Loving Each Day

[caressa]

I know that it can be a challenge at times to hold the
positive focus and to continue to put out love, no matter
what. This doesn't mean you have to be a fool and let people
walk all over you and take advantage of you -- not at all.
It does mean that you do not return anger with anger, hurt
with another hurt, or a name with another name.

You break the cycle of negativity and replace it with the
positive action, which can be just as active, just as
dynamic, as the negativity.

Keep letting go of any judgment toward the conditions that

Let love be your guide, your breath, your life. Then you
live in the heart of God and are renewed every moment
through His love.

Loving might look like many things to many people. It might look like patience, where you let things unfold the way they are going to anyway. It might look like tolerance and acceptance, where you let people be what they need to be; even if you do not think it is terrific, you know that underneath whatever is going on for them, they are doing the very best they know how. Loving may also look like being good to yourself and knowing that you are doing your very best at the time. It may be serving someone with no thought of recognition or gain. It may be living your life in honesty and integrity and keeping your agreements with yourself and others.

And, of course, loving can also come in many other forms and expressions. But start with the loving, and then let your
expression and behavior come from that.

If you are working through a lot of things karmically and
there are lessons to be learned, you may not experience joy,
because sometimes we do not learn much in joy, being
oblivious to the lessons that are presented because we are
so joyful.

Most of us have learned more through suffering than we have
learned through joy -- or even through mediocrity or
mundaneness.

Almost always, you will find that the suffering is your
attachment or the fear of breaking the attachment.

As you consciously lift into the level of Soul, you move

You are enfolded by our love and compassion. Remember this
world is not the true home of your Soul.

As you start pulling in the boundary lines, you start
feeling very strong. Your discipline becomes so good that
you can stop overeating, put down the cigarettes, control
your temper, or take charge of a lot of other areas. You may
be more honest in your life and relationships. You may say,
"I'm not going to be dishonest any longer."

The longer, the more intently you can hold your focus on a
point, the sooner you can precipitate that point into
greater manifestation for yourself.

If you want love, be love.

Our "natural" state is loving. We don't have to wait for any
divine miracle to occur. The fact that you are here, now,
alive, breathing in and out, wanting to know how to become
fulfilled, is a miracle in itself.

The miracle is here, present, right now, if you are willing
and courageous enough to avail yourself of it.

If you say you hate one person, you also have to hate
others. If you shut off love to one person, you have also
shut it off to somebody else. That someone else is usually
yourself because when we shut off to anyone "out there," we
usually shut off inside of us.

As Jesus said, "When you have done it to the least of these,
you have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40). So why shut off
anyone, hurt anyone, or hate anyone and then think you can
love your wife or husband? No, you carry home with you that
same hate towards the other person. When you tell your
spouse about it, the spouse feels your hate and has to deal
with it, plus your spouse may have to deal with feelings of
sadness over what someone else is doing to you.

You cannot allow anything to stand in the way of your
loving.

Much of what works in this world is done through patience
and enduring until the end. You would likely feel better
about yourself simply by being involved with uplifting
things. Do things that work for you and others.

Start out by finding something simple to do that you can
contribute. Even selling things from a tin cup can be a
contribution by helping to provide what others can use.

If you want greater spirituality, you can't force it. You
have to put yourself where it is. If your favorite TV show
is "Friends," and it comes on every Monday night at 8:00PM,
this is what you need to do if you want to guarantee that
you watch it: Shortly before 8:00PM, you sit down in front
of the TV, turn it on, turn to the right channel, and wait
for "Friends." That way, you guarantee that you will see it
when it comes on.

So, if you want more spirituality, you place yourself in an
area or in a way where you can receive of it if it appears
or if it happens. If Spirit happens, you'll be there to
receive all of it.

The Traveler can give you an experiential level of loving.
That experience of loving can be the rock on which you live
your life, and, as always, doing spiritual exercises is a
way of becoming more aware of the presence of Spirit, whose
essence is loving.

When the Holy Spirit comes in, and we rise to these
occasions of sharing and knowing and gathering, then you can
sit in the room with your loved one and they might not say a
word. One may be busy reading a paper and the other one's
knitting, and yet there's this contentment within you. Or it
could be while one's in the restroom and the other is busy
cooking, there's that love in there no matter what they're
doing. And they get a little hassled, but then this love
comes creeping through and it balances the action.

That's the Spirit. That's the Light of our consciousness
opening and unfolding towards each other.

When you come to those peak experiences wherein you find
love residing, identify them, internalize them, and make
them glow so you can find them again when you start to go
off your path.

Go into those loving places often, and build that strong
place within where you can say, "God and I are one."

The concept of charity does not conflict with your
responsibility to take care of yourself. If you don't take
care of yourself, you soon do not have any reserves from
which to give.

By concluding that things not present should be present, you
set yourself up for frustration and discouragement.

It's fine to imagine what you can become if you can see how
to apply yourself now. Imagining works to create.
