“Nothing is real and eternal, — nothing is Spirit, — but God and His idea. Evil has no reality. It is neither person, place, nor thing, but is simply a belief, an illusion of material sense.“

-Mary Baker Eddy Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures 71:1

Daily Wisdom from CoffeyTalk.com

“Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. Neglect nothing; the most trivial action may be performed to God.” -Angelique Arnauld

Perfection is sometimes given a ranking like a “perfect 10″ in gymnastics, or a 6.0 in a figure skating competition. But think about it. A lot of people can do a cartwheel, a lot of people can ice skate. These are not extraordinary things. But the way that they are executed in these world championships are! Thats how we can have something to aspire to. Those athletes are the role models for perfection in that sport. And yet, those athletes always see room for improvement in some way or another. So, in life, as we aspire to perfection in our spiritual world we have role models, too. We’d probably give Gandhi or Mother Teresa a “10″  but, they would be the first to say that they were not perfect! Part of our spiritual growth is recognizing that theres always more to learn. -Lissa Coffey

Timely: we all have our beliefs and of course I am studying mine right now to welcome them, and what the fear, back into my being. Reunification I guess!

From: Abraham-Hicks

“There are many twists and turns in your road, but you must have your Guidance System activated consciously so that you can tell, when you twist and turn, how you’re wanting to correct yourself—because, of course, things are going to happen—of course. Something’s going to sneak up on you that you didn’t see coming because you weren’t aware that it was active in your vibration. Sometimes, stuff got activated in your vibration when you were really little, when you were living with somebody else whose activation was very strong, and you didn’t even know it got activated until you got old enough that you started watching the manifestational response.” - Abraham

Today’s Card of the Day is the Ace of Wands - Angel Paths

…and of course why not have another timely card today affirming new beginnings and new life. Each moment is a chance to recognize new life for we are each creating and being reborn in the moment. Physically we are shedding cells and regenerating. We actually have new organs every few months. A brand new body every few years. Definitely moment-to-moment rebirth happening there.

We are also given the most amazing of opportunities in each moment. For instance, we can look at what is in front of us (whether good or bad) and say “This is me!” and limit ourselves to that. OR we can recognize that what is in front of us is merely the sum of who we WERE and where we HAVE been in the past. We can either focus on what is and continue to recreate that for ourselves OR direct our INTENT elsewhere and create what it is we truly desire.

Isn’t free will absolultely amazing??

Thanks for reading, JD

Timely: well with the class I am taking right now, and the majority of my thoughts being focused on finding out what I am creating “by default”, I would say that this timely indeed! Exploring reality creation is quite an interesting journey for me. I’m finding out my deepest beliefs and welcoming them back into my being. Becoming whole!

Earthbound DailyOM

Striking the right balance between our physical and spiritual aspects is one of the most challenging aspects of existence. We are dual beings by nature, spiritual entities bound to earth by physical bodies. In our lifetimes, we are charged with the duty of nurturing and tending both with equal devotion and love. Yet while both aspects of the self are deserving of honor and respect, there is a tendency for people who are more spiritually focused to ignore, avoid, or dismiss their bodies. Similarly, many individuals are entirely ensconced in the carnal realm and pay no attention to the needs of the soul. In both cases, an adjustment is in order. We are whole only to the degree that we embrace both sides of our beings.

If the soul is the inward manifestation of our consciousness, the body is the living, breathing expression of that consciousness. The physical self provides the home in which the spiritual self takes root and flourishes. Just as we must tend to the seed of the soul to ensure that it grows strong, so, too, must we care for the protective shell that is the body to make certain it is capable of playing its role in our development. Though there will no doubt be times in our lives when we feel more comfortable focusing on the spiritual self or the physical self, denying the fundamental importance of one or the other can lead to ill health, emotional distress, and a sense of incompleteness. Both facets of the human experience play a vital role in our well-being.

The body and the soul are the yin and yang of our current reality. They are, at this point of human evolution, irreparably bound together, and many spiritual teachers agree that the body is one of the greatest vehicles through which to access the soul. In fact, many believe that our spirit has chosen to be embodied as an essential part of our spiritual development. Consequently, it is the responsibility of each person on the planet to forge a marriage between the two, so that these disparate aspects bring out the best in each other, creating a vibrant, dynamic, and workable whole.
