NEW BEGINNINGS
Topic: LOVE
Beginning with Me


Actually the logical place to begin anything is with me, since I have no control over You. But somehow I frequently seem to want to begin with You, if You would only understand, see it my way, allow me to manipulate the situation, I would be a benevolent God as we did things My way.
Of course there is an alternative. I could wait for You to make things happen. If they don't or Your efforts fail, its Your fault-- don't look at me.

The truth is:
If I want a gentler world, I need to be gentler;
If I want to be accepted, I need to be accepting;
If I want space, I need to give space;
If I want to be loved unconditionally, I need to love unconditionally;
If I want peace; I need to be at peace;
If I want people to be happy; I need to be happy.
If I want a nicer world, I need to be nice not just when its easy but when its not easy.
For in the end although surrounded by all of You, what I see and feel about You- about life- is inextricably bound to who I am.
So today I begin with me- and let You be.
May we grow together in
Love and Light

The wise see the Lord of Love in the sun,Rising in all its golden radianceTo give its warmth and light and life to all.-Prashna Upanishad



1. i do not believe in any religion as supreme because i do not believe in any single way to the Light;
2. i am not even sure i believe in religion with all of its fear driven words and dogmas;
3. i believe that we are all part of God and our challenge is to remember that fact;
4. i believe that love should guide our choices, our reactions and our acts;
5. i believe that when we forget about "love" we bring chaos and pain into our lives;
6. i believe that we are always connected to God, use whatever word You like for that concept, even when we are in chaos; we have just forgotten our connection;
7. i believe that LOVE is our nature, not chaos;
8. i believe that we are travelers here together providing each other chances to grow in love with each of us sometimes being the antagonist in order to allow someone else to grow;
9. i believe that at some level we are all connected to one another; and
10. i believe when we recognize our connection to one another we soften our eyes to all.


Today imagine that you can see the angels walking beside everyone you meet. See how your perception of people, and of life, changes when you recognize that everyone has an angel!
- Margaret Neylon


That's what i believe. What about You?

Peace, Love and Light
