Art begs you to notice it. Why? Because art is God's way of saying hello. So pay attention to poetry. Pay attention to music. Pay attention to paintings and sculptures and photo exhibits and ballets and plays. Don't let all this go unnoticed.
Your world is shouting out to you, revealing something intrinsically glorious about itself. Listen carefully. Love art, the way art loves Life.
Neale Donald Walsh

So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear - all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways. The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made - or fail to make. (Not to decide is to decide.) Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. I will not leave you, I cannot leave you, for you are My creation and My product, My daughter and My son. My purpose and My... Self. Call on me, therefore wherever and whenever you are separate from the peace that I am I will be there. With Truth. And Light. And Love

One day a Mommy came into a kitchen to find her little girl at the table, crayons everywhere deeply concentrating on a free hand picture she was drawing. "My what are you so busy drawing?" the Mommy asked. "It's a picture of God." the girl replied eyes shinning. "Oh honey that's so sweet." the Mommy said trying to be helpful "But no one really knows what God looks like." "Well" chirped the little girl, "if you just let me finish...
"We each know God differently we each come to know Them on our own terms, others need to let us finish...

Christian concepts of heaven and hell come from Egyptian cosmology. A punishment thieves and traitors received from Pharaoh was to be put at a certain section of the Nile Delta in which a swamp had formed. There were saurian creatures abiding in the said swamp area, some of which being giant crocodiles (the earthly fomr of the celestial crocodile god - Sobek) and Set monsters. The swamp stank of sulpher and shimmered in midday sun appearing to be of aflame from far off. From this appearance of a very real, literal and seemingly fiery place full of demonic monsters are derived the genetic memories that became the notion of hell in Christianity.

Do not judge the person, but judge the act. Do not let people walk on you, because you are carrying a Spark of the Divine. When somebody hurts you, speak up and tell them that hurts. Somebody aggravated you, tell them that. You may find our you are aggravating too, but that is all right. Do not criticize! I do not want to hear criticism from anybody. I do not think any criticism is constructive. It's destructive. People say, "Do you mind a suggestion, a criticism?" I say, "Yes." Criticism is self-defeating.

There comes a time in a life when you have to walk away from all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the bad and focus on the good. Life is to short to be anything but happy!
Neale Donald Walsch
~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance grab it with both hands. If it changes your life let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!

There is a huge difference between fear and caution. Caution moves forward with care, fear stands still, paralyzed. Avoid paralysis at all cost. It is not good for the soul -- and it gets you nowhere.
Fear is one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross said, "Fear and guilt are the only enemies of man." And Franklin Roosevelt famously said, " We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Some people choose the treadmills. Other choose the wheels of life. If you don't like where the wheels of life have taken you, you can choose to move on.

Happiness is a natural state. Happiness is not an emotion, it is not a thought. It is rather, the unblocked flow of life-force energy moving in and through us. It is our open interface with other energy systems. It is balance.

You create your own reality. It's not just actions that determine our reality, it's our thoughts and beliefs. We have been taught that things happen to us when in fact they happen because of us. Many blame their misfortunes on God, fate, and luck. If you want to find the true master of your fate, look no further than your own mirror.

Just when it looks like life is falling to pieces it may be falling together for the first time. I have learned to trust the process of life, and not so much the outcome. Destinations have not nearly as much values as journeys. So maybe you should let thing fall apart at this juncture if that's what is happening. Don't hang on so tenaciously. The nice thing about things falling apart is you can pick up only the pieces you want.

In the words of the Prophet, "Work is love made visible. And when you work with love, you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another and to God... It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit... And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
