WHAT LOVE IS…

…Be not afraid of love. For it alone can heal all sorrow, wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of pain the Son whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free. ACIM workbook pg. 455

Everyone, in some way, is seeking for love. A love that is unlimited in the giving and totally fulfilling every desire. What we are truly seeking is the connection with our Creator (God). Our Creator created through expressing eternal love to all of His created. Love is the life force that supports the Universe. All planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies beyond our ability to see or comprehend are a manifestation of love. Take a needle outside during the night. Look at the sky then look at the needle. What you see is equivalent to the end point of the needle as to what the heavens actually hold! Just as our Creator manifested the heavens his creations also include each of us, boundless, unlimited, created in love, surrounded by love, supported lovingly. If we really realized this statement of our creation would we not know love? Would it not be our every moment-by-moment experience? Would not ourselves and the World be radically different?

The reason that mankind, as a whole, has not yet had this experience is because we had forgotten what love is! We have defined love as an emotional occurrence. We believe that the ability to love is located somewhere in our physical form, which directs our

feelings to establish how love must be experienced. We don’t remember our loving connection to our Creator because we focus on a physical feeling or experience. Love is not a feeling…is not an emotion! Love extends far beyond what we can physically experience in the physical world.

Love is an expression, which must create like itself. Love is present everywhere, even here in the illusion of a world separated from its’ Creator. Love is an is-ness! It exists all of the time because it is eternal. Love is life and as you experience love you are enlivened to live fully, freely and completely. Love expresses itself as peace and peace is a condition of joy. In Love there is nothing impossible to us. In Love we manifest all of what we desire. In Love, feelings of limitation, barriers, challenges, and every other thing that we feel we disappears. In Love all things are healed because love is a condition of wholeness and blesses every part with wellness and life. Love provides the environment for growth and expansion far beyond what our minds can conceive or our hearts wish for. Love, being eternal, constantly and consistently supports all life and is abundant in all things! Love is beauty, radiance and Light! In its’ presence darkness dissolves and all things are made new! The power of love is unlimited (again think of the night sky). We have equated love as something else! In our belief systems we have made Love personal, physical and very limited and we weep for its’ loss.

The remembrance of Love can only be found in your Mind (soul, essence, spirit etc.) In connecting with this remembrance you begin a connection with the Creator, which extends of all of creation. In this connection is the remembrance of your creation and your power to co-create. In this connection are all things healed. In this connection peace begins to become a present reality. In this connection there is nothing impossible.
This connection brings unlimited and overflowing joy not only for yourself but also for everyone around you. Peace extends from you and prosperity is a given fact and will manifest in your life abundantly.

The love you have been seeking has always been and always will be in your mind. All that is necessary is the willingness to receive what was eternally given to you. A willingness to forgive (to relinquish your past thoughts, beliefs and actions) and receive your inheritance as the Creators’ created! Accessing the part of your mind that remembers love can be done through prayer, meditation, contemplation and coming into the silent spaces of your mind to receive.

A Course in Miracles states: ‘Simply do this: Be still and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you

hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.’ ACIM workbook pg. 360

Love, being unlimited, will flow from you blessing everything and everyone in your world…‘You need not know the way to Him. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive…Through every opened door His Love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the world in innocence. ACIM workbook page 360 I offer you a visualization that is guaranteed to change every condition in your life: Sit quietly. Try to move distractions from your mind. Breathe deeply. Imagine that a stream of Love is now flowing through your mind. See this stream of Love filling every part of your physical body until it flows down out your feet into the earth. Then see this stream of Love blessing the earth, everyone you know, every event, situation or difficulty that you may be experiencing now. Then see this stream of Love reaching out and extending into the world. When you feel complete with this visualization give thanks for the experience of Love manifesting now in your world!

This visualization does not take a lot of time but its’ effects are life changing. How often you do this visualization will determine how willing you are to experience a different life;
How willing you are to truly live life abundantly, joyously and peacefully. In remembering Love, we remember our Creator and Ourselves. I offer this newsletter with love, recognizing the light that you are and the radiance of your becoming.

Blessings
