edgar cayce said, “soul development should take precedence over all things,” i truly believe those words. “Cayce believed that soul growth – the learning of spiritual lessons, though a series of lives on earth, on our way back to our true Source – is the real purpose of our existence and is what defines who we truly are. That growth is facilitated by three keys to soul growth that apply to each an every soul: the setting of spiritual ideals, the application of spiritual principles in the earth, and personal attunement with the divine.”* inspiration, hope, faith, belief, and growth do occur without help, however the best tool for growth is learning from others and examining their paths and beliefs and then looking within yourself to find the answers. in matters of the heart, always follow your head. take chances. if you take the leap, the net will appear! believe in yourself. surround yourself with those who’s light shines brightly. and love and love unconditionally!

“so many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun” – chris mccandless
“I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed.” -buddha

“I believe that what you sing to the clouds
will rain upon you when your sun, has gone away
And I believe, that what you dream to the moon
Will manifest, before you rest, another day
So stay strong, and sleep long when you need to
let the mornin’ take you right on through the day
And when you find you’re at the end of the road
just lift your head up
Spread your wings and fly away
When you’re lost and alone
That’s when the rainbow comes
When you’re lost and alone
that’s when the rainbow comes for you”
-Michael Franti
