Is there a dividing line between right and wrong? If so, where is it at, and how can I find it? Because it seems to be so subjective Many are confused and argue where it lies
But whenever a choice arises between Right and wrong, what we should and should not do We intuitively know the choice we should make Because it has to do with the signals we see
There’s a light always shining from everyone’s eyes Always available if we choose to look Providing us info to their current needs Letting us know how we may be of service
Here is the fundamental question at hand Do we serve them or do we serve ourselves? This is the difference between right and wrong Self-aggrandizement versus love towards others
Do we do it for praise, reward, or glory Or is it for the benefit of others? Do we do it to feel better about ourselves Or does it serve a purpose in society?
Could it be for self-justification? Do we do it to ease our own burdens? What about for self-gratification? Could it be to appease our own egos?
Do we like ourselves in doing the task Or do we enjoy the task for its purpose? Because if our choices do not serve others We can be sure we’re serving ourselves
Remember that people are always the ends And should never be employed for the means Because if people are utilized that way We’re using them as pawns for own purposes
The key isn’t always to do the right thing But to have the right motive behind the action Any time justification pops up We can be sure our hearts are not right
Any time a wrong decision we make We feel that gnawing sensation in our soul We then have to lie to ourselves to feel OK To prove to ourselves our decision is right
Because in our own minds we would never choose A wrong decision knowing we’re at fault Self-deception and lies always accompany Those choices so we can put our conscience at ease
These are the indicators between right and wrong Do we live in tension and discomfort Or do we feel free with a clear mind and pure heart? One path leads to remorse, the other to joy
If right decisions we consistently make We will trust ourselves and others will too Because the worst feeling to have inside Is when we can’t even trust the choices we make

The Meaning of "I AM"
The ancient Sanctus prayer of the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist proclaims; "Holy, holy, holy are you, God of power and might. heaven and earth are full of your glory, "Being full of the divine glory, the cosmos is also God's dwelling place. And speaking through the lips of the prophet Isaiah, the Divine Mystery said, "My house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples. "Thus to view the cosmos as a temple means to view the prayer and worship of all those who dwell on the planet Earth as the praise of the children of God.

In the First Letter of Saint John is a truth that opens us to the great mystery that God does not show partiality because of creed or race. "Beloved, let us love one another because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten of God and has knowledge of God."
We are what we think. What we are is
the result of our thoughts. With our thoughts
we make our world. Speak or act with an
impure mind and trouble will follow you as
the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
Speak or act with a pure mind and
happiness wil follow you as unshakable
as your shadow.
the Lord Buddha
from the Dhammapada
We are born gentle and weak.
At death we are hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
When they die they are withered and dry.
Therefore this stiff and unbending
are the diciples of death.
The gentle and yeilding
are the disciples of life.
Lao Tzu
from the Tao Te Ching
Judaic Tradition
You shall love God with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
And you shall love your neighbor
as yourself.
the Prophet Moses
from the Book of Deuteronomy
Hindu Tradition
We are born into the world of nature;
our second birth is into the world of spirit.
the Lord Krishna
from the Bhagavad Gita
Islamic tradition
We are born asleep and at death we awake.
the Prophet Mohammed
from the Koran
Native Indians
of the Americas Tradition
Oh, only for so short a while
have you loaned us to each other.
Because we take form in your act of drawing us,
and we breathe in your sining us.
But only for a short while
Because even a drewing cut in
crystalline absidian fades,
and the green feathers, the crown feathers,
of the Quetzal bird lose their color,
and even the sounds of the waterfall
die out in the dry season.
So, we too, because only for a short while
Aztec prayer to God
Our worst 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.
We ask ourselves,
"Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the World. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us,
it is in everyone of us. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our prescence automatically liberates others.
SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY
Infinite Abundance
When everyone starts to live from their heart, and go for what they want, they don't go for the same things.
...This is the beauty of
Infinate Abundance...
We don't all want a BMW, boat or Mansion on the beach,
We don't all want the same person, pet or friends,
We don't all want the same shirt, shoes or pants,
We don't all want the same experiences,
We don't all want...
I dedicate this blog today to my many friends who are showing hidden signs of stress and related.
Giving ourselves respite from our daily concerns is like giving a gift to ourselves. By stepping away from the problems that seem to saturate our thoughts, we lessen the weight of our troubles and instead become more receptive to the wisdom and answers the universe has to offer us
I want you to take this blog and really absorb it;
explore life, enjoy life!.
I wish peace to all, may your weekend be delightful fun and loveing....
much love K
All time is in one place...
Every moment combined makes the whole, each moment experience -
collected as wholness. There is no real time just the sensation of it.
It all happens in a flash and then all is done Oneness becomes the only moment in Time...

Shifting With The Tide Energetic Motion
Since our lives are constantly in motion energetically, change is a constant element of our existence. As dynamic as that energy is, it is not random or haphazard in naturethe shifts in energy that are constantly taking place are the result of our choices. The formulation of intention, a change in perspective, or the creation of a goal can transform our lives in blink of an eye. We think positive thoughts and the world becomes a brighter place. Or we decide who we want to be and become that person. With each passing moment, we are given innumerable opportunities to create change using nothing more than our awareness. In the span of a single second, our lives can change immeasurably because energy moves at a pace more rapid than anything we can consciously fathom. Though we may not at first be sensitive to the vibrational shifts taking place, our choices are ultimately at the heart of these transformations. We can typically recognize the consequences of key decisions because we anticipated the resultant energetic shifts. But many, if not most, of the choices we make each day are a product of instantaneous reactions, and these still have a significant impact on the energy of our existence. It is for this reason that we should learn to wield what control we can over these shifts. If we bear in mind that all we think and all we do will shape the existence we know, we can deliberately direct the energetic motion of our lives. Each day, you make an infinite array of decisions that cause energy shifts in the world around you. In many cases, these transitions are almost imperceptible, while in others the change that takes place is palpable not only to you but also to those in your sphere of influence. Your awareness of the immediate energetic consequences of your thoughts and actions can guide you as you endeavor to make the most of the autonomy that defines you as an individual. The myriad choices you make from moment to moment, however inconsequential they may seem, represent your personal power, which sanctions you to transform the energetic tide of your existence with nothing more than your will.
