In Spirit's Time

In me, as me, through me, the Christ consciousness moves me ever closer. It reminds me what I am and Centers me always as I allow Its presence to be my essence!

May the warmth you feel radiate beyond you, and open every person to the realization of peace which we already are. ~jts

I simply change my thought, and I am reborn to a new world and a new idea of me!

Wishing you all a Happy Thanks Giving everywhere!. Enjoy this day of family and of giving thanks for all that we have in this moment.   jim  

In an age where there is much talk about "being yourself," I reserve to myself the right to forget about being myself, since in any case there is very little chance of my being anybody else. ~Thomas Merton, "Day of a Stranger," Thomas Merton Reader, p. 431

To say I always recognize my connection to that life force which has brought me into this experience of myself in human form would be a lie, or, at the very least, a miss statement. I am after all human and subject to the miss thoughts, foibles and distractions that everyone else is. I wish I was more conscious than I am, but in the overall life experience, I feel I am more conscious than I was. Whatever that means. I am more aware of the things I do that make my life better and help those around me. I am also painfully aware sometimes of the things I do that make my life less than a joy. I still wonder sometimes why I am not more conscious about those things I do which affect those around me or myself before I do them. It is those times I need to work on. How can I move more deliberately, more mindfully, and more lovingly, more often? I talk about attention and intention all the time. In order to be a greater positive influence in the lives of others, I need to put greater attenti...

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, says, "Life is a mirror of your consistent thoughts." And he is so right. So, remember if you wish to see yourself, your life and the world in a different light, you must see yourself and all those around you in a new light. Peace and Light, Jim

Join me in knowing that as we leave this day of remembrance, we move forward into a new idea, birthed in God, Spirit or whatever you want to call our divine source. We are propelled by our thoughts to think of this world in new ways in every moment. Know with me that these thoughts are good thoughts, worthy thoughts, thoughts of peace, of love, of joy. And know with me that these conscious thoughts become the norm in our lives, and in our actions and as we go forward day by day We move into a new paradigm of a new world based in love, in compassion, and in the maxim that we are, each of us, our brothers keeper. And in gratitude we are each given a new life This is the truth right now. and so it is!

Fear is an emotion, a reaction to something that exists only in our mind. ~jts

In the shadows of my thoughts, in that quiet place undisturbed by the world, is a thought always of Peace. In that place of peace is the real world, and the essence of all that is- Joy, Love, Harmony, Peace, Compassion, Gratitude and Laughter. They are all connected as are we in our greatest realization of the universe of Good. ~jt starke

Quote: Whenever you leave one place to go to another place, . pause for a second to realize the presence has gone before you to prepare the way, and that the same divine Presence remains behind you as a benediction to all who pass that way. ~Joel Goldsmith, The Infinite Way, pg 97, para., 3 Affirmation: Spirit moves me ahead as I am willing to move. Affirmative Prayer: I give pause to Spirit, everywhere present, everywhere the Presence in my life. Before me, beside me beyond me, I find myself within Its embrace always. I am bathed in the love of God in every moment. Immersed and connected, I allow It to be my guide, the perfect conductor of my life, It directs my every action. I move ever forward, allowing, ever allowing my good to unfold. I open to every avenue, every way It lays before and trust. As I go with the flow, it blesses that which has been and beckons me come ever further into Its expression of life as me. I gratefully accept my good in every way and in every day, and reali...

Quote:: According to traditional theology, we were all created in the image and likeness of our Creator. Well then, shouldn't we act accordingly?" ~Tami Coyne and Karen Weisman Affirmative Prayer:: There is only One. It exists in, as and through each one of us. Because It is everywhere present and because It is always present, It manifests my every thought. What do I choose today to be my experience? I choose good. I choose my highest and best idea of me. I choose that which is an experience of the Divine in me. I am the microcosm of the macrocosm. I am different only by degree, like drop unto the ocean, the same yet individualized. As this I am always sufficient in all things. In health, in success, in prosperity, and in relationships with others. All I need and can accept at my present level of acceptance and understanding is now provided. I am blessed and I am a blessing. I am exceedingly grateful for the life I am. I thank that spark within for all I have and for all I am...

Today's Quote: "Does God need our praise? No. God is whole and complete already. Do we need to praise? Yes! In praise, we find our oneness with God. When we lift up our hearts in praise, we raise our vision to the highest heights of soul expression, where every answer stands out in crystal clarity." ~Greg Barrette My Affirmation: I lift up my heart and my spirit to God in praise. Today's Meditation: As I know Spirit doesn't need my praise to be made greater or more complete, I also know that Spirit is already whole and complete within me, as in every soul and creation that It has ever made. I open my heart in praise to God, not because Spirit needs it, but because I do. In so doing, I raise my vibratory rate, aligning and attuning myself to Spirit's vibration and energy. Thank You, Spirit for this healing, life-giving power that is within me. As I trust totally and I love utterly, I open to my greater growth as a spiritual being, in this moment, and always. an...

Today's Quote: Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet. Let it not be a death but completeness. Let love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest. Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way. ~ Rabindranath Tagore Affirmation: I die to the old and rebirth in the new! Prayer: Lover, I fear not my death, for in this and every moment I know, I Am your Beloved. In and through me are you, my heart, my soul, birthed to the world. In and through you am I, your beloved, infinite and good. Together we are complete, a perfect unity of the heavens and the earth. Each moment, I relish the newness and bathe myself in the Light. There can be nothing greater than the infinite rebirth in thee. I am at Peace in each moment I AM. I AM every moment...

Quote: "Creative power is that receptive attitude of expectancy which makes a mold into which the plastic and as yet undifferentiated substance can flow and take the desired form." ~Thomas Troward Affirmative Prayer: In this space I call reality, I recognize the perfect form of Spirit in all things. God is my co-creator. As I offer myself up to Its perfect creative power, I know that I am One with it, now and always. It is all there is, and I know that I am an extension of It. Spirit is my every thought, and every movement. As I think my thought, I know Spirit is there kneading my unformed thought into a shape consistent with my reality in this moment. It can do no less. My thoughts are the unformed "things" manifest in my experience, and I am blessed. How I see them is my choice. I can see the divine sculpture or the rubble before me. I choose to see the beauty of it all, the peace of it all and the Love of it all. There is nothing that is not God. Why would I cho...

Quote: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed." ~Albert Einstein Affirmative Prayer: As I look around me, I see the beauty of my Source in everything I see, touch, taste, smell, and hear. There is nothing It is not. God in everything is God in me. I am always in awe of Its power to express through me as my world. I am humbled that I am a powerful co-creator with Source. I am in unity with this Source of Good in me, and know that as I think my thoughts, Spirit fills my world with the beauty of this One Mind of which I am an individualization. Thank you Spirit I choose the path that is in conscious expectation of good unfolding. I know my good is my God, and in whatever form it manifests, I see the highest expression of God in It. It's all Good. I accept my abundance ...

Quote: Men need assurance that the physical life is a reflection of the INNER LIFE, and that the physical life responds to the INNER LIFE through prayer - - the speaking of the Word. ~ Benjamin F. Sherman, The Hem of the Garment Affirmative Prayer: Know in this moment and every now moment that the one life, the one Truth, that which is indivisible in my life is that which is of God, my Source, that infinite body of the universe and even greater than I can imagine. Know with me that this power is in each and every atom and cell of our bodies, of mine and of yours and that this source of all things is that through which I think, speak, feel, and know. In knowing this I know that this power in me creates with such conscious action that my life as I see it must be the perfect result. My thoughts by my inner communication with source are the out-picturing I call my life. It can be no less. I am perfect as me. My Word is my bond. I I am that which I see myself to be. I am That. I am the out...

I don't have a TV. The little news and info I get, I get from being online. I'm already staring at a screen too much, so I'm glad I don't have a TV. And I read a lot more, which I love. I digress. I heard about Osama the day after it happened, much later, and I went to CNN.Com to get the skinny. Tuned into a replay of Obama's address to the nation about the tactical operation, blah, blah, blah. I was saddened by what seemed like a need to justifythe killing of another human being in order that someone might feel like they would have closure. The bizarre thing is that closure at the elimination of one person will be short lived for those seeking this superficial closure when the next bomb goes off or the next attack takes place. The cancer of hate, of religious bigotry and racial supremacy will continue to fester until each of us is willing to do a serious self-examination of who and what we are, truly. Everytime we kill someone else, we kill a little of ours...

Quote: "Everywhere we look in nature. Our eyes come in contact with abundance; for nature knows no such thing as "failure."  Therefore, there never has been, and there never will be, a lack of anything, except conscious-awareness." ~ Bob Proctor Affirmation: I have the consciousness to create all things new. Affirmative Prayer: There is only One life, this life is Universal Divine Energy, and this life is my life, now and always. As I open to this truth of nature, the world and the Universe, I naturally open to my abundance. As I awaken to the conscious awareness that I am blessed and surrounded by the natural opulence of the world, I allow the small ideas, the limiting ideas, and the less-than ideas to fall away as I open my arms and just allow the greater goodness of all that surrounds me to be attracted into my experience. With God, I create all things new. Infinite good is mine, Infinite love, infinite joy, infinite self-expression. I say, "Ye...

Quote: Paradoxically, we achieve true wholeness only by embracing our fragility and sometimes, our brokenness. Wholeness is a natural radiance of Love, and Love demands that we allow the destruction of our old self for the sake of the new. -Jalaja Bonheim, Aphrodite's Daughters Affirmation: Divine source moves in, through and as me, and as each and every living thing in Its infinite universe. I am One with my Source, and the microcosm as It is the Macrocosm.  As part of It, I am, in my essence, that which It is. Perfect, Whole, and Complete. All my emotions, all my thoughts, and all my actions are the livingness of Spirit, individualized in physical form. As such I embrace every morsel of me, knowing that each is the perfect balance of me in this moment. I embrace the light and the dark, the happy and sad, the joy and the sorrow, the highs and the lows. All parts of me I honor and embrace, knowing that through all of them I find my center. I am blessed in the love of this kn...

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset.        ~ Crowfoot, a leader of the Blackfoot nation     There is only One. It is found in all things. It is all things. It is in you, and me and even in the breath of the Buffalo in the Winter time. I am blessed. We are all blessed by the unity within which we move, within the perfection which is everywhere present.   I know that my life, our lives, are entwined, inseparable, just as we are inseparable from our source. Never is there separation, never is there, lack, never is there anything which is not in perfect loving order, if we are ready to open to that which is.   As I lose my old self in the sunset of yesterday, and turn towards the light, towards, the truth, towards a new idea of me, of us, of everyone and everything, I see the change unfold ...

With the unified realization of One Divine Spirit common to all, we will realize peace. Commonalities create unity and our differences individualize each of us as incidences of the Divine. ~jts www.SpiritOnTheRoad.org

Quote: "What we usually pray to God is not that His will be done, but that He approve ours." ~Helga Bergold Gross Today's Affirmation I am surrendered and still in the Oneness of my unified Life. Today's Meditation I know that there is only one life. That life is God's life, and that life is my life. I know that there is no separation in any way between the Infinite and I. The I that is me is that same I in "I Am." As I create my life, it is the life of Spirit personified. In all its joys and all its sorrows, in its seeming abundance and perceived failures it only reflects that perfect idea of life as I wish to experience it in my God state. I choose exactly how I wish to spend my awakened moments. There is no one else who can live my life, God's life, for me. I am the only player, and I choose the good of my experiences. As I allow all the experiences in my world to flow, I choose to reach for and attract into my life that which is mean...

Quote: The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did about the future. Forget about the future. ~ A Year with Rumi, trans., by Coleman Barks There is nothing out there. It is all right here, within. In the now moment all things exist. The past, present and future exist as One. One. One life, One Love, just One. We, I, am part of it, or No, I am It. There is no separation, no thing, which I am not. I am related to all. Atom by atom, cell by cell, I am inextricably part of the whole. I can think I am separate, but whatever I do I am always reminded, I am, and I am brought back to the whole. I am, particle by particle, perfect, I am whole and I am complete, just as I am. That's all I can be. In whatever I dive into, I am a success. It may not seem that way, but I always am. I learn, I grow, I conquer my fears, I see a greater idea, beyond even what I thought could be, and it is so. As I let go of any limited ideas I may have and blaze forward knowing I am su...
