Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Take the opportunity of walking your child to bed, tucking her under the covers, and spending some time talking, as a loving privilege for both of you. You might ask, "What did you do today that you'd like to do tomorrow?" Or, "What is it that you did today that you don't want to do tomorrow?" If you ask those questions with love and interest, your child's answers may surprise and delight you. This loving process can also assist your child in letting go of any disturbances of the day, setting up a clean slate for a positive experience tomorrow.

Right now is when the consciousness of reality is present. There is no time when it will be present other than right now. Therefore, you don't have to go anyplace.

At the root of our emotional addictions is our belief structure, which continually undermines us by telling us two things: (1) that we will be alone or abandoned, and (2) that we will lose control of reality. The fear of losing control is the strongest human motivator. Control is the master addiction. It is not lack of courage that keeps us from moving forward, as most people think; it is the fear of losing control. We want to control, and when we feel we can't, we freeze, we stop. The person who fears loss of control is like a deer caught in the headlights: Instead of running off the highway to safety, it stops in its tracks. What you are really saying in this struggle for control is, "I'm fearful that I won't succeed." In a very subtle way, that fear is a form of atheism because it tells you, "There's no God to help you." You move into doubt, and you freeze again. Spiritual Warriors turn doubt into a tool. They don't attempt to control it, but they refuse to let it control them. They use it the same way you use a guard rail when you are on a highway running alongside a steep cliff: To mark the boundary between the road and the void. As soon as you feel doubt, move back in until you find yourself once more on firm ground.

Sharing is an interesting blessing. As we come into the power of who we truly are, we take on added abilities. As a result of these abilities, things come to us that we become caretakers of. Things are given into our hands. Some of those are material things. Some of them may be things that are assigned to you even by others -- the IRS, your landlord, or the bank. When you sign on the dotted line, things get assigned to your name. That becomes part of the sharing process: extending yourself so that what is assigned to you -- what is yours -- also goes to others.

If you look deeply into people, you will see something very majestic.

On the Soul level, satisfaction is not a concern because there is nothing negative to use for comparison. The natural, eternal state in Soul is an active comfort of being.

Take yourself to a quiet spot. If it can be physically quiet, that would be beautiful. Often a good, quiet spot is in front of a picture on a wall that can help you enhance your attunement. And when you do this, you can say, "Peace, be still," and it will happen to you. The emotions will subside, the mind will quiet, and you can simply add, "Lord, I receive."

In our training as Spiritual Warriors, we want the critics. We want a petty tyrant in our lives, somebody who is able to bug us with impunity, because these people always show us where we are going in relation to our intention. As a result, they can help keep us in line with our intention.

When we are actively loving, caring, and sharing, it leads to the fourth blessing: health. John-Roger defines it most beautifully: "Health is loving who we are. It's caring for who we are. It's sharing with who we are." It's all of that. That's a healthy vibration, a healthy consciousness, and as we do that, health will come to us.

We exercise discrimination, selectivity of what we want to be involved in and what we're going to get out of it and the length of time involved. Often people say, "I couldn't handle it -- I got out of it." Well, getting out may have been the only way they could have handled it. That's handling it. People say that's a cop-out, but we've got to watch out so that we don't define ourselves into a poor attitude.
