Overflowing

"Gratitude opens our heart for the vistas and skies of our destiny. When we are grateful, we are at our purest state to accept the gifts from the universe.

I am grateful for the new day God has given me.
I am grateful for the old day God has taken from me.
I am grateful for the love that fills my heart.
I am grateful for the peace that fills my Soul.
I am grateful that I can sleep at night.
I am grateful for the dream that never sleeps."

The Battle

"What is the ultimate fight? Is it battling an addiction? A behavior disorder? Grappling with the ego's itinerary versus the Soul's travel plans? Whatever it is, does not compare to the knockdown, drag-out fight between our will and God's will. Now that's the real ultimate fight. The one against ourselves."

Love Thy Neighbor

"Is it possible that we are so entwined in our lives that we don't see our own behavior? How many veils do we each have to shed before getting to know someone?

The shortest distance between two lines is a neighbor. It's a line difficult to walk in this building without feeling like you are trespassing."

Reconnect

"There is something distressing about human beings slated for auction. You don't have to buy them with money, just by saying the right words that they desperately want to hear.

The IM generation seems to be missing the boat. With all the technology at their disposal, they are burning themselves out and craving something much more substantial, something deeper -- a reconnection with their spirit."

Twitching

"Why are so many teens willing to trade their innocence and succumb to the mystical power of MySpace?

Under the euphemistic guise of logging on to "discover friends," teens find themselves confronted with what is quickly becoming the crack whore of the internet. A place that snorts them into a black hole of bad decisions and dire consequences that leave them twitching on the side of the superhighway."

It's Watching

"We've all heard it a million times, "What goes around comes around." When many people think of karma they think of it as a tempestuous storm raining down on them with brute force. What many may not know is that karma is a neutral energy. It does nothing to provoke us. It just sits quietly in the corner and watches our every move and boy does it ever watch. It's supernal vision is supremely accurate. It sees everything. It even sees through things like x-ray vision. And it will never need eye glasses. Ever! It has perfect 20/20 vision. Perfect!"

Fear

"While it is true that most fears can be traced to the mother of all fears; fear of death, it is still possible to live without fear if we shift our consciousness. The biggest fear is the decision to stay in the fear. The greatest anxiety is the decision to face the fear. If you play the outcome in your mind first, you can overcome the fear."

The Mirror

"The mirror distorts our image
of who we really are?
If our true beauty were
reflected in a piece of glass,
we would only be one-dimensional.
It is that same
glass that can cut like
a thousand swords and
julienne our Souls."

Ageless

"Our Souls are ageless.
Our spirits free.
Our reason for living is to
break the chains of
spiritual limitations.
We each fulfill our
contracts with fate.
Our bodies have an
expiration date that
is unchangeable and
our Souls migrate to
their next sonnet.
Souls don't celebrate
birthdays in years,
they celebrates them
in lifetimes."

Reap Belief

"Believe: in Love; Faith; Miracles; Hope; that you will reach your Goals; that you will realize your Purpose; that all you are is much better than all you see; that there is Light at the end of the tunnel; that you are Worthy to live the best Life that God has bestowed upon you."

No Means No

"Why can't we say, No? Is it because we want to be nice? To be liked? Loved? How can we be strong for others if we keep saying, Yes? If we keep saying, Yes, to the same person, it takes away their ability to be strong and their ability to hear, No. If we say, Yes, to many people, it takes away our ability to be strong."

Finding God

"You don't have to go outside of yourself to go inside of yourself. Finding God is like learning how to drive. It may take you a while to navigate the twists and turns, but once you master it, you master your fate. Then you can drive anywhere."

Group Scream

"Blogs are for the people. They are for you. They are about you. It's about life and death. Living before we die, not dying before we have a chance live. Blogging exhibits the tender mercies of real people, with unpredictable lives, unscripted drama and unforeseen trauma, searching for answers to life's quagmires and struggling to fit the puzzle pieces together. Bloggers are the unsung heroes, the eyes, ears, nose and throats, of the underground. The pulsating heartbeat, the beatniks of a new generation. The sounding board of a scream. Many screams."

Truth Seekers

"We are true seekers. Truth seekers. At every given moment we're walking the plank into the unknown. As we venture forward, closer to our truth, the plank gets shorter. We are not afraid to fall. We are not afraid to dream. We are not afraid to live. We are not afraid to dive."

Who Are You?

"We all have the ability to listen to God. Instead of life beating us into the ground, we can turn it around and beat life. Use the battles as stepping stones to victories. If you can learn one thing each day that will make your life richer, learn that thing. If your path is leading you astray, change course."

Think Big

"We come into this world with a hefty inheritance of God's love. The legacy of that love is not passed down to us to keep. We must spend it. However you want to be remembered depends on what you do now? If you want to be remembered for something great, do something greater than you ever imagined.

Don't limit yourself to small thinking. Think big. Think far. Think wide. Think high. Think deep. Think out of the box. Think out of the universe. Think everlasting. Leave your own legacy. You have the power to leave the kind of impression that you want by being aware of everything you think, say and do."

Melancholy Baby

"There is a lot of sadness in the world.I see it often when I look into the eyes of someone and nothing is looking back at me. I hear it in the broken voices that speak the truth of their lives in mutated tones.I see the emotional scars that never heal. I see the spoke missing from the wheel. I hear the noise that a flat tire makes when it rides on its rim. It may cause tears, but a tear doesn't last forever. A tear evaporates into a life. A tear makes a life strong."

Slow Cooker

"God is like slow cooker. If we want something, we have to give up all attachment to it and surrender it. We do the best we can with what we have and turn the solution over to God. If we feel that our hands are tied, God has a better solution than we do. We may not be able to see it at first, but we have to trust that it is there. And guess what? It's usually even better than we expect."

Senseless

"To many people God doesn't make sense, but when you delve deeper into life's cycles, you will begin to see that everything and everyone has a season. We are all Souls who have come to earth to learn certain lessons. Earth is a continual classroom. When disasters happen, it shakes everyone up and makes us think about our own mortality. God doesn't comfort us to make us comfortable, he comforts us to make us comforters. We must comfort that in which is uncomfortable in someone else."

~Alexys Fairfield

Celebrities Versus God

"In Hollywood the celebrity is God. We watch every step they take, hear every breath they make. We want to be them. They live a life we all want to live. It's part of the fairytale and our inability to accept our mundane existence. If we saw God face to face, we would probably overlook it because God is not as famous as Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Celebrities are more famous than God -- until they die, then its back to their original audition."

~Alexys Fairfield

The Real Secret

"People tend to latch on to superficial concepts to get happy and they tend to believe them for a short while, but those concepts don't bring real happiness, wealth, a house the hill, an exotic sports car or peace of mind. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the ills of society or man's inhumanity to man and thinking positive won't cure those, but if we make a conscious effort to alleviate the pain of another Soul, offer a little solace in those formidable moments and reconnect the human circuitry that has been severed by circumstance, maybe there won't be as many people sleeping on sidewalks or starving to death.

The bread of kindness may not fill the stomach, but it fills the heart and makes starvation a lot less painful. Until we come together as a human race and not give material possessions center stage, no amount of positive thinking will propel us to spiritual freedom. We have to be the change. When we change ourselves, our world will change."

~Alexys Fairfield

Spiritual Real Estate

"There is more to us than meets the eye. We are more than a plethora of nerve endings coming together in a human body. We are pre-plotted land in the landscape of humanity and prime real estate in the universe. Our investment in kindness causes an appreciation that makes our spiritual property value skyrocket. Fate and faith is what gives our universal power the green light to make us into the mansions that we are and the panorama we can become."

~Alexys Fairfield

Karmic Tapestry

"Could we be regenerated souls? Some people believe that when we are born, our soul already has plans for us; an inevitability that includes circumstances how and where we are born, the type of person we will be and the types of persons we will meet before this experience is over, all interwoven into a karmic tapestry."

You Are The Greatest Love Story

"Can we act in the highest
way possible to avoid
not doing anything to
be sorry for?
Yes.
We can start by doing
everything in the name of God.
We can offer assistance
where it is needed.
A kind word,
a helping hand.
Anything.
Just by doing everything
in the name of God
means that we are
opening our hearts
to pure love.
You are the greatest
love story.
You exist because
God loves you."

Don't Sell Yourself Short

"Who is the rightful owner of our soul?
Is it us or is it God? We are the lease holder of our souls. God is our landlord. Before we are returned back to God, we gather experiences that last several lifetimes. When God first considers our applications, our soul's rental history is reviewed, references checked, and our spiritual bank accounts verified for funds."

Whirlwind Of Passion

"We are all dreams of passion trying to connect the poetry of our beingness through love, God and enlightenment. Life is a whirlwind of passion in which we blossom into the consciousness that stirs our Soul and illuminates who we are. Live each day as if it's your first -- and make it last."

Microwave Generation

"Why is it that every time I am in the Express Line with one item, someone behind me with more than the allotted amount is complaining that the line is moving too slowly? Isn't that just like the human consciousness? We have become what I call, the microwave generation.

We want it all now. We can't wait for our consciousness to cook slowly and we end up getting it raw in the middle and slightly cooked on the sides; hence like it is in a microwave."

The Cycle

"After any destruction is new construction. Unfortunately we can't bring the dead victims back to life. Out of the survivors, many people will get new jobs, renewed hope and faith; bringing the death of their spirits back to life. It's the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

We are on a treadmill of experiences; some happy, some sad; all unforgettable. When we fall off, we have to jump back on. In doing so, we develop a resolve, an inner strength, a spiritual deliberation of God's plans."

Freedom Of Speech

"I have been warned. Like a digital watch owner, my days were numbered. Apparently I'm about to be "exposed." As what I don't know? Whatever it is, I did it! Whatever it isn't, I'll do it! Isn't exposure the cornerstone of publicity?

Just in case anything happens to me, remember that I love you all; especially my exposer. I got an email yesterday in response to yesterday's post; an inspirational quote by Thoreau.

The email read, "Stop lying or I will expose you."

If you're going to expose me for anything, expose me for the truth. Whether you believe it or not, it's my truth and that's the glory of blogging.

This is my speakers corner and in speakers corner, anything goes. If what I choose to post offends you, then click to the next blog and read something that won't make you think or elicit a response.

If I believe in being read and you believe in being blue, then go where you can be blue and let me be read. The spectrum of colors exist for a reason. If you want to expose something, expose God in your heart."

Spoon-fed Words

"Having been spoon-fed the dictionary as an infant, I tapped into my connate adoration for words. It taught me at a very young age that the mind is both receptive and expansive if you feed it well.

I officially became a linguaphile. I loved the sound and feel of words and how words stretched the mouth and the imagination. It was soon after that I began putting my own selection of words together, forming sentences, phrases, pages and pages of prose; some of which result in blogging.

We are in this world, but we don't have to succumb to life's rough edges. Those edges give us smoothness, cause, concern, wisdom, madness, sanity -- life."

Fish Fight

"Since when did human life become so disposable? It is one thing to love God to the point where you feel loved and protected, but when that love turns to destruction then I question whether it is a love for God or something else disguised as God?

Have some of us lost our sense of purpose? Our sense of God? If certain individuals are living for God and all God has to offer, then how could those same individuals kill for God, essentially killing the God force itself? It is because of God that we live and breathe.

Just like a dog turning on its master, biting the hand that feeds it, God, or the interpretation thereof, obliterates the very thing it created.

Nature often holds a mirror to our behavior. When a Siamese Fighting fish looks at its own reflection, its characteristic aggressive responses are readily elicited by its own reflection in a mirror placed outside an aquarium. Could this be what's happening to us?

Are we intimidated by our own reflection? Afraid of what we see? Is the reason there is so much dissension and debate over God because man is in a quandary as to who God really is?"

Go Deep

"Getting to know yourself
is like taking a journey
into a vast ocean.
The disquieting motion
and silence can be
dark and solitary.
As you travel deeper
into the water,
you will see a life
you never knew existed;
a life that you crave;
a life where your soul
is unchained.
Get to know your
own truth
and rise in the sun.
You won't be the same."
