“Right now on the ground where you now stand, dare to unhook form all”

“We live in stressful times and are bombarded daily with bad news. In contrast, how little we hear of the trend of tremendous good that is being done, the trend of compassionate, generous humanitarian action that is occurring on the planet. Here’s some good news: we have the power to unlock ourselves in this very instant, to drop the cell phone, the earplugs, the ear receiver, and just for a while, sit still and simply be. Not be someone, but just rest in our pure being….”

“Right now on the ground where you now stand, dare to unhook form all the complaining, excuses, projections onto others, blaming—all the rackets that we run in order to cope with life. It is absolutely within our ability to rejuvenate, regenerate, and resurrect ourselves. When we see or hear about others who have transcended their individual challenges, we can be confident that they have first transcended they tyranny of trends by beholding a deeper dimension of their innermost core.”

“Many of the things people do for other people are for the purpose of receiving love in exchange”

“Many of the things people do for other people are for the purpose of receiving love in exchange. You may have been taught that love was something you had to earn through your good behavior and through fulfilling other people’s needs. You may have trouble setting boundaries with others, thinking that to do so might hurt their feelings or push away their love. If you think love comes to you only when you earn or deserve it, it is time to experience the magnetic quality of soul love.”

“Reflect on your relationship with the person you have selected to soul link with. Are you working hard to earn this person’s love, doing things you do not truly want to do? Are you being pulled between doing what you think the other person wants you to do, so that this person will love you, and fulfilling your own goals, aspirations and soul’s directions? What do you think this person might do, or how might this person feel, if you stop doing the things you’re doing to earn love?”

“Sense your heart center, filled with your soul’s magnetic love. It is not what you say or do; it is the love that is the essence of your being that draws people to you and keeps them with you. Fill your heart center with your soul’s love. Soul link and radiate the magnetic quality of love to the person you have chosen. Feel how magnetic your love is to receiving love in return.”

“Translate your soul connection into a statement that defines for you the new way you were going to think about this relationship. You might say something such as, ‘I offer you soul love. Is the most important gift I can give you. I now magnetize the highest and best of our relationship has to offer.’”

“…Feel the difference between being magnetic to love and working hard for love. When you magnetize love you stay in the center of your being and in touch with your soul. Love flows out from you and draws love to you. You do not send your awareness out to others to anticipate their needs and moods so you can then behave in certain ways to gain their love.”

“When you are magnetic to love you stop doing things you do not want to do so others will love you. Instead you do things that are loving to yourself. When you’re magnetic to love you’re not dependent upon one person as your source of love; you can receive love from anywhere and everywhere. You are serene because you know you can experience an abundance of love by radiating soul love that magnetizes love in all of its forms and expressions to you.”

“Most things break instead of transform because they resist”

The quiet miracle of love is that without our interference, it, like water, accepts whatever is tossed or dropped or placed into it, embracing it completely.”

“Of course, we are human and are easily hurt if not loved back or if loved poorly. But we waste so much of life’s energy deliberating who and what shall be worthy of our love when in the deepest elemental sense, these choices are not in our province, anymore than rain can choose what it shall fall upon.”

“Certainly we need to make decisions: Who will I spend my time with? Who will I learn from? Who will I live with? Who will I marry? But beneath all that, the element of love doesn’t stop being elemental. It does not stop covering everything before it. And over a lifetime, the pain of withholding this great and quiet force is more damaging than the pain of being rejected or loved poorly.”

“For love, like water can be dammed, but toward what end?”

“In truth, the more we let love flow through, the more we have to love. This is the inner glow that sages and saints of all ages seem to share: the wash of their love over everything before them; not just people, but birds and rocks and flowers and air.”

“Beneath the many choices we have to make, love, like water, flows back into the world through us. It is the one great secret available to all. Yet somewhere the misperception has been enshrined that to withhold love will stop hurt. In truth, it is the other way around. As water soaks scars, love soothes our wounds.”

“If opened up to, love will accept the angrily thrown stone, and our small tears will lose some of their burn inthe great ocean of tears, and the arrow released to the bottom of the river will lose its point.”

Manifesting the GodIsIs ☥

goddess14“For whither thou goest, I will go.”
-the Book of Ruth

Life flows in waves of feminine energy.
There would be no life on Earth without the Mother. Nurturing always,
judging never, the Goddess is the embodiment of all growth and progress.
Mother Earth is fertile and ever-growing. The natural relationship of
the human to the Earth is receptivity. Balanced humans live in a
reciprocal, symbiotic relationship with their Mother: complementing,
enriching, expanding in waves of life, love and joy.

With the dominance of the ego in the
collective consciousness of the human race for the past five thousand
years, our relationship with Mother Earth has fundamentally shifted. The
ego wishes to own everything, to control everything. Ego-based human
beings no longer receive life in joy with one-pointed Faith; ego-based
human beings live in fear and therefore attempt to manipulate all of
life. Control of the Earth by the left-hemisphere, male-dominant,
ego-based collective consciousness of the human race has led us to the
threshold of global destruction. There is no question that this must
change; there is no question what the change must be; the only question
is how quickly this transformation can occur.
