Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

Why play the victim with anyone, young or old? It's not that you have to participate with everyone you meet. You choose to what degree you want to become involved. But if we do not acknowledge our irritation or joy, and so master it, it will drive us crazy. We will get nervous, irritable, upset. We will have attacks of terror, anxiety, or depression. All these feelings are nothing but signs that we are not acknowledging parts of ourselves. You may be thinking, "But you don't know what I've been through, what a struggle, what a battle my life has been!" I understand that, but remember that everyone has struggled. It's not the trouble and pain you've been through that makes you special.

On the way to God, you can't afford judgment and condemnation. They won't make it into the Soul. You can't take them with you. The entry begins with acceptance of all God's creation; that's how you enter. And if you don't accept it all, then you get assigned to the very thing you condemn and resist. You'll be married to it, your children will carry the gene, you'll live with it by the sweat of your brow. Wherever you go in the world, it will be there, until the day you are free of it.

Living love is not just loving from some place deep within you, but living love with every breath. Then you breathe in, love breathes in. And when you breathe out, love breathes out.

Worship should really be called "worth-ship" because a lot of people would say, "Well, I'm not worthy of that." It's not what you're doing or what you're thinking that makes you worthy; it's what you have your eyes on. If you have your eyes on the Lord, then it's immediate worship, and just having your eyes there makes you worthy of it. If the Lord shows up, that's called celebration time.

If you have a spiritual experience and you want to keep having spiritual experiences, you must turn from that which you just completed and go on to the next thing.

The so-called baby boomers are a group that has a special mission from Spirit to bring more Light into the world. (We are seeing this in an even greater way in the youngsters that are being born now.) Early in their lives we saw their idealism. Now that there is more wisdom and experience it must be passed on, and the best way I know to do that is through service. Unconditional service is the highest spiritual expression on the planet. So my advice is to hold the idealism as a distant target and to actualize it through service that offers no material reward, but that assists and lifts others as the goal upon which to direct ourselves. It begins with each individual and is fulfilled as an expression of caring and goodwill toward all. That is where Spiritual Warriors find true fulfillment.

Pickpockets find pockets, and those who feel picked upon find things to pick on and not do.

How do you become capable of bypassing the conditioning, the demands, and the expectations? Not by forcing yourself or pretending. It is a process of awareness, acceptance, and action.

When this body falls away, the Spirit-form that will be you will not have any of the personality things pulling on it. So right now, pull up inside of you. Bless your exterior senses. Bless what you see. Bless the food you eat. Bless the bodies you touch. Be thankful for the clothing you have. Have compassion upon this planet; it's in need of it, but it can have compassion only from someone who carries compassion. You carry compassion. Exercise it through your senses, and you walk through it karmically free.

Youngsters have not conditioned their emotions or their minds to fear the world. They're very much in love with the world. They are very much in love with their parents. They also have a little "animal" consciousness within them, and that "animal" consciousness says, "Feed me right now; gimme that; don't do that." I call this part the Basic Self. That is the part you have to educate. I'm not talking about training; you can train a dog. I'm talking about educating. You take the time to explain to the youngster what you are doing and why you are doing it.
