Nurturing Your Spirit
Do you ever wonder about the other "YOU ?"
The one that speaks to you quietly, the one
that helps you find inspiration. It is in your
spirit that the feeling of love and peace reign
supreme. It is where happiness is free to embrace you.
It is the voice that shouts the emptiness of your life,
despite all the trappings of luxury that you surround
yourself with. It is the loneliness that overwhelms
you , calling to you to wake up. There's more to
life than wallowing in your misery. It's your
spirit starved for attention and love.
Ever wonder who you truly share the heights of joy,
or the depths of pain and sorrow, when everyone else
is out of reach ? Reach out within yourself.
What gives you strength, courage and empowerment?
Why does negative self-talk feel magnified especially
in your solitude?
We all have a Spirit, if you would stop, listen and nurture it.
It will not lead you astray. Negative vibrations weigh you
down, because the spirit does not want to have anything to
do with your negative attitudes. It serves you no purpose.
It's almost trying to tell you, Hey, if you pursue this course,
you're on your own. Listen to me and I'll show you a
better way.
Do not confuse connecting with your spirit with denial.
To acknowledge your spirit steers you clear of the mental
chaos and confusion that magnifies the trials, obscures the
solutions, clouds your judgment and drags you deeper
in the mire. Denial is the result of being disconnected
with your spirit.
Problems, trials, disappointments are part of life. No matter
how dark the clouds are, through blizzard, storm and tsunami,
the sun always comes up, bright and warm.
Think about it, ask yourself, how can you nurture your spirit?
This is how I do it:
-Start and end my day with a prayer of gratitude.
-Meditate , stay grounded and live in the present.
-Today well-lived makes for a better tomorrow.
-Know that problems are but stepping stones to better times,
-Count my blessings, share what I can with others.
-Read inspiring books and quotations.
-Listen to soothing music,play the piano
-Appreciate nature's beauty
-Know that patience is a virtue,i.e., grin and bear it,
-Try to show compassion/ kindness, for everyone has their
own battles to fight.
-Let those I love know they are loved everyday.
-Let bygones be bygones
-Move on, for there's nothing I can do about what's past
but learn from it.
-Dream a bit.

Creating With Words
"In the sixth century of the sixth millennium, the gates of supernal [heavenly] wisdom will be opened, as will the wellsprings of earthly wisdom, preparing the world to be elevated in the seventh millennium."

Thinking Out Loud (Questions) Part one of a two part Series
(Channeled)Roy-when does the end of physical life come? Is it when the body finally breaks down, or when the soul decides to abandon it? What happens to the ego that has lived a life of non-fulfilment? When is it over for this soul? Does the feeling of non-fulfilment come from not being aware or not being in touch with the soul's purpose? If no life is wasted, why is it that some lives seem that way?If I can list the positive things in my life and still feel unfulfilled, have I wasted my life? Is it because those positive things where not in harmony with what the soul desired to experience? Is it possible to come to this world and not experience what a soul intended? Are these life forms dysfunctional? How can we live fifty to ninety years and do many wonderful things and not feel anything? Should an observer feel something even if his/her purpose was to simply watch?Why is it that people have accomplished many great things using their natural talents and gifts, to be left empty when it is finished? Is it because the lives of these people are focused in the now, in doing the creating? Once their life's projects are completed, have they lost their purpose? Have they found where life is? in the moment of creation? Is their fulfilment experienced only in the act of creation? Is this why some life's projects never get finished, because the focus is never on the finishing? When interest is lost these people move onto another creation, always in the process, but never finishing it. Does an unfinished life's project offer future involvement, another opportunity for them? Can satisfaction be found in an unfinished life's project?Is joy or fulfilment found in starting life's projects that others can finish? Is it the purpose of these souls to create motion so that others can be motivated to finish? To start life and then observe how it proceeds? Does the dissatisfaction come from no one finishing what he/she started? Do all of life's projects have to be finished or has the creator taken the life's project as far as it will go because of limitations a soul may have? Are the points at which life's projects are stopped, symbols or points along the way that say, I can't go any further, or are they saying, it's another turn here? Would this personality have a verity of diversified life's projects and interests?Is the whole exercise a way of looking for one's truth, for one's purpose, and when it is not found in the life's project is it abandoned? Is this personality doomed to a lifetime of looking? Are seekers ever satisfied, ever fulfilled? Is it because the soul forgets its purpose or because it got off at the wrong place or lifetime? Is it because it has changed its purpose and wants to return to the oneness, or is it simply lost? Are these souls here trying to make the best of a unintended situation?Roy E.
