When you have set a goal for yourself -- whether it's short-term or long-term -- envision yourself getting there. Use your creative imagination and see yourself attaining your goal. That's a good way to stimulate the success mechanism, a good way to prime the pump. Hold the image of your success and your completion in front of you, and keep moving forward. It will become obvious, moment to moment, what must be done next. All you have to do is hold to that completed image of success as your direction and then move to the next obvious thing to be done. That's living in the now, and that's success.

When we have restraint, we do not breathe deeply. We breathe in a shallow way, and we do not use our lungs to their full capacity. Thus, we do not oxygenate the blood as well as we can and the nutrients don't get into the cells in an optimal way. The result is that what goes with restraint are aches and pains. When we have aches and pains, we have an excuse not to do what needs to get done. What is it that restrains us? Often it's other people's opinions or our thoughts that we won't have enough money to do what we want and, as we've seen, our fear of making a mistake. This leads to our not following through, which in turn leads to our not trusting ourselves. Not trusting ourselves leads to our not being able to make up our minds and proceed with purpose. Can you now understand how restraint can be a disease? It's not a disease in the medical or pathological sense; it's a disease of consciousness.

Before you came into embodiment, you intended to become more aware and to use this level to bring yourself into God consciousness, to leave this land of reflected Light and enter into the ultimate, and then to take the next step as it is presented to you, for you.

The more purity you can perceive, the more you can add to the glory of the Light you manifest.

When God awakened and moved upon Himself and breathed forward all the worlds, He did it for Himself, which is within each Soul. He did it for each one of us to come into this experience and have happiness and joy beyond all imagining.

As you serve unconditionally, you become your heart, your Soul, and you become the heart of others; in that you will know what people need and how to meet them with the Spirit. This takes place when you are attuned to your spiritual heart, and it is a moment-to-moment process that unfolds as you trust the Spirit and move with it. You may reach out to another person's heart with a kind word or loving touch, and then wonder whether you did the right thing. You do the right thing when you are attuned to your Spirit.

Understanding is our strength. Being strong is not our strength. Being strong could mean resistance, and resistance could lead to separation. Strength is the understanding of our reality, and neither needs defense nor is fearful about an attack of others' opinions. When we truly stand in our strength, we transcend any win-lose situation.

Keep looking at any situation as a test that you can pass with the assistance available to you spiritually and by doing the best you can in response. Deep in your heart and Soul you know this already, which is a comfort that helps you to trust and relax. That alone always helps. You are perfectly designed to use each and every condition to lift and be lifted, to learn and grow, and to discover the spiritual gifts that can become more manifest through your expression into the world.

If you start defending your illusion, you have to fight a battle that you're going to lose even if you win because it will eventually turn out that you are wrong. Even if you fight and win, you lose. When you don't have to fight, you are winning.

You are in this world to learn to use the energy of creation wisely in order to bring about completion. An important key to remember is that the energy of Spirit follows the thoughts you hold. Wherever you direct this spiritual energy in the material world, things are manifested. There's an old saying: "What you fear comes upon you." It means you become a magnet for what you fear, and you create for yourself the very thing you're afraid of. Is there a real source of fear? No. Is there real fear? Yes. It is inside of you, and you are the creator of it. You give birth to your own fear. Under the energy of fear is the energy of pure Spirit, which allows you to create whatever you want. This is the unconditional loving of Spirit, allowing you to do whatever you will with your body, emotions, and mind. - John-Roger
