One Jules

"You don't look up in the sky and see six billion planets and galaxies, and not realize that life is eternal. We're not made up of just this little body. There is a Soul which is eternal. That's what we have to look at first. Second, you have to be doing spiritual practice.

. . . Practicing 24 hours a day is when that consciousness of your Source never leaves your mind. Whatever you do - when you make a mistake, speak harshly, or are insecure - you're still conscious of Source.

. . . One thing about religion and spirituality. There is only God in the universe, everywhere, in everything, and in you. You are one with God. God is everywhere; God is everything. You can know it by knowing, listening, by praying about it, by asking for what you want, because God is always the creator, and the creator has to always create by asking: “What do I want now? What do I want to create now?” That's your job, the life of prayer, of looking to see what it is and where it is and how it is you want life to be for you, and asking for it, and then seeing the chips fall where they should. Everything lines up according to what you think, feel, and ask for, which is what true prayer is. Do not spend a day, let alone an hour, let alone a minute, without praising loving and thanking the cosmic God Source, the Prime Creator, Jehovah, Allah, whatever name you call that Source - being in tune with that, and saying "thank you, thank you, thank you - thy will be done." The Will that you want done is your highest aspirations, your highest love. Never let a minute go by without being in tune. So that's the answer to the question, “Do I ever worry or think negatively?”

. . . It's the fear that has to be gotten rid of, not what you're afraid of. When fear goes, then you become a stand-up person and look at life squarely in the face and in the face of any adversity or negativity, and say, "I will drop the fear." Just as you dropped the attachment, you drop the fear. But you know, we are addicted and attached and habituated to fear. We seem to have our compass needles set at the dark zone, the soap opera of life. Get off'a that!

. . . Drop the habit of caring about anything or anybody, in the sense that you are disposed to a.) chortling manifestations of sympathy, or b.) buying into their "poor me" sad act, and c.) being the broker of change, and as their personal wand-carrying angel, helping them to find joy, and d.) thinking there’s a laurel wreath for your head when you’ve done that. Helping others is impossible. The only way you can help another is to get them to release their problems, emotions, unhappiness, suffering, and grief, and listen to their inner God Voice. It’s more about making them let go of the screens to vision. Once the screens are gone: they have eyes, they will see it daily.

. . . When you get up and go to bed, just clean your aura. See yourself vibrant, healthy, wealthy, and wise. See by visualizing abundance that you are the creator of everything you could possibly want. And visualize exactly what you do want to create, how you want the physical reality to look. How you want your physical body and your life, your bank account, every detail of your life, to be. You envision it exactly that way, already done, already having been completed in the matrix, in the mind of yourself. In your own mind, you see it. And you affirm it. And you invoke it. And you speak it, and react that way, act that way, look that way, talk that way, not as a dilettante, not as a pretension, worry, or anxiety about it. Not as a windbag, but as someone who walks with the dignity, vibrancy, courage, and energy of one who has all these things that you would have, in the fullness and the completion of knowing it is already done, already yours. And you practice. It's the same image of being a musician, sculptor, dancer, actor, architect, or policeman that you see yourself being that, then by practice, and doing the things necessary to groom yourself and perfect yourself, creates the perfection of that particular thing, creates the mastery of that particular thing. Without doubt and without fear, without interference, you will be able to create and accomplish anything, because that's our only goal. And our only purpose is to have harmony, happiness, abundance, and be the most creative we can be, and to produce the greatest good for ourselves and everyone throughout the planet and universe.

. . . Wake up thirsty to start your work, intoxicated to be doing it, with a yearning to start again each morning. To be able to perform the talents that you are innately born with, practice every day, every hour, every minute possible, so that you see the advancement, and you feel the ecstasy of accomplishment and mastery.

. . . When I talk about how easily I do 10 hours of piano practice a day, it will generally stop conversation. People stare in horror. But it inspires artists. I've had great musicians tell me, "After I realized you could do that, with no sense of time passing or boredom - which you conveyed to me - I find that I can do it too. I've evolved, thanks to that remark you made." But who shares intimate details of one’s passion, or on the practice of one's art?"
