Herein lies the dilemma common to many: How, midst the chaos of life, to quiet the turmoil of the mind; to achieve a sense of worth; to know one’s purpose in life. Happily, the answer to all such perplexing questions lies within us.
Egoism must first be tempered with humility, that we may mindfully go within in search of our other, higher, spiritual self.
In time, new-found values replace those of consumerism; values at one with our God-given Goodness. Thus are we relieved of all disquiet, and thus, filled with inner-light’s glow, do we reclaim our humanity.

“…midst the chaos of life, to quiet the turmoil of the mind…”
Sunday, January 15th, in the Kensington District of the City of Calgary, sixteen souls from twenty-something to sixty-something, from the four corners of our world, braved minus 25 degrees weather to attend a *Positive Thinking class.
One missed her bus and walked 40 minutes… “I just had to come,” she said; another, because of commitments, couldn’t finish the class when it was offered before, was here to start again; parking is at a premium, but sixteen of twenty-four registered made the commitment “midst the chaos of life, to quiet the turmoil of the mind” through a course in Positive Thinking.
It was a wonderful experience to join with these souls who have decided to change their way of thinking. blw

Mary's email says, "Re your topic -- "midst the chaos of life.." -- not only do the questions lie within us, but also the solutions, as it all emanates from within--" for thoughts are things, and their airy wings are swifter than carrier doves, and they hurl o'er the tracks to bring you back whate'er went out from your mind." A full time job to stand porter at door of thought, for that is what governs our life, so choose this day whom you will serve, God or mammon. If it be mammon, then surely our life will be in chaos, however, we can choose the high road and strive to emulate our Lord and Master, Jesus. Thank you for sharing your well thought out 'thoughts'."
Marlene's email says, "This is wonderful! I love it, and what a wonderful start to my day. I struggle with this all the time, and need to remind myself it really is about choice. Choosing our higher spiritual self instad of egoism. So well put and it touched my heart."
