In our world of highs and lows, of winning and losing, of reaching and striving, we are often caught fighting for the knowledge that everything we possess is found within our own being. The understanding, peace, and truth we seek is here, inside of us, waiting to be freed from doubts, fears, and hang-ups. We choose the course we take in life, but within that course we can choose how to navigate and where to stop and learn from lessons along the way. We can choose light or we can choose darkness. We can choose hope or we can choose despair. It is ours to select what will best reveal us and therefore serve us, in the eternal path we are walking.

Amid our hope is found a real and evident power - it is the power to decide our fate. We are ones who walk a mighty line of wisdom, pure light, and vision. But with this line comes a responsibility to be and choose and allow the highest possible. We must face our light with respect. It is the light of all, revealed as One. We must honor our wisdom and use it to facilitate better outcomes for our fellowman. We are all in one journey, together. We must see with vision true and vast, that we all came as brave adventurers.

We are One, true and peaceful, in an array of experiences meant to challenge us and bring us closer to expansion. What does this mean for our daily lives? It means that we can harbor more patience with each other, that we can relieve suffering among our friends and neighbors. It means that we can give and receive in a bright flow of exchange. It means that when we make mistakes or missteps, we can forgive and let go, and allow others to forgive and let go. It means that you and I may seem different, but we are infinitely alike, and will be forever.

It means that we can be One, in truth, and still illuminate this world with our individual lights, talents, and gifts.
