If we want to live perfectly happy lives...we must drive out selfish character tendencies such as pride ego vanity jealousy lusts envy and worry. When we learn to live selflessly putting others before ourselves committing to what is noble right and good treating others with love and compassion...thats when true happiness is experienced.

Sacrificing ones selfish characteristics through diligent thought meditation prayer and action gives life to true love and abounding joy.Jason Versey

Centering our thoughts on God begins with what I like to call discovery. That is when we discover a great truth about God we begin to meditate on that truth until it captivates our whole thinking process. That in turn will lead to worship.If worship is based on meditation and meditation is based on discovery what is discovery based on On time spent with God in prayer and the Word. It is sad that many view prayer primarily as a way to get things. We have lost sight of the companion aspect of prayer - of being still and aware of Gods wonderful presence and just communing with Him there.

Yes I run with the hare and hunt with the hounds I pray and I meditate as well. I just believe in the old saying Nothing ventured nothing gained. Why I do this Well there is a deep-rooted imperfection in me which nested in my DNA and causes a linear interference that affects my consciousness. As a result I dont feel at home at any religion and still I believe in God the infinite energy of our creation.

Though we may choose to view them symbolically dreams are actually no more or less symbolic than everyday waking reality. When the images and events dont conform to our view of reality we call them symbols. When they do we call them facts.

If you look within your heart I am here and you are free.

I breathe in the soft saturated exhalations of cedar trees and salmonberry bushes fireweed and wood fern marsh hawks and meadow voles marten and harbor seal and blacktail deer. I breathe in the same particles of air that made songs in the throats of hermit thrushes and gave voices to humpback whales the same particles of air that lifted the wings of bald eagles and buzzed in the flight of hummingbirds the same particles of air that rushed over the sea in storms whirled in high mountain snows whistled across the poles and whispered through lush equatorial gardensair that has passed continually through life on earth. I breathe it in pass it on share it in equal measure with billions of other living things endlessly infinitely.

Every word you speak is a prayer or meditation of reinforcement which creates permanence.

It is good for us to have trials and troubles at times for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearances men give us no credit when they do not think well of us then we are more inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
