Autumn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
John DavisBy the time we come into Autumn, we have a series of events that have made up our year. Autumn is a time to release the tensions and celebrate the joys of our lives. The growth of the year has to be set aside so new growth can come in the spring. Throughout our lives we have events that make up our experience. To step forward in our personal growth we must drop the "leaves" that no longer serve us. The new life that unfolds will be a relief (pardon the pun).

In my personal past I had two wives that cheated on me and left me. This left me with a serious trust issue that still from time to time has been rearing its ugly head. I am very fortunate that in my life I now have a wonderful partner who is very caring and understanding. It is not fair of me, however, to foist my own demons upon her. A time comes when you shed the fears of your past, draw time close and live a very present life so a new pattern can be formed. Fear is not a dish to be shared.

I prefer to call the season Autumn rather than Fall. For the process of shedding that which no longer serves you is very healing. It is not a fall, but a beautiful autumn with glorious colors and temperatures. Enjoy the process. Be active in the shedding and anticipate with full joy the new growth that will show itself present in your life.

I thank Kelly for being caring and supportive in the times when I slipped. I apologize to her for having those moments affect her. This autumn, what fear can you release? Who has been receiving the brunt of your fear? Appreciate them for doing so. Apologize to them for affecting them negatively. Release the fear and create a joyful life.
 
If two people leave for a trip in two different cars and one leaves two hours before the other, he is further along in the trip. Does this make him better than the other? There is no hierarchy.

Book Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conversations with God Book One by Neale Donald Walsch

I recently had the opportunity to hear the book Conversations with God on audio book. Many years ago I read the book and was amazed by it. Hearing it again after all these years reaffirmed many things in my life, most of all my teachings. I am a believer that when you hear truth you know it. Hearing these words as I was on a long drive gave me chills many times. Not only were some of the teachings exactly what I teach now, but may times in very similar wording.

This book shares a truth about us and our place in the universe that many would think incredible. The book speaks of the fact that we are co-creating with the Source of all. . .that it is through our very belief that we experience our outer world. This very much matches the teachings of Jeshua, Buddha, Krishna and more. I highly recommend this book as a primer for spiritual thought.
 
It is this moment we create our future. Walk away from guilt and failure. Don't let fear hold you in place.
~ John Davis

Peniel Action Steps - Assessment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take this month to really assess where you are with the fear in your life.  Discover if those fears have affected others negatively. If so apologize and thank them for being your steam valve. Take mental stock of your emotions and begin to assess before reacting. Your positive actions will alter your experience. "Be an Action Hero not a Reaction Zero." (Thanks to author Louis Charles for the quote).
