It is Our Light Not Darkness That Most Frightens Us!

Pauline Respress, BBA, M.Ed.,
I woke today with a quote from Marianne Williamson resonating in my head..."Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us."

Thoughout the years I have many accounts that I can remember that when I began to shine my light of possibilities from within, I shrunk due to what I perceived others would think of my light. We all come to this planet coded with a divine gift.and it is our fears that stop us from shining our divine light. Our fear of how powerful our light could be.--our fear of the possibilities.

Possibilities are tuck safely in our imagination, they lie dormant until we tap into them,by tapping into our source and asking HIM to download them into our earthly realm. But if we are holding onto fear of the unknown, resentment or pain of the past-- we can't receive God's magnificent plan for our lives.

Fear is darkness, it robs us of our ability to embrace the light. The light is there but the cloud of fear is blocking it. And we are unable to feel the warm flow of light waiting to enter into our lives.

In order to get past our cloud of fear, we must activate our ability to LOVE..Love is the key to getting to more light. Love is the code entered into our lives that allows God to download his plan to us--for our greatness.

When we can get to a point that we release all resentment, fear and pain-- and then pray for good things for those who will inevitably trespass against us. Then and only then can we get to the power beyond measure, and Light not Darkness..We are free from the chains of those things that stand in the way of us getting to God's plan for our lives.

Your LIGHT is directly correlated with your ability to give yourself away to LOVE and LIGHT-- they are the tools that break through the darkness and inevitably lead you to your power beyond measure!

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things!
Kind Regards,
Pauline

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
