Snippets ...

Some days I feel like a sponge ... just absorbing a plethora of delicious spiritual nutrients ... they're all around me, nearly tangible, coming at me in droves ... from so many varied resources. And all, I'm seeing, from the same Source -- God, the only Source of truth, manifested in abundant reSources.

So, without further ado, here are some of those snippets of spiritual nutrients that I've absorbed lately (or perhaps remembered..?) ... things that made my spirit sit up and sing, "YES!":

- Being divinely inspired, and being infallible, are two different things ...

- Life is God, interpreted ...

- God believes in those who don't (yet) believe in Him ...

- The idea that God stopped talking to the human race 2,000 years ago is false ...

- God's desire is for every soul to return to Him -- and God cannot fail in having this desire fulfilled...

- Many of us have come to the place where ignorance is no longer bliss ...

- Nothing exists outside of God ... God is All That Is, All That Was, All That Will Ever Be. There is nothing that Is, that is not God ... everything comes from Him, and returns to Him...

- Happiness is not created out of certain conditions; certain conditions are created out of happiness...

- We have projected ourselves, upon God, rather than experiencing God as He is...

- Pain is an experience; suffering is judgment (i.e., "I should not be experiencing this pain.") Such thoughts increase suffering ...

- Dominion does not equal domination ...

- As long as we believe that there is something we have to *do*, we will struggle to find out what it is, and then strive to achieve it. And so, achievement has become our god ...

- What if the Ten Commandments are really the Ten Promises ...?

- What if Original Sin is really Original Blessing ..?

- An observation is not a judgment, as long as we have no illusion about a requirement...

- Everything and everyone is perfect (i.e., complete); it's our perception that's skewy...

- Happiness is not in having what we want, but in wanting what we have ...

- Death can be re-defined as simply the end of one experience, and the beginning of another ...

- There is no competition ... there is enough (of everything, for everyone)...

- It is an illusion that time is running out ... life doesn't end ...

- Conditional love is an oxymoron ...

- There is no such thing as superiority; we made it all up...

- Why is it that when we imagine ourselves better, we act worse...?

- When did "we don't know" turn into "we're not supposed to know"...?

- There are only two energies, two motivators in the universe: Love and Fear ...

- We can teach our children (& the rest of us) that we need nothing exterior in order to be happy ...

- The meaning of education is not "to put in", but "to draw out"...

- We can move past a set of beliefs, into an awareness of what we know to be true ...

- We see what we want to see ... we observe what we expect to observe ... and we can look right past what we don't expect to observe ...

- Most of us are not making true choices about what to believe, but are accepting the choices of others ...

- God is not the dispenser of love -- God IS Love...

- We spend our entire lifetimes, seeking that which we already have ...

- When we perceive of a need, we can ask, "why do I think I need this?" Wait a moment, and recognize that "I'm still here ... I didn't need it." Looking back on our lives, we can see that we always had whatever we needed at that precise moment ... it's our fear of not having our needs met that keeps us from seeing that our needs are being met... it's FEAR (False Evidence Appearing As Real) that hinders us from fully living our lives ...

- We have nothing to fear, but fear itself...
