I am so inspired by the monthly newsletter from my dear Friend, Jim Young, that I’m sending it out as my daily offering!
“NAMASTE and Happy New Life, Dear Friends,
For many, this time of year speaks to opening to a fuller awareness of spiritual purpose and reconnecting with a deeper sense of wholeness. For some, this is what resurrection means: a spiritual re-birthing, a renewal or re-creation of their lives in ways even more meaningful than any time in their past. The metaphor of the Easter story and the advent of Spring, celebrated last month and this.
Well it should be that we celebrate each re-creation of our lives. If we stand still, the world leaves us in the dust of ages past, and agendas completed or cast aside. Indeed, we shift our image and purpose scores of times daily, so why not celebrate each one, living true to our Self? Being truly authentic?
I want to take this opportunity to thank you who follow such offerings that I plant in this newsletter, along with simple daily commentaries I place on Facebook and Twitter. Also, I thank you for following the new weekly podcasts I recently initiated. Your continuous commitment means much to me.
On life goes, merrily, merrily, merrily on its way!
I mention these workings not to boast about my own progress, even now at age 89, but to hopefully inspire you to understand that there's virtually nothing you want to do in life, at any age, that you cannot--providing you focus inwardly like a laser to make peace with your own authentic Voice of Wisdom and follow only that on your daily journey.
You're never too old to begin anew. Don't let a contrary thought of any kind be an option.
The advent of spring is just the time to plant yourself in new commitments of your very own, a reinventing of yourself so to speak, so you--and your new dreams, like plants in springtime--can bloom fully in all their ecstasy and be an inspiration for you and all around you.
From conversations with many of you, it's obvious that inner stirrings and angst from the ongoing coronavirus and the current world condition are more common and even more profound than we may realize. It's just as obvious that such stirrings are causing confusion among the ranks about our feelings, our life purpose and even physical changes that are coming our way these days.
A good way of shifting from angst to inner peace and to gain spiritual focus is to enjoy planting some new seeds of Life, dear friends. Our daily renewal just keeps getting better and better, day after day after day. Don't delay. Honor your dreams now.
Plant your renewed life images wherever you stand. And BLOOM to the hilt!
With Love's infinite blessings,
Jim Young”
“Be not afraid. We only start again an ancient journey long ago begun that but seems new. We have begun again upon a road we travelled on before and lost our way a little while. And now we try again. Our new beginning has the certainty the journey lacked till now. Look up and see His Word among the stars, where He has set your Name along with His. Look up and find your certain destiny the world would hide but God would have you see.”
A Course in Miracles C-ep.3:1-7
“I am Spirit. Man, whose senses are spiritual, is my likeness. He reflects the infinite understanding, for I am Infinity. The beauty of holiness, the perfection of being, imperishable glory, — all are Mine, for I am God. I give immortality to man, for I am Truth. I include and impart all bliss, for I am Love. I give life, without beginning and without end, for I am Life. I am supreme and give all, for I am Mind. I am the substance of all, because I am that I am.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 252:32-8
