BIRTHDAYS AUGUST 12, 2023 CECIL B. DEMILLE, MARTIN SELIGMAN, SUE MONK KIDD PLUS EILEEN CADDY & WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS

MY VOICE IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. It is not just for the chosen few but for all, all, all. It simply depends on the capacity of the individual to hear and receive it, it depends on the faith and belief and understanding of that still small voice which is deep within each one. It is withheld from no one, try to understand and grasp this. In a state of peace and stillness all can hear My voice and when it is heard THE NEXT STEP IS TO OBEY IT.     EILEEN CADDY “GOD SPOKE TO ME”

What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty and above all it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity.  WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS

CECIL B. DEMILLE.  1881-1959.  “The Ten Commandments”.              

  THE GREATEST ART IN THE WORLD IS THE ART OF STORYTELLING.

       THE PERSON who make a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly.

               CREATIVITY IS A DRUG I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.

      IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.

                 THERE CAN BE NO LIBERTY WITHOUT THE LAW.

                                THE PUBLIC IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

           AS A BOY, I used to look upon hieroglyphics as so many wonderful pictures.

SUE MONK KIDD      1948——         “THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES”       

   THE HARDEST THING ON EARTH IS CHOOSING WHAT MATTERS.

          YOU HAVE untold strengths and resources inside. You have your glorious self.

        YOU CAN’T STOP YOUR HEART FROM LOVING, really — it’s like standing out there in the ocean yelling at the waves to stop.

                 I BELIEVE IN THE GOODNESS OF IMAGINATION.

       YOU CREAT A PATH OF YOUR OWN by looking within yourself and listening to your soul, coultivating your own ways of experiencing the sacred and then practicing it. Practicing until you make it a song that sings you.

                THAT’S THE SACRED INTENT OF LIFE, OF GOD — to move us continuously toward growth, toward recovering all that is lost and orphaned within us and restoring the divine image imprinted on our soul.

          I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT PEOPLE’S EYES the first five seconds, they look at you, the truth of their feelings will shine through for just an instant before it flickers 
away.

                     IT’S YOUR TIME TO LIVE, DON’T MESS IT UP.

      IF YOU CAN’T be still and wait, you can’t become what God created you to be.

I REALIZED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don’t even know it.

          IF you aren’t giving people something to talk about, you’ve become too dull.

       EMPATHY IS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS TRANSACTION that the human soul can have, and its accessible to all of us, but we have to give ourselves the opportunity to identify, to plunge ourselves in a story where we see the world from the bottom up or through another eyes or heart.

IF SOMEBODY should ask me, what does the soul do? I would say, it does two things. It loves. And it creates. Those are its primary acts.

      WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO, listen to your deepest self. Love her and be true to her, speak he truth, always.

           MAKE THE WORLD BETTER. TAKE THE MEANNESS OUT OF PEOPLE’S HEARTS.

      STORIES have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.

      STORIES are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.

EMBODIMENT  means we no longer say, I had this experience; we say I am this experience.

         THERE IS NO PLACE SO AWAKE AND ALIVE AS THE EDGE OF BECOMING. But more than that, birthing the kind of woman who can authentically say, ‘My soul is my own,’ and then embody it in her life, her spirituality, and her community is worth the risk and hardship.

        UNRAVELING external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.

      PEOPLE, in general, would rather die than forgive. it’s that hard.

MARTIN SELIGMAN  1942—“Learned Optimism”, “Authentic Happiness” “Flourish” “Learned Helplessness” “Tomorrowmind”

“There are five building blocks that enable flourishing — Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment.” wikipedia

         REACHING BEYOND WHERE YOU ARE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

     I DON’T MIND BEING WRONG, AND I DON’T MIND CHANGING MY MIND.

     WHEN we take time to notice the things that go right — it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day.

         IF you were an optimistic teen, then you’ll be an optimist at 80. People’s reactions to bad events are highly stable.

     RATHER than giving people an inflated view of themselves, we need to give them concrete reasons to feel good about themselves.

       WHAT HUMANS WANT is not just happiness. They want justice; they want meaning.

I BELIEVE it is in our capacity that by then year 2051 that 51 percent of the human population will be flourishing. that is my charge.

      LIFE SATISFACTION ESSENTIALLY MEASURES CHEERFUL MOODS, so it is not entitled to a central place in any theory that aims to be more than a happiology.

                                 LET’S LIFt EACH OTHER UP!
