The Spoken Words of Spirit--November 1, 2008

Imagine if you were the family pet. For the purpose of ease, you are the well kept dog. Your owners feed you, bathe you, exercise you, and take care of all of your health needs. Initially, you may have been homeless or housed in a shelter, but now you live in a private home. Even when you aren't paying attention, there is company most of the time. Before moving into this perfect home there was some fear, hesitation, distrust and maybe a little curiosity. Ultimately, all of that turned into loyalty, love, contentment, excitement, and yes, a little curiosity.

You might be asking yourself what our point is, but if you have followed our words and messages for even a short time, the analogous process is in play. Consider that to Spirit, you are in our care. We feed you with opportunities to grow. We bathe you by teaching you the right way to live life. In other words, when you know the proper way to do things, your life will feel cleaner, lighter and more joyful. The exercise we speak of is your gift to think, to rationalize right from wrong, as well as to tend to your body by honoring it with the ability to move it and improve it. Your health needs relate to the gift from Spirit that gives you the capacity to heal all physical, mental and emotional challenges.

When we mentioned the shelter, it was a reference to a temporary stay in an unfamiliar place. Perhaps you felt unsure and insecure about your surroundings and your relation to life. That would translate into your search for someone to take you in and to give you all the things you need. Finally, you reach your home. This is the connection to God and Spirit that has always been with you. That is when you begin to understand the love, contentment and excitement of finding a way to secure the imaginative visions of living with everything and even more than you could dream of. Of course, to remain healthy in all senses of the word, curiosity needs to be a part of your journey. And lucky you...since the universe is infinite, there will always be more to learn.

To condense this lesson, we would tell you that as long as you understand and embrace the value of living in spiritual tones, you will be the loved and contented person you want to be. You will be given everything in life that is necessary to be at peace. It is our pleasure to be your caretaker. No matter what you think or believe, Spirit will never leave you in a shelter to rot and fester, but rather invite you into our home and provide the shelter from hardships. You are all deeply loved and protected. Ingest it to the best of your powers. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 31, 2008

It's a day of soul-filled stories and happenings. Today is a good time to reflect on the significance that even people who are entrenched in "mainstream religion" actually recognize the abundance of Spirits for a couple of days. It is a shame that they miss out on the rest of the year.

By now, most of you are aware that your loved ones, not to mention all those in spirit on a higher level, are with and around us each and every day. We are available to care about you and to care for you. Keep this in mind during times of stress and duress. Isn't it nice to know that while you work through things on the earth plain, Spirit is working to save you and fix you on our side? "We are a team, you and I." This sentence is separated because of its importance. You are part of the greatest unity of love, peace and healing that is possible. We, Spirit, are your blood, your sweat, your sorrows, your friend, your teacher. We are all that is good in the universe. You are also all that is good in the universe. Instead of leaving you inspirational words, we are thanking you today. We thank you for being aware of Spirit, but even more to the point, we thank you for the greatness that you represent in life. Never, never think anything poor of yourself when you give an all out honest effort to revitalize yourself and the world around you. As we leave you with these words, remember that you make a huge difference in your life and in the life of so many others. Allow for the flow of love to fill your souls, as your attention to adjoining with Spirit has filled our essence with love. May peace always be the centerpiece of your life.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 30, 2008

There will be days ahead that many people will wonder why they helped to aid and abet in a bad choice. One of the fascinating things about life is that it can be nullified because all people are given the intelligence to delve deeper into the recesses of their minds. If you can do this and remove your emotions and patterned behavior to really think about what you want, it might surprise you that your future should be dictated by decisions that are uplifting because of a change in your thinking. Freedom is the primary goal that Spirit wants for everyone. We don't care what your religious philosophies are, nor do we care where you live or what your skin tone happens to be. To accomplish a sense of freedom and success, it is vital for you to remember that Spirit, and many people in the physical realm, are always looking to give a helping hand. This is something that you must keep in mind, especially if you are the one looked to as the giver of the hand. Why do we say this? It's simple. While it is fine to give a helping hand to empower people, it is harmful to simply give a handout. All that does is inspire people to have no will to improve on their own. It divides and clutters each person's assessment of how to live their life. It makes people weaker and less enabled to pull themselves up and be a more useful member of society.

We have brought this up because in the years to come, many different issues are to arise that will require more prayer and introspection so that a level of comfort and peace can be achieved. Many of you are once again assuming that there is a political agenda threaded through this message, however, you would be wrong. We are discussing this in terms of your personal lives and the lives of others. This is where you can make a difference and teach yourself and others that sometimes compassionate behavior can actually be debilitating. While giving or receiving a helping hand, be careful not to take away your determination and desire to lift life to a point of self-worth and love of life. In no way are we telling you not to help others. In fact, it is vital for you to "pay forward" so that you can have a peaceful feeling in your heart. Show gratitude for what you have, what is given and what you will give. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 29, 2008

It amazes us that the human society can over complicate the reality of the other side of the divide so easily. Have you met God today? We bet you may have met Him or Her or Them of It or---well, do you get it? There is a protection available to all of you in many different ways. Perhaps you were about at your wits end and stumbled upon someone who could make life seem much clearer. They may have made you feel comforted, intrigued, excited, or loved. Maybe you were given the guidance and "Light at the end of the tunnel" that you needed to absorb. Have you met one of Spirit's avatars--our Light bearers--or just a small bird to make you smile? In spirit, we think all of you have. Some day it might just be words that make a difference in your perception. Other days, it may come in the form of an actual deed or gift of service from somebody more entrenched in the workings of Spirit. Some days it can come from you!

Today is one of those days when we ask that you never give up on your positive expectations of life. We would have used "hope" instead of expectations, but that tends to be too open and makes your needs seem irrelevant at times. This might just be spiritual semantics, yet it is important enough to state it to you so that none of you ever give up on your quest for happiness. It is also quite possible that you can be God's tool to bring that sense of happiness to others. Although these next lines may sound unusual to some of you, they are vital for your spiritual growth. Are you able to give back to those who are clarifying your life for you? Are you an avatar of Spirit? Before answering "no" to that, consider that you are all an individual piece of the Highest Power. Collectively, we are a whole, therefore, without you the world would be a very different place. Today, spend time reflecting on what a difference you have made and will make in the future. Who are you going to help to feel a part of the whole? These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 28, 2008

In order for you to understand the benefits of living in a life connected to the awesomeness of a spiritual path, you must remember the following message. A bird can only fly if it has a left wing and a right wing. For anyone to think they can live life devoid of a Higher Presence will only create a torrent of motion and flapping that gets you to no place. If you embrace the "two wing" theory, and honor that there is a much more helpful energy, then your life will quickly become more balanced. When you flap your wings, they will let you soar. Like the eagle, you will be able to scan the plains--your life--while feeling more in control of your own destiny. We want you to feel like you can gain the justice and level of comfort in your everyday existence that you can see or portray in your mind's eye. That being said, why would you not want to work in unison with the true regal power? Why would you not want to expand your abilities to be on solid ground by utilizing the true yin-yang of the Universe? Spirit wants to enrich you every step of the way, but cannot do so without your participation. Hopefully, you will all understand what I am saying because we want you to have the power to soar to magnificent heights. Mostly, Spirit wants to envelop you with a bounty of love, success and infinite peace. Let us be your wing. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 27, 2008

You are commended for overcoming adversity through courage. This is a message designed to speak to anyone who is encountering physical difficulties, as well as to those who are affected by the situation. In particular, if you are a caregiver to someone who has been challenged with an illness or is in a physically and mobility limiting situation, you are sent some extensive love. There are many people who have to deal with pain and suffering on a daily basis. Much of it can be overcome through prayer, visualizations, meditations and holistic acceptance of the energies of God and Spirit. It would not be fair to say that all of it can be eradicated because there are many times when the burden is simply a lesson for the soul.

The reason we are commending you for having courage is to remind you that more of life can be controlled within the attitude you apply to each situation. If you are not fearful, discouraged or opposed to being helped, or if you are the one doing the helping, then Spirit will find a way to get you a step closer to the glorification you deserve. In other words, there is a special place in this world, as well as the "after world" that honors those who are most afflicted. There is no conflict with our previous lessons. Mostly, this is a way of imploring each of you not to give up on yourself, and certainly not to give up on helping those who need it. Although we speak of physical limitations, the reality is that this message covers all disturbances in your lives.

The honor and love God and Spirit have for you will ultimately be seen. With the holiday season virtually upon you, is there anyone or anything you can do to make someone's life easier? Can you give back to a person who gives to you is so many ways? Recognize the lessons you are learning from those who struggle. Make this a special season. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 25, 2008

Do you worry about your progression in life, as well as on your spiritual path? While being concerned is alright, being consumed isn't. When you become burdened by all the possibilities of what has gone wrong, what could go wrong and a lot of other negative theories, you bog yourself down with fear and depression. This message is not about business pursuits, but your own personal pursuits to happiness. We want to help you, and trusting in a Higher Power should not be seen as "ill-suited" as many people might want to think it is. Spirit wants everything to be a good fit for you. Why do people make a conscious choice to struggle when prayer and visualization can bring you what you need much more quickly? Did you notice we did not ask, "What you want?" That is because Spirit has the foresight to know what will work best for you; hence, you will be given what is necessary.

Hopefully, that statement doesn't make you frustrated. The purpose of the many messages and words of wisdom from the side of spirit is to ignite curiosity, focus and the love of everything that is important to and for you. Ultimately, you get to have the choice of what works the best. So, if you are struggling with something, perhaps it is time to turn your true self--your soul--towards those who can do the heavy lifting. God and Spirit are always available, and so too are many people on the earth's surface who can also be of assistance. You need do nothing more that ask, and as long as it comes for good intentions, as well as from the heart, you will be blessed and healed. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 24, 2008

Let there be peace on earth and let there be peace in your heart. We say this for a couple of reasons. Spirit's intent is to to create an aura of tranquility and life remembrances for all people to see the future with joyous emotions. It is our job to create the possibilities for this to happen. It is your job to embrace the notion that proper, positive thinking and actions will bring it into fruition. And why wouldn't you want that?

We suppose if you did answer that question with a litany of responses, then you really aren't as progressed as you or Spirit wants you to be. Our need is for you to then take a moment to reflect on the intent of your words, deeds and desires. This will give you a chance to revel in the sanctity of life. Living in a state of peace will only lead to better intentions for all of mankind. That's exactly why cherishing your individual life makes such a difference. You cannot influence anything with negativity if your intentions are always positive. Hopefully, this makes some sense to you. It should also be noted that this lesson never has to make you feel alone and frustrated. People are available to inject their level of helpto you, but more importantly, those in spirit will make it even easier when you combine your wishes with Spirit's power. Be careful not to assume the worst in people and results, otherwise you will magnetize it to yourself. We leave you with special healings today. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 23, 2008

Let us not obsess over the things that are out of our control. This is important because the more you lock in on the things you don't want, that annoy you, that are unhealthy for you, then the more difficult it becomes to be free of them. People generally sabotage themselves. They feel that the good things in life aren't meant for them, but that simply comes from entrenched thoughts. Our upbringing from our family and friends is the palate that these ideas come from. However, many of you are learning that by heeding the advice of Spirit, these embedded thoughts have no place in your current journey to happiness.

It is often said that money is the root of all evil. The truth of the matter is that it is the love of money that is the root cause for evil. What do we mean by this? All people were born into a universe that touts infinite abundance. It is those who allow for the quest of money to go beyond proper thinking that creates dissension, distrust and violence. If you simply trust that you have the equal right to be successful, then those of ill intent will be the ones paying the price--not you.

We have chosen to speak about this today because it would be negligent of Spirit to ignore the levels of insecurity and fear that many of you have in the current economic climate. This is just a quick reminder to get you to focus on the tasks at hand, and to focus on all the things you want for yourself. Peace, love, good health, friendships, money, security, spirituality, and whatever else is important for you should not be scorned or thought hard to get. We began that last sentence with "peace" because if you realize you have it in your heart, then the rest of it will follow. Let yourselves have a day and life filled with this blessing. Spirit gives it to you, so you shouldn't be afraid to let it filter between all the disruptions that others may create. Let those people keep the turmoil. You are lifted up in a bubble of love, Light and blissful longevity. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 22, 2008

We give a lesson in the obvious today--obvious for us. If we asked you to tell us what you think an image of a canary means, some of you would break out the animal meanings book. Others would guess that it was a symbol of a songbird, happiness, the ability to fly or, perhaps nothing more than the color yellow. Most of you would feel somewhat uplifted by the perception of this bright and cheerful bird.

Obviously, most of these thoughts would be off the mark by what we are about to tell you. In spirit, we see the canary as a life saver. We see it in the dark and dank images of a coal mine, giving its life to save those who are unaware of the harmful gases that they are entering into. The gist of what we are trying to get all of you to understand is quite simple. Even when you least feel threatened, or when you're in the darkest of places, Spirit is watching out for you. We are your canary. We have given our lives many times over so that each of you can live in a protected and glorified manner.

It is simply a statement of fact today that you are learning something different. All of the things you anticipated the canary being were right by your individual beliefs. However, you did not delve deeper into the unity of our melding perceptions. We see the color yellow as a desire to learn, to educate you in many ways. Mostly, it is a basic message of love and protection. When you think you have gone as deeply as you can when things are presenting you with a rocky road, God and Spirit are there before you to lift up your life. We come in the form of canaries, a smile, a hug and a kiss. Some days we come as a cloud that is shaped like an image that brings enchantment to your soul. Lastly, we remind you that you are never as vulnerable and alone as it seems on any particular day. May your walk be bright, cheerful and filled with canaries. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 21, 2008

How much compassion do you have? Are you able to understand someone elses dilemma without absorbing it in to yourself? At the same time, can you show that same person that you care about what they are dealing with? What happens when it is you who needs the compassion? Do you find a person willing to give of himself to give you a little aid? There is no crime in doing that as long as you do not become a "needy" person. To show resolve and the willingness to approach the things that bother you, then you show Spirit and others how strong and vital you are. You show that you are worth their time and effort. Spirit sees this as a lesson of success, not one of failure. If you are bold and brave enough to acknowledge your issues, then other people will learn from you.

It is equally important to show you that having compassion is the key to living a life that will be deemed peaceful. If there is none, then the world--your world--becomes a more disturbed place to live. In honor of the compassion we have for you, the life you live will seem easier as you stay connected to all the messages that life and Spirit have been teaching you. We can say this with certainty and urge you forward through your troubled times. May you see the peace, love and wisdom that Spirit bestows upon all of you. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 20, 2008

See yourself in a bubble of serenity. Make sure you don't allow others to dictate your demeanor. Many times, we find that people embrace--subconsciously--the annoyances that those around them can cause. This is done on many levels, for many reasons. Some people are quietly manipulative and will do whatever it takes to extract the level of control they want. The odd thing is that for many of them it is done on an unconscious basis, mostly developed through years of getting their way; some times precipitated because they didn't. Some prey on your happiness to make sure they will not have to share whatever it is that they want with you or anyone else. This causes insecurity and disruptions in your own personal situations, whatever that may be. Others can be victimized by this behavior and not even be aware of it.

The purpose of this message is to let each of you know that you are empowered to see through the self-serving needs of others. You only need to know that if you feel uncomfortable about someone or something said to you that it will dissipate if you learn to trust in your higher self, as well as the Higher Side. It boils down to something we have said in the past. If you LG and LG, then LG. The translation is, "If you Let go and Let God, then Life's good."

In essence, we are telling you to do whatever it takes for you to become calm, stable and serene. If there are repeat offenders causing you problems, it may be time for you to disconnect, no matter what it is. This isn't to say that you should walk out of any relationship that bothers you, but instead take a few seconds or minutes to refocus and empower yourself, as well as to diminish the importance of the troubling person or circumstance. In this Universe, only things that you give power to will have power over you. It is important that you simply think about what we have just shared with you.

If you are still uncertain and feeling cornered, we are here for you. Someone is always available to you. We leave you with blessings and protection. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 18, 2008

Do you know who you are? Life can be very complicated for all people. It is not advisable for you to turn yourself into a self-debasing pinata. It has never served anyone well when they've done that. If you understand that sometimes it is your soul that is learning a lesson and not your physical self, then the degree of separation from your problems might be a slight bit easier. In other words, living in the physical is the greatest testament to your strength and character. Our approach today is to get you to spend a few minutes to think about all the good things you represent. Have you ever done that? When you have gone through periods of struggle, whether it was caused from a broken trust from a loved one, an illness for you or someone else, or even just the daily grind of life, you must trust and believe that the hand of Spirit is with you. No, not all problems can be taken away from you. How else would you gain wisdom, strength and courage--the courage to reach out to others for help? No one is forsaken. No one is forgotten about, ignored or thought poorly of. We say this even though there will be many times that you will have done something that goes directly against the grain of proper spiritual behavior. While we are not telling you to go out and create bedlam, we are trying to get you to realize that even in your darkest hours a light is shining on you. This is a simple way to tell you that you are loved by many, and if you cannot see it, you need do nothing more than talk to God and Spirit. Reach out to anyone who makes themselves available, even if you feel like you might be over stepping the bounds of the relationship, no matter how serious or peripheral it may be. Walk with your heads held high. Be proud of who you are and above all else today, find a way to show gratitude to yourself and anyone who may lift you up. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

I need a favor from all of you. I have no true way to judge how many people are benefiting from this blog. Could you take just a minute of your time to e-mail me at info@JimFargiano.com to let me know if you have looked at it. No need to write anything long. It's just a way for me--personally--to know if I have to make any changes in the approach. Since this blog was originally created to market my book, but instead quickly turned into Spirit's inspirational postings, I could use a little feedback. Thank you, Jim.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 17, 2008

We lift your heart to the heart of God and Spirit. Our attempt is to get each of you to understand that there is a level of love that goes beyond what each of you think. In spirit, we can find ways to bring you incredible life partners, or even give you the joy of having an adoring pet come to rescue you from your emotional abyss. You may be lifted up by being averted from a horrible accident, simply by making the phone ring, or placing a thought in your head that you have to go back and check something before you leave. Spirit can make you smile by bringing a singing bird to your window, or allowing you to be in the right place to catch a rolling dollar bill as it flaps precisely by you.

Our intent today and everyday is to make you aware that even though you may not be physically able to see things, God and Spirit are still with you. We want you to know that no matter how frustrated you may feel on any given day, God and Spirit are there. It is our desire to enrich your lives, however, it is your responsibility to embrace the messages given to you and to spread the word of love and Light.

As your life unfolds today and each day, please do your best to extend the same sentiments we have just given you to others. Also, at any given time, if you ever feel like you are slipping away from enjoying life, make sure you reach out to anyone who can physically fill the role of a loving Spirit. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 16, 2008

Over the next few days, spend some time absorbing the change of seasons. It's vital for you to embrace the beauty or your surroundings, no matter if you live in a legitimate jungle or a concrete jungle. There is always a way to spot a piece of God's work. Learn to have an attitude of appreciation for what you do have around you. With this knowledge in hand, you are being told that it is up to you to create a little joy in your heart.

As life continues to change worldwide, it is your outlook on life that will make the difference. When we--Spirit--give you words of wisdom and encouragement, it is done in a way that allows you to think for yourself. Yes, our words are meant to inspire each of you, to laud you for your efforts to live with a reasonable ability of love and respect for each other. We try to encourage life and the protection of it, no matter what or who it is. If you respect each other, then it allows you to be able to look with even more importance at the environment through a prism of splendor and blessed gifts. In other words, you are the stewards of your life, how you want to live it and how you want the country and world to look. Do you want to live in an attitude of love and success by your own means or do you want to let someone else control your direction? Obviously, your answer should be that you want to direct your own life.

Make sure you look around yourself and see the freedom that God and Spirit give you. Love and respect who you are and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself to fight for your God-given right to believing in your own spiritual path. On this path you will find the beauty that was first mentioned. May all of you know that Spirit is tithing you with strength, blessings. love and prosperity. Make sure you tithe back so that you can move forward the way you seek. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 15, 2008

There are times in life when the "not knowing" can make everyone a little neurotic. Are you in that mode? Do you drive yourself and your friends just a little crazy because of an erratic attitude? Part of reaching joy in life is to commandeer yourselves through uncharted waters. Perhaps you should let the ride through life happen more easily. One of the greatest causes of physical life annoyances is the subconscious approach that befalls most people. It would benefit all of you to become more attuned to the negative aspects of your fleeting thoughts. Learn to trust that you will be steered clear of harm. That happens most easily when you recognize that the power to do this is within your soul, because your soul is a direct link to God and Spirit. Do you really think that the Higher Powers would intentionally cause themselves harm? What about you? Are you looking to strive to have things made better, brighter and more loving, or have you made some sort of weird commitment to yourself to disrupt a path of happiness?

Yes, we can see the struggles that many of you are going through, however, never should you let yourself feel abandoned. Never should you let yourself feel overwhelmed and incompetent. This incompetence does not need be something you should embrace, especially when it is someone else who may be making you feel that way. Do your job and just be the best you can possibly be. Success in life comes when you have the drive and desire to prove to others that you are the best at things--not in an egotistical way, but in a confident way. This "job" we speak of is nothing more than your daily existence at home, at work, and even at play. Expand your thoughts about what you can do, not what you think you cannot do. Too many times, those of us in spirit see people succumbing to the negativity of others. Don't let their obsession with their own potential failures be dropped on you. This is something that you should not be looking to receive in abundance. Today, and perhaps each day, make a concerted effort to do something a little different, a little better than you have in the past. Be passionate about life, about love, about showing your love to another. Be passionate about the protection you are given by all of us in spirit. May you walk with tranquility throughout your lives and accept that these are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 14, 2008

You are the hawk. You are the one who can see your chosen target. Focus on it. Feel the freedom of your effortless flight towards your goal. Grip it with your talons and squeeze it with all your might. You are the winner, the one who has claimed success for your survival!

Now, you may be thinking, "What does this have to do with me?" As you may have realized, Spirit will use analogies to make a point. If you are the hawk, you are keen-eyed and know that no one else is going to be responsible for your survival. What it means for you is that if you stay focused on what is important to be successful in life, then you will reap the benefits. By focusing on it, we mean stay intent on achieving your goals. The freedom of effortless flight is nothing more than knowing that the wind is beneath your wings. To put it another way, it is God and Spirit trying to make your journey through life an easy one. It is your job to grip it--your connection to Spirit--as tightly as possible and never let go, regardless of the varied currents and directions that different times in your life can bring you. By hanging on or squeezing this blessed union, you will reach your goals. For most people that is simply to have a life filled with love of all kinds, prosperity and success. For Spirit, it means that we are your loving teammate and will help let you move beyond hurts and hardships of all types, illnesses, poverty and so much more. Today, like every day, we lift you up so that you can soar to your highest level of a generous and fulfilling, well-protected life. May you always be blessed with the mightiest of Light. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 13, 2008

Let us talk about inspiration and transformation. Many times messages are given to you from Spirit in hopes that you will feel the desire to move yourself in the direction that will reward you. Often, we speak of helping other people who are in need of some assistance. This is where we want your focus today. Does anyone you know need help in making a project successful? Does anyone you know need someone to shop for them, or perhaps have someone to help clean their house or yard? Do you know of someone who is simply in need of some companionship or friendship? Society today does not lend itself to proper time management for many people. Spirit understands this, however, we do not understand why you find it difficult to produce the necessary budgeting of your time to give someone a helping hand, no matter what level of help you can give. Perhaps the most basic way we can make a point is by asking you if you wonder how certain other people can find a way to give back to the Universe? You have this same ability. No one can take that away from you. It is your "God given right" to be a soul who practices what they want to preach.

We would love for each of you to share with others the thoughts you have in who you can aid. Is it someone who is in your life on a daily basis, or perhaps someone who makes (or has made) a difference in your life, directly or indirectly? These people need help, love and guidance too. Whose life are you going to make easier? How will you find the inspiration to step up and give that helping hand? What is needed for you to make the transformation from being appreciative to showing appreciation? The world works better when you block out all the "maybe someone else can help" thoughts and instead overcome your mental excuses to give some time back. You will not only make a tremendous difference for others, but Spirit will also find a way to reward or compensate you for this gift of giving back that you perform. This is the way true spirituality works. Love of mankind is vital to your personal happiness. Walk forward knowing we are blessing you today and everyday. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 11, 2008

It is with tenderness and tempering emotions that will make life seem just a bit easier. The tempering aspect comes from your need to think a few seconds before reacting to the things or people that are bothering you. It will cause you to feel less likely to stir the flames of anger. In essence, you are showing yourself and the Universe that being of a more tender mind and philosophy that you are bigger then all your problems and fears. It's a great way to live life; with no anxiety being self-created by your actions.

We would also like to outline the fact that you always have a choice in how to handle adversity. It takes just as much effort in the beginning of any response to be kind and positive as it does to reply in negative and nasty tones. However, the aftermath of your decision varies tremendously. By behaving in the nicer, more tender and tempered way, you will never have a reason to doubt your actions. Nothing can come back to you to cause you to think that you could have done a better job. You will feel a sense of reprieve.

On the other hand, if you follow the problem with a flow of likewise negativity, then you will be hounded by frustration and in most cases, the problem will not leave. Instead, it lingers and causes you more aggravation. You have empowered the wrong reactions.

This is why you must not automatically feel that you have to lash back to protect yourself. In most situations, the problem or person will be diminished when you give it no power over yourself. The love of your soul makes for a more peaceful atmosphere. The more peace you can fester, the faster the world becomes in balance with the intended love that it was designed to show. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 10, 2008

When Heaven and Earth adjoin, it is the people who lead through prevailing, calm minds. Spirit is not looking for anyone to be worried, flustered, agitated, and depressed. If just this simple fact is understood, then it is easier for people to react intelligently, not out of panic. How do you see your life doing? We see it as still being perched where it needs to be, however, we do not like to see fear become the driving factor in changing a global approach towards freedom and financial success. Why worry when the power of Spirit will take you towards the path of triumph? It appears that with some creative thinking, this uneasy and nervous society will lead all people who trust in it on a path of infinite happiness. You will be led to a feeling of unity and peace, but you must do this via the belief that Spirit is the king of all things good, just as you are. We do caution that you do not let rhetoric from wolves in sheep's clothing lure you towards doing something that can ultimately be harmful. It is your judgement that will make you feel secure. God and Spirit are always pushing your path of humanity towards the gift-giving Light. Allow peace to blanket your soul. Allow love to seep into your heart. Mostly, allow the blessings of God and Spirit to enter into your body and mind. Letting this happen is the only time that being porous leads to achievements. May all of you be fitted with blessings and guided by the Light hand of Spirit. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 9, 2008

Consider yourself to be an awesome gift from God and Spirit. Look at yourself with the respect that you deserve. Many of you seem to be disgruntled with your self-created views of the world, your job, and of yourself. But why? It's simple. You are absorbing the negativity of your surroundings, like the media in virtually all forms. You are absorbing it from people who do not fully recognize the need to dispense negative thoughts as useless emotions. So, why not dispense the feeling of futility in order to maintain a balance of achievement, success, love and love of life? Why not infuse unto yourself the empowerment of what your spirit within already has? This is a new day for you to create a sense of well-being, of prudent and persistent positive views of your life and the world immediately around you. This is not to say we don't want you informed about society, but rather to get your focus on the things you can control. And you know what? You can have a say about how you're going to live and you do have a say in how the people in your scope can feel about their life. Your attitude can have a massive impact of everyone you come in contact with. Have you ever noticed the warmth you feel when you give someone an unexpected smile? Did you ever realize that same "up" energy when you are the recipient of the same? To sum up this message, we would say the following to you: Take a deep breathe in the face of any adversity, whether on the job or in your personal lives or in what you hear. Remember that by acting with passion and unabashed comfort in your actions, you will achieve the love and abundance that is deservedly yours. The Universe has infinite resources, both positive and negative, so make sure you partake in the positive. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their positive comments and e-mails to me. My book, The Spoken Words of Spirit, as given to me by Spirit, will only be a success with the help from each of you. Please don't hesitate to share with others that it is available on Amazon or my website--www.JimFargiano.com Thank you--Jim Fargiano

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 8, 2008

Today is a day that all people need to feel loved. Close your eyes and bring yourself back to your happiest, safest memory. Imagine the warmth that runs through you from this special time. Now, recognize that the level of love you think is the most you have ever felt is given to you a thousand times over from Spirit. We simply want everyone to be enveloped in a what can best be described as a hug from God. As the world and economic picture continues to rail against reality, we are here to remind you that fear is motivating panic. Make sure you don't become part of it, but instead, use the wisdom and love that you are gaining in your personal spiritual growth to be your guiding force. There is a beacon of Light that shines for you and in your souls. Please be rational in your worries and disconnect the current situation from a preponderance of fear from stories of the past. Let the naysayers have all the negativity befall them, as you are all going to expect a turnaround of prosperous, powerful proportions, both financially and in the form of peace and personally. Today, your souls should be filled with visions of what you can do to assist others who are truly in need. Bless someone with the love you have and share your intentions of wellness. This is what will make the world a better place to awaken to each day. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 7, 2008

We are in the midst of watching how negativity through the media can spark fear in the average person. People begin to make decisions based on these fears, rather than to stay rational and understand that the world is not coming to an end. While there are many different ways to perceive society today, suffice it to say that if the media ran on "Godly" or spiritual principles, then the majority of the worries and concerns would be non-existent. Spirit requests that you look beyond the immediate time frame to realize that no matter what has occurred, the history of the United States, and on a slower level globally, positivism and a return to prosperity has been the overall outcome afterward. It is this exact reason that at this crucial time in the evolution of life that you must bear in mind that making negative assumptions, and then subsequently react to the downward economy by making rash decisions, you will add fuel to the fire. Instead of understanding that the ying/yang balance is at play, overreacting out of panic only encourages more negative events.

This holds true for rash and impulsive thoughts about making a change just for the sake of thinking change needs to be made. Spirit cautions you to look at the facts, not the fictional stories when it comes to choosing your leaders, locally and nationally. It is vital that you do not discard the history of character of a person otherwise you will set in motion even more downward spirals. There must be accountability and responsibility to their actions, just as there must be the same for your actions. We urge you to carefully think about your attitudes and ask not that you just assume any change is better than no change. Fortunately, you have in most cases, the privilege of choices. This is why God and Spirit love you, trust you and implore you to use the quiet voice of love and respect to improve your world. We send you love, passion and peace. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

I have to tell all of you that I went back and forth as to whether or not I would post the above message. I was not comfortable with it myself. The last thing I want to do is to inject anything that resembles anything political, however, I had two different people read it first. I got a split decision as to who they felt was being pushed, which subsequently allowed me to post it. Once again, Spirit seems to have found a way to get a strong message out without imposing their will on anyone. Now all of you can make the call yourself.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 6, 2008

We bring to the forefront a very specific message today. It is our desire for all of you to desire oneness with your goals, achievements and most importantly, all the things that you want to accomplish. It is never lost on Spirit that obstacles get in the way of reaching these wants, but the biggest obstacle is when you stop trying to make it happen yourself. With that in mind, it would please us--Spirit--for you to push forward no matter how difficult you might deem something. How could you not be successful if you truly trust in the empowerment that is given to you? It comes in the forms of angels, both in the physical and in spirit. It comes in the form of a Higher Power that wants only for you to feel loved and blessed. The reality is that it wouldn't just please those on the other side of the divide, but you would certainly feel happier with each and every advancement that you make.

The easiest way to make this happen is by doing something nice for yourself. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant. It could be is simple as allowing yourself to have an extra cup of coffee or tea. You will be reminding yourself that "lack" doesn't equate to being spiritually blessed. In fact, the opposite is true. We have one more suggestion for you. If there is anyone who makes a positive difference in your life, do something nice for that person. Showing gratitude is what keeps the world a more positive place to be. Find out what they can use or what kind of help they need and see what you can chip in to make it happen. Of course, by doing something nice for yourself you are also showing a thankfulness that you have been given the gift of life, not to mention that you are important to God, Spirit and all those who you connect to.

May you walk with a peaceful gait and may you embrace the multiple levels of blessings that are sent to you. These are the spoken words of spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 4, 2008

We need to bring life to a fever pitch of peace, protection and prosperity. It is through the art of embracing peace that will bring all of it to you. All people are challenged at different points in their lives. For some, it can happen on a daily basis. This "some" would basically be everyone. Perhaps we are leading you towards understanding that the quickest way to remedy the problems at hand are to mentally step back and breathe in some peace. The easiest approach to fulfill this type of behavior is to simply close your eyes for a moment or two when you are feeling stressed, verbally assaulted, uneasy about something, or just going through a bout of anxiety. That allows you to bring into your mental view a couple of things. First, you must ask yourself if you want to give power to the situation or person that is bothering you. Second, is to ask yourself if you want to break the cycle of discouragement that many people feel. Spirit rarely assumes anything, given the "free will" factor, however, for the purpose of this message we will take the chance that you are not looking to stay frustrated and stuck. As long as you understand the two questions we laid out, then you are ready to simply envision, feel or stimulate in any way, the sense of peace you want. Take a second or two to absorb tranquility and envision something happy that you would like in your immediate world. We can guarantee that if this is done with conviction and trust, then the reward will be an escape from the chains of anger and despair. Let the love of life and Light be yours throughout today and all days, all the time. These are the spoken words of spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 3, 2008

How confident are you in your abilities? While Spirit is thrilled with anyone who is self assured, we also find it necessary to caution you about being arrogant or giving the impression of it. We all know people who like to bull their way through life through bragging and bravado. This topic is being discussed for a specific reason. It is up to you to be strong and focused when you're directing your life to where you want it to go. Spirit has graced you with the tools to achieve any level of success you desire--in all aspects of life. The balance you seek to have comes much more easily when you learn to be the best at whatever it is you want, but to do so with ego removed from the equation. It makes you more likable and what you'll find is those who might not have cared about listening to you or taking your lead are much more willing to do things to help. The art of manifestation comes from the "energy" you put into your work and worth. Try to solicit help, both from people and from Spirit, by creating an air of intelligence, but in a way that makes themselves feel valued and wanted. The gratitude you give will be given back much more quickly. Lastly, today is your day to feel the love and appreciation of simply being you. May you feel blessed and bestowed with abundance. These are the spoken words of Spirit.

The Spoken Words of Spirit--October 2, 2008

"Whoa is me." It's an attitude that condones the desire to receive more reasons to feel woeful. Today's thoughts are to be aware of your self-endowed negative-speak. Are you truly thinking about the language you are relaying to the Universe? So many times, Spirit tells you to be positive in thought, optimistic in actions. What we do not redundantly stress is that your actual thoughts, all that chatter that runs through your mind, is frequently sabotaging your desire to have life become beautiful from all standpoints. So, what are we saying? We want you to be on alert for all the negative thoughts and comments that come from you. It makes no difference whether they are orated or that they are just simply a rambling idea or thought in your mind. Do not feel frightened by this when you start to realize how often these things float into and out of your consciousness from your subconscious. It is Spirit's attempt to modify the causes of some of your stress. Quite frankly, Spirit wants you to succeed and feel relevant as we see all people as perfect souls only trying to learn to be harmonious in all your achievements. The thing is we know for a fact that you are, but it is you who needs to trust and improve on your inner messages that actually have far reaching power in the cosmic sense. May today bring you to a path of joy and luxurious peace, as you deserve it. These are the spoken words of spirit.
