Resting in Love

Resting In Love
by Yael and Doug Powell
_________________________________

Message from God - Beloved ones, My precious heart, I call you now to rest in Me, to open your lives to the truth of this Love and to the ecstatic joy of giving. How I wish that I could truly show you how deeply the ego has reversed the truth of Love and in how many ways it turns everything into getting something for itself..

Even this joy that you are meant to have in Me and this great and glorious peace, it manages to keep turning into something that you must strive to achieve, when in truth, dear ones, it is your inheritance. It is as much a part of you as the very breath you breathe, that one glorious breath of the living cosmos. The fact of taking Love in from Me each Now Moment, into your Twin Flame heart of mine, and giving it forth continuously is as natural as breathing..

But I cannot explain the joy of giving to the ego mind at all for it will take it in and turn it around in some uniquely creative way. But I can show you in the depths of your heart what it means to live to give, and to allow the little self to fall away completely in this glorious flow of Love that is ever and always moving outward to bless and to transcend anything that causes separation or interferes with Love at all..

Thus, I must call you again and again to return to this Love and its true flow which is giving all that you are in service to Love as the surrendered heart of God. If it is a world of only Love that calls you in your heart, then, dearest ones, the key to this world is to give everything you are in service to this Love as it appears in all things. Releasing the ego's dream of a separate world in which it can gain things for itself, allow Me to live life in the world as you and to truly be your Twin Flame heart, the great cauldron of ecstatic joy that comes out of giving all that you are..

So the peace that passes all understanding is the peace that is beyond the ego mind, for the ego mind cannot comprehend it, that true joy comes from giving all that you are in service to Love. But you, beloved ones, you know this. And you know the pure truth of who you are because you find it in your heart when you open to Me and allow Me to be that living service to Love as it appears in the world as you..

What does it mean to give your all to Love and to see only Love before you, because you already know that if you see other than Love you are recreating the world of duality right then and there? So if you see only Love it means living from your heart. This, dearest ones, can be your guide. When you look at the world before you, whatever it is that is appearing, do you see only Love standing there? If you do, you are living from your heart. If you do not, you are living from your ego. I promise you that Love mends all rifts, transcends all limitation and transforms the world of duality and separation into a glorious unified worship of the living Love we share..

How will you know when you truly are living this? When this Love has reclaimed your heart and when your heart's great perception, its awareness as this living instrument is the instrument of the totality of your perception? You will know through the joy in your heart and by our clear relationship and My guidance. As you surrender the things that the ego mind desires and you surrender those things it is attached to, you become free and open as a living conduit of Light and your heart becomes the instrument of your experience. You will see only Love everywhere you look..

True Love is a glorious feeling of the heart. It isn't a decision of the ego mind. It rises from within you, from the deepest part of your being and immediately forms the Vertical axis, alive and open to Me and to this Love I Am as it speaks through the truth of your being and as it names the world through your heart. This, My beloved ones, is what I want to speak to you about today..

That which is the heart sees is so different from the ego. What the heart sees is only the unity of Love and the great perfection and joy of giving. It simply does not see what is in it for yourself. Nor does it need to have an evaluation of everything and everyone it encounters. If you are this Love and it is the truth of your very being, then what appears before you as your world will be only Love also..

As you make this shift and see only Love, feel only Love and live for giving, then your experience of life will come into alignment with Love's very highest vibration and everything around you will come into communion with you through your open heart, and all life is then a celebration of this one limitless Love..

Breathe this Love in, beloved ones, and feel it as the truth of your being. Every step is meant to be a miracle, opening wide the pathways of Love. When you see only with your heart, see only Love, then only Love is also what you are receiving, since as you know, you always receive that which you give. So while it is an important step to understand the ego's dream and to recognize its machinations, the next step is to choose to see only Love, to know that Love is your great call to giving, that Love, true Love, the one Love, is that which you learn, which you receive..

So let Me ask you to gently re-inform your ego mind and explain to it that anything it wants will come to it measure upon measure if it will give such things first, and trust the law of Love. At first it will rebel and continue to pull you in the old pathways. But the ego dream has its place in your life right now as the anchor for your giving and therefore, will come under the direction of your heart as you allow your heart to be your vehicle and Me to be the center of your world. Not the little mind and ego..

I Am the One circular life and therefore all that is given is always returned, for that which goes out travels around the encompassment, the circle, and returns always to its source multiplied. This law of Love, beloved ones, is understandable to the ego and will bring it into subjugation to the heart..

So as you love even this, even the ego that has tricked you and created the veil of separation, then you elevate it all to the vibration of the heart and to the great flow of the living river which is the giving of My Love to everything, to everyone, to you, beloved ones, for example. When it is received and passed on, it then completes the circle..

When you rest in this Love so completely that you do feel it, connect with it with every in-breath, then Love becomes your experience and the world of separation created by the ego falls away... You recognize that there is only one true resonance and it is the experience of unity of this one God consciousness, energy and heart!

Prayer for Self Love

By Don Miguel Ruiz

Today, Creator of the Universe we ask that you help us to accept ourselves just the way we are, without judgement. Help us to accept our mind the way it is, with all our emotions, our hopes and dreams, our personality, our unique way of being. Help us to accept our body just the way it is, with all its beauty and perfection. Let the love we have for ourselves be so strong that we never reject ourselves or sabotage our happiness, freedom and love.

From now on, let every action, every reaction every thought every emotion be based on love. Help us, creator to increase our self love, until the entire dream of our life is transformed, from fear and dram to love and joy. Let the power of our self-love be strong enough to break all the lies we were programed to believe-all the lies that tell us we are not good enough, or strong enough or intelligent enough, that we cannot make it. Let the power of our self-love be so strong that we no longer need to live our life according to other peoples opinions. Let us trust ourselves completely to make the choices we must make. With our self-love, we no longer afraid to face any responsibility in our life or face any problems and resolve them as they arise. Whatever we want to accomplish, let it be done with the power of our Self Love.

Starting today, help us to love ourselves so much that we never set up any circumstances that go against us. We can live our life being ourselves and not pretending to be someone else just to be accepted by other people. We no longer need other people to accept us or tell us how good we are because we know what we are. With the power of our self-love, let us enjoy what we see every time we look in the mirror. Let there be a big smile on our face that enhances our inner and outer beauty. Help us to feel such intense self-love that we always enjoy our own presence.

Let us love ourselves without judgement, because when we judge, we carry blame and guilt, we have the need for punishment, and we lose the perspective of your love. Clean our minds of emotional poison and self judgments so we can live in complete peace and love.

Let our self love be the power that changes the dream of our life. With the new power in our hearts, the power of self love, let us transform every relationship we have, beginning with the relationship we have with ourselves. Help us to be free of any conflict with others. Let us be happy to share our time with our loved ones and to forgive them for any injustice we feel in our mind. Help us to love ourselves so much that we forgive anyone who has ever hurt us in our life.

Give us the courage to love our family and friends unconditionally and to change our relationships in the most positive and loving way. Help us to create new channels of communication in our relationships so there is no war of control, there is no winner or loser. Together let us work as a team for love, for joy, for harmony.

Let our relationship with our family and friends be based on respect and joy so we no longer have the need to tell them how to think or how to be. Let our romantic relationships be the most wonderful relationship; let us feel joy every time we share ourselves with our partner. Help us to accept others just the way they are, without judgement, because when we reject them, we reject ourselves. When we reject ourselves we reject you.

Today is a new beginning. Help us to start our life over beginning today with the power of self love. Help us to enjoy our life, to enjoy our relationships to explore life, to take risks, to be alive, and to no longer live in fear of love. Let us open our heart to the love that is our birthright. Help us to become masters of Gratitude, Generosity and Love that we can enjoy all of your creations forever and ever.

Namaste

Moving from Lust to Love

COMING SOON

The Spell

Tried so hard to turn that spell into practice of nonattachment
Instead it turned into a practice of detachment
Tears of grief as I fall asleep to dream of you
As the alarm goes off
Im waking up with you in my arms
Tears of reality arise as the dream flies
A desire to go back asleep to connect with you
Since you are not ready to awaken as I am, with you

We have much more to offer eachother
You know its true
I am ready to take this ride
With a loved one by my side
Will it be you
Something I was not able to say, until I met you
It took this whole lifetime to find you
And a few days to possibly have lost you

Whatever happened to those words you have said
Are they still echoing in your head
Words so heart felt, cannot be forgotten or misread
Responded with related words with heart wide open

Trusted you with my soul
So I showed you my whole
A glimpse of our true self in our mirror
Only for fear to frost our mirror
With mine defrosted so I can see
Acceptance of the now is the key

Fear is what blinded our eyes
Fear is what came to our demise
Fear of unknowns of the future
Fear of letting go of the past
Fear of being present

Acceptance of that presence
A present of your presence I have received
Forever grateful I will be
I have not loved as I have with thee

Namaste

I am Love

I AM
by Sandy Stevenson

I am the wind and the rain. I am the sun and all that shines. I am that which holds the heavens and all that does not shine. I am the all of all-ness and the no-thing of nothingness. I am you - the very source of your being. That which breathes you as you breathe me. I am that which creates through my breath and the sounding forth of my words.

I am that which uses care in making myself known to you, for unto man comes a mighty resistance to claiming me as I Am That I Am. For in so doing, one claims the self as I Am That I Am. I reside in your heart and in your mind. I reside in the all of you, your fingers and toes, your organs, your emotions, your thoughts and indeed in your actions. For good or for naught matters not for I do not judge myself.

I am love, so great and so vast, that I reside in a state of namelessness and formlessness for no-thing can I create can contain me, for I Am That I Am. To limit myself by these very words diminishes my being by encapsulating my breath, my words into the world of form.

Each word I speak, in this moment, is creating for I am that which manifests myself without definition or containment. As the rock creates a ripple in the pond, I create ripples with my breath. Upon each exhale, I send myself forth to materialize in the world of man through action, through inspiration, through the very beingness of the hearts of my heart.

If you, who is me, visualize me, I am not containable in a single form, or any form for I am un-ending - the alpha and omega. I have no face or body. I have no religious right or left. I have no direction. I possess no correctness and know not the concept of wrong, of judging, of being evil or of being good. If you welcome me into your thinking, feeling, acting body, you may find that as I am unleashed in the power of one, who is you, creation is everflowing, unstoppable.

I surround you now in fields and flowers, stars and comets, rain and thunder. I surround you now in the suit of skin that cloaks your bodyworks, your organs and cells and arteries. I am all that and more. Yet, oftentimes, you see me not in the workings, the appearance of all things for you understand not the mind of god, which is no mind at all, for I Am Love.

A love so vast it responds immediately to the smallest cry, the tiniest of whimpers of desire. If one wishes to experience the thrill of terror, one will surely find terror on the doorstep. If one holds the smallest particle of doubt, doubt will surely appear. For I hold no limit in my expression. I Am That I Am.

You have seen me in your lover's eyes and the tiny fist of a newborn child. You have seen me in the warships and in the bloom of a flowering plant. You have witnessed my phenomenal appearance with every breath you take, in the all of which you are surrounded. You live, move and have your being in me as I, in you. We are not separate. I am you. I am divine perfection. I am known to you. I live in you. I express in you. I am creator and creation in one. I am unity.

Love lies in Service. Only that which is done, not for fame or name and not for appreciation or thanks, is Love's Service.

Love is my Religion

LOVE IS MY RELIGION
By: Nicole Petroff

Yes I declared myself a worshiper of LOVE. Love is my religion.

When thinking about the concept of having love as a religion, I realized it shouldn’t be like any other organized religion. This religion has no rules, no specific places to worship, no specific god or people involved. It encompasses everyone, every being, every god, every faith, every practice, every action, every thought and energy.

The goal is simply to become self realized of what Love truly is and to become LOVE.

How does one do such a thing? Below is the wisdom I have developed through experiences, reading and self reflection.

There are many practices to choose from that you can use on this learning process and a combination of them is very helpful. I chose the practice of yoga or to yoke meaning union connection and relationship to our true self, Love.

Why do we need such practices to help us to know what love truly is and who we
truly are?

The senses, mind and intellect, and the vacillating nature of the mind creates a constant distraction and identification of exterior self prevents us from seeing. Also the lower emotions (such as anger, hatred, greed, lust, jealousy, envy, fear etc ) prevent us from shining our true nature and seeing what Love truly is. This is sometimes called veil, ego or mya or illusion. Practices such as yoga tai chi, qi gong, zen and many other practices and faiths etc help to purify the mind, emotions so the veil can be lifted.

When the veil is over our eyes, we may see LOVE as a cause of pain, and may discriminate who we love which creates dualism and more suffering. What we call "falling in love" sometimes can be an intensification of the veil and has intense wanting, needing and attachment. The word attachment means a tie or a bond but it can have deep emotional roots and cause scars on our soul or core issues to come to surface for a chance to heal. The feeling of “falling in love” can also be a great lesson looking back at us in the mirror the other is holding. It can be a lesson of seeing true self divine love in the mirror or of ego/veil the other is holding. What is to be seen in the mirror seems to be dependent on, if you are at peace within yourself. The more the ego/veil has been lifted the more at peace and your true nature you become. When we have attachments we create resistance of abundance instead allowing divine energy, abundance, manifestations, happiness, joy, bliss and true love to come into our lives.

This illusion of what Love is, seems to be the result of having that veil covering our eyes and also projecting your thoughts and energy into the future by having expectations or attachments to certain outcomes, which seems to be causes all sorts of suffering. We sometimes do this in relationships by labeling the relationship and putting it into a box of what society or culture says how that relationship with that label should be. When the relationship is in a box, it is confined to those certain behaviors expectations of that label, which bring attachments, and a lot of emotional suffering because you unconsciously placed conditions on how to Love eachother. If we detach from the label or not have any labels we are letting the relationship be free to be whatever it needs to be, with ease, and un-conditional Love.

Attachments and expectations seem to cause suffering and are hard to avoid and is all part of the learning process of awakening to who you truly are. Realizing attachment when it occurs and coming back into the present moment we can let go of it, and see its changes in energy, vibration or dimension as just what it is, a changed in energy and vibration. Learning to detach from those vibrational energy shifts by letting go of control, having faith that everything is happening for a reason/lesson we can avoid and overcome suffering.

When the veil is lifted it is easier to not allow those expectations, detach and love un-conditionally and are accepting the person or thing for what they really are, no matter what the do. They are Love, Vibration, Energy, and a reflection of yourself.

When the veil is lifted we can see and feel love as this beautiful feeling of warmth in everyone, everything, everywhere, it cannot be gained or lost, it is found within, and we begin to vibrate this love to the world, you become LOVE. The feeling of becoming Love that is so great, it is totally beyond words, beyond all capacity of the ego mind to describe it or to evaluate, but rather, it is like great waves of ecstasy and feeling and the absolute certainty that Love, True Love, Devine Love is the truth of it all.


Once the veil is lifted the work is not over. It takes constant practice, learning about self, and consistency with connecting to your higher self and the present moment. The more you do, the more love you will feel from everyone and everything. Then, you become more aware of what things disconnect you, like things that you consume or the people you associate with. Right diet and right association that will sustain your peace of mind is and your connection to Divine Love. If you don't have consistent practice or continue to look externally for answers chances are the veil will go back on covering your eyes and suffering will continue.

Therefore if you practice Love as a religion, by lifting the veil, loving all beings un-conditionally, you start to love yourself and become more self realized and you start BEING LOVE

LOVE is a state of being. Love is not outside, it is deep within. We can never lose it and it cannot leave. It is not dependent on some other person or external form.


WE ARE LOVE! YOU ARE LOVE!
AND I LOVE YOU!
