(found this on a spiritual website)
What is money?!! It is a piece of paper that draws the illusion of all mankind. It can buy a House--but not a Home. It can buy a Bed--but not Sleep. It can buy a Clock--but not Time. It can buy you a Book--but not Knowledge. It can buy you a Position--but not Respect. It can buy you Medicine--but not Health. It can buy you Blood--but not Life. It can buy you Sex--but not Love. ^_^

Too Funny XD
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun had posted a note on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples." XD XD
Those Silly Invisible Walls
His name was Harvey.
He was a middle age African American with a huge grin and a funny blue fishing hat. He carried a stack of small newspapers that seemed local. As soon as I saw him I pegged him as a homeless man and prepared myself for what is normal to me. "Hello my name is Harvey and I am..." quickly I look down and walk by as fast I can without running, giving him the cold shoulder as to not hear anymore. The last words I hear are a sorrowful "No?...ok..."
As soon as I reach the street between the library and the religious studies building I begin to realize what I had done. Instead of giving this man the decency of even listening to what he might have had to say I closed that area of my life off, shut it completely out of my consciousness. How often do I and others do this very same thing? We build invisible walls, shut out all the waves of potential and possibility and follow our habits. Always we follow "Ol faithful".
It doesn't have to just be this type of wall, there are so many we have that we don't even realize. How many do you know feel that they will never have good relations with the opposite (or sometimes same) sex? These people build a wall in such a way that they cannot use their creative energies in order to create a beautiful relationship. So many have addiction problems that they feel are so much more powerful than they are instead can be easily overcome with just a slight shift in consciousness. We all know that our consciousnesses create the world around us and more specifically our own reality. (For those who have any doubts about that I will make the next post all about a few experiments that show this) So why then do we build these walls and make it harder to find our inner joy and peace?
This is where ol faithful comes into play. We are creatures of habit and most of us naturally don't like to go beyond our borders, as imaginary as they are. Instead we stick with the same thing day in and day out instead of exploring and expanding our creative potential. There is no better quote to put here than "the sky is the limit". And I mean this whole heartedly. :)
We are beautiful if we choose to be, we are strong if we believe it. God what beautiful power! :D
Back to Harvey.
Realizing the folly of what I had done I rush back to find Harvey still there. Thank God! I apologize and Harvey looks startled yet so happy that I came back. He proceeds to tell me that he works for the local homeless shelter and shows me a badge to prove it. He is giving away papers and refuses to ask for donations though it is obvious they would be appreciated. Being financially stable I eagerly hand him some money from my wallet and he blesses me in thanks. Thankfully this story had a wonderful ending, as I was able to create!
And from what I have told you, yours can too. Just knock down those nonexistent walls! :)

Introduction
Well here it is! I decided that it was time to share different matters of conciousness and peace. My head has always been bursting with ideas and the amazing things I have learned so it has been overdue that I write these things down. I will make sure that I have one major post every week done by Sundays at midnight and will try to make minor posts as the weeks go on. Please please please leave your thoughts and comments as this is not a personal journey, but one made by all who share an open mind. I love you whoever you may be! :D
