Life has a marvelous power to lead us forward; what seems momentarily to be the end of the world is, in retrospect, revealed as the wonderful beginning of something new, better, more correct, even if it isn’t easier.
Life has a marvelous power, a cosmic power, a Divine power.
I am Jehovah my God and I am my God, it is I who create my own reality and I who know the two parts of myself, two parts that require dialog, sometimes negotiation, but unanimous choice would be desirable.
I shall have no other God but me, because I am my own God and I know what is best for me. When I listen to myself I really know and when I listen to the little girl and not to the Divine in me, I think I know but not what is really good for me.
I will not take the Lord’s name in vain; I will not be hostage to illusion.
I will let myself live in truth and everything that has existed and still exists is mine when I create it, both the illusion and its consequence.
I will honor and sanctify the Sabbath; I will sanctify my creations by observing them without judgment or criticism. I will observe and learn myself and I will know how to continue to create satisfying results.
I will honor my parents who gave me life; I will honor and forgive them for sending me to that school without my remembering that I had agreed to it.
I will not kill, neither myself nor anyone else, I will surrender power struggles as an expression of the battle for a place and stand firm on my path. I will be loyal to myself and intimate with myself; I will respect my space and that of others and I will not commit adultery.
I will not steal because I am worthy of receiving.
I will bear witness to my own truth and that of others. I will be true to the truth as an expression of myself; I will live my life fully, acknowledging the glass half-full; I will give up comparing and know myself to be whole.
I know that I will never be perfect, I will never fulfill every instruction to the end, but I commit to being alert, I commit to paying attention to my acts and choices, to doing the best I can.
My agreement to the contract, to living my life fully, makes me happy, touches me to the core, the spark of my soul and I breathe. Breathe from the belly, breathe from the body, that familiar inhalation from moments of enlightenment.
Knowing what is required of me is a great help. I can find joy within that peace, an inner peace that signifies the whole.
