The cost of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it ~Henry David Thoreau~
While money can be replaced, time cannot. Spend both wisely.

Book Excerpt #17...The Only Thing That Matters
(Note: This picks up where the last excerpt left off.
For purposes of continuity, daily reading will prove very
helpful.)
You’ve brought your Mind to this self-exploration to remember three things: (a) the purpose of your life’s journey, (b) the paths that this journey can take, and (c) the journey’s destination.
Your remembering will begin with some more basics. But first, a request—from your Soul to your Mind:
Because these are “basics,” much of what you will read in these next few passages may feel like “old news” to you. Have patience, then.
A gentle request, yes?
It is not a bad thing to be reminded of what you already know. Most people are not applying what they already know anyway, and that’s the point. Perhaps a memory jog would be really good right about now.
And perhaps there are one or two tiny pieces of data that are not fully remembered—the remembering of which could change everything.
So please, have patience.
Now then . . . to those basics.

Book Excerpt #16 from The Only Thing That Matters
(Note: This picks up where the last excerpt left off.
For purposes of continuity, daily reading will prove very
helpful.)
Back to Basics
DEAR SWEET AND GENTLE BEING . . . As we move more deeply into this exploration, let us step back and take a look at some fundamental concepts, including this one: You are on a journey here. And no, it is not the journey from birth to death. It is a journey from way before birth to long after death.
The importance and the implication of this Journey upon which you find yourself can barely be comprehended by your Mind. It can be comprehended . . . but barely.
Is this because your Mind is so incapable, so inefficient? No. It is because your Mind has been given so little information about the Journey itself.
We learn about it in a very indirect way. Not because our elders and our teachers sit us down and tell us everything we need to know about it (they have, after all, been given no more information than they are giving us), but because our art has done the best it can to fill the gap.
It is humanity’s culture that tells us about the experience in which we find ourselves. (And this is why, by the way, the movement to remove “cultural pursuits”—music and drama, art and other creative expressions—from our schools, leaving classrooms full of children to look only at our history, is so crushingly damaging to our sense of who we are and why we are.)
We need culture and esoterics—story and song, movies and plays, fiction and poetry, and really good television—to tell us about ourselves in fuller ways.
The American poet Em Claire did just this, capturing the essence of our journey, when she wrote . . .
I left The Home so long ago now
that I would not recognize my own face.
I constructed the Boat of my Life
and I set out
into the open sea
waving to all who knew
that the seas would give me
everything I could handle
and everything I could not
and yet they waved, and I set out
into the open sea
In the Boat of My Life:
built from Soul, crafted by Heart
and with great innocence I pushed off
into the open sea
and have been away from my Home
so long now that I would not recognize my own face
but I know that Home
Home
remembers me

!is feeling and sense of being “away from home” is common to many people who yearn for the knowing and the experiencing of their union with the Divine.
Yet are we in the fullest sense “away from home”?
No. We are neither away from home nor away from God, but it sure seems that way. !e tiny amount of information that we have been given by those who simply write about our history and our physical sciences has been wholly lacking in any truly important metaphysical or spiritual detail. Or, worse yet, it has been riddled with error.
All of that is going to end here.

MommaMae's word for the day...
"I would've," "I could've," and "I should've" are usually the start of one of three things: a regret, an excuse or a lie and none of the three benefit you. Regrets are the past hindering the present, a lie becomes part of your future instead of your past like the truth would, and, more often than not, there is no excuse for an excuse. Regrets, excuses and lies keep you from having peace of mind and from achieving your dreams. Instead of "I would've," "I could've," or "I should've," think in terms of "I will," "I can," and "I am." It's easier than you think.

Book excerpt #15...The Only Thing That Matters
Note: This picks up where the last excerpt left off.
For purposes of continuity, daily reading will prove very
helpful.)
The first step in moving into clarity on where you’re going is moving into clarity on where you are right now, on who you are to begin with, and on why you are here.
On Earth, that is.
What are you doing here? What is the point of this? What is Life’s purpose?
These are the questions that have to be answered before you can begin to make decisions about The Only Thing That Matters—to say nothing of living your daily life focused on that. So the next few chapters—Part Two of this book—will be devoted to a deep investigation of these very questions.
As you move through these next pages, know that this is an exploration for which your Mind has earnestly yearned. Your Mind, you see, has been trying for years to make sense of a life that makes no sense at all. Now, thanks to the Knowledge of your Soul, you will be placing everything that is happening in your life into a new context—a context in which life finally does make sense.
