​“Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.” ― Eckhart Tolle

You are placed perfectly for your success and growth.

​Jesus slips into a house to escape enemies,
and opens a door to the other world.
Soloman cuts open a fish, and there’s a gold ring.
Omar storms in to kill the prophet
and leaves with blessings.
Chase a deer and end up everywhere!
An oyster opens his mouth to swallow on drop.
Now there’s a pearl.
A vagrant wanders empty ruins.
Suddenly he’s wealthy.
But don’t be satisfied with stories, how things
have gone with others. Unfold
your own myth, without complicated explanation,
so everyone will understand the passage,
We have opened you.
Start walking toward Shams. Your legs will get heavy
and tired. Then comes a moment
of feeling the wings you’ve grown,
lifting.
-Rumi

​"To create your success, you use the creative imagination. On the inner screen of your mind, the theatre of your beingness, you set up successful situations. Simply hold that in your mind. Then see yourself comfortably handling the situation. The image of your positive thought will come back through your consciousness and start clearing the pressure at that point. You might have to hold it for a while, and you might have to go over this procedure more than once. You may have years of conditioning that you are altering."
John-Roger
In my experience as you hold the image of what you want in your life, the old beliefs, programming and mindsets will come up to challenge it. I have come to look at the challenges as indicators that I am getting ready for a break through to a new consciousness, closer to what I am holding for. The challenges are there to clear and heal.
It is easy to fall back into the negativity, the challenge is to keep holding the image of what you want and clear, heal or pray for Grace to move through the negativity.
May the path to your success be filled with joy and Grace.
Peace inside of me and peace in the world.
Peace be still.

​"Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”-Tolle
The stories we tell ourselves about who we are, the stories others craft about us, are just that...stories.
There is an energy, a flow, a knowing that is under that. It is the foundation. Call it Soul, Spirit, the I AM. This runs like a stream and is never changing. It is awareness.
Go to the truth of who you are...and let it set you free.
Peace inside of me and peace in Ukraine and Russia.
Peace be still.

Art - El testigo ,The Witness by Tomás Sánchez

"If you have a vision, a dream, a yearning for something that is worthy of you, then it is also worthy of your devotion.
What is worthy of you? That which uplifts you, supports you positively, and contributes to your joy and abundance. When you connect and commit to that, you can devote your life to it. And it's less a matter of your saying, "I'm ready to die for it," than your knowing, "I'm ready to live for it." I mean really live by experiencing the zest, the enthusiasm, the happiness of living in gratitude and fun.
Devotion is an energy that prepares the way in a manner that is often unseen yet often results in incredible opportunities. Devotion is an energy that says, "Regardless of considerations, I will move on it, with it, under it, around it. No matter what, I will go for it."
- John-Roger
I have been graced with knowing someone who's entire being was devoted to following Spirit. I never saw him waver. At the same time I told myself that I would never be able to even come close. When I told that to myself I was creating that reality, I was letting the negativity of the world pull me.
I now take a view that I can go into devotion in this very moment, and that would be great. If I find myself drifting into "story" or comparing, or fear, I can bring myself back into the moment and devote myself for one second to my upliftment, just in the now.
I use to collapse when I realized I wasn't mastering my world, I would give up, let the current take me over instead of looking to the shore and moving toward it.
When you find yourself at the choice point between judging yourself as not being able to do whatever and holding the vision of where you want to go, choose the upliftment, choose the expansion, choose the master's path just for the moment. Then the next moment, then the next, and soon the tide will shift and carry you to sanctuary.
Peace inside of me and peace in the world.
Peace be still.

​"God meets you at the point of your action." - John-Roger
I have looked at some things in my life as too big to climb, overwhelming. My mind can build the negative scenario inside of me and bring the doubt. My emotions can go to the fear and I can freeze.
I have learned to just take one step, a small step in the direction of what I want to achieve. Usually that is all it takes to get the pump primed and see the Universe line up to support me.
The action is the affirmation.
May your day be filled with sweet miracles and Grace.
Peace inside of me and peace in the world.
Peace be still.

The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me,
The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into a new tongue." - Walt Whitman (originally published in 1855)

​"Rather than seek, the Spiritual Warrior is open to each experience serving a greater good and cooperating with the highest good available."~John-Roger
“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.”- Eckhart Tolle

​"If we accept restriction, we manifest restriction. It's true on the physical level, also. If you feel you are not worthy of a great job, a particular salary, or a loving spouse, you create your own restriction. When you believe you are worthy of good things, good things come to you. Believing in yourself is a way you receive and use Spirit's Light energy. On the spiritual levels, too, I experienced that as long as I could keep expanding and supporting my value to receive more of God's Light and Sound, I could keep moving up in these spiritual dimensions. If I became judgmental of myself or my process, I shut the process down and could no longer move my awareness to the higher spiritual realms." John-Roger, DSS

​"In the world of the true self, there's no need
for such calculations. All we have to do is call
on divine nature authentically - honestly,
directly, forthrightly - by going within. The
kingdom of heaven is within. The Soul resides
within. Whether we call it prayer, meditation,
silence, stillness, communion, or spiritual
exercises, making contact with divine energy is
the way to tap in to authentic power.
When we tap in to authentic power, we do not then
need to become anything in the world. We just
become present with the true self. The true self
is joyful and loving. It needs nothing external
to be joyful about."

And the truth shall set you free.
