Hello Everyone!

Can you believe it’s September already?!!! September’s the traditional start of the school year.
The advantage of being adults is that we don’t have to wait for the season to change, we’re continually stretching our minds;
all year long, we’re busy absorbing new information, honing our skills, testing our limits.
But this month, be a student of life. Stay open to learning opportunities, wherever you find them. Be curious.

This month’s newsletter will continue with a message from Conversations with God, Book 1, by Neale Donald Walsch.

God is speaking: “All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions—fear or love.
In truth there are only two emotions—only two words in the language of the soul.
These are the opposite ends of the great polarity which I created when I produced the universe, and your world, as you know it today.

You have forgotten what it was like to be loved without condition. You do not remember the experience of the love of God. And so you try to imagine what God’s love must be like, based on what you see of love in the world.

You have projected the role of “parent” onto God, and have thus come up with a God Who judges and rewards or punishes, based on how good He feels about what you’ve been up to. But this is a simplistic view of God, based on your mythology. It has nothing to do with Who I Am.

Having thus created an entire thought system about God based on human experience rather than spiritual truths,
you then create an entire reality around love. It is a fear-based reality, rooted in the idea of a fearful, vengeful God.
Its Sponsoring Thought is wrong, but to deny that thought would be to disrupt your whole theology.
And though the new theology which would replace it would truly be your salvation, you cannot accept it because the idea of a
God Who is not to be feared, Who will not judge, and Who has no cause to punish is simply too magnificent to be embraced within even your grandest notion of Who and What God is.

Every action taken by human beings is based in love or fear, not simply those dealing with relationships.
Decisions affecting business, industry, politics, religion, the education of your young, the social agenda of your nations, the economic goals of your society, choices involving war, peace, attack, defense, aggression, submission; determinations to covet or give away, to save or to share, to unite or to divide—every single free choice you ever undertake arises out of one of the only two possible thoughts there are: a thought of love or a thought of fear.

You have been taught to live in fear. You have been told about the survival of the fittest and the victory of the strongest and the success of the cleverest. Precious little is said about the glory of the most loving. And so you strive to be the fittest, the strongest, the cleverest—in one way or another—and if you see yourself as something less than this in any situation, you fear loss, for you have been told that to be less is to lose.

And so of course you choose the action fear sponsors, for that is what you have been taught. Yet I teach you this: when you choose the action love sponsors, then will you do more than survive, then will you do more than win, then will you do more than succeed. Then will you experience the full glory of Who You Really Are, and who you can be.

To do this you must turn aside the teaching of your well-meaning, but misinformed, worldly tutors, and hear the teachings of those whose wisdom comes from another source.

There are many such teachers among you, as always there have been, for I will not leave you without those who would show you, teach you, guide you, and remind you of these truths. Yet the greatest reminder is not anyone outside you, but the voice within you. This is the first tool that I use, because it is the most accessible.

The voice within is the loudest voice with which I speak, because it is the closest to you. It is the voice which tells you whether everything else is true or false, right or wrong, good or bad as you have defined it. It is the radar that sets the course, steers the ship, and guides the journey if you but let it.

It is the voice which tells you right now whether the very words you are reading are words of love or words of fear. By this measure can you determine whether they are words to heed or words to ignore.”
