VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Why fit in, when we were born to stand out? We can`t live our lives to please others, to be what someone else expects of us. Our path is unique, and Spirit craves our uniqueness.
When we heal our woundedness, we inspire and serve others to rise up and do their work. We show that it can be done, and that life does go on from hurt, betrayal and pain and that we can be joyous.

Our changing consciousness awakens a space for all. Nothing is personal in Spirit, it just is. When we value ourselves, we begin to see the value in others. We embrace the differences, and we lose the sense of separation.
The voice of the world tells us of lack, limit, danger and to beware the "other"- but we must stand in our Truth, to know of a greater reality than that of fear!

We are to love our lives entirely. Don`t dabble, indulge! Go deep. Discover where we are withholding our love from our own lives.
Release comparison and caring what others think- those are as worthless as guilt. Don`t be satisfied with the stories of others. We live the truth of our own being, and we find peace.

We each have gifts, creativity and intelligence that is uniquely ours. We are here to share our gifts, and participate in the flow of life. If we feel blocked or depressed or bored, the solution is service, to get into life. Right here/ right now. Not when we get over our issues- because that day will never happen.
We must challenge the story in our heads of our lack, our inability, our past failures. We don`t argue with that story- we replace it!

We are the place where Spirit shows up as active kindness and compassion. We are here to change our world, just our corner of it. When we act from our highest convictions, we empower others to do the same, and like ripples in a pond, the transformation spreads.
God`s plan for your life is YOUR plan for your life. Once you commit and say: this is it, Spirit always says yes. Even if the conditions don`t reflect that now, they will change once we are all in for change.
Thank you Nadine and the band for the great music.

By doing, we demonstrate our beliefs. We can talk all day, but nothing comes from that. A body apart from Spirit is dead, as Faith, apart from works is dead. We are called to act.
We can be outraged, horrified and pulled right off of our spiritual path by the things we see around us. But we must remember who we are: spirit in form. Perfect, whole and complete. Perfect meaning "lacking nothing", not flawless. We can have a human reaction, but then we return to Principle and trust, know and move. Nothing can stop us but us.

Things that can`t be hidden long: the sun, the moon, the truth, and our true nature.

You are enough. Nothing is required, because God is our Truth. The difference is awareness.
Going after accomplishments that try to prove our worth only set us up in a cycle of performance based actions that get us nowhere. We are free and enough, and yet free enough to see ourselves as bound.

 Freedom is our natural way of being, a deep call within each of us. We are bound by our freedom, free enough to create lack, limitation, disease and loneliness. It is by thought we increase the conditions around us. By focusing on what we don`t want, we make more of it.
This is because we`re living in our heads, which is where "the story" comes from. We must move to the heart, which can dream and imagine greater.

 We live in a life of Universal, physical truths; mathematics, electricity, gravity- they work the same everywhere, for everyone. And crossing those Laws, are spiritual laws: Freedom, Joy, Love, Peace. Which also work the same everywhere for everyone. We use these laws to create our lives.
We are drawn to a life that is uniquely ours: some use beauty and creativity and transform the world with art and music. Others are open to levels of abundance and opportunity. We are always at choice. We awaken to our Truth and know that there is no condition greater than cause. And we are the cause of our effect.
