Staff, Fall of 1984.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>No one in this world is going to hand you anything; the world is not designed for that.\u00a0 You may undergo trials of illusion and forms of behavior modification, but at some point your consciousness will be connected to the Light and Sound of God.<\/p>\n<p>So many times, people find themselves stuck in the glamour of love, thinking it is the pure love they have been seeking.\u00a0 Unconditional love is not found in any outer form; you must first go to your Soul where pure love resides and then be silent.\u00a0 In that silence, you can change the course of your life and determine where you&#8217;re going.<\/p>\n<p>The Soul is already perfect.\u00a0 It resides in its purest form within you.\u00a0 Anything else is a modification, an interpretation, a feeling, a thought, a fantasy or hurt feelings.\u00a0 IF YOU LOVE ENOUGH, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE A FAILURE.\u00a0 When you worry about something, you add your negative energy to the situation and it will come back upon you as more worry.\u00a0 If you enter into the power of love, it will heal and balance all things, clear diseases, lift the emotions, and clear the mind.\u00a0 Love activates the body so you can accomplish what you set out to do and then the miracles become the result of your love.<\/p>\n<p>And in that process, you have written your own guarantee as long as you fulfill the contract.\u00a0 The contract is really quite simple: On the physical level, it&#8217;s health, wealth and happiness for everyone.\u00a0 Take care of yourself so you don&#8217;t become a burden upon society, your loved ones, or your family.\u00a0 In the level of the imagination, hold pictures of completion, the things you want more of.\u00a0 Use this creative imagination to see yourself and everyone else doing good, being good and having good.<\/p>\n<p>Use the emotions to have joy, to have a blissful feeling and to feel good towards all of God&#8217;s creations.\u00a0 This will truly exemplify the loving heart.\u00a0 If you can see this joyfulness in the imagination, and then catch the feeling of it, you will then be able to demonstrate the power of love in the physical world.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it marvelous that there is no way you can lose?\u00a0 If you try out for an acting job and don&#8217;t get the part, it doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re not an actor or an actress.\u00a0 Activate the power of love for yourself and go on to the next thing.\u00a0 Then, no matter what the job is, you are a success.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll know that you&#8217;re not the role you are playing.<\/p>\n<p>And once you find, accept and strengthen the love inside of you, you will also discover that it&#8217;s inside of everyone else too.\u00a0 That&#8217;s even MORE powerful.\u00a0 You will never be able to say a bad word against anyone; you will only have good thoughts.\u00a0 When you look through the eyes of love, the glory of God will manifest all around you.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t even have to speak a word, but when you do speak, your words will convey love.<\/p>\n<p>Watch that you don&#8217;t abuse the power of love by placing yourself higher than those around you.\u00a0 In the eyes of love, we are truly who we are regardless of any image we place before us or any words we speak.\u00a0 When the chips are down, our true colors will show so you might as well devote yourself to the practice of love in all situations.\u00a0 Love is the foundation you can always count on.<\/p>\n<p>There is one consciousness and that is the consciousness of God.\u00a0 There is only one reality and that is God reality.\u00a0 There is only one path and that is the path of Light.\u00a0 And there is only one manifestation, and that is love.\u00a0 Love does not destroy and it doesn&#8217;t allow destruction, so anyone residing in the power of love cannot be destroyed, cannot be separated, is always free and always growing.\u00a0 There is no reason to WAIT for love to appear in your life when it can be present RIGHT NOW.<\/p>\n<p>In divine love, you walk around yourself first to make sure everything is in order; then you can walk with others and respect who they are.\u00a0 In the midst of your physical personality trivialities, your Soul will be laughing.\u00a0 You see, it is hopelessly and incorrigibly the living love.\u00a0 It is blissfully ignorant of the pain and suffering we have in the personality, in the emotions, in the mind and the imagination.\u00a0 It only knows the Light.<\/p>\n<p>When that Light is awake within us, we can give the gift of love to someone.\u00a0 No matter what the gift is, it will overflow to them and they&#8217;ll give it to someone else.\u00a0 That&#8217;s how the Light can spread.\u00a0 Always, in all ways, give of your overflow &#8212; give of the excellence of yourself!<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan (The blessings already are).<\/p>\n<p>WATCH A SHORT VIDEO WITH JOHN-ROGER<br \/>\n<div style=\"max-width: 1280px;\"><video-js data-account=\"6057277728001\" data-player=\"default\" data-embed=\"default\" controls=\"\" data-video-id=\"6062020614001\" data-playlist-id=\"\" data-application-id=\"\" class=\"vjs-fluid\"><\/video-js><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/6057277728001\/default_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unconditional love is not found in any outer form;
