Recognition
I have never been alone.  All my life I have been aware of an energy greater than myself that I am part of.  I always believed that all people had this feeling.   When there were problems and challenges in my life, I could feel this power pervading my life and being.  There have been moments in which I separated myself from this feeling and seemed to dwell apart but in reality it was only in my mind and in truth this separation was not real except that my perception let it be real to me.  When I look at my life, it is a living example of focus and attention manifesting that which I focus upon.  When I maintain my focus on God/Good, my life flows in that direction and Good is manifested in abundance in my life.   When I focus upon shadows  then they seem to gain substance and through this to manifest.   I see clearly that as I maintain my focus and attention to good and take consistent actions in my life to manifest that good, it manifests.  The mastery of life is in the mastery of the self.  We are all within one Unity.  We can call that unity by many names: The Unified Field, God, Holy Spirit, Goddess, or Great Spirit.  It is the thing that is, having its center everywhere and circumference nowhere.  I cannot remember when I did not exist.  My earliest memories seemed to be informed with lives before this one and always within Spirit, within a greater mind which flows through us and around us now and always.  It seemed  easier as a child to sit and stare at a flower or cast a glance out of the window or through the door and be at oneness, but this too is only a perception. Later I found that this is called meditation and began to learn more systematic ways of doing it.   In my life I have realized that a quintessential element is change and that we can let go of past patterns and limitations and be freed by a progressive embracing of positive perspective that lift us ever higher and deeper into the mysterious compassion of Unity with the One Great Spirit behind all existence: God.
