*The Altar*

Today's message was about the Altar, or the place within each of us that we use to go to speak with God. How do we each connect with the divine within? Some of us use meditation; some of us do something that we love, something that ignites passion within us. Whatever we do, in that moment we feel complete bliss, joy and happiness. There is no stress at the Altar; there is no judgment, no expectations. Just unconditional love and guidance. The more I think about it I don't know why I don't spend more time there :)

I think this is an interesting point. If I am living a life that brings me bliss and ignites my passion, I feel that puts me in line with my highest Self, with my Divine Inheritance. But I turn away from this Altar every time I indulge a feeling of fear, anger, or disappointment. I can tell when this happens because my feelings of bliss and joy instantly disappear as if I turned my back on it.

The bible reading is very interesting today. Matthew 5:21-26.

It reminds me of the difference between the Old Testament and the new. In the Old Testament there is a focus on physical sin, like murder, or adultery. But Jesus calls us to be mindful of the thought, not just the action. That it is just as much a disservice to your highest good to simply "think" anger towards someone, or "think" about committing an act that would betray and hurt the ones you love. Thoughts start the action. So to be able to enter the Altar, not only must your actions be pure, but more importantly, your thoughts must be pure as well.

Getting through the material

Well I am working on getting through the material in this program and one thing came to my attention. The Law of attraction states If your vibration is that you are doing a program in search of answers, then you will attract MORE "doing a program in search of answers."

This has been so true in my life this year. I have been searching for a program/class/mentorship that would help me find the answers I was looking for. And I have found one, actually lots of them. But I never moved rom wanting the program to wanting the things in my life that would make the program work.

I am now writing a list of things that I want, and more importantly the feelings that I want. I havn't started this process yet, but I plan to today. Iam hoping that this program will be the one in which I break free from my own limiting thoughts, and begin to use these universal laws for my good and the good of all.
