Quotes

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

-Unknown

Whatever liberates our spirit without giving us self-control is disastrous.

-Goethe

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.*

-Max Ehrmann

"So many people work so hard, to achieve, attain, accumulate and cherish their fortunes. How many of us blissfully fill our days and nights being the Divine expression we are? This is the meaning of life. It is to be. As a result, all of your creations are a natural outflow from the Divine within your being. This is the joy of life."

-Barbara Rose

I never saw anyone as just as the world. As long as you pursue the world it will pursue you, but when you turn away from it and seek God, it will leave you alone and its glamour shall no longer fascinate you.

-Al-Hujwiri, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the October issue of Higher Vibrations!

Can you feel the change in the air? Fall has arrived once again and the cycle of seasons (life) continues. I hope you enjoy the vibrant colors, fresh crisp air and all that this time of year brings.

It is easy in difficult or seemingly scary times to get swept away by fear and to lose sight of the truth and our faith. Remember to stay focused on what you want in life. Too often we end up focusing on what we don’t want because of fear and our insecurities.

Remember to look for all the things that you have to be grateful for in your life. There are more than you can count.

And know that no matter what is happening around you that you are loved and you will always be taken care of no matter your circumstances. Every ending brings a new beginning and we always have the choice to let go or continue to try and hold on to the old, refusing to let go. This struggle with what is will only cause suffering. Move on and embrace what is; knowing that life will match this higher energy or vibration and manifest more for you, for us, for everyone.

This month’s featured article is: What is your master goal in life?

Please help me by forwarding this e-newsletter to the people you feel will benefit from this information.

As always, I appreciate your support, friendship and presence in the world. May the miracles of everyday life fill your heart with joy, your mind with peace and may love abound in your life in these miraculous and amazing times.

Love and Blessings,

Tim Custis

FEATURE ARTICLE:

What is your MASTER goal in life?

To me this is an interesting question. I know that if you had asked me this question in high school, my answer would have been very different than in my 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and even now in my 50’s. As I mature, my priorities, goals and understanding of life has changed dramatically. My past came with a lot of distractions. Even today I find if I am not paying attention it is easy to get misdirected. As we evolve as a society, it seems to me there are more and more THINGS to get detracted by. Do you feel there is a master goal for each one of us? What would that be for you?

Today I recognize the gift of life and see the beauty in creation, which is something that I was not aware of early on in life. I understand that being of service and living a moral life is paramount. Moreover, that the perfection of life carries with it suffering and it is through this suffering that we are offered the greatest opportunities for change and growth. It is how we deal with these challenges that life presents us, that determines the intensity of our suffering (the path of least resistance). So in that regard we have control over the uncontrollable. No person, event or experience can take you away from your peace unless you choose to let it.

About the Global Healing Circle

Our mission is to create a safe and healing environment for those who wish to connect with others while exploring their own path in life. We do not practice religion but draw from our own life experiences so we may come together as equals to foster the growth of who we are as human and spiritual beings. We seek to learn about ourselves for the betterment of our lives, relationships and for the healing of our planet. We do this with the understanding that changing the world first begins with changing ourselves.

The Global Healing Circle was created with my friend Suzy Baldwin we will encourage you to participate more in the process of creating your life by releasing blocks, setting new goals and reaching for new heights. We believe that your potential as an individual, and our potential as a global community, is unlimited. 

Those who choose to join our circle will be part of a process that is ever-changing and ever-evolving to meet the needs of the group. Individually, we will explore, honor, and learn from our differences. United, we will connect, inspire, and reach for something greater than that which we currently know.

Come try us out. Do as much or as little as you like. Share, only, if and when you’re ready. If it feels like home, stay awhile. If it does not, we thank you for your time and consideration, and send you blessings as you travel onward. Whoever, wherever you are, we honor you as part of the whole.

The meetings are free and everyone is welcome. So if you are ready, we invite you to join us. Dates and time listed below.

The address is 330 Melville Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301
