The
journey of my spirit got a jump start when I realized that my belief system
needed an overhaul. I realized, by traveling for quite some time in the wrong
direction, that my soul was part of a wonderful
universe which was of my making. If I
decided that today was going to be a crappy day, it usually was. I began to
change my thinking. This started with what I believed to be the infinite power
that provides the universe with all that we seek.
I had looked for all kinds of sustenance from many different
sources. I always found myself alone and frustrated. Where was this love
everyone talked about? I know I felt it once a long time ago. It was wonderful
when it wasn't terrible. I didn't find it until I allowed the infinite power of
the universe to be my supplier. It made sense. I had looked for love in places
where a limited supply was to be found. When I directed by desires to the
universe, I realized that this was the infinite source of all things and the
best part is this realization is that I knew that I was part of it.
This meant that if I looked within, to that part of me that
was of the infinite universe, I would find all that I needed. I realize now
that I am a mirror of what I seek. I had to see the most beautiful part of
myself in order to be happy with what I found elsewhere. It is when I changed
how I looked at myself that I found infinite resources to use at my discretion.
I was still lost until I started to meditate. I got quiet,
listened to nice music, and started to change. I started to see that I was
having a hard time seeing beauty in the world because the waste products of my
life were in the way. Can you imagine what your house would look like if you
never cleaned it? Uh, huh. I had some housecleaning to do.
I got rid of all of the feelings that were not serving me. I
kept the joy and made it a foundation on which to build a new life. When I
built on joy as a foundation for living, my vision became one of beauty. I no
longer saw the ghosts of the life I had left behind. I saw good in everything.
Even the most diabolical of all entities served a purpose--to motivate all that
is good.
I now have a rich and rewarding life. I am starting a
business network of services that will promote joy, prosperity and abundance to
those that find me. I started with a little project using my animation skills
that tells the story of my life. My meditation DVD,
Shining Spirit Meditations, is available on Amazon.com. Its
children are there too. My
meditation MP3 downloads offer a
variety of journeys to help nourish the soul. I have continued posting daily
thoughts, based on my life in paradise, Fort Lauderdale, on my
Shining Spirit Meditation Facebook (click

roof at my website:

I am finding relationships that nourish my soul. I attract
people that are kind, peaceful and wonderful. I do this by becoming the person
that I would like to fall in love with. I am.
