*** The pressure of Life tests can act like an alarm clock awakening us to act.





From Denny: Sometimes, we can feel like Life is raining on our parade. The goal is to keep looking ahead for the light to guide us - or in funnier terms, "Look for the exit sign!" - especially when you are in a tough life test that feels like you are trapped in a maze. Life puts pressures on us all. It's that uncomfortable pressure that gives voice to the fact we need to move on from where we are because we are not growing. Those pressures act like a loud alarm clock to startle us fully awake to act.

The beauty of this quote is that it addresses being fully conscious, fully present, fully awake. These are the hallmarks of having achieved a deeper level of spiritual development: when you are aware every moment. The entire process of true spiritual development is our everyday conscious mind merging gracefully with our eternal spiritual mind, working in harmony each day.

Hope is a friend. Hope is a vehicle to take us to that greater state of development. Hope delivers us from only a dream into a beautiful reality worth staying awake to enjoy.

* For Hope is but the dream of those that wake. - Matthew Prior

4 Special Quotes to Anchor Your Dreams

*** Views today: 7,242 and Thank You!




From Denny: Two of these quotes are amusing yet true - and two are certainly good advice. Dreams remind us we are spiritual beings living in a physical world. Here we can easily discover our inner Universe at a much slower pace than in the pure spiritual realm. The physical world is governed by temporal Time so we can process our experiences with less confusion. The pure spiritual world can be daunting and downright disorienting for the uninitiated without knowledge or understanding. Take advantage or your Dream Time. Enjoy, learn and grow with it.

One of the ways to accomplish spiritual growth with your dreams is to set your attention upon a particular thought as you go to sleep. Your spiritual mind will take the waking mind's interests and instructions and deliver the messages back to you that you most are in need of at this time in your life. Any of these quotes would be a good starting point.

How is Your Dream Vision Impacted by Life Challenges?

*** Views today: 3,449 - Thank You!



From Denny: Have you ever felt restless and didn't know why? After you ran down a list of "maybe whys" it still didn't make any sense. Too often we have these strong desires pulling us but without the intellectual explanation to help us make sense of it all.

When one life test after another gets heaped onto us we grouse and worry how we will get through it. We always do get through it, even when it was the darkest. Suddenly, we turn around one day when there is a quiet calm lull in our life and we realize that we have arrived at the very place we most desired to be. Our vision was fulfilled. Our vision was fulfilled in a manner unexpected and with far greater turmoil than we would have scripted for ourselves. Yet here we are!

Quote

* Vision doesn't usually come as a lightening bolt. Rather it comes as a slow crystallization of life challenges that we one day recognize as a beautiful diamond with great value to ourselves and others. - Dr. Michael Norwood
