Loving Each Day, from the Angels forum

[Summer]

There are no guarantees, particularly in terms of time lines
and rewards, but if you are going to get what you want, you
may as well face it -- there are dues to be paid. Those dues
do not have to be painful.

Again, it depends on your attitude. If you dig in with your
ego and refuse to change, then you may also be sinking
yourself into a rut of resistance. Success rides high and
may miss you below it.

A great part of self-improvement is a willingness to change.
A great part of change is letting go.

Marry with the attitude that when something happens that is
hard for your spouse to handle, you will hold firm with
them. You don't say, "If you'd done it like I told you, this
wouldn't have happened." Deal with what's going on, not with
what you talked about last week. You might want to say, "You
know what we talked about last week and the week before that
and the week before that? This is another one, honey. These
are connected. Maybe it's time for you to look because you
may have a habit going against you."

If you are invoking and evoking your loving nature, then you
are fully participating in the Movement of the Spiritual
Inner Awareness and it will lead you into the consciousness
of the Soul.

Be glad that Spirit can reach to you and touch you where you
are. Be glad that you do not have to know what is in your
heart nor do you have to prepare a pure place. That place is
already prepared. Yours is simply to open it up.

You may find the perfect angel who will have so much mercy
and grace and forgiveness and be able to handle you at your
worst and still hang in there and love you and care for you.
If you run into one of those, I'd honor them as best you
can. At least acknowledge them and participate, because my
independent survey says they're rare -- the ones that will
love you no matter what, that forgive you no matter what and
celebrate you at your worst.

In other words, yeah, you had a really bad day but let's
celebrate victory anyway. And let me lead you in song.

Get somebody like that around, and if they're not, and you
realize, "Well, I'm by myself," you can still choose to
celebrate your self.

Your behavior that you demonstrate in front of your child is
one of the greatest teaching devices, and the greater your
awareness, the more likely it is that your child's lessons
will be more positive than negative.

Hindsight is 20/20 vision. If you don't believe me, look
back and see how you could have done it.

Foresight is looking through the glass darkly.

Now is just seeing what you can see, doing what you can do,
and being what you can be, just now. There is nothing else,
wish as you will, try as you will. As I've told you, my
father said to me, "Wish in one hand, and pour water in the
other. See which one fills up the fastest."

Take responsibility for all aspects of your life.

Do positive things, and surround yourself with people who
will not necessarily agree with your conditioned point of
view, but who will support an action of freedom.

What is freedom? Not being attached. No hooks to a life of
emotional content. Imagine being with supportive friends who
do not support emotional, negative reactions. Imagine
choosing people who do not gossip or spread rumors. Imagine
choosing people and places that permit you to just be
present with what is going on.

When you can keep a positive attitude, you can learn from
any situation. You can continually be growing and lifting in
consciousness and awareness, and life can really be a
beautiful experience.

When you do your spiritual exercises and
consciously attune yourself to the Soul within,
you can move through the lower worlds in perfect
protection.

You can walk through your earthly life and learn
all the lessons to be learned here but not be
caught up in the glamour of this level.

The best protection you have is your own Soul.

You can trust the overall perfection of whatever
is happening and say, "I claim the perfection and
the re-ordering that is in process. I exercise my
choices for upliftment, learning and growth. I
choose to re-unite myself into the consciousness
of perfection."

I can look at spilled milk and appreciate it as a
mosaic, a piece of art. I can see the beauty.

Manifesting material things is not that
difficult, and I suggest that you don't consider
that the end-all and be-all because of all the
things that come with material manifestation. You
may manifest that "dream house," and guess what
else you have to manifest? The insurance, the air
conditioning/heating system, the furnishings, and
so on.

What I'm focusing on in the teachings of the
Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is not
limited to physical manifestation. In fact, I am
suggesting that physical manifestation has
limited worth unless you awaken to and cooperate
with a higher consciousness within you.

It's amazing how we can sometimes be of greater
service and do more for someone else than we will
ever do for ourselves.

People have often told me, "John-Roger, when I do
something for you, I really do that so well, so
perfectly. I really put time and effort into it
so that you feel good about it."

I say, "Yes, and with your own stuff, you're
sloppy. Do you think I feel good about that? I
don't feel good about any of it because you're
just robbing yourself to give to me, and you
think that I don't know the difference. How can
you think you're being of service? If you rob
yourself in your daily expression to give to me,
you've robbed me in that same expression. So
you're robbing me six days a week to pay me one
day."

It all comes back to these questions: "Who are
you inside yourself, and who are you relating to
inside the other person?" If you are relating to
the same energy force that is within you, the one
called God, you'll find it so easy to share and
extend love -- not the personal love or the
jealous love that says, "Do it my way or else,"
but the spiritual love that says, "I love you, no
matter what."

Do you want your child to grow up to be a
nurturing, caring, supportive human being?

Children learn by imitation. If you participate
often in bonding acts with your child, the odds
are that by the time your child is a young adult,
you will have contributed to this world by
bringing forward a positive human being radiating
great warmth and loving.

You know, I have always thought this was true. And I spent many, many days bonding with all of my children. We went to the park so many times that I am sure that they are all very sick of the park to this day. But that was one of the places that I would go to play with each of my kids when they were growing up. I focused on showing each of my children unconditional love while they were growing up, until each of them started to push me away when they became teenagers. I feel like because they had this interaction with me and their step-father/father they will do the same thing raising their own children. I always had enough time to play with my kids. I am watching my son Nick, and noticing that as his baby gets older and older, he is taking more and more time to play with him all of the time. I can't wait to see how close they get over the next few years. I feel that Nick will end up being a very good Dad. Becoming a father could be the thing that saves Nick from himself, so to speak.
