You are the light of the world! – Tu eres la luz del mundo!
Light of the World (from Godspell) by Robin Lamont, Jeffrey Mylett, …
You are the light of the world!
You are the light of the world!
But if that light is under a bushel
Brrr, it’s lost something kind of crucial
You got to stay bright to be the light of the world
Your authentic and free self is a bright and powerful light. Every time you shine, you are encouraging others to shine. So take off the bushel of doubt, limitation, and smallness. Take off the bushel of fitting in, being someone else’s idea of you, and living in fear. Big or small, your light is making a difference in the world, so let it shine. You are the light of the world!
por Robin Lamont, Jeffrey Mylett
Tú eres la luz del mundo!
Tú eres la luz del mundo!
Pero si esa luz está cubierta
Brrr…entonces esta perdió algo muy crucial
Así que debes de estar brillando para ser la luz del mundo.
Tú ser auténtico y libre es una luz brillante y poderosa. Cada que brillas, tu motivas a otros a brillar. Así que quita la cobertura de la duda, limitación y pequeñez. Quita la cobertura de tener que embonar, o ser la idea de alguien más en quien tienes que ser tú, y de vivir en miedo. Por grande o pequeña, tu luz hace una diferencia en el mundo, así que déjala brillar. Tú eres la luz del mundo.
Going with the Flow
Decide to be happy, healthy, spiritually awake, and present. Set your intention to create a life of meaningful connection and purposeful contribution. Creating your intention sets the course, gives direction to you and to the Universal Creative Process. This is like deciding which river you are going to canoe down, where you are going to put in, and where you are going. With these three things, you’ve done your part.
Now it’s the Law job, like the river, to carry you downstream to your destination. Your job is to go with the flow. You will be carried along, but you are also part of the process. Paddle when necessary, shoot the rapids with all the strength you can muster, and rest in the placid pools along the way. Enjoy the ride. You can absolutely trust the Law to do its job. Your job is to go with the flow.
Your Spiritual Playmates – Tus compañeros espirituales
The significant people in your life are your spiritual playmates. You share the adventures of the journey together. You are together to learn and grow. Sometimes that means you see and support each other’s greatness. Sometimes it feels more like sandpaper, rubbing off each other’s rough patches. Sometimes you roll along together, tumbling and churning like rocks in a rushing river. Other times you weather the storm by standing strong together, like trees sheltering each other from the cutting wind.
Relationships are your greatest teacher, the place for your deepest authenticity, and the most significant spiritual practice you will do on your journey. You and your spiritual playmates have attracted each other from the love and truth of your being. Enjoy the journey!
La gente importante en tu vida son tus compañeros espirituales. Tú compartes las aventuras del viaje juntos. Ustedes están juntos para aprender y crecer. A veces esto significa el ver y apoyar las grandezas del uno y otro. A veces se siente como un papel de lija, al estar tallando las partes ásperas de cada uno. A veces moviéndose juntos, cayéndose y rotando como piedras en un río con corriente. Otras veces superan la tormenta permaneciendo fuertes y juntos, como los árboles cubriendo el viento fuerte.
Las relaciones son tu mejor maestro, es el lugar de tu más profunda autenticidad, y de la práctica espiritual más importante que harás en tu viaje. Tú y tus compañeros espirituales se han atraído el uno al otro desde el Amor y la Verdad de tu ser. Disfruta el viaje!
Go for you! – Hazlo por ti!
Remember as a kid you’d run till you dropped, read under the covers till your eyes fell closed, played till you’d were parched, and spun around like a top till you fell over in a laughing heap? You were absolutely willing to go for it, full out, all the way – whether in sports, art, music, reading or whatever was right there in front of you at that moment.
Gusto and Grit. Passion and Power. Exhilaration and Sheer Determination. You deserve that same full-out way of life, today.
Go for you with gusto and grit – stop apologizing for who you are. Go for your life with passion and power – stop waiting for permission or trying to be acceptable. Go for whatever it is that is what you really, really want to do, be, contribute or create. You are worth all the blood, sweat and tears it takes! With sheer determination make your claim on the Universal Presence. With dogged trust take every step knowing it is supported by the Universal Power. You will once again experience the exhilaration for life – your life. Go for you!
Recuerdas que cuando eras niño corrías hasta que te cayeras, leías debajo de las cobijas hasta que tus ojos se cerrarán, jugabas hasta que estabas agotado, y girabas como rombo hasta que te caías a carcajadas? Tú estabas absolutamente decidido a hacerlo, completamente, hasta el final – ya sea en deportes, arte, música, lectura o cualquier cosa que estaba enfrente de ti en ese momento.
Entusiasmo y fuerza. Pasión y Poder. Regocijo y determinación absoluta. Tú mereces esa misma y completa manera de vida, hoy.
Hazlo con entusiasmo y aguante – para de disculparte por quien eres. Hazlo por tu vida con pasión y Poder – deja de esperar por permiso o por el ser aceptado. Hazlo por lo que realmente quieras hacer, ser, contribuir o crear. Tú vales toda la sangre, el sudor y lágrimas que tomen! Decreta tu petición con determinación absoluta ante la Presencia Universal. Toma cada paso con verdad obstinada sabiendo que estas sostenido por el Poder Universal. Tú volverás nuevamente a experimentar el regocijo por la vida – tu vida. Hazlo por ti!
Allowing Joy In – Permite la entrada a la alegría
Allow Joy in! It’s right here already, just waiting to saunter in and make itself comfortable in your heart. Joy is neither elusive nor unresponsive, it is, however sensitive to hostility, closed off by anxiety, and unavailable in fearful energy. Coax Joy onto your lap by turning your attention to everything you are grateful for! Ramble through your days with Joy by deeply releasing old hurts, negative patterns, and an unwillingness to forgive. Let Joy lead you on by focusing on your worth, your gifts, and the value of your presence. Make Joy your companion by trusting your inner knowing, doing your deep spiritual work, and getting out in the world and going for it with all you’ve got! Joy is right now whispering in your ear “I am here. I am with you. Let me in!”
Permite entrar a la alegría! Ya se encuentra aquí, esperando pasearse y acomodarse en tu corazón. La alegría no es elusiva ni insensible, más bien es sensible a la hostilidad, cerrada a la ansiedad y no disponible a energía con miedo. Mima la alegría hacia ti poniendo atención a todo lo que estás agradecido. Divaga por tus días en alegría desechando intensamente dolores pasados, patrones negativos, y la falta de perdonar. Déjate guiar por la alegría enfocándote en tu valor, tus talentos, y el valor de tu presencia. Haz que la alegría sea tu compañera creyendo en tu saber interno, haciendo tu trabajo espiritual, y mostrándote en el mundo en dirección a lo que quieres. La alegría susurra en tu oído “Aquí estoy. Estoy contigo. Déjame entrar!”
Do not be discouraged! – No te desanimes!
Awakening to who you truly are can be a process. Remembering that you are Light may come and go. The seduction of the facts of physical reality can be persuasive. The patterns of thinking/believing/seeing can be habitual. Sometimes it feels like you awaken only to fall back asleep again or become conscious only to go unconscious again. Do not be discouraged! Every bit of awareness is adding to your awakening, Every bit of illumination shifts your consciousness just a bit more. Every moment you are awake to the presence of the Spiritual Reality adds to you remembering who you truly are. The good news is you cannot unlearn what you know or forget what you’ve realized. Trust the process. Every moment you are a little more yourself and little more awake. Every moment you are a little closer to living in a state of enlightenment – being the Light that you already are.
El despertar a quien realmente eres puede ser un proceso. El recordar que eres Luz puede que venga y se vaya. La seducción de los hechos físicos pueden ser persuasivos. Los patrones de pensamiento/creencias/visión pueden ser habituales. A veces parece como si solo has despertado para nuevamente volverte a dormir, o el ser consciente y nuevamente volver a ser inconsciente. No te desanimes! Cada momento que estas consciente añade a tu despertar. Cada momento de iluminación cambia tu conciencia un poco más. Cada momento que estás despierto a la presencia de la Realidad Espiritual le agregas al recordar de quien realmente eres. La gran noticia es que no puedes borrar lo que ya aprendiste, ni olvidar de lo que te has dado cuenta. Confía en el proceso. Cada momento eres más quien eres y estás más despierto. Cada momento te encuentras más cercano al vivir en un estado de iluminación – y de ser la Luz que ya eres.
Life is for you! – la Vida es para ti!
Life is forever growing and expanding and seeking more ways to express life. Just look at any ecosystem, that isn’t negatively impacted by humans, and see how it is continually flourishing. Whether you look in tidepools, the rainforest, prairie lands, or the desert – there is life, and that life is reproducing, growing, and expressing all the time. Even death serves more life as sunlight reaches the forest floor and decaying matter creates new soil for more life.
If this is true in nature, how much more true it is for you as the Divine incarnated as an individual aspect of Itself. EVERYTHING that the Divine Life is, is already given. Everything that the Divine Life is, is already available to you, through you, as you! All of life, from the natural world to the Divine Reality, is seeking to live and grow, love and express, as YOU. If Life is for you, who can be against you? No one! If Life is for you, what can stop you? No-thing! Remember that Life is always for you!
La vida siempre crece, se expande y busca más caminos para expresar más vida. Solo mira a cualquier ecosistema que no está impactado negativamente por humanos, y ve como continúa floreciendo. Ya sea que veas en pozas de marea, la selva, tierras en la pradera, o el desierto – hay vida, y esa vida se está reproduciendo, creciendo, y expresando todo el tiempo. Incluso la muerte le sirve a la vida, así mismo como la luz del sol alcanza al suelo del bosque y materia descompuesta crea un nuevo suelo para más vida.
Si esto es verdad en la naturaleza, cuanto más es verdad en ti, siendo la Divinidad encarnada en un aspecto individual de ella misma. TODO lo que la Vida Divina es, ya está dado. Todo lo que la Vida Divina es, está disponible para ti, por ti, y para ti. La vida entera, desde el mundo de lo natural hasta la Realidad Divina, está buscando vivir, crecer, amar y expresarse como tú, en ti. Si la vida es para ti, entonces quién puede estar en tu contra? Nadie! Si la vida es para ti, que te puede detener? Nada! Recuerda que la Vida siempre es para ti!
Trusting the Universe
You live in a Universe governed by physical and spiritual laws. You don’t question gravity or other physical law. You learn about them and you see how they operate. Trusting that the spiritual laws are just as predictable and consistent is a powerful spiritual practice. Every time you affirm your good, trust that the Law is immediately making it so. Every time you affirm your intention and direction, trust that the path appears as you walk toward your goal. Every time you affirm your worth, trust that you are completely supported by the Universe. Every time you move forward with trust, rather than doubt or fear, you are absolutely aligning yourself with the spiritual laws and allowing them to work for you and through you. As Emerson said, “The dice of God are always loaded.” They are loaded in your favor! You can absolutely trust the Universal Law to create the good that you desire.
You have the power!
You have the power…the power to change, to create, to participate, to make a difference. The power you have in your own life is the same power you have to help rise above the challenges we face together. What is this power? It is the power of taking responsibility for your intentions, your choices, your words, and your actions. Taking responsibility is a deep and profound spiritual act. You are completely supported by the power of the Universe, every time you take responsibility! So take responsibility and exercise your power! Do your part and every day things get a little better and a little brighter and a little closer to the healthy, happy, and sane world that is the place in which you want to live and grow your best life!
Happy Talk and Gracious Listening
Speaking and hearing, talking and listening, are two sides of the oneness between hearts and minds. Let your talk be happy and you nourish your relationships, empower your intentions and grow your success. Let your listening be gracious and you deepen your connection, open your awareness, and discover new ways of love. Happy talk and gracious listening create safe space into which truth can be spoken, hurt shared, uncertainty revealed, and common ground discovered. Happy talk and gracious listening empower your flourishing relationships and create the space for love!
It’s a mystery…
Your life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived. Seeing life this way changes the way you engage with the journey. You live in an infinite Universe with infinite possibilities! Every bend, every boulder, every vista, every peak and valley are all simply moments along the path. Not everything needs to be fixed. Most things simply yearn to be experienced. Not everything needs to be changed. Some things just long for expression. As you travel the path of your life be curious about what’s going on. Explore what’s coming around the bend. Wonder at the beauty of the view. Revel in the quiet of the resting places. Let the mystery of your life unfold as gently as petals unfurling in the sun. Then the magic of you is revealed in all it’s beauty and glory!
Happy Valentine’s Day
Feel the Love of the Universe as the impulse of your very life. Whether you have a significant partner or not, you are loved. You are Love. May you be blessed by Love. May you be grateful for the Love in your Love. May Love be flame at the center of your awareness. May Love be the truth of your being. Celebrate LOVE, today and every day!
You are designed for success
Your life is designed to be the out-picturing of your deepest desires and your heartfelt passion. It is the expression of your joy, your contribution, your talent and your hard work all rolled together. Whatever you decide to spend your time, intention and commitment on is what the Universal Law says YES! too. You can have all the success you can imagine. If you are building a business imagine it filled with customers. If you are creating a non-profit, imagine the funds rolling in and the service that is being provided to so many people. If you are sharing your music imagine the hearts you are lifting. The more people you can imagine attending or receiving your goods and services, the more of an attractive magnet your consciousness becomes. The more magnetic your consciousness becomes, the more successful your enterprise will be! Use the Law, become a magnetic consciousness, and your success is assured!
Spiritual Partnership
By Gary Zukav “Spiritual partnerships are the most fulfilling, substantive, and deep relationships possible. They are relationships between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. Growing spiritually means creating a life of more joy and less pain, more meaning and less emptiness, and more love and less fear. As we become aware of ourselves as more than we once thought that we were—and this is happening to millions of people—we long for relationships that are the most meaningful and rewarding possible, that support us in becoming healthy, vibrant, creative, and loving. These are spiritual partnerships.
“Spiritual partnerships are arenas for discovering and challenging your fears and exploring and cultivating your love with others. They are joint experiments, bold ventures into the eternally new territory of the eternal present moment.
“You can create spiritual partnerships within your family, with your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, and with another individual as a couple. No matter who the spiritual partner or spiritual partners are, the spiritual partnership operates the same way. It is a vehicle that supports the partners in it to become more aware of their emotions, to become more aware of their intentions, and in making the most healthy choices that they can, choices that will create consequences for which they are willing to assume responsibility.”
