Here are three ways to search through the history of over 5,000 Loving Each Day quotes by John-Roger and John Morton.
Judgments can be projected toward other people and things outside of yourself. If you pick up the newspapers and read about people or events that you then decide are bad, evil, wrong, etc., then you have judged and set yourself up to become the nature of your judgments. Some people might ask, "But what about all the terrible things that people do and that happen in the world? Am I supposed to pretend they are wonderful and that there are not any problems and troubles in the world?" No. Judging takes place when you unnecessarily and negatively interpret what you experience or perceive.
If you are supporting yourself and trusting that Spirit will bring forward exactly that which is for your highest good, then all decisions can be the right decision.
Taking care of yourself first might mean: get a job, pay your bills, take the dog for a walk, keep your house clean, or get enough sleep at night. When these basic need levels are taken care of you can then look around you to see if there are others who need help. If you are volunteering your time for this, that and the other thing but you don't have your rent paid for this month, you really haven't been taking care of yourself first, and it may cause tension or conflict inside of yourself. Many times, the "pressures" of the world are just pressures that you've put upon yourself and they can be relieved by taking a more realistic look at your life and how you are using your time and energies.
How do you teach and encourage? Words can help, but they aren't the primary teaching tool. Love is the greatest instructor.
If you are reading this and are distracted from the experience you get while reading this, you need practice. Practice the action of focus. Place your intellect, your emotions, your body -- your entire self -- here and now. When you are in the only place that Spirit exists, which is here and now, you are then available to your freedom. If you wait for the dispensation of Spirit, or your divorce, or when you move, or when your kids grow up and leave home, or when you lose weight, or when you get a raise, or whenever, you may have to wait until whenever, which may be four incarnations from now.
Loving is a blessing. There is always an opportunity to open up to greater loving. If you want to know what my work is about, the bottom line is that it is about loving. If you are invoking and evoking your loving nature, it will lead you into the highest consciousness. Loving is the opening. It is the portal. All pass in loving. All enter through loving.
Put the Light around the world. Ask to live each moment in the consciousness of the Light and to be the Light.
Observing our beingness is the process that releases us and opens us and expands us to let the Spirit flow through us. Yes, it is a miracle, but if we try to partake of it through our egos, we block it. And so we have to maintain our openness. We have to say simply, "Lord, I receive, and I am grateful." It doesn't matter what religion you practice; we must all surrender to the highest source we can. All of us must ask for protection, for that is what surrender really is -- placing ourselves into the protecting hands of God.
When you seek out in the world for happiness or peace, you are moving into patterns of self-denial because you are, in actuality, saying that peace does not reside naturally within yourself. So you come from a consciousness of lack, and lack is the result. When you go into the outer world seeking peace, you are looking for sensation. Sensation, for a short time, can assuage the yearning for peace. It can distract you momentarily, but it's not long before the sensations of the world stupefy your physical senses, and you find yourself automatically retreating back toward yourself. You find yourself yearning for peace.
If you have the choice of the divine knowing or the divine unknowing, take the divine unknowing. As soon as you know, you have to take responsibility for all the actions. As soon as you don't know, you still are open to receive of the grace of that.
