When we return our conscious awareness to God, to our ever-present spiritual nature, we partake of the joy that the conscious contact with God brings. Joy is the link between God and the soul.

Any time we come to our spiritual practice for some reason--to find peace, to get enlightened, or to solve a problem--it is contrary to the true spirit of meditation. Such thoughts are about the future. Meditation is now, a radical return to joy now.

Faith is necessary. One must believe in the promise of freedom because the spiritual way of life requires us to swim against the current of conformity-the message of the world that says that material possessions, fame, and relationships will bring us happiness and security. We must be interested in seeking another way to break free from this illusion.

Thinking mind works with ego to create a separate identity that covers the true freedom of the soul. Meditation practice is necessary to free us from this bondage.

Be free from small thinking. Lose the word "can't" and all that is associated with it. Live in divine possibility. The promise that "with God all things are possible"includes right where we are right now.

What is your dream? What would you do in life if you were not afraid to do it? If you believed that you were connected to the Source of possibility, the source of the dream, and the means to achieve it?
