We Have No Idea How Good We Can Get

We Have No Idea How Good We Can GetPaul Rosenberg – I can still remember the first time someone told me that they believed in the Calvinist doctrine of “the depravity of man.” It shocked me. To complain about human behavior I very well understood; there’s plenty of bad behavior in the world. But to flatly call the human species depraved… hopelessly unredeemable… that was, and remains, obscene to me.

The sad truth, however, is that the modern West swims in a sea of Calvinism. The corporate bullhorns feed everyone they can a steady diet of the bad, ugly, and if possible the bloody. Under their influence, we would believe that all is darkness, that truth is illusion, that the human path is ever-downward, and that all professions of goodness are frauds. Continue reading

Lies We Shouldn’t Have Told Our Children

Lies We Shouldn’t Have Told Our ChildrenDeanna Chadwell – Well, Santa Claus for one — the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Great Pumpkin, etc., but none of those are as damaging as others that we have consistently pounded into our kids’ thinking. Let’s look at some of them:

1) You can become anything you want to be.

Theoretically that’s nice. We want our kids to dream, to reach for the stars. We fail, however, because we don’t finish the lesson. We don’t point out that there are some limits. Why should a person like myself (I have a singing range of about three notes and very little control over which of those notes I hit) spend her life trying to be a singer? Shouldn’t reality appear here somewhere? Continue reading

So many good souls…

many Loving SoulsThe Angels – Tell yourself often, “My life is good. I am good. There are good people in the world.” You can focus on what others wish you to focus on or you can focus on what you choose to focus upon. There are indeed horrific things going on in your world, but there are as well countless, innumerable acts of love and kindness.

We would love it, if you would see on your news more stories about all the people helping children, animals, the elderly, the down and out, the lost, the lonely, and the weary. We would love it if you would see the brilliant scientific discoveries that are going to save lives and save your planet. We would love for you to see as we do– to see all the beautiful souls engaged in beautiful, loving actions even as you read this. Continue reading

What Good Shall I Do This Day?

goodCheryl Richardson – Yesterday, with some exceptions, Massachusetts lifted the last restrictions on wearing masks and limiting people in public venues and when I set out to do a few errands I wondered what it would be like to finally see people’s faces.

At the first shop I visited, I found employees and customers in masks and was grateful I had taken mine with me. As I paid for my purchases, I asked the woman behind the counter about the new protocol and she explained that because it was the first day, they were unsure if the town had lifted the restrictions, as well. Out of respect for their customers, they decided to keep wearing masks for a little while longer. Continue reading

Making Exalted Choices for Life

choicesAA Gabriel – This is a universe of free will. The Angels will not step in to assist without being asked. “Ask and you shall receive” was the statement of master Jesus. So it is important to ask for this support in all the choices you make in your life, from moment to moment.

When you make a choice to think in a positive, instead of negative way; when you make a choice to accept, rather than judge, the decisions made by another; when you agree to give instead of waiting to receive; all these choices are examples of opening your heart and mind to receiving your highest good. When you choose the highest good for all, you signal the available energy in the universe to come to your aid.

Miracles will occur naturally all around you, by your willingness to receive them. People will suddenly begin to give to you in a different way. Synchronous events will transpire in ways you never thought possible. This is the natural flow of God’s grace available to all who are willing to work in harmony with Divine Energy and have the forces of the universe align behind them.
