Loving Each Day, from the Angels forum

[Summer]

We do not have to suffer to get to God, yet our suffering
can serve a purpose because it can make us so uncomfortable
that we may say, "There must be something different," and we
may turn to God.

Don't sell yourself short; take care of yourself. Maintain
your dignity and self-respect. Maintain your objectivity. If
you've played the fool, admit it. Say, "Yeah, I did that."
That's being objective and responsible at the same time.

As you allow yourself the freedom to be who you are (it's
called accepting and loving yourself with no guilt or
judgments), you can also increase your ability to have a
fulfilling, intimate, real, and lasting relationship with
another person.

In awareness, figure out what is going on with you inside.
As you start to go toward "your future" in the form of
another person, another relationship, another financial
venture, another job, or another physical location, are you
going forward, as you are right now?

Or are you going forward into fantasyville in order to
escape from a feeling of loss, which may be based on past
experiences? Before you get with that reactive elevator or
yo-yo, it can help you to recognize that an external
situation will not solve an internal conflict.

In some organizations, you have to believe what they tell
you to believe. You have to have faith according to how they
set out faith principles. You have to take someone else's
authority over your own. The beingness in you is the same
beingness that is in them, but they are claiming their right
to develop and exercise their beingness yet denying you the
same right.

You have to decide whether or not that is all right with
you. If it's not, you develop your own beingness. You search
for your own faith. You discover your own answers to
questions. Will you be able to do a perfect job? Probably
not. Why not? Because you are not going to be able to look
at the totality of your beingness from this level. Your
body, mind, emotions, and imagination are finite. That is
part of the frustration, and it's also part of the mystery
and the magic. When you realize that there is more happening
here than appears on the surface, you will start being able
to perceive some of the answers that reflect the presence of
Spirit.

It's being objective just to express to people the truth of
whatever is present for you. If they tell you something that
matches with your experience, it's fine to say, "Yes, I see
that. I understand that." If they tell you something that
doesn't match, it's fine to say, "That may be true for you,
but I can't see it. And because I can't see it, I'm not
submitting to it. I am not entering into that process."
That's called being true to your own consciousness. It
allows you to function within your own loving objectivity.

You don't fail. You just achieve whatever it is you achieve.
You create "failure" by setting expectations that are never
realistic and then beating yourself up when you don't
fulfill them.

That's called crazy, friends.

We are all gathered here as a process of peace. This is a
life long process. It is the presence and the vibration of
peace. Being aware of this is a blessing of peace.

So at some point we stop asking questions and we
just start being who we are spiritually -- not
our personality, which is the apparent reality,
but the authentic one, the Spirit inside, the one
that never died.

The miracle starts with acceptance.

When we come to that place where we accept ourselves the way
we are without judgment, we are then in a great position to
give up any attachment to what we are not. It is those
attachments to "what should be," to "I should have" and to
"they ought to" that can produce anger, fear, resentment,
rejection, or guilt -- five major emotions that can block
you from everything you want.

Give yourself whatever time it takes to come to that place
of acceptance. We human beings have many conditioned
barriers to transcend. Be patient with yourself as you seek
to improve your life. Most important, be loving. There is
never a good enough reason to take away loving.

If you want success in your life, it's time to recognize
that you cannot change the past. This isn't just 20 years
ago; you can't even change what happened 20 seconds ago. You
can't change things so your mother or father would have
loved you the way you may have wanted them to. You can't
change things in the past so you would have expressed love
the way you might have wanted to.

What a waste of time it is to put your energy into something
that is really a bucket of ashes. The past is dead. Why
continue to put energy into a ghost?

The best you can do with the past is to use it as a
reference point, like a scientist does with an experiment.
If you need to look at it, do so with awareness. Without
emotional content, see what happened; see it for
information, not for blame or judgment.

There may also come a time when you have no need even to
look at the past. You can simply let it go immediately, so
you have all your energy present for living in the present.

We can see that suffering is an attitude -- a point of view
and a point of identification. We all have experienced
suffering in our ego, which generally suffers when it cannot
get its own way and have the things it wants -- when it
wants them and the way it wants them. In short, the ego
creates its own suffering out of its own desires and
demands.

The Soul does not suffer. Instead, it looks at every
situation as an opportunity to get more experience.
