Thirty years of spiritual practice has given me the realization that emotions are based on our perceptions, whether or not they are based on reality.

Creation is always happening. Every time and individual has a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they're in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.

Gratitude places you in the energy field of plentitude. Glow with gratitude and see how awe and joy will make their home in you.

Going back to my mother's passing, there was no way I could hold back my tears or sense of grief at knowing her physical presence left the planet. Working consciously with such an in-my-face overwhelmingly painful loss, I was able to process it to the point of accepting that although my relationship with her would be different, I could still sense and celebrate that there was no separation between our spirits. Being present and open to each stage of grief eventually led to her visiting me in my dreams and a tangible sense of her presence.

There are so many levels of understanding and experience when it comes to this thing we call love. In our human relationships, it can be vastly complicated. Each of us has our own unique love-history, perceptions, and expectations.

When you make the U-turn to the Universal Presence and apply the Universal practices and principles, your life is changed.

Fall forward, in your failing, and rise up with a soul on fire!
