Love Interlocks

5/29/2013

Some see the world and say it is coming apart. Crying out like the little chicken who screamed in terror that the sky was falling. The world my dear is not coming a part. Yes, it is being shaken up, but it’s being put back together bit by bit the right way. Your eyes only see a jumble of pieces of what seems like an unsolvable puzzle. You can not see as I do. I see what can be. I see areas here and there uniting, interlocking, working together, joining forces with others who find strength in looking for their similarities not differences. Looking for how they can be stronger and more meaningful as a united force.

Oh yes you see, I see the Bigger Picture and it is lovely, it is grand. I do not expect any of you to begin to grasp the whole, leave that to Me. I just ask you each to have faith in the grand plan of one people united in Love, living and working cohesively together for the good of all. Look around wherever you are on this grand board game for others who have something they need that you may give. Just as others will be looking for something they need to give you. This is how love interlocks, builds and comes together bit by bit no longer as a puzzle but as a beautiful picture of life.

True Faith

5/29/2013

Offer yourself up to My Greater Good.

These are messages, messages to me. I am hearing it now, differently. These words have power for me now at this hour. The old me was afraid to question, especially the ways of God. I now know that our questions are good, each one of them. Yes, it pleases God that we care to know more, that we dare to learn the truth for ourselves.

Ask, ask whatever you don’t know and want to know. Then consider the source of your answers. Are you listening to the wisdom of man? The laws and rules created by man are from man’s limited consciousness. Are you accepting what another, any other, knows as the best you can know? Know better, ask the source of all, ask God the answers to all of your questions. God knows your heart and God wants each of us to know His Infinite Love and Wisdom.

Again God says: Ask. Just ask believing and I will answer. Yes, you will receive as you believe.

I am being continually filled with Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Yes, there is more to life!

Walk by faith, not by sight.

Living in blind faith I still lived with many fears. It was like I was blindfolded and left to maneuver through the world on my own. I bumped into quite a lot and fell down more than once. I felt comfort in routine, as I learned safe paths to follow. My world remained small as I was filled with fear of the unknown. I feared the bumps and potholes that I could not see but imagined laying strewn out before me like land mines. This paralyzing fear kept me bound to a vicious cycle of repetition. Round and round I went never really gaining much true ground farther down the path of life. Blind faith is no faith at all, certainly not faith in good for all.

The faith with which I now walk through life is true faith, faith in Truth and Goodness. My eyes are no longer blinded but wide open to the Glory and Majesty of this world. I see the Good all around me. I trust this Good and trust that there is more.

No, I still cannot see all that lays ahead on the paths my life may take but I walk with a certain surety that all I need to know will be given to me as I need. These are not simple statements of faith; they are strong statements of my simple faith in God. God has and is showing His Glorious ways to me. God is speaking continually to me and guiding my every step. I asked him to. I moved aside and asked God to take the lead. I asked God to lead me, to be My Shepherd.

So though my own eyes have such limited vision, to the extent that in comparison to God’s Wondrous Vision I appear blindfolded, I walk by faith, not by sight. Faith that my dearest friend, is holding my hand and guiding my every step. He will lead me into no harm. Yes, as long as I allow God to take the lead in my life, all is well.

The danger for me, and for all, is not to begin to feel so “self assured” that I believe I can run ahead without God. If I become impatient with God’s Speed and ways and forget to give all glory to God, I will surely trip and fall. Oh yes, fall on my face. But I will always have the opportunity to turn back, for God is always there waiting patiently, not even shaking His Head. He knows I have to learn to appreciate His Wisdom and ways to walk in true faith. He knows that this “true faith” is what we each require to be with Him continually and live higher. God already has faith in us. He is just waiting for each of us to have faith in Him. The Power that be is the Force within me. All glory to God.

My Joy

5/29/2013

What can I feel good about today?

Don’t make your feeling good dependent upon anything you do or another does. I have already provided enough joy in life for all. Why can’t you see this? Stop separating yourself from My Joy. Drink it in. It is your life blood. The blood I give to you. It is your very breath. Yes, the very air you breathe is so easily given to you to enjoy. You struggle not or work not for your breath, do you? So have joy, give thanks. Take a deep breath of “My Joy.”

A breath, a sigh of relief, as I rest in You and Your Joy.

Okay, now you need to deal with your life.

What is the most important thing for me to do now?

Forgive yourself.

Who is this Voice I hear? This Voice I have always heard but not recognized? Is it God? Is it my spiritual guides? Is it my Higher Self?

It is the part of me that knows better.

I can accept that answer.

The Voice of Love

5/29/2013

The Voice of Love never hurts with its words. The Voice of Love never hurts. Its words are kind and gentle reminders, patient reminders. The Voice of Love is spoken to each individually. What each one needs to know from “The One” is available 24/7, from what we call Heaven.

Ask for what you need, then listen patiently. The information is pure. It’s when the mind gets involved that it gets garbled. Are you clear? What We say is clear enough for you to know what to do if you listen carefully with your heart, not mindfully, but heart-fully. In this way, you will truly hear what We say here today.

In this way, all along, We have been here with you. Did you know this was meant for you to see more clearly? Higher, better, unfettered knowledge, Wisdom from on high but not from the sky. So much closer. It’s personal. It’s within. Just for you. Now, let’s begin to see the world more clearly.

Love is the Rule

5/28/2013

Not everything in the Bible is the word of “God,” much of it is the word of “Man” attempting to understand and make rules and judgments for and about God.

This is becoming clear to my psyche.

Love is the rule. Love the Lord God with all your heart and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Faith, speaking in tongues, healing and prophesying are good but if one has not Love, they are all works in vain. This Love is special. It is Divine. It is God’s Love, a Gift for our hearts, free for the asking, a Gift of Spirit, Holy Spirit. Feels like home.

I hear what you are saying.

Love is the rule and better yet, when Divine Love fills your heart, Love rules your heart. No rules are needed.

Why do people need rules?

People need rules until they get it right, until the rightness becomes them. Very few, of those Paul preached to, actually received “the Gift.” If the people truly had, they wouldn’t have needed his rules. And our history would have been full of saints, so full of saints that they would not be historically regarded as extraordinary but ordinary Christians.

To be so filled with “the Gifts” of the Holy Spirit, to be bursting with Divine Love, is “the Gift” Jesus Christ brought to Earth from God. When the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus of Nazareth he became The Christ, all at once His complete essence was of God. Jesus was the first ever to so embody the essence of God, Divine Love. When He did so, He did it completely. All at once. For so great was His Love of God and desire to be One with Him.

The life Jesus lived, as Christ, was to show us what would be possible as well for each of us. We were to believe in Him, believe that He was such a manifestation of God. And to believe that we could as well be such and command the universe, such as Jesus did.

Jesus said that “Christ” would come again and live through us and when “Christ” descended upon us we would be delivered from ourselves, from our old nature. We would be given new eyes to see and new ears to hear. That’s all for now.

The words that fill the pages before this are not “my thoughts.” These words are “my thoughts.” I think the words before were “Divinely Inspired Knowings.” Delivered to my soul, and translated by my soul, to my psyche which wrote them in this journal. They are a direct manifestation of my soul’s development and thus a result of my ability to know things higher. These ideas are not pre-formulated in my mind. They are “discoveries” to me that sit right with my mind, for I am ready to know them.

Don’t think you have to know everything, for if you thought you knew everything, you would not be able to know all there is for you to know. Don’t be a know it all. Be a seeker, a seeker of Truth, which is Love.

I Seek Purity

5/28/2013

I can’t breathe that air. I seek purity. If I had to go in to pull out and save another then of course I would with no doubt. But I will not live there. I need Pure Air to thrive, clean air to be fully alive.

I’m looking beyond local. With my spiritual eyes I see otherwise. I am happy for me. I am happy for you.

It will Ring True

5/28/2013

It is scary, because all I have known as safety is slipping away. Yet I know what matters isn’t matter at all, it’s spiritual and my spiritual truth is grand and wonderful. On this truth I rely. I put my faith in God and His Magnificence. All glory, I give to God.

This is the way, the way you come to Me when all else fails and is broken. You fall to your knees and I lift you up in My Arms. I hold you, love you and admire your strength, your willingness to circumvent yourself for the larger goal of love to and from your “True Self.” This is the way of Life with Me, Life for Eternity.

Things are better than they seem. They really are. I can see the glory of the day to come. I know what you do not. I know what your future holds and it is glorious. Yes, your vision is clouded, but your heart is in the right place, next to Mine. We beat as One. You are My hope and you thought I was yours. I have plans for you, for things We can together do. Yes, Me and you. Oh, what We will do.

We do not desert Our own. You have awakened into a Brotherhood of a caring Family. We are here to love and support you as you do “the work.” You are our eyes and ears. Head to toe you can be and go, and be seen, where we may not. Whatever you do, wherever you are, we are now fully able to assist, as you have allowed us to enter your heart and consciousness. You can say what needs said, so it can be heard. Your voice is clear and beautiful. It will ring true and herald Truth for many. We write books together. Of One Heart and Mind we are. Whatever kind of questions you ask, are the kind of answers you get.

Set it Aside

5/28/2013

“I was pissed.” you say. What do you expect to prove by your anger? Are you out to teach the other a lesson? How about instead make it a lesson in love, a lesson of forgiveness. I forgive you of your hurtful thoughts. Let others misdeeds go as well. Only in this way will you know Peace. Peace be with you, the Peace of Love and Forgiveness.

It’s the ego that doesn’t want to let go. It fears for its life. It is always in the defensive mode. Put the ego to rest. Tell it that is runs your life no more. Let God move up and take control. Put God’s Will, Divine Love in the driver’s seat. Do not keep score. Keeping score is not how you play or win the game of life. Whoever keeps score loses, loses their life. They die to the opportunity to know Wholeness, Holiness.

Crucify the ego or you damn yourself! Don’t you see this? You are not so all that that anyone is going to bow down to you. If you cannot hold your breath or bite your tongue then remove yourself from the situation. Take a walk, breath deep.

What exactly do you think three little words of “I am sorry.” will do for you, redeem your soul? Not unless they come from your own mouth, otherwise they are lost, or you are lost. This lesson must be learned. Will it be tonight? Why not change your mind and change your heart? It is hardened so. Do you know that you are ugly when you choose to behave this way? Your beauty is hidden, spoiled by your boastful pride. “Pride, me?” you disclaim. Yes, pride is getting in your way. Are you too proud to unconditionally love another?

Try this experiment for me, if you will please. Let go of the anger and hurt, if not just for a while. Set it aside for now. Imagine laying it on the floor and pushing it under the bed out of sight. Now, in your mind’s eye pick up a bouquet of fragrant flowers. Hold them, admire them, smell and inhale their sweet essence. Let their essence become yours.

So how did that go for you? Quite smoothly, I observed. You transitioned well. You let go and allowed Love to flow to and through you. And look what happened, the other was able to love you in return. He had no need to act in defense with his ego. Instead through the Love, the quiet space you softly offered, the other was able to self examine and thus realize his ways and how such had impacted you. A sincere apology was then offered, and again and again, which you most lovingly accepted. Now, how could have this scenario have played out any better? I presume you have no need or desire to pull out the old hurts for they now lay dead under your bed.

No Judgement

5/28/2013

How do you judge other? How do you judge yourself? You say you don’t but are you so certain? I do hear your voice. I know your thoughts. They are not always so kind. No judgment is needed upon your part, anyone’s actually. It is this action which brings you out of alignment with who you are and the natural flow of life. Static is created in your naturally healthy vibrational flow.

You do not need to tell anyone who someone else is or your estimation of them. Allow each the opportunity to be who they are. They will show up as they will and prove who they are. When you judge another you are broadcasting your limiting thoughts to the universe. You bring no harm upon anyone but yourself, as each only has access to their own vibrational flow unless you give someone else permission by agreeing with them. The Well Being of the universe, the Fount of all Goodness from which all are born remains constantly and consistently within us, connecting us all by a golden thread.

Just Be

5/28/2013

Who are you trying to please, him, her, Me? Are you pleased with yourself? Why all this pleasing? Just be the best you, you can be. That is enough for Me. I want to see you happy. That pleases Me. This life I give is to be enjoyed not annoyed. So lighten up. Give yourself a break. Break not in to a million pieces. Be whole. Feel whole with Me. This is My Wish for you. Do as you please. With love, Me.
