Staying Awake...

WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE that we carry our spirituality with us at all times. Not just when we have a pang of need, or when difficulties arise. Because just when we're overloaded with the prosaic, that's the time to awaken what is not only near you, in you, but is the actual, real you. Your spirit, your soul.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x Maintain the spiritual structure of your world. Overcome the ego, the foolishness of being self-centered. Our spirituality is unconditional. But most of the time we smother it when our emotions attack us, when our faith drops away. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x Open your consciousness to the sacred. Take comfort in having a continuous experience of enlightenment. x http://www.ellerochelle.blogspot.com/ x

Perspective.

WHEREVER YOU GO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,

you're always in the middle of the universe and the circle is always around you. Everyone who walks up to you has entered that sacred space, and it's not an accident. Whatever comes into that space is there to teach you.
