Love is the most natural feeling we can ever have.
Whatever we do that originates from the Love within us, will always move us
into a greater awareness of God. So often we look at Love
in fragments and we do not realize how powerful it is. Every act
of kindness, generosity or giving of any kind, is an act of Love.
All of these countless acts multiply into our consciousness and create
an even more expansive capacity for Love within us.
So many people have
come to me for help when they have lost someone they love, either
through a break-up in a relationship, a divorce, or have chosen
themselves to end a relationship for various reasons with someone they
continue to love. And for most, all these are accompanied with a
sense of loss ... a feeling of being separated from Love. And for
many of us this has happened more than once in our life. These
feelings can be devastating to our emotional well being ... and our
other affairs as well. If we continue to hold onto the feelings of
"loss" ... we will increase our losses and this sense of loss
can create possibilities of loss in our employment, our finances and our
health. It is not unusual for people who have endured long periods
of a sustained sense of loss to find their life beginning to "fall
apart." This is the Law of Mind working with precision ... if
I believe I have a "loss" ... it will give me validation of my
belief ... wherever the opportunity exists.
It is a widely held belief that this emotional sense of loss is
felt mostly by women. But, from my experience in responding to
prayer requests and requests for spiritual counseling, I can assure you
that men suffer through the same experience. Love knows no gender
... at any level but the most primal human level ... at the spiritual or
soul level ... there is no distinction in the feeling senses between
male and female. Often men will suppress these feelings until
there appears to be a desperation experience ... and women will do the
same.
How we deal with these issues
spiritually is the same as we deal with any issue of seeming loss ... we
must turn to the Truth. It is the only thing that can stop us from
allowing the experience to make such an indelible imprint on our
subconscious that we may have to go through the experience numerous
times before we heal it. Willpower will not do it ... willpower
will only repress the feelings ... not heal them. Psychology
cannot do it either ... it can only teach us to live with it ... not
heal it. It is our spirit that must be healed and only Spirit can
do it ... and It does it through Love.
Love heals and nothing else can. We must love the situation ...
and we must love everyone involved in it ... even when it involves a
third-party. On a human level is can be challenging ... but it can
be done and must be done. "Turn the other cheek," the
Master Mind Jesus told us. In other words, change your mind about
the situation ... desire to see it as God sees it ... a miniscule moment
in time ... see the situation healed ... and it will be healed.
Dwelling on loss ... or hurt ... or rejection ... can and often times
does, lead us to separate ourselves from God and therefore our Good.
We must remember that we are God-aware ... that we depend on Principle
... not person, place or thing ... and it is this depending on Principle
that will assure us that we are moving into a greater experience of
Life, Love and immeasurable happiness.
In effect what we
are doing is "making love out of nothing" on a human or
physical level of Life. But, on the spiritual level of Life we are
multiplying the measure of love that we are to enjoy and experience in a
dynamic way. In the moment of turning from the
"experience" and connecting with God or our Higher Self in a
greater way ... we are moving to an enduring and lasting point in
consciousness that is filled with greater self-assurance, confidence and
a higher level of self-esteem and worthiness ... and in turn our making
love out of nothing ... is the finding of Love ever-lasting within us.
And
So It Is!
Maximum Love,
