Love Generator

I ran across a line in the I Am Discourses yesterday that really struck me. It was about consciously generating Divine Love. I have been concentrating on receiving Divine Love and letting Divine Love flow through me but it never occurred to me that I can be a source of Divine Love, that I can consciously choose to generate Divine Love and give it to the world. Let us all be great big Love Generators today and all days. Let Love and Joy radiate out from us and be reflected back to us a thousand fold. The Source of all power and energy is in us. Let us light up the world! Blessed be.

The B's Knees

Some of the information I read talks about how we are all one and that God is inside us. Others talk of spirit guides and angels that surround us and offer support. So is guidance separate from me or is it a spiritual extension of my Being? I look down at my body and ask: Is my knee a part of my greater body or an individualized presence that helps me walk? My knee certainly has a voice of its own, sometimes creaking when I walk, offering opinions on which direction is comfortable to move. I can talk to my knee and direct my energy to my knee. I can listen to my knee and receive information that can benefit both my knee and my body as a whole. But the knee is not the body anymore than any other part by itself is the body. Yet the knee contains the DNA of the whole within each cell. The body can live without some parts, like a knee, yet cannot survive long without others, such as heart and lungs. But none of the parts can be the whole body by itself. The parts are not the whole but the whole is in the parts. But I think the key is realizing that I am my knee and I am my body depending on where I focus my attention. And, of course, knowing that I am more than my physical body. So, to bring it back to spirit guides, I believe that my guides and  angels are parts of me, like my knee, and that they are a part of a greater me, like my knee is a part of my body. So we are all one yet we can support ourselves using greater parts of ourselves in service through divine love. And as I give attention to something, so do I direct my energy.

Truth

I have had issues in the past with inadvertently saying something that caused upset in someone else. I usually felt blindsided by these incidents because I was not intending upset.  At the time of one of the more dramatic incidents, I realized that I was not responsible for other people's feelings and that became my mantra when others chose to become upset over what I viewed as an innocent expression of me. However, I became aware of a new level of thinking this morning about this issue - speaking my truth.

GS: Your truth is the essence of who you are. When you are open to expressing the being that you are, your truth is your voice. Your truth is your action. Nothing and no one can assail your truth, the truth of who you are. There is no need to defend, no need to protect, no need to censor. Be the truth of who you are. Speak the words that come from the divine center of love that you are.  Fear not the power of your words but embrace this power, trust this power that each word you speak from your truth blesses the world and allows the energy that flows through you to be made manifest. Speak the words. Let them flow forth as a gentle rain upon a thirsty world. Let the words fall as they may, trusting that they will find their way to ears that choose to hear. Your words do not depend upon others’ need to hear. They are in themselves reason to speak. Trust the words and your voice that would speak them. Bless the world with your words.

Free Falling

GS: You are indeed on a precipice. Your world is on a precipice. The energy you feel at this time is excitement mixed with a little fear of the unknown. Anticipation, as it were. Stay in the present moment with this energy. Now is not the time to run off into dark hallways of imagined pasts or futures. Feel the energy as a gateway into your access to your greater self. Feel the potentiality of this energy. Feel all possibilities open up before you. Picture yourself on your cliff about to jump off or perhaps even imagine that you have already jumped off and are now free falling. Now falling through space and time is a very pleasant experience if you can remove from your mind any beliefs or fears around hard landings. This energy is not about landing. This energy is about releasing yourself from limitations and embracing your own power. The seat of your power is in the core of your being and is not affected by falling or landing or your own perceived monsters. Sink into your center and know your true being and all the outside world will fall into line – as you speed through your space and time in free fall.

Our Heart's Desires

Conscious creation contains several steps. Two of the key steps for me at this point are determining what I want and believing it is possible to have what I want. Somewhere along the line, I got the idea that what I wanted was in danger of being snatched from me or denied completely by malevolent forces. What I wanted was a treasure to be hidden and protected from the bad meanies out to get me. And it sometimes seemed simpler to not want anything and just cope with whatever trickled down the Universal pipeline to me. I have done such a great job of protecting myself that now I am not always aware of what I want. And when I do happen to ask for something and actually get it, I feel oddly uncomfortable, like the Desire Police are going to come up to me at any minute and say “Hey, you, what do you have in your hands? Where did you get that? Who told you that you could have it?” Add to that mix an unhealthy dose of parental and societal expectations of what one is supposed to want and do in her life and you end up with one confused human being. And I do not believe I am alone in my confusion. Who could possibly be an authority greater that our own selves in determining what we want? We know what feels good, what delights us, what brings us joy. But do we believe we can have these things? Do we feel someone else has to suffer or do without if we obtain what we want? Does this make us selfish or a more empowered and joyful person? What if all things are possible, especially including actualizing our heart’s desires? What if we live in a safe and beneficent Universe? What if the Universe wants to serve us and bring to us whatever we ask for? What if by serving ourselves by bringing ourselves joy, we serve others by showing them what is possible for them too? What if we are the determiners of what is real? Conscious creation requires stepping out of the box of beliefs in limitation and scarcity and stepping into a world where anything can happen if we but make it so.

The Present in the Past

GS: The past is always open to interpretation as the only part of the past that actually exists is the part you hold onto in memory in the present moment. These parts of your past are chosen by you and are fed energy by you here in the now. Being fed energy, these pieces of your past can grow, morph or change as your viewpoint on your past changes.  This can be used as a learning tool for the evolving soul or as a method of browbeating yourself for perceived failures or inadequacies. This is always your choice. Thus you can experience a trauma and in your memory of this trauma learn to release the feelings that were generated and held onto and move your viewpoint from hurt and anger into one of love and acceptance through forgiveness. Or you can continue to focus on the trauma, feeding the trauma more energy as you remember, continuing the trauma’s effect in your present life and perpetuating the sorrow, rage and violation into your daily life. The willingness to consider different perspectives, different choices, different ways to direct your thoughts is always the first step to a happier present. Allowing the gift that all experiences can give to come forth even over a traumatic event is a sure way to heal. There is always a gift, something to be learned or realized that the trauma played out for you in graphic detail. Choosing the extent of the past’s influence upon you is determined by you in the here and now. Choose wisely for a happier life. 

One and Many

GS: Your destiny is of your own making. There is no grand plan in which you are an integral part. Rather it is more a design that comes from the heart of your own Being that spreads out into all directions with the urging to experience as much as possible. From this creative impulse, your lives travel outward into many dimensions. You, the you that you live with every day, are in the center of your dimension and your you-ness also radiates outward from your position in time and space. You are the still point within your self and your self is the still point within a greater self and that greater self is a still point within an ever greater self and so on. You are the one and the many. There is no paradox here, this is not a polarity of thinking. The same thing can be two things at once, depending upon your perspective. Feeling One and Many at once can open yourself up to the knowledge of your own divinity.
