Use the spiritual guidelines that say, "Take care of yourself and take care of others. Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt others." Those are two spiritual guidelines upon which to base your life, two guidelines that will never get you in trouble. Those teachings are of Spirit. Anything telling you to go against those teachings is not of Spirit.

Test the Spirit. Check it out. Look down the road at the consequences and the results of any action you decide to take. Hindsight is often twenty-twenty vision. Look down the road and see if you can activate hindsight prior to the action. Use your common sense.

As you rise up in your consciousness, the actions of this person and that person in the world have less and less consequence in your life, and it becomes easier to let them go, to forgive them, to walk away from them -- because you are walking towards the Light and towards Spirit. You are experiencing and living Soul Transcendence, and the fullness and the joy of that will overshadow all the things of this world.

There are many things in life you do not have to do. You do not have to have security. Security lies in the inner awareness that there is no security. When you stop fighting for security and recognize that there is none, then there is no more concern about that.

A lot of people look at their lives and say, "There has to be something better, something more than this." There is a lot more than this, but not necessarily on the physical level. Wherever you are, no matter what you are doing or what you have with you, you can have the greatest experience possible: the awareness that you are a child of God and are divine. So begin your inner journey now. You will be filled with joy and the glorious feeling of love and caring.

There is a practicality with God. God can use misleading, betraying, lying, cheating, or negative fantasizing as a demonstration of what comes from negativity and does not work. Everything contributes to learning, growth and improvement. God uses everything as direction for living truth which can always be found in what is present.

I would say that the value of suffering is in not doing what you did before, and I have seen over the years that once a person gets sick and tired of being tired and sick, they change, and a change of attitude is often the first step. You can use your pain and suffering to show you where you need to love and forgive more. Used like this, pain and suffering can be stepping-stones to your greater freedom.

The Spirit moves through the heart rather than through the emotional content. When the Spirit moves upon you, something that was tentative inside becomes solid. Something that you may have thought about Spirit or about God becomes firm inside, and you know that you know that you know. Doubts disappear and clarity appears. If you move out of that experience, you can move back into doubt and confusion, and you are no longer in the direct experience of Spirit. That is okay because you cannot expect to live there 100 percent of the time. But if you have that experience enough -- perhaps through spiritual exercises -- the knowledge of Spirit becomes more and more solid in you, and you learn to discern the levels of the material world and the physical consciousness (mind, emotions, body, imagination) as being no more than what they are and Spirit as being just what it is: your true home.

A major block in the channel of our potential success is not being present. Many of you may respond, "What do you mean, 'not being present'? Of course I'm present. Here I am." We can be physically present but pulled by our past and anxiety-ridden about our future. Many people have emotional content going in so many fields. In the dance of romance, for example, you may look at someone and picture how beautiful life will be together in that fantasy of "someday my prince (or princess) will come." That's your desire pulling you into your future, which is often a limitation of your past, as learned through your parents. What are the choices? How can you be present now without losing yourself in the future?

The Light of your own consciousness is the most magnificent gift you can ever give, it is the most valuable thing there is. Your individual expression of the Light is so precious in its perfection and beauty.
