It takes our intention to get on the \u201cloving station,\u201d the positive station.\u00a0 That is something we do by our volition.\u00a0 We are on it spiritually all the time.\u00a0 That is always present.\u00a0 If we attune ourselves spiritually, then we will automatically be attuned to that loving, positive frequency.\u00a0<\/em>– John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a sharing session John had with students in the Doctor of Spiritual Science (DSS)\u00a0classes in February 2001<\/strong><\/p>\n

God\u2019s loving is in all things.\u00a0 When you experience that truth, you also understand it as a natural process.\u00a0 You would automatically be aware of the loving in all things.\u00a0 We have a negative attunement here in this world, in the body as well as in the consciousness.\u00a0 We can get on that frequency and be attuned to the negative frequency.\u00a0 The station we are listening or responding to could be a negative transmission.<\/p>\n

It takes our intention to get on the \u201cloving station,\u201d the positive station.\u00a0 That is something we do by our volition.\u00a0 We are on it spiritually all the time.\u00a0 That is always present.\u00a0 If we attune ourselves spiritually, then we will automatically be attuned to that loving, positive frequency.\u00a0 But our habitual, physical, and psychic material natures will also be playing.\u00a0 We are playing as a multidimensional consciousness.<\/p>\n

The negativity is also always on.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t anybody in a body who doesn\u2019t have that station plugged in.\u00a0 If we want to attune ourselves positively, we have to consciously take that attunement.\u00a0 We can cause ourselves to be habitually positive, habitually loving, but we don\u2019t often think of it that way.<\/p>\n

You might be around someone and go, \u201cYou know, you\u2019re always love.\u00a0 You are so loving.\u00a0 You\u2019re always so up and uplifting, like there is something wrong with you!\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t you understand what is going on here?\u00a0 There are a bunch of problems, things that don\u2019t work and things we don\u2019t like.\u00a0 The natural response is to be bothered, upset, miserable and sick – or at least something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a certain amount of truth to that.\u00a0 When we are attuned negatively, a natural product of that is what negativity brings.\u00a0 There are fruits of negativity.\u00a0 They are unnecessary because of the opportunity we have to attune ourself spiritually into the loving nature. If we could see it, it would appear as a tentacle that goes out from us.\u00a0 It takes our energy and intention to hold it up, or it will drop off.\u00a0 Negativity is like gravity.\u00a0 It is a nature that will pull on the positive nature.<\/p>\n

By our intention, we can hold up the positive so we wouldn\u2019t have to be aware of the loving in every little thing.\u00a0 That would require a lot of effort.\u00a0 It can just be looking and realizing that there is loving across all of this.\u00a0 But it is really taking place with each part of it.<\/p>\n

It takes great discipline, focus and dedication to hold\u00a0loving\u00a0so we stay loving.\u00a0\u00a0We are human.\u00a0\u00a0We would not be here physically if some part of us wasn\u2019t dropping into the negative lower nature.\u00a0 That is how we get here.\u00a0 We drop down into it.<\/p>\n

There is always going to be something that is not quite holding up the loving for us to focus on and lift.\u00a0 If it\u2019s not in our own body, there is still a greater opportunity with what is around you to connect to it in a loving, conscious way.<\/p>\n

In MSIA, we teach to make it something singular.\u00a0You don\u2019t have to think of every little thing or have some kind of checklist for your prayers before you can move about your day.\u00a0 It\u2019s much better if you can find a way to do it all at once.<\/p>\n

Some things do call our attention and focus, so we get particular about what we are lifting and connecting with what needs the loving, a loving way.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t consider that you can say, \u201cLoving\u201d and then it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

Everyone has an assignment on a daily basis to consciously go to God.\u00a0 That is our source that replenishes and regenerates us.\u00a0 That is more accurately what we are doing when we sleep.\u00a0 We are re-sourcing so that we are being replenished in our life force.<\/p>\n

Where do we go for that?\u00a0 We go to a place very deep inside of us, at the core of our being.\u00a0 For the most part, we are not really conscious or aware of that.\u00a0 We don\u2019t\u00a0necessarily\u00a0know where we go to get re-sourced and replenished, but we\u00a0are<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0aware when we are not re-sourced, replenished or rested.\u00a0 If someone asks, \u201cDid you get your rest, your sleep?\u201d how does that translate?\u00a0 Did you get replenished and re-sourced, so you are \u201cup\u201d?<\/p>\n

You\u00a0can\u00a0learn how to let go of things in the world.\u00a0A lot goes on psychically in the dream state to work that out.\u00a0 But nothing works like going to God and\u00a0surrendering ourself from our psychic material nature.\u00a0It is a very holy, sacred act to do that.<\/p>\n

When we practice spiritual exercise, we go about that in a different way. It is one that we\u00a0can\u00a0do as a consciously directed process.\u00a0 It is not like putting up a white flag, which is often what sleep is.\u00a0 Like, \u201cI can\u2019t take it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can direct ourselves in that process to understand sleep is a time to let go of the world, the mind, and emotions, and cooperate with that no matter who is next to you or where you are.\u00a0 I often tell whoever is around me, \u201cI\u2019m going to get out of my body,\u201d or \u201cI am going to get down.\u201d\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s like I don\u2019t have much choice in the matter.\u00a0 I just let people know when it happens.\u00a0 \u201cDon\u2019t be surprised\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t expect much out of me, because I\u2019m not likely going to be very available.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am also aware of when it is happening, and my eyes are still open.\u00a0 There is still functioning going on, but there\u2019s not much \u201chere.\u201d\u00a0 That is not a time to do important, attention-needing kinds of exercises.\u00a0 It\u2019s probably time to take a back seat.\u00a0 Don\u2019t drive or make important decisions.\u00a0 Excuse yourself.\u00a0 Maybe there is a time of day when you have a quiet place you can go, where the world isn\u2019t pulling on you.<\/p>\n

There is an aspect of being spiritual that is constantly awake, and if you want to \u201csleep,\u201d\u00a0it doesn\u2019t work that way.\u00a0 It is more accurate that you want to rest.\u00a0 Can you have some time to yourself?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 You may need to create and direct that in a particular way, so you are making your attunement to the Spirit\u00a0your clear and loving intention.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Presenting Ourself to the Lord<\/h4>\n

Lord God, here we are again,
\npresenting ourselves such as we are.
\nWe take a moment to pause,
\nso You may stir what is unconscious
\nin the way that is of the truth, of our higher nature.
\nWe ask that You simply point out to us
\nanything that we could sacrifice.
\nIf there is resistance from our perceptions,
\nwe ask that You assist in the way of understanding
\nso we may freely let go
\nand trust that You are leading us constantly.
\nWe come into a consciousness to be Your students,
\nto learn from Your exampleship.<\/p>\n

May we put aside
\nwhatever we have held as beliefs that are not true,
\nthat function in illusion.
\nBathe us. Cleanse us.
\nLet us freely give up any darkness,
\nany attachment in whatever does not serve.<\/p>\n

For those of us who are exhausted, tired, frustrated,
\nor in any way shut down,
\nwe ask for Your strength and healing
\nto continue with enthusiasm and joy.
\nYou are the Lord that restores, redeems,
\nand makes new again.<\/p>\n

For some of us, You show that we must forgive.
\nWe must release the judgments
\nif we are to behold Your mercy and grace.
\nWe can see those who are our friends,
\nthe ones we know who come from Spirit,
\nare gathering around us and holding Light and Love,
\nsustaining until we do let go.
\nWe understand that all of Your creation,
\nwhatever has gone before in our existence,
\nis converted into our friend in all these experiences.<\/p>\n

Stand tall inside of us
\nas our wisdom, our knowledge, and our liberation.
\nYou stand before us
\nas the one we know as the Christ and the Traveler,
\nand with all those who share in that way.
\nSweet surrender.<\/p>\n
