The adult’s temperament, tolerance and levels of self-discipline are reflected in the child because what is unresolved in the adult remains undisciplined in the child. An adult without inner discipline and self control may have a child susceptible to impatience and anger. Avoiding addiction is the ultimate test of self control presented to adults and children alike, children under the age of 11years are unlikely to manage abstinence from addictive behaviour if it is actively supported by the environment in which they live and or those with whom they associate.

Authenticity can only be present when we give ourselves and others permission to be unique.
Freedom is when we feel safe enough to authentically exercise our individual uniqueness.
199) Individuality can only be understood by each individual.
Authenticity can only be present when we give ourselves and others permission to be unique.
Freedom is when we feel safe enough to authentically exercise our individual uniqueness.
200) Your voice is a calling I cannot resist.
Your smile is something not to be missed
201) Intelligence is the union between:-
thought and action, willpower and movement,
independence and decision-making, initiative and creativity,
personality and social co-operation; the integration and inter-dependence between all these aspects of human potential and the potency of love.
.
202) ‘……of all things love is the most potent….That part of it which we possess consciously is renewed every time a baby is born……… The study of love and its utilisation will lead us to the source from which it springs, The Child.’ (Montessori,1988:269-270)
203)
Education is at its best when based on natural play; discovery learning; authentic creative expression; co-operative interaction; and compassionate understanding. Whereby the three keys to empowerment and learning potential are:-
Authentic Creativity
Compassionate Understanding
and Co-operative Sharing.
204) In the perfect world wrong has no meaning because everything is an important part of every learning process.
205) Failure cannot exist when the beginning and the end are self-determined by the learner.
206) Natural play and learning is present when the curriculum is initiated by each individual on a moment by moment basis
207) Natural authority and discipline is an intrinsically creative structure invoked spontaneously within chosen social and practical skills.
208) Learning how to love: when the music of the heart, is sewn into the fabric of everyday living and learning
209) Peace and harmony come when playtime is shared amongst everyone as a universal language.
210) When the ‘dis’ in dis-abilities is transcribed into ‘special’-abilities. Everyone is acknowledged for their special strengths and their gifts.
211) Every real question is open ended and can have different answers on different occasions
212) Genuinely Chosen Time-out is a personal organisation of meditation and contemplation.
213) All learning is a powerful resource, positively charged and dissolved as a colloidal presence within our fluid state of being.
214) Angels walk without talk, move from here to there without being seen, and generate positivity everywhere.
215) Love as you have never loved before,
Now is the moment to dissolve all regrets.
Embrace the ones you love
Their only fault is a shyness
Which protects you from the depth of their love
216) It’s not how much time you spend holding me in your arms,
But the love in your heart, that warms my soul.
It’s not how much time you spend with me
But your smile when we meet that blesses my heart.
It’s not how much we do together
But knowing you would be there when things got tough, that shows me your love
217) The power of love so unique and pure,
Is ours to share you can be sure.
Connect with this energy
Let love flow free
With peace in your heart and good thoughts of me
218) I am all that you would wish me to be
We are as your imagination dreams us.
Past is but a shadow of our present
Future is only one moment way.
Every choice is continually renewed
Change is a part of every breath we take.
Trust yourself and you can trust me
Love yourself and I will love thee.
219) How could we miss something that is in essence still there,
For our love is like a fine golden thread
That will join us forever.
A thread so fine that no-one can see it
So strong that no-one can break it
Not even you or I.
220) Loneliness is because either:-
We are not getting sensory enjoyment from our life style. Simple forms of aesthetic appreciation, joyful celebration, and genuine gratitude are important for our everyday happiness; or we do not have anyone to serve with loving devotional care. Without anyone to receive our love, life can lose its’ sweetness. The highest reception of love is attained only through the giving of love unconditionally. When our love is not shared with others we ourselves feel alone and unloved for only in the giving do we receive true love from the source.
221) Somehow there is joy in the tears that flow down my cheeks and off my nose. Somehow there is joy in my heart as it breaks
222) I looked out of my window and what did I see?
I saw a flower it reminded me of thee;
Its beauty so pure
Its’ colours so bright,
Like a candle it sent forth love and light
223) My love, my love, how my separation from you brings me to know how close I am with you;
Our time with each other is only a small part of how we are together.
224) If love defines my capacity to share from my heart
And respect defines our capacity to work together
Then for me, trust is the combination of both
And the amount of trust defines the strength of our relationship
225) May I share with you my stillness a place of most profound.
May I share with you my silence a peace without sound.
May I share with you my love, a contentment from within.
May I share with you my prayers and my way to heaven.
226) Kiss each moment and release it into the winds of time
Embraced each thought and place it at Gods feet
Surrender to the essence of today and feel the stillness of tomorrow’s breath
Remember to celebrate and dance on the circles of eternity.
227) And so my sweet love How my stillness grows
Deep within my silence
My very being knows
Of a peaceful light
That from my centre flows
Blessing all that I see
In you, them and me.
228) Sometimes Man hunts to appease the pangs of desire so intensely that the sweet delicate growth of devotion gets trampled under the force. Woman must nurture small growths of devotion knowing that one day they will grow strong enough to extinguish the forces of desire. When hunting and nurturing come together in the harmony of devotion unconditional love develops.
229) When desire meets love it surrenders to compassion.
When desire is conquered, if love is still there, then devotion can flourish.
When desire meets devotion it is transformed into love
When love meets love it greets the shelter of devotion
When devotion meets devotion we meet the divinity of God.
230) The power of the seeking extinguishes the flame that illuminates the unconditionally given.
Only as a gift from that of the giving can a true heart light the path of love.
The torch that oneself has presented to be seen in the light of another’s receiving.
231) Is it that true love is to be awaited as a present from time,
Or to be sought as a successful game of hide and seek;
I understand that through the contrast of separation the very sweetness I seek becomes all the sweeter.
And I laugh at the tricks in the mind and the sourness of my emotions,
My judgements become observations and my heart opens with compassion
And I recognise that real love is always flowing unconditionally towards Me.
232) All authentic spiritual masters are unconditionally devoted to encouraging, initiating and presenting by example, one thing – our human capacity to love through a dedication to service to highest good, to love, God the divine, the supreme universal force and this is not so that we or the spiritual master can receive love, but simply so that we can receive in the fullest way possible the infinite Love of God
233) The spiritual master is a divine messenger sent to meet our calling. Their presence when ever, where ever and for however long can only be in response to our inner calling – no matter how faint or unconsciously that call was emitted. They have chosen to answer your call
234) Feeling special without superiority
Present without feeling attached
Fulfilled without taking controlled
Contented without wanting more
235) When I can:-
Celebrate aloneness
Dance with adversity
And know the meaning of truth
Then I will always have true happiness within myself so be it…….
236) When I can be …….
Humble without feeling complacent
Care-giving without any agenda
Serving without being employed.
Whole hearted without fears of failure
237) Through windows of enlightenment
We see ourselves in natural play and learning.
As the doors of each universe open to our star guided journey
Away and back again
238) Only unconditional love can dissolve my past and future into the present.
239) An understanding of the divine and the spiritual
is not held by the constraints of institutional religion but rooted in love, peace and compassion.
240) Time is a circle of eternity
Patience is an appointment with flexibility
And now always runs through the hands of illusion.
241) Cry my dearest, warm tears
Laugh my dearest, joyous sounds,
Share my dearest, all you feel
Fly my dearest angel of light
242) Never Mind, Always Heart can meet every step of the day.
243)
Inner strength gives more protection than any form of self-defence.
Within the world of nature God’s presence is tethered to a complexity of environmental issues related to survival. When man works in harmony with nature issues of environment are related to man’s endeavour and God’s mercy, together this brings abundance. Issues of survival are related to mans’ ability to work in harmony with the divine life force; this brings sustainability.
Learning to care through the growing and harvesting of vegetables.
Learning to share through the growing and harvesting fruit.
Learning to love through the growing and sharing of flowers.
244) The mind does not have to have understanding, for the heart to express compassion.
245) Giving help to others is the surest way to attain what you need for yourself.
246) Only Time can gain obedience from the mind, and only the heart can gain obedience from the mind and time.
247) It’s not that today is better than yesterday,its just that today is always the true master of yesterday and tomorrow is always the truest servant of today.
248) How small I am compared with you oh mighty tree. Yet though you do me no harm, it is I that is dangerous to thee.
How weak I am compared to the mighty strong trees. Who bring me the gift of life’s living breath, yet do I honour the life of trees. With foolish ignorance and mighty greed I demolish the strength you offer me.
249) when do the sparks of life
Spin your heart like a Catherine wheel ?
What gives you the challenge to ride a stallion across the open desert sands ?
What gives you an eagle’ sight over the warm and pleasant lands ?
When is a single candle’s light, enough to brighten up your way.
251) When compassion in the heart overwhelms my desires
Mother earth can furnish my journey in life,
Joyful are her songs that support my learning.
Sweetened by her unprecedented nurturing,
Bright are the colours with which she speaks to my soul.
252)
Be humble in every situation
Serve with devotion
Surrender only to God, The Supreme Lord of all.
253)
Embrace good fortune,
Call from the heart.
Play with opportunity.
254) Dance with adversity
Smile at disturbance,
Celebrate challenges
255) Disturbance comes from someone’s invitation.
Only and if, have no place within forgiveness.
There are no dos or don’ts in deliverance.
Distraction never brings blessings.
Remembrance is a choice.
Imitation is self taught.
256)
How grateful I am to be me
To touch, to feel to see.
Where I go, I do not know
But that with God I shall grow.
257)
Sunshine and holidays at my own front door.
I’ll enjoy the roller-coaster, up and down I go.
With ear plugs for the screaming,
Patience for the uphill dreaming,
Throw-away paper fears,
And sweet nothings in my ears.
258)
’When the nobility of man is captivated by the compassion of his woman, and the compassionate woman is captivated by her noble man, the potential is divine.’
259) When man protects and provides from his noble sense of harmony and woman nurtures from an authentic place of compassion, all will be blessed.
260) Is it that true love is to be awaited as a present from time?
To be sought as a successful game of hide and seek?
Or is it only to be found in my own heart’s sweet surrender,
When I melt into a moment of selfless devotion,
Beyond the time keepers door,
Encased in a box of trust and wrapped in a sense of knowing.
261) The power of the seeking extinguishes the flame that illuminates that unconditionally given.
262) Only as a gift from that of the giving can a true heart light the path of love.
The torch that oneself has presented to be seen only in the light of another’s receiving.
263)
It is a forest thick with illusion that conspires to seek love from another.
For in truth thou seeketh the highest state of love.
Is it that another can endour a heart with any greater love, than that received in the giving.
This is the greatest source of love and its worth most divine.
A thousand times more pleasing on any humble occasion.
Experienced as a bountiful magnification of the pure love that was given.
264) Learning to care through the growing and harvesting of vegetables.
Learning to share through the growing and harvesting fruit.
Learning to love through the growing and sharing of flowers.
Within the world of nature God’s presence is tethered to a complexity of environmental issues related to survival.
When man works in harmony with nature, issues of ecology are related to man’s endeavour and God’s mercy, together this brings abundance.
When man works in harmony with nature, issues of survival are related to mans’ ability to work in harmony with the divine life force; this brings sustainability.
265) A new approach to child development and wellbeing should be based on natural play; discovery learning; authentic creative expression; co-operative interaction; and compassionate understanding. Whereby the three keys to unlock empowerment and fully maintain learning potential are:-
• Authentic Creativity
• Compassionate Understanding
• and Co-operative Sharing.
266) Wrong has no meaning because everything is an important part of our learning processes.
267) Failure cannot exist because beginning and end are self-determined by the learner.
268) Every part of an empowerment curriculum is initiated by each individual child on a moment by moment basis.
269) Authority and discipline can be intrinsically creative structures invoked spontaneously within chosen social and practical skills.
270) The word freedom is surpassed by a positive attitude that invokes individual creative expression.
271) How to love, the music of the heart, needs to be sewn into the fabric of everyday living and learning.
272) Co-operative interaction creates a Unity whereby Playtime is shared amongst everyone as a universal language.
273) Truth is when the ‘dis’ in dis-abilities is transcribed into ‘special’-abilities. Where everyone is acknowledged for their special strengths and their gifts.
274) Every authentic question is open ended and can have different answers on different occasions
275) Empowerment is when Time-out is embraced as a personal organisation of meditation and contemplation.
276) All learning is as a powerful resource, positively charged and dissolved as a colloidal presence within our fluid state of being
277) The road to heaven is before us, if we can softly tread its sweet and tender path.
This road of happiness may be easier to follow than we had previously imagined.
Our journey may indeed lead us to safe places of healing and celebration
And deliver us into Christ/Krsna consciousness.
278) Only through the power of unconditional love can we hope to provide an abundance of opportunity for:-
Free play in natural environments
Individual creative expression
Self-directed and discovery learning.
Encouragement to develop free thinking and a unique personality.
Social sharing activities such as improvised music and dance
Freedom to explore, experiment, and investigate
Sharing and caring as a valued member of a sharing and caring community.
279) It is not fate, it is our choices, that make this right and make it grow in the richness of rightness for us both.
280) When I am demanding from life I get nothing or nothing but trouble comes my way.
281) When I am at peace with how things are, everything I want is there to be received along with a few surprise blessings that I did not think I deserved.
282) When I am grateful for everything, no matter how small and insignificant it may appear to others, then I can share with others a sweetness that blesses everyone and everything.
283) When I forget my own desires for the privilege of being a simple servant within the Divine orchestration of Highest Good, I celebrate that part of me, a child of God, that was given by the Supreme Lord as an eternal gift.
284) If I love you and in whatever way I love you, you will feel and experience this love and if you don’t? Then maybe, I don’t really love you or I don’t love you in the way that you would wish me to, or in a way that you can recognise as love. For love has many shades and colours and presents an endless kaleidoscope of variability and possibility that contains the infinite power of all the heavens and beyond.
285) I have not done anything I have lived to regret, so far, even the most painful and challenging things, through time, I have come to value and would not wish to change. It is not the times when I have said YES that have brought me regrets, it is only when I have resisted providence with a ‘No Thank You’ or ‘Please Go Away’ that I have experienced un-consolable remorse.
286) In order to learn good balance we must accept situations that make us a bit wobbly.
287) It only takes one person somewhere to help us feel love.
288) The first kiss is like a freshly cut diamond that sparkles with brilliance, future kisses are likely to be like a flat fizzy drink if the first kiss is forgotten. Only when the first kiss is felt in every subsequent kiss can the diamonds of love remain bright and immaculately cut.
289) Do not kid yourself you are teaching me love, for only in the giving of love can I learn how to be loving; and the giving of love has nothing to teach outside of humility – a sweet surrender.
290) Aspire to go beyond what has been done before
Make gratitude the most important part of your day
Know that the natural world contains the secrets of life
291) I love my life more than I love you and your life, and my love of life is the measure of how I can share lovingly with you.
If I loved sharing your life more than I loved living my own life, then the waters of a sharing relationship would remain rather shallow. For love is bound to wither, if a relationship does not encourage each person to love their own life, and expand this gift creatively in to a richer and deeper everyday love of life.
292) You wanted me to share the life you had already painted on the canvas, whereas I wanted to paint a new canvas together using our talents together, embracing that unknown creativity that occurs when we share our endeavours together.
293) I only need to forgive others when I consider they have failed to give me: what I wanted, should have got, or believed I deserved!
294) In a bright light the Shadows may appear even darker but still they have no power of existence and always fall once the light ventures into their illusive retreat.
295) True love may easily be overlooked because it doesn’t come with the adrenalin of love addiction. The power of true love is one of subtle strength and endurance that grows quietly from endeavour, patience and perseverance.
296) A person’s behaviour around money illustrates their potential relationship with love.
297) I have no wish to curb your enthusiasm, but simply to sustain it by avoiding the reckless downhill runs that can bring chaos and confusion. More importantly we need to practise those activities that help us to gain balance, endurance and fitness of mind and body.
298) When we have established helpful levels of patience, endeavour and endurance, we will indeed be able to create and maintain the relationship our hearts desire.
299) There is no struggle that is not ultimately responsible for important inner healing. God never challenges us with more than we have the potential strength and endurance to manage – when we are willing to accept His gracious hand of tender care and support.
300) When I am processing you are processing too! My success is also your joy and my distress is equally disturbing to you. If we are all aware of how much we influence others, knowingly and unknowingly, then we may feel more compassion for the need to find our own inner happiness in all situations.
301) If you are not happy living alone you are sure to have unreasonable expectations and make excessive demands upon the loved ones who live with you.
302) What is best for me is best for everyone.
303) When I am not nurturing myself I cannot nurture you.
304) If I am trying to ‘Not Let You Down’ I am denying my own healing of disappointment.
305) If I am not trusting the LOVE of God then how can I trust myself or you
306) Hard work always proves worthwhile even though we can’t necessarily see the benefits whilst we are working.
307) Thanks, I appreciate your patience with me please forgive my weaknesses, I seem to get lost rather quickly these days, when I cannot have control I feel unsafe in my ability to look after myself.
308) When I follow someone else’s suggestions I ultimately react in rebellion [depression, mental disturbance, closing down, alcohol, lack of confidence]. The effort is takes to clear myself of this negative reaction gives me the strength to reassess my situation from my own perspective and create a more naturally pleasing way forward for myself and others.
309) So I need to stand strong in my own strength; ‘don’t know’ is a NO until I find a genuine YES. Only then will I be able to find and accept the help and support that helps me find and follow my own truth.
310) When are automatic responses authentic. ?
Why do demands for attention always fail ?
When are resentful feelings helpful ?
How do bribes and rewards make things go better than expected ?
311) Which form of co-dependency is empowering to you to do what?.
312) I am always safe.
When I am alone my inner happiness and wisdom keeps me safe.
I am nurtured by sharing with those I love.
313) New situations – people, places, circumstances, offer me opportunities to share positive social, emotional and physical responses.
314) I have the ability to feel safe and calm in every situation.
I can learn from every situation and perceive that my learning is related to blessings and compassionate wisdom and understanding.
315) Love embraces all aspects of separation with eternal sweetness
316) I can successfully assess my choices and how I feel about them and thus respond positively to all situations.
317) I can express warm openhearted interaction and express genuine love and affection.
318) Everyone deserves to be loved.
I have the ability to always express an abundance of love and affection.
319) I now take up my life path according to Highest Good
I am completely free of all past disturbance
I am strong and fulfilled
320) I am at peace with every aspect of myself
I have compassion and courage
I am positive about life’s adventures
321) I am gentle and good to myself
I am taking responsibility for my life
I am confident I can look after myself
322) I am my own best expert
I am calm and assertive
I learn from all my experiences
323) I am here now enjoying each moment
I move forward in confidence
I have faith in life
324) I can trust my intuition
I have confidence in my future experiences
I welcome my future happiness
325) I have all the time I need
I can do anything
I love my life
326) I release myself from all guilt and shame and inferiority
I am strong and energetic
I am strong and healthy
327) Highest good is always right for me
I radiate peace and light
I can be successful in all situations
328) I think clearly
I accept change with ease and comfort
I am calm and relaxed all is well in my life
329) I am completely free from unwanted and unhelpful past programmes of behaviour.
330) The more I love myself the more I can love others
I enjoy doing what is right for me
I see the best in others
331) I am successfully cultivating a positive outlook in all situations
I enjoy doing what is in accordance with highest good
I am safe and secure
332) I am willing to receive the very best in life
I experience everything as a wonderful opportunity
I am choosing happiness
333) I am able to express myself easily
I am able to express myself with authenticity
334) My body is beautiful
I feel safe with my growing maturity
335) Everyday holds wonderful new opportunities
I love myself and my creator
I enjoy being me, I am my own master
336) I feel awake and fresh
Calmness flows throughout my body
I am secure in my own happiness
337) Life is Love and Light and Love and Light is Life The power of life is yours to have but you can’t give it to anyone, they have to find Love and Light for themselves and be willing to receive it as their food for life.
338) I am a unique individual and I have many gifts I am happy to embrace new opportunities I am learning from all my experiences
339) I have no wish to curb your enthusiasm but rather to sustain it by avoiding reckless downhill runs that can cause unnecessary collisions. More importantly we need to practice those activities that help us to gain balance and fitness of mind, body and spirit. When we have established helpful levels of patience, endurance and endeavour we will indeed be able to create and maintain the co-operative relationship our hearts desire.
340) Relationships motivate us to find and fully re-instate our original nature- that of service to God and Highest good through unconditional love for each other.
341) Everyone can be an angel – it only takes the desire to pour love into each and every moment, each and every person and everything we do, say and think!
342) Happiness in life is based on our ability to successfully establish and maintain balance. Namely that of Yin and Yang (energy); Acid and Alkaline (composition); positive and negative (activity); Left and Right brain interaction (thinking and understanding). The balance maintained within these aspects of our being directly influence the:-;
343) Women bring the best out of men; men bring the best out of women and young children bring the best out of everyone.
344)
345)
346)
347) When we give and receive from a heart-full disposition our interactions with each other will include a heart to heart connection. When we connect through the heart we also engage with higher energies of consciousness from soul-spirit origins sourced from the creation of life. Our higher consciousness relates to our original source and the purity of our soul-spirit.
348) When sharing with each other from the purity of our original nature we embrace positive energy and consciousness. This will ensure that our personal interactions are motivated by the eternal wisdom of unconditional love rather than the lower brain issues of personal survival.
349) Highest Good takes our behaviour beyond the limitations of our personal understandings and experiences into higher realms of human potential, where harmony is intuitively and authentically created within every situation.
350) From the soul-spirit perspective loving relationships and genuine heart-full interactions will encourage each of us to engage in a holistic approach that reflects our true potential as beings of light acting according to Highest Good.
351) Swimming against the tide of Highest Good is never going to be easy!
352) We can only see that which has been touched by ‘the light’.
353) Once we have seen no darkness can dissipate our knowing from that which we have seen.
354) If it has been seen it has been touched by the light and will never hide again in the darkness of ignorance or denial. Amen
355) The truth about ‘Time’ is never found in now or later!
356) My own truth is beyond everyone else’s comprehension for only God truly knows me……
357) When the sun shines the light shines everywhere. No-one can stop the light from shining from the sun or in my heart.
358) Look wisely at today and tomorrow and yesterday will have no way of holding me.
359) The tree Knows; thegrass grows and the river flows………
360) It is only I that has forgotten, how to know, how to grow and how to flow…..
361) When the clouds in the sky stop floating by then I may have a reason to sigh?
362) If I have not yet learnt to say hello how could I meet a real Goodbye.
363) Where have I come from and Where am I going depends upon how well I know where I am right now?
364) We are all born into a body that will die….But whether I LIVE that dying or die that dying is up to me!
365) I can either live ‘all my living’ in each and every day or ‘all my dying’ in each and every day; that is what FREE WILLis all about!
366) And there will always be an extra day to consider, as a bonus, that extends my free will, my living and my dying into the hands of God’s Grace and Glory. Amen
