I love that we are all God and Godself and that ultimatley me and myself do notnexist. It seems that we are always being asked to let go, surrender, forgive,nrelease, relinquish etc and due to the general fear based ego outlook on life,ngiving and surrendering is the most difficult thing to do. Also, forgiving isneven more difficult as we perceive that someone has wronged us. Letting go onnevery level seems to be the way forward...

If we are all god and god is all there is then logically we are only giving tonourselves. We are god giving to god. We are offered every opportunity to give to
God - to let go of the illusion of control that we think we have and surrende
our identity, ego associated achievements to god in exchange for everything wencould ever want or need. Why can we not let go of the ego based hell we havencreated to receive heaven in return? We can only ever receive whether we are thenperceived giver or not. When I care for God, God cares for me. It's reciprocalnand not personal...

It seems that 'we' have got so attached to being special and appreciated for ournuniqueness that it has become our identity. Obviously nothing to do withnreality. All we ever know is based on what we can understand and the beliefs wenhave taken to be true - that are ultimatley only our own thoughts! Crazily wenwill defend that thought to the death - there is a lot of evidence of this innthe world today... What has anyone ever achieved that is comparable to anythingnthat God can do?

It's like, as expressions/extensions of God we get the opportunity to experiencenwhat we are not in order to realise what we are. Thankfully it gets better thannthis - there is light at the end of the tunnel. We get to wake up from thisnhuman experience. What great news!

This is Gods 'game' and 'he' knows the rules and truth. Maybe if we let 'him'ntake control and listen to 'his' guidance things would be better :) God isnalways self supporting of God - 'he' would never be or could never be selfndestructive. That doesn't make sense...

It may seem like we have so much to do and life is tough if it is believed thatnit is down to you, however when you stop trying and start 'being' and allowing
God to guide then it is so much easier. Things are only tough when it'snperceived as something that YOU must do. Give to God then God gives back to younin the same spirit that it was given. Life is perfect...

Then again, I may not be the best judge of reality. As an observer I create andnsee what I want too....

Unfortunately, I hear it often from clients and random conversations with friends and other people that they want to consider a person to be clueless or even stupid because that person did not understand them hinting about an issue. Many people do hint and actually think that people that they are hinting to should be a

I have a rule in my life. If something happens twice, pay attention to it. This type of awareness has allowed me to to stay present in my life without being overwhelmed.

One of the common spiritual comments made quite often is that everything happens for a reason. I know that people say it to feel better and to not feel like a victim. During my years of being a spiritual life coach and listening to many clients stories, I started to realize that everything that happens does not have

I hear it all the time from women. Yes it is a girl thing. They just know that the man that they are with is their soul mate. Just about every society is based on marriage and having someone special spend our lives with. We make people feel bad when they are single. It causes so many women to try really hard to find th
