		<description>Greetings Dori,

Thank you so much for visiting and sharing such kind and heartful feelings! &quot;Being&quot; is such a lovely and remarkable word, yet appropriate and expansive space within which to reside. In a world of busyness and agendas and motives, this sacred space of Being seems hidden or lost from view, yet still may we choose it, for me at least, a most rewarding space indeed. I am grateful for your presence, Dori. Thank you!

Blessings and Love to you,
~Marc</description>

		<description>Greetings Sabine,

You are certainly not alone, sweet one. Most of us at one time or another face expectations and conditioning, thoughts of failure. We all tend to forget.

When you catch yourself forgetting, you have just remembered. This is cause for celebration! Be grateful in your remembering and rejoice! If you catch your forgetting again, you have just remembered again. Celebrate again! We can be so grateful again! Each time you remember, the forgetting grows farther apart, until one day you forget no more. We get to celebrate all the way! All of life celebrates with us! What tremendous blessings!

You recognize sadness is derived from judging one&#039;s own being. Let&#039;s Celebrate! Truly this is a blessing! You feel something not right with one choice, and you know what other way you may choose that does feel right. Yes, let&#039;s Celebrate again! What glorious blessings we have to be grateful for!

With Love we forgive errors of thought and forgetting. Yes! We get to celebrate our forgiveness! Blessings abound us, we can be so grateful! We then stand tall, strong, and confident with love and gratitude that our greater being now guides our way. This truly calls for celebration! More blessings, more gratitude we can celebrate!

Forgiveness dissolves the limitations imposed on our entirety. Gratitude draws the blessings of our greater being. Trust grants the Great Spirit permission to be the active force in our lives. Oh, yes! Let us celebrate! Our blessings are without end, we can be so grateful!

&#039;Warrior of the Light&#039; does not refer to harming another. No. It is a matter of focus. We focus steadfastly on the Love and Light which is our True Being. In so doing, we gift the power of focus only unto our Authentic Self. What we gift power to grows in our life. What we no longer feed power to, dissolves. Yes! Let us Celebrate! Our gratitude is endless, for our Blessings are endless!

We are loved beyond measure. All of life supports and rejoices with us. To experience this, we still our mind and allow the Light of Love we are to be our focus. Oh, our blessings are abundant and overflowing! Our gratitude fills us and spews out into the world around us! Our Celebrate continues! All of Life rejoices with us!   

Blessings and Love to you,
~Marc</description>

		<description>Hello Marc,

thank you for clearifying again. Sometimes i really tend to forget to be humble and grateful for my life.....And walk the way of sadness and jugdments of my own being.... Actually that is exactly the situation i am in.... letting go of expectations and my conditioning of how i should be, what i should have sucessfully reached by now etc... (not thinking to have failed here on earth- that is the point where sadness comes in...) and allowing myself just to be and allow the great spirit to shine and work through me....once i saw the movie &quot;the secret&quot; and afterwards Eckhart Tolle´s DVD - then i realised there is something not feeling right with &quot;the secret&quot; and the wishes etc- and realised if i am in my heart center - all will be / is there without me, even asking or creating it - beyond my wildest dreams....Thank you Mark for providing such a loving, accepting and understanding space here :-) Om namah sivaya - Feel much better already again....</description>

		<description>Hi Sabine, 

Thank you so much for visiting and sharing! Truly it is a blessing if anything shared may assist another in opening to the love we are. Thank you!

You mention something I must clarify.  The aim of this post was to impart examples from my life-experiences and the world at large which directly contradict Shaw&#039;s quote.

My life-experiences have proven time and time again that handing over the design of my life to the wisdom within (the Designer of Life) is a far wiser choice than creating myself. After all, who has so perfectly created themselves as to be compared to the perfection of the human body, or a tree, flower, animal, mountain, river, Universe, Galaxies or Cosmos?

In my own experiences, every time I surrendered ego&#039;s need to control, Life has provided a far grander experience than ego could have ever imagined creating.

What Shaw&#039;s quote brings to light is perhaps the most important choice we ever face, and equally as misunderstood... 

Will we choose: (1) the unfolding and permanency of our Authentic Self, by allowing the Designer of Life&#039;s vision for our life to be revealed? Or, will we choose: (2) to continue &#039;thinking&#039; ourselves capable of doing a better job, while under the influence of ego&#039;s illusory and non-permanence of wants, desires and trappings?

As the old adage goes; &quot;one cannot serve two masters.&quot;

For myself, my choice is #1. I choose to re-awaken unto Authentic Self, and allow the Designer of Life&#039;s version of who I Am to be revealed. Thus, I wholeheartedly support you in handing over to Great Spirit, and allow the sadness to be taken away! :-)

Blessings and Love to you!

		<description>Hi Marc,
thank you for sharing and radiate your experiences and your love. I am very glad to experience this - and as i read your words, i feel this love u are, reflected in my heart, and this love is not only felt and recognised by myself...it is felt by all of us - WoW
About myself, i haven´t found my place here on earth yet... 
Sometimes i do understand some rules of creation but still.....
that makes me sad sometimes...i have heard about creating my life....not yet ready to create .... or i might really hand it over to Great Spirit :-) and taking the sadness out...
Thank you Marc - for being with us here :-) Om namha sivaya</description>

Thank you so much for reading such a lengthy post! Isn&#039;t it incredible what our inner knowing can do if we step out of the way? It&#039;s a blessing that never ceases to amaze :)
