When you are down and out and there is no place else to go -- so low that you can't go any further down, and even the gutter looks like up to you -- then you have the opportunity to try something that you may have been avoiding. It might be going for the truth of who you really are. This doesn't have to be a revelation or a ritual, just a moment of connecting to the essence within you (regardless of what you call it), with no cover or protective act, just saying the truth. It might simply be, "Help." If you say that, asking for assistance with no strings attached, if your heart is in that word, you just might get the help you ask for. Remember, however, that the help may often come in different forms than those you might have expected. I doubt if you'll get rent money falling like manna from heaven, but you may get an insight into how to get a better-paying job. You may not immediately get that mate you'd like, but you might get clarity about how to improve your relationships. - John-Roger (From: Wealth & Higher Consciousness, p. 68) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

Most of us at one time or another ask why there is so much suffering in the world and, even closer to home, why we ourselves suffer. Suffering is the result of attachment. Attachment is the result of desire. Desire is the result of not feeling whole and complete. Not feeling whole and complete is the result of not being in contact with God. So, suffering is obliterated by finding God, and that is what I teach. - John-Roger (From: "Suffering" on the New Day Herald website at www.ndh.org/template.php3?ID=426)Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.phpI really believe this to be true in many circumstances.

Others may interpret your being true to yourself as being against them. When you are truly for who you are you are not against anyone. You don't have to explain it. If somebody doesn't understand what you are doing, it doesn't mean you have to explain it to them. It is enough for you to be yourself. Your actions speak louder than words. - John Morton Open MSIA Seminar with John Morton webcast live worldwide - Tuesday October 16th, 6:30 p.m. pacific daylight time at www.msia.org/liveWatch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

People often try to get you to go along with their trip. Often they think they hear that "inner direction" more clearly than you do, or they think their idea is better than yours. But theirs may be "false doctrine" from start to finish. That's why you must check out everybody. You must check out me. You must check out my teachings. I've never told anybody to believe me or trust me. That would be nonsense. It would be tempting you to your downfall. - John-Roger (From: The Way Out Book, p. 187) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php This is SO true!

If we work from the premise that each body walking around here is a reflection of and a vehicle for the Soul to express and experience this level, then we become more thoughtful in what we do and also in what we think. If you recognize that the beingness in you is the same as the beingness in others, you treat the other person with a little more kindness, and you are less likely to hold againstness towards them. - John-Roger (From: "Seventy Times Seven" on the New Day Herald website at www.ndh.org/template.php3?ID=533)Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

There are many "voices" that speak to us. When you listen to your own inner voice, most of the time you are listening to your mind, and the mind is taking its information out of the ego. The ego is a product of the mind and the emotions, a composite of all your experiences thrown together, stirred around, and then recycled through your consciousness in forms you may not readily identify. For example, if there was a time long ago when you felt hurt and upset and then a friend took you out for an ice cream sundae and you felt better, you may have linked those two experiences together in your consciousness. At another time when you are feeling similar emotions, the "inner voice" may say, "Take care of yourself." So you go to the ice cream store and have a sundae, and then you have another. You do not feel better, and when you get sick, you might say, "But my inner voice told me to have a sundae." It probably did not say, "Pig out!" That is something you added on to the inner message, which was, "Take care of yourself, feel better." - John-Roger (From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 877, 879) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

We can have different rituals and different names and definitions for spiritual ideas. If they are accompanied by unconditional loving, they can all lead to God. Some people call it heaven. Some people call it the Soul realm. Words and labels are not the experience by itself. They are invented by human beings to help people approach that which cannot be understood by the mind with the mind. It isn't the mind that transcends death. During that passage, there is but one God, who has no name and who resides in a place that has no label because it is all-space, all-loving, all-ways, always. - John-Roger (From: Relationships: Love, Marriage and Spirit), p.194-195) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

To be integrated with your Spirit, speak honestly and act honestly. God is your partner. That means God is going to stand by you. That also means you have nothing to worry about so you can be completely true to yourself. You don't have to worry about a thing. What happens happens. Being true to yourself never goes against God's creation because that would be God being divided against itself. - John Morton Open MSIA Seminar with John Morton webcast live worldwide - Tuesday October 16th, 6:30 p.m. pacific daylight time at www.msia.org/liveWatch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

The inner guidance you may receive from Spirit within is that small voice in the wilderness of your heart that is telling you the truth. It's saying, "I am the Beloved. I am the one for whom you have been searching. I am God dwelling in your heart." You awaken to that voice through spiritual exercises, through contemplation, and by taking the time to be with yourself away from the distractions and confusions of the world. - John-Roger (From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 886) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

Your future will someday be your present, where you will be able to reap the rewards of what you are doing now. That is why I stress being creative and courageous now. There is nothing wrong with asking yourself what you want in your life. Of course, that intimates that the reward is in the future. Once you recognize what you want, however, you have creative choices in the present that can make your wants into a reality. - John-Roger (From: Wealth & Higher Consciousness, p. 149) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

Q: I am afraid to desire something, even if I say, "for the highest good," because I don't want to get into a desire pattern. A: Wanting something and putting it in the Light doesn't automatically create a desire pattern. It's when you desire something to the point of total distraction that a desire pattern can be created. When you ask for the Light for the highest good in relation to something you want, it is then also important to let it go and forget about it. Just trust that if it's for the highest good, it will come forward, and if it isn't, it most likely won't. - John-Roger (From: "Suffering," on the New Day Herald website at www.ndh.org/template.php3?ID=426)Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

You might feel good about yourself if you could realize that you were established in Soul consciousness and that while you were living in Soul consciousness, you could watch your body evolve itself through its final process and release itself from the wheel of incarnation. You could then reside in the majesty and glory of who you really are. - John-Roger (From: Living Love from the Spiritual Heart, p. 20-21) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

You may spend many days saying, "I forgive myself, I forgive them, I forgive this judgment, I forgive…gosh, am I going to be able to eat today, or will I spend all day forgiving?... I forgive myself for judging them." Forgiving yourself is better than food, because you can miss a meal and it will not hurt you, but if you miss the forgiveness, what you judged yourself for may be lodged against you. - John-Roger (From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 1067-1068) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php

When you show unconditional loving, such a secure support may encourage your lover to change that habit just because of loving understanding. Not pressure. And even if they don't change, you are still experiencing love because you have chosen love. - John-Roger (From: Relationships: Love, Marriage and Spirit, p.19-20) Watch today's Moment of Peace with John-Roger, John Morton: www.lovingeachday.org/mop.php
