Loving Each Day, from the Angels forum

[Summer]

When we look at things from the point of view of a level
other than the Soul, or when we identify with something
other than the Soul, we can experience suffering. When we
identify with the Soul (which is who we truly are) and when
we look at things from the Soul's viewing point and really
know the truth of that, we can have the joy of the Spirit in
the midst of suffering on another level (for example, grief,
physical pain, etc.).

We are to love it all.

That's humbling because it is easy to realize we don't
always let our love come forth fully, completely, and
openly.

There is a difference in terms of what you like and what you
prefer. So you are allowed to exercise that according to
your own consciousness. When we are more willing to
understand, we have our diversity, we can be at peace with
our differences. We can honor and respect them.

At the same time, honor and respect your truth which may be
different than anybody else's. So if nobody else agrees with
you, agree with your truth.

There is another kind of voice you might hear
within, and that comes from something I call
the "emotional spirit." You might go to a ball
game, a pep rally, a political meeting, or a
gathering of people all sharing a common
emotional experience, and you fall into their
point of view. You become caught up in the
emotional fervor and know that they are right.
Not only that, you know that everyone who does
not share that point of view is wrong.

If you move on this emotional response, you may
get hurt. Later when you are by yourself and the
emotional energy of the group is gone, you may
think, "How could I have let that happen? How
could I have believed that?" You were caught up
in the emotional spirit.

Freedom is loving and accepting with responsibility, loving
yourself first and extending that love to others. Love never
erodes; it is an organism that feeds off itself and grows.

I suggest you water your loving plant with the freedom of
honesty. Un-protect by sharing what is, regardless of
considerations. You may be surprised to find that the person
you care for has as many frailties as you. As long as you
both share honestly, the human shortcomings are less likely
to be held against the other; they become just part of the
human process, like breathing in and breathing out.

In love we bring forward all things, in love we maintain all
things, and in love we change all things.

In love we then become all things because truly we already
are love -- infinite, limitless truth and love. That is who
we are.

Using your creativity, you can choose things to do and
things not to do in support of what you want. It isn't so
important to intellectually understand why you are doing
something; it is more important to recognize what you are
doing. Is what you are doing supporting your getting what
you want? You may as well accept responsibility for your
choice because you're stuck with it, anyhow. If you look at
what you're doing and find that it is not really supportive
of the success you want, your next step is simple: stop
doing it. You don't have to act or respond in ways that are
not for you. You don't have to be a victim of emotional
content and do things that are against yourself.

I really need to pay attention to this myself. I find myself doing a lot of things that I really don't want to do in my life lately.

[Summer]

When you prepare yourself to be discerning, when that is
your goal, you tune in to yourself and watch for all the
signs and signals -- both inner and outer -- that will
assist you. Sometimes when you are unclear, you may seek out
other people to assist you. If you seek out people who are
lower in evolution than you are, they can assist you right
down the path of destruction. Then you say, "Why did I go to
them? Why did I listen to them?" A more important question
might be, "Why did I do what they counseled?"

You can listen to someone and not do what they say. You can
listen to someone and also listen to your own inner wisdom
saying, "This does not feel right. I don't think I'll be
moving in this direction." That is discernment. You hear
what people say and match that against your own experience.

Then you make your own decisions.

Awaken to the Lord living in and through you. Recognize that
your love is God's love and your joy is God's joy and that
all you have to do is share -- from one God to another. As
you continually express love, you will find that you live
more and more within the grace of the Traveler, within his
higher love and within his eternal blessings.

It is the realization of this that can lift you into that
spiritual form that is the answer, that is the remedy, that
is the solution to all dilemmas. Place your love in the
heart of the Traveler. That is living love. Everything, even
your breathing, becomes loving. Your touch becomes loving.
Your whole approach becomes loving.

Then everything you do, you do for love.

A key is to appreciate with gratitude what you find.
Everything has value. Nothing needs to be different from
what it is. That's a beginning point.

If you venture forth without accepting things the way they
are, you are in a path of separation and disturbance. You
are going to be off and out of balance. You will need to
come back to acceptance, which is letting things be what
they are and open to what can become.

I agree with this in some circumstances, but there are other circumstances where I don't feel this really fits. Hmmm.

[Summer]

My love is based upon my love, not upon what
anyone does.

It is a love that lifts always. It is a love that
can transcend all other levels. But you have to
have the wit to see it. You have to have the
courage to participate. You have to have the
endurance to always turn to the love through all
things.

Have you ever had the experience of knowing something you
couldn't really know if you were relying simply on your
physical senses? Have you ever thought of an old friend and
within a short time, the phone rings, and it's that friend?
How does that happen? Have you ever gone a different way to
work, changed your mind at the last minute and eaten at a
restaurant you didn't plan to, or stopped at the store on a
spur-of-the-moment whim, and then you ran into a friend who
really needed to see a friendly face or needed a shoulder to
cry on for a few moments? What is this?

It appears to be random. Is this physical level being
influenced by a spiritual state? Is there something in you
that is communicating with something in them? Are we
connected? I believe we are, but it's not the body and it's
not the mind or imagination or even the unconscious. It's
the Soul. It's the beingness that is the same in each of us.
It's the spark of Divinity.

The clearest state of freedom in terms of relationships is
that pure, open, honest communication, with yourself and
another.

In that relationship, intimacy is beautiful, accepting,
humorous, and extraordinarily free because each of you
embraces the freedom to be what you are. Each of you shares
and loves the total human being. The beautiful traits and
the imperfections are all part of the same package.

If you stay focused in the now, you can have tremendous joy
and great fun wherever you find yourself. It's all your
attitude, and your attitude is your choice.
