All around us the world continues to change and we feel like we are standing still. Is this fact or fiction? I think it is a little bit of both. We are who we are and yet we are continuously changing... changing in thought... changing in beliefs... changing in desires. And yet, above it all, we are the same. Now how can that be? We are becoming who we were always meant to be and whom we have allowed to emerge from our inner self. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Our world is not the same as it was yesterday nor is it the same as it was two days ago and yet it is the same. Hmm... I wonder how this can be. Over all things in our physical world are not changing... gravity still operates... cars still take us here and there. So what is changing in our world? Nothing really and yet everything... it is how we perceive our world that is changing. As we grow into ourselves and evolve into who we are yet to become, our inner perceptions of our world will change. Things that once seemed so very important or perhaps made us fearful no longer have the same effect. The sum total of our experiences has made us stronger, wiser and bolder in our desires and dreams. We now also know that we are never alone. No matter what the appearances are in our lives, we have learned that we are always able to move beyond them and achieve our desired goals. After all, appearances are just facts and facts always change. So today... just for today... allow yourself to be open at the top... allow yourself to move into that space in which the dreams of your future bloom. It is a most precious place that dwells within your soul heart. And when you are in that space within you and I am in that space within me, we are One. It is in this inner place where you will realize that which you have desired most. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'I lift my burden from the sea and see now that it was only a dream that I could not understand.'
