<hr /><!-- Al's Leading article --><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">To BE a Champion</span><br />
<a name="al-article"><span style="color: #000080; ">by  Al Diaz</span></a>It took  months of playing time, countless hours of practice, over a hundred  games for the season, and a lot of sweat and expended energy to get to  this point. You can say that both the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles  Lakers were driven and put themselves in this position.</p>
<p>The  members of the teams both individually and collectively made a conscious  choice that somehow, someway this is where they would be. They then  believed in themselves that they would be in the position to win the  title.</p>
<p>The first  2 ½ quarters of the game I wouldn’t consider to be memorable…but the  drive and determination by the Lakers in the last 1 ½ quarters was  amazing to be eventually crowned as NBA champions.</p>
<p>I enjoy  basketball and Love the Lakers…but the reason I’m telling you all this  is because we all have the same ability to accomplish something great or  achieve greatness in our Life!</p>
<p>All we  have to do is…<br />
Know what it is that we would like to  accomplish…listen to our Heart for that.<br />
Make the conscious choice  to make it so.<br />
Believe in your Self to have it happen.<br />
Take  inspired action.<br />
Trust that all the resources are coming forth to  support, assist and guide you.</p>
<p>It can  happen for you in your own special way to BE the champion in your Life  just as it did for the NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers.</p>
<p>It’s  time…and well deserved.</p>
<p>For our  best and highest good, all ways…<br />

Waterfall of Clarity ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: #888888;">Vol 52, June 14, 2010</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000080;"><strong>Waterfall of Clarity</strong></span> <!-- Al's Leading article --> <!--  --></p>
<div><a name="al-article"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;">by Al Diaz</span></a></div>
<div>As we raise our level of awareness and understanding of our  world, our reality, our potential, and our Life…it seems the more we  know the less we really knew. It’s like you get this drop of wisdom,  insight or an aha moment and a whole waterfall of clarity washes over  you.</div>
<div>I’m going to use my Self as an example. My intention is to  continuously evolve by raising my level of awareness and there are times  when I “think” I may finally have something all figured out. Until I  reach out to someone about something that I feel is totally unrelated to  my current understanding about Life and WHAM!</div>
<div>Shift happens…</div>
<div>A few weeks ago Life introduced me to someone new who I  thought had some amazing insights and brought more clarity into my Life.  So much so that I reached out to her and connected with her so that  perhaps she may guide me on my journey in Life.</div>
<div>The reason I am telling you all this is because we are all not  here alone to figure it all out by ourselves in this journey called  Life. There are those who have figured out some parts of Life better  than others and would Love to guide the rest of us…but yet we don’t ask  for that guidance or if we do we ask incorrectly.</div>
<div>Why not ask another that has a higher level of awareness for  support, assistance or guidance? It is almost like trying to reinvent  the wheel on your own.</div>
<div>When you do ask…ask for guidance or inspiration which is  different from asking for answers or to be “given” something.</div>
<div>Our Life journey is our own and when we ask for guidance it is  for helping us to remember our own answers, insights, wisdom or “aha”  moments. Thus creating that waterfall of clarity that washes over you to  keep moving forward and evolving…and realizing the expansive wisdom  that exists and yet to BE tapped into.</div>
<div>For our best and highest good, all ways…</div>

<div><strong><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;">Anxiously  Seeking Something</span><br />
</strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080;">by Eckhart Tolle<br />
</span></div>
<div>Carl Jung tells in one of his books of a conversation he had  with a Native American chief who pointed out to him that in his  perception most white people have tense faces, staring eyes, and a cruel  demeanor. He said: &#8220;They are always seeking something. What are they  seeking? The whites always want something. They are always uneasy and  restless. We don&#8217;t know what they want. We think they are mad.&#8221;</div>
<div>The undercurrent of constant unease started long before the  rise of Western industrial civilization, of course, but in Western  civilization, which now covers almost the entire globe, including most  of the East, it manifests in an unprecedentedly acute form. It was  already there at the time of Jesus, and it was there 6oo years before  that at the time of Buddha, and long before that. &#8220;Why are you always  anxious?&#8221; Jesus asked his disciples. &#8220;Can anxious thought add a single  day to your life?&#8221; And the Buddha taught that the root of suffering is  to be found in our constant wanting and craving&#8230;.</div>

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Just Ask For Help</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></strong><br />
There was a time when I used to think I had to figure things out all by myself. Heck there were even times when I felt I was all alone…better yet ego had me believe nobody really understood what I what I was going through with any low points of my Life. Sometimes I was too embarrassed to speak up…shame and guilt would keep me in silence that was not conducive to moving forward.</p>
<p>When I raised my level of awareness I realized how silly I had been…and how simple it is to ask for support, assistance, and guidance.</p>
<p>Almost every time I’m in a situation that I can’t just figure out I reach out to someone or something. It can be a friend, a stranger, God, the Universe, nature, a higher power, a book, or even music.</p>
<p>The support, assistance, and guidance are available to us just for the asking…we don’t have to do everything alone or on our own. Remember there is power in numbers and when two or more are gathered there is much power there to plow through any circumstance and with every situation there is a harmonious solution.</p>
<p>Do your Self a favor and ask for the support, assistance, and guidance for any situation you may be going through, and if the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd don’t offer help keep going until the right source comes into your Life.</p>
<p>Keep asking because the help will come…it all ways does.</p>
<p>When it does…<br />
Keep your eyes open<br />
Keep your ears open<br />
Keep your mind open<br />
Most importantly keep your Heart open<br />
Then take inspired action</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

Shift the perception of the past (first step of The Titus Concept), BE fully aware of the power of each moment, and consciously create your future. That is how you have the Lifestyle that you desire or require.<br />

<h2><a title="Afraid of the Past" href="http://www.ilumine-ao.com/2010/05/03/afraid-of-the-past-by-marie-t-russell/"><span style="color: #000080;">Afraid of the Past? </span></a></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Marie T. Russell</span></strong><br />
Afraid of the past? Now that seems like a silly concept, doesn&#8217;t it? How can one be afraid of the past when it has already happened?</p>
<p>Yet when one looks closely at the fears we have for the future, we see they are often repetitions of old fears, or of things that have happened to us or to others in the past.</p>
<p>What is it you fear? Do you fear losing the one you love? Do you fear losing your job, your security?</p>
<p>Look back at your past and see&#8230; did you not once &#8216;lose&#8217; someone or something you loved? Did you not feel that your security was &#8216;taken&#8217; from you? Consequently, the fears that you hold for the future are a deep rooted trauma that the past will repeat itself&#8230;.<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Relationships, Money, and Health</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></strong></p>
<p>Everywhere you go someone or something has a viewpoint to give. It could be at the local market as you walk by strangers who are talking, it could be at the checkout stand with all the headlines on the magazines, it could be someone’s positive or undesirable energy, it could be the music that you listen to in your car, or even the words of your loved ones when you arrive home.</p>
<p>Everything, anything, everyone, and anyone are all trying to either intentionally or unintentionally influence you in some sort of way. The downside about all this is that most of humanity has the tendency to accept this influence regardless of what and where it is coming from, and all of this influence gets stored away in the ego which most of humanity lives from.</p>
<p>If you desire and require to live a harmonious Life that entails having what is perfect health, with perfect relationships, and the perfect amount of prosperity, wealth, and abundance that is just right for only you&#8230; then there is only one place to go, there is only one place to receive, accept, and experience the influence from.</p>
<p>Your Heart. It is that simple.</p>
<p>Your Heart already knows all of the answers. Your Heart already kNows what you desire and require. Your Heart already knows what is perfect for you in health, relationships, and success.</p>
<p>But do you listen to the influence and guidance of your Heart?</p>
<p>If you are like most you probably listen to your ego as a master guide, which functions from fear and survival mode. I am not saying there is nothing to be afraid of or concerned about, but I would rather have my ego as a servant so that I follow the unconditional Love of my Heart to get me where I am headed.</p>
<p>When you follow your Heart where the seed of unconditional Love resides and was put there by the Creator of all creation you emanate the powerful vibration of Love that you have all ways been. That vibration will heal and empower you to have the resources, people, and situations all come into your space and time for your benefit. Which creates, adds, and accelerates the momentum to continue you on your way… of what you desire and require in your Life.</p>
<p>It is time…and you deserve it.</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

<p>All the multitude that you believe exists in the world has a common denominator, and that is I. To all intents and purposes, as it is now, I also includes you, as if We are two. In Reality, We are One, and We, the Oneness encompass All, even as there is only I. Metaphorically, I say I have a seat for you beside Me, yet, more accurately, there is no beside Me. There is no outside Me. There is only I, this magnificent burst of light, this all-encompassing love, this simplicity that you make into a puzzle.</p>
<p>Everyone you fall in love with is yourself. Everyone you fall out of love with is yourself. There is no one else here but you and I. More accurately, there is only I, yet you like exchange, and you have not yet quite fully discerned Me or you or however you would like to put it. You don&#8217;t yet fully accept Who You are.</p>
<p>You project yourself outside Me when, all along, you are within Me, not really within, really All of Me.<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;"> </span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></strong><br />
For the most part I rarely watch TV there is not much I care to watch especially the news. The interesting thing that I notice is that if there is something of great importance that I should know about it eventually gets to me so that I am aware of it.</p>
<p>Right now what keeps coming my way is what is going on with our Mother Earth in regards to all the earthquakes and volcanoes. I have heard different scenarios from different people about what is going on and I’m sure in their minds what they speak of is valid and I’m not going to tell you who is right or wrong. What I will do is present a couple of viewpoints for you to ponder…</p>
<p>What if what were going through right now globally was happening without the phone, TV, radio, and the internet being in existence. In other words global communication would be at a much slower pace. Do you think humanity would be talking about it as much with what is going on in other parts of the world? To me because we have the ability to communicate at a much quicker rate than ever before that puts humanity in a heightened alert to either “react’ or “respond” to each current event. I prefer to “respond” as I hear or see events instead of “react” which to me comes across as fear based.</p>
<p>Fear based…</p>
<p>If you are concerned about what is going on globally what have you done personally to shift that energy? Did you do anything yesterday? Today? Will you do anything tomorrow?</p>
<p>It is funny to me that some people are hoping for the best and expecting the worst without doing anything or very little.</p>
<p>Depending on your level of awareness there is something you can do…a simple thought of Joy, a simple prayer of gratitude, touching the ground and honoring the earth for BEing alive, or telling a stranger silently I Love you. Every one of these examples will DO something both globally and for your Self and every one is some form of action that signifies that you care.</p>
<p>That you care…</p>
<p>So do you care? What will you DO to shift the energy and create a better outcome of whatever is happening? We all have the ability to DO something…and if you don’t know how ask someone, but the choice to start is on each of us.</p>
<p>Create Heaven on Earth…if not Now, when?</p>

To live with a Heart based consciousness is to live in Joy and for me that means to have your ego as your servant.<br />

<h2><span style="color: #000080;"> </span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> <strong>by Nick Arrizza M.D.</strong></span><br />
What we refer to colloquially as the &#8220;ego&#8221; is essentially the repository of all the needs that supposedly define who an individual is. I say &#8220;supposedly&#8221; because in fact that is &#8220;not&#8221; who they really are, it&#8217;s only who they &#8220;think&#8221; they are.</p>
<p>For instance how many times have you heard expressions like &#8220;you don&#8217;t meet my needs&#8221;? The &#8220;my&#8221; implies that those needs belong to the individual whose needs they are.</p>
<p>If you look at the impact that such needs have on an individual you will quickly see that they determine how that person&#8217;s entire life will unfold.</p>
<p>In other words they become the central organizing principles around which that person will find meaning in their life. That is because a need&#8217;s purpose is to generate a motivation to get it filled and as long as there is a need it will press the individual into action to fill it.</p>
<p>So as long as there are needs to be met there will be an internal pressure &#8220;forcing&#8221; the individual to meet them&#8230;</p>

<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></p>
<p>I have a suggestion for you… something you can do on a daily basis.</p>
<p>For whatever reason most people don’t consciously know what their natural abilities are or the natural gifts they were born with. But yet as we interact with family, friends, and even strangers it is obvious to us to see their true greatness of who they really are…not what they have become.</p>
<p>Granted some may be happy to what they have become but I am willing to bet many more are still wondering how they can have an even more fulfilling Life.</p>
<p>My suggestion to you is to listen to your Heart for the guidance and look into their eyes as you speak to them and water the seed that has always been there within them. Remind them with your words of guidance of their greatness… or of their gifts, strengths, and talents they were born with. My suggestion is different from “telling” people what to do or who they are. All I am asking you to do is to BE a gentle reminder and allow them to remember on their own… because eventually with the spark you created an “aha” moment will happen for them to remember.</p>
<p>Doing this will benefit all concerned and even have an endless positive ripple effect for all…along with having you BEing conscious and fully aware in the moment of your interaction by recognizing what you see, listening to your Heart, and speaking words of wisdom all at the same time.</p>
<p>What you give is what you will receive… which means what you do for others, others will do for you.</p>
<p>Can you imagine what our world would be like if we all reminded each other of our greatness without agenda and without ego?</p>
<p>Our reality would BE one of freedom filled with an acceleration of Love, Peace, and Joy. What a Life that would BE.</p>
<p>I will do my part…will you? If not now, when?</p>

<p>To be sincere with oneself means not to let his happiness depend on the approval of others. In the context of the quest for bliss, opinions simply do not matter. The only important thing is how to deepen that bliss, and how to spurn any action that obscures it. The judgments of most people are unreliable. Usually they are wrong, because influenced by delusion! &#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #000080;">It is Your Choice</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Al Diaz</span></strong></p>
<p>I hear comments from people like “you always have a positive outlook”, “your always doing good”, or “why do you always seem happy?”. That happens because as often as I can I live in Joy by fulfilling my Heart’s desires.</p>
<p>You see a few years ago I made a conscious effort and commitment to not be involved with drama anymore or getting angry, because in either case I was giving away my power to the situation, experience or to the other person.</p>
<p>Please do understand that I do have some down or uncomfortable moments but as time goes by they are becoming less and less, and shorter in length.</p>
<p>Meditation helped and supported me to find and keep my inner strength, peace, and Love. Having that foundation I then focused on my Heart’s desires to keep my Self moving forward in that direction.</p>
<p>What I have come to realize over the years is that regardless of the decisions or choices I make in any area of my Life I trust my Self that it will all work out and as long as I listen to and follow my Heart it always does.</p>
<p>You know why? My focus is living my Joy and Love that emanates from my Heart.</p>
<p>As I listen to others either in private or in public many are either complaining about something that may or may not have happened or about an experience in the past.</p>
<p>So where is their focus? On all the wrong that has happened to them.</p>
<p>What will that type of focus bring? More of the same.</p>
<p>Whatever you give energy to is what you will bring about in your Life. If your conversations are about how much you dislike your job, negative remarks about your spouse, how the government is all messed up, or perhaps how your overall Life just sucks…you are going to get more of the same! Why? Well…where is your focus? What are you giving your energy to?</p>
<p>Actually you are giving your power away…and giving it away to the drama, anger, and negativity you are experiencing or remembering.</p>
<p>One of the biggest reasons you do that is because you don’t trust your Self to get through the experience…it is what I call living in fear or in survival mode.</p>
<p>I trust my Self more than enough so that I don’t point fingers at anyone or anything, blame or fault anyone or anything, and refuse to be influenced or manipulated into any drama or anger.</p>
<p>I allow my Self to BE different…I live in Joy fulfilling my Heart’s desires.</p>
<p>So can you…just start by making that choice to BE different and follow and listen to your Heart.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">Are you Willing to Change?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">by Louise L Hay</span></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I am willing to change.&#8221;</p>
<p>I know &#8212; you want everybody and everything else to change. Your mother, father, boss, friend, sister, lover, landlord, neighbor, minister, or government official must change so that your life can be perfect. It doesn&#8217;t work that way. If you want change in your life, then you are the one who must do the changing. When you change, then all the other people in your world will change in relation to you.</p>
<p>Are you willing to change?</p>

<h2><span style="color: #333399;">Let  Go</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><a name="al-article">by Al Diaz</a></span><br />
With what experience are you still chained to the past or what  superstition are you still holding onto?</p>
<p>I can remember a time when I would remember and feel the “bad”  or the uncomfortable experiences as equally if not more than the “good”  or comfortable experiences.</p>
<p>It seemed normal to hold on to the experiences that felt  painful either through sadness, regret, or even guilt. I even remember  being told to forgive but never forget…as if holding onto that memory  was going to help me and perhaps make sure it would not happen again.  None of what I stated in this paragraph allowed Joy to flow in my Life  more abundantly.</p>
<p>Yes I had Joy in my Life but it would be interrupted by  thoughts or feelings of the past that I had yet to let go of…especially  the ones that were emotionally charged with hurt and betrayal.</p>
<p>I held on to those experiences because I wanted to make sure  that I would never experience that hurt again…never, ever again!</p>
<p>So I remembered and kept them…and guess what?</p>
<p>Something would trigger that memory and I would relive that  experience as if it was happening right then and there all over again  and bringing up the uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, or emotions just  as it did the first time.</p>
<p>I was doing the opposite of never, ever experiencing that hurt  again! Draining the Joy of the current moment and possibly creating  future moments with even less Joy.</p>
<p>So I ask again… With what experience are you still chained to  the past or what superstition are you still holding onto? It is not  worth it.</p>
<p>Allow me to share what I have done to have much, much more Joy  in my Life.</p>
<p>I acknowledged what transpired.</p>
<p>I looked for the guidance that the experience presented and  then evolved.</p>
<p>Then I proclaimed the experience to BE “For my best and  highest good”.</p>
<p>For the real tough ones to let go I added Ho’oponopono with a  powerful end:<br />
I’m sorry<br />
Forgive me<br />
Thank you<br />
and I Love you<br />
I reclaim the power of that experience for my best and highest  good.</p>
<p>Those two steps have brought me the Love, Peace, and Joy that I  desire or require in my Life and I explain it all in my book “BEing The  Titus Concept”.</p>
<p>We are the ones to shift the energy of our world…we are the  ones we have been waiting for.</p>
<p>For our best and highest good, all ways…<br />

<h2><strong></strong><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Holy Spirit at Work</strong></span></h2>
<p>by Ron  Roth<br />
In recent years, large numbers of books, tapes, workshops, and  seminars have been devoted to previously undervalued concepts such as  intuition, flow, guidance, spiritual healing, empowerment, motivation  for success, and reinventing ourselves and our work. One quality these  concepts share is the fact that, during humanity&#8217;s thrust toward  enlightenment, industrialization, and technology over the past three  centuries, they have all been gradually played down in favor of logical  thinking, rationality, a general speeding up of the pace of existence,  and a disenchantment of everyday life. But these concepts also share a  less obvious characteristic: They are also the work of the Holy Spirit.  If we can begin to understand how the Spirit operates continuously in  our lives, then our daily existence will become less stressful and more  relaxed, filled less with drudgery and more with enchantment, and we in  turn can become more creative and begin to enjoy a new sense of purpose,  fulfillment, and enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Spirit has everything to do with the energies that impel us  into more fulfilled and satisfying lives. It is the divine essence at  the center of our being, but as long as we remain ignorant of that holy  energy, it cannot be fully operative in our lives. Because of this,  until we learn to recognize and then embrace the presence of the Spirit,  we cannot be as productive, creative, and fully alive as God intends&#8230;<br />

<div><strong><a name="al-article"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;">I Allow My Self To BE Different</span></a></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;">by Al Diaz</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">As  experiences play out in this journey called Life understand that in a  moments notice that things can shift and change. But for many it happens  with no conscious effort on their part. To them it just seems that is  how Life is…that Life can happen on a whim. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">Here is a  great example; you go buy a newspaper stand and take a quick look and  read the headlines that were put there on purpose to create some kind of  reaction from you so that you will purchase and read the paper. Whether  you buy the newspaper or not and move on with your day you have taken a  mental and emotional notation in your consciousness. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">And you  don’t do anything about it! </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">The same  thing goes to listening to others while they express their fears and  concerns…and it doesn’t have to be directly at you. It can be something  you just over heard while walking by a conversation. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">Here is a  powerful suggestion that will have you live more consciously and aware,  but most importantly open the door to other possibilities instead of  accepting an uncomfortable experience that you see, hear or feel. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">As you go  through the experience tell your Self “I allow my Self to BE  different”.  So what are you doing? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"> In that  moment you are recognizing what is going on in your Life so that you are  aware enough to pause and say, “I allow my Self to BE different” which  creates the possibility of the next moment(s) to be different rather  than run the course of the uncomfortable situation. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">This all  about empowering your Self and taking an active participation in your  own personal Life…instead of taking it as it comes and thinking this is  how Life is. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">Try it…  and do it often, watch how your Life begins to shift.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"> I allow  my Self to BE different…</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">by Jack  Kornfield<br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">These are  extraordinary times for a spiritual seeker. Modern spiritual bookstores  bulge with texts of Christian, Jewish, Sufi, and Hindu mystical  practices. The many contradictory perspectives we encounter pose one of  the great dilemmas of spiritual life: What are we to believe?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">Initially,  in our enthusiasm for our practice, we tend to take everything we hear  or read as the gospel truth. This attitude often becomes even stronger  when we join a community, follow a teacher, undertake a discipline. Yet  all of the teachings of books, maps, and beliefs have little to do with  wisdom or compassion. At best they are a signpost, a finger pointing at  the moon, or the leftover dialogue from a time when someone received  some true spiritual nourishment. To make spiritual practice come alive,  we must discover within ourselves our own way to become conscious, to  live a life of the spirit.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: x-small;">When we  are faced with a variety of spiritual teachings and practice, we must  keep a genuine sense of inquiry: What is the effect of this teaching and  practice on myself and others? Am I being led to greater kindness and  greater understanding, to greater peace or freedom?&#8230;</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000080; font-weight: bold;">Are  you fulfilling your true destiny?</span><br />
<span> <!-- Al's Leading article --> <!--  --> </span></p>
<div><span><a name="al-article"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: small;"><br />
by Al Diaz</span></a></span></div>
<div><span>Have  you done what your Heart desires? If not now… when? Fulfilling your  inner most desires is what will bring you Joy into your Life. I’m not  talking about what you think you want or you think you need. I am  talking about what it is you feel deep down inside that you desire in  Life.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>In the  last newsletter I mentioned how my brother in-law suddenly passed away,  this morning I woke up finding out that Chile had a massive earthquake,  and as I type this Hawaii is waiting to see what happens if it will get  hit with a tsunami.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>So I  ask again…have you done what your Heart desires? If not now…when?</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I have  no idea where you are at in your Life… but if your Life were to abruptly  change today could you tell your Self “I accomplished most of what I  desired in Life”?</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>When  you fulfill your inner most desires it goes beyond just affecting just  you…it affects all those around you. Even your external reality shifts…  along with your internal well BEing.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Go to a  mirror and look into your eyes and ask your Self “What do you desire in  Life?” and “What will bring me Joy?” and listen to what your Heart  says. Once you have heard the answer(s) take a baby step towards  fulfilling that desire(s) and build upon the action you took.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Eventually  after a period of time it will all come to pass… but even if it doesn’t  at least you can tell your Self that you tried.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I ask  you to give this gift of Life your best… through your thoughts, actions,  words, feelings and emotions. Because you never know…what happens next.</span></div>
<div><span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>For our  best and highest good, all ways…</span></div>
