Guidance

When you are getting tossed around by the sway of opinions and constant news harassment, where do you find guidance?

When you look within, you find freedom from all the noise, and you can hear yourself think.

Even before you start the thinking process, there is something else underneath that.

You can choose to go into the quiet place deep below your thoughts and listen.

That is where you will find guidance.

Guidance is in the peaceful feeling that spreads throughout your body.

As you breathe deeply and peacefully, you feel the calm in which the message will be delivered.

Following the deep calm and the feeling of peace is a message.

A simple message.

It tells you to move or to stay.

It tells you to look at a particular thing.

It does not present options.

You simply feel the best course of action.

As you rouse yourself and then take the step you were given, you are honoring the guidance which you received.

As you do this over and over again, you arrive at a destination which not only blesses you, it blesses all those within range of your thought.

A Slow Pace

We can reform the practices we need to at a gentle and slow pace as we become accustomed to our new habits.

If we are creating a new thread instead of just repairing an old habit, it may take more time.

We may have to test things as we explore new connections.

That takes time, too.

Each step resets the connections to all the other steps.

It is not possible to hurry.

If it feels like you are stalled or stuck, there are other hidden connections being installed.

You can only proceed as fast as it takes for all the other elements to be included.

Trying to push ahead never works.

It is better to wait it out until you feel the release.

Then you know the foundation is secure and safe for all that rests above it.

All the issues you have been working on suddenly, gently, make sense, and you can proceed at a normal pace without anxious interruptions.

In fact, the fear, anxiety, frustration, and tension no longer fit inside your body or your circumstances.

Instead, it all feels good.

Doing What is Mine

I feel such deep peace from doing what is mine to do.

Not what I have been assigned from the outside.

Doing what comes from within.

When I feel the unity of ideas taking shape and being expressed, I feel the deep peace.

There is a gentle, consistent, persistent flow of idea and manifestation.

It becomes almost simultaneous.

Stages which lead up to this are ideas which are fun and exciting.

Thinking about ways to do them.

Exploring resources.

When everything comes together and I am not influenced by the opinions of others, I can proceed in a calm and orderly way which may be quite rapid, or held together over weeks.

Practicing all the tiny steps in powerful.

Taking steps when you think you cannot builds a different kind of strength.

Commitment to oneself as ad advocate for your own ideas is why you are here.

You are meant to express them.

Keep going through all the steps and stages to find the harmony of deep peace.

Share the News From Within

It is OK to check on what is going on in the world, but do not let yourself stay there for very long.

Your life is about discovering your unique identity and making your contribution.

Feeling the peace within is the very first starting point every day and sometimes every hour.

The projects and ideas that come to you are where your peace begins.

It is important to share them.

You are being given the means to do this every time your think about what you love, what is important to you.

You are here to express your wealth of ideas and to be repaid in proportion to how much you value and benefit your recipients.

There is a balance in the world.

It comes when you and everyone around you express their unique ideas.

These are complimentary to one another.

No one can occupy anyone else’s unique space and role in society.

Each time you take your place and carry out your idea, you are helping create and maintain the balance.

You are reaching the people who will most benefit from what you have to offer.

Share your idea.

Become the news.

Increasing Peace

Discovering the peace within is a remarkable feeling.

Learning to access it at any time is a wonderful resource.

Being able to expand it is a humbling feeling.

Now that I know where to find my peace, I long to increase the peaceful experiences in my life.

I am learning to do so.

By returning over and over again to the peaceful feeling, I naturally find ways to experience it more.

It is leading to release of pressure over doing things.

It is leading to slight adjustments in organization.

It is leading to projects being set up so I can work on them.

And it is leading to reading the news with solutions in mind.

We have gone over the top in reacting to bad leadership.

There is a reason to have moral goodness in view of everyone.

It helps raise the level of behavior and conversation.

It promotes the discussions which lead to understanding.

It takes away the need for violent reaction.

We can increase our peace within and without.

We can be a model of patience and listening and calm.

These feelings are contagious.

They underlie the peace we can expand in our communities.

Where the War Takes Place

Inside each of us are our many opinions and experiences.

This is where the war takes place.

What is right?

Where do I belong?

As people settle the question for themselves, peace begins to take shape.

The limitations of hatred and negativity are certainly taking their immense toll.

The power of the goodness in everyone, no matter buried how deep in ignorance and depravity, will rise to the surface.

It is the destiny of every courageous heart.

The power of truth and reconciliation which took place to end apartheid in South Africa have their equivalent in every culture.

We are all unified in that fact.

The new awareness of the rights of everyone is clashing with the fear that only so much good is available.

When everyone is expressing good, much more is available!

This ridiculous fear of limited good is where the war takes place, and the space available to it is dwindling rapidly.

A Habit of Calm

It is possible to train oneself to a habit of being calm.

This was not how I was raised.

This is not what I practiced while I was raising my own children.

It is what I decided I wanted to be and how I wanted to live.

I began by realizing that I did not need to panic over certain things.

I learned to remain calm in certain situations.

Then I began expanding it to other areas of concern and even anger.

I learned I could be calm then, also, and I could listen for solutions in a calm frame of mind.

Now, many big things which would have pushed me completely over the edge with severe emotional reaction, are met with calm.

From finding what I need in small situations from a calm demeanor, inwardly and outwardly, I have been able to have the expectation that I will find what I need in more disturbing situations.

I always do.

As I continue to remain calm, the solution gently presents itself.

It may take a little while, but, because I know it is there, and because I am preparing a place for it with my calm mind, I am able to receive it every time.

I like this new approach to living.

I certainly enjoy it much more, and I have a much more productive life.
