Living with Joy

“Part of growth is learning to create inner peace without being dependent upon things turning out a certain way or needing people to respond to you in a specific way. You want to create it as something you are and be able to give and share it with others. YOU become the center, radiating your soul’s light outward, rather than reacting, waiting for others or for situations and events in your life to be arranged in such a way that you have peace.” Orin

 

In the tradition of Jane Roberts, Esther Hicks, and Edgar Cayce, gifted channel Sanaya Roman presents Living with Joy, given to her by Orin, a timeless being of love and light. This wise and gentle spirit teacher offers a systematic course in spiritual growth.

The spiritual truths and transformative meditations and exercises in these pages have opened millions of people to their greater potential. Sanaya and Orin invite you to choose joy, release struggle, and open to the power of your innermost being.

With the guidance of this bestselling classic, you can learn to grow through joy rather than through struggle and pain. See immediate results in your life when you learn to:

• Love and appreciate yourself
• Open to receive
• Experience more self-confidence and self-esteem
• Live in higher purpose
• Take a quantum leap in any area
• Change negatives into positives
• Gain clarity in your relationships
• Increase your sense of aliveness and well-being

Orin (through Sanaya Roman) explains how to shift energy instantly, to create effective healing and life-changes, simply by using your conscious mind’s imagery, symbols and intentions.

But even more amazingly, Orin also broadcasts non-verbal, super-conscious information that aligns you with real joy, power, peace and inspiration.

I especially liked Orin’s admonition to take what he says and use what resonates for you, personally, and leave the rest behind. A good principle, I feel, when reading anything pertaining to our individual growth paths. Having said that, I found that almost all of it resonated with me, deeply and profoundly. You may, too.

Many people from all walks of life are going to benefit from this book because of the information that it contains regardless of how happy you are in your life (whether you are still learning to be happy or you are already super happy).

Some of the helpful chapters contained in this uplifting book are about living in higher purpose and recognizing life purpose. You may want to keep a pen, paper, and/or highlighter handy for information that is going to resonate with you depending what path you are currently on in your life

Read it for the light it can bring. Live it for the positive changes it can invoke. Love it for the joy we can all share and partake of. Highly recommended.

Be grateful for your teachers

“I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind. I should not be ungrateful to those teachers.” Kahlil Gibran

Little broken things

“Your head’s like mine, like ALL our heads – big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning of stars. Whole UNIVERSES fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things. Sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again, and we think that tune is all we are…”

Tom O’Bedlam, The Invisibles by Grant Morrison

Today is your big moment

“Today is your big moment. Moments, really. The life you’ve been waiting for is happening all around you. The scene unfolding right outside your window is worth more than the most beautiful painting, and the crackers and peanut butter that you’re having for lunch on the coffee table are as profound, in their own way, as the Last Supper. This is it. This is life in all its glory, swirling and unfolding around us, disguised as pedantic, pedestrian non-events. But pull off the mask and you will find your life, waiting to be made, chosen, woven, crafted.”

The integral being

to the ordinary being, others often require tolerance.
to the highly evolved being, there is no such thing as tolerance,
because there is no such thing as other.
she has given up all ideas of individuality
and extended her goodwill without prejudice in every direction.
never hating, never resisting, never contesting,
she is simply always learning and being.

loving, hating, having expectations:
all these are attachments.
attachment prevents the growth of one’s true being.
therefore the integral being is attached to nothing
and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude.
because of this, her very existence benefits all things.

you see, that which has form
is equal to that which is without form,
and that which is alive
is equal to that which rests.
this is the subtle truth, not a religious intervention,
but only those who are highly evolved will understand this.

Lao Tzu

Delicious Ambiguity

“Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity” ~ Gilda Radner

kaleidoscope of new possibilities

“At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.” ~ Jean Houston

I am the decisive element

I have come to the frightening conclusion…
That I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration,
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides
Whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated,
And a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be,
We help them become
What they are capable of becoming.

~ J.W.Goethe ~

Good Deeds Will Shine

Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, grace, and mercy, on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year. You will never be forgotten. Know your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the stars on the brow of the evening. Good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.

~ T. Chalmers

On needing approval

To seek approval is to have no resting place, no sanctuary.
Like all judgment, approval encourages a constant striving.
It makes us uncertain of who we are and of our true value.
Approval cannot be trusted.
It can be withdrawn at any time no matter what our track record has been.
It is as nourishing of real growth as cotton candy.
Yet many of us spend our lives pursuing it.

~ Rachel Naomi Remen
