Loving Each Day

[caressa]

The spiritual master is one who stands in representing the consciousness of loving.

As we seek that consciousness in the world through a direct relationship, often we are looking for what we would call a true love. We want to find somebody we can truly love, where
the fullness and the power of our own loving can be entirely opened and revealed to us.

We want to find someone who has the consciousness to fully accept and love who we are and then return that loving in the fullness of who they are. As we realize this consciousness, we come to a place of knowing that it is beyond a personality, and we start seeking it in someone who has that wisdom as a direct experience.

Some problems don't have to be solved by actions or words.

Time will solve some problems in and of itself.

It can happen if you are strong and loving enough to get out of the way and let Spirit work in Its own perfect timing.

You are placed on the planet with everything you need
already inside you. You can't be upset unless you allow it.
You can't be controlled unless you allow it. This puts you
in a unique position.

You are a creator. You can create discord or harmony,
despair or happiness, depression or joy, lack or
productiveness.

Reach out and embrace the Mystical Traveler in your inner awareness.

Know that form as the essence of yourself, your Inner Master, which is closer to you than your breath, more real than any other level. Know that in the Traveler's love, you are walking straight into the heart of God, and awaken to the pure form of God's beingness.

You love just because you're going to love.

A statement of your maturing behavior is, "I love you because of who I am."

- John-Roger

[caressa]

Be selective. Attempt to discern the Spirit that you sense communicating with you.

Check your levels carefully to see if you can detect where that communication is coming from. Out of past programming by your parents or your school? Out of the basic self attempting to complete some past pattern? Out of a level of fear not wanting to face reality? There are a lot of possibilities.

In our process of dealing with the world, we play two sides. One side we could refer to as the negative, the painful, or the disturbing. The other side would be the loving, the light, and the beautiful. As we learn to play this game between two sides, we realize that one is more of our nature, or sometimes it's more of the way we would like to
be. In other words, we can look upon ourselves as actually being unloving, or dark, or deep down inside, I'm no good.

We can still realize, however, that underneath our negative picture of ourselves is the desire to be good. Choosing the good can be done regardless of what the world is dealing out.

When the human consciousness inflicts itself upon another
human consciousness - when it creates harm, hurt, pain,
etc., through physical action, thought patterns, verbal
expression, dishonesty, deceit, financial fraud, emotional
control patterns, or any other way - it is held accountable
for that and will be given the opportunity to clear the
action and bring it into balance.

No one has the right to harm or hurt another, in any way.
When that happens, the action must be balanced; it is the
law of cause and effect. If you cause imbalance, the effect
is that the imbalance is returned to you, as its creator,
and you get to make it right.

This, in essence, is the action of karma. It is a just and
fair action. And it is the creation of karmic situations
that institutes the action of reincarnation.

To anchor yourself in the past as a point of refuge or
security is to drag anchor in this whole process that is
life. You'll never really get out into the ocean to see what
is going on.

To project yourself into the future means you will never
have fulfillment in the present. If God is delivering
everything now (and believe me, that is so), why are you
concerned with the past or future?

- John-Roger with Paul Kaye
(From: What's It Like Being You?, p. 146)

We're doing all things in God's name or the Spirit name of
God, which is love and Light. If you can keep that thought
going and bring it up much more often, you'll find out that
things that you wanted before but couldn't get will be in
place at your feet.

They'll come to you and you'll wonder, "God, what's
happening?" I wouldn't ask that question because when you
find out that God is taking you under His wing, then He will
say, "You must love one another." We come from so many
different places and occupations, yet there's the prevailing
current here of the Spirit of loving. I feel it go out to
you because I feel it when it comes back. There are no
conditions on the loving: If you get it, that's condition
enough; if you care to return it, that's condition enough.

If you feel anger, hatred, or betrayal, you may project it
onto the other person. If you do this, you are really crying
out, "Please help me. I need love."

You do need love. You need it because it is part of your
nature to be fulfilled through love. You can never be
fulfilled only through physical love because physical love
often brings sorrow. Emotional love often brings upset.
Mental love often brings prejudice.

But spiritual love brings the consciousness of God and the
realization that all things are functioning in accordance
with the one law, which is God.

If something is bothering you about his or her behavior, you
can change your focus rather than get upset.

Doing this requires commitment and inner discipline.

In each moment, we are always making a choice to be more
loving or more unloving.

- John Morton

[caressa]

We manifest not by trying to attract the things of the world to us but by giving.

When we share our essence, good things come to us
automatically. We don't have to manipulate, play games, con people, or lie to them.

We can just be our naturally loving self.

- John-Roger with Paul Kaye
(From: What's It Like Being You?, p. 154)

[caressa]

You don't give for the reward of giving.

You give because it is love's nature to give.

You do the right thing just because it is the right thing to do.

You're never given anything you can't handle. That's a spiritual dictum. As a new dilemma presents itself, you have the strength to handle it. There's never a loss. As soon as you have strength you can't use, it becomes a dilemma of what to do with your strength, your talent, your ability. Then the dilemma of frustration is upon you.

You can handle all situations and overcome your dilemmas by moving to your center and pulling forward a universal strength. As soon as you move out to your periphery, you lose awareness of that center and that strength. You become confused and unsure and ask, "What should I do?" You think maybe you should do this, or maybe you should do that...and there begins a dilemma.

It is not necessary. Hold to your center. Maintain your
center. Use everything that comes to you as grace. You'll build your strength that way.

There is a wisdom in each individual Soul that knows the correct path to be taken in its journey home to God.

Occasionally a person can go all the way through a lifetime and gradually become more hardened and harsh as a way of dealing with the world. Actually, that would be a very rare case because, usually, somewhere along the way, there's a
visitation, a moment when no matter how dark or how cloudy or how stormy it is, the sunlight gets through and touches us, reminding us that there is more to this world than the darkness, harshness, or storm that we find.

If your boss yells at you, maybe you shouldn't take it personally. Maybe he and his wife had a big fight the night before and she threw him out of the house. Maybe you remind him of someone that he has had a difficult time with in the past, and some part of his consciousness is expecting the same situation. Maybe you and he have a karmic relationship where the job of each of you is to learn communication and love in relation to the other. There are so many possibilities.

There is very little use in trying to figure out exactly
which possibility applies. You might assume that there is a reason for his behavior, that it is important to both
overcome the block (whatever it is), and not create a bigger block by putting out resentment, resistance, and other negative emotions.

With honest communication you can recognize where he is coming from, gain an understanding of his motivations, and come into a position of empathy and love.
