Reflect on the value of a peaceful heart. What is it like to have a peaceful heart among the worldly winds of praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, fame and disrepute? These are the worldly winds that constantly change.

It's important to stop, take a pause, and feel that we are part of something so much greater than the individual life that we live. Our awareness is big enough to hold all of this, because we are awareness itself.

Energy Pull: Phenomenance Day #4

Just Choose! Have you ever heard those words and wanted to either kill somebody, roll your eyes, or crawl into a hole? The notion that we can choose whatever we would like to create is not a popular point of view in this reality – and also one of the most potent spaces of creation you can have and be if you are willing.  Choice is one of your greatest superpowers.  Are you willing to use it?
