You will say: 'The place? What place is that?' Obviously, the word 'place' has several meanings here: element, country, house, job, role, ideal. We often see people going this way and that without ever settling anywhere. They cannot find their place; they are rootless and unhappy. What they need is to be planted in fertile soil where they will begin to germinate. Until then, they are like seed in a barn waiting to be sown. When a seed is planted in good soil, it grows and bears fruit. It says, 'At last, I have found my place,' for its place was not in the barn where it would have gone moldy or been eaten by mice. In the same way, what each one of us needs is to be sown, to be planted in spiritual soil."

How In The World Are You Doing On This Wonder-Full Day Of Creation? Always remember this. The Sun (The Light and Love Of SPIRIT) Is Shining Brightly Outside And Also Inside Of You. No Matter How It May Look On The Surface The Light and Love Of SPIRIT Is Always Shining For Your Benefit. Enjoy your life to the fullest, you have been given the authority to do so. Add more inspiration, admiration, excitement and wonder to your life by sharing more of your Unconditional Love with the world. "You Are The Light Of The World, Shine Brightly !" ·.,¸.«»·.,¸,.·§·.,¸,.»·«»·.,¸,.»§«o»§«.,¸,.·«»·«.,¸,.·§·.,¸,.·«».¸,.· TRUE SERVICE The quality of service that we receive today's from retailers and just about every other area of service rendered to us here in America, is far below an acceptable level. Being an entrepreneur I see this a lot from all kinds of small and large businesses alike. Sad to say, I also see this same thing in the areas of Spiritual, religious, and medical services. The bottom line here is this; we should be committed to giving our best (excellence) in everything that we do. What we do and the services that we render are a reflection of who and what we are, they are a reflection of what we are truly about. I remember when I was growing up, pride, exceptional service and quality of the product was taught and emphasized over and over by just about every business. My first job was in retail. I worked for the Kinney Shoe Corporation and the first thing that was taught was, the customer is always right and we must go beyond our call of duty to serve each and every customer. We also had to know all of our merchandise inside out. I had to know about every shoe, hand bag and every other accessory we carried. That was how it was with every business at that time. If you went into a hardware store and asked a question, before you left someone who work there gave you the answer. Today when you ask a question about a product in just about any store the answer you get will be, I don't know, what does the box say? What we are dealing with here are ethics, our moral principles and values. Something needs to be done about this and you and I can do something. First we have to make sure that we do our best in all that we do. Yes, we must continually find ways to improve on that which we do. Also when we go shopping we must demand in a polite and orderly way, that someone finds the answers to the questions that we have about the products and/or services we are seeking to buy. We must stop excepting unacceptable products and services. That means that we may have to take it one step further when we are seeking answers, and we sometimes must ask to speak to a manager and even refuse to buy and go somewhere else if our questions still can not be answered adequately. We must raise the standard of Excellence and Quality that we require from those who offer us their services and products. We have entered into The Age of Truth, things can not, and will not remain the same. Everything that is illusionary and deceptive in nature is starting to be uncovered. That is because the consciousness of you and I and everyone else on the face of EARTH MOTHER is starting to awaken and we are seeing things as they truly are. What has been done in the dark is being revealed in the Light. The Age of Truth is The Age of Light and Love. It is the age where the Divine comprehensive and fundamental laws of SPIRIT reign Supreme. The laws of SPIRIT must be followed at all times, in all that we do. We must raise the standard that has allowed to be lower for many years now. We are a Spiritual creation.and everything that we do must be governed by SPIRIT. There is no separation between SPIRIT and State or anything else. Please understand, I am talking about Spirituality, not religiosity. Nothing was created or exists without SPIRIT. Without SPIRIT There Is Nothing. So without Spirituality there is no order. Without order there is decay, destruction and death. If you and I want Life to it's fullest, in it's natural state of abundance, we have to build and live life from a strong Spiritual foundation. If we remove SPIRIT from it, we take away the life giving force that sustains it. I am not sure about anyone else but as for myself, I want everything that SPIRIT has for me. That means that I must follow the direction SPIRIT gives to me, and what I have share today is part of that direction. What direction are you receiving? I LOVE YOU!

Ideally, of course, we would like a marriage to last for a lifetime. But when it doesn’t, we dishonor the relationship by casting an aura of failure over all of it. If you loved, learned, and grew during the time you were together, there was real success. The relationship is a failure only if you learned nothing and you go on to repeat the same mistakes. And even if you do, all of your experience is contributing to ultimate learning, so it is all part of your soul’s growth. I find it interesting that, in contrast to other life adventures, we make separate rules of judgment about marriage and relationships. If you stay in a job or a home or a friendship for 10 or 20 years, and then you resign, move, or grow apart, you don’t say, "My job (or home or friendship) failed." You acknowledge that the experience served an important purpose during the time you were in it. Then, when it no longer is a source of life and joy, you acknowledge that you have grown, changed, or moved on, you appreciate its gifts, and release it with love. When it comes to marriage, however, we are taught that we have failed unless we have stayed together for a lifetime. This seems rather harsh to me. Let’s begin to celebrate our lives as an adventure in dynamic unfoldment. Of course we want it to turn out in the way we would like, but when it doesn’t, there are many other gifts available, gifts often far more meaningful than grabbing the brass ring. The real brass ring is the joy of the journey. v Alan Cohen ·.,¸.«»·.,¸,.·§·.,¸,.»·«»·.,¸,.»§«o»§«.,¸,.·«»·«.,¸,.·§·.,¸,.·«».¸,.· [AFFIRMATION There's Only One Final Destination, Yet Many Paths That Lead Us There.I Know My Path Because I Recognize The Love That It Is Paved In!
