I found this on the net and i thought there was a lot of truth in the concepts....
12 principles.
1 . WHOLENESS.
All things are interrelated. Everything in the universe
is part of a single whole. Everything is connected in some way to
everything else. It is only possible to understand something if we
understand how it is connected to everything else.
2. CHANGE.
Everything is in a state of constant change. One season
falls upon the other. People are born, live, and die. All things
change. There are two kinds of change. The coming together of things
I and the coming apart of things. Both kinds of change are necessary
and are always connected to each other.
3. CHANGE OCCURS IN CYCLES OR PATTERNS.
They are not random or accidental. If we cannot see how a particular change is connected, itusually means that our standpoint is affecting our perception.
4. THE PHYSICAL WORLD IS REAL. THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS REAL.
They are two aspects of one reality. There are separate laws which govern
each. Breaking of a spiritual principle will affect the physical
world and visa versa. A balanced life is one that honors both.
5. PEOPLE ARE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BEINGS.
6. PEOPLE CAN ACQUIRE NEW GIFTS, BUT THEY MUST STRUGGLE TO DO SO.
The process of developing new personal qualities may be called "true
learning."
7. THERE ARE FOUR DIMENSIONS OF TRUE LEARNING.
A person learns in a whole and balanced manner when the mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional dimensions are involved in the process.
8. THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT HAS FOUR RELATED CAPACITIES:
* the capacity to have and to respond to dreams, visions,
ideals, spiritual teachings, goals and theories.
* the capacity to accept these as a reflection of our unknown
or unrealized potential.
* the capacity to express these using symbols in speech, art
or mathematics.
* the capacity to use this symbolic expression towards action
directed at making the possible a reality.
9. PEOPLE MUST ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN POTENTIAL.
.
10. A PERSON MUST DECIDE TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN POTENTIAL.
The path will always be there for those who decide to travel it.
11. ANY PERSON WHO SETS OUT ON A JOURNEY OF SELF-DEVELOPMENT WILL BE AIDED
. Guides, teachers, and protectors will assist the traveler.
12. THE ONLY SOURCE OF FAILURE IS A PERSON'S OWN FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS
Believe me when I say to you,
I will love you forever and a day,
and when we shall meet again,
I will wrap you in my arms.

The Friend
You may not have ever seen me
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.
I will always be there for you
I am your friend.
Someone to share the good times
As well as the bad.
I make no judgments by what you say
I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.
I will be there for you now and forever
And always please remember
I am your friend!

Footprints
One night I dreamt I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."
By Mary Stevenson
when there are times of trouble,
the lord will look down on me,
and guide me with his loving light
and help me learn and to see
when there are happenings before us
that trouble us a lot
he will make them dissapear with love,
and i with hard work, healing and trust
when i see people that are sad dear lord
that have lost their faith or lost sight
let me help them in their turbulent times
with your love understanding and light
I'm Only a Whisper Away.
Come dry your tears, smile again love
I'm only a whisper away.
Near in the dusk of the evening,
Just out of sight though the day,
Watching you waking and sleeping,
Hearing each prayer that you pray
Sending my love to surround you,
I'm only a whisper away.
Come dry your tears, smile again my love.
Remember the good times we've known,
Cherish the joy we discoverd and the love that
was planted and grown,
Your road may seem lonely ahead love
and distant horizons grey,
You wont be walking alone love
Because I'm only a whisper away.
