Thought for Today

May I assume whatever form I want in whatever
space my spirit wishes to be.

--The Book of Coming Forth by Day
translated by Dr. Maulana Karenga

The ancients knew the connection between man and the Divine. They knew that buried beneath the personality, perceptions and self-imposed limitations there lies a spirit of unlimited possibility. They knew that you choose with your thoughts the shape and form of your life. You create with your words the conditions that you will face. You limit with your fear the coning forth of your desires. You destroy with your blame the direction of your destiny. The ancient ones knew that only with diligent maintenance of the mind and emotions would man master his fate. Because the blood of the ancient ones runs through your veins, you have the same knowledge. You have the ability to be what you want in the place you may choose. Simply flow the divine prescriptions for undeterred success, “Begin within.”

I Am the beginning and my end.
