Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

At the deepest, most expansive level of consciousness, each of us has within ourselves full access to All That Is. We are all interconnected through this innermost place, where our mystical connection to all beings is found.
 
In some mysterious way, each of us is an ever-changing manifestation and reflection of the collective consciousness of all beings. In other words, the divine collective of All That Is somehow created us in its own image, and continues to create through us in every sacred moment.

About a week ago, I was watching one of the Occupy Movement's General Assemblies when I heard an inspiring message delivered over the "People's Mic."  Occupiers were taking turns being the main speaker, while the crowd repeated their words back.  On this particular night, it went something like this...

I wanna live in a world...   (I wanna live in a world...)

                                   where people love each other.  (where people love each other.)

I wanna live in a world...   (I wanna live in a world...)

The chosen one. So many people are looking for the chosen one to save them, whether it be Christ, the Messiah, the knight in shining armor, or ETs coming to rescue us. They are ready to surrender their power to this chosen one who will then lead them out of their troubles and into the promised land. In surrendering to the chosen one, they then no longer have to take personal responsibility for their lives, as the chosen one takes on the responsibility and shows them the way. They have only to follow what the chosen one tells them to do.
 

In the old paradigm, it was - I am alone, you are alone, we are alone. In the new paradigm we are co-creating, we breathe a little space into the word "alone," and it becomes "all-one": I am all one, you are all one, we are all one. Yes!!!

A friend sent me this video.  I found it inspiring. --Such great Storytelling IMHO. 

I thought of All of my Spiritual Comrades here on Gathering Spot...And our many discussions about Global Warming.  I laughed through this Ray Stevens Story.

Hi All-

I'm noticing a change in the character of the gathering spot and missing the way it used to be. I'm wondering if others agree with me and also if others have ideas about what they would like to see more or less of.

It seems to me that people are posting lots of news articles these days. I suppose this isn't a bad thing but when we had fewer posts there was less chance that a post would get burried under loads of newer posts. These news posts seem to be drowning out the posts that involve more community discussion and a deeper level of dialogue.
