DON'T KEEP GIVING THE FINGER TO YOUR SOUL

CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE WHO...

MAKE THE VISION REAL

Make The Vision Real

Are the things you’re doing today moving you in the direction you intend to go? Are your actions drawing you closer to the fulfillment of your dreams?

If so, be thankful for the choices you’ve made, and add the extra energy of that gratitude to the efforts you’re already making. If not, stop whatever you’re doing and turn yourself instead, right now, in the direction you wish to go.

Look honestly at where your current actions are taking you. Make sure it is where you want to go.

Vision is crucial, yet fulfillment is more than just having a vision. Fulfillment means working that vision into reality, day after day, task after task, without fail, without letting up.

The life you desire can be yours, but it won’t just come to you. That’s because the value of that life is not in having it, but in creating it.

Right now is when you make it happen. Right now is when you make the vision real.

— Ralph Marston

THOSE WHO TEAR DOWN OTHERS

FACILITATING HEALING

Facilitating Healing

You cannot help people heal
unless you are feeling love in your heart.

Then what you say and do will flow through your love,
not through your fear,
and you will inspire, encourage and uplift.

Remember, you are here to empower others,
not to fix them or to take responsibility for their pain.

So don’t force your gift on others.
Give to those who ask for your help
and are ready to receive it.
Then, you will not trespass on them
or exhaust your own energies.

DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME CAUSTIC

MORALITY AND SEX

Morality and Sex

There are only two kinds of sex that create suffering:
non-consensual sex (rape or sex with a minor)
and sex without love.

Non-consensual sex is and should be a felony.
Sex without love is unsatisfactory and addictive.

More will always be needed.
More sex, more partners, more stimulation.
But more is never enough.

When you engage in non-consensual sex
or sex without love,
you dishonor yourself and the other person.

This is true even if the person is your spouse.
These types of discordant sexual activity
fragment the energy of your union,
destroy trust and exacerbate emotional wounds.

A NEW RELATIONSHIP PARADIGM

A New Relationship Paradigm

 The only way to avoid co-dependent relationships
 is to befriend and honor the Self. 

Then you can build the relationship 
on the truth of self-coherence. 

This is the new paradigm of relationship. 

In the old relationship paradigm, 
the commitment to self is vitiated 
by the commitment to other. 

In seeking to please the other, self is abandoned. 
Since the abandoned self is incapable of love, 
this creates a vicious cycle of attraction and rejection. 

All genuine relationship must be built on the foundation 
of our acceptance and love for ourselves.

 That is the primary spiritual gesture, 
the one that opens the door to real intimacy.
