Often, the simplest tools work the best. "I Love This" is one of the most effective practices for coming to a neutral, uplifting place where you can let love lead. Here's how it works: Whatever is going on in your life - whatever events are occurring, whatever thoughts or emotions you are experiencing - whether you like what's happening or not, accept it as what is and say: "I love this." (You can add other words, but the essence remains the same: "I love myself for doing this." "I love myself for thinking this." Or, if you find yourself in a difficult bind, "I love this situation.") If you find yourself responding to someone in an emotionally reactive way, you can say to yourself, "I love myself for the way I responded emotionally." If someone upsets you, you can say, "I love the way that person upset me." If you're stuck in traffic, you can say, "I love being stuck in traffic," or "I love this difficult situation," or simply "I love this." What's surprising about this method is that it works even if you don't feel any love when you say it. All you need to do is repeat the words consciously - in other words, pay attention and be fully present when you say the phrase. Try this practice for yourself. Make a statement of love whenever you can, whatever situation you're in. Observe whether anything changes inside you. Look on this practice as a fun, exploratory adventure.

As you learn how to do and then drop all judgment of that doing, you will find the golden path to your own salvation. It is nice to know that, to a great extent, you can do it yourself. And if you don't know how to do it now, then you will evolve to where you do know how. It's nice to know that there are infinite chances. And it's nice to know that you get to create for yourself those things that you want.

Love is the key. Loving is the answer.

Enter into the warmth and graciousness of God within you. Go inside to Spirit, to God, to your own loving nature. Don't go inside and look at your emotions, or all you'll see is upset. Don't go inside and look at your mind; it will keep pushing you back out here, and you'll never see anything else. Go past those levels and you'll start moving into some of the most glorious territories that have yet to be investigated.

Many people want the veil to be rent from their vision, and they unfold in pain and anguish. The way of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is not a path of suffering or anguish. It is a path of divine love, of unfoldment, of taking those around you and lifting them up.

Loving is what life is about, and this world is designed to reflect a process for increasing the loving. No matter what the conditions present, loving is always a supreme choice.

Whatever you did up to this point, let it be okay because here you are now, seeking a way to improve your life - not just to make it better than yesterday, but to actually create a life filled with prosperity. Any limited levels you have experienced up to now can even be regarded as valuable because here you are, right now, sitting in the lap of luxurious opportunity.

How do you mature emotionally? I'm going to give it to you in just a few words: be kind to yourself. That's how you mature emotionally. When you take anything that I say or do, or that anybody else says and does, including yourself, and go negative with it, you are emotionally immature. What does an emotional scale look like? A lot of highs and lows and a lot of in-betweens. We have to learn to smooth the curve. Smoothing the curve shows that there's a progression of ability and understanding. There are times when you'd like to just tell somebody where to go, and you don't. That is the maturing moment in your emotional existence. You could rightfully, righteously, purposefully, directionally, strike at them, and you don't, you withhold the hit. That is a real important moment. It's a turning point inside of you.

Most of our difficulties start with wanting things. The ego-personality - the false self - instinctively wants to smell and taste and touch and feel and hear and see. That wanting draws us into the world and worldly pursuits and sets us up to be disappointed, to feel the pain of being unfulfilled. This is part of the human condition. It's also the way we learn. If we don't get the lesson the first time, we'll be given another opportunity - and another and another. If we still haven't learned, we might get counseling or educate ourselves through reading uplifting material, meditate, or go on retreat in order to put our senses back under our direction, rather than allowing them to direct us.

The freedom that comes with the ability to sit for an hour and a half and to focus on the spiritual reality without even consciously being aware of the spiritual reality is so spiritualizing. There's a thing inside that goes, "God, I can do it." That will transfer out in the world to concentration, attention, focus, and other things, and you'll just start accomplishing. That discipline, that focus, that attention of sitting and focusing and doing spiritual exercises - that all transfers to other levels here in the world, and you can accomplish a lot more in a period of time than you ever thought possible because you're really holding the focus. Generally speaking, about six to ten seconds is as long as we can hold a thought before we start to dump it or it ruptures. But that's generally. For initiates who are doing spiritual exercises, that doesn't apply anymore. The rules are erased away, and we're writing our own rules.
