The World's Path is Not Your Path

The world’s path is breaking down.

But your path is opening up.

Your unlimited spiritual nature is guiding you to do the simple unlimited things first.

As you become unselfish and competent at those things, you will be given more.

the more you increase your service, the more opportunities will continue expanding for you.

You are a precious and valued member of society and civilization.

Your work is to realize this and to see where that reality takes you.

You are here with a purpose and it is not the world’s purpose.

It is the path within you, longing to be expressed.

Until You Find Your Own Path

You work for someone else until you find your own path.

You apply yourself to your job, practicing the principles you want to express along your own best path.

By valuing the way you express your core beliefs, and listening for your unique contribution, you will find your path.

From your deep listening, you will draw all the resources you could ever need, all exactly at the right time.

They appear as you become aware of your need.

The world’s pattern is not your pattern.

Yours comes from deep within and you express it outwardly.

You have all you need, and even more to share as you continue on your listening path.

Lookin' Good

Posing for selfies is a fun way to keep track of what is going on and how good you are looking.

Going “within” is a good way to keep track of who you are and what you are doing from your deep down core.

Creating the match between who you are and your “gifted” work is the best of what can happen in your life.

Look well and deep.

Try out the feeling of being the best that you can be doing the work that enriches your soul, i.e., pleases you, the most.

Try out the feeling of doing something until you can do the work that really pleases you.

The good feeling will take you there faster, much faster.

Getting discouraged and annoyed will also take you there as you desperately work to turn your life in the direction you really wanted to go in the first place.

So, in making a good life for yourself, really consider what you are here on earth to do.

And get to it as soon as possible.

Newness

I am repeating a fairly new process for myself, making yogurt from scratch.

I am heating the milk in an outdoor kitchen this time, and I have divided the culture packets approximately in half to make pints this time, not quarts.

I will let the yogurt incubate in an empty cooler for insulation, not in the the heat of the pilot light in a gas oven.

Will it work?

I don’t know.

It is certainly worth a try.

I find it useful and a little bit exciting (I realize I am talking about making yogurt) to find out how things work in different situations.

It is more knowledge for me, and maybe even a workable, (in this case, edible), product.

Report from the next day:

It did work and is quite delicious!

Your Release

Starting with what you know right now about yourself, what is the most fun and fulfilling thing you would like to do with your life?

That is a directive for you

Don’t try to do anything with it or about it.

Just notice it.

Appreciate it.

Observe it.

Love that it is there in your thought.

Come back to it from time to time.

Come back to it often.

Love it.

That is your direction.

In the quiet place of your mind, the within, enjoy its existence.

When you are impelled, you will do something.

Let that be your new way to live.

Observe.  Listen.  Love.  Be impelled.  Act.

Love some more.

Find Transcendence

Those incidents of rejection have nothing to do with me.  

They are part of the way I found my transcendence.

---------

Discomfort is one of your best friends.

So is betrayal.

---------

How are you going to find your own feet, your own balance without them?

Do you dare take the risk if you are too comfortable?

Are you accepted?

Why would you ever step out of that circle?

That niche?

Your comfy niche is your prison if you have a desire and you are not desperately working to fulfill it.

You goal should be outrageous and bodacious.

Keep dreaming it until you can work it.

Safe is not interesting, nor is it fulfilling.

Taste the new wind; try a new direction.

Be miserable as you are pulled inexorably toward your unreasonable goal.

But, underneath, be happy and amazed at your daring and courage.

Pleasing Someone Else

You only have to please someone else until you believe yourself worthy of pleasing yourself.

This old cultural struggle is worth the strength it will build up in you.

Despite any and all attachments, you belong to yourself first.

You can still take care of your cultural responsibilities as you move yourself where you belong.

You have enough creativity to do this.

You have the right resources to both flourish in taking care of yourself and to take care of your second responsibilities.

Both are important.

Ask to be guided to take the steps which will fulfill you and which will not leave others destitute.

Move yourself into your best position this way.

You will not be disappointed.
