Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

You have had the experience of being in love and having a warm, special feeling for another human being. Use that quality of loving to enhance your spiritual practices. Meditate upon the Spirit of God as though you were going to see your sweetheart, your love, in the next two or three minutes. You know what that feeling is. Use it as a springboard to connect you with your love for God. Place that feeling of love and devotion inside you; then meditate upon God. You can find God the same way you found your physical-level lover.

The ultimate communication occurs within the relationship you have with yourself. To keep that relationship harmonious, you don't have to be perfect because that is not required on this planet-Earth level. What is required for a balanced inner relationship is to be in a continual state of self-education. The next step is to activate what you have learned in order to tune in to the source of who you really are.

Even as perfected as we might be, or think that we might be, we all bring in disturbance and negativity. Rather than go further into negativity, we can step into loving completely. Loving brings an opportunity to contribute to the equilibrium, the balance, and the peace, rather than something where we bring further disturbance. It is important that we learn to step into a state of equilibrium, which is not really trying to change what is here as much as coming into balance with it.

The Soul is that essence of us that is a pure extension of God. The mind, emotions, and body are elements that the Soul has taken to itself in order to experience those levels of existence. In the course of our journey on Earth, it is possible to learn not to be held in bondage -- or restricted by -- the body, mind, or emotions. And when those lower levels are transcended, that which is left is pure Soul. Eventually, as the journey back to God continues, Soul will also be transcended and there will be only God.

There are two layers of forgiveness: first, the person we judged (ourselves or another); and, second, ourselves for having judged in the first place. The technique? Simple. So simple, that some people doubt its effectiveness and don't try it. We urge you to try it. Say to yourself, "I forgive (name of the person, situation, or thing you judged, including yourself) for (the "transgression"). I forgive myself for judging (same person, situation, or thing, including yourself) for (what you judged)." That's it. Simple but amazingly effective. You can say it out loud or say it to yourself. But, please, do say it. That's all there is to forgiveness. Simple but powerful. How powerful? Do five minutes of forgiveness. See what happens.

You must be extremely careful about how you place things towards yourself because, being a creator and having the divine essence within you, you will be held responsible, and that which you create will be returned to you.

The cure for restraint is to love what you're doing. When the loving is present and alive inside you, you handle things beautifully. So when you're going to do something and you're not sure of the outcome, love yourself while you're doing it. You don't have to love the outcome because you may not know the outcome, but you can love yourself all the way to the outcome. Then, when you get to the end, you will have love. You will also have success.

The path to mastership can appear very narrow. The boundary lines may seem to be set very close together -- not so close that a universe cannot walk through them, but so close you have to keep yourself within the universe. As you ask, "God, where is truth?" -- that question being the first step on the path -- the world starts to unfold because you have opened yourself to the Light and asked it to come into your life. You have knocked, and the door will open to you.

The blessings already are. Open up, breathe them in. The one you're looking for, or waiting for, is here. The one that you are seeking is within you. Even the blessings outside you are first found within you. You can declare the blessing within you now. Baruch Bashan.

You'll know you are doing an "awareness-choosing" technique successfully when you take full responsibility for what is going on in your life, inside and outside. If you find yourself responding, "I hate him," or "She makes me crazy," then you are involved in "internal exteriorization," making someone or something outside yourself the cause of your internal reaction. You have set up a premise that if that particular person leaves or that particular situation changes, your difficulties will also disappear. Some people get involved in personal relationships and separate many, many times; others get a job, quit a job, and change jobs many, many times. Many people live that kind of existence, blaming him or her, this or that, and get furious or despondent over life, having alibis and excuses for why their existence is not one of health, wealth, and happiness.
