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.

Waking to Peace

I awake to a peaceful morning.

Around me are sounds and sights of Nature.

I feel the peace and balance of the day.

I know that I can bring myself back to this feeling of peace whenever I need to.

I have a way of observing, but not engaging, in the disturbances around me.

I can take action without succumbing to despair.

Peace is energizing me and permeating all that is disruptive.

Peace always wins.

Peace is what underlies the upheavals and cycles of the earth, so that all are provided for.

Peace, itself, is the substance of action which is taken to comfort and uplift.

In the midst of each of us, there is a center of peace.

It provides an infinite flow of comfort and trust.

We are led to follow it and to establish our own peace wherever we go.

Peace establishes itself in our minds and hearts and expresses Itself as us.

The peace that none can take away is a permanent part of us.

When we live from the peace that is within us, we participate in a different kind of community.

We are part of the power of peace which spreads Itself everywhere and makes Itself known to willing hearts.

I wake to peace each moment that I feel Its Presence within me.

Bear Witness to a Higher Course

Feel the power of your ideals.

There is a reason they give you the feeling that they do.

Your life is bound up in the expression of your ideals.

When you do not live up to them, you feel discomfort.

They are what keep you on your higher course.

It is always possible to aim higher, and with that you feel the influx of happiness, energy and other resources.

The shape of your expression is determined by what you love to do.

Committing yourself to this action will bring more of it into your life.

Live only with what you really need.

Do not be distracted by too many possessions or the need for them.

Keep only what contributes to your higher course.

Let all other things fall away.

You will be drawn to people of like-mind and they will be drawn to you.

You will be supported by those who appreciate what you do.

You will continually empower yourself to higher and more beautiful and effective action.

You will step from one higher place to the next as your expression leads you.

Never compromise; it will only bring you down.

Never follow the suggestions of others; you are not living from their viewpoint.

You are always receiving your own direction, so never break your trust.

Listen clearly and take action and you will bear witness to your higher course.

Be Sure of Your Direction

Be sure of your direction and then proceed peacefully and with confidence.

There is no rush to release something that is not fully developed.
