A Poem From A Positive Friend (Janet Marshall)
Janet E Marshall says: April 15, 2012 at 3:50 am (Edit) I write poems about sprituality. Here is one for you: THOUGHTS by Liza Fox (pen name for Janet Marshall What am I thinking? I really don’t know. My thoughts, like the hours, They come and they go. Sometimes a happy thought, Sometimes a sad. Maybe a good thought, maybe a bad. And there, in between each thought Is a space, A space full of peace, A space full of grace. A subtle awareness Of what comes between, A space, then a thought, Then a space once again. As I follow my breath, In and out, out and in, I am deeply…

On Ruling Your Kingdom
Is your world out-of-order? Do you want it back in order? Then the logical answer would be to do what you have to do in order to get things the way they need to be. But what if you are not the problem? What if the people around you are out-of-order? What do you do then? What if it is your husband or wife, employer or employees, your children, friends and relatives? First, I would say to take a very careful examination and make sure it is not you that is the problem. Make sure that you are doing all you can and giving all you can in your world.…

Hitting Rock Bottom Can Be A Most Positive Place
Hitting rock bottom, What does that mean? For me it means I refuse to go any lower than this. For me it means, I am willing to do whatever it takes to get up from here. The most interesting thing is that rock bottom has its own particular look for each one of the lucky people who find themselves in that place. Did I say lucky people? What is so fortunate about hitting a place that you never wanted to hit? The good thing is if it is truly rock bottom that means you have finally been hit so hard that you will do something about it and make the…

Stepping Up Your Spiritual Game
Tonight I find myself watching a movie called Lost in Austin. I specifically chose to watch this movie tonight because of the subject matter. It is about a woman who reads the book Pride and Prejudice so much that she finds herself entering into the dimension of the book. It reminds me of the possibility of being able to go to other realms by way of meditation or dream. Quite often I will get answers and information from my dreams and dream-like meditations. And when I have these dreams or experiences in other realms, man do they feel real. Sometimes I will even choose to have a dream about a…

Interview With Karen, A Positive Ambassador Spreading Positivity at Meijer
Craig: Your question to me when I asked you to do the interview was “Why me?’ And my answer was because quite often I look for everyday people who I find to be very positive or doing positive things. Many people are not able to identify with Oprah Winfrey, Depak Chopra or Joel Osteen. People will think, “It’s easy for them to be positive, after all they are rich. That’s what they do for a living, they are experts.” But when I focus on someone like you, the lady working at Meijer as a cashier, then maybe they can get it. They will see someone more like themselves choosing a…

A Reminder of What’s Most Important
Two days ago I had some issues going on in my life. I meditated and during the meditation I got some information in a dreamlike thought telling me to wait one more day. I decided to do just that. I would wait one day and see if I get some enlightening information coming my way. Well the next morning it came. I was told that my mothers god-daughter, Christy, made her transition. The news hit me hard. Probably harder than you would think because I did not know her well. Although I did not know her well, I thought well of Christy, and always heard good things about her. She…

A Tip For Having The Inner Darshan A Most Positive Experience On Both The Meditative And Positive Path
In meditation circles there is an incredibly deep term called darshan. There is both an outer darshan and an inner darshan. Darshan can mean to embrace or hold and it can mean to behold in vision. One of the most sought after experiences on the meditation path is to obtain the darshan of the teacher. Now I am speaking of the inner darshan. If one can move to the level of having the inner Darshan, being in the presence of the teacher without having to travel in the physical to see him or her, one has made quite an accomplishment. The same principle is true in all situations for people in…

With Signs and Help From The Universe I Should Never Worry About Anything (From Craig’s Journal)
This morning I heard the birds chirping as I walked down the driveway taking out the trash. They seemed to be singing louder than usual, almost like they were somehow trying to catch my attention. I guess on some level they did, because they along with the incredible warm breeze I felt, were reminding me how wonderful the weather is, and how God and the Universe have been truly been taking care of me. In my world the weather is a big thing. I have a seasonal business that is dependent on warm weather. We usually don’t work January through March. If we are lucky, we may get a little…

It’s Gonna Be Easy!
Yesterday I opened up my second book, Wise Words, for my message for the day. Wise Words is based on sayings I learned from my teacher, Mr. Ambrister, and often reminds me of my times and lessons with him. The Page I opened to was titled “It’s Gonna B e Easy!” It is something he would say to me often, particularly when the situation looked difficult or even impossible. I thought about how things are easy once we get centered. The key is to get centered and then the difficult problem becomes easy. After reading and reflecting on this, I went about my day. The next morning, this morning, I…
