.


32/158

340 - Each moment lost vanishes forever. It is for us to make the best of the time we are allotted.

341 - We are indeed at the beginning of a new age ... with possibilities for manifestation of which

we have only dreamed. Now is the time to make those dreams real ... to establish thefoundations needed to bring them down to Earth.

342 - Each of us see things that others do not see, and sense things that others do not sense, and

know things that others do not know. It is for us to find a way to share our worlds with others inmanners that benefit each of us in the exchange.

343 - Self knowledge is extremely empowering. If we don't know whom that we are, how can

we express this in society to do the works that are ours to do?

344 - Thoughtforms are the first step toward material manifestation. Whatever we can dream,

whatever we can think of, we can create if we so choose. However, it is the ideas which mustcome forth first.

345 - The plan of consciousness is unfolding perfectly. There is nothing I nor anyone else can do

to slow it down or speed it up. Patience is called for, along with an optimistic anticipation. Trust

the process.

346 - Spirit animates all life. She has been doing so since the very beginning of all that ismanifest. She did not create it all. But it is through her and out of her that everything was

created.

347 - It is through relationships that I define and know whom that I AM through the eyes of

others.

348 - We have objective reality and subjective reality. Both are important ... neither is superior

to the other. Integrated beings operate with a balance of both ... though the mix in that balancemay vary greatly from one individual to another.

349 - Life is a process of discovering our fears, encountering them, and overcoming them with

love.


33/158

350 - Cooperative interdependence is the wave of the future. In such an environment, we are

responsible for one another ... as a matter of choice.

MAY

351 - At some level, the manifestation that is all life is perfect in each moment, at least, as

perfect as it can be in each moment.

352 - We create it all ... the good as well as the bad, and everything in between. It is time for us

to take responsibility for this and clean up our mess.

353 - Reality creation is a game that we play ... an engaging one, but a game nonetheless. As

such, it should be something that we have fun playing.

354 - It all comes down to what works we do. That is our ultimate contribution to society and to

our world.

355 - Consciousness is orchestrating how ideas are communicated across the social fabric so that

they can enthuse the appropriate minds to take action to manifest those ideas.

356 - History is not so much about events as it is about the march of ideas and their hold overmankind over the course of time.

357 - Reality creation is about manifesting ideas, about making thoughts real.

358 - The plan of spirit involves the manifestation of ideals over time. That is, the realization of

ideals in physical existence.

359 - Imagination is the key. We are ever in the process of becoming whatever we can truly

imagine ourselves to be.

360 - Each of us is a unique expression of consciousness. Each of us is experiencing life in amanner that has never occurred before, nor will ever occur again.


34/158

361 - There are other modalities of knowing that operate beyond the realms in which rationality

is effective.

362 - Beliefs are the playground in which we create the structures that attract and define what we

will experience. As such, they are the most powerful tools that we have in our arsenal forcreating the reality that we would prefer.

363 - We each must find what it takes for us to be all that we can be, in all of our true grandeur ...

for indeed we are grand beings by our very nature.

364 - There is something wonderful that happens when we allow the unknown to enter andexpress in our lives. It is such an easy step to take. It simply requires a bold initiative and a deep

faith in the nature of spirit and how she expresses in our lives.

365 - Ye shall know them by their works. In the end, when our physical lives have been

extinguished ... it is only in our works and in the memories of others that the impact of our lives

continue to exist.

366 - At some point, we realize that there is more to life than this, and more to us than we know

ourselves to be. At that point, the magic appears, and the unseen portions of consciousness get

enlisted to assist in a more active manner in our lives.

367 - Interesting ... inspiration contains the letters of the word spirit, almost in order. If we

double up on the "t", we have spirit nation.

368 - I know my individual nature is a suit of clothes that I wear. Behind the clothes is the ONE

consciousness that animates us all.

369 - Whatever we do to others including the animals, we ultimately do to ourselves. Chief

Seattle had a famous speech that spoke of this.

370 - Spiritual awareness and spiritual awakening are indeed worth everything that we put intothem ... everything that it costs to experience them.


35/158

371 - What the individual experiences, the whole experiences. Consciousness learns from each

and every experience, each and every breakthrough.

372 - We are all the arms, the fingers, the feet, the brain cells, and the mouth of consciousness.

373 - As individuals we are the creator, the created, and the witness to the process.

374 - We need to be careful. Beliefs are walls that we create around ourselves. They filter whatwe choose to see and experience.

375 - When used properly, beliefs can empower us to do great things, focusing our attention on

those things relevant to our mission ... and in the process freeing us to be whom that we can be.

However, they can also limit, enchain, and imprison us if we allow them to.

376 - It is helpful to keep a very open belief system ... one that allows for the miraculous, onethat facilitates the expression of spirit, one that keeps our potential unlimited.

377 - Remember, all limits are self-imposed. They are there only so long as we choose to accept

them.

378 - Everything is vibration. The reality that we experience is all a matter of how we interpret

the meaning of these vibrations.

379 - What can we expect to gain through this endeavor of self-analysis? The answer that comesto mind is the world. How interesting.

380 - Our awareness is the key that unlocks the door to our cells, freeing us to be all that we can

be.

381 - Awareness is an inside job. But, once it is achieved, it colors everything that we do on the

outside.


36/158

382 - Our level of awareness moves with us from existence to existence. It is our spiritual

inheritance. As with other inheritances, it may take awhile for it to come to us ... but come it

will, and with dividends and interest accrued.

383 - Inevitably, we find what we seek ... if we are sincere in our search.

384 - Time management has become a critical skill. Time has become one of the most, if not the

most important resources in our lives. Yet, from a different perspective, we have all the time in

the world. It is simply a matter of making the most of the time that we have.

385 - It is not enough that we apply ourselves and do our work to the best of our abilities. Thatis compensated for by the experiences we gain and the salary and benefits that we receive. The

spiritual job is a volunteer one. Typically, it offers no payment, though it may bring greater

abundance into our lives on several levels.

386 - Our belief systems are elaborate constructions of vibrations through which we establish

what kinds of things, information, and events we consider meaningful to us and worthy of ourtime and attention.

387 - In a very real way, all that we are is an elaborate thoughtform existing within a world that

is itself a thoughtform that we choose to experience as physical and governed by the physical

laws through which nature creatively expresses in the world.

388 - Passion is contagious. The flame that others see burning in us, is often sufficient to igniteor rekindle a flame in them.

389 - One question stirs my soul ... why am I here, what is it that I came to do? Note how this

is phrased. I didn't ask what am I here to learn, or what I am here to experience, or what am I

here to realize ... I asked what did I come to do.

390 - Everything that I need to know, to do what I need to do, is already within me.

391 - We need challenges to motivate us to ever greater expression of whom that we are.


37/158

392 - When we allow spirit to engage in our tasks and do her work through us, it is amazing how

much energy and even how much time we seem to have.

393 - There is nothing that can stop an idea whose time has come. I don't know who said that,

but it is a very deep truth. In the game of reality creation, we are operating in precisely this area,in the area of realizing those ideas whose time has come.

394 - The whole topic of thegame of reality creation is indeed an interesting one. We are active

participants in this game whether we know it yet or not.

395 - We are not taught that we choose it all, everything that we experience ... and therefore, thatwe are responsible for it all. We are not taught whom that we are, and what abilities we possess.

We are not taught why we are here, for what purpose we have come. We are not taught what

obligations we have to ourselves, our society, our world, and to spirit herself.

396 - Who we are is not measured by what we have ... it is measured by what we can do.

397 - Ultimately, whom that we are ... and when we depart, whom that we were ... is measuredby the works that we have left behind, including whatever impacts we have had on others.

398 - It is through our works that we impact not only our personal reality but that of the world.

399 - Indeed ... it is my works that distinguish me, and in a very real way define me. Hmm, that

is an interesting way of putting it.

400 - We find out whom that we are and what we are capable of by doing and observing whatwe do. Both are important. However, it is the later process of observing that leads to awareness.

401 - Since our time is such a critical resource, we must constantly make decisions on where tobest apply it for not only our benefit, but for the collective benefit of all those whom our life

touches.

402 - Whenever I start to question whether something is possible ... the means to make it happen

seems to arrive as if it were agift from heaven. It happens so often that I have come to expect it

as the very way that the world works.


38/158

403 - There are some things within our control and others that are outside of our control.

Wisdom lies in knowing the difference so that we can focus our forces, energy, and resources on

those things that we have the power to impact and change.

404 - As adults, it is up to us to explore, revalidate, and assess what we believe. The chiefcriteria by which beliefs should be judged is utility. Do the beliefs serve us, and serve the

society in which we live. If so, great. If not, find others that do provide such service and adopt

them.

405 - What matters is finding a way to be of service. What matters is being all that we can be.We do this by wholeheartedly applying ourselves to everything that we face in life. When we do

this, life becomes magical ... the very forces of the universe come to do our bidding.

406 - Life is meant to be our greatest masterpiece ... yet few seem to realize they are artists,

creating the very reality they experience. Even fewer do this in a manner that is masterful. To bea master, we must believe ourselves to be, and then act as if it is so.

407 - Here, on these pages, my consciousness is as an open book, revealing new facets at each

turn. Yes, we are all as precious stones on the inside. It is up to us to find the stone that we are,

clean it, polish it, and even cut it into shape ... and then share the brilliance of our light with theworld.

408 - Yes, that is what life is all about. The ultimate meaning comes from sharing whom that we

are ... from giving of whom that we are to the greater whole of which we are part.

409 - At some level, we know what is going on ... nothing can be hidden. On other levels, it is

not clear that we even want to know.

410 - Asking questions is another powerful tool in the spiritual warriors arsenal.

411 - Everything is spirit ... and spirit is ONE. So everything experienced is OK somehow andagreed to by the parts involved ... actually, more than agreed to, co-created.

412 - We are spirit living life in the physical form. When we cease to be this form, we will still

be spirit, and we will take on whatever form is appropriate.


39/158

413 - There is a basic law of reality creation. We get what we focus upon. The more the focus,

the more force with which the necessary reality is manifest to conform with the beliefs.

414 - In a very real way, we see what we wish to see; we hear what we wish to hear; we feelwhat we wish to feel; we experience what we wish to experience; and more importantly, weknow what we wish to know.

415 - We are all unique expressions of source, the one consciousness that animates us all.

416 - Our minds are capable of much greater tasks than we have given them to date. Further, our

collective mind is capable of creating a world infrastructure and associated collective reality far

greater than any of us have ever dreamed.

417 - Knowing is beyond both mind and heart ... it exists in another realm entirely, though this

realm strongly impacts the reality we experience in every other dimension.

418 - I speak in a tongue that is not mine, allowing words to come forth that I know not from

whence nor where they come. My standard answer is that they come from source. But what is

this thing that I callsource?

419 - What matters is not the destination ... it is the path, and the enjoyment thereof. The journeyis everything. It is all that counts.

420 - There will always be an unknown realm of possibility that exceeds anything that I have

done to date. It is at the edge of this unknown where I do the dance of consciousness ... where I

exchange energy between the seen and the unseen, between the known and the unknown. It is inthis dance that I engage the energies of my life.

421 - It is not enough to think something strongly. We must follow up and take action consistentwith what we say that we believe. Otherwise, they are just mere words, mere ideas. We must be

consistent with whom and what we say that we are. Then, the very forces of the universe, join into do our bidding.

422 - Desire and discipline seem to be crucial to making changes ... along with an openness as to

what is possible and a willingness to try new things.


40/158

423 - Remember, that what ispossible is often far more than we have dreamed or imagined.

424 - There is something to be gained, something to be learned, from every experience.

425 - Life collectively seeks to express ever more and more of whom that it is. It does this

through every avenue that it has available ... through every resource it is given.

426 - I accept full responsibility for everything that I experience ... no fine print, no exceptions.

427 - An attitude of gratitude is extremely important. How can we expect to draw more into ourlife if we do not appreciate all that we have been given already?

428 - New perspectives are generally helpful, they shed new light on the matter at hand.

429 - I am the eyes of spirit, the arms of spirit, the ears of spirit, the mouth of spirit ... all

that I AM is of spirit, and all that I DO is for spirit.

430 - From within the illusion, we may not be able to tell what is correct versus what we have

only imagined or believed to be so.

431 - There is a source within that knows. This source can serve as a compass to help keep usheaded in the right direction.

432 - Within reality, there are hard rules which are absolute, and soft rules which can be broken

given appropriate training and the proper circumstances. Many people are not aware of the soft

rules. They falsely assume everything is absolute. To get beyond the soft rules, we must get

beyond the limits that we have accepted in our minds.

433 - Our mental structures can be very rigid indeed. This is not their nature, however. It is

simply how we have chosen to employ them. We can just as easily choose structures that are

more open and free. When we do this, however, we sacrifice predictability. For many, this is notan acceptable trade ... the unknown can be scary.


41/158

434 - Each of us has our own way of approaching life ... of being whom that we are. This comes

out as the things that are natural for us and as the approach toward understanding ourself and our

reality that is right for us.

435 - Old habits can be hard to break. Yet, break them we must, if we are to proceed to the nextphase, the next adventure.

436 - Yes, life is meant to be an adventure, and a bold and daring one at that. All that it takes is

courage and faith. A faith in the nature of the world, the nature of reality, the process of reality

creation, and most of all in ourself and spirit as she expresses through us.

437 - Consciousness ever seeks to actualize more of itself ... to make actual, to make real, to

make manifest in the world more of whom that it is through us. This is the only means available

to her. For something to be real, it has to be expressed through us.

438 - Life is already a highly cooperative endeavor, more so than any have ever imagined. It is

just that this cooperation primarily occurs behind the scenes, where it often goes unnoticed.

439 - There is an overall plan for the unfoldment of consciousness in this grand play that we call

life.

440 - Earth, and the world that we know is but one playground in which spirit can express and

explore whom that it is. And what a splendid and wonderful playground it is.

441 - At some point it seems that we tire of play and need some task in which to engage whomthat we are in a challenging, meaningful, and fulfilling manner. Yes, it seems that we need work.. or at least some way to expend our energies and talents in a manner that makes a difference.

442 - I am comfortable facing the unknown, knowing that I live in a world that is driven by

spirit, that is spiritual expression made manifest to the degree that it can be given the collectiveand individual awareness of the world at this time.

443 - Another day ... as always, they come one after the next, until we free ourself from time and

return no longer. Yes, this existence in space and time will someday end ... and we will return to

the source from whence we came.


42/158

444 - Each day is a precious gift. To the degree we can, we need to be grateful for this gift and in

turn give of ourselves in a way that makes a difference.

445 - Ours are not meant to be ordinary lives. Every one of us has greatness looking to shine

forth from within us. We are all special beings, unique expressions of the one consciousness.

446 - We have an obligation to be whom that we are as fully as we can, and to share whom weare with the world.

447 - We accept limitations because they serve us in some manner ... or at least because we

believe that they do. To remove them, we need to understand them for what they are, and replacethem with something that is less restrictive and more empowering.

448 - All life is the result of spirit expressing in flesh. Further, this expression is perfect ...unfolding in accord with spiritual laws and with an overall plan for ever increasing individual

and collective awareness and creative expression.

449 - We tend to create exactly what we believe that we deserve.

450 - It is up to us to manifest the abundance we desire. We do this by priming the pump ... by

giving of ourselves in service. The more the service, the more the abundance. It is as simple asthat, and as complicated as that.

451 - That is what we are here to do ... to live in a manner that makes a difference.

452 - The reality that we experience often conforms to our expectations. We see what we expect

to see. We hear what we expect to hear. We do what we expect to do. That is how it is, but not

how it needs to be. We are free to change our expectations at any time.

453 - One never knows when something meaningful will enter our lives. Often this happens

when we are in the midst of doing something else.

454 - Spiritual expression in flesh is what life is all about. At least, this is true for me, and my

sense is that it is true universally ... even if many are not consciously aware of this fact.


43/158

455 - The relentless march of time, moving ever forward, and as it does opening up new

possibilities for expression and new vistas from which to see the world in whole new ways.

456 - We need to reassert our freedom and remove the chains of those elements of our lives and

our world that shackle us.

457 - We are not meant to be beasts of burden. There are other animals that fill that rolewillingly and even gratefully.

458 - When we believe that we can do whatever we put our minds to, we open up a wide berth in

which to express and to do our works.

459 - In the end, utility is the only factor by which beliefs should be judged. Do they serve usand the society of which we are part, or do they not? If not, it is time to replace them withsomething far more useful to us and to others.

460 - If we find ourselves in need, the place to start is not by finding how we can fill the need ...

rather, it is by determining what it is that we can give that is of most utility and value to others,then by providing this as a service voluntarily. The universe will ensure that we reap what we

sow. You cannot give without return.

461 - Spirits abundance is unlimited. Ours can be as well ... for what are we but spirit

experiencing life in flesh.

462 - The body is an elaborate vehicle for the brain, its primary occupant ... which in turn is avessel for the mind to interface with, and to create and experience the game that we call reality.

463 - Words are the clay through which I sculpt the creations that can be expressed through me.

464 - I trust the very process of life as it unfolds through me. Everything is planned, everything

is necessary, everything is unfolding perfectly ... regardless of any appearances to the contrary. It

is a matter of finding a viewpoint or set of viewpoints from which this is true.


44/158

465 - In reading and studying this expression, you gain insight into whom that I AM. However,

this does not allow you to know whom that I AM. You only know me as the one through whom

such works as these can come.

466 - If we are ever going to learn what makes us tick as individuals, we need detailed records ofwhat consciousness does. This is one such record.

467 - I am a guinea pig of sorts ... with a blend of DNA, hereditary, and environmental traits and

conditions ... that has become aware enough to express via works of consciousness.

468 - There are many things that I do in my day to day life that are instantly forgotten, that willnever have much of an impact on anything or anyone. However, this expression provides a

snapshot of consciousness in action.

469 - The only thing it is fair to measure anyone against is what they are versus what theycould be. How much of their innate potential is realized and is being actively used and

expressed?

470 - We do far too little collectively to teach people the nature of whom that they are and their

part in the creation of the reality they experience.

471 - Acceptance is the first step towards making any change. When we fight or resist

something, it stays in our life, by the very act of our engaging with it. When we accept what is

for what it is, we are free to move on to whatever we would become.

472 - This expression provides sight or visibility into what is within. The very fact that it even

exists as it does opens up many questions regarding what we as individuals are capable of ...

especially as instruments of spirit.

473 - I operate out of faith, with a deep trust in the sanctity of life as it expresses through me. Ineed nothing else. There is no authority that I bow to ... other than spirit herself.

474 - The giants of the world are such because they stand high on the shoulders of others.

Whether it is on the wings of their thoughts, or their experiences, or their examples matters not.


45/158

475 - We can only go so far and do so much on our own. Through others, we can get a running

start to whatever path we choose as our own.

476 - My sense is that we have only played with reality creation to date. It is time to get serious

and do this in earnest. The works that we can do collectively and individually will bemiraculous.

477 - Life to me is a highly subjective experience. We cannot stand back and look at it

objectively. To explore the domains of consciousness, one must be an active participant.

478 - What we experience is a direct reflection of what we are, and what we are is in turnchanged by the very act of our experience. No matter how hard we try, we cannot escape this

fact.

479 - To me, home is not a place ... it is a state of consciousness.

480 - Not everything is meant for everyone. Use whatever resonates with you. Let utility be

your guide

481 - Walk awhile in my footsteps or mindsteps and observe how it feels to you. Don't accept

things a true based on my say so. But, be willing to believe long enough and strongly enough tosee whether something works for you.

482 - I am committed to be of service to whomever spirit cares to serve through me. As the

instrument, I know not how I am being played, or to what audience. Interesting analogy. Butthat is indeed how I feel. I am the aware instrument through which spirit expresses.

483 - The primary tool we have for experiencing awareness is our mind.

484 - There is something about being on the edge between the manifest and the unmanifest that

is addictive. Once one finds ones rightful place, it becomes home ... it becomes the center from

which we explore and express whom that we are.

485 - I am being what I was created to be as accurately as I can given my level of awareness.


46/158

me. I never think of he who expresses through me.

488 - Everything is the expression of this one consciousness ... everything, no exceptions.

489 - Evil and darkness is simply a lack of light due to walls or barriers that have been set up to

block the light. One overcomes darkness by shining light upon it. When one does so, darkness

simply vanishes.

490 - My life is not meant to be like that of others. I am a wayshower. I see things as no oneelse has seen them, and express things as no one else has expressed them. This is not unique tome ... each of us is a wayshower in our own way, or could be if we chose to be so.

491 - I have found it useful to give my mind a wide berth, and to be open to allowing

consciousness to express as she will. This has yielded a richness to my inner experience thatfascinates me even more than ever before.

492 - There is a difference between knowing something and having an awareness of something.When we are aware of a part of ourself, we experience being that part. Knowing can be a

secondary phenomena, a mental understanding of something. As such, it is less than awareness.

493 - We have to go beyond mindto experience awareness. This is not so easy to do. In fact, itseems that many do not experience this in their entire life and perhaps many lifetimes.

494 - This expression is my choice ... it is an investment that I make of my self to somethinggreater than I am.

495 - Limitation always involves darkness and shadow. We remove it by shining whatever light

we can upon it. However, we must learn to recognize the shackles that bind us, before we cantake the actions necessary to remove them.


47/158

496 - We are incredibly powerful. We are creators, responsible for all that we experience. This

includes not only the day to day experiences of life ... but all of the excursions into the realms of
