Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

We can think we are perfectly justified in stopping our loving for a variety of reasons -- boredom, irritation, anger, hurt, etc. -- but loving is always the baseline of life, the thing that is more important than anything else. This does not mean you need to be a doormat or take ill-treatment in any form, and sometimes the most loving thing is to tell another person that what they are doing is not something you will participate in. Another approach is to participate in it and still be loving.

If you want to know Soul Transcendence, forgive them. This doesn't mean you become stupid and don't see the injustice or the negativity of the situation. It means that you walk towards a Light consciousness, a transcendent consciousness. You walk towards God. And as you do that, you perhaps see more clearly what is actually happening.

When you are taking care of others, you are objectively involved in their lives and you lovingly support and lift them each moment. You are right there in the moment they need you, and you see clearly what to help them with. You see clearly when to leave them alone, when they must complete and fulfill what they've created. You hold for them as they grow, and when they can accept your love and your Light, you are right there for them.

Our mission is really to awaken to the Soul. As we do that, we become a serving consciousness, so we do good in the world, right here, right now. In that, even though there are wars going on, somebody still needs to sweep the floor. Maybe that seems like a petty, small thing to do, and shouldn't we be over there on the front lines, stopping the war? You have to decide that for yourself. But you might want to clean up your own area so that you stop the war in your own life. Then maybe that will give you the authority to go stop the war somewhere else.

Take the time to really foster your love for yourself. Do spiritual exercises so you can lift above the mundane activities of your life and see how you are working things out and learning the lessons that are important to you. Then you can love yourself even though you have made mistakes along the way.

Q: You said that "suffering is the result of attachment. Attachment is the result of desire." Does that mean I shouldn't desire anything? A: What I'm talking about is desiring something or someone to the degree that you feel you couldn't live without it -- a consuming depth of desire. Desire is part of the human condition and part of living on this planet. Keeping our wants and desires in perspective so that they are not running us (in other words, we stay in balance with them) is the way to effectively deal with desires.

I continually suggest that people always check things out, no matter what they hear or see or no matter who says something to them. That is just a smart way to live life. For example, most people are too knowledgeable to believe that everything they read in the newspaper or hear on television or the radio is true. It is the same with anything you hear or see inwardly.

The forces of negativity (I call them the "loyal forces of the opposition") are just as loyal to the action they represent as those of the Light are to the action they represent. The negative forces will do everything possible to knock down your positive position. It can certainly be a challenge, but if you can hold the positive position and use only the positive energy to activate your life, the negative forces will not be able to harm or hurt you in any way. It will simply not be possible.

One of the first signs that you are moving from your spiritual path is the expression of gossip.

The truth of who you are in this world is there is no condition that stops you. There's no negativity that is your enemy. If anything, it puts you into the crucible, where the experiences can be intense: If you're glued, you become unglued; if you're attached, you fall apart or come apart at the seams. Often the way that's described is, "I'm crazy. I can't contain my reality any longer. I don't have the strength to run it. So I'm just letting go." This may seem like giving up. Consider this is the "crazy" that keeps us from going insane.
