Making Time

Henri Boulard

Never say that you have no time. On the whole it is those who are busiest who can make time for yet more, and those who have more leisure time who refuse to do something when asked. What we lack is not time, but heart.

I am aware of my judgments about others.

Denise Linn

Sometimes the shadow self is so well-camouflaged that it can take a profound effort to discover it. If you always see angry people all around you, your shadow self has suppressed anger. If everywhere you go, you are aware of sad people, then chances are that you are suppressing grief. Your shadow self will draw to you people who share the same shadow.

If I am unreasonably upset and offended by someone's whining/rudeness/selfishness/etc, it's because I am not embracing these qualities in myself. I need to look carefully within to see if I have exhibited these qualities in the past, am doing so now, or have the capacity to demonstrate them in the future. If, when I've acknowledged their existence within me, I accept these qualities, I won't be deeply offended by someone else who has them.

If you want to see the nature of your shadow, be aware of your judgments about others. If you observe something it is not a projection, but if you judge it, it is. If you observe someone throw litter out of their car but you don't react emotionally, it's an observation. If you get upset and think, “What a disgusting selfish pig!” then you are probably projecting. What you judge in others can be a reflection of qualities that you possess, but deny, within yourself.

The Bottom-Line Purpose

Neale Donald Walsch

Evolution is the bottom-line purpose of everything. And there is no faster way to evolve than through the process of your exterior relationship with another.

Holy relationship is where your interior meets the exterior of another, and where the interior of another meets your exterior, and where, in the best of moments, the exteriors of both are melted by the heat of both interiors, allowing those interiors to meet and awaken to the awareness that they are Identical and One, and to experience that.

This is the expression in the world that you call Love.

Vibrational Attitude

Abraham Hicks

The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more Well-being flows to you—and you get to choose the details of how it flows.

My Symphony

William Ellery Channing

To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never;
to let the spiritual, unbidden, and unconscious grow up through the common—
this is to be my symphony.
