Service through Intention

You may feel protective or empathetic toward others today. Perhaps you are becoming aware of ways that you can be of service to friends, loved ones, or strangers. You may be interested in extending your hand to an individual or a group in the spirit of compassion. If so, think about ways you can give of yourself or your resources. You are a strong and capable human being with a lot to offer others. Try to honor any desire you may have to help others, as your help will be much appreciated. The key is knowing that what you have to give has value and is a contribution that can impact the lives of others.

One way to be of service is to offer strength and comfort to those in need. Showing others compassion, generosity, and love can provide them with the power they need to get through life's difficulties. Our strength can support others so that they can grow strong. They will then feel supported, cared for, and better equipped to move through distress. Your intention can be as powerful as your actions. Sometimes just letting other people know you are there for them can bolster their spirits and help them deal with their cares. Come to the aid of others today, and you will satisfy your desire to be a caring and protective force in their lives.

Surrendering the Ego
Dark Night Of The Soul

The dark night of the soul invites us to fully recognize the confines of our ego's identity.

Whenever a word is overused, it is most likely being misused, and over time, it begins to lose its meaningfulness. For example, we often refer to a fleeting feeling of depression or a period of confusion, as a dark night of the soul, but neither of these things qualifies as such. A dark night of the soul is a very specific experience that some people encounter on their spiritual journeys. There are people who never encounter a dark night of the soul, but others must endure this as part of the process of breaking through to the dawn of higher consciousness.

The dark night of the soul invites us to fully recognize the confines of our ego's identity. We may feel as if we are trapped in a prison that affords us no access to light or the outside. We are coming from a place of higher knowing, and we may have spent a lot of time and energy reaching toward the light of higher consciousness. This is why the dark night has such a quality of despair: We are suddenly shut off from what we thought we had realized and the emotional pain is very real. We may even begin to feel that it was all an illusion and that we are lost forever in this darkness. The more we struggle, the darker things get, until finally we surrender to our not knowing what to do, how to think, where to turn. It is from this place of losing our sense of ourselves as in control that the ego begins to crack or soften and the possibility of light entering becomes real.

Some of us will have to endure this process only once in our lives, while others may have to go through it many times. The great revelation of the dark night is the releasing of our old, false identity. We finally give up believing in this false self and thus become capable of owning and embracing the light.

Re: We Need To Talk About Hate

Its not possible to like or care for everyone. Hate is just a tool. It is not wrong nor evil. Its actions that are wrong or evil. I hate those that harm others for the fun of it or to make their egos feel better, would harming them be evil or wrong?
if you try to like or care for everything or everyone in this world its like watering down the most delicious drink in the universe just to share it with everyone. You lose the drink.


I will be bitchy, cranky, sweet, happy, kind, pain in the ass all at random times from now on. I am embracing my mentalpause until further notice. Viva lack of total control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not a test,,, this is my life right now. Have a good day and please buckle up for safety reasons,, All those in high chairs, go in the back of the room.

The Kaleidoscope of Life
Living Together Differently

Life has its way of bringing us into contact with people who challenge us with their differences.

We tend to gravitate toward people who are the most like us, at least in the ways that make us feel comfortable. But life has its way of bringing us into contact with people who challenge us with their differences. It may be an obvious difference reflected in their outward appearance or an invisible but powerful philosophical stance, but even in our closest circle of friends and family, there are those that confront us with their different ways of experiencing and expressing life. We can choose to resist , but we can also choose to learn from them and appreciate that they too have a place in the kaleidoscope of life.

As much as we may say that we want peace and quiet and a life without struggle, the truth is that human beings are, at this time, thriving in a world of dualities and challenges. It is how we choose to approach these hurdles that determine if we sail over them, confirming our agility, or trip and end up face down in the dust. And each of us absolutely will and must stumble, and then get up, brush the dust off and carry on. This is how we learn and grow, developing depth of character and shades of understanding. In a world of dualities, we have trouble defining ourselves without something opposite, and can't discover who we are. Without challenge, there is nothing to do and nothing to discover. That leaves us either in a state of non-being or the state of pure spirit, but as humans, we are spiritual beings experiencing the physical world in all of its startling contrast and beauty.

No matter how spiritual we are, our lives will have challenges. We will always run into people that are different that we are, but the true challenge may be in finding ways to be at peace with this process. Rather than give in to the fight or flight response that comes from our animal nature, we can find new ways to evolve together into higher more beautiful expressions of ourselves, realizing, embracing and celebrating the beauty of diversity and the strength it offers for the future.
