Standing Up for Yourself

"What about the idea that other people are more important than yourself? That is a falsity. I know most religions teach you that you should put others before yourself. Depending on the situation, to some degree that might be true. For the most part, if you do not take good care of you, how are you going to take good care of anyone else? If you are not happy, how are you going to make wise decisions? How are you going to think clearly if you feel confused and kind of just overwhelmed? You can’t.

Leave behind the negativity and go to the fifth dimension and ask, for whatever you are endeavoring, that you do it with ease, with kindness, and for the benefit of yourself and for the benefit of others. You would be amazed at how things work out for you. You would be amazed at how standing up for yourself can change your life."

Joy & Wisdom

“You must understand: joyfulness is an integral part of everything that you do in the spirit world. Nothing in the spirit world, in terms of progress, is ever done without exceptional joy. In the spirit of you, your connectedness to one another and to God is ever joyous.

Joy is like revelation – it bursts forth upon you and engulfs you. It affects every aspect of your being. From your spirit, there comes the recognition of the at-one-ment with God. From your feeling-nature, there is the joyousness of feeling, not just knowing in the head, but feeling, with every part of you, the wonder, the love, all of the goodness that fills you, enwraps you, and with this comes wisdom.

Wisdom is the opening, one would say, of the spirit in its fullness. It is that which is known, not just known intellectually. The spirit of you has to be awakened.

You have been taught, and rightly so, that in your spirit you are already perfect; you know everything and so forth. But, the spirit is like a flower – it has its roots in God; it has its very life in God, and like a flower, it blooms.”

You Always Know...

“Unconsciously and abstractly, you always know the Will of God. When you align your will with the Will of God, it simply means that you have lifted your consciousness up. You can use whatever words you want; but the simplest ones would be, ‘Thy Will be done on Earth through me, in me, for me, as it is done in heaven.’ Heaven has no error. All you will find in heaven is truth, wisdom, love, gentleness, compassion, acceptance. When you say, ‘Thy Will be done on earth,’ you are invoking all of that, which is in heaven, into the physical livingness of your everyday life.”
