You Are Created and Creator
Nov 13th
Somehow, deep within your being this assertion rings true. You and I, and all that exist in this reality of forms, are creations. Creation originates from, is of — the source, the whole. We come from, are of, are, the whole. We have an unbreakable connection to and are one with the divine. Therefore though we accept the limitations of existence in this reality, know we are created from and remain one with, the source.
Though you are created in the flesh, realize you are just as much fully creator in spirit.
As created, you react to what you observe, immersed in the game. On the field, you attempt to turn the momentum of an opponent and stem the tide of an overwhelming advance. Through the self you attempt to seize control of your destiny in the game, but the limited, misinformed self does not grasp the truth: you have not been relegated the role of puppet or pawn – you can choose to control your destiny, be captain of your soul, master of your fate.
While most tolerate the discomfort of a life beyond their control, or attempt to address the discontent inherent in the struggle on the field, realize another option – a far greater option – exists. You are created and contribute to creation.
Recognize and embrace your true nature as both created and creator. As creator come to understand you are a player on the field with the ability to manipulate the game. You can influence circumstances not so much through what you do on the field but through what you intend, desire, focus on. You move the flesh, you manipulate reality, through the spirit.
As creator, you have the absolute ability to alter your perspective from the front line to the side line and change the outcome, the very nature and circumstance of the game.
You can, with surety, assume the role of creator and generate a new experience in this life. Each human being has access to the same divine well-spring, but very few avail themselves of the opportunity to use it.
While experiencing this reality of polar opposites seize upon the truth. You are in this world but not of this world. You do not have to succumb to the will and fear of the ego. Your nature is divine.
While in this reality you have the capacity to create. You are creator. And as creator you can choose how to navigate this illusion. You have a choice.
Choose to create a life of beauty, of harmony, of love. The world will be a better place for you and for all of us because of your choice.

The Key to Failure
Oct 14th
I was listening to Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret earlier today and I was really blown away by a comment that he made at the beginning of the book that I had never really noticed before. As he was describing the “Secret” of success he called it “The key to success and also the key to failure.” It took me a moment to really let that sink in. The fact that we become what we think about is both the greatest blessing and potentially the greatest curse all of us could ever have.
It’s so easy to focus on the negative and fall into the trap that life is hard, our hardships are worse than anyone else’s, and we can lose track of the light at the end of our tunnel. I know I have been through this many times in my life and no matter how hard you try the temptation to fall back into these thought patterns will always be there. That’s why it is so important to know and remember that we become what we think about. Repeat that over and over, realize it and accept it, but remember it’s a good thing.
I say this because this means that the power lies within us to change our circumstances and change the course of our lives. We have this awesome power and great power means great responsibility. It’s our responsibility to make sure that we use this ability to maximize the potential and opportunity in our lives. “If you think you can do a thing or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” – Henry Ford. The world is filled with a limitless bounty ripe for the picking or it isn’t, the answer lies in our own head. Our mindset is the factor that makes that distinction, thoughts become things, keep that in mind.
