Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Light is a concept that permeates all religions, most philosophies, and several sciences (quantum physics is based upon it). Stated simply, light is the energy that permeates all things. In the spiritual context, we refer to it as "the Light.") This Light responds to human thought and, more importantly, the intention of the heart. One of the greatest gifts we can give is to "send the Light." We can send Light, either to ourselves or to others, by saying or thinking, "I ask that the Light be sent to (person's name) for their highest good and the highest good of all concerned." That's all there is to it. That's sending the Light. We add "for the highest good of all concerned" to keep our personal wants and desires (what we think is best) out of the situation. (As inconceivable as it may seem to our ego, we may not always know what's best for all people in all situations.) We send the Light "for the highest good of all concerned" so that in case our thoughts on how something should be happen to be slightly inaccurate, the highest good will nonetheless take place. Sending Light for the highest good of all concerned allows us to relax. We can trust that whatever happens after sending the Light for the highest good of all concerned is for the highest good of all concerned. We need not feverishly manipulate the outcome to be whatever we think best.

When you realize that what you are doing is not working, move to what is working. How? Awareness. You do not do well when you judge or become upset when you see what is not working. Go to your Soul. And use your awareness of what is not working to find what is working.

Much of your ability to be open to new things, to alter your patterns of behavior, and to grow depends on your attitude toward the situations in which you find yourself. If you can keep a positive attitude, you can learn from any situation. When you continually grow and lift in consciousness and awareness, life can be a beautiful experience. If you hold to a negative attitude, your life will probably be one catastrophe after another, or at least that is the way you will perceive it. When you are in a state of inner discontentment, it gets projected onto the world and you then stage your revolution "out there." Yet it's not changing anything. It's comforting to know that when you change your attitude, you may not have to change anything else in the world around you, because it's all being reflected from your inner environment anyway.

Loving is a matter of giving yourself 100 percent at any moment. If you are married, give 100 percent to the marriage and to your spouse. If you hold back or place conditions on the marriage, and keep part of your loving in reserve, you will never know what that marriage could have been. You will never know where the expression of loving could have led you. If you love 99 percent and do not go the full 100 percent, you will end up in lack. There will be something lacking and you will know it. When you investigate and explore loving 100 percent, there is no unknown area and thus no fear.

Those who know the Light and want to know and experience more are those who receive responsibilities for everyone with whom they come in contact. This is a load that may scare many people away, but the load is just this: when you go out into the world, always ask for the Light to surround and protect you and to move ahead of you for the highest good. And as you do this, remember that the spiritual heart is the center from which you work in your out flowing of love. When people start coming too close to you, place the Light between you and them, and let the Light take the karma. The Light can handle it. All you have to do is maintain your awareness of the Light and place each situation and person you encounter into the Light.

It assists your Soul's growth when you silently send the Light to others.

When you reach the point where you can flow with whatever is happening at any moment, without setting up any expectations, without judging the action, without inflicting your point of view; when you can experience and learn from whatever comes your way; when you can let go and become an instrument of the Light, knowing that every person, every situation, every relationship, and every action is for your highest good and that nothing will ever harm or hurt you -- when you can do and know these things, you will be well on your way to becoming one of the living free, and that will be a great part of your true fulfillment.

The word courage comes from the French coeur, meaning heart. We need great courage (heart) to give. Service is not for the faint of heart. Giving is the easiest, most difficult thing you'll ever do. In order to give, you must be willing to experience rejection and being misunderstood -- not to mention the fear of rejection and the fear of being misunderstood, and the hurt of rejection and the hurt of being misunderstood, and the anger that covers the fear and the anger we turn against ourselves and the anger and sense of worthlessness that sometimes come when our gift is not found worthy. In addition to pain, we must be willing to feel joy. Tolstoy says that, "Joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness." Generations yet unborn will appreciate what we have done, just as we appreciate what others who are long gone have done. There's no way to return the favor to posterity, but we can pass it on to the future.

Once we come upon that consciousness of who we are, we know the Spirit and the Soul of our being, which radiates and is aware of the God essence. We know our natural course, to live and enjoy life and to constantly grow, so that every experience that comes to us is a nurturing experience at the level of the Soul.

The next time you start to have some emotional reaction, you don't have to give energy to being upset; instead, you can express your loving consideration for the other person. Know that only one thing counts: the loving that is expressed.
