Initiation is to the higher levels of Light. The more you chant your initiatory tone, the more you are affected on the inside of you. Some of the changes will be so subtle that you might not even notice them at first. Then you might find that you are being of service more and more or that your attitude has changed.

You've heard the expression, "Every knock is a boost." It refers to this attitude of using everything to your advantage. You can use every piece of information that comes to you, to lift you up and make you stronger, better, and more effective.

The Light is wonderful, but it doesn't come close to the Sound Current in exaltation. And when you get up higher, this becomes your manna from heaven. It's where you say you live by the word of God.

If we closed down the "hurt" input channel, we would not know when other people hurt. If you don't know that, you can't be caring, loving, sharing and supporting to assist them.

We demonstrate the loving by the choices we make and where we place our focus.

The spiritual person does not necessarily feel the negativity of this planet to any great extent, but maintains a consciousness open to the flow of the Light. As you open and let the spiritual love flow and direct your Light out into the world, you become an instrument of the Light, and you lift to an even greater expression of your spirituality.

My conviction is that we, as humans and Souls, are far greater than any book ever written for we are, indeed, the very likeness and image of perfection. That part which is eternal is the part I work with, speak to, and toward which I direct my teachings. And that is the Soul.

As long as you maintain alignment with Spirit and bring your emotions and thoughts into harmony with spiritual flow, you can bypass a lot of the turmoil of the world.

What I must do inside myself is make sure that my relationship with you is up to date, present, and not based upon something that was happening last week or last month or last night or this morning, but is that which is present right now, here in my heart with you, so that I am here with you now.

When you feel as though you can't handle something on your own, ask for help. No one said that you have to do everything by yourself; we are moving into a time when teamwork is becoming more and more important. You take care of yourself so you can help take care of others, so you can participate in your life with those around you.

Maybe you envision a loved one being vibrant and healthy. Perhaps you imagine someone you miss being right there with you. Maybe you realize you're alone and yet you're embraced, appreciated, and loved fully and completely. In fact, you remember you're adored by God. So choose the Light that is from the highest source. Choose God which is eternal, unconditional love.

Explain to your kids that tests at school do not record their failure. Tests show areas where they can learn and grow, and point up their strengths. They are a reference point to know how they are doing, and to show them where to do more work.

Take the abilities you have and develop them. Show the talents sleeping inside you how to come awake. Develop the abilities you have. When people point up to you areas that are your shortcomings, instead of taking it as a "put down," take it as valuable information to be used to strengthen you and make that area more effective for you.

You don't have to go very far to be in Heaven; Spirit is nearer than your own hands and feet.

If you are caught in your own negative thoughts, they may get in the way of you being the loving person you would like to be.

Remember, you are already spiritual. You can increase the expressed spirituality by bringing more loving into your actions. Then your expression begins to reflect more and more purely the spiritual being you are.

Understanding starts with letting go. It starts with releasing yourself from, "I want it this way. I don't want it that way." Choose to come into neutrality by letting go. The understanding will follow.

The only way to be happy is to take responsibility, authority, and control over your life. You must own your thoughts. You must complete your actions. You build self-esteem by completing your actions. If you want to feel worthwhile, do worthwhile things. Do them with integrity. Do them with excellence. Do them with loving.

We store "incompletes," things that we do not want to handle, and put into the "back of our minds." They don't go away, as we might hope. They surface, usually in unpredictable ways and timing, giving us the opportunity to face and complete what we have started.

Your best reference point for anything is your experience. Every experience you have points the way to reality. Even the trials and tribulations are your attempts to shake yourself awake from your illusions that you have created with ambiguous thinking or anticlimactic emotions. Each experience points the way past the illusions and towards the God within.
