Committing to the Dream

The dream within me is more important than anything around me.

The dream within everyone I know, is more important than anything around them.

The dream within everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is more important than anything around them.

-------------

Cultivate the dream is cultivating love.

When we cultivate what we love, we bring more of it into our lives.

Our dream tells us who we are.

It is a direct line to our soul.

It is something we think about in the little spaces between all the surrounding stuff that occupies our lives.

But, f we give it our attention, our time, our respect, and keep loving it, living in its promise, its hope of satisfaction and fulfillment, it finally occupies our life and pushes everything else out.

The dream is our connection to the Universe.

Letting it express itself through you is your most important contribution to society and civilization and the most important respect you can pay to yourself.

Discovering Life Patterns

I love discovering life patterns in Nature.

Everyone I know loves discovering life patterns in Nature.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, loves discovering life patterns in Nature.

----------------

The first thing I do in Nature is to calm myself.

As I begin to relax,, I start to soak up the peace.

While I am soaking up the peace, I can observe simple things.

I notice different wildflowers appearing and fading.

I notice leaves falling and thinning out the forest growth.

I notice birds propelling themselves in dips and sways of elevation.

I watch a young raccoon slowing navigate its way across a morning meadow wet with dew.

The rhythm of my life changes in Nature.

I am more attuned with the sun’s cycles.

I cook in a solar oven, refocusing it as the sun moves across the sky.

My ow life and career are shifting and reshaping.

Without the distractions of busy city life, I can hear my own heart more clearly.

It was this soul-longing which brought me out here and provided the way to get here.

Nothing more, nothing less.

but a very powerful and deep longing.

And now, in its beautiful surroundings, my hearts expression finds peace and productivity.

Nature’s rhythms suit me.

They are my own.

Harmony With the Universe

Today, I am in harmony with the Universe.

Today, everyone I know is in harmony with the Universe.

Today, everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is in harmony with the Universe.

----------------

As I take my first deep breath, I feel deeply at peace in the harmony of the Universe.

I know that today’s activities will be directed and led by a higher sense of action and service.

I feel my connection to so many others who are seeking a higher and more unselfish way of living.

Each little contribution to this goal brings multiples of power to bring it about.

When we are connecting with the Infinite, even the idea of infinite goodness, it brings about a kind of harmony and peace where things just fit together smoothly.

All the little pieces reflect the higher goal.

I will watch with anticipation and receive what I now expect, a life of peace and harmony with the Universe.

The World's Path and My Path

I am listening for my own path.

Everyone I now is listening for their own path.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is listening for their own path.

------------

The world’s paths have taken us to where we are now.

I am listening for my unlimited path.

My unlimited path comes from within.

When i listen within, I feel the unlimited resources of my divine purpose.

I am learning to tap into my unlimited resources and to express my divine purpose.

All who can be benefitted by what I do naturally come to receive it.

WE have a spiritual connection.

Our path toward each other is unerring.

We are here to lift each other up without any visible means of support.

Since we are spiritual beings, our support comes from within.

We connect through our spiritual nature and lift each other up into a new kind of path.

My Inner Strength

I feel my inner strength within.

Everyone I know feels their inner strength within.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet feels their inner strength within.

---------

Despite the relentless imposition of superficial and even harmful practices on the part of the media, each of us has an inner strength to know our best course of action.

We know this for ourselves, and we know it for our communities.

It is good to pause and retreat inwardly to our calm place of reflection.

I take my three deep breaths and renew my focus on the guidance within.

When I feel the sense of peace and harmony that lets me know I have found the right step to take, I take it and move in the direction I feel so deeply.

Even in the face of the noise around me, I feel my inner strength, and I take the steps I am guided to take.

The more consistently I do this, the more sure and productive my work becomes.

I live in the calm reflection from my inner strength to and from work as well.

In fact, my whole life takes on the shape of much higher values and practices regardless of what is going on around me or at the highest levels of national governments.

I can find the right steps to take from my own inner vision, and I have the strength to do so.

My Inner Wisdom and Guidance

I feel my inner wisdom and guidance “within”.

Everyone I know feels their inner wisdom and guidance “within”.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the world feels their inner guidance and wisdom “within”.

-----------------

The feelings and intuitions we have are our inner guidance.

Sometimes we find ourselves drawing a conclusion and not knowing how we really got there.

That is our inner wisdom.

It is already there.

We have to learn how to listen for it.

Now that I know it is always there for me, I am using my time to calm down and listen for it.

Recently, as I was getting ready to put a pot of stew into my solar oven to start cooking, the glass top came out of one of its metal corner holders.

At first I was upset at the possible breakage, (there was none), and then I was frustrated about the glass coming out.

As soon as I got calm, I realized I need a Phillips head screwdriver, and my husband told me where one was.

The frustration tried to return as I began to fit the glass back into the metal holder.

I tried three times, and then realized the calm I was seeking would allow me to get it to fit right.

It did, and I was able to tighten the screws and to make sure of the fit.

Since I don’t work with tools very often, I was grateful for the guidance on this simple thing, even though my husband could have done it for me.

I am noticing that every challenge, along with everything that comes in to make my life good, is from the Universe Who Loves Me.

I can learn to do more calmly and successfully, when I listen to my inner wisdom and guidance.

My Inner Peace

I feel my inner peace “within”.

Everyone I know feels their inner peace “within”.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet feels their inner peace ‘within”.

-----------------

Even thought these statements seem redundant, I feel I need to share them in just that way.

No matter what is happening on the outside, and there is a lot of disturbing news, I can turn “within” and find my inner peace.

I am making my life a practice of peace.

I listen to what is around me, and then, instead of adding my dismay to it, I look for my peace “within”.

I will practice peace, I will take steps to uplift my thought, so that what people feel around me is peace.

I will circumvent irritation with peace in my heart.

I will do the little things that comfort and soothe.

Our collective peace will radiate around us all, and we will have no interest in anything that does not spread peace.

We are all precious.

Our leadership is from “within”.
