Turn Towards God NOW

Turn towards God NOW, even when nothing is going wrong, even when you feel fine. I was reminded today of this little story: I lived on Maui for 6 years, a quiet secluded life. For some time I lived alone in a tiny house with an expanse of green fields and the ocean for my backyard. The guava trees, the banana trees, and the wind were my companions.
I used to fly to Los Angeles to work. That's where I was in my first big earthquake. I was awakened by hundreds of car alarms going off and the big double bed I was sleeping in sliding across the floor. Having never been in an earthquake before, but hearing the car alarms, I thought at first it was a tsunami warning -- because that's what it would have been in Hawaii.
My mind suddenly realized it was an earthquake, and I thought -- the house is going to come crashing down on my head, I am going to fall through to the 1st floor, and it's really going to hurt, but only for a minute, because then I will be dead. So I sat down on the floor to meditate so I'd be ready to die. And the earthquake stopped.
My years of spiritual practice allowed me not to panic -- and to prepare to die. So don't wait to turn to God. Turn to God now. Now while you still can. Now while your breath still flows. Now.

A thought...

I tend to want to do things I can't do rather than do things I can do. I think that once you can do something why bother anymore?

Grace and control..

"Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn't, do your work anyway. You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I'm given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one's own vision."
— Kiki Smith

Hanging out with angels…

°☆  ★ ° ★ ●  *
What you as a spirit are given when you come to earth are a physical body and time. Time exists for you for so long as you are in a human body, at least at the practical level. What you must decide is — how will I use this physical body while I am here, and how will I use the time I am given?

These are not small thoughts to ponder. They are large truths to make use of. How will you use your physical body and how will you make use of your time while you are here?

Your answers to these questions mean everything.

Now is new. So whatever you have done in some ‘past’ reality — doesn’t matter now. You are free to learn from the past, let it go, and move on to something new. Now.

Will you? Or are you like someone on a muddy rocky bumpy road complete with lions and tigers and bears ready to leap out at you any moment — and you see a new road — a shiny clear road filled with angelic guides —

and you say, “Oh well, that road is not for me. I must continue on this old road. I have been here for so long. Maybe if I stay here and keep on suffering, just maybe I will get somewhere. Anyway, it is too late for me to take another road. That road cannot be meant for me.”

The angels say — Take the new road!

Rules for a Scientist

I found these "rules" for a scientist to be interesting and worth looking at, so here they are:
"Even if you're not a scientist, these are good rules for anyone to live by. The 11 Commandments of a Scientist."

JUST DO IT!

Is there something you have been meaning to do? Something you really want to do? That you know will be good for you? But you keep procrastinating, waiting for another day, finding excuses why you don't do it, thinking and ruminating about doing it, beating yourself up for not doing it, feeling bad about yourself every time you realize you haven't done it?

Stop thinking! Just DO IT! Limiting thoughts and feelings do not have to be your boss! Give yourself permission to break free of your procrastinating nature. Stop waiting! Stop letting silly thoughts tell you what you should be doing. Do what you know you should be doing. Stop making excuses!

Do the thing that your deeper inner intuitive VOICE is telling you to do! DO IT NOW! Go against limiting, self-defeating, lazy thoughts. And DO IT! Do it now!
