The Four Agreements

“We begin to lose our hesitation to do immoral things when we lose our hesitation to speak of them.” ― Musonius Rufus

We can bow to Divine Will in anticipation of the thing happening which will, in the long run, be the best for all concerned. It may not always seem like the best thing at the present time, but we cannot see as far ahead as Spirit can. We do not know how these Divine plans are laid, we only need to believe that if we trust and accept whatever happens as Divine Will in a spirit of faith, everything will work out for the best in the end. I pray that I may not ask to see the distant scene. I pray that one step may be enough for me. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 28th reading

“If you accomplish something good with hard work, the labor passes quickly, but the good endures; if you do something shameful in pursuit of pleasure, the pleasure passes quickly, but the shame endures” ― Musonius Rufus

All of us have our own battle to win, the battle between the material view of life and the spiritual view. Something must guide our lives. Will it be wealth, pride, selfishness, greed, or will it be faith, honesty, purity, unselfishness, love, and service? Each one has a choice. We can choose good or evil. We cannot choose both. Are we going to keep striving until we win the battle? If we win the victory, we can believe that even God in His heaven will rejoice. I pray that I may choose the good and resist the evil. I pray that I will not be a loser in the battle for righteousness. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 27th reading

Walk all the way with another person and with the Creator. Do not go part of the way and then stop. Do not push Spirit so far into the background so there is no effect on your life. Walk all the way with Divinity. Make a good companion of the Creator, by praying often during the day. Do not let your spiritual contact be broken for too long a period. Walk all the way with Spirit and with other people, along the path of life, wherever it may lead you. I pray that I may walk in companionship with God along the way. I pray that I may keep my feet upon the path that leads upward.

We should work at overcoming ourselves, our selfish desires and our self-centeredness. This can never be fully accomplished. We can never become entirely unselfish. But we can come to realize that we are not at the center of the universe and that everything does not revolve around us at the center. I am only one cell in a vast network of human cells. I can at least make the effort to conquer the self-life and seek daily to obtain more and more of this self-conquest. "He that overcomes himself is greater than he who conquers a city." I pray that I may strive to overcome my selfishness. I pray that I may achieve the right perspective of my position in the world. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 25th reading

Divine Grace is an assurance against all evil. It holds out security to the believing soul. The grace of the Creator means safety in the midst of evil. You can be kept unspotted by the world through the power of His grace. You can have a new life of power. But only in close contact with the grace of God is the power realized. In order to realize it and benefit from it, you must have daily quiet communion with Spirit, so that the power of Divine grace will come unhindered into your soul. I pray that I may be kept from evil by the grace of God. I pray that henceforth I will try to keep myself more unspotted by the world. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 24th reading

“wealth is able to buy the pleasures of eating, drinking and other sensual pursuits-yet can never afford a cheerful spirit or freedom from sorrow.” ― Musonius Rufus

Though it may seem a paradox, we must believe in spiritual forces which we cannot see more than in material things which we can see, if we are going to truly live. In the last analysis, the universe consists more of thought or mathematical formulas than it does of matter as we understand it. Between one human being and another only spiritual forces will suffice to keep them in harmony. These spiritual forces we know, because we can see their results although we cannot see them. A changed life -- a new personality -- results from the power of unseen spiritual forces working in us and through us. I pray that I may believe in the Unseen. I pray that I may be convinced by the results of the Unseen which I do see. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 23rd reading

Day by day we should slowly build up an unshakable faith in a Higher Power and in that Power's ability to give us all the help we need. By having these quiet times each morning, we start each day with a renewing of our faith, until it becomes almost a part of us and is a strong habit. We should keep furnishing the quiet places of our souls with all the furniture of faith. We should try to fill our thoughts each day with all that is harmonious and good, beautiful and enduring. I pray that I may build a house in my soul for the spirit of God to dwell in. I pray that I may come at last to an unshakable faith. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - Oct 22nd reading

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will remain with him and him with me." The knocking of Spirit, asking to come into your life, is due to no merit of yours, though it is in response to the longing of your heart. Keep a listening ear, an ear bent to catch the sound of the gentle knocking at the door of your heart by Spirit. Then open the door to your heart and let Creator's spirit in. I pray that I may let God's spirit come into my heart. I pray that it may fill me with an abiding peace. Twenty- Four Hours a Day - Oct 21st reading

Before speaking... “Is it true; is it kind, or is it necessary?” ― Socrates

Simple acceptance of Divine will in whatever happens is the key to abundant living. We must continue to pray. "Not my will but Yours be done" It may not turn out the way you want it to, but it will be the best way in the long run, because it is the way of the Universe. If you decide to accept whatever happens as Creator's will for yourself, whatever it may be, your burdens will be lighter. Try to see in all things some fulfillment of the Divine Intent. I pray that I may see the working of God's will in my life. I pray that I may be content with whatever He wills for me. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 20th

“Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.” ― Socrates

We can believe that somehow the cry of the human soul is never unheard in the Divine realms. It may be that the Universe hears the cry, even if we fail to notice Spirit's response to it. The human cry for help must always evoke a response of some sort from the Creator. It may be that our failure to discern properly keeps us unaware of the response. But one thing we can believe is that Divine Grace is always available for every human being who sincerely calls for help. Many changed lives are living proofs of this fact. I pray that I may trust God to answer my prayer as He sees fit. I pray that I may be content with whatever form that answer may take. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 19th reading

“Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.” ― Socrates

$BTC Moon Cycle Update - First Quarter Moon 🌓October 18th Do you see a pattern emerging? Ever since the solar eclipse (aka the resumption of the uptrend) the bright phases of the moon (boxes) contain uptrends, and the dark phases of the moon (space between boxes) represent downtrends. Will the pattern continue? If so, we should enjoy an uptrend for the next 2 weeks as energy returns to our lives and the markets. In our life, the First Quarter Moon 🌓 welcomes us to take action. Less planning more doing. Commit to the thing. Solve the problems before you. Take the first step and build momentum. I hope this message finds you well. Until next time - Drazzzzz

Not until you have failed can you learn true humility. Humility arises from a deep sense of gratitude to Creator for giving you the strength to rise above past failures. Humility is not inconsistent with self-respect. The true person has self-respect and the respect of others yet is humble. The humble person is tolerant of other's failings, and does not have a critical attitude toward the quirks of others. Humble people are hard on themselves and easy on others. I pray that I may be truly humble and yet have self-respect. I pray that I may see the good in myself as well as the bad. Twenty-Four Hours a Day - October 18th reading
