The odd thing about any success is that it comes to everyone in cyclic periods and in sporadic amounts. It waxes and it wanes. It expresses moments and manners of glory, and manners and moments of tears and angst. But all glory is eventually fleeting and all success comes back again in time if worked for and if allowed....... Don't stop it! Interestingly enough, to finally witness a rise of some period of great success and after a great amount of work, one also needs to clear the clutter of the past to allow space for the success to come to fruition and to gain any lasting roots. The difficult part of this all is in the waiting, and yes, this requires great personal patience and work, and yes, personal commitment to the experience of existence. Meditation brings a stillness of the mind and of the spirit. Meditation creates the manifested soulful eddy's necessary for a true and a powerful re-creation to exist. Success is the icing on the cake that comes to be after a great amount of commitment and work. When it finally comes, don't shut it down, for as with all glory, success is fleeting as well and it won't wait forever for you. Consciously choose to BE, for if you choose not to, as Shakespeare said so well, you will have chosen "not to BE!" - WD Allan

There are plenty of reasons in this world to nest yourself into various shells of safety and perceived security based upon fears of the activities and the daily happenings of the world. There are as many reasons however to risk that openness of the soul that allows you to both interact with and to perceive the world bo...th as you see it and as it truly is. This includes the perceptions of personal interaction with others, with loved ones, and a manifest choice to make of life what you truly wish of it. This in the purest of ways includes a core understanding of what goes on around you. A good friend once said that "sometimes you just have to risk being hurt, in order to benefit from what life and existence truly has to give instead of playing sentinel in guard against a life where hurt might always be a possibility". Live life, and allow yourself to BE, instead of just putting part of yourself into the vast equation. to do the latter reduces ones own true RE-CREATION of the moment of life!- WD Allan

A singular conscious existence, amongst a collective conscious reality. Both impossible without the other and relative to each other. - WD Allan

As I've stated clearly and repetitively throughout my expressions of spirituality, I believe with all of my soul that everyone at some time faces some point of personal "darkness" that acts as a personal re-creation engine of existence. These states of "darkness" are variable and take on their deepest meanings mostly for the souls who engage their own re-definitions as their pathways continue to unfold. Also without any doubt, I adhere to the premise that when everything has come to pass, if one holds true to his or her true self as this sense of "being" unfolds along that winding pathway, everyone will come out of the other side more than just recognizing themselves as an enhanced being. They will re-emerge as a spiritual engine of creation manifesting a personal future precisely as its meant to be. The biggest trick? Holding true to yourself and having some faith that in many ways, this is the way it was meant to be. YOU"LL BE JUST FINE in the long-run! - WD Allan

The question "Does this really matter?" has reduced many a moments anxiety, it has retracted many a moments traffic anger and it has expanded the perspective of many a possible interpersonal bit of strife with others for me personally. This question is in spiritual terms, one of the more potent and existence-creating manifesting collection of letters that people as a whole would probably be better off adopting and having it emblazoned into their conscious minds! :)

Isn't it frequently amazing how we all qualify the means to happiness? In one period of life, its the money that will make us happy. The next reveals that its that relationship that will satiate our soulful appetites. We do cross the River Desire for happiness through food, through drink, through religion, through television, through sport and an array of other "get-aways" that we're convinced turn our inner emotive engines towards happiness, when the reality stands that the source of our happiness resides in one place and one alone. Our happiness resides within ourselves! Deep down at the core of who we truly are and to the means of that feat that we call meeting our internalized expectations of ourselves. As long as one is convinced that happiness has not been achieved yet in life, then happiness will always remain a feat yet surpassed instead of a moment of existence now being adored!!! BE HAPPY, don't just "SEEK" or "WANT" HAPPINESS!!! All they will give you is a sense of seeking and wanting in your life. "BE" - WD Allan

I recall a wise soul who I knew a long time ago say that ""faith" is a five lettered word that describes that soulful presence that everyone was already well aware of, some have acknowledged usually on their worst of days, while others have yet to visit their worst of days!" Some liken faith to a spark of spiritual fortitude, while others use it as a convenient means of explaining their beliefs. The thing that never really rises in such verbal tate-a-tate's is that whether or not someone chases faith, lives with faith, or runs from it, everyone is well aware of what it means, from where it comes and why it is so descriptive of the essence of spiritual thought. Denial is a powerful thing! Sometimes however, there are qualities that just don't easily fall under its vast influence! - WD Allan

One can easily grow so accustomed to that "non-fanciful" life that eventually all of our bright expectations that once would fill the great halls of the palaces of the world, now become relegated to the thing of mere fantasy and are usually limited to a burp of a dream left asunder to most mornings. To believe in miracles again is left right along with it for many people and this is unfortunate. When the "magic of the heart and the soul" yield to mere normalcy in life, we lose some factor of the re-creation of our existence. To light it afire again sometimes never happens, and then again, sometimes does. When it does, one begins to re-awaken to his or her true self and then begins to realize that the cobwebs of normalcy crippled their creativeness and dulled their senses. This is why psychics talk of a re-awakening in regards to the senses, and why religious devotes speak of " divine interventions" of some sort to turn the course of life's surreal ships!

RE-AWAKEN TO THE MAGIC OF YOUR OWN RE-CREATION!!! RE-AWAKEN TO THE MAGIC OF YOUR OWN BRILLIANCE!!! RE-AWAKEN TO THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE.......YOU!!!!!!!

YOU ARE BRILLIANCE MANIFESTED IN FORM!!!

BELIEVE IT, AND ALL WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE!!! - WD Allan

There is the age-old tale of the merchant who sought his riches off of the backs and the labors of all others. He spent the better part of his life manipulating people, ruining others pursuits and at the point of his death, he was monetarily one of the wealthiest men in his land. His life in economic terms was a raging success. When on his death bed a Priest asked him if there were anything he would have done differently in his life? To this, the man lay in deep thought for some time finally answering "yes! I would give up all of my riches and all of my successes to have felt the warmth of the love of others in my life, for in my pursuits, I lost all of the affection of others in lieu of the money and the success I gained. Money is not love, and love is not money. Money is a tool and nothing more."

Never fear success and never fear financial success! As the sage spoke however, success is best never gained through the pain and at the cost of others. True success is usually manifested in some way within the family of humankind's benefit! - WD Allan
