Loving Each Day, from the Angels forum

[Summer]

Through my journeys, I have discovered that our Souls are
sparks of the divine - God individualized. Our Souls are our
connection to God and to Spirit. When we rise high enough,
all our Souls are of the same essence, and so we are all
connected.

We are all one. We are all of divine Spirit.

The Soul is on a path of evolvement. It is seeking to return
to its source, to the realm of Spirit and God.

It will use all experiences to further its progress along
the path. There is no experience that is useless or does not
have value because, in the end, all is for the Soul's
experience.

Charity reflects the loving that is the very essence behind
all creation. There is nowhere that it is not.

Your ultimate destiny is to be consciously aware on all
levels at all times and to know your own divinity. When you
do this, you also know the divinity in all things and
realize that it is all one.

Then, what you do in your life is up to you to decide. You
can do any number of things and still fulfill your destiny
of knowing God; in other words, what you do here has little
if anything to do with Soul Transcendence.

All love is within you. It's part of infinite supply; in
fact, it is the infinite supply. It's important for you to
keep calling forward the essence of spiritual love every day
so you keep lifting higher. Let nothing stop you from this
endeavor, for it is more important than any other activity.

Don't expect other people to make you happy; make your own
happiness. Then you'll be shining forth the spiritual love.

Scriptures of all different religious groups tell us that as
we think in our heart, thus we become.

Thinking in our heart is connecting an emotional, loving
quality to the content of the mind. Otherwise, thinking can
be limited to an intellectual experience. Intellect without
caring can be cold and sterile, not exactly an abundant
experience. Conversely, if we have only emotions, we may not
be accessing our wisdom. Thinking in our heart includes the
ability to see into what is present and to put it together
in a chain of thoughts that we can move on physically as we
share with other people.

One attitude you can take when you have caused yourself pain
and discomfort through your actions is one of quietness and
serenity. That attitude can sustain you through almost
anything. Focus on the moment without looking ahead to next
week or next month or next year. Just hold yourself present
in the now - at each point - and deal with whatever presents
itself to you in the moment. Usually life is not too
difficult that way. Much suffering seems to occur when you
look back into yesterday or forward into tomorrow.

This quote seems so true to me. I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Q: How can I experience the Christ in my everyday life?

A: The answer is very simple: serve, serve, serve. I should
say, serving, serving, serving.

To serve means getting up and going and doing what's in
front of you to do. I think we find the Christ more readily
in that serving than we do in anything else.

In the Bible, Christ says, "How do you know that ye are my
disciples? That you do love one another" (John 13:35, New
International Version). How do we know that you do love one
another? Because you help each other, you work with each
other, and you support each other. And you just don't judge
each other.

saw loving as a key to freedom. I saw that as I could love
each and every action, without judgment or concern, I
created my path to freedom. I saw that the Soul was
masterful at accepting and experiencing whatever was
presented. I saw that the Soul exemplifies purest loving
because it does not judge any choice and recognizes that
there is learning with every choice.

Focus on love, the divine love. It can increase circulation,
increase oxygen supply, increase vitality. You can feel
great. Dis-ease disappears.

have come to believe that the suffering of humankind lies
in its perceived separation from God, the ultimate source of
our power, creativity, and life. I believe this separation
is a temporary condition and that we have the power to "come
home" when we choose, to return to our awareness of the
divine, to the knowledge of our Souls and Spirit.

I believe this is the message of all great spiritual
teachers throughout all time. It is a universal message and
remains the same, no matter the time, culture, or tradition.
In the Gospel according to Luke, it is written that Jesus
taught the parable of the lost son, the prodigal son who
realizes the error of his ways and comes home to his father
(Luke 15: 20 – 24, New International Version). Though in the
parable, the emphasis is on the son who comes home, I think
of it as the parable of the "forgiving Father," for it
exemplifies the nature of God, which sees the perfection of
each Soul no matter what the circumstances, and experiences
only love.

Regarding heaven and hell, those concepts differ according
to various religious or spiritual beliefs. Heaven will take
care of itself if you, or anyone else, worship God in
prayer, meditation, spiritual exercises, or contemplation -
whatever form connects you to the unconditional loving of
God.

Expressing sexually is one way the Soul makes love on the
physical level. When you are loving your partner from the
physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels
simultaneously, there can be a very beautiful exchange of
all energies. You can experience a balancing and a blending
that is truly satisfying and fulfilling, not only on the
sexual level, but on all other levels of your beingness.

One of the fundamental human errors is materiality,
manifested mostly in terms of concern for the monetary value
of things. Greed, by its very nature, strikes against the
Spirit inside.

Once you come from greed, there is never enough in this
world, and there is always a hunger for more.
