I Think Therefore I Am NOT -- Experiencing Daily Inspirations

Two phrases are frequently used in our culture: “I think, therefore I am” (Descartes) and “Think before you act (or speak).” In my experience, both phrases seem to reflect a misguided wisdom.

We “think” with the cerebral parts of our brain – reason, learn, decide, judge, believe – all are cerebral thought operations. And the assumptions are that they are the higher mental functions of our brain, and therefore they are the “rulers” of our neural activity and consciousness. Nice fantasy, but totally contradictory to real life. Alcoholism and addiction alone totally blows this apart – as well as codependency, PTSD, and gambling addiction – and even typical human depression and anxiety. Thought has no significant effect on serious dependencies and emotionalmental disorders.

Yet thought is worshipped as the God of humanity who controls and can control any problem and challenge a human being might face. In the end, humanity becomes severely crippled, injured, diseased, and generally self destructive. At best, thought is a powerful mood altering neurochemical that suppresses and anesthetizes brain pain cells. At worst it becomes the excuse and justification for massive harm and abandonment of others.

Thought operates at the discretion and direction of the primitive limbic brain. The primitive limbic brain does not reason, learn, decide, judge or think anything. Its function is to monitor and control the neural energy levels of the brain as a whole. And it does so in minute increments that have no real consideration of long term consequences. Hence, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” is really untrue. The primitive limbic brain is only monitoring and controlling on short impulses of time and results. So repetitive actions produces the “desired” and anticipated response. It is not dealing with long term effects.

Relationships are guarded and protected from intimacy and true closeness because it would make the brain so vulnerable to explosions of neural energy – energy- in motion (emotion) – when the intimacy and closeness results in rejection and abandonment. So human brains are attracted to others who have similar levels of ability to be intimate and close in order to protect our brains. Relationships are like xray scanned images of where our brains are and what they are really unconsciously seeking. There are really no mistakes – just cerebrally unexpected and undesirable outcomes.

Perhaps, we could rephrase these phrases as follows:

1. “I think therefore I am” – I consciously experience my self in God’s Presence and therefore I am becoming more and more my Self.
2. “Think before you act (or speak)” – I will experience conscious contact with myself and with my God before I act or express myself with others.

Experience involves consciously feeling the energy frequencies that our brain constrictions are causing – numb, angry, scared, sad, lonely, guilty, and ashamed – and connecting with a higher Presence who can bring levels of manageability back to our brains and lives.

When we are tempted to think, let’s take a few deep breaths, and let our God help us experience consciously the emotional and spiritual wholeness of who we really are.

We Need More Than Answers -- Daily Inspirations

Computers are useless.
They can only give you answers.
Pablo Picasso

Answers are the enemies of spiritual solutions. Knowledge is the enemy of spiritual enlightenment. Intellect disables spiritual experiences. Psychology is the enemy of spiritual Presence and nurturing intimacy.

What do answers, knowledge, intellect and psychology all have in common? They are based on mental thought and not on spiritual experience. So they produce a distraction which gives temporary relief to inner separation and pain. But ultimately it creates more separation – and therefore more pain.

We need something – someone – who gives more than answers – who brings intimate spiritual enlightenment into the darkness of our abandonments – someone whose loving and caring Presence brings spiritual healing to our wounded souls.

WE have this Someone – when we are WE!

GOD'S LOVE Through Us, Through Others -- Spiritual Enlightenment Through Daily Inspirations

Let God love you through others, and let God love others through you.

D.M. Street

In the Bible, there is a reference to how “God became flesh and dwelt among us,” referring to Jesus. And Jesus said, “these things that I do shall you do – and greater things.” To me, these references describe the need, and the resources we as human beings have for a “flesh and blood” connection to God’s higher loving Presence – spiritual enlightenment. The challenge with this spiritual awareness is how to get past each other’s humanness to access the spiritual Presence we all possess. Many times we are distracted by what is often referred to as “ego” -- a barrier to seeing and experiencing the God Presence within each of us. There is a resistance that forms inside of us when we are not consciously experiencing my own humanness and weakness – and God’s Presence. In this state, a separation occurs within ourselves, and a separate protective and artificial self appears – our ego. In its protectiveness, this ego version of our selves actually sabotages our ability to experience of God’s Presence through others. In protecting me, my “ego” actually destroys the possibility of having the intimacy and closeness that is available and present. This ego protective self does this in two ways: 1. First it distorts what others are communicating – verbally and nonverbally – recreating the separation and abandonments of my past – in the present. My “ego” replays the “tapes” of my wounded past within my current relationships as if it is occurring right now and with this specific person. It actually creates a hallucination of perception with corresponding distorted mental reactions and reactive actions. 2. Second the ego self rejects others – in the attempt to protect me – and actually creates the separation and abandonment that it is trying to prevent. To reverse this process, we must begin to let God love us – through others – especially letting God love our protective ego selves. As I experience consciously my ego, and turn this wounded part of me over to God’s love through others, an energy begins to flow into me – a higher spiritual Presence – an emerging spiritual enlightenment. We are able to begin reliving our past and have different outcomes. To continue this process, we need to also begin to let our God love others through us. The energy that flows through us to others creates an equal and greater level of loving Presence for us than we have given. Let’s receive God’s unconditional loving Presence through others, and consciously send the same loving Presence to others through ourselves. Life will never be the same – it will be a better place by Their design.

Finding Our Selves -- Spiritual Enlightenment Through Daily Inspirations

We usually see things not as they are, but as we are.

Anonymous

What are we looking at? What relationships, what situations, what events – what is it we looking at? And most importantly -- what are we looking for?

As we begin submerge beneath the surface of thought and intellect – into emerging spiritual enlightenment – we begin to see and experience “things” -- parts of ourselves deeply hidden within ourselves – lost and forgotten selves.

To survive the threats of abandonment and loneliness, our brains stops the “tape” of our lives and replaced it with yet another “tape” – another self – with some of same memories hidden in its memories and programming. And yet this new self is alone and separate from the rest.

Each time we lose another part of ourselves – another self appears to continue the trip toward unconsciousness – and toward death – the seemingly ultimate and final separation.

When life happens, our brains has unresolved issues recorded in unconscious traces – becoming activated by external events. Most of what we experience is our painful past selves projected on to the material world – a giant mirror of ourselves. What we see and hear are actually reflections of our past and lost selves.

Some become distracted by the perceptions of prior lifetimes – or reincarnation. I suggest that we might be more productive by re-experiencing and restoring our many lifetimes within this lifetime.

I was raised in spiritual enlightenment to view all my perceptions as reflections of lost and abandoned selves – life times – seeking, looking for a return to being present and conscious -- now. To become distracted from ourselves by living the material world as truth has major power to sever more of ourselves from the core of our spirit self.

Spiritual enlightenment involves establishing a heightened conscious presence with God, allowing ourselves to stop losing selves, and to be progressively restored to ourselves.

What are we looking at – looking for? Our selves.

Experience our perceptions of life – Connect with the higher Presence -- God of our experience – Actively embrace who appears in God’s care as our newly returning selves.

The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.

Shadow Selves Returning Through Spiritual Presence and Daily Inspirations

Most of the shadows of this life are caused
by standing in one’s own sunshine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am reminded of an image and inner vision that I have experienced, especially during meditation. I see shadows moving in and out and around me, and I wonder what these shadowy figures are. When I reach out to touch them, I experience that they are “Me’s” – lost selves -- separated by excessive levels of pain from past events and circumstances. They are moving – sometimes running -- around, trying to get my attention – wanting to come home – back to conscious contact with me. And I feel a sadness, an emptiness, and a different type of loneliness.

I sense that I lost selves when I experienced massive abandonment and separation – emotional pain. And I have experienced the regaining of lost selves when my God’s Presence was restored to my mental processes.


There are wonderful treasures of selves and spiritual enlightenment hidden within these shadows. We must connect with a higher Presence of loving Light in order for our darkness to be changed into this spiritual enlightenment – the restoration of our lost selves.

This conscious experience of our shadowy selves can be a wonderful gift of awakening and spiritual enlightenment. But first it may produce a terrifying sense of hopelessness and loss. In any case something will change – as our shadowed selves step back into consciousness, and once again – become Light.

The Courage to Be Humanly Conscious and Spiritually Awakened

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger -- misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good, that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding, and that there is always tomorrow.

Dorothy Thompson

In January, 2003, Liz was diagnosed with a reoccurrence of colon cancer -- the second time since her original diagnosis in 1995. It was beginning to affect her back and left leg. causing incredible pain, and difficulty walking. The picture above was taken two to three weeks before she died -- in 2005. She was on her way to a support group that had been a major part of her life for fourteen years, and lunch with her friends. I really don't remember if she was actually able to go to lunch -- but that was her intent when we left the house.

I took the picture -- and lots of similar pictures -- because I was so impressed with her incredible courage. I don't believe I could have done what she did.

Courage -- I think it's about perception and our relationship with a God of our personal experience and relationship. Courage is seeing into life and its myriad facets of events, circumstances and outcomes -- and seeing a meaning and purpose that cannot be seen with human eyes -- it can only be experienced by a human heart filled with God's Presence.

Courage is believing the unseen -- and living each moment -- each breath -- in the currents and waves of the unknown and uncontrollable -- opening ourselves to feel and experience and risk being fully human -- and loved fully spiritual.

We are the chosen, the called, the awake and present -- we are meant to live "heart wide open" -- to become "rivers of loving life" to others by being human and spiritually present -- all in the same moment.

Conscious life takes courage -- it requires God's Presence -- it involves a willingness to grieve and hurt and be sad -- and to risk joy and serenity, and closeness with God.

It take courage to do more than just believe in God -- instead to actively live in intimate Presence with God.

There will always be a tomorrow -- I believe Liz "knew" that -- even if it is means leaving --

and going Home.

Courage -- remembering not to forget.

What Happens When We Stop Falling? Finding Daily Inspirations

A baby learning to walk falls a lot.

Kathleen Rowe

What happens when we stop falling? Have we “learned to “walk”? Have we “arrived”?

I am fascinated by my own desire to finish something – to step out from behind my human stream of being, and find my self at a predetermined set of coordinates – fixed and whole. And yet I am lost. Erected road signs claim to show the way through life to some desirable and earned place of happiness and completeness. And yet I am not -- there.

My brain seems so foolish. It is programmed to project any version of reality that hides my truths – to keep me away from understanding what can only be experienced – to mislead me away from who I really am.

A child -- learning to walk-- is confronted with a physical force – gravity. Something is sucking him or her toward their own feet – the basic and simplest place on top of this giant sphere of existence – the ground of all human beingness. Wandering around the universe of new sensations and experiences, the child is repeated thrown to its knees – to a place of pain and fear --- and then hope – the belief that someday they will be able to negotiate a working relationship with what they perceive to be freedom.

And the child falls – again and again. Until – something seems mastered – and the ordeal has produced its desired end. And now the child races forward to new experiences – forgetting the struggle that occurred to become – in motion.

I experience that to stop falling is to stop growing – to settle into the world’s glittering illusion of dreams. To fall is to reexperience the truth of my human state: without lasting intimate connection with my God, my self and my others -- I am powerless. Areas of my self are disconnected – in this breathing life. So I should always be falling from my own human graces -- toward a state of being that is “more me” – than I was before.

If this is not happening, I am not becoming. I am disbecoming – losing and leaving the existence of my living selves – aging into the oblivion of what my brain paints as the beyond – to finally stumble – back -- at the last -- into the stream of where I must become – and die into the life I leave behind.

The gift of falling is being given to me today, and I am growing – more and more consciously present – and I am faced with my deepest darkest truest selves. Together, with my God’s loving Presence, we are shedding the darkness and becoming a different light.

Maybe “walking” is overrated.

Daily Inspirations Can Change Darkness into Spiritual EnLIGHTenment

Life is difficult – when it is conscious. In the absence of consciousness – without spiritual enlightenment –human beings live in a massive void of darkness, without it ever becoming a major life problem to be dealt with. Normally, one is born, lives 70-80 years, and never really experiences the darkness – unless something or someone in one’s life breaks the seal of the primitive brain, and opens the stored neural darkness to glimmers of light and conscious sensation.

Our Real Enemy
Our real enemy as human beings is not illness, poverty, bondage, or death—but consciousness. We can endure the worst of circumstances and even death – as long as we are not forced to do so consciously. And everything can be going exactly as we think we want it, externally, but if our level of consciousness is too high, we are of all people most miserable. So our brain resists and fights consciousness as if it is death. Actually the fear of death is the fear of consciousness – of ultimate conscious separation and abandonment.

Stay Away From the Light
The problem with consciousness – with the Light coming on inside -- is that it begins to expose the wretched separation and abandonment that is the real human condition on this material plane. We human beings live separated and alone – aching in the shame that something is terribly and horribly wrong with us, and that this is the reason we are so alone -- why no one is there – no one is there inside with us.

iWorld
As a result, our brains have closed our eyes to truth, and created an imaginary world, composed of imaginary people -- where we have a collection of alternating imaginary selves –masked selves – who participate in this imaginary world without having to experience the Darkness -- consciously.

“I Am Not Sick!”
There is a story told about Jesus talking to a group of religious intellectuals of his day. He said to them, “those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.” For years I puzzled his statement. Spiritually, these intellectuals were some of the “sickest” people of the day. Then one day I experienced what he was saying: if a person does not consciously experience that they are sick – or in the Darkness – they have no need for help – or the Light – no matter how sick or how dark their lives are.

The fortunate -- or unfortunate -- few have had some major life event or series of events that shoves them into consciousness of the Darkness – and they have been blinded by the initial light of human consciousness. The result is major conscious bearing pain and fear.

So when this happens, what can we do? How do we learn to live in Light?

Connect with the Light of Presence
Darkness involves our brains blocking out parts of the neural network in order to avoid conscious experience of the absence of higher Presence and of the incredible separation and alienation from ourselves and from others.

First light begins when human life experiences expose these dark areas of the brain to light – human conscious awareness. If higher Presence is not also accessed, the brain will reassert darkness, and the human conscious awareness will fade back into the dark abyss.

Sustained Light begins with the insertion of an emerging spiritual experience of higher Presence, which most frequently begins with the experience, strength, and hope of others. So to begin we need to connect with others, specifically through the experience of daily inspirations. We need to connect with the Light of Presence.

Openings
Daily inspirations are others’ expressed experiences of the Light that has entered and influenced their lives. These expressions are openings for receiving spiritual enlightenment that reconnects us with the Light. I believe that sometimes these expressions were conscious experiences for the author, and sometimes they were expressed in unconsciousness. Ultimately, what I hear and experience is more important than what was said – or meant.

These openings – daily inspirations -- include inspiring life quotes, inspirational readings, spiritual coaching, and the stories and sharings by others of spiritual principles -- their application of spiritual enlightenment.

Connecting with the Light of Presence means to collect and regularly experience those daily inspirations --spiritual openings and resources -- that bring spiritual enlightenment and Presence into our Darkness on a regular basis.

The Light of Presence reveals and heals the Darkness of the past and present – creating openings and opportunities for spiritual enlightenments and a Better Life by Higher Design.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Five -- Spiritual Therapy

Now that we have completed an initial spiritual history of our human disease, and have shared it with our higher Presence and ourselves by admitting its secrets to a spiritual coach or guide, these next two spiritual principles are the spiritual therapy which can bring spiritual healing.

Daily inspirations are sources of spiritual enlightenment and Presence from inspiring life quotes, inspirational readings, spiritual coaching, spiritual meditations, and others’ personal stories and experiences. They prepare us to receive spiritual therapy, and they are administered regularly as actual spiritual therapy.

Daily inspirations provide sources of spiritual energy – intimate Presence – which begin restoring us to spiritual enlightenment with others, ourselves and our higher Presence.

Sixth Spiritual Principle: We became entirely ready to have our higher Presence treat and heal the symptoms of our humanness.

As we disclose our secrets, we begin and continue the healing process of spiritual therapy for our wounded brains. To continue the process of spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment, we must proceed through the progression of spiritual therapy treatments – inserting and improving conscious connection to our higher Presence into the unPresence. For this spiritual principle to operate, two things are necessary:
1. Our level of conscious human experience – pain -- must be great enough to create a willingness to be treated. Short term, spiritual therapy is going to increase our neural discomfort. Long term, only spiritual therapy will actually heal our humanness and eliminate our symptoms. If the conscious pain is not great enough we will abandon spiritual therapy, and return to active human illness.
2. Our level of conscious spiritual Presence must be great enough to protect us from being overwhelmed by emerging consciousness, and by resulting emotional pain. Our level of higher spiritual Presence must be great enough to restore serenity to our unPresent neural pathways.

This spiritual principle involves preparation for spiritual therapy, and the maintenance of this preparation, both by the steady practice of daily inspirations with the help of spiritual coaching.

Seventh Spiritual Principle: We humbly asked Him and/or Her to heal our humanness.

We ask humbly because we are powerless to remove our own symptoms and illness. This too is a part of the process. I cannot treat my own illness or remove my own symptoms. I must maintain and experience an intimate relationship with my higher Presence that allows me to ask and receive the necessary spiritual therapy of Presence.

We receive the spiritual therapy of increasing Presence
1. When we are faced with circumstances that make our illness and symptoms conscious.
2. When we respond – humbly – to these circumstances and events by disclosing our feelings and experiences in spiritual coaching, and asking through this support and through daily inspirations for spiritual healing.
3. When we have experienced the renewed calmness and serenity of spiritual enlightenment.

In practicing these principles of spiritual enlightenment and spiritual therapy, we begin to regain our lost and wounded selves from the neural abyss of our brains – and our lives become a Better Place by Higher Design.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Four -- Spiritual Therapy

The next two spiritual principles involve the beginning of spiritual therapy through spiritual enlightenment regarding our human illness. We must humanly experience ourselves with our higher Presence’s help, through the spiritual coaching of others and with the support of daily inspirations, in order to have our discomforts treated with spiritual therapy. As the wounded and diseased neural pathways of our brains begin to heal, a spiritual enlightenment – an inner light – begins to appear, and our perceptions and reactions respond to continuing spiritual therapy.

Life becomes a Better Place.

Fourth Spiritual Principle: We made a searching and fearless spiritual inventory of our humanness – past and present.

In this principle, we do the equivalent of a medical history that one would do with a doctor. For spiritual therapy to be maximally effective, we must understand and experience our humanness. In this process, daily inspirations and spiritual coaching is essential for thoroughness and for our protection from possible neural reactions.
1.We list the events and relationships in our lives where we felt abandoned.
2.We write down all injuries that we perceive we have experienced from others abandoning or abusing us.
3.We note the specifics of our resentments – the neural scab that the brain creates to protect us from emotional/neural injuries.
4.We list our fears – the expressions of our expectations of continuing separation from others, ourselves and our higher Presence.
5.We describe how our illness became expressed in our actions and words towards ourselves and others – our continuing symptoms.

Anger is how we fight our stored painful neural energies, and fear is how we take flight away from this neural consciousness.

When we are “finished”, we have begun having a conscious spiritual enlightenment that reveals how our humanness has been wounded, and how our injuries and our human illness have expressed themselves in our lives. Daily inspirations and spiritual coaching protects us through the process.

Fifth Spiritual Principle: We admitted to God and to ourselves through another human being the exact nature of our symptoms and disease.

With this spiritual principle, we disclose the details as accurately and consciously as possible – to God, and to ourselves through others in some form of spiritual coaching.

Our disease of humanness was caused by abandonment by others, resulting in separation within our brains from ourselves, others and our higher Presence. Spiritual therapy with daily inspirations begins with reconnecting with ourselves, and our higher Presence through another human being bringing intimate spiritual enlightenment.

Abandonment, and our belief in our responsibility for our relationship outcomes, creates wounds of unPresence, which can only be treated successfully by restoring Presence. This spiritual principle begins the process of spiritual therapy.

Daily Inspirations with spiritual coaching gives a comforting and guiding flow of Presence energy. Spiritual therapy restores us to a state of spiritual enlightenment where life can be lived as a Better Place by Higher Design.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Three

We are powerless over our mental perceptions and over our emotional reactions and therefore the experience of our lives is unmanageable. Spiritual enlightenment requires that we start here and move forward with finding daily inspirations that begins to address our powerlessness.

Second Spiritual Principle: We came to experience that a Presence greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

The problems I have had with my perceptual filters of life were caused by an absence or loss of Presence – separation from God, and myself caused by actual or perceived abandonments by other human beings. Many of us have experienced a repairing or restoring of our mental filters when we began to reconnect with a higher Presence through others and through daily inspirations. And we still don’t know how damaged the neural network of our brains is.

This higher Presence begins to restore connections within our brain between the neural pathways of our primitive brain, and of our conscious reasoning brain. We begin to have “choices” – proportionate to our experienced levels of conscious Presence, and to the level of neural reprogramming that healing Presence has completed within our neurally stored pasts

This spiritual principle is about:
1. Experiencing a personal Presence greater than ourselves.
2. Finding daily inspirations that progressively reconnect us to our higher Presence, to ourselves and to others.
3. Using our spiritual experiences, and our daily inspirations to activate increasing spiritual enlightenment.
4. Receiving spiritual coaching to enable higher Presence to give us a neural soundness that frees our brains to receive spiritual enlightenment.

Third Spiritual Principle: We made a decision and took the action to turn our wills and our lives over the care of God as we experienced Him and/or Her.

Based on the intimate Presence that began to emerge in Step Two, we began to surrender our perceptions and decisions (our wills), and their outcomes (our lives) over to our personal and caring higher Presence. A critical part of this spiritual principle is Action. A decision without action is not really a decision – it is a mental exercise in fantasy. Action – like daily inspirations – accesses the brain’s neural network, and allows higher Presence to reprogram the darkness of lonely abandonment into the light of loving intimacy and warmth.

The action taken demonstrates a spiritual enlightenment and resulting trust relationship with our higher Presence. This actions takes the form of acting as if this Presence is taking care of us, and then “doing the next right thing” as an action of trust in this Presence. I have been unable to do this without spiritual coaching.

Summary:
In my experience of over twenty years, these initial three spiritual principles are ultimately the basis of all spiritual enlightenment, daily inspirations, and spiritual coaching. They have to be practiced and lived consistently to produce consistent results.

Spiritual coaching involves an experienced spiritual seeker, supporting and guiding a process of discovering and experiencing daily inspirations – moments of contact and intimacy with a higher Presence. This process of daily inspirations generates a neural openness that produces spiritual enlightenment as a natural and growing result.

And life becomes a Better Place by Higher Design.

How Do Daily Inspirations and Spiritual Enlightenment Make Life Different ?

“A consciousness of God’s presence,

as One who loves you,
makes all life different.
The consciousness of God’s love
promotes the opening of your whole being to God.”
Twenty-Four Hours a Day

The normal human condition is one of constriction – closedness – to others, ourselves, and our higher Presence. It is a natural, and generally unconscious reaction to the fear and expectation of ultimately being abandoned – separated from others.

I have learned that there are certain symptoms that frequently remind me of my shame, and my fear of separation:
1. Worry – the mental preoccupation with outcomes related to any person, thing, or situation that catches my attention. My unresolved past attaches to my immediate present, and I live emotionally the neural energies of fear, trying to escape with desperate thought.
2. Anger – when I am irritated, my brain is avoiding shame and separation by bursts of neural energy, generally discharged toward people, things and situations that are not as I think I would like it to be. This is displaced energy, and not true responses.

As my consciousness rises, I become aware that my insides and outsides are tight, tense, and constricted. If it continues for any length of time, I will begin to experience physical symptoms of my illness.

Daily inspirations are about allowing our consciousness to be redirected by “God’s Presence” to an experience of God’s or our higher Presence’s unconditional adoration and affection for us. As we find and experience the cues that are in daily inspirations, we can experience an “opening of our whole being to God”, to ourselves, and to other human beings.

There are various blockages to this opening. One is the human desire or demand for guarantees. How can I know that when I allow higher Presence to open my being, that I will be safe, loved, and nurtured in the future? This is a question that ultimately daily inspirations must begin to “answer”.

“Understanding is the reward of faith.

Therefore seek not to understand that thou mightest believe,
but believe that thou mayest understand.”
Aurelius Augustinus

Faith and belief, in spiritual terms are not thoughts. Traditional religion, being thought based, tends to imply that faith and belief are done by thinking – which is with our brains. Unfortunately, that will not work. The part of the brain that thinks is very tiny. The part of the brain that feels fear and shame is massive. Thought will do little more than distract us from our human condition. Our brains are ultimately not where the spiritual “guarantees” of my life are written.

Daily inspirations teach us how to believe spiritually – to experience an intimate closeness with a Presence that the brain cannot comprehend. The result can be a spiritual enlightenment that transcends thought, and activates our heart to “know” without using our brains to do so. And suddenly there is a peace and confidence that defies and confound mental thought -- and I find my guarantees written on the intuitive tissue of my heart.

My experience is that it was divinely planned by my higher Presence, that I not be able to mentally comprehend the Plan for life – the rhyme and reason of my life. The only way I can know is through an ongoing intimate relationship with my higher Presence -- the goal and outcome of steady and consistent daily inspirations.

One of the barriers I experience is that my brain is rarely silent. It chatters – with details, observations, and projected explanations and expectations. I use daily inspirations to stop, breath, allow my mind to still, and then quietly listen to that “still small voice” of Presence.

Another barrier is “education” – trying to amass enough information mentally into my brain that I can understand and control my life. I have learned that spiritual education is a private matter – it has nothing to do with colleges or schools. Spiritual enlightenment comes from experiences which take my brain beyond my thoughts, into spiritual enlightenments that are self-changing – the rebirth of my lost selves into present Presence.

This spiritual enlightenment is a return to the child who we really are. To survive, we became adults – took responsibility for the uncontrollable, donned masks that hid our wretchedness, suppressed natural emotional experiences with intellectual thinking, and generally lost sight of the beautiful creatures we were created to be.


“Some of our feelings have been stored so long
that they have freezer burn.”
Melodie Beattie

We are using daily inspirations to be restored to who we are underneath all the fire and ice. We are beginning to have “breakthroughs” – more and more transformative experiences -- that are changing our very genetic spiritual structure back to our natural states.

Our higher Presence is reweaving the tapestries of our lives and we becoming beautiful and awesome – children and masters of God’s infinite and unconditional love and grace.

We are becoming truly amazing.
