“I Am Making All Things New”
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throng saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.”
And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Revelation 21: 1-5. New Revised Standard Version

Our Thoughts Have Power
“We are disturbed not by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens. Nothing external can disturb us. We suffer only when we want things to be different from what they are. No one has the power to hurt you. It is only your own thinking about someone’s actions that can hurt you.” Byron Katie
FREEDOM
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Nelson Mandela – Photography by Clark Little
Unlimited Stream of Well-Being

Make an effort to feel yourself as the Leading-Edge beneficiary of this unlimited Stream and smile and try to accept that you are worthy of it.” Abraham-Hicks “Ask and It Is Given Calendar, 2007.

The Earth is Ascending into a Higher Dimension
“I should add that work like yours, finding caring families for homeless dogs, is helping to strengthen the entire light network. Those animals who had been living in fear or deprivation no longer are emanating the negativity that their former circumstances were causing.
I know you feel guilty because your primary interest is helping dogs even though you see great need elsewhere for assistance, too. You are inspired to do what you are doing just as others are inspired to relieve human suffering or preserve endangered species or clean up the environment. All these types of assistance are invaluable in preparing Earth for her ascendance into a higher dimension.”
“Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven,” P. 75, A Matthew Book with Suzanne Ward
The Need to Judge
“Judgment is blaming the character for the condition being noticed. Compassion is noticing the condition while forgiving the character.” Matt Kahn
Gratitude
“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” Buddha
Gifts for You from Other Lifetimes
“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
When you are ready to pay homage to all of your lifetimes of experiences, then and only then are you ready to accept yourself as you are today. The person that you are today is unique. That is true. But the person that you are today is part of a much bigger story, and that is the story of your incarnational cycle.
All other versions of you that are out there in these other lifetimes have a gift to give you. They offer you wisdom from their experiences. They offer you skills and abilities that they have honed. They also offer you the emotional amplification that you sometimes experience when you are having one of your moments in this lifetime. The emotional amplification is a result of a stockpiling of traumas.
Now when you see all of these other versions of you in these past lives as giving your gifts, you then begin to accept the whole of who you are. If instead you see them as the versions of that are responsible for the karma that has been inflicted on you in this lifetime, you are playing the victim. And while it can be fun to blame a you that you can only experience through memories, it is not the way. It is not the way to get you to where you want to go.
In recent years, both scientists and the popular press have touted the benefit of meditation for myriad health issues from depression to insomnia to chronic pain (see 20 scientific findings here). Ever tried it and it didn’t work for you? No worries, there’s more than one way to do it! You just have to find your type. Although mindfulness meditation is one of the more well-known forms of meditation, there are many other ways of practicing meditation. Find the shoe that fits!
Here’s a sampling of different types of meditation:
Mindfulness Meditation: Although the term “Mindfulness” can sometimes refer to the entire field of meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, at its origin, is a style of meditation that name involves paying attention to sensations, feelings and thoughts in a non-judgmental way. “Mindfulness-based” therapies and educational programs are springing up in clinics and schools across the country. Countless studies are showing that mindfulness meditation is beneficial for attention, memory and stress reduction.
Effortless Meditation: Mindfulness has received a lot of attention. However, a recent study showed that more unfocused meditations can have even greater benefits for stress and emotions. For this reason, you may want to try a more unfocused meditation. Guided meditations or mantra meditations require less effort and involve more relaxation for the mind. In particular, this kind of meditation may be suited to people who already are very focused and have a tendency towards being Type A. For them, a meditation that relaxes the mind and coaxes is to go into a more unfocused state may be more appropriate than a meditation that encourages focus and concentration.
