Allow Love to Emerge

Give love. Love is what we are...our essence -which is God and you know God is LOVE. Just breathe that in and let your recognition and reconnection with love guide you for the next 5 minutes. Just become one with the genuine, pure love from your heart.

I am not referring to the illusion of love that the world tells us we should have; you know the kind that has conditions which make us think "if you love me then..." no, I mean that love of God within which tells us how to love ourselves so that we truly value ourselves and all other spiritual beings; the kind of love that loves just because it is love and it knows nothing else but love. Yes, we are heirs to that kind of love which helps us to see the divine in everyone in spite of their faults, outer appearances and/or actions.

This does not mean that we have to say anything or do anything to, or for anyone as a matter of fact it does not make us feel that we "have" to do anything under obligation. Love is freeing. And when we allow this true love habitation we find ourselves saying and doing loving things, including things which may not seem so warm, fuzzy and comforting but they are said and done from an intention of truly wanting the best for someone else simply because we value ourselves as opposed to feeling self-contempt or self-condemnation.

When we allow Love Its way, we will do and give freely from a sense of pure gratitude and thanksgiving for simply being a purposive part of this ever-evolving universe. It takes self love to erase insecurity brought about by thoughts of envy and jealousy. Insecurity is fear-based and there is no love in it. And if there is no love in it-it is a lie and there is no truth in it; Not only is there no truth in it, but there is no substance in it. Because God is Love and God is Truth, God is that which stands back of and under anything of substance.

Rejoice in the fact that we no longer have to grasp those lies and illusions that came from our mental and spiritual dis-connection with our Source. When we take our minds off God and good...we suffer in lies and illusions. When we get back in the flow of allowing real LOVE to guide us, we experience more pleasant thoughts and bounty from the blessedness of being in oneness.

So I challenge you to STOP reading right now for 5 minutes and allow that genuine, "inner-GodLove" to emerge. It's already there operating and desiring to operate and express even more fully with our continued recognition and abiding. Breathe it in and actually feel the connection. Let this Love guide your mind, heart and deeds for the next 5 minutes following the connective experience. We have no idea as to what 1 moment or 5 minutes in love will bring to ourselves or to someone else. If we act from love and with loving intention then that is all that God requires of us. (Romans 13:9 "The commandments...are summed up in this one rule: " 'Love your neighbor as yourself' ").

Think For Yourself Lights!


"When one does not think for oneself, the mind becomes filled with not only one's own dark and deadly putridity; but conjoins with other peoples' ignorance, and the self gets lost if not buried." Neelie

Contemplate: oneness with the Creative Source

Are you growing? Growing is about movement from one point to another in a forward motion; taking the situations in which we find ourselves and using them or applying them toward a new desired application or model. It is about learning from the situations in which we find ourselves and getting out of the wirlwind which just continuously goes round and round. Growth is about transferring knowledge from one situation to another for translation intended for improvement and the betterment of a situation. The very definition of grow means to "spring up and develop to maturity". Ask yourself the question 'what am I here to express'; more importantly, begin to answer thought-by-thought, image-by-image, spoken word-by-spoken word, and action-by-action: this greatness is what my life is about.

As we contemplate on the Creative Source of Life the answer begins to manifest through our every expression. To contemplate means [to view or consider with continued attention, to meditate on]. You see, we can do nothing of true importance without acknowledging the Creative Source, irregardless as to what we name it. We can do nothing without the Creative Source because we are nothing without It.

Our growth is the projection of our private devotion. What are you entertaining in your thinking--in your mental realm? Think on the qualities of life that you want to experience such as beauty, love, joy, peace, integrity, wisdom, poise, abundance, sharing, kindness. These are some of the attributes of God the Creative Source and Substance in which we have beingness. This means we must be in the flow or on the same page with this Energy before we can activley and consciously participate with the Will of our Source with any regularity or consistency. We must learn everything we can about the QUALITIES, and ATTRIBUTES of God which tells us exactly who we are in miniature individuality. Our growth and maturity in the Living Spirit depends on our daily practice of oneness. Contemplation on our oneness with God is our daily practice and brings forth our daily bread which in turn delivers our provision.

Bling-Bling Value


A quote from http://www.lifeabundanceinfo.com/ led me to write this post. The quote is: " 'If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.' " - Anonymous

True value is not about how we adorn or embellish ourselves with gems and glittering gold nor silken threads all suited up for the greatest of compliments. As a matter of truth, the best threads and the most brilliant shine comes as a result of the purification bath that we must take often - that of ridding negative, greedy, rigid and putrid thoughts and ill feelings from past experiences and situations from our minds, from our thoughts and from our feelings; which result in showing up in our behavior. Holding onto these kinds of thoughts and feelings promote the moral corruption and acts of disdainment toward one another that we see today and we say that they require healing.

As we keep forgiving--giving these thoughts and emotions up which is a daily eliminating process; our behvior and our outlook changes. Letting them go not just when we are challenged in any given moment but regularly. There is deep cleansing which has to be done on a regular basis and doing so helps us to allow our true essence come forth and thusly, the old is replaced with the true attributes of our divine nature.

Although it may not be easily done, it is not only possible but it is a God-given ability for us to let them go. Letting go gets easier with practice and if we are really living life then we know that life does not fall short of learning lessons.

Thank God for forgiveness-our eliminating capacity; it is our "refresh button". This is the only way to learn of our true value. When we release then we will shine brightly, illuminating all that God is within us--our true value which is worth more than any material thing in existence or in visibility. The "Bling Bling" is really our inner essence, you know the Christ-self-the real and authentic self laced with God's attributes.

" 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
and strength and honor and glory and blessing!' " - Rev 5:12

Livin' and Lovin'

I AM SOMEBODY

by Glen Jones

Always remember and be sure to make a deep impression in your subconscious mind by stating and believing "I am somebody". No matter what you have been through or are going through right now...take off all of the negative garments that you have clothed yourself with and go back "HOME". HOME is the place within you which tells you just like the Father of the Prodigal son that you are still wonderful and once you come back home you can see things much more clearly. It's a state of awareness. BE AWARE! God the Omni (all knowing, all powerful, ever present and everywhere present) is your source and your sustainer. God will give you options you did not know you had and will make a way out of none you knew of. You are the offspring of that God....now you can say confidently - I AM SOMEBODY! And there is nothing you cannot do when you put your God-essence on the case. Believe in yourself because your Creator made you to be the expressor of genius. We just have to accept it and be about that business.

Love you much!

In the Living Spirit!

Blessed Resurrection!

Easter is the time that is symbolized by the life and experiences of Jesus the complete crossing out of negative thoughts, emotions and behavior patterns rooted in the illusion of fear; fear having been established in the conscious or unconscious choice to live separate from God, the Source of creation--our true essence. Easter represents the crossing over via the "transforming of our minds" from a state of living attached to external and material manifestations; to the awareness of our inner divine nature and trusting in our inner God-essence to live the life we were created to live. The continual crossing out of anything and anyone suggesting different from our Creative Source calls for the use of the 70X7 forgiveness law.

In the movie, The Passion of Christ did you notice, the more Jesus walked and bore the cross the more was heaped upon him. Well, take a good look at your life encounters. Does it appear that the more you learn about who and what God is in, through and as you; the more is heaped upon you and even from those whom we may have least expected.


This 40-day Lenten season has had a significant impact on me this year. I want to share with you a few of the revelations I learned through my experience. Unity Village offered a free booklet for anyone interested in following a 40-day Lenten program for spiritual growth. The title of the booklet, 40-Days to an Awakened Christ-Consciousness, is a tool to help make practical the teachings of Jesus to be applied in our life on a day-to-day basis. I learned that I have to keep pressing til the breakthrough of living the abundant life that I know is within my soul. Each day, I have to know God is with me, pushing me through things that I humanly look upon as barriers but to God are stones for stepping upon and lessons for blessing. I have to keep denying belief in anything other than God as my Source and my Supply in every area I must be willing to listen to the inner small voice to know that which I am called. In doing so I am surrendering my personal, limited will to the Will and the Way of the Living Spirit which knows all and whose way is absolute and boundless good.


It was not only reiterated but burned with mental impression on my mind that in my day to day walk I have to keep up the practice of denying, forgiving, affirmative prayer, and circulating the goodness that expresses through me with a thankful heart and allowing it to be my conscious experience which in reality Biblical scripture in Acts 17:28 calls "being"-ness. This is a day-to-day, step-by-step walk for me so I pray that anyone reading this will become mindfully aware of the Christ Presence which is the divine love within you keeping you standing and moving strong to consciously choose to do the Will of God here on earth.

Happy Resurrection, Rebirth and much Light.


In the Living Spirit,


Ethel
