"Isness"

All through your life, you have been getting prepared.

Each and every experience is building up an arsenal to help you do what you came here to do.

Why did this or that happen?

Why didn’t something else happen?

All to prepare you.

Now, stop reacting and listen within.

When you turn away from the outside happenings and your feelings about them, what is left?

Something quieter.

Something very still.

In that deep calm, there something simply is.

And that’s it.

That is the thing you came here to do.

It may become an action.

It may become a product.

It may become a service.

It may become a relationship.

But those are the effects of something that is.

Find that moment of “isness”.

That is it.

That is all.

How Will You Lead?

Will you accept what is coming at you from all directions?

Or will you find your own preferred direction?

Will you use your valuable time to react?

Or will you step back and direct yourself to your harmonious purpose?

Will you add your energy to destruction?

Or will you guard and nurture it to be unselfish and productive?

Will you let others set your agenda?

Or will you remain faithful to your guidance from within?

This is a tough choice when we are surrounded by even closer violence.

But, why are you here?

Do you really have any power over these things?

Yes!  Absolutely!

Go within.

Find your deep self.

Find that power.

And let the power of peace within spread and diffuse itself throughout your thought, 

throughout your body, 

throughout your action, 

throughout your attitude toward others, right within your neighborhood.

Practice peace.

Practice peace and appreciation from within.

Then let that practice expand.

As we all do this, we will run into more and more of this practice.

This is a practice that can embrace everyone.

We all, even individually, have unlimited resources with which to spread this practice.

It makes everyone feel good.

It attracts solutions.

No one is left out of this practice.

Lead from within.
