Freedom from Fear
The new councilman (we’ll call him John) strutted around City Hall, ordered the janitor and cleaning lady to work faster, and shouted down anyone who dared to express an opinion different from his own. Rumors circulated that he abused his wife. Some people said that she had been hospitalized. I ...

Listen to Your Anger and Use It Effectively
I get tired of New Age gurus preaching that I shouldn’t be angry. The fact is, sometimes I am angry. I am angry when people I trust betray me. I am angry when people make promises they don’t keep. I am angry when people treat me with disrespect. Anger was not considered a “nice” emotion in my birth family. My mother rarely expressed it. Neither did my father. There were exceptions.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. Janet Smith Warfield
Stay in the present moment. The present is your point of personal power. It is the only moment when you can choose and act.
Live in a spiritual house of many rooms: a room of emotion, a room of rationality, and a room of practicality, all connected with big sliding glass doors. Move from room to room so you can look at "what is" from different human perspectives.
Tap into the energy within. Empty your mind, body and spirit of all human-created form. Allow true Peace, Power and Prosperity to enter.
Welcome paradox. What logically appears inconsistent is perfectly congruent when understood at a soul level.
Notice your feelings. Just notice them, feel them, and own them as yours. Don't judge them. Just let them be.
Respect your feelings as trusted messengers. If you're feeling fear, anger, guilt, or frustration, perhaps your emotions are telling you there is something in your life you need to change.
Release your fear. Fear is the result of your mind focusing on something in the future that will probably never happen. Gently bring your mind back to the present moment - a moment that is always manageable.
Be aware that there are energies that will support your creative spirit and energies that will drain it. Surround yourself with supportive energies. Protect yourself from negative energies.
Understand that hate and love are Siamese twins. You can't hate war without loving peace. Focus on what you love.
Release guilt and blame. They are cobwebs from the past. You can't change what happened. You can only learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
Make amends to the people you've hurt if you can. No one knows how long either of you will live. Today could be your last chance.
Be wary of words. Words are illusions dancing at a masked ball. Allow kind words to lift you up. Ignore unkind words. Unkind words say more about the speaker than they do about you.
Be grateful for views that clash with your own. They help you think more clearly.
Be skeptical. Give yourself permission to question authority.
Stop arguing about what is real and true. Start working with others to develop solutions.
Know that thought, words, and conceptual mind can neither penetrate nor describe a sacred space. Words twist, distort, and separate that which is whole. Protect the sacred space of your creative spirit with silence.
Give yourself permission to make mistakes. Mistakes are great things. They teach us what not to do the next time.
Welcome a consciousness with no boundaries. How can you hate or be angry when you are soaring like an eagle?
Seek clarity. If you don't understand something, ask the right people the right questions. You don't need to be told what to do. You need to get clearer on the options open to you.
Beware of arrogant little egos masquerading as authority. Be careful from whom you take direction. Always trust yourself first and others second.
Heal yourself first. Only then will you know how to heal the wounds of others.
Allow yourself to be sculpted by the universal creative energy that sculpts us all. You can resist this energy if you choose, but it will sculpt you one way or another, with painful lessons or easy ones - your choice. You are created in its image. Your purpose on earth is to create. You can choose to block the flow or allow it to work through you. Only when you allow it to work through you can you fully create and fulfill your purpose on earth.
What are you willing to die for? Whatever you're willing to die for is what you must live for.

What we see.
The words we apply to what we see.
