Be Patient

It's easy to get impatient when we want to sit and be calm but are distracted by the incessant wanderings and babbling of the mind.

Trust Yourself
Sit and be patient. Be open and be trusting in what comes to you. When your only intention is insight into the fullness of your being and helping to expand the peace and love in this world, nothing else can come of it. Be clear as crystal in what you want, and you will have it all.

Be The Lighthouse

When we go inside, we can find the calm at the centre of our being. We can feel that energy project like the beam of a lighthouse, out to sea. This is our first responsibility; to discover that place where we are still, to focus our awareness on it, and to resonate with it. We want this resonance, this frequency, to be the carrier upon which all other vibrations are carried; the place from which we experience everything. We are aware of everything, but we are at the same time aware of that central vibration, that central calm. It never completely leaves our awareness and it is through that awareness or connection that we stay firmly anchored in the present. Without this we drift like a rudderless ship at sea. With this we always know where we are, and we are like a lighthouse to others, helping them to find their way.

What Kind of World Do We Live In?

I was at an emotionally charged Town Council meeting last night. It is fascinating how we can have such different perceptions about a given situation.

We Experience What We Believe
In each moment, we re-create the world in which we live. Our perception of that world is not objective. It is governed by our beliefs, which we choose and have complete control over. Choose your beliefs carefully, for they determine what you perceive is happening in this and every moment.

Go Deep!

The Well Within
Take a moment each day to revisit the well within each of us. That deep, still well of infinite Love. It is there for each of us to draw from. It is replenished by the cosmos. It transcends space and time because it is the foundation without which nothing else exists. The well of Love sustains Spirit just as water sustains life.

Ah, Saturday!

Take a moment today. See if you can put the following thought into practice. It really does make a difference.

Express Your Gratitude
Take a moment each day for a gesture of your gratitude. A kiss for your loved one. A kind word for someone who needs it. A word of encouragement here. A sincere compliment there. A brief e-mail. A thoughtful voice mail message to surprise the recipient when he/she returns from work or a trip. A smile to a stranger. A hesitation in traffic, to let someone in. A heart-warming thought for yourself. It's nothing, and yet it's everything - it changes the world in which we live.

Rain, rain, go away.

It's been rainy, dark, gloomy here for weeks. This brings the following to mind:

Be Like a Moth.
The cure for darkness is light. When you find youself in darkness, or surrounded by darkness, remember that the smallest candle is an antidote to the deepest darkness. Always move your thoughts toward the light. Consciously shift your awareness to the light and your experience of darkness will immediately fade.

Here Goes!

Well. Finally! My website has been up for a couple of years now, but I haven't made it a priority to maintain a blog.

Here Goes! I will be posting inspired thoughts and poetry on this blog as time permits and as the inspiration comes.

I will start with the feelings that gave birth to Heart Speaks and to myself as Speaking Heart...

I am the heart of humankind.
I cry myself to sleep every night.
And each morning I awaken,
filled with the infinite pure Love,
that fills this creation.

Speaking Heart (Stuart McNair)
