Loving Each Day

[caressa]

It is a good idea to build up the Light energy in
your house, apartment, or wherever you live. You
would do this by invoking the Light often -- when
you leave and come back would be a good start.
Simply ask that the Light be there for the
highest good of all concerned.

You might invite the Mystical Traveler and Christ
to be there, too.

You can also ask MSIA ministers to come to your
house and do a house blessing to place a lot of
Light there.

We are continually updating ourselves.

Come here and now.

Get along with whatever is in your presence.

The profoundness of the Mystical Traveler being
with you is primarily that you're never alone.

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.

- John-Roger
(From: Loving Each Day, Volume 1, p. 327)

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?

- John-Roger
(From: Wealth & Higher Consciousness, p. 146-147)

[caressa]

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.

- John-Roger
(From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 885, 887)

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.

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.

- John-Roger
(From: Wealth & Higher Consciousness, p. 147)

[caressa]

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 experience the Mystical Traveler brings to you has to do
with Spirit, with God, with pure love that transcends all
lower levels and that lifts you into Soul -- and then
beyond.

This experience is Soul Transcendence, to live here and
discover the higher reality, to extend into that greater
consciousness of Light, of Love, of Sound -- to be that.

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.

- John-Roger
(From: The Way Out Book, p. 186-187)

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.

- John-Roger
(From: The Way Out Book, p. 186-187)

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.

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.

Within every illusion, there is some truth.

- John-Roger
(From: Loving Each Day, Volume 1. p. 330)

[caressa]

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.

- John-Roger
(From: Wealth & Higher Consciousness, p. 148-149)

You cannot control your outer environment; you can control
yourself.

- John-Roger
(From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 1010)

======================

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.

- John-Roger
(From: "Suffering" on the New Day Herald website at
www.ndh.org/template.php3?ID=426)

=======================================

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.

That one that is the Mystical Traveler shares himself with
those who are his Beloveds, those who are the initiates.

The Traveler does not offer just an association; the
Traveler offers a relationship that abides in the heart,
nowhere else.

It is a relationship of living love.
