A few observations from where I sit
============================
If you want to know the future,
look to the now-that-always-is.
Focus not only at the horizon,
But also at your feet.
There's no other spot in the Universe
Exactly like the one you occupy.
Each moment is filled with reasons for being.
Find out why you're here now, this very instant...
The very pebbles at your feet reach for you.
To teach you.

============================
Just Because
Just because my understanding may be different
from yours, do not assume I have NO understanding.
We just come from different experiences.
Just because my vision is different from yours,
do not assume I am blind.
We just see things differently.
Just because you disagree with my words,
do not assume you are the only "good person"
in the conversation.
That is called prejudice. The mother of hatred.

============================
Beware the Extremes
"There will always be extremists who distort a good thing
into something destructive and unrecognizable."

============================
REMEMBER (The Consolations)
REMEMBER that it comes to each of us a time for crossing
over and that it is in Grandfather's hands, not ours.
REMEMBER to spend time on those things that matter most.
An hour spent giving love is worth more to your spirit
than a lifetime of getting wealth.
REMEMBER that second hand faith is worse than no faith at
all. Find your own path. No one else should chart your way
but Creator in your heart.
REMEMBER Grandfather is always within you. And you are
within Him, even when you feel the most distant.
REMEMBER that you always serve Grandfather regardless, but
it is YOUR choice whether to serve the Creator or the Destroyer.
For both are available to you equally. Choose wisely gentle
spirits. What you plant is what grows!
REMEMBER that Creator made each of us for a high spiritual
purpose. No one else has your destiny.
REMEMBER that our true spiritual mission is threefold; (1) to
maintain our balance within, (2) to spread love without, and
(3) to complete the circle, each in our own way.
REMEMBER that pain and adversity are often the best teachers.
If Grandfather puts a mountain in your path it is because
your spirit needs the lessons that only a climb can provide.
REMEMBER that the universe is comprised of complete circles.
There can be no light without darkness, no joy without pain,
no dawn without sunset, no parting without reunion.
REMEMBER that Grandfather can love you only as much as
you love others. If you choose to hide your light in a lonely
dark corner, He will leave you to it. If you cling to your pain,
He will let you keep it.
REMEMBER the choice is ALWAYS yours.
AHO!
