Let\u2019s get to the loving. \u00a0Can you hear the practicality in that? \u00a0Can I do that just by saying, “I love you?'” That is a way, particularly if you give those words meaning. \u00a0 Do you say them with your heart?\u00a0 <\/em>– John Morton <\/p>\n

This article comes from a seminar John Morton gave on January 15, 2021 for MSIA Discourse subscribers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do some practical spirituality.\u00a0 How do you get along with this world?\u00a0 One aspect of that answer is you get along because you choose to get along.\u00a0 Make that decision or express the intention, \u201cI want to get along with my life.\u201d\u00a0 You can choose your own words.\u00a0 Life has a lot of bandwidth and range. Your life is your responsibility.<\/p>\n

I look at life as larger than your body.\u00a0 It\u2019s larger than what happens or what you do physically.\u00a0 Life is spiritual in nature, God in nature.\u00a0 In that way, our life has a guarantee and a promise that you can handle it.\u00a0 You can handle your life.\u00a0 The place where that is taking place with no exception is in your breathing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if I can\u2019t get my breathing working through my lungs and then across the blood-brain barrier transferring the oxygen to my brain cells that need that?\u201d Okay, that is a possibility, a condition that can occur.<\/p>\n

You are breathing beyond the blood-brain barrier and whatever the cells need and require in your body.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call that the Holy Breath, God\u2019s breath, which breathes life into you.\u00a0 And you also have a way of breathing it out.\u00a0 If we take in the breath of life, we give it out.\u00a0 There is something there as a lesson.\u00a0 It\u2019s a mechanism by which we live.\u00a0 It\u2019s a way of understanding what we are to do while we are in this world. How do you get along with this world?\u00a0 You breathe.\u00a0 Keep breathing.\u00a0 Consciously take in the breath and give it out openly, freely.<\/p>\n

How do you get along with your life and<\/em><\/strong> get along with the world?\u00a0 There is something that can apply to both.\u00a0 The obvious is that you love it.\u00a0 Then, there is something else.\u00a0 You are loved.\u00a0 Which came first?\u00a0 The chicken or the egg?\u00a0 I loved it.\u00a0 I always loved, so which came first doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 They are one and the same.\u00a0 You are loving and being loved.\u00a0 It\u2019s loving.\u00a0 Let it be free to do the loving you give and the loving you receive in life.\u00a0 Can you do that unconditionally?\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n

Claim that.\u00a0 \u201cYes, I can.\u201d\u00a0 Then the question comes, do you love your life?\u00a0 Do you love the world?\u00a0 For that second part, I can feel some resistance.\u00a0 How about you? That can be an awareness.\u00a0 \u201cI love the world to a point.\u00a0 Then I run into my resistance, contraction, and issues.\u201d\u00a0 Can you love the issues?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to the loving.\u00a0 Can you hear the practicality in that?\u00a0 Can I do that just by saying, \u201cI love you?\u201d\u00a0 That is a way, particularly if you give those words meaning.\u00a0 Do you say them with your heart?\u00a0 Do you say them with all you\u2019ve got going in your body so that your body demonstrates loving? Perhaps you find the conditionality. That awareness helps you relate and understand where the loving needs to go.\u00a0 Maybe that is to whomever you are within your life. That\u2019s very practical.<\/p>\n

Notice how you are always in your life.\u00a0 Hopefully, I didn\u2019t have to point that out for you to have that awareness.\u00a0 You are in your life.\u00a0 \u201cI am always in my life even when I\u2019m unconscious, when I don\u2019t know where I am.\u00a0 If I come into the body and don\u2019t relate to what was going on, where was I?\u201d\u00a0 Let that be okay.\u00a0 Let your life include the unconscious.\u00a0 What you don\u2019t remember or what doesn\u2019t come into your conscious awareness, love that anyway.<\/p>\n

Did you hear that?\u00a0 \u201cWhat if I don\u2019t know what it is?\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s conditional loving. When I look at conditional loving, I come to a conclusion. That is not loving.\u00a0 That is a condition.\u00a0 Loving is unconditional.\u00a0 That\u2019s the loving I know.\u00a0 Bring that into your life, including what you don\u2019t consciously know.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call that \u201cdivine unknowing\u201d.\u00a0 It is divine even if you don\u2019t know it.\u00a0 You can make that commitment.\u00a0 \u201cI am going to love no matter what. I\u2019m going to be loved no matter what.\u201d\u00a0 Let that resonate.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to use the mind for divine purpose.\u00a0 Consider that is one of the specialties of the Traveler.\u00a0 The Traveler can bring to your mind what is divine in its nature and let your mind have inspiration beyond what you can conceive and what your mind, in its way, knows. Is there something beyond the mind?\u00a0 Yes. Whatever it is, consider it\u2019s still in the divine order, the divine presence.<\/p>\n

When we get ahold of this as a conscious awareness, it\u2019s full of inspiration.\u00a0 It relaxes us, bringing inner calm.\u00a0 It brings the qualities of the divine.\u00a0 Every divine quality is beautiful.\u00a0 If we relate to something as less than beautiful, as something we would reject, judge or condemn, that\u2019s not it. Keep going.<\/p>\n

One opportunity we have in getting along with our life and the world is if some form shows up that we would reject, deny, condemn, punish or attack, we don\u2019t do that.\u00a0 Look at that as a choice we all have, even if others aren\u2019t choosing it.\u00a0 That\u2019s not your level of concern.\u00a0 The choice is yours and it is a precious choice.<\/p>\n

Have the wisdom to pass on things that are of a negative order, perhaps a temptation towards something that can become habitual in nature.\u00a0 We can have negative patterns and habits we\u2019ve developed even if we do not remember developing them.\u00a0 Those can be difficult because we start relating to them like, \u201cI must be this person who is so disturbed, depressed and confused because I keep expressing or experiencing my life in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is just a pattern.\u00a0 Have the wit to know it doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0 It is not what you want in your heart of hearts.\u00a0 My heart of hearts is full of loving.\u00a0 It is also the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.\u00a0 Get to the one who is Supreme to all.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider that is God.\u00a0 When we have that consciousness of God, we are in a beautiful state, a masterful state.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Going to God<\/p>\n

Thank You, Lord, for coming before us
\nso we are in direct relationship to Your countenance,
\nthat we can face You with all of what we have,
\nwith all of what You have,
\nwhich is a full embrace.
\nSo, we’re fully in touch in the oneness of what this is,
\nin this divine consciousness.<\/p>\n

Yes, you can let go, completely. What\u2019s that like?
\nWell, it’s something like falling higher,
\nlike you let go of whatever would be your containment of yourself as an identification,
\nto release that, so that you become the consciousness that is the Traveler,
\nwhich is going to God.<\/p>\n

There’s the blessing. We’re all going to God.<\/p>\n
