We must push through
We must push through the doubts, the fears, the illness as well as the emotions of negativity.
We must push through the pain and the illness and decide to stand up and walk to experience the pressure and know that they were just mere illusions awakened from the stream of fear
We must push through until we see the night become clear day
We must push until we see the sun rise, we must persevere
There is an entire army by your side guiding you and steering and routing for you
We must push
We must push to realize our dream to realize our goals
The same goals that lie within us, the same dreams that drive us everyday
The dreams of mental and physical freedom
We must push though
We must through the walls of desperation and begin to exalt that we have arrived
Arrived to the land of the free, a land free of passivity and strife, a land filled with real food and nectar
We must push
We must for ourselves, for our neighbor, for our children, WE MUST!

As the year comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on the people in my life as well as the people I meet everyday and asking myself honest questions like why I care about them. Honestly when I think about it I have to say its simply because of who they are. I’ve realized that the reflection of who they are resonates with me whether I want to see it or not. According to The course of miracles reality is changeless and though everything within and around us seemingly changes, the reality of what they truly are; is the same.
The course of miracles goes onto explain that the temptation is to think that the illusion is real. We do this by saying to ourselves that this person is different from me. Seeing difference in another creates space between you in that person. We no longer become personable, meaning we no longer become aware that we are not separate from another. We are in fact connected to them whether we would like to be or not. The truth is we must see others as we see ourselves, in essence exalt people as we see ourselves. In acknowledging the essence of ourselves in each other we praise the Christ that is within, without separation, or with a spirit of disregard.
If we begin to see the essence of ourselves within each other so much healing can occur! An awareness of healing begins to become awakened in you, causing you to change within yourself and to cause change within another. The presence within each man is Christ, this Christ is perfect! This therefore negates all thoughts that speak of difference.
The ability to heal is not an idea that is unfathomable, miracles are a part of our everyday lives, but because we are caught in the form of things, it is difficult to separate and see that miracles are present in every living moment. It is a simple miracle to acknowledge our original essence in another human being. To do so and to do it consistently is a miracle. Mother Teresa said it best when she said The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”
Therefore, let us make a decision together to see past the form and look at the essence of another through our love for them that reflects through ourselves.
Peace be with you,
Herlay

Living in Real-time

When you think about your life and the great things you want to accomplish one of the first things that comes to mind is some sort of plan. We plan for every major event in our life. This is because we have been conditioned to do so. Before I go further let me say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with planning. Planning ahead of time can be one of the smartest things a human being can do, however this discussion is not of that kind of intellect. I want us to dig deeper and explore spiritual intuition. Intuition is direct perception of truth or fact. It is great to plan great things but there is something even greater…..the ability to do great things in real time. Why not love immediately? Love yourself now, love others now, your charity doesn’t have to begin when you are rich but rather when you begin to tap into the potential of your rich soul. Let us not spend all of our time planning and miss the life we have in front of us. There is a scripture in the bible that puts this into context when it states: “do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.(Mathew 6:34)" We need to display our talents, gifts, and love for each other immediately. With the same quickness as our eye lids bounce back to its resting place after a blink is the same quickness we should adopt when tapping into our infinite well of love when engaging with our brothers and sisters on this planet.  Your service to this planet starts now and not “one day ”. Your love towards yourself starts now and not after a physical change. Your living now on purpose and not coincidentally.

With love, Michael

May He...
May the peace of God surround you
May the joy of the spirit uphold you
May the love of the father overwhelm you
May the presence of his peace speak through you
May the illuminate light of purity shine within you
May the story that pours out of you, lead you
May the inner inclination of the silence guide you
May it be, let it be so....
Be blessed,

What do the holiday’s really mean?
Does the holiday represent giving swapping and red adornments everywhere?
During this time of the year there is so much emphasis on giving and being given to; shouldn’t that mind set go on the entire year?
What exactly is it about the Christmas holiday that speaks to the heart of people more than the rest of the year. I think the spirit of giving comes from the overall or collective consciousness of this world. The overall or collective consciousness are the ideas that come across within the mind that begin to touch each living individual one by one through the expression of that idea. For example, this is the purpose of commercials. Commercials depict an idea and the idea becomes ingrained in your conscious mind and then to your subconscious mind. You will then find yourself at that particular store, or fast food restaurant you saw in that commercial.
The idea of Christmas and giving is of the same concept. If we as a collective society begin to cultivate the energy of love and of peace then love and peace is what will incur upon this world. If we cultivate the energy of giving this too will become a subliminal language that the souls on this planet earth resonate with.
Therefore, I say this holiday season let us cultivate within our hearts (subconscious mind) the energy of giving. This removes the burden of feeling like we have to buy everyone we know a gift that is material only to find that they don’t appreciate it anyway. Let us give this holiday season, a gift that is priceless. A gift that is eternal, this gift is the gift of freedom expressed through love. Buying a gift does not necessarily mean you are showing a person you love them, however the ability to express your sentiment is an expression in itself.
Peace and Love,

I will never give up on you
I will hold on,
Giving up on you, would be
like giving up on myself.
I will never give up on you
You are who I am and I am who you are
I will always be there to see that
You smile, to see that You live,
live a full life, to live full is to
Live with purpose.
I will never give up on you
I will hold on

Choices

Is it true that your choices make the reality of what you see in front of you?
I believe they do. Your choices today do create your tomorrow however, they do not have to effect the result of now. You see the now moment is all that you have, so why not make the most of it. Why not begin to live for today and not for the decision that will be taken later. Although, the fact is true that we are to make decisions that are considered “good”, sometimes the quietness of the moment tells you all that is needed for that moment.
Oprah Winfrey said it best when she said “Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” Life tends to repeat itself, but our decisions do not have to be our ball and chain. You may decide now that your next decisions will be charged and empowered!
The time needed is usually the present time not sometime years later. Taking advantage of time is to practice befriending the concept we know as time. What I mean by this is that we must begin to stop the excuse that says, “I don’t have time”.
I’m sure Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the creator of the X-ray could have said I don’t have time to work on anything that is outside of my 9-5 but he didn’t. As professor, lecturer and husband Mr. Röntgen could have stated that he just wanted to focus on doing his job well. Instead of making this decision Mr. Röntgen decided he was going to work on this x-ray idea on the weekend. What was found was by total accident as he was able to capture the electrical charge, we now know as the x-ray. Mr. Röntgen’s determination and passion to live in the moment now saves lives.
As we continue on this path called life, we must savor the moment and believe in every choice. To believe is simply to become certain in the ability of the divine within you. The divine within is ever-present and ready to create that which you deem imaginable.
Be blessed,
Herlay Maitre

Captivating Thoughts Before They Captivate You


Every thought creates form on some level. There is a difference between positive and negative denial. Positive denial is when you are in your correct state of mind saying to yourself you do not have any strong holds. You are in the process of proclaiming dominion over what is often called “Darkness”. It is the act of claiming all that is good and staying consistent in that mental state.You may have been told you have a sickness or that you has some sort of limiting condition. The act of denying this condition is the act of positive denial. Negative denial comes into play when you try to simply ignore your problems instead of facing them head on. Trying to pretend as if something doesn’t exist when you have the thought buried deep in your mind that it does exist is what is called negative denial. We think positive because we know with authority that what is good is the truth. We do not think positive because there is an absence of negative thoughts. Being honest with yourself and your thoughts is so important for your well being. A spiritual teacher once told me “your addictions are not just out to inconvenience you….it is out to kill you!” . The opposite of death is life. Life is love. One of the words that describe love in an action is the act of being “thoughtful”. It means showing consideration for others. One reaches this state by being contemplative, meditative, and reflecting on the act of giving. Captivate your thoughts before they captivate you. Captivate your thoughts and let your you be you.

Peace and Love

In Love with Someone Special


I’m in love with someone its hard to explain
They make me happy and free from all pain
Loving and giving with perfect perfection
Providing a safe place with all their protection
Gentle with words and forcefully brave
Their love I will carry with me to my grave
I look in their eyes with a mirror every day
This love affair between me and myself I must save.

With Love,
Michael Maitre
