These are some questions that came to mind one day while sitting in my car during a lunch break. I had been reading Journey Beyond Words - a miracles studies book channeled by Jesus to Brent A. Haskell. The section I had been reading discussed discovering what our values are in our lives. There are no "right" answers.....but the questions can serve to bring you to self-knowledge and self-awareness. Enjoy the process, be honest, and remember that you are truly loved.

From the Course: "What happens to perceptions if there are no judgments and nothing but perfect equality? Perception becomes impossible. Truth can only be known. All of its equally true, and knowing any part of it is to know all of it. Only perception involves partial awareness. Knowledge transcends the laws governing perception, because partial knowledge is impossible. It is all one and has no separate parts. You who are really one with it need but know yourself and your knowledge is complete. To know God's miracle is to know Him." "Do not perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One Light where the miracle that is you is perfectly clear."

Who am I?  Why am I here?  What do I want to do?  How can I serve?  In what areas of my life am I doing well? Doing poorly?  What do I value?  How do I perceive time?  What am I afraid of?  How do I define Love?  What is my opinion about God (the Creator, a Higher Power)?

How do I treat others?  How do I treat myself?  What are my beliefs and feelings about death?  How do I view the society I live in and my place in it?  How do I handle anger?  What has my past been? What does it mean to me now?  How do I define peace?  What has been my most peaceful experience?  Do I feel like a victim of the world?  What are my natural talents? Do I use them?

How do I perceive my body?  Can I quiet my thoughts and be at peace? If so, how? If not, why not?  What are my significant relationships in my life?  What physical activities do I participate in?  Do I care for my body healthfully?  What are my opinions about Nature? Do I care for the Earth?  What emotions do I enjoy? Dislike? Feel neutral about?  How do I perceive my soul?  Am I able to forgive myself and others?  Do I feel isolated and alone or one with the Universe?  Am I loving everyday?  Do I want to be right or happy?
