A Message From

Neale Donald Walsch

“On this day of your life, my friend, I believe God wants you to know …that creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.

Theodore Levitt said that, and he was right.Therefore, be not only a creator, but an innovator.
Put your new ideas into motion. Place them not just on paper, but on the ground.

Ah, yes, now you have done something.

Love, Your Friend….
Neale”

Dr. Susan Gregg

“Our filter system tends to think in terms of all or nothing. I really like the movie little Buddha especially the scene where he is sitting in the middle of the river talking to a water buffalo. He looks at the water buffalo, having just achieved enlightenment and says, “it’s the middle way, it is the middle way.”

Balance, finding that middle way is where we find peace. Finding that inner balance takes time, practice, gentleness and acceptance as well as self love.

With lots of love and aloha,
Susan”

Stories and myths of Creation from around the world often share a common thread. Most of them start with a division, a splitting of the original One into two complementary parts so that Creation could be achieved.

In ancient Egypt, more than 5,000 years ago, Creation was said to have occurred when the power of thought made light arise above the abyss. Here the two components before the creation of light were 1) thought, and 2) an already-created abyss of empty space.

In ancient Greece, the universe was said to have been a place without light until Eros (Love) arose, bringing light and order. Here we have intent and feeling bringing light into being.

In ancient Aztec culture an original ‘Lord’ and ‘Lady’ were said to have brought into existence all things. People throughout history have more easily understood the idea of father and mother figures behind Creation rather than the idea of original principles, or facets, of the one Creator. The Holy Trinity of Christianity includes both ideas – God the Father is the creative principle while the Holy Spirit is the love that permeates all space.

Hinduism, the origin of which pre-dates recorded history, recognizes an original or Absolute state as the one ultimate state of being behind all things. Then, from the Absolute, sprang forth the principles of Creation. These principles are portrayed as the personalities of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

Brahma symbolizes the aspect of the Absolute that brings forth the works of Creation. Vishnu represents the aspect that preserves and sustains the universe – an all-pervasive love, in other words. Shiva represents the aspect that brings motion into the universe, making possible the creation, and the decay, of objects in the physical world.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all share the same historic roots. In the Book of Genesis, it is said that Creation began when God created the heavens and the earth and then said, “Let there be light.” Notice that this initial act of Creation came before the creation of the stars and the creation of our Sun. Therefore, these initial instances of the words ‘heavens’ and ‘earth’ need to be taken metaphorically, not literally. The ‘earth’ was said to be formless and empty, like a pre-creational void, as the Spirit of God hovered over the ‘waters’ of the formless deep. So, here we have:

1) The intent of God the Creator, hovering over:

2) The formless deep of a universe-to-be. This ‘formless deep’ referred to the universe, not to the Earth, because the stars (and therefore the Earth) had not yet been formed. Then, later, all possibilities began with:

3) “Let there be light.” This is where motion was applied in order to activate the hollow shell of the universe. This, then, made all of Creation possible, including the stars, the planets, their biospheres and all that they contain.

The common thread in all of the above stories of Creation is this: Intent and love together created a universe in the form of a void, an abyss. Intent and love were then set into motion in order to bring light and life into the void.

All of these stories of Creation are thousands of years old. Historically, they were told to people who believed that the Earth was all there was to the extent of the Creation. In general, they had not yet gained an appreciation that the stars in the sky were actually other suns in the remote distance.

Today, we have a much better appreciation of the vastness of Creation. We still do not know the exact size, or even the shape, of the universe but we do have a much better idea of the scale of it. As of July, 2003, astronomers announced that there are 70 sextillion stars in the visible universe. That’s 70 thousand million million million stars in just the visible part of the universe. The actual size of the cosmos is much larger than that.

It stands to reason that the Creator of all of this vastness is an entity much larger than that which was created. Infinite Being is a consciousness so huge that the entire universe is held within its awareness and focus, within its conscious embrace.

Infinite Being is all things, it is all potential. As a state of being, it fundamentally does not “do,” it just is. Infinite Being is the ultimate state of being. However, at some point, Infinite Being decided to ‘become,’ rather than just ‘be.’ It decided to manifest its potential, and then to act out every part of that potential.

In order to achieve this original Creation, Infinite Being divided its consciousness. In one direction, it focused intent. In another direction, it focused its love, or its feeling. Then, in a third direction it applied action, or motion, so that the two facets of itself – intent and feeling – could interact with each other as intertwined waves of consciousness in motion.

In this way, Infinite Being extended itself from just being, into a state of action. This extension of itself had become what we call the original Creator. The One Creator has three facets, a triad of intent, feeling and motion. The existence of motion in this creative triad makes the One Creator an action-oriented projection of the original, non-moving, all-potential state of Infinite Being.

And yet, nothing specific had been created up to this point. There was, however, the potential for everything to be created. For this, a stage needed to be set, upon which Infinite Being could express itself as an infinite variety of possibilities. In order to provide that stage, the universe was created.

First, the concept of space was intended within the consciousness of Infinite Being. Next, this hollow, original shell of a potential universe was filled with love. Then, life was ‘breathed’ into the void when motion was added to it.

With the setting of the universe into motion, the ‘light’ had come. It filled all of space with infinite pathways of potential primary energy and, later, the potential for matter and all that matter could become.

Today, we find ourselves living out the latest venture in the infinite experiences of existence. As facets of Infinite Being, we are each here to experience life as we see it from our individual, unique viewpoints.

You, as the soul within, are the observer of life. While you are busy with life in the physical world, it may seem difficult to connect with your spiritual aspect, your soul. But to do this means that you are connecting directly with the observer within and seeing the purpose in all aspects of your life. That is why the most rewarding part of the day is the time that you set aside for regular meditation. With inner support and guidance, your path through life becomes clear and filled with purpose.

If you haven’t already done so, make the time to practice meditation at the start of each day. A habit very soon becomes a routine, and this is one that very soon becomes the highlight of each day.

A Message From VERONICA

“Often as a child in the physical world one is asked ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’?

The answers vary from child to child as their years advance for each of those children. It is a typical question asked of various cultures, each one with its parameters & definitions.

We ask, however, how many of you ask of yourselves what you will be if your soul learns all of its proposed lessons and essentially grows up?

We realize there is a concept of soulful growth but it is often intertwined with a religious moment or a concept outdated by advancement not perceived by the linear self.

In the timeline the idea of goal changes as the child develops and considers new ideas & opportunities. What one ascribed to at age 8 usually aligns differently by the age of 18. At 28 all of those thoughts may be replaced by ones never considered by the teenager or the child.

Thus it is for the soul.

You are ever evolving. The idea of clinging to concepts out dated by your advancement seems ridiculous in print. However, there are a number of you who do so out of obligation and/or tradition.

As you feel yourself ‘growing up’ spiritually it is important to consider the progress of your soul and what is necessary to maintain it in the linear.

Releasing concepts no longer relevant to the soul is imperative. It is not perhaps turning away from god, but actually turning inward to the self & soul, the ultimate manifestation of god.”

A Message From

Neale Donald Walsch

“On this day of your life, my friend, I believe God wants you to know …that taking better care of yourself is not merely a matter of good health, it is a measure of spiritual evolution.

Some people take better care of their car than they do of their body. Most people, in fact, pay little attention
to their body until something goes wrong. Yet why create that kind of situation?

Look at what you are eating. How much and how often do you exercise? When was your last check-up? Are you treating your physical vehicle as if it is Divine? Good for you if you are. If you aren’t…why not?

Love, Your Friend….
Neale”

“I spent years searching for “The Truth.” Slowly I began to realize that there was no such thing as the truth, that the truth was relative.

What is true for me today may not be true tomorrow. At first I resisted the idea that there was no ultimate truth but once I embraced the idea I found a profound sense of peace. It became much easier for me to change my beliefs and let go of what I had once believed was the truth.

With lots of love and aloha,
Susan”

The universe is designed to be reflective. Whatever you put out comes back to you. This is called the Law of Action and Reaction, the Law of Karma, or is simply referred to using the phrase, “What goes around comes around.”

However, in spiritual work, there is a way to increase what comes around. What goes around can actually come back as more than you gave, and this involves a paradox.

In your spiritual practices, you can generate a deep feeling of peace and inspiration; one which brings a wonderful sense of spiritual upliftment. For example, in your meditations, you may become inspired with a vision of a future world filled with peace and freedom for all.

You may see, in your mind’s eye, a future world where everyone on the planet is safe, and where you can journey to anywhere on the planet with ease. In this future, you see that everyone is consciously aware of their heart’s connection to the hearts of each and every other human being on the planet. In this supportive environment, everyone has complete freedom to express their unique creativity as their contribution to a loving society.

As you breathe deeply of the clean, fresh air in that vision of the future, you feel your connection to the Mother Earth and to the life-giving Sun which shines ceaselessly upon our world. Then, you send your love and gratitude to the Earth and the Sun, and wait in quiet anticipation as those great, conscious beings send their love and inspiration to you in return.

While in that state of deep inspiration, it occurs to you that most of humanity desperately needs this type of upliftment; that most souls on this planet today are starving in a self-created, spiritual wilderness. This brings you to the realization that you have the opportunity to be of service to humanity through an act of self-sacrifice; through an act of giving up that which you have in order to help others who would not otherwise be helped.

While in this state, the sense of unconditional love that you have for humanity virtually begs you to help those who are not yet equipped to do this for themselves. If you now give that state, that energy, that feeling of inspiration away to the group consciousness of humanity, then you have created a vacuum within yourself.

By the law of action and reaction, that vacuum must be filled. However, an act of self-sacrifice in service to others has a side-effect: It raises the frequency of your consciousness higher than it was before. So, when the vacuum becomes filled with inspiration and upliftment from the universe, it is filled with an even higher frequency of consciousness than before.

Because of that, you will have become more inspired and more uplifted than ever before. By the act of sacrificing that which you had, you will actually gain more than you had before. Such is the paradox of love in action.

It is also the basis of the ancient path of Karma Yoga – the pathway to God through action and service.

By giving spiritual energy to humankind, you tread a pathway of spiritual action. This powerful pathway of giving what you have, in order to inspire others, is one that leads you to continually higher states of inspiration along your own spiritual path.
