Once we come upon that consciousness of who we are, we hit the Spirit and the Soul of our being, which radiates and is aware of the God essence. Then we just get it as our natural course - to live and enjoy life and to constantly grow, so that every experience that comes to us is a nurturing experience at the level of the Soul. - John Morton, D.S.S.

It's important to have clear direction for yourself so that you know what your life is about. You might say it is your purpose, your spiritual destiny, or something like that; however you term it doesn't matter. It's a living principle for you on how to conduct your life. In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, Soul Transcendence is presented to you as a living principle, a purpose that allows you to have a focus with which all of your life can align. - John Morton, D.S.S.

I'm not here to get into some comparison or some evaluation of the condition. I'm here to love the condition - very pure and simple. Then the fun is: How do I love it? I respond with my love. Let me count the ways, and let me find a new and better way to love the condition. If you're having a difficult time, look at the ways you're clinging and hanging on to what is no longer present, what no longer serves you. - John Morton, D.S.S.

When you have your best intentions to go to God, you can sometimes be hung up on some silly thing that you ignored. You'll be wondering, "Why don't I have these beautiful inner experiences that I've had before?" You have levels of responsibility to take care of, and as you fulfill them, you go free. If you'll take care of your 10 percent, your physical level responsibilities, there's an opportunity for grace, which will allow things to be done for you spiritually even though you may not know it. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSNov 07, 2003
If you look at who you are beyond all the things that you've done and created, you are the one who goes free. You're the one who walks away - if you'll let it go. Do it daily, so that in this day, you give it up, you let it go, you cast your burdens on the One who can take them. That's a spiritual consciousness, the consciousness of the Beloved that you also claim. You're claiming the overcoming so you can go free. - John Morton, D.S.S.

We are being allowed the vibration that is the Sound of God - the inaudible, inconceivable experience. Can that be a more available or more consistent experience? That is entirely between you and the Lord. How you are ministered to during spiritual exercises is the Lord's domain. That includes the pace, the reality, and any occurrences that take place. It is so diverse that it becomes unique to each individual and sufficient so there is never a lack in what is being ministered. It sustains us. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Joy is abundant when the heart is being shared freely. - John Morton, D.S.S.

People sometimes focus on what a terrible sinner they are as if that is the key to the kingdom. That does nothing but present the garbage of the universe as an offering to the altar of God. That is not what gets you there. What gets you there is placing yourself in a surrender; in a humbleness of asking that you be reborn in this consciousness: that you are willing to be assigned to the conditions in which you find your self. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Become unlimited in your trust of God. It is in this state of awareness that you are never given anything you cannot handle. - John Morton, D.S.S.

When someone says, "God is my priority," I look to see how they are serving. Sometimes people say they are not satisfied with their level of service. They are deciding that they are not useful in their present situation and are, in a sense, attempting to correct God. Their attitude may be that they are a failure. Failure is a judgment. This is very simple. If there is no judgment, there is no failure. You can begin to serve when you are satisfied with where you are. Satisfaction comes by doing that which satisfies the Soul. That which satisfies the Soul comes by living in the truth and loving for all. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSOct 04, 2003
When we make God our priority, that is a way we align ourselves in how we live. It becomes an automatic translation into how we express ourselves. It has to do with how we serve God. If we make God first in our lives, then we become of service. We identify ourselves as a servant of God because that is who God is in this level. It is the highest form of consciousness available to us. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 28, 2003
We are the ones who have twisted and abberated what is love. We are the ones who pick it back up and release the aberration that comes through our judgments. You do it first in your own consciousness and then you do it by every consciousness that comes before you. You do it to the least of them. You do it to the level of the most hardened substances. The most hardened substance in this world is the heart that is closed to love. So least you go there, do not close your heart to love. That means you are to love it all. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 23, 2003
It can be with great trepidation that we go forward in this world asking for God's protection. We ask for God's guidance to lead us not into temptation, and to deliver us from those things that are not necessary. People want to make evil something that is boxed and categorized. It can all be declared evil. That is how the negative power functions. It is a great lie to twist and turn anything and everything into something that negates God. Failures come by the judgment that something is less than God. That is the great lie. Because out of God comes all things. God issued all things through love. That is how they have come forth. And by God, we have the strength to love all things. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 17, 2003
Do the best you can with where you are. Lift yourself in the way that you breathe. Breathe in God's holy blessing. You are sanctified through the purification process in the body. Bring your expression in this level into one that is simply God's being, God's radiance and God's holy silence. Why would we want to distract ourselves from that blessing? When we know it, we would not. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Join those that are serving so that you are united in changing this world, so that what is here, established by God, is a paradise - a paradise where there is prosperity, there is beauty for all, and all are honored in who they are. - John Morton, D.S.S.
John Morton, DSSSep 04, 2003
We have a faith that our life has an eternal nature that transcends who we are physically in this world. When we exercise it, we can experience the tranquility that is God's tranquility. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: "Words of Comfort", CD/Tape # 7827)

Keep in mind that we are always dealing with a Lord our God that loves and protects us completely even when we fall far short through our own choices. - John Morton, D.S.S.

Crazy keeps you from going insane and it's God's way of getting you to crack up, as in smile and laugh. - John Morton, D.S.S.

The reality is that things are what they are, and that all conditions can serve as a process toward peace. - John Morton, D.S.S.

The Soul is always asking how it can use any circumstance for learning and growth. - John Morton, D.S.S.
