The Feeling of Common Good

I am so grateful for the feeling of common good.

Everyone I now is so grateful for the feeling of common good.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful for the feeling of common good.

———————-
It is a good feeling to know that we have the power to create common good.

All the steps to legalize selfishness and self-centeredness do not take away form the simple principle of common good.

What’s good for all affects everyone.

There is room for good for all.

There are ways of achieving good for all which do not depend on actions and institutions which can be taken away by a small group.

We are starting to find these ways.

Instances where local grass roots action helps those in need are happening in more and more places.

Innovative and imaginative solutions are being found and implemented for underserved populations.

Networking among those who desire to serve and uplift are having a positive effect.

As this sense of good for all grows, it will trickle up through the ranks of people who have been empowered by the acts of others.

Good for all, the common good, is a unifying principle and it is gaining acceptance and power through the actions of more and more people.

Finding Your Deep Peace

I am grateful to find my deep peace.

Everyone I know is grateful to find their deep peace.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet, is grateful to find their deep peace.

—————-
To find your deep peace, take a moment to slow down.

Take a deep breath and do so again until your begin to find your calm.

Once you can maintain your calm, go deeper.

Listen deeper, and deeper.

As you find your focus shifting inwardly, you can begin to listen for a feeling.

Maintain your calm and listen even more deeply for the feeling of peace.

Once you can feel your deep peace, maintain your focus and go deeper.

At a certain point, your deep peace will hold you and embrace you and cushion you and comfort you.

In this deep security, you will find your deep peace.

And here is where you can listen and find the messages and guidance which are meant for you this day.

You can do this at any time during the day and hear the messages and guidance that you need for that moment.

Find your deep peace and listen, and be guided.

Grateful for Time to Build

I am grateful for time to build on my new peace and happiness

Everyone I know is grateful for time to build on their new peace and happiness.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful for time to build on their new peace and happiness.

—————-
Right now, my experience of peace and happiness is relatively small.

I have learned how to overcome long-term negativity in my life, but I have not been practicing it very long.

I have discovered that I need time to expand my practice.

I need to build a wider foundation with more experiences of peace and happiness.

I can continue doing what I have discovered that I love to do.

I can continue meeting with my supportive craft guilds and women’s groups.

I can continue enjoying living in the country.

I can continue building up my collection of beautiful things that I love to make.

But, it is not time to go out and sell.

Every time I try to lead or push or encourage myself in that direction, I get rebuffed.

I pushed it last year and lost out on a lot of booth fees.  Even the weather caused events to be cancelled.

So now, I am continuing to work and to prosper and to create and to enjoy.

This is my time for building those kinds of peaceful and happy experiences.

Release of Fear

I know that I can release my fears.

Everyone I know knows they can release their fears.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, knows they can release their fears.

——————-
Sometimes fears are triggered by things we do not even recognize.

How can there be a connection?

As I quit fighting the fear and just listen to what is happening as my body reenacts symptoms, I am guided to discover old memories.

Since the past things are no longer happening, I can reassure myself and find a way around the old feelings that have recurred.

I have proof because I am here now and the other people involved are not.

I can recognize the old symptom as a new kind of proof that I have gone beyond the past, because I am living in entirely new circumstances.

I can relax.

I deserve my new circumstances.

They are a manifestation of my own thinking and actions.

I love being here.

I love doing things that are important to me.

I can release my fears because they are no longer part of my life.

I enjoy my life and I am free.

The Marvel of Today

Though I do not know what they are, I know that today holds marvels for me.

Though everyone that I know does not know what they are, they know that today holds marvels for them.

Though everyone that I don’t know, all over the planet, does not know what they are, they know that today holds marvels for them.

———————-
When I wake up and feel the infinite space in the cosmos for me, I know that today is full of marvels for me.

I am grateful for the simple marvels, like hot tea, and the immense ones, like a sense of purpose and connection.

I am grateful for the marvel of being led to the right connections and being prevented from the ones that are not productive.

I am grateful for the marvel of the inspiration of beautiful materials and the ideas to make beautiful things with them.

I am grateful for the marvel of the right space to work in and the marvel of beautiful companionship in work, home and friends.

I am grateful for the marvel of completing little ideas and building on them to bigger ideas.

Each day is full of marvels for me and I am eager to see what today’s marvels are.

Unlimited Substance and Structure

I feel the unlimited substance and structure of my being.

Everyone I know feels the unlimited substance and structure of their being.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, feels the substance and structure of their unlimited being.

——————
With the feeling of unlimited substance and structure, we are free to imagine and create anything which will bless ourselves and others.

We draw our resources from the Unlimited Universe of ideas.

As we nurture these ideas, we begin to create them in our present reality.

We discover resources and other interested people.

We find the right location and materials.

As our concept grows, so does our production.

The right outlets show up at the appropriate times.

We are naturally connected in ways which uplift each other and increase the abundance of those around us.

We are encouraged by the support of like-minded people.

As our confidence expands, so does our joy in sharing.

We are truly blessed in having the ability to reach out through the idea of service to create a different reality for ourselves and others.

Deeper Conviction and Awareness

I am grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in my life.

Everyone I know is grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in their life.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful for deeper conviction and awareness in their lives.

——————-
The current political processes have alerted millions of us to our need for acting on our deep convictions.

We are in the process of seeing deeply held beliefs and practices eroded.

Since these are critical to the way we express ourselves and the ways in which we desire to live, we are taking action.

Central to the action is the way we are working together.

A huge body of thought is being exposed and is being turned over.

The power of this body of thought is considerable.

Suddenly, we see ourselves as critical to the life of our country.

It is an abrupt awakening as we were carefully lulled to sleep for decades.

But now the awakening is happening in large swaths and a significant challenge has been raised.

Acting on our deeper conviction with the awareness that we can take control and reshape our lives is exhilarating as well as necessary.
