Deep Peace and Abundance

I have faith that the Universe is restoring deep peace on earth through the individual consciousness of each one of us.

As each of us finds the deep peace within, and acts on it, it rewrites our life and nullifies any other forces which applied to it.

The One Power is Good and It is Good for all of us.

My deep peace is an infinite eternal reservoir which is welling up and overflowing from within me.

All the disturbances and inequalities which we are seeing right now are the result of the emerging deep peace.

Never before has there been such wide communication and everyone wants the abundance which comes from deep peace.

The desperate grab for the things of the earth is one side of the coin of abundance.

Because abundance is far more than all the things of the earth, it is coming into conflict with true abundance for all.

The more powerless our form of government becomes, the more we will all seek the deeper peace of abundance within each one of us.

It will be a surprising and delightful way of living that emerges once all the greed implodes.

From Within, All is Well

The only way to find lasting peace is to find it within.

Even with this goal, we have to remind ourselves over and over again to return to our safe haven.

From within, in deep peace, we can listen for and find solutions.

I have had simple solutions come to me, like remembering where a lost item is, or more complex solutions, like finding a new job, or a new house.

When I truly expand my thought from within, ideas come to me for larger enterprises, along with each next step when I am ready to listen even more deeply.

All the steps, all the solutions come from the desire to serve in such a way as to uplift society and civilization.

It may seem like a ridiculous and preposterous desire to uplift society and civilization, but each one of us, doing our part, adds either to uplifting or depressing our own situation and therefore the larger state of the world.

When our work comes from the deep peace within, it is truly pure.

This Universal Source is deep within each of us.

It is unlimited and available in every situation.

We can return to it over and over again, and it is always refreshed.

We have access to an unlimited supply of very relevant ideas which always act in such a way as to bless and uplift society and civilization.

Because we are not dealing with outside factors when we go within, our solutions are not partisan or destructive in any way.

From within, all is well.

We can rely on it and others can as well.

Peace is mine forever

Now that I am learning how to cultivate peace for myself, I am realizing that is has always been there, but I did not know how to access it.

I turn within many times a day to find the peace there.

I listen for the ideas to express peacefully.

I am generous, much more generous, in my thoughts towards others.

I do not know what they are dealing with, but it can’t be good if they are so unhappy.

I take three deep breaths (www.takethreedeepbreaths.blogspot.com) to remind myself of my place within the world.

I sing myself a little song, one of many which I invent, to help me appreciate myself.

This helps me establish the peace from within so that I can express it around me.

The peace that I find feels like it has been flowing forever.

People through the ages have written about peace by sharing their thoughts as poems or paintings.

They have always been able to draw on their rich resources of peace.

I am learning to do that, too.

Working in harmony

My husband and I have committed ourselves to a new project and as always, we come to it from our separate perspectives.

However, this time, we seem to have more time to listen to each other’s views.

 This is increasing the harmony in how it is getting done.

We have always trusted each other with important actions, but this time there seems to be more harmony in the details.

Each one of us is doing our part, and getting input from each other when we need it.

Maybe we have just gotten used to working together with each other over the years.

We have, but it feels like more than that.

It feels like there has just been more and more progress in personal development and spiritual growth so that we are able to anticipate what needs to be done next and it dovetails with the actions taken by the other person.

It’s a nice way to work together.

I live in peace

I, myself, am expressed in peace.
No turmoil, without or within.
My peace within, surrounds me everywhere.
I have no other place to be.

Marriage, family, home, work, 
All which identifies me
Is peace, and peace again
Over, around, throughout my life.

I build anew on peace.
It is peace Everlasting.
I did not know myself,
How or when or if.

But it permeates me now
It is my new residence
I live from peace within
And it surrounds me without.

Moving into first place

I have just moved myself into first place.

I had never thought of it that way before, but there it is.

I am best positioned to take care of myself because I know most intimately what my needs and desires are.

After years of putting everyone else first, I now know that my responsibility and my right is to truly take care of what is important for me, for myself.

I no longer have the bridge the gap of taking what is left over of my time, my energy, and my resources to provide for myself.

And by providing for myself, I mean providing for my self-expression.

It is important.

That is why I am here.

All my nature yearns to be expressed, acknowledged, recognized.

After all, that’s why I have received my gifts.

Feeling Great

I feel really great after reading several of the blogs I subscribe to.

These are upbeat authors with something to teach, through their own demos and research.

I feel informed and like the idea of taking care of myself through doing the kinds of things they do.

The posts range from quilting, art and sketching, lots of food ideas, and taking care of our environment.

It is wonderful to find and attract ideas that are uplifting to me.

This will happen more and more to each of us as we identify and seek out what feels the very best to us.
