Some people think of work as a dirty word, but I don’t.  These days it’s very popular to talk about fighting for what you believe in, but that’s not my way.  I work for things, happily, but I don’t want to fight for them.

Many days I spend more time at work than anything else.  I find I am often thinking of work related things even when I’m not working.

Work takes a large part of the thought and energy that I have to give in a day or a week or a year.

I work with an attitude. That attitude is determined by my aspiration.  As part of my practice of personal inquiry I stop and consider “to what am I devoting so much of my precious life energy to?”

“Do the Holy Spirit’s work, for you share in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing.”  A Course in Miracles T-12.VII.

Certainly, Jesus, Gandhi, King and many others have taught us that one person has the power to change the destiny of the entire human race. I do this by simply shifting my intention.  My aspiration is akin to the trajectory of a rocket.  Shift that trajectory one degree and I have a new destination.

In THE PATHWAY OF ROSES, Christian D. Larson writes, “Do not work for yourself; work for the great idea that stands at the apex of your greatest purpose. The greater idea for which you work, the greater will be your work … When you begin to live and work for a great purpose, you get into the current of great forces, great minds, great souls. You gain from every source; all the powerful lives in the world will work with you; you become a living part of the movement in the world that determines the greater destiny of man; you become one of the chief elements upon which will depend the future of countless generations yet to be …”

Today, the day before Independence Day here in the United States, I’m thinking about how grateful I am for the men and women who gave so much for our democracy, for our Freedom from tyranny.

Today is the day I commit to work for a greater revelation of LOVE.

I am in league with all of the great minds, the great souls who’ve ever lived.  My aspiration is to work with great purpose, great love and great joy.  My work is part of my daily focus on nonviolence.  My work benefits all beings because I work as an expression of Divine Love.

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Good VS Bad: How Do You Know Which Is Which?. In this episode, I unpack how “good” and “bad” are illusions maintained by judgment—something A Course in Miraclestells us we are incapable of making because we cannot see through all directions of time and space. I share personal stories, insights from the Manual for Teachers, and practical wisdom for living more peacefully by surrendering the ego’s constant labeling and instead choosing neutrality, trust, and humility. When we stop judging, we stop suffering—and we open ourselves to healing, joy, and true spiritual freedom.

In this program, you’ll discover what thousands have experienced:  we can get to the root cause of self-sabotage and eliminate that – and then our behavior and choices change.  It’s so much easier!!
