Heaven-Born Things

“Heaven-Born Things” | Anthony Satori

“What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.”

– Marcus Aurelius

We are immortal spiritual beings. Never doubt this. Never forget it. We are visiting this physical realm for just a brief moment, temporarily experiencing the wonder and challenge of living in physical bodies made up of water, heat, and stardust. But where we truly live is another realm: the spiritual realm. It is here that we know our true selves: Beings of Pure Consciousness, Light, and Love. It is here that we commune with our collective higher mind, where we have access to endless self-realized power and joy, where we see and love God directly, and where we are seen and loved directly by God, in return.

Make the most of this physical experience while you are here. It is not to be discounted. It is a gift to be cherished. Do your best to live a life of purpose, gratitude, and love. And then, when the time comes, take solace in the knowledge that we will shed these atoms and cells, gratefully returning them to the earth from which they came, and we will fly to our native seat in heaven.

“Desire Path” | Anthony Satori

Where does the road lead? What awaits us over the horizon? The only way to find out is to forge ahead, with faith and courage. Take a risk, choose a direction, move forward. Strive to be your best self, each day, and then discover where destiny will take you.

Good Vibrations

“Good Vibrations” | Anthony Satori

“String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string’s vibration determines the nature of its effect.”

– Roy H. Williams

Much in the same way, the vibrations that we choose to generate with our being – our words, our thoughts, our actions – truly determine the nature of our effect on the world around us. Each day, each moment, we have the opportunity to choose our own vibrations and frequencies. If we choose these vibrations mindfully, wisely, and from a place of love, our effect on this world will be beautiful, joyful, and good.

Minute Particulars

“Golden Butterfly” | Anthony Satori

“He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.”

– William Blake

“A Happy Snail (After the Rain)” | Anthony Satori

“Anything you lavish with attention can become a mirror, a portal, a lens on the meaning of life – a dandelion, a muskrat, a mountain, a snail.”

– Maria Popova

The Movement of Thought and Feeling

“Black and Yellow Butterfly on Blue Flowers” | Anthony Satori

“Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.”

– Jiddu Krishnamurti

Time Itself

“Misty Evening” | Anthony Satori

“Time unused still vanishes, as if time itself is starving, and each day is swallowed whole, leaving no crumbs.”

– Elisabeth Tova Bailey

Treasure each day. Every moment of life is a gift. Whenever you can, whatever you are doing, strive to look for something to appreciate, to enjoy, to feel wonder about, to be grateful for. Our lives are enriched by the quality of our mindful attention.
