Inspiration.
The action or power of moving the intellect or emotions.
Some people are inspired by fear. “If you don’t do your (homework, job) I will (flunk, fire) you.” But fear is such a terrible way to inspire others. They never do more than is necessary. Some are inspired by their parents, movie stars, sports figures, people that they want to become. This is a better way providing the inspiring person is a good example. However, the best inspiration is Divine inspiration. Look back at the famous people of the past and you will see Divine inspiration at work in their lives. Ask yourself: “What inspires me?” If you can’t answer, look for your own personal vision, the one thing that keeps you going when everything else is in chaos. Look for love.
“No one was ever great without some portion of divine inspiration.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, writer and orator 106-43 BC

Within the Near Death Experience are the seeds of Man’s understanding of the universe, of love and of Oneness. For it is in the Near Death Experience that man releases his preconceived opinions, and allows the facts to come forward and be seen. It is as though he pulls aside a curtain of his own misconception and sees for the first time a truth that has always existed, a truth that is so profound, so persuasive, so undeniable that the experiencer’s life can never be the same.
The Truth of Oneness: that all men are part of the whole, not just six billion individuals, standing alone and apart, but six billion parts for making up the whole, the One, sharing and joining in the responsibility of life on this planet. Four billion people needing to work together, for the good of the world, not in opposition. We can accomplish our paradise on earth by cooperation, not by war, hate or deception.
The Truth of Love: that Love is the greatest strength of all. For Love given is Life received. For Love creates an environment of Love, cooperation and trust. It is Love given, that turns hate and mistrust into mutual respect and beneficial cooperation. There are nations in the world that have that Love. The Love results in open borders, free trade, open, honest exchange between people. There are nations that practice hate. The newspapers are filled with their terror, killings, bombings. There are two choices that are ours, and we must make a decision. NDEer’s learn or “know” the power of Love, and their lives change. It is a lesson that the world desperately needs, for we have led ourselves to the brink of our own destructions, by our own practices of greed and distrust and our “me-first attitudes”.
The Truth of Life: Death is not the end, but a transition to another Life. Think of the horror, the dread, that mankind has given itself, by believing that death is the end. How many millions of lives have been spent in grief for the “lost” loved ones, that have never been lost? Let us give our cooperation and support to these seeds that have been planted by the Near Death Experience. The experience is a gift. It is perhaps the beginning of a new life, not only for the Experiencer, but for our society and possibly the World.

Focus.
A state or condition permitting clear perception or understanding.
Focus is selective perception. There are more things in this world than we can possibly learn in one lifetime. People annoy us with ads, wanting our attention for numerous reasons. But we can’t learn it all, do it all, experience it all, we must be selective on how we spend our precious time. As you choose those things you wish to focus on, ask yourself if it will serve you and others. Focus also allows us to go deeper, see clearer into those things we wish to learn. Start today making a list of your activities, separating those that really serve you and others from those that don’t. Then focus on the ones that do. Don’t become a jack of all trades, but a master of none.
“Focus on the journey, not the destination.
Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
I searched through rebellion, drugs, diets, mysticism, religions, intellectualism and much more, only to begin to find…that truth is basically simple—and feels good, clean and right.
Chick Corea
‘You are accepted!’….accepted by that which is greater than you and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask the name now, perhaps you will know it later. Do not try to do anything, perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything, do not perform anything, do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted.
