If we base our life upon the negative, which is a denial of who we are as a spiritual being and as a Soul, then that process and the things we associate with negatively can become very painful and disturbing. The reality of our experience of who we are is one of eternal peace and love, a blessing of constant, unconditional loving. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Whenever you find yourself in a royal tiff just take a moment to consider that this too shall pass and one day all the angst, frustration, and general pains in the various anatomical locales will appear to you as the nothingness from which they came. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Ask, "What is to be learned here?" - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSOct 07, 2002
When we embrace the spiritual promise, we are also coming into our own promise, where we are fulfilling the promise to deliver ourselves to God. That's really what this life is all about - fulfilling the spiritual promise by doing our part of God. One approach could be, "Well, if it's promised, then why do I have to do anything? It's done, isn't it?" Yes, God's part is done, but you have your part in the realizing of it and the fulfillment of it. It's not an infliction. It happens out of a choice and out of your involvement. That involvement is natural because not one Soul will be lost. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Allow yourself to be open so that today, you oppose nothing. Let go with patience and understanding. - John Morton, D.S.S.

The spiritual promise is not of this world. It's in Spirit. It's of God and in the perfection of what that is. And when we open our consciousness and have a glimpse or a realization of that spiritual promise, something transformational takes place. It's as though we're all candles, but we don't really know what that means until we're lit up. That's really the promise of a candle - that it is lit and illumination is the fulfillment. The candle really doesn't have its true meaning until it is lit. We don't have our true meaning until we are awake in the Spirit. We are going to do that as our natural destiny. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Letting God has a lot to do with the process of letting go, releasing what we'd call attachments and distractions, our judgments, the things we hang on to out of the past through our emotions and through our thinking. All of that is part of fulfilling the spiritual promise. - John Morton, D.S.S.

When I think about someone else, I have a loving regard toward them. You may ask, "What about the guy that bombed a village and twenty-eight people died, and forty-three were injured, many of them children?" That guy, especially. "Why would you care about him? He should be damned to hell." I don't see that as my place, in a consciousness of peace. My place is the attitude that "there must be some hurt that is so deep, so severe in you that would cause you to do such a terrible thing. If you were really conscious of your being, you would never have hurt someone else, and hurting you is really not going to solve the situation." Should that person be out on the street? Should they just do whatever they please? No. There is a consciousness of peace that stops the againstness, that is the cessation of the againstness. There are people who are willing to put their bodies on the line, who are willing to face the perpetrators of violence and againstness with the power that stops the againstness and restores the peace. "Peace officers" is an appropriate designation for those who are charged with keeping and restoring the peace. It's really important that we confront the violence that is in this world and the situations in this world that are violent. As we choose the peace that is present then we are the peacemakers. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 08, 2002
We each have an individual choice toward peace. That's where it begins. We really don't have to be worried about solving the world's problems or the issues that we find about peace. It's much more important to begin with ourselves. We find our own peace by being aware of the peace that is present. Then, as we have that awareness, it allows us to do peaceful things, to come in peace and to be at peace with what is present. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 03, 2002
Question: Is being in a place of peace a necessary prior condition to experience the presence of Spirit? Answer: I would say yes, because they are one and the same. It's not like you need to have this place of peace and then the presence of Spirit will show up, or you need to have the presence of Spirit and then peace is. They walk together as a presence. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Spirit is the one doing it, and you allow it to be done. You let go. And the more completely you let go, the more completely you're letting God fulfill the spiritual promise in you. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSAug 21, 2002
There is a relationship between what is in the Spirit and what is in the world. The direction of the promise is into the Spirit, to go into the Spirit, not to come out of the Spirit or go away from the Spirit. When we realize that, then we wake up to that intention with God. We begin the process of fulfilling it and evolving into what it is. Just having a glimpse, a spark - any form of true knowledge - begins a progression into the Spirit. - John Morton, D.S.S.

The miracle is that in each and every moment we have a new opportunity to realize and awaken to who we are in the Spirit. - John Morton, D.S.S.
