Our divine nature - our true self - is not something distant and unreachable within us. And the only thing that keeps us from acknowledging that inside of ourselves can be our own unwillingness to move beyond the beliefs that we cling to.

You are already all that you will be. You are already that which you seek. The blessings already are, and all you need to do is open your eyes and see that. All you need is the realization.

What you believe can sometimes be a carryover from patterns you learned in childhood. And those beliefs can be more of a crutch than a support to help you function at the highest potential of your existence. And isn't it funny to blame your present existence upon something that happened when you were a child?

You are in this world to learn the highest form of communication, which is unconditional loving under all circumstances. Part of that process includes learning how to create wisely in order to bring about completion. In other words, don't start anything you can't finish in loving.

Focus on the goodness of the work you do, and then correct the flaws as you go along.

Let go and move with the changes as they come forward. You have sometimes looked at this as a form of punishment, but it is not. It's a form of discipline.

If you have apprehensions or anxieties about your process of self-revelation, that would be ordinary as you become attuned to what is taking place within. Your consciousness is aware that you are on a journey into your Soul.

We were not put on this earth to be beggars. We have the choice within us at all times to change our behavior and to make the most of any situation. The spark of divine truth lies within each one of us, and we need only to awaken to that and activate it in our lives to make it a reality.

The Spirit moves through the heart rather than through the emotional content. When the Spirit moves upon you, something that was tentative inside becomes solid. Something that you may have thought about Spirit or about God becomes firm inside, and you know that you know that you know. Doubts disappear and clarity appears.

You get what you focus on. So it makes sense to keep choosing and focusing on grace in every moment and to take the love and joy of Spirit with you wherever you go.

If you want to hurry up getting your next initiatory tone, you do more spiritual exercises. Then the Spirit in you gets stronger and starts to influence these levels. As it influences these levels, it starts to clear them faster.

In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we invite you to consider that first and foremost you are a Soul. Once you log-on to that truth, then there are infinite opportunities to have greater experiences of your nature as a Soul. And to know your Soul is an experience of happiness and joy.

If you don't listen to the inner voice, it shuts off. The inner voice is noninflictive. And to awaken it again takes a lot of prayer, a lot of devotion, a lot of spiritual exercises. And I'll tell you a way it opens in a hurry: be of selfless service to the people around you. That opens the heart. The Spirit heart opens, and the communication of the Lord starts to come with you.

We would be much further ahead in this world if we worked more to make our own beliefs valuable to ourselves rather than trying to change other people's beliefs. And we would be even further ahead if we found the uniqueness of our thoughts, experiences and personalities and capitalized on them.

We need to come again to that place where we say to others, "I am taking total responsibility for myself and for my relationship with you and with anyone else inside of me. I do not blame you anymore for just being who you are because, truly, you are perfect. You don't have to change, and if you would like to change, that will be okay."

It doesn't work to try to change anyone's beliefs because if a person wants to change, they will do it alone - from inside themselves.

For those of us who know that we are of God, the responsibility is to live in love and to be loving in all that we do. By our consciousness, we can lift the planet - just by being present and by the energy of Spirit that is manifesting through us.

Question: Many times when I think of you, I will send you the Light or say, "God bless you" to myself. Does this help you in any way? Answer: Yes, it sure does. Thoughts are transmitted over long distances and we are affected on many different levels by them. Sending the thought "I love you" or "God bless you" can work wonders, and I appreciate it when you send those words to me.

The Light is a resolving consciousness so all can be transformed into a state that is clear and present with good for all. The Light is love and peace and harmony with all of the creation, all people and things.

If you have flaws, fine. Just do not focus on them; work on them. If you looked only at your flaws, you probably would not feel worthy to be here because you would see the errors of your behavior and the imperfections of your body.
