You aren\u2019t going to like that?\u00a0 You\u2019re going to regret that?\u201d\u00a0 Some have said, \u201cIf you were smart, you wouldn\u2019t have anything to do with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe I\u2019m smart enough to have something to do with you.\u00a0 I get something out of it.\u00a0 Maybe I don\u2019t get everything because I don\u2019t want everything.\u00a0 For example, if you\u2019ve got some sort of stink on you, I don\u2019t necessarily want that.\u00a0 Maybe one of the ways I can help you is to get you close to some soap and water. Or perhaps something that will take from you what brings you part of a disease.\u00a0 We\u2019ll start somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great questions is, \u201cIs this my level of concern?\u201d\u00a0 I am asking the God consciousness.\u00a0 It\u2019s also called \u201cThe highest good\u201d.\u00a0 Is this my level of concern?\u00a0 If it is, I just realize it is up to me.\u00a0 It\u2019s on.\u00a0 Then, do I have the courage and the willingness to follow in that way?\u00a0 Sometimes I find my resistance and I find out what that brings.\u00a0 It is usually something like regret or that I missed out.\u00a0 Once in a while, it brings in something that needs to be clarified, purified, and lifted.<\/p>\n<p>The power of love brings you to a place where you soften up.\u00a0 You find your tenderness, your quiet peacefulness.\u00a0 That is the power of love.\u00a0 There are what we call \u201cSpirit Beings\u201d.\u00a0 Sometimes people call them angels.\u00a0 You can bring that power of love around you.\u00a0 The force field relates to the power of love that it would put around you.<\/p>\n<p>In the power of love, there is no fear.\u00a0 If you have fear, you have a ways to go.\u00a0 That\u2019s okay.\u00a0 One of the ways that works is it presents a negative form that takes on your doubt.\u00a0 You doubt yourself and that doubt can be how you perceive and relate to others as well as what you send to others.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ways the power of love works is that you see the good and divine in people and things.\u00a0 Then you are playing at the level of Soul Transcendence.\u00a0 You are playing in the heart of God.\u00a0 It\u2019s okay if that takes you awhile.\u00a0 That is where patience comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Let go of the negative form.\u00a0 Whatever that is, just let it go.\u00a0 Say, \u201cI\u2019m not relating to that.\u00a0 I\u2019m giving that up.\u00a0 I\u2019m casting that on the Christ, that consciousness that can take the negative form and negative creation.\u201d Then, the key is that we would let it go.\u00a0 We\u2019d give it up and send it into that consciousness that is the Christ.\u00a0 Can I do that within?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 The Christ is an indwelling, anointed consciousness of God that breathes us.\u00a0 We were born in this, even if it is asleep or on the other side of a hardened heart.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you can do with the power of love is make it more conscious.\u00a0 Allow it to be your way.\u00a0 There are lots of iterations of consciousness and then the part that is supreme.\u00a0 You can choose to keep bringing yourself to it, like, \u201cI am here to love.\u201d\u00a0 Have that awareness.\u00a0 Maybe for a while that is not easy to express. If other people don\u2019t understand the power of love as it expresses through you, then have that openness.\u00a0 Give yourself over to the power of love.\u00a0 Let that be what you hold to, rather than attempting to satisfy what others think you should be or not be.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ways you can access the power of love is through inner calm.\u00a0 You can learn how to quiet yourself and find your stillness.\u00a0 There are meditations that help you do that as well as all kinds of ways of breathing and relaxing.\u00a0 As you come into that inner calm, it becomes something that expands.\u00a0 It is an energy field that can take over your entire body, so it\u2019s in a calm state.\u00a0 You can consciously let go of any places of tension in your body.<\/p>\n<p>One of the blessings in the power of love is touching.\u00a0 It can be as simple as a loving touch.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t need to have an agenda.\u00a0 There is room for affection.\u00a0 If we are doing something through touching, we need to relate to that in balance and harmony.\u00a0 That is the power of love, the honesty, so it doesn\u2019t have to be a threat.\u00a0 It can just be awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to be loving, is having a cheerful nature.\u00a0 It comes out as a giving nature.\u00a0 That is the power of love.\u00a0 We encourage what is right and good.\u00a0 If something appears \u201coff\u201d, we just bring it into question.\u00a0 Not as a form of doubt, but rather as a form of honesty.\u00a0 Like, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u00a0 Is that working for you?\u00a0 Are you aware of how I\u2019m experiencing that?\u201d\u00a0 Within the honesty is the power of loving that has the carrier wave.<\/p>\n<p>If I am questioning, checking, and don\u2019t understand, then the power of love would be, \u201cI want to bring in greater understanding and harmony.\u201d\u00a0 Regardless of what that is, the power of love is always with every one of us.\u00a0 It does not forsake or abandon us.\u00a0 If you are cold, you can ask for warmth.\u00a0 If you are hot, you can ask for cooling.\u00a0 If you are lonely, you can ask for connection and then\u00a0<strong><em>be<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0that connection.\u00a0 More and more, do it in ways that are fulfilling.\u00a0 What that is in a perfect way, God\u2019s way, can come through grace in perfect timing.\u00a0 That is the power of love.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Power of Love Blessing<\/p>\n<p>Dear Lord. We are before You as those who love You, and the power of love, and the power that we have to give it to You.<\/p>\n<p>So, there is a power we each have. We can love God. So how would you get your arms around God so you could give God a hug, a real embrace? Like \u201cI love you, God. And I want you to feel my embrace of loving.\u201d The love of God is happening because I&#8217;m allowing myself to embrace what I have to embrace in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m seeing in this blessing, and it is a blessing that we could realize from now on, for the rest of our existence, is that we&#8217;re always in the power of love, so we can give it. We always have the power of giving the love. So, it never runs out, and you would do it to anyone and anything. There&#8217;s the unconditional nature of it.<\/p>\n<p>That takes great courage So, consider there&#8217;s the power of love in courage. It&#8217;s the energy of the heart.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider what we&#8217;re looking at is the sacred heart that is of a divine nature. If it leads you into any condition, any outcome, the power of love is the one that always endures, always prevails.<\/p>\n<p>The power of love is that consciousness that very beautifully adoringly tells us, \u201cI am always with you. I am the power of love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Let go of the negative form.\u00a0 Whatever that is, just let it go.\u00a0 Say, &#8220;I\u2019m not relating to that.\u00a0 I\u2019m giving that up.\u00a0 I\u2019m casting that on the Christ, that consciousness that can take the negative form and negative creation.&#8221; &#8211; John Morton This is the second article that comes from John\u2019s sharing at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":90416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[266,261],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-john-mortons-current-story"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
