Loving Each Day, from the Angels forum

[Summer]

We're often too busy trying to either change
people or please them. It's fine to get along
with people, but, in doing that, don't sacrifice
your divine heritage that you are here to
fulfill.

Marriage is a noble institution. If you're going
to marry, marry somebody who can see and
understand these things. Then, if you're late
coming home, your spouse won't think you're out
with somebody else. Marry somebody who can sit
and talk with you in a way that you can
understand.

We are continually updating ourselves.

Come here and now.

Get along with whatever is in your presence.

The Light of your own consciousness is the most
magnificent gift you can ever give, it is the
most valuable thing there is.

Your individual expression of the Light is so
precious in its perfection and beauty.

A major block in the channel of our potential
success is not being present. Many of you may
respond, "What do you mean, 'not being present'?
Of course I'm present. Here I am."

We can be physically present but pulled by our
past and anxiety-ridden about our future. Many
people have emotional content going in so many
fields. In the dance of romance, for example, you
may look at someone and picture how beautiful
life will be together in that fantasy of "someday
my prince (or princess) will come." That's your
desire pulling you into your future, which is
often a limitation of your past, as learned
through your parents.

What are the choices? How can you be present now
without losing yourself in the future?

The Spirit moves through the heart rather than
through the emotional content. When the Spirit
moves upon you, something that was tentative
inside becomes solid. Something that you may have
thought about Spirit or about God becomes firm
inside, and you know that you know that you know.
Doubts disappear and clarity appears.

If you move out of that experience, you can move
back into doubt and confusion, and you are no
longer in the direct experience of Spirit. That
is okay because you cannot expect to live there
100 percent of the time. But if you have that
experience enough -- perhaps through spiritual
exercises -- the knowledge of Spirit becomes more
and more solid in you, and you learn to discern
the levels of the material world and the physical
consciousness (mind, emotions, body, imagination)
as being no more than what they are and Spirit as
being just what it is: your true home.

I would say that the value of suffering is in not
doing what you did before, and I have seen over
the years that once a person gets sick and tired
of being tired and sick, they change, and a
change of attitude is often the first step.

You can use your pain and suffering to show you
where you need to love and forgive more.

Used like this, pain and suffering can be
stepping-stones to your greater freedom.

As you rise up in your consciousness, the actions of this
person and that person in the world have less and less
consequence in your life, and it becomes easier to let them
go, to forgive them, to walk away from them -- because you
are walking towards the Light and towards Spirit.

You are experiencing and living Soul Transcendence, and the
fullness and the joy of that will overshadow all the things
of this world.

A lot of people look at their lives and say, "There has to
be something better, something more than this."

There is a lot more than this, but not necessarily on the
physical level. Wherever you are, no matter what you are
doing or what you have with you, you can have the greatest
experience possible: the awareness that you are a child of
God and are divine.

So begin your inner journey now. You will be filled with joy
and the glorious feeling of love and caring.

There are very few things within our world that are
inherently "good" or "bad" except as we label them. So if
you are to stay free and clear, it is important to place out
as few judgments as possible and to maintain as neutral an
attitude as possible.

To illustrate this idea, if you say you have had a lousy
day, be aware that you are placing that attitude of "lousy"
back on your consciousness, and you are going to harvest
that. It would be more accurate if you said something like,
"I felt pretty bad a number of times today."

That is describing your state honestly without placing a
judgment of "lousy" on the whole day.

Test the Spirit. Check it out.

Look down the road at the consequences and the results of
any action you decide to take. Hindsight is often
twenty-twenty vision. Look down the road and see if you can
activate hindsight prior to the action. Use your common
sense.

Use the spiritual guidelines that say, "Take care of
yourself and take care of others. Don't hurt yourself and
don't hurt others."

Those are two spiritual guidelines upon which to base your
life, two guidelines that will never get you in trouble.
Those teachings are of Spirit. Anything telling you to go
against those teachings is not of Spirit.

Your creative imagination has the ability to scan and
respond to whatever you are associating with and to work
with your intentions. Your imagination can start to assemble
forms of awareness by mocking up what eventually comes
forward as a conscious knowing and an ability to manifest a
greater outcome.

The ego and the personality are restricted consciousnesses,
and they cannot go into God, although God can come into
them. When we begin to give up those restricted
consciousnesses and their demands and desires, we may feel
pain and suffering on those levels, but it is only because
we are still holding on to the restriction and not moving
into the freedom of Spirit.

Sometimes we are self-critical where it doesn't belong. Live
your life as it presents itself to you. Mind your own
business. Take care of yourself; attend to yourself. What is
your consciousness revealing to you as direction and
learning?

Jesus spent time in the wilderness in prayer. Take time in
retreat with the inner consciousness to bring attunement so
you can know what you are to do now. You have choices.
Choose wisely. Give yourself the ability to knowingly
realize and make your best choice. This often takes
patience, strength, trust and courage.

The love of another person can support you in your search
and discovery, but it is you who has to experience your own
self-worth. If you expect that other person to give you your
self-worth, the relationship may end in disharmony and
divorce.
