Captured Moments

When fear eats a way at us, pulling us deeper into a vortex of human need, we lose our inner way and instead look outwardly, holding onto anything that looks like it will hold us upright. We want to think we have found it in this and that, when in fact, that may not be the case at all.  What we want to think about other people, what we want to think about ourselves and what we want to think about the bigger world can be a far cry from the Truth. When we are first programmed by our parents, we will strive to copy and emulate what they have showed us.  We will align our loyalties with where they put theirs.  We will copy what they think or thought or told us to think until life shows us we can no longer go down that road. It is quite the rude awakening to realize it or to wake up to our own realities, far from what were their realities.  Remaining grateful for all they taught us, mirrored to us, guided us to see for ourselves or even showed us what not to do, hel...

For the world to change, our hearts must be louder than our minds.  Deep in our hearts lies the truth.  The truth that LOVE is the most important FORCE in the world.  We are all gifted with love, even when we doubt it the most.  LOVE is the HIGHEST FORCE because that is what brought the world into being/BEING. LOVE is found everywhere.  Watch a young child play, a flower grow, the sunlight sparkle on the water, see young people falling in love, and observe an older couple holding hands in a state of knowing the durability of their love.  Those are demonstrations of love and LOVE throughout the Cosmic realm exists, too.  Our HEART'S INTELLIGENCE reflects the HIGHEST LOVE there is in the Highest Reality. Before life existed, the power of LOVE brought the world and all living creatures into existence.  Abundance exists, too, in the cycle of life and love.  LOVE and GRATITUDE lift up our HEARTS and we fill with a greater sense of purpose, des...

When we know in our core that we are not separate from the Great Cosmic Soul that is existence Itself, then that level and layer of FAITH is all we need to offset any fears that have been lodged into our human systems.  The world around us can be cruel and full of confusion, as we grow and develop our ideas about our selves.  To cope, handle it and survive our lives, we might end up developing ideas about ourselves that are false, misinformed, negative or self-depreciating, filling us with self-doubt and fear to be ourselves.  That self-doubt can become our shadow self, or our sabotaging self, that cuts us down internally at every turn.  This pattern of thought can literally work against us then and we never get ahead.  It means we have internalized any and all negative ideas about ourselves from others, unintentionally. Instead, when we look within ourselves for answers, through prayer, contemplation, meditation or spiritual study, for example, we begin to f...
