Freedom From Circumstances

"If there is truly nothing that you can do to change your here and now, and you can't remove yourself from the situation, then accept your here and now totally by dropping all inner resistance. The false, unhappy self that loves feeling miserable, resentful, or sorry for itself can then no longer survive. This is called surrender. Surrender is not weakness. There is great strength in it. Only a surrendered person has spiritual power. Through surrender you will be free internally of the situation. You may then find that the situation changes without any effort on your part. In any case, you are free."

Eckhart Tolle

Greg Barette was using the Spiritual Thermometer while talking to Jane Hart today. I taped a simplified version to the side of my monitor. I'm shooting to increase a couple notches soon. :)

Earnie Larson


Guest speaker at Renaissance Unity today is Earnie Larson. He reminded me of the mother teresa quote "There are no great things, only small things done with great love"

I relate to this and disagree with it. It cuts to the core of the "let go of the outcome" "live in the moment" "don't let the ego mind run your life" thing.

And yet, I believe competition is good, and achievements should be rewarded and admired. I guess I'm asking for a special dispensation to observe great achievements by others...and to eat chocolate.

Wake Up!

My recent adult life has been punctuated by a series of spiritual awakenings. I drift off and God sends me another wakeup call. The blues song by Keb Mo'comes to mind. All those coincidences and signs...or maybe it's just God trying to get my attention. Well my eyes are opening again and I open myself to his will.
