  • What You Contribute

    “Stop playing it safe by trying to avoid adversity. Act from the heart and let circumstances unfold as they will.”

    ~Ezra Bayda~

    The incremental steps we take toward enlightenment transform our very way of being.  Life is a dance of light and dark, giving and receiving, as contrast brings out inherent beauty within every situation.

    Embrace what is with enthusiasm, passion or acceptance and take one more conscious step forward. Allow inner wisdom to guide your life. Relax, and recognize your value as an awakening master by honoring your gifts, ideas, perceptions and way of being in the world. Without you, the tapestry of existence would be missing the unique spark of the Divine that is your contribution to the whole.

    When we engage with one another with an attitude of willingness and receptivity, each one of us makes a unique contribution to the evolving dance of wholeness. Nobody is higher or lower, nobody is superior or inferior. Each of us is simply an expression of life… a perfect blend of Oneness. We purposely chose to be here Now to live, learn and share, to bring light and lift one another up. We could not have dreamed a better Universe.

  • Appreciation

    \"\"

    Your first thoughts and actions upon awakening dictate how the energy of the day will be experienced. When you consciously choose appreciation and gratitude, you open to receive the love that flows upon you from all dimensions.
    Longing is another form of suffering. Rooted in some undetermined future, it robs us of the ability to experience the vibrancy and potential of the present moment. The enlightened spirit takes full responsibility for their own state of consciousness. Seek to adjust your inner dialogue whenever necessary and observe how you choose to respond to the present moment. This simple movement of awareness is transformative.
    Human intimacy, and all the emotional aspects it contains, provides the richness of spiritual life. Many seek to rise above the mundane as an aspect of their spiritual journey; however, the repudiation of worldly interaction can sometimes become the ego’s way of grabbing hold through denial or judgment. Anyone can be zen while meditating on a mountaintop. The spiritual master brings that sense of peace into each and every relationship.

    Be willing to be vulnerable as you participate in the experiences of your life. Conscious choices are always available when you remember that every situation is an active, integral part of your awakening. The present moment brings what the present moment brings. Live it. Release the word “should” from your vocabulary, it indicates expectation rather than acceptance.

    “There is more than one road to spiritual salvation. We discover a philosophical way of living by encountering the world, culling knowledge from all available resources, and thinking reverently about life.”
    ~Kilroy J. Oldster~

    The goal is to bring higher consciousness into your day-to-day life experiences. As you grow in awareness, you may discover that life will often provide an opportunity to see the new concepts that you have learned in motion. When you express a desire to cultivate your ability to love unconditionally, invariably  someone difficult to love will enter your life. This isn’t an obstacle, it’s a response to the awakening of your soul. Know that you already have the tools you need to navigate your life situations.

    Practice allows you to strengthen your spiritual tools. The more you participate in life, the more empowered you become. Allow the give and take of energy to be your guide.

    They say when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. This is because everything and everyone is your teacher. The only change is that you now have the ability to recognize the gifts that surround you. The veil that clouded your perception dissipates allowing you to see more clearly.
