God is the only power in my life.
Nothing from without can touch
The perfect life of God Within Me.
I am a Perfect Child of God.
And nothing that anyone has ever done or said
Can interfere with my Divine Inheritance.
The power of God is greater
Than any circumstance in my life.
The strength of God is mine to use.
Turning away from all feelings of inadequacy
I discover that all that I Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05225864454228621080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668226865164662940.post-18357690876058028422010-12-16T08:05:00.000-08:002010-12-16T08:05:04.118-08:00Our Need for Love by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring us the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else. The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence. It results from the profound interdependence we all share with one another. However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone he or she will not survive. However vigorous and Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05225864454228621080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668226865164662940.post-78803699857147588812010-09-13T12:00:00.000-07:002010-09-13T12:09:43.235-07:00Love: The One Creative Force
Well, I’m in LOVE with LOVE so I have decided to feature an article that was written by a man whose words changed my life. In his book, Spiritual Economics, Eric Butterworth introduced me to the concept of pure potentiality and his thoughts changed my perception of everything and raised my conscious awareness.

Be happy!
You will grow into God’s greatest blessing, His highest pride.
Be happy!
Yesterday’s world wants you to enjoy its surrendering breath. Today’s world wants you to enjoy its surrendered breath. Tomorrow’s world wants you to enjoy its fulfilling breath.
Be happy!
Be happy in the morning with what you have.
Be happy in the evening with what you are.
Be happy!
Do not complain.Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05225864454228621080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668226865164662940.post-55246287698415460092010-07-20T08:07:00.000-07:002010-07-23T07:56:25.902-07:00The Rest of Your Life

It is you who must identify and embrace and Love yourself if you desire Love. No one can truly share Love with you if you do not Love yourself. To begin and learn how to Love the search for spiritual truth and self-realization begins with who and what you are. All truth and Love is found within you.

I AM there.
You cannot see Me, yet I AM the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I AM the power at work in your hands.
I AM at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I AM at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I AM not strange visions. I AM not mysteries.

May the lamp of Love
which eternally burns above
kindle divine fire in our hearts,
and fan that innate spark of divinity into flame-
illumining all, opening our eyes
and consuming our differences,
driving the shadows from our faces.
As Love dawns on the horizon,
may our community awaken
in the kingdom of true communion,
which is at hand always.

Our show this week was about fear. Fear is only a state of mind and this story as well as the "Elevated Eleven" tips are designed to assist you in reaching "Fearlessness" in your life. To help with understanding exactly what Fear really is, here is a short parable about the "Ghost of Fear."

It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.

The point of examining “our reality” is to suggest that it is necessary to have an understanding and to accept the responsibility for creating our “reality” or life experiences. In order to have a clear path and to see where we are going we must be able and take the time to examine exactly where we are in our thought practices.
