There Is Nothing That Is Not Of God/Spirit

Namasté!

Good morning,

We all have no doubt heard that love conquers all. In fact, I will say right here and now that Love is all. I believe that the great master of all life is love and there is absolutely nothing that is not of God/Spirit. Think about this, no matter how it looks, what it does or who is doing it, everything is from the Source, God/Spirit. Therefore, everything is love! When we have one of those days in which we feel all alone in whatever we are doing, we are blocking from our very experience the excitement of performing that task, not only using our God-given talents, but with and by the grace of Spirit. Know this my friend that this is absolute truth, we are never alone. Every moment in life we use Spirit's eyes, Spirit's ears; we also speak with the Almighty's voice and think with the Almighty's wonderful brain. With all of this as truth, we can never ever be conquered. Undaunted, we therefore rise to the challenges of human life knowing that the wonderful and gracious love of Spirit shows us the way. Today, let your way be full of light and love. There is absolutely no other way, this is natural and will be anyway. Smile dear one and know you are a brilliant spiritual being!

In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...

Blessed be always,

~dyved...

"An animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not."
~ Democritus

A bird knows precisely the size of a nest required to safely and comfortably accommodate its brood. A bear knows exactly when and for how long, to hibernate. An elephant drinks its fill from a water hole, and then moves on. But a man, a man has trouble buying socks, let alone fulfilling his most fundamental needs. The knowledge we possess regarding our own needs can be summed up in one word - more. More of this and more of that, and when we've had enough, just a little bit more - more of things but less of life. To have more or not to have more, that is the question. And if the answer is to have more, keep in mind that, nowadays, it does take an outrageous fortune.

__________________________________________________________________________________

From this point of view, of all the various species of animal on this planet, human beings are the biggest troublemakers. That is clear. I imagine that if there were no longer any humans on the planet, the planet itself would be safer! Certainly millions of fish, chicken and other small animals might enjoy some sort of genuine liberation!
~ His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

There is a subtle channel, like a vein in which energy flows, extending from the heart out through the eyes. You can communicate great love through your gaze, speaking directly to your own soul or the soul of another person.

Love Is Looking And Finding Each One Of Us

Namasté!

Good morning,

Well here we are well into February now. I call this month the love month. As I sit here writing this I ponder these thoughts. Most everyone knows what it feels like to truly love. In fact the first time that we fell in love, very likely we had received no training, no warning, no preparation for this intense experience. In reality, its more than likely that no one really does. Yet this thing we call love comes unexpectedly, quietly, swiftly and cupid always seems to strike the arrow deeply into any heart that loves. Today my dear friend, we may find ourselves falling in love all over again. In this experience, our quest is to express God/Spirit in our experience, and we do so when we love. The act of loving is easy, inviting, natural and rewarding. Therefore let us be lavish with our love; let us be demonstrative with the affection and frequent in giving that comes from this experience. We must truly know even so that there is no reward in our seeking to have love returned. Rather that there is a greater reward in knowing that love is looking and finding each one of us. We then make ourselves available to love by inviting it, believing that we are more than worthy hosts. I believe that when we do so, we humbly honor Spirit, for we are practicing the use of that which has been given to us by divine right. That is, our ability to choose. My dearest friend, today and for the rest of time, choose to love! Have a grand month. I love you!

In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...

Blessed be always,

~dyved...

TREATMENT / PRAYER

"Today I see others as God/Spirit sees them: PERFECT! I apply myself to the joyous task of loving. I am patient, kind and sincere in my encounters, for my natural instincts are to be these ways and I embody them throughout this day. As a result, I am very happy, deeply content well-loved, supported and absolutely nourished all of this day, and forever! And so it is. Amen."

"The one who has learned to love all people will find plenty of people who will return that love."
~ The Science of Mind, page 297

"Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul."
~ Henry David Thoreau

Your Holiness, how can I stay in touch with my emotions without being afraid? I often control my feelings so much that I am closed off and unable to love.

"When I talk about love and compassion, I make distinctions between the ordinary sense of love and what I mean by love. What I mean by love can arise on the basis of a clear recognition of the existence of the other person, and a genuine respect for the well-being and rights of others. However, love based on strong attachments toward one's close ones is, from the point of view of religious practice, something that has to be ultimately purified. A certain degree of detachment must be developed."
~ His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

__________________________________________________________________________________

All around the world there are people in need of love. Rather than feel helpless about their plight, we can take action on two levels. On the outer level we can be socially and politically active, give money to alleviate suffering, and teach tolerance and respect to our children. On the inner level, we can extend our practice of Metta to neighborhoods, cities, countries, all the people with AIDS or Cancer, or any group of people that our heart reaches out to.

Today, place yourself in an egg of light and practice Metta for yourself, for your loved ones and for the "petty tyrants" in your life. Now think of a group of people that your heart really goes out and repeat the blessings for them:

May you be in peace.
May your heart remain open.
May you awaken to the light of your own true nature.
May you be healed.
May you be a source of healing for all beings.

My friend, one more thing about love. I've taken this from the book:
Friendship with God - An Uncommon Dialogue - Neale Donald Walsch
Page 155; third paragraph.

What is Love?

... But how do You define love which is pure and true?

It seeks to damage or hurt no one. It seeks to avoid the possibility of damage or hurt to anyone.

How can we hope to know if someone else might possibly be hurt by an expression of love?

You may not be able to know in every case. And when you cannot know, you cannot know. Your motives are pure. Your intentions are good. Your love is true. Yet most times you can know, and most times you do. It is clear to you at these times how an expression of love could cause another to experience hurt. At these times, you would do well to ask: What would love do now? Not just love for the current object of your affections, but love for all others as well.

But such a "ground rule" could stop us from loving practically everyone! There's always someone who can claim that they'll be hurt by something someone else does in the name of love.

Yes. Nothing has generated more hurt among your species than the very thing that was meant to heal it.

Why is that?

It is that which is without condition, without limitation, and without need. Because it is without condition, it requires nothing in order to be expressed. It asks nothing in return. It withdraws nothing in retaliation. Because it is without limitation, it places no limitation on another. It knows no ending, but goes on forever. It experiences no boundary or barrier. Because it is without need, it seeks to take nothing not freely given. It seeks to hold nothing not wishing to be held. It seeks to give nothing not joyously welcomed. And it is free. Love is that which is free, for freedom is the essence of what God is, and love is God, expressed.

That is the most beautiful definition I have ever heard.

If people understood it, and lived it, everything would change. Your opportunity is to help them understand it and live it.

Then I'd better understand it myself. What do You mean when you say "love is freedom?" Freedom to do what?

Freedom to express the most joyous part of Who You Really Are.

What part is that?

The part that knows that you are One with everything and everyone. This is the truth of your being, and it is the aspect of Self which you will most urgently and earnestly seek to experience.

We do seek to experience it, every time we connect with someone with whom we feel that sense of Oneness. And the difficulty is that we feel that sense of Oneness with more than one person.

Indeed. A highly evolved being feels it for everyone, all of the time.

How do they get away with that?

Let Me see if I understand the question. How do they get away with feeling a sense of Oneness with everyone, all of the time?

Yes. How are they able to do that without getting into trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Every kind of trouble there is! Unrequired love, unfulfilled expectations, jealous partners - - you name it.

You are bringing up a subject that will reveal the main reason there is pain and misery on your planet surrounding the experience called "love," the main reason you find it so difficult to love each other, and the main reason you find it so difficult to love God. It is perfect that you should bring this up here, because Step Three in forming a true and lasting friendship with God is: Love God.

Go Forth With Courage, Revealing The Divine Body of Perfection

Namasté!

Good morning,

To stand up in the face of adversity and speak with unwavering conviction requires great courage. Yes my friend, I said courage. Although even when we are not confronted by adversity, we can practice having more courage and stronger convictions, for opportunities are everywhere. When we recognize that the courage we draw upon is not ours alone, for the credit goes finally to Spirit, our foundation, our rock. Practicing this courage, we affirm our confidence in creation, and our body responds to this affirmation of absolute truth with well-being. We then reveal the divine body of perfection behind all bodies. In every way, our physical form answers the call of our spiritual being, and the result is natural and vital health. So as you go about your day and the days ahead, take each thought as a prayer of thanksgiving, thinking upon the natural health of your being. You then have insured a lively and energetic response in your body. Have a beautiful and abundant day in all areas. Today, go forth with courage.

In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...

Blessed be always,

~dyved...

TREATMENT / PRAYER

"Nothing can move me from the conviction that my body is in the care of a divine agent working through me. My physical body reflects and is modeled after the perfect idea of God. God is resident in each cel of my physical being, ready to respond to the love I shower on my body. I begin today!"

"Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind."
~ Leonardo da Vinci

Most of us never attend to any new subjects after we finish school. Sure, we watch television and go to the movies, and perhaps read the latest hit novel, but we rarely ever tackle an unfamiliar subject, and so don't set our minds ablaze with discovery. It is a demonstrable if obvious gact that when we are learning the synapses in our brain are vigorously firing, and that when we are idle they are sluggish. So, engage yourself mentally on occasion lest your mind become a dull and habitual thing barely conscious of its own rut.

As you well know, it's quite difficult to teach an old dog a new trick.

__________________________________________________________________________________

It is natural for the heart to open and close rhythmically like the petals of a flower, many times throughout the day. The times when we are most aware of the heart opening is when it has been closed. The opening is like a gift of grace, a moment of heightened awareness when we lift out of small mind and soar in the limitless sky of the Big Mind of God.

Today, dedicate yourself to an awareness of whether your heart feels open or closed. Periodically, at intervals you select (perhaps before each meal, snack or drink), notice whether or not your heart is open. If it feels closed, call upon the Archangel Michael to help you open it and then pause to take a few deep breaths and bring back a memory of a time that it was open. It is important not to be attached to the results - your heart may or may not feel open. The important thing is the awareness that you alone bring to this exercise.

Explain God

This was written by an 8-year old, Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, CA, for his third-grade homework assignment. The assignment was to explain God.

I wonder if any of us could do as well.

One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.

He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk he can just leave that to mothers and fathers.

God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off. God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your Mom and Dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.

Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church.

Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His Father and He told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said "O.K." His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones He can take care of Himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important. You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God.
Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.

If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.

But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases. And...that's why I believe in God ***

Keep these thoughts with you throughout the coming years:

1. If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

2. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

3. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.

4. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.

5. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

6. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary.

Face it, He's crazy about you.

Pass this on and brighten someone's day, and remember God answers to Knee-Mail!
