To remind priests and students to stay present and reverent in the moment, many Buddhist temples have a special bell. When anyone in the temple becomes aware that they are not focused fully on what they are doing, or are worried over something, they can ring the bell to remind everyone to come back to center.

Feel the joy in who you are. You have so much to share. Celebrate it. These postcards from Source remind us who are.

I’m feeling the heat, and I bet you are, too. Last month, I wrote about reclaiming your spiritual identity, including the lower-self’s fear of letting go of the illusion to move into unknow territory. But we are not moving into unknown territory. We are moving into unremembered territory.

Your light is so bright. Let it shine fully and completely for all to see. Do not let hard times cause you to dim your light. Instead, allow those times to give you the strength and inspiration to shine even brighter.

What is your true identity? Do you live as who you are? Has your lower-self stolen your truth? When I do my regular self-evaluations, one of my questions is how completely I am identifying with my 5th-dimensional self. This week, I was not surprised to find that my lower-self was pulling back a bit.

Finding the silver lining is not always easy, but it is always there. Find that light and cling to it. Let it lead you to love and hope, because the light always knows the way.
