YOUR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE...We talk a good deal about love, openness, and trust. And I have seen many in counsel who have been severely tested because of their same willingness to be open and loving. It seemed that when these individuals were the most open, they were summarily attacked, manipulated, and seen as weak or impaired in some way. And yet I tell you that these same individuals are the most courageous and advanced in spirit of all, for they have the integrity to project the convictions of their heart.Always, it is what you do that defines you. You are the accumulation of your actions, thoughts and desires. You live in a world where there are so many possibilities, yet many of us limit ourselves severely to what we think is the reality du jour.To take yourself seriously is at once the most liberating and confining thing that you can do. On the one hand, if you trust yourself and your inner teachings as true and authentic because of your heart's innermost feelings, and if you cherish the love you have in your heart and your spiritual connection above all things, then you shall constantly evolve into ever-unfolding, successive levels of consciousness. If, on the other hand, you believe that what you think constitutes the completeness and the wholeness of the universe; if you believe in your mind that what you see is all there is without the balance of your true heart, then you have condemned yourself to a subtle prison, trapped at your current level of awareness until your heart by its grasping exceeds your mind's grip on a lower reality.Life is truly what you make of it. If you embrace the notion that everything that comes is an opportunity for you to excel, then that shall be your reality. If you see others as grand and magnificent beings of light, composed of love and wisdom, then so be it.Remember that what you embrace and hold as true emanates from you like a great light that can be see by anyone, anywhere. If you truly represent peace and harmlessness, those qualities will be known by others even if you say nothing. If you say you don't know your purpose in life, then examine your interactions with others, and they will unerringly point towards your greatest attributes, sometimes by pointing out your faults. If you represent that willingness to be open and loving, those attacks and manipulations from others may be gently deflected by loving more, not less. For truth in itself will transcend any attempt to control it. Though you may perceive around you the suppression of truth, it exists surely within you at all times. And, it is access through your feelings, your trust.It is the courage of you to love yourself, to trust yourself and your spiritual connection to God that demonstrates your courage to others for them to see and behold.The greatness to which you aspire is limited only by you. It is the same openness in you that allows what is right and true in your heart to make manifest in the world. Not too long ago, slaves were owned, women could not vote, schools were segregated. The amount of greatness in Light and Love you hold in your heart must be rooted in authenticity. Believe in the Truth.Believe that within you is all access to all truth. That true higher consciousness already resides within you, waiting for your waking awareness to unfold and to live within. Embrace your inherent birthright in truth. Live it, so others may see by your example how they, too, could give up manipulation and fear for a greater sense of being and a larger life in wholeness.Your place in the universe is what you make of it. To know your own greatness is your most important task, and you find it service to others, in an authentic search of your spiritual advancement, by intending the desires of your heart and in fiercely trusting in your divine nature.We are all great, eloquent and magnificent beings of light. See and live that within yourself and be limited by no-thing and no fear.

A HERO to me is...... Someone who dare's the mighty deed This Quote says it all "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win great triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than it is to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, for they live in that gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
