Life
only and always brings us exactly what we do need to see, experience,
acknowledge, and then appreciate our true nature.
We make life complicated. Our perceived needs have created a complex
physical reality based in fear that is far from the simple truth that we
are Love. And we try to run and hide from our anguish of separation.
The
commitment to love is to feel our feelings, to live from our hearts. We cannot
grow what we push away. It will return like a boomerang until we look at
it, address its message and understand its lesson.
That's all it is, a message in the "mess" of life. Love is
speaking to us in every moment.
Whatever "energy" we put out creates our current situations;
what we put out, we get back. Always and in all ways. Fear begets fear.
Love begets love. Our life keeps showing our belief patterns until we pay
attention and take responsibility
for creating these experiences.
The belief patterns are inside of us. Life reflects back to us what
we cannot see from the inside, what fosters or obscures full and complete
Self-love and its flow through us. How we judge another and events
we experience and witness is really just self-judgment.
As the
saying goes, it takes one to know one. When we embrace Self-love, all the
mirrors of the ego show themselves to be shattered. We can see how we are
"fooling ourselves" and laugh at our crazy antics. It is life
tricking us into our lessons.
A flowing river of our emotions softens the edges of our rocks and
stones; a river of light on our darkness is the movement of Love. A
heartfelt acknowledgement of gratitude for who we ARE will make it so in
the physical experience.
Our biggest fear, shame and doubt is letting our Love show. As with
everything, this is what is reflected back to us. Simple, but not always
easy. Love is Living One Vibrational Energy. Love is always present,
always expansive, reaching out to encompass others and bring more love to
life
Fear is
always contractive, withdrawing from others and life. Love is being in the
same space, so open and expanded in our essence that we permeate one
another. All sense of separation dissolves effortlessly. Life mirrors
Self-love back to us as an abundance of joy, harmony, peace, wisdom,
and grace.
How do we "know" we are coming into alignment with our
deepest, truest Self, the creative force of the universe that is alive
within us? We are making major choices.
Our minds are less controlling and analytical. We are trusting the flow
of life. We are feeling peaceful for no particular reason. We are feeling
confused, not sure of which way to go because the "old" no
longer holds us captive. We are feeling
we are "different" but don't know why (Thank you, Jonette).
When we
begin to view our reality from a higher perspective, to consciously
observe our thoughts, words and actions, we are experiencing the gift of
our divine unfolding.
How do we "know" we are aligned with our deepest, truest Self,
the creative force of the universe that is alive within us? We experience
amazing fulfillment and boundless joy. All aspects of our lives are
continuously full of deep purpose and meaning.
We feel our connection with everyone and everything and flow with this
connection and contribution. We experience continuous growth and witness
our own evolution.
We live with Self-determination, conscious choices made from within
rather than from habitual, unconscious patterns or externally imposed
conditioning. This alignment is the source of Universal Leadership that
creates a resonance of love, loving awareness, that brings freedom to all.
What is
true freedom? Freed-OM, the liberation of the
creative force of our spirit, of Love. The current motto of the USA is,
"In God We Trust." This means to trust our state of being as
"God", as Love. It replaced "E Pluribus Unum",
"Out of many, One." They both seem to point to the same thing.
"God" IS our Oneness, the Love that permeates all of life.
USA. Ultimate Self Awareness.
The last week of so of Alexander's mother's life, she walked the hall of
the nursing home and to the shower, a couple of things she hadn't done in
a number of months.
She also sat in the community room and listened to the music, something
she had never done. A nurse said that this is common. These were her last
"hurrahs." The closer we get to death, the more we (try to)
engage with life. Many of us say that we can't wait for the day we retire so
that we can enjoy life. Why wait?
We are in a process of self-discovery and integration - if we embrace
it. Elimination of what no longer serves brings regeneration and
authenticity. What we focus on becomes our world. When we proactively open
our hearts and minds to who we are, we no longer blindly react to
experiences of crises or discomfort. The gift offered is true freedom.
Self-love and freedom only happen in the release of self-judgment. Life
is a mirror.
All judgments are nothing more than a reflection of what's inside. We
are offered "permission" to be who we are without judgment; to move
as Love moves us. It's all perfect and all good.
There are a few reflective questions we can use as we engage with life:
What is in my consciousness - heart and mind, emotions and thoughts - that
created or contributed to this experience? What is this telling me about
how I see my relationship with
my true nature? What am I projecting? What is this reflecting that is
inside of me?
This is not a mental analysis. The questions are to the heart; our
answers will come from our heart as the source of all wisdom. The heart
shows us our blind spots and shadows that filter, distort and obscure our
life experience as Love.
Ask to be shown your blind spots. Then observe with relaxed awareness;
the clues and messages can come from everywhere and anywhere. Standing in
the fire hose of life we can dance in the stream of its water and look for
rainbows of blessings and then celebrate!
How do I "know" what I share? The truth is for the most part I
don't know how I know what I know. And the "evidence" that I do
have is from the experience of how I feel, not self-analysis or research.
I have scratch pads everywhere in the house to write what comes.
So maybe
this is nothing more than the rants of menopausal
madness; Alexander calls me
a "kook." According to conventional, prevailing beliefs,I am.
