Providing Uplifting Mental Space

I am careful to note what I am thinking of and how it makes me feel.

I want to have the most uplifting day I can possibly have and so I have to prepare myself for it.

I provide the time and thought to fill me with expectation and happiness.

I cultivate an uplifting mental attitude by looking within for my guidance.

It always serves me well.

I feel the presence of useful and practical ideas which contribute to the unity and beauty of life and mankind.

These displace the negative images constantly coming through the media harassment.

I find notices of conferences by organizations whose goal is empowerment and information.

I find groups which organize seed saving, tree planting, environmental clean-up, regenerative organic certification.

There is so much opportunity for service in these important directions.

We can see the direction which greed and selfishness have brought to national government.

I am grateful for this exposure of so much previously hidden influence.

I turn my thought to the ways in which ideas are being communicated which lift people up.

I am glad to be part of a movement of inspiration.

I am delighted to create songs, drawings, and meditations for people.

This is a valuable way for me to spend my time, creating positive and uplifting mental space.

Current of Awareness

What I choose to be aware of controls my life.

If I am only feeding my mental life through the media, I am missing out on what my soul-life has to offer me.

By becoming aware of my inner guidance and my ability to listen within, I take back control of my mind, and therefore, of my life.

I become aware of a much greater power within me.

It is a power to focus on the guidance which is coming from within, rather than the pressure of harassment from without.

It is an awareness that there is more to life than what I feel through the five senses.

There is more depth and more liberation.

My life and my mind are my own, not a place for a power and influence grab.

I have an awareness which is always active within me.

It keeps me from getting too distracted for very long and pulls me back on my own path.

I am part of a much greater world than the one addressed by the media.

My world within connects with everyone who has this awareness.

It is a power beyond what economics and politics can grab.

It is a permanent and calming presence.

It connects my individuality with the uniqueness and expression of those who are taking control of their own lives.

We connect in a particular way which achieves its own recognition.

We attract and connect with those who are listening and awakening from within.

Our awareness is growing and is affecting a large movement of individuals who value themselves differently.

This is a kind of awareness which is constantly available to comfort and to calm from within.

The First Peace on Earth (Comes From Within)

Establish it everywhere you go, your own peace from within.

Take your first deep breath, and pause to listen.

Keep your calm, and breathe into it, until you feel it fully.

Let it surround you as you take each step.

You will make your decisions, big ones, little ones, in complete calm, and thus establish your peace around you.

Those you deal with will experience peace first hand as they talk and interact with you.

As you transition between places and events, take your first deep breath of peace, and let it fill you fully.

As thoughts about your next transaction or meeting come to you, infuse them with the peace in you and let it fill out the words you speak.

You will see the meeting take shape in a productive and harmonious way.

Your needs will be taken care of, often in ways no one could have anticipated.

The answer is always in the peace when you let it fill you completely.

Take the time to fill up with peace; then there is no space for disturbance or distraction of any kind.

Measure all that you do by the standard of peace which fills you completely.

You will notice that wasteful distraction simply veers away from you.

You will do what is important and the next step will be clear.

You will meet your production deadlines and everyone involved will pass along your peace and add to it.

You will have calm and anticipated celebrations as your peace dictates how the business is run and how you treat the people on your team and in your company.

Everyone will benefit from the policy of peace in your standard of operations.

Choosing Focus

The more I trust myself, the more I can refine my focus.

My focus becomes more powerful as it is concentrated.

Although I continue to participate in the current political and economic scene, my creative focus is my priority.

What am I creating for myself and others which will lift us up?

What am I creating for myself and others which will comfort us?

What am I creating for myself and others which will empower us to do our best?

What am I creating for myself and others which will give us the courage to follow our individuality?

What am I creating for myself and others which will help us steward the earth?

This is my priority and it is my focus.

I am empowered to carry it out as I recognize it and do not get distracted.

Some things move fast and others move more slowly, but they all come to fruition.

“Organizing” my Studio is a key component;  I let everything move at its’ own rate in its’ own flow.

I receive the ideas, I am connected with the materials and others ways of expressing it, I share it.

The ideas are simple although there may be many layers which go into its creation.

The layers combine in a harmonious and distinctive way until they are complete.

Then the idea is released.

Many ideas may evolve simultaneously.

Occasionally there is just one project.

All the ideas are nurtured until they are manifested.

I am a key element in the process.

I am the focal point in expressing the precise ideas which come to me.

That is my reason for existing and my purpose.

Including Everyone

What a sense of peace there is when everyone is included.

Through respect, everyone is provided for.

Everyone’s talents and abilities are given room for expression.

Where there was despair, now there is encouragement.

Where there was no respect, now everyone is seen in an individual light.

Through expectation that light is nurtured and expands.

We are all given valuable talents and abilities.

Creating an atmosphere where they can be developed benefits society and civilization greatly.

Creating an atmosphere where it is natural to have respect allows more development of skills and talents.

The sense of security knowing that the basics are taken care of through a normal workday and work duties is immense.

All have the right to perform useful service in ways which provide enough for their families.

It is arrogance to exclude anyone.

Everyone is here to serve a higher purpose.

Structuring society so that people can get their own feel under them is essential.

Then they can explore their potential and encourage others to do so.

A view of people as limited, unimaginative and as existing only to serve corporate interests has produced dysfunction.

Cooperation, appreciation, respect for the intrinsic value of everyone would create a completely different society.

Underlying Peace

Feel the deep underlying peace of the day.

The rhythm of the universe unfolds as the light distributes itself around the planet.

The oceans carry the immense power of their currents.

Windstreams above the earth create gigantic energies.

We, too, infuse the earth with our presence.

What energies are we stewarding?

Can we direct them toward good for everyone?

The solutions are here, in the rhythm of the Universe as it passes around and through us.

Only our attitudes direct it.

Shall we see beyond the old patterns and embrace infinity for all?

Then mental energies will turn in that direction and seek and find solutions.

Shall we treat everyone as deserving and valued?

Then resources will appear in ways to serve universally.

Shall we let go of our own individual viewpoints and experiences in order to accommodate an unlimited way?

Then, we shall be a part of the underlying and peace and provision for all.

Balance of Good

I will release my positive view in the face of all the disturbances going on around us.

My positive view has a place, despite the chaos.

My positive view is based on the fact that my choices have brought me to where I am now.

I can continue to make good choices in every circumstance.

I can choose to fill my thought with uplifting and inspiring thoughts.

I can expect good solutions to be found by caring people.

I can expect the imbalances to be addressed and balance restored through appropriate and committed action, of which I am a part.

I trust that order will be found despite chaos, and that our united action is the way that order will be found.

There are principles that bind us, practices which uphold us, and generosity of spirit despite all.

I will put my efforts into understanding and patience and universal good.

Policy which supports the efforts of all to provide for themselves provides stability and a sense of balance.

This is well known by those forces which are enacting destabilization.

Our awareness and unified action to create a better policy through elections will place our balance on a better foundation.
