The Stake Of Thought
"It's hard to find original thoughts these days, that aren't someone else's original thoughts. People are terrified of utilizing their own brain as if they will be burned at the stake.
If man has an opinion, he stakes his reputation on being ridiculed, but his conviction must be able to withstand the slings and arrows of those who 'no no' better. He must stick by his guns and be ready to shoot."
~Alexys Fairfield
Channels
"We are all channels of hope, change, love and compassion. We are transporters of burdens. We transport them to others to process and repackage when we need assistance to understand them."

Idols
"Don’t aspire to be like your idols. You have your own talent; it's nobody else's. It's beating down the door of your soul. It’s already brilliant. You don't have to compare it with anyone's. It is meritorious, custom made for you. You are your idol."
~Alexys Fairfield
Pretzels
"People hear what is convenient. Truth is like making pretzels; it’s always twisted and seasoned to taste."
~Alexys Fairfield
No Obstacles
"The truth is whether we are pessimists or optimists, we all have obstacles in front of us. The size of them depends on the size of our strength. It is how we maneuver ourselves around them that counts. No obstacle is insurmountable, it is only our lack of faith that makes them seem that way."

Living Proof
"No matter what we read or what we deem gospel, the living proof is HOW we live."
~Alexys Fairfield
Love Should Never Hurt
"Love should never hurt. It shouldn’t compromise our principles. When it becomes war, then it is not love. Many people feel that they have to fight for love or they won’t get love, but love is not like that. It’s an inventory of our will and desires as they are matched against someone else’s will and desires."
~Alexys Fairfield

How Can You Not?
"How can you not love? Love doesn't ask, it just becomes. How can you not love?"
~Alexys Fairfield
Love Is Not A Battle
"Love is not a battle. While the right to love is worth the fight, fighting others to love isn’t."

About Face

Formulation
"Love never evaporates, it just changes form. It's in the change of form that our true formulation takes place."

The Albatross And The Swan
"Human life has it’s own deadline in which we march forward carrying our badges of honor and disgrace; blood on our hands from inflicted and self-inflicted wounds of the heart.
Understanding that we have an allotted time to complete this cycle before the next, we can do it without fear, anger, animosity or tension. Our soul too is rotating and pulsating, while stretching, reshaping, shedding the albatross and transforming us into peacocks and swans."

Good Work

Awake
"If we stay asleep, we miss the opportunities awaiting. Love too is a wake up call. It gives us the desire to be awake."

Light
"God is immeasurable and cannot be contained within the finite mind of the scientists. Scientists may be able to measure a light as far as amps and wattage, but they cannot measure how it illuminates our soul. This is an individual experience. How can our eternal energy ever be measured except in how we touch people through love."
~Alexys Fairfield
Focus On Love
"Time seems to be a concept that keeps people on edge or disappoints them when they run out of it. If we focus on love, then there is no time, just love. Love transcends time and places us gently in the center of gravity."
~Alexys Fairfield
Timing
"There is no 'right place at the right time or wrong place at the wrong time,' we are where we are supposed to be right now - at this time."
~Alexys Fairfield

Think High
"Happiness can be found by focusing our attention on the outcome. By slowly merging ourselves into the feeling of happiness, we scrape off negative forces and remove all obstacles from our path. Thoughts are the architect of our foundation The higher we think, the higher we build."

The Soul Of Music
"Music is powerfully intimate in that it reaches deep inside of us and carries us through emotional turmoil and elation. It pinpoints time and massages emotion with rhythms and flashes that transcend now.
Music has a vibrant soul of its own. It's an act of aliveness that forever connects us to the electricity of our beingness and suspends us in that place in the sky where life interprets the song of our heart."

No Death
"There is really no death, only life in tangible and intangible contours."
~Alexys Fairfield
Beautiful Lies
"We are constantly cannonaded with false ideals about beauty and perfection - enough to anesthetize us. The time we spend trying to build self-esteem and acceptance of ourselves, is rapidly undercut by society’s glimmering billboard to be 'perfect.'
When we are not happy with ourselves, we choose false solutions to mask our insecurities and disillusionment. While we can entertain beautiful lies that we all come to know, they still are a stranger to our real sense of identity and purpose."
~Alexys Fairfield

Foreign Places
"Travel to foreign places. Go someplace you have never been. Explore the culture, mix with locals, take photographs, try a new food, walk in someone else’s shoes. Look in the mirror of another face and you will find that there is no such thing as a foreigner.
You will see a deeper reflection of yourself that knows no color, no creed, no religion, no race and no language barrier. The boundaries of a nation may cause indignation, but there is a place where we are all the same, where the road doesn't divide or the sky change color and it's knowing that wherever we are on the map, we are all a part of the amazing starscape.
Each one of us singularly brings light - land to land - ocean to ocean - heart to heart - love to love. The stars all glow as one. We all bring the light no matter where we are born. We bring the light."
~Alexys Fairfield

The Count Down
"Wake your feathers with the blessings of the empyrean angels and lift off. Trademark the sky with your name and fly into the no--fly zone of invisible skies?
The singularity of your life is waiting for you to take hold of it. Sign your life. Don’t count your days. Make your days count by your acts of compassion and love."

The Edge
"Love gives us the edge when we are falling over the cliffs of life. It leads us on a path of weightless adventure to our true selves, fighting all that would stand in it’s way. Love is the powerful force that keeps us alive - even after death. Love will knock down doors, part the seas, walk on water and shake the stars from the universe to find us."

Lying Full Time
"Lying is a full time job; a strategical operation. Not only do we have to keep track of the logistics, time, place, and people; we also have to pay attention to the five W’s - Who, What, When, Where, Why and How."

Dimensional
"Without perspective in life we are nothing more than one-dimensional surfaces - without movement or depth. Perspective is an art, but we don’t need a brush to capture it - just an open mind and an open heart."

Readjustment
"Darkness is not death and death is not darkness. It’s a matter of allowing more light into our consciousness. It’s holding on to preconceptions that causes blindness. By embracing the dark, our eyes readjustment to the light."
~Alexys Fairfield
Love & Wisdom
"I think everything - everything is an offshoot of love in some form. If we have love we can open ourselves up for wisdom. It is a love and understanding of life that creates wisdom. Without love, there is no wisdom. We can survive without wisdom, but we can't survive without love. A lack of love will eventually become an emotional and spiritual tsunami that destroys everything in it's path. The world needs love to contain those pending tsunami's."
~Alexys Fairfield
Confrontation
"Everything we are confronted with challenges our ability to first ascertain the truth."
~Alexys Fairfield
Rotation
"We are constantly on the verge of discovering our true nature. By on the verge, I mean that as soon as we discover it, it adheres itself to us and pushes us toward more change. Evolution is ever changing and when we grasp that concept, we continue to rotate towards God consciousness and light imbues from our eye sockets."

The Dream Awakening
"We are all stars crashing into consciousness - the dream awakening - the love illuminating - rodeo riders of the moon and the dazzling sunsets on the horizon of a life well lived. We are poets writing the sonnets of our lives so we must keep love alive."

Soul Writer
"To say that Soul mates exist is to say that we are incomplete as we are. Yes, we are works in progress. Yes, we are constantly chipping our marble into masterpieces. We all exist to bask in love completely.
If we think that a piece of us is missing, we will never be happy - never. Whether we have one partner or several over our lifetime, they are all here to teach us something about ourselves. We are never through discovering who we are. Our love story is not written by a nom de plume, it is written by us."
~Alexys Fairfield

A Traction
"Attraction is embedded in our genetic code. While scientists can’t seem to put their finger on the pulse of attraction, we know when our heart skips a beat.
We read about it, we see it in films, we hear about it, we emulate it, we create it, we love it, we hate it - but we can’t get away from it. It is an invisible thread that binds us to each other and keeps us in place, bearing the weight of our Souls against the desire of our hearts."

Skywriting
"Know that if you give love, there WILL be someone to receive it. When you love, you are opening your heart to life's treasures and giving the thumbs up to contentment. So love, love, love until it writes your name across the sky. Love gives you the sky when you give it your heart."

Then Is Now
"Could today be considered the afterlife? This moment that we have created right now is the best afterlife anyone could hope for. This is the moment that we feel alive, vibrant and connected to the stars. Today IS the afterlife. Don’t postpone joy. Live today. Love today. Be alive today."

The Mirror
"Consciousness is way beyond words - and way beyond that. It lies on a snow capped mountain peak and a dark smoky cavern; the edge of the clouds and the center of gravity; on a delivery bed and on a deathbed - a child who speaks his first breath and a man who takes his last in a way that echoes the riddle of the sphinx. Consciousness is the mirror to your Soul."

Be Good, Be Love
"In all of the goodness that we want for ourselves, does it ever occur to us how to be a good person? The kind of person with ethics? The kind of person who exercises kindness. Compassion. Care. A cultivator of peace and good will.
Living the good life is living our highest selves. Living to make a difference in what we do and how we do it. Putting a gentle touch on our relationships, finding the silver lining in others clouds and making sure that all of our actions are acts of love."

Love Is A Multi-tasker
"Love can smite us to our knees - knock us off our feet - drive us out of our head and send us to our grave in one fell swoop. It has it’s hand in every part of nature. If it weren’t for the power of love, we wouldn’t be here.
We were born from the black coal of darkness into the white light of love. Love travels a long journey to find us - through hell and high water - through icy blizzards and scorching deserts. It wants to be with us. It wants to become us. We are the only ones stopping it."
~Alexys Fairfield

In Between
"Meditation is not just about thoughts; it is about being aware of our inner and outer worlds simultaneously. In essence, venturing outside of our heads to explore consciousness beyond the physical universe - and most important - to control our breathing. Meditation solidifies the connection between mind, body and spirit - between consciousness and unconsciousness."

Engage In Exchange
"It is in thinking for ourselves that we learn to engage in the exchange of information, the process of sharpening our mental utensils and preparing to gormandize the banquet of cogitation.
Thinking is the ability to chew and swallow, accept and reject what is presented and cogently argue a point while ascertaining our relation to that thought.
It’s the synergy of conception that makes us think. If we can’t meet a thought on common ground then we have missed the point."

No Limits
"Imagine what we can do if we didn’t limit our abilities to grow? When we are aligned to our nature, we are able to augment our environment. While we shouldn’t spread ourselves too thin, we should spread out and find that which makes us happy. That activity which etches a smile on our days."

Take 5
"Take five minutes for yourself everyday to contemplate your life, reflect your thoughts and contribute to the world. Think of what you can give and what you can do to improve your relationships, hone your people skills and operate on your deepest plane. Those five minutes could teach you the difference between “I” and “we,” and that there really is no difference between “you” and “me.”"

Catching Fire
"If schools were to practice multiple intelligences, imagine how much more successful our students would feel? If more teachers were inspired to extract the pulp from a lesson plan and thus the pulp from the students, imagine how much more successful our teachers would feel? Let us encourage our teachers to be inspired so that they may pass inspiration on to their students so that their students can catch the same fire that makes them feel alive."

Movement
"Life is a continual stream of consciousness and whether we consciously move with it, we are moved by it. It is in the movement and how we stretch our minds and Soul into the eternity."

In The Joy
"People are convinced that somehow if they win an award that they are validated for this existence - for reaching a certain status. What do awards do but make people compete in the most despicable ways to the point where they are not being voted for, they are being voted against.
While it's certainly nothing wrong with the idea of awards, the ego distorts the idea into a knock-down, drag-out competition. We tell ourselves, we deserve it, no one else was better than us. We have to feel the joy in creating the work and even more joy when other people enjoy our work. Joy is its own reward."
~Alexys Fairfield
Such A Paradox
"The paradox of love: We have to hang on to it to give it. Not possess it, but express it. Within this paradox, love finds us right where we want to be - between dreaming and awakening."
~Alexys Fairfield
A Catalyst
"People don't shun love more than they think love has shunned them. Love is an electricity making it's way through the sinews and veins that power our heart. With it, we can do anything - we are weightless. Without it, we feel the weight of the world crashing down on us.
Love is a catalyst that propels us into foreverness. It is the poem of life that spills it rhymes onto our pages. We express that in which we want to love or that in which we love. Anyway we look at it, the heart writes it's own poem about love while love continues to beat down the path to every heart."

Fly By Night
"Life is a terminal. People fly in and out of our lives for various reasons at various times, but before they fly we can at least hang on to what they bring us - the joy of knowing them. Hopefully in reaching our final destination, we will embrace those we love and forget the hassles of going through the airport."
Put Love Into The World
"If the spiritual path can be broken down into simple terms, it is not complicated. It is not found in books, temples, churches, monasteries, ashrams or a mountain top in the Himalayas. The spiritual odyssey can be boiled down to five words - put love into the world. It’s simple. So if we are concerned about what to do, when to do it or how to go about it, just remember, put love into the world."

Rising Above Pain
"For a man to rise above his own agony and still be able to give love to his fellow man is definitely a man who knows God. For all of the pain and suffering we endure, we are building our compassion to make others comfortable in their pain and we can take comfort in knowing that."
God Ajar
"It's the misinterpretation of God that puts man in the red and derails us from our life's purpose. It's not about who can knock the most soldiers down, who can proselytize, or who can take a supersonic jet to heaven - it's our commitment to a super high way of living - the way of love.
It's about embracing our brothers and sisters and helping them up the ladder in their quest to be free of this mortal coil.
If we only put faith in the words of others, we won't discover the truth for ourselves. Religion chokes the very life out of God and limits it to the page. God can be contained to a page as much as we can contain the wind - ocean - or the sky in a jar. It simply doesn't do it justice.
Let the spirit fly off the page, run across your face, glide into your eyes, trickle down to your ears, beat a path to your heart and take residence in your Soul. That's where it does it's best work - molding you into who you are."
~Alexys Fairfield
Fear Of God
"We can't learn the secrets of life, love and behavior at their deepest core from a book. Books are only stepping stones to open discussion, to bridge the gap of understanding and to perhaps offer a different perspective. The main purpose is to cause us to discover the deeper truths within ourselves, to face ourselves unflinchingly and to have no fear in what we uncover.
The fear of death keeps many in a sort of religious quicksand. Even though they may not agree with what is spewed from the pulpit, they are immobile because they think they will be castigated for going against God. Many zealots preach love when their bloodshot eyes are bulging with the fear of God.
~Alexys Fairfield
Winging It
"Inside us, we carry all the connections to the cosmos - the sparks that lead the way to the stars. We are hot glowing particles struck from a larger mass of heat trying to reignite with our spirit.
As we sail across the glorious sky, we are waking up, shaking off the moss, tightening the reins, loosening constraints and unlocking the secret to the wind. With our heads up and our wings high, we fly into the sky's visage where the edge of darkness explodes into prismatic splashes of destiny and the radiance welcomes us home. "
Pearls Of Love
"We must act from love in everything we do. We must breathe love and let it begin in the stillness of our being and leave everyone with love. Have faith that on some level love is getting through the crevices of those unreachable Souls with hate in their hearts and believe that acts of love will supersede acts of violence.
We are all seeking the pearl in the oyster of life - that which gives our Soul luster - something beautiful to possess in the worthwhile pursuit of happiness and living to our full potential. One day we will shed our own shell and leave our own pearls of love in the world."

Elevation
"When we speak of personal freedom and civil liberties, we are not only talking about how we can improve our quality of living, but using our knowledge to help elevate the consciousness of the people. And by elevating ourselves I don't just mean reaching up, but reaching out and around."
