==Truth as Value==
 
==Truth as Value==
 
Truth is never a possession of one, but a gift to many; each of us envisioning a part of it. It is not something to prove, but a value to share by means of love. - Andrea

==Contentment==
 +
Contentment is a certain satisfaction within the self, within the soul, that is garnered by appreciation for life's gifts or bounties. Contentment then is like a cat's purr. Complacency, however, is like the cat that is asleep in front of a fireplace, who opens an eye, observes a mouse walk past and goes back to sleep. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1996-12-26-Routine_vs._Rut,_Life_Adventure#Happiness Tomas]

==Being Divine==
 
==Being Divine==
 
It is not you who describes herself as miserable, for you are divine. You are joy. You are perfect. What the challenge, then, is, is for you to identify with her and forego that miserable shell of false reality with which you identify. Allow the light of truth to raise you up. Stretch your roots and branches. Lift up your face. Hold fast your glowing ember, and behold yourself becoming new. Begin to unfurl, like the rare flower you are, with your own petals, unlike any other. Let not someone tell you what your flower looks like. Don't even worry about trying to describe your flower to someone else. Just grow. And be. And the Creator will speak for you and through you in your being. - Jay-Orzj
