You Know the Answer: Chapter One and Chapter Samples

New age, new thought, and all you need to know.

What is our relationship to each other? Our relationship to every other piece of the one? Whatever we decide that relationship is, we can discover our piece of the universe by choosing to love wherever we are, whoever we meet and whatever we think and feel. No one has any greater power, or ability or brain, energy, enlightenment or grace than any other. We can all chose each day to love it just as it is, to love ourselves just as we are, to love those who come into our lives just as they choose to be.

Remember, if Love, God, Life, or whatever you call it, is for you, then shouldn’t you be for yourself too? And, if you are the one and so is everybody else, who can be against you?
There is some truth in the sayings that the beloved is God, and that when we love God we are loving ourselves. I and thou are one. The other is the self.

- Todd Murphy

 

Chapter Two: How do we know its working? What does a life committed to the one look like?

It looks exactly like you and me.And him and her.

We have everything; We are everything we need to be. It is always available; was always available, will always be available whenever we choose.

You can choose any path you accept. You are what you wished for, though that may sound absurd. How about – you are what you’ve accepted.

Chapter Three

“Joy is the feeling of grinning inside.” – Melba Colgrove

You can Feel Good

It’s all right to have peace. It’s okay to be contented. To feel pleasure and joy.

Everywhere we look, everyone we meet offers us the chance to perceive the face of God, the perfection of ourselves projected through our eyes and ears.

There are no tests of our will to joy, no barriers to us not being “ready” created by anyone or anything. WE may feel as if some person or event is presented for us to challenge our right to happiness but WE are the ones defining the moments. We choose the test, write the questions, establish the answers and grade ourselves. We may well feel we are not ready for some leap of faith or another. We are, naturally, as ready as we’ll ever be. But there is always time. There is no need to be this or that today. All that we are, all that we can be, we have inside. Whenever we look with love, we’ll see it.

Chapter Four

“To livefully is to let go and die with each passing moment,and to be reborn in each new one.”

          – Jack Kornfield

Live!

To repeat, there is no one other than us. We can choose to love or hate ourselves as we will. And so it shall be. When we choose to see the world as cold, lifeless and evil, we can stop; remind ourselves “perhaps I’ve made the wrong choice”.
I can make a better choice” or “that’s what I need to love”

This does not mean you are a doormat. You operate from Love. Love with your strength of being. You are free. Protect your physical manifestation, walk away from toxic energy, take a stand, be true to your beliefs. But do it with no resistance to whatever circumstances appear to you. The Law is, what you resist draws you closer. What you love frees you.

Chapter Five

“The thirst forequality can express itself either as a desire to draw everyone down to one’s level,or to raise oneself and everyone else up.”

          – Friedrich Nietzsche

How We Got Here

We have invented a plethora of ideas, explanations and excuses for all the kinds of human behavior. First, we need to acknowledge all of these labels come from within ourselves. What we perceive, we categorize, and as we’ve learned, we perceive what we believe.
