We go within the temple of the body-mind to meet the voice of truth, the soul self that is our finest teacher and most loving friend.
In this calm, peaceful silence are our dreams of life and the means of making them come true. Step by step in this adventure in consciousness, we master our emotions, illuminate our minds, heal our bodies and evolve into the self-actualized beings that we wish to be.
It is a journey walked alone, in the silence and its attunement to the divine within us and all things.
Even in the darkest moments of our lives
this inner light guides us, like a lantern,
onto a path leading up the mountain of
wisdom and higher consciousness.
The climb up the mountain path may be rugged
but with each step our perceptions widen and we see
the beauty and truth in us and in all that is.
While exploring this higher road, allow your body and mind to relax into these words and images and we will take a brief journey.
Remember a time of great happiness, peace and joy in your life. Now hold these memories and feelings in mind for just a few moments. Notice how your heart opens and your body relaxes.
If we choose to do so, we can live in this consciousness more of the time and take a higher road through our lives, one that begins with inner peace and leads to joy and perfect freedom. We can step onto the path of peace in meditation or in nature enjoying beauty or doing what we love to do.
When we are filled with calm and comfort, we can respond to the world with a centeredness and balance that is our natural, core state. Having found it, we can return to it no matter what occurs in our lives.
In this peacefulness exists our ability to access a higher wisdom that is available to each of us. With the benefit of this guidance, which many call spiritual and others call higher mind, we make wise choices based on our personal and collective good. We become more aware and seek out what is best for us and others.
Becoming more aware and seeking our highest good draws us into attunement with our inborn desire for wholeness. We begin to seek more elegant ways to express and live our lives. When we are ready to do so, we walk away from addictions which seem to ease our gnawing emptiness and sustain us temporarily, but never fill us up or allow us to stand on our own.
We go within the temple of the body-mind to meet the voice of truth – the deeper, core self that is our finest teacher and most loving friend.
In this calm, peaceful silence are our dreams of life and the means of making them come true. Step by step in this adventure in consciousness, we master our emotions, illuminate our minds, heal our bodies and evolve into the self-actualized beings that we wish to be.
It is a journey walked alone, in silent attunement to the loving spirit within us and all things.
From the higher road, we see a broader world view. In this lies understanding, acceptance and tolerance of the slow, gradual evolution of human consciousness. With faith in life's ultimate goodness, we surrender to the greater good and abandon our fruitless attempts to control the people and events in our lives. We turn inward and master ourselves. The outer world changes accordingly.

Right away and over time, radiant light fills our lives and we begin to blossom. Our gifts and talents converge and our unique paths of destiny spin themselves out before us. We are home in a joyful world of our own making. It is created by and through love, the fabric of the universe.
In this new millennium, quantum physics is proving what mystics and prophets have always known to be true: that there is a Creative Force in this universe which, out of love, enables us to freely express our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitudes in any way we see fit.
Our thoughts, as deeds, become "crimes or miracles," as Edgar Cayce, the great psychic and holistic healer, explained nearly a century ago. It is up to us to choose the low road or the high road. We make conscious choices, knowing that deep, lasting lessons come out of personal choice and our experiential paths of discovery, and not fear or coercion by external forces.
In this new age of enlightenment, ancient myths and superstition are losing power and disappearing into the pages of history.

We are beginning to see that there is only one Creative Force, and it doesn't matter whether we call this force Universal Mind, Allah, God, Jehovah, Spirit or the Quantum Field of Consciousness. What matters is that we argue no more about its name and its nature and leave each other free to discover this benevolent Force in whatever time and way each of us wishes to do so.
Spirit does not judge us, nor is it to be feared. It is the law of love, healing and growth that we see in nature, the smile of a little child, the movement of time in the celestial night that precedes the dawn of awakening. We see all of these things and much more on the higher road.
Let us walk this path with joy and expectation, knowing that each step brings us into sharper clarity of mind and the open-heartedness of unconditional love: compassion, patience, tolerance, understanding and forgiveness, so that all may be purified and move closer to the Source, which is radiant perfection. |
