Here are three ways to search through the history of over 5,000 Loving Each Day quotes by John-Roger and John Morton.
The true self doesn't have anger or jealousy or greed or lust or avarice. It doesn't have any of these things; it doesn't need them. But the false self has them and needs them and fights for dear life to hang onto them. If you could just once see within the true self, if you could get that image just once in your consciousness for a fraction of a second, you could go on for the rest of your life using that as an inner guiding light.
How on earth do you gain forgiveness when you've forgiven yourself and the stuff keeps coming back up? I know that we all have very similar feelings that stop us from moving forward into what we really want. We have to address with courage, conviction, and all the willpower that we have, whatever it is that stands in the way. It takes great courage to see the face of God, because you first have to look at your own.
When you have a decision or a choice coming up, you can turn your attention toward it. In your imagination, make a decision one way or the other. Mentally mock up the results of that decision. Lean into that situation. See it. Feel it. If you get negative feedback, correct the course. In your imagination, make another choice. Repeat the process. See where that decision logically takes you. You may not be totally accurate in your imaginative mock-ups, but you will probably be close. With a little practice you can become quite accurate. Doing this can help you sort out your possibilities.
If we are going to do anything on the planet worthwhile for ourselves or anyone else, we have to watch out primarily for these insidious mindsets that sabotage all our good works: The victim and the enemy within. You are the one who makes yourself the victim. And who is the enemy? It's you. You are the enemy and the victim at one and the same time!
Each day, you must ask anew for the Traveler to be present with you. Don't ever take it for granted; it doesn't take you for granted. Doing spiritual exercises is one of the most effective ways of asking for the Traveler to be a part of your life.
This idea of service causes a lot of people to get caught up in misunderstandings as they attempt to relate it to the spiritual moving of the consciousness. If you are going to be of service, it would be wise to serve with the attitude that allows you to reach the goal. The negative attitude says, "Why are people always coming to me and loading me down with their troubles? Why do I attract them to me?" That attitude perceives life as a burden, and that is certainly one point of view. But other people say, "Thank God I can be of service. I am here to serve these people on whatever level and in whatever capacity I can."
Pray as powerfully as you can to deliver your requests to God's infinite ocean of love and mercy. And yet also pray for however you can serve God's Will being done including moving fully into acceptance and cooperation with whatever is upon and within you to work through and complete. God's Will Be Done.
If someone you know is having difficulties with their health, when you meditate, see them healthy, whole, and balanced. Hold that positive image. Send them the Light, for the highest good, and keep your emotions neutral. As you maintain loving, positive energy flowing out to them, it can be of great support and, as they allow it through their openness, it will assist them in their recovery.
Your awakening is the spiritual inner awareness, perceiving what is reality and continually moving into positive, direct action. The Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness does not retreat from life; it moves through life, teaching you how to handle this level more effectively and keep yourself balanced. Then it shows you a way into the higher levels of Soul awareness.
There will probably be times in your life when there will be more karmic situations to handle than other times; this is just how it works. Every life has cycles and changes that come with the cycles. When there are times of heavy changes, it seems that there are many situations to handle, and it can take much endurance to go through a karmic flow gracefully and with completeness. At other times, there appears to be more of a plateau, where things move along easily, without apparent turmoil. Both times may be right and proper and normal. It is important to learn to accept and work with whatever is going on, without placing out too much in the way of judgments or self-recriminations.
