At every moment, I am always moving towards something. Even in the stillness of meditation, I am moving closer to my inner being. Nothing stands still; a seeming rut is pure repetition. We all naturally gravitate towards whatever has our attention. I always veer in the direction of my focus. There’s no need to stress or fret.

Affirmation 12/23/07 :: Commonalities of Spiritual Paths

Our Oneness is a soul connection transcendent of kinship or commonalities. Although exquisitely unique in our variety, we are fashioned from the same substance. First and foremost we are Pure Spirit, created with equal value and purpose. Notions of superiority and inferiority stroke the ego but do not serve humankind.

Differences among us do not frighten us. We embody spiritual Oneness and appreciate individualized expressions.

We let the cuts be for gladness. The diamonds that shine the brightest are the ones with the most facets. We appreciate each other’s multi-faceted expressions. Each of us is a special and unique gift to the world. Even in our uniqueness, we are all mirrors of each other. Each of us exists as a re-presentation of the One. Our sense of interconnectedness makes us compassionate and whole.

God is, I am, and all is well.

Divine Order is beyond anything that I can create or even imagine. Everything fits together somewhere. The Universe is perfectly ordered and does not need my micro-management. Life’s processes do not need my assistance. Perfect patterns exist that transcend all circumstances and conditions. Right activity is always unfolding. The facts do not cloud my spiritual judgment or eclipse my spiritual eyesight. I pierce through all appearances and illusions and see the handiwork of God. I am comforted in knowing that I don’t have to know it all. As I surrender my need to control, I trust with an ever-increasing faith.

Affirmation 11/4/07 :: Spiritual Surrender is an On-going Process

This day I declare my deepest intent to be spiritually surrendered. The ego’s puffed up self-importance deflates into proper perspective. Surrender is a process, not a destination. Surrender is release, not defeat. I surrender because there is no fight. The Kingdom of God is at hand; my Good is ever present. There is nothing to prove and no one to prove it to. Regardless of worldly conditions, the Universe has no desire to hurt or harm me. My best defense is love as an offense. Loving kindness keeps me centered and standing in my spiritual power. Daily surrender empowers me.

Circulating resources, I make it easier for everyone to experience God’s Grace.

Affirmation 10/21/07 :: Grace Cannot Be Earned

Grace is God’s provision for me just because I exist. I cannot earn God’s Grace; it is not a perk or a reward. Open and available, I live in pure expectancy beyond particular expectations. Worry finds no resting place in me for I remember that God supplies every need. God’s plans are perfect, whole, and complete. I relax knowing that all things are working together for Good. Trusting in Divine Order, I stand in the awareness that God’s Grace is sufficient. As I release the need to control, I allow things to unfold in ways better than I could conceive.

Affirmation 10/14/07 :: Considering Grace That I Have Known

Grace has shown up in my life in ways too numerous to either name or count. I boldly claim my divine inheritance and refrain from characterizing it as luck. Inexplicable Goodness has crossed my path in ways both great and small. The simple miracles are no less wondrous than the magnificent. I consider the times when my needs have been most mysteriously met. I acknowledge the seasons when my coffers were fuller than anticipated. I bless doors that open before I knock. I bless supply that manifests before I ask. Continuous gratitude keeps my moments of Grace fresh before me.

Affirmation 10/7/07 :: Finding Rest In God's Grace

I am always surrounded by the grace of God. Divine love and provisions are eternally available to me unconditionally. This grace is abundantly given not by merit, but because of who I am. There is nothing that I can do or not do that will prevent me from receiving this wonderful gift of grace.

Appreciating life’s mysteries, I dare to look through the appearances. Whatever I claim to already know is not the all that can be known. There is always another layer of revelation awaiting conscious recognition. I am open and receptive to stretching beyond what I have accepted as the total truth.

Affirmation 9/16/07 :: From Cross-Purposes to Alignment

I choose to be in alignment with my spiritual values. I willingly adjust my behavior to reflect the Truth that I know. Being just is more important than being right.

I let God’s light illuminate the darkest corners of consciousness.

Affirmation 9/9/07 :: More Than Eyes Can See

My inner knower knows more than what I have learned. There is a wisdom inside of me that I develop. I am aware of things beyond my experience. I can pierce through appearances and see the perfect patterns lying underneath. The Universe never keeps secrets from itself. Anything that can be known is available to be known right where I am. Because my mind’s eye is single, my whole body is full of light. My focus on Truth and Divine Order is consistent and unwavering. I have the capacity to affirm and step out on what my mind’s eye perceives.

I am one with That within me that Knows. I trust my own Inner Awareness. Seeing through the appearances with my single eye of spiritual discernment; I dare to live in Oneness. I continually walk in the direction of my Sacred Yes. Common sense supports me as far as it can; then uncommon sense opens me to Sacred Wisdom. The peace that passes all understanding permeates my daily awareness. As a spiritual revolutionary, I understand news reports are prayer requests; so I forgive everything and everybody, including myself. There are at least two sides to every story; and then there’s the Truth.

Romans 12:2

Through daily devotion I remain connected to my inner wisdom. No longer tied to the things of this world, I know who I really am. I have no desire to conform to anything that doesn’t serve my spiritual magnificence. I do more than reform, I completely transform. My radiance is too much to behold with the naked eye.

My beliefs go before me and blaze my path. What I believe in arrives before I do greeting me at the door. I meet my trust along the way. Trust informs my vision, guides my decisions. Trust chooses the baggage that I carry as I journey forward. Trust carefully selects what I pack to make certain that it is with me always. Trust determines my traveling companions and creates our itinerary. Trust puts a reservation on where I will rest and where I will go to feed my soul. Seek and I will find; trust tells me where to look.

Affirmation 4/16/06 :: In God's Own Time, My Change Will Come

"Rushing to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe." Lao Tsu

The caterpillar within me lays down its life so that my butterfly may be born. My transformation is a metamorphosis; the old must die to the new. My rebirth has its own gestation period; I cannot hurry its process. The timing of resurrection is neither predictable nor controllable. I have the patience and fortitude to graciously await my own unfoldment. No longer in limbo, I embrace the moment where I am. I cleanse my life’s lenses and see goodness that I was missing before. Drama is optional. I willingly enter my chrysalis and trust in the process of Divine Timing.

Affirmation 4/9/06 :: What, Whom, When Do I Trust, and Why?

"The Lord is the strength of my life. In whom and what shall I fear?" The shifting sand of the temporal neither tempts nor persuades me. I am free from the illusion of safety in people, places, and things. Things rise and they go; I watch them pass with quiet fortitude. My trust in God is unshakeable. My trust is not a faucet that I turn off and on. My trust is not reserved for the crisis d'jour. I put all of my trust in the Absolute that forever remains the same. To me trusting is as natural as breathing.

Affirmation 4/2/06 :: The Trust Faith Connection

Trust and faith are inseparable twins. Faith is trust in action; trust is faith revealed. I deepen my faith through the cultivation of my trust. I renew my trust by stepping out on my faith. Every time I act in accordance with my faith, I grow in my conviction of it. I am mindful of what I have faith in. I no longer put my faith in the false, fallible, or fruitless. I choose to trust only that which is in alignment with the Divine. I am persuaded by the vision of my third eye that only perceives the Truth.

March 2006 :: TRUTH

Affirmation 3/26/06 :: The Truth Shall Set You Free

Truth is illuminating; it dissipates confusion. Truth is liberating; it sets new causations into motion. There is no Truth that I am unwilling to know. I would rather be sad in the Truth than happy in a lie. I yield my perceptions, rename my experiences, and relinquish my expectations. Even if it reorders my reality, I’d rather rise to the Truth, than wallow in my comfort. Clinging to the familiar defies divine unfoldment. I cannot know everything from my vantage point. I am excited about new possibilities and paradigms. “Ye shall know the Truth and it shall set you free.”

In the face of every obstacle I know that God is the Waymaker. I seek always to see with the eyes of Truth, hear with the ears of Truth, speak with the tongue of Truth, and love with the heart of Truth. Through this commitment I am part of the world's transformation.

Affirmation 3/12/06 :: Transcending Facts for the Truth

Facts always change; Truth remains the same. Behind every fact is a deeper Truth waiting to be discerned. Truth cannot hide; it can only be overlooked. I judge not by the appearances. I am willing to see beyond my experiences. I am greater than facts. I loosen my grip on fear and relax all anxieties. I remind myself daily of Life’s Goodness. I am a faithful witness to the ever present unfolding of a Divine Reality. Every obstacle is an opportunity to grow deeper in my faith. Living in the not know is a mystical adventure of the Most High.

Affirmation 3/5/06 :: Truth is Equally Available to All

Truth is eternal and everlasting. Truth is not a secret reserved for a privileged few. Truth is everywhere present and equally available to all. Truth just awaits our conscious recognition. Wherever any of it is, all of it is. I never mistake formlessness for absence. No respecter of persons, Truth cannot be patented or owned. Truth cannot be limited and does not choose to compartmentalize itself. Truth is inclusive and embraces all. Experiential truth and Divine Truth are neither in competition nor contradiction. They just are not equal. I always yield my smaller personal truth to the Higher Spiritual Truth.

"Nothing is as soft and yielding as water, yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it."

My love is as fluid as water. It simply rolls over and caresses all obstacles. My love seeps into every available crack and crevice. It flows being purified by its own ebbs and tides. I am the face of compassion, the voice of compassion. I am the hands and the eyes of compassion. Nothing deters me. The force of my love simply breaks through any barriers as it swells inside. Even as my compassion devastates the landscape of the familiar, it creates the space for new birth. "There is a river of joy that flows through the people of God."

Unity is my identity. Love is a power of the mind. Love is the unifying force in the Universe that redeems the pieces back into their whole. With love there is no disdain, divisiveness, or distancing. Love heals all wounds and ends the sense of separation. To disconnect from you is to disconnect from God and myself. Nothing is worth disconnecting myself. I choose to love, to feel united regardless of circumstance or condition. As we love each other, the wrongs are righted and new beginnings burgeon. There is no greater gift than love.

Laws of sufficiency now govern, proclaiming “Our Good is at hand!” Universal wealth is evenly distributed in every place no matter how small. I make certain that it is accessible and equally available to all.

Affirmation 5/1/05 :: Provision Begins With Grace

I rest assured in the awareness that God is the one and only Source. I live in showers of blessings. I deserve life, health, and happiness simply because I am. I cannot earn the goodness that is mine by birth. Any attempts to limit my Good fail, for Truth reigns supreme. Prosperity is my nature. My spiritual wealth is beyond measure. Material possessions say nothing of my value. Grace is God’s provision for us, just because. I am alive today through the Grace of God, not through my own might. I humbly accept and bless all that passes my way.
