Lately, I have spent a lot of time in a day, thinking and focusing on happenings from my past and in my future. In so doing, I lost sight on the importance of today and my life filled with angst, worry, and regret. I definitely was not experiencing the presence of God and inner peace and serenity.
Staying in the Now moment is the only way, I have found to return to that peaceful place within myself, where I meet and experience God. When I am feeling peaceful and present in the Now, I am more attentive to those I love and the beautiful love messages from God. This is a practice, it is something I work on daily.
Of course, I have not mastered staying in the Now; however, with the practice of meditation and centering home with my breath, I am able to live more of my day in the Now. This is where the important things of life are born and experienced.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beyond Scripture will introduce you to the common ground of the different world faith traditions. It will also explore deeper insights to these teachings in hopes to broaden your experience with the God of Creation. It is my intention to promote peace through understanding: the understanding of self, and of others. When we truly know the essence of who we are, we are able to see our interconnectedness with all of Creation. With this new vision, it is my belief we will know peace.
