Lightbulb The Messiah's Handbook

If any of you have ever read Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah , you're familiar with this. If not, read the book. These are things to think about - things to meditate on. I think I'll post one of these every once in a while. If you want them all, ask me. I'd love it if you'd post your thoughts and responses to them. Here's the first one:

A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion....this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons..

Please do. I think you would love the book. It's one of the ones that you can think into it as much as you want. I absolutely adore that book. *happy sigh* The beginning is the best part, IMO.

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.

You are never given a wish without being given
the power to make it true.

You may have to work for it, however.

<b>The simplest questions are the most profound.
Where were you born?
Where is your home?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change.

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain
you don't have anything to learn from them.

You're always free to change your mind
and choose a different future, or a different past.

The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
