Love is The Answer...

The more I live the more I learn that love is the utimate healer of all that ails us. Got pain in your life? heal it with love. People being mean and nasty to you..heal them with love. Love changes things it allows us to take the focus off of ourselves and begin to operate from a state of compassion and understanding. Our world is so filled with people who are hurting and filled with deep pain, they don't need us to give them back what they give you..because then pain merely perpetuates. What they need is for you to cover them with the the unchanging Love of God. Buddha calls it namaste..I come to you in Peace. When we can operate from a state of Peace, we can flow a new energy into our environment. We can single-handedly change the core of the energy around us....and when love meets pain.. it soothes, it cradles and restores those around us.

Operating from a state of love at times can be very challenging; because, there are some who repel love, they are in such deep pain that they are unable or unwilling to receive it. But our task is to simply STAND on Love. It may take days, months or years before it is received. But the key is to stand on the universal concept that " love is the answer". My mother used to say to us, " I love you, but I don't like your ways"... At times this is the state that we must operate from-- loving those around us--in spite of their behavior..Bad behavior is a direct by-product of hurt and pain. So we deliver a direct and precise shot of love and compassion to those that display hurtful behavior towards us.We have the power to choose how we react to situations, we can either be a part of perpetuating the pain or offering a solution..Love!

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!

Kind Regards,

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
