March 02, 2014 Who Are We?
Pulling from [Wayne Muller's book _How Then, Shall We
Live?_](http://www.waynemuller.com/books_and_cds), we learn that our identity
does not come from what we achieve, how we fail, or what has happened to us.
Could we possibly be able to say to ourselves one day:
> I am the light of the world.
>
> I am a marvel.
>
> My story is not who I am.
Let's soften the story and lighten the load, so we can grow in a beautiful,
expansive way, to be the light of the world.

February 23, 2014 Always Do Our Best
We all want to expand in love and creativity. We all want to explore our
spiritual nature.
Our nature is that we are the Unconditioned Spirit trapped in conditions. Like
the sun in eclipse, our Wisdom-Self has Its roots in the unseen world. So our
Divine nature is to live in freedom, to be happy. But, often, we feel that we
are trapped in conditions.
Always doing our best is about action. As we bring new awareness to our
action, we can make new agreements with Fortune, prosperity, love. And in so
doing, we can transcend the weight of the conditions in our lives.

February 16, 2014 Don't Make Assumptions
We all have beliefs and assumptions about ourselves, our partners, our peers,
and our neighbours. But sometimes our assumptions aren't true, and yet we
believe that they are right. And when someone challenges us on a belief that
we think is right, we take it personally. And then we resort to using
poisonous words.
Assumptions are created in our past and projected into our future. But in
living this way, we are missing our opportunity to live in the present moment.
When we realize the higher truth about ourselves, an inner awareness will move
into our lives, and all of a sudden, life shows up differently. This process
begins with our willingness to step into our spiritual practice. Such practice
can bring us an intuitive awareness that we are not alone here, that we are
beings of light and love. And soon we will start to act from that place (and
pray from that place, not begging, but knowing who we are) and that we're here
to be that representation of love. Then we won't need to make assumptions
anymore. We won't need to take things personally. And we will be able to speak
our word clearly and with courage.
We need to ask questions---to question our beliefs. Our power to change, not
who we are, but how we are, is so much more powerful than we can imagine.

February 09, 2014 Don't Take Things Personally
Nothing others do is because of us. What others say and do is a projection of
their own reality (the dream they inhabit). When we are immune to the opinions
and actions of others, we won't be the victim of needless suffering. This is
emotional immunity. We develop this through understanding and being in high
relationship with ourselves. It is a process of individuation, of creating
boundaries.
Let us relax into the mystery of life. Once there, the path home lights up
from within.

February 02, 2014 The Power of Our Word
Today is Groundhog Day, a day about being stuck in a paradigm of beliefs,
causing us to have the same experience over and over. So how do we move out of
the trap of repetition into newness?
As Don Miguel Ruiz wrote in _The Four Agreements_, the first agreement is to
be impeccable with our word. Our word is so powerful. When our way of being is
lined up with our word, it becomes a potent and powerful experience.
We need a great deal of courage to challenge our beliefs. Even if we know we
didn't choose all of our beliefs, we know that we agreed to all of them. And
so we experience feelings of blame, guilt, and shame as we start to go against
"the rules".
We need to be accepted and loved by others, but we have to first accept and
love ourselves. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes
from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to
that ideal. If we want to find a life of joy and fulfillment, we must find the
courage to break these fear-based agreements that claim our personal power.

January 26, 2014 Start Again
This January, we are in "Starting Over" mode. We can all start where we are.
We can all start small.
So we ask, what is the one thing that we can do, to put into our
consciousness, that will make everything else different from this point
forward?
Spiritual practice provides clarity. And clarity helps us to make better
decisions, so we can choose in a different way. It provides attention to
completing tasks. With it, joy and uplift become more readily available. It
steadies and grounds us in the world. It allows us to see life on a macro
level. It gives us a quieter and deeper relationship with our inner life.
Spiritual practice assists us in staying grounded in the simplicity of now. It
creates personal intimacy. It connects us with our true Spirit, our Divine
Self.
