This Week’s Quotation:
It is what is inside that counts, and there is within each person this fountain. All too often there is a rock over it, shutting it off. We noted yesterday evening that one of the primary purposes of true education is the development of this spring, this fountain, within the individual, so that the qualities of the divine character may begin to well up from inside and the individual may become aware of them, and it is a good feeling. It is a pretty miserable business if a person is constantly filled with a state of distress inside, turmoil, and all the experiences that go with that. It is not peaceful; it is not happy; it is not pleasant. And human beings try to change it by shopping around for things outside, looking for things to be more pleasant because of what is outside. But it is what is inside that determines the individual experience. There is the source inside; the fountain is there, and that which springs forth from the fountain may fill the individual from inside.

The Fountain
Attunement Teacher and Author
I first read these words in a little booklet I had received from Sunrise Ranch, The Fountain of Life. I was seventeen at the time.
My teenage heart was angry and disillusioned. The world seemed to be an impossible place. And the feelings roiling up inside of me were just as impossible. I didn’t know what to do.
At that point in my life, I hadn’t yet met Martin. I just had these words that I held in my hands. I didn’t think about the fact that he was more than three times my age or that he was an English Lord from the Exeter family. What I became vividly aware of was the fountain of life overflowing through his words. And I could feel it in myself.
In this simple text, I found the answers I was looking for. Or at least the source of those answers. They were and are within me, as I believe they are for any person. We only have to attune to them, opening our heart and mind to the overflowing fountain of creativity within us.
Could it be that simple? Yes, it is.
What is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
Yes it is that simple. Martin inspired and woke me up from the very first time I read from On Eagles Wings. I don’t remember the exact passage but there were many. Everything I read touched my own truth and made so much sense. When I asked for more and more of his books, a friend at that time suggested that I apply and live with the first one and that too made sense. That was the beginning of my awakening to so much more. The “fountain” burst open and I woke up. Hallelujah! Thank you for sharing your story which evoked the remembering that is always more and this more is always present. Love and blessings fellow awakened one. I am with you as we continue on our journey and commission.
It is what is inside that counts, and there is within each person this fountain. What a wonderful image to remind us that we are always full – and full of wonder – and full of love….
Yes, it is just that simple. The fountain is always available and it doesn’t run out. There is an infinite reservoir of life essence that we can always draw on to bring radiant life into our experience and into the world that we center.
Yes, it turns out it Is that simple! As I let the Fountain of life work in and through me, it naturally cleanses away a multitude of accumulated ‘mis-attuned’ messages held in my own physical, emotional and mental body – memories of hurt, shame fear, mistrust, a confusing malaise of disempowerment.
Such feeling memories if held onto, serve only to further entrench the imprisoning misguided belief of a self-perpetuating human story (essentially the big ‘lie’) of victimhood.
The flow of the Fountain unblocks and makes clear the lie bought into heretofore.
Receiving the soul-cleansing healing waters of the Fountain, I spontaneously give praise and thanks to the power of Life fountaining through my body, heart and mind …. and I open to the Grace that receives and upcycles all misaligned translations of Source.
In this Attunement, the living beauty of my own beautiful Body temple is restored, and in sacred gratitude happily shared with you.
Our world is clearly undergoing a very powerful Spiritual reconstruction! Let new freely given expressions of praise and gratitude for Life increase the flow of the Fountain for ourselves and our world! Thank you for this liberating Attunement Meditation.
