The question arises: Does God exist within or without? As if there were a difference. The mystics of the ages have told us, look within. But, once we find God, we also realize, in that moment, that the separation I imagined between me and you, is a delusion. We are all one. KD

If we are born to Love, and we do not Love. What then? Then we would be like a bird, who never flew Then we would be like a tree, that never reached for the light Unhappy we will be Until we are set free To Love and Laugh Spiritually KD

Todays motivation to seek the spiritual life at depth does not come as it did when we 1st sought and accepted help. Gone is the desperation, despair, hopelessness, and loneliness that 1st brought us to Spirit. It’s too easy for us to forget that we need God now as much as ever KD

There are great textbooks on living spiritually. These manuals concern themselves with the development of the spiritually asleep, offering a path to move from the merciless obsessions and psychic pain, to the spiritual awakening. What books do you place on this list?

The sense of belonging, of self-esteem and dignity must come from living the Spiritual life, through a series of spiritual awakenings. We must move closer to the Truth that Spirit gives us these gifts. As long as we know that, we lose our fear of what others think. We are free.

If we are all one, and God is everything, then there is no separation between Spirit and I. It holds true that we cannot say positive things about Spirit without saying positive things about ourselves. When we praise God, we praise ourselves. We are Spirit after all, praise God.

I post short items I write from my meditations each day. However, they all have their roots in my many teachers. I miss the ones who are only in my heart and treasure the ones still with us in the physical world. We all have so many teachers to thank. #NewThought

What if the offerings of God were time specific? Like this day they would never come to pass in the same way again. Use them or lose them! Whether this is the Truth matters not! If we act as if then we are compelled to use what we know of Gods principles in our lives today.

Nothing more purely produces the strength to propel us through the spiritual experience than our deepest sorrows, most difficult times, harm caused to others, and the harms that befell us. All come to be seen as the most nourishing spiritual food in existence. #NewThought KD

Melinda French Gates What if the help we need is not coming from the top. I believe and supported many candidates that are committed to helping the social and environmental justice issues we all face. What if they are unable to help with the bureaucracy. We also need bottom up leader ship.

As Spiritual people we proclaim on this day that the "Everyman for themselves." experiment has failed. We know the Truth. We are all one, separated from our fellows we wither and die. Separated by our own crises or pushed aside by arrogant bullies makes no difference. KD

In the Spiritual Realm it is required of us to strive to be heard. But only when there is someone listening who is struggling to hear a message of hope and seeking an answer. KD

"Don't miss the forest because of the ugliness of some of its trees" applies if you still see ugly trees Realize that the tree is deformed because of a hard windblown life; then we see the beauty, we see the forest See all people in the like, see the beauty of the human race KD

The large tree takes the breath away from the sinner and the saint. The sinner gasps, wrong about so many things. The saint wells up, righteous in their long walk. Does it matter in the forest if you have been right, or have wasted your life? KD

Self - Esteem vs. God - Esteem In a attempt to build self-esteem we love the idea of having social status, admiration from others, a boastful view of past achievements, current and past possessions, and association with prominent citizens. These turn out to be fool's gold.

Sometimes we need to sing, sometimes we need to listen to a song. When we know the difference, we will know when to sing along. KD

Sometimes we need to listen to a song. Sing when you are frightened, listen when you are strong. Sing when you are happy, listen when you are wrong. KD

We didn't hear The Church Bells ring. The Preacher Man didn't knock nor sing. Nevertheless, we were led limping our way towards Home. Today we know: Somewhere the Bells rang. And a prayer was said for grace and a soul to be saved. KD

Part One: We can make ourselves feel better! That is easy, take a nap, go to the spa, turn off our devices, read a book, take a vacation. We will feel better, but we will not be healed. The feeling we get may be short lived, soon lost. So, it has been with me. KD

Part Two: Only through self-sacrifice, service to others, fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, sexual orientation, national origin, or income we find that we've left the world as a more loving home. We will be healed. KD
