Dear One,
When I begin to write my Love Letter...I sit and wait... and I
listen until the inspiration ignites my fire. What is it
that I have learned this month that I want to share?
What I write always comes from my immersion into my daily experience..
I write of the assignments that surface from my day to day
circumstances. I write about the new thoughts that have evolved from
the challenges. This new thinking allows the choosing of new responses.
I read and study what others have written. I know the
Universal truths. I know without a doubt that I must make the
teachings mine....and this can only occur through my action, by being
in the moment, and not by being in an emotional reaction.
When I was a teenager I read the poetry of Shelley
One line of his poetry was sleeping inside of me until this
morning:
"What are all the "Kissings"
worth if you kiss not me?"
It is not the understanding that changes one's experience but the
willingness to consciously choose another thought, and then, another
action.. It is this act of self loving that creates the
miracle (ACIM)
What is all this worth if I do not fall in love with myself?
For years I have studied the teachings of Spirit and Awakened
Beings. I often quote them in these letters. One of my favorites
is:
from Mooji
" I come to call you Home.
Those who resonate with my words and follow them internally will find
that place and it's completeness, its joy and fullness.
I have come to call you away from suffering, from fear and from a life
of sorrow and into your own divine Being.........
I do not need to know anything about your past.
Your stories are no interest to
me....
I know you only through your
heart.".........
I know and you know that all suffering is a denial of self...caused by
a belief in separation from the Oneness. Suffering comes from the
belief that we are the victims of our FEARS and that fear's warnings
are real.
Emmanuel has said over and
over again that:
"One cannot
look with the eyes of yesterday and hope to see today with any
clarity. One cannot bring the self of yesterday into this moment
with any expectation of freedom. You are taught to kneel at the altar
of Yesterday....but yesterday has ceased to exist. Allow yourself
your G-d given right to rebirth yourself into this moment, right here,
right now."
I love this thought by Victor
Hugo.
"Whether the
G-d be called Christ or love, there are at times, an hour, when HE is
forgotten, even by the best. All of us, even the Saints require a
voice to remind us."
I have come to be the voice that reminds you that this month we
celebrate both Passover and Easter. I have been kissed by the
teachings. These holidays are a celebration that honors humanity's
strivings for spiritual growth. It is a time of renewal and
resurrection, a time of healing and transformation and a time of
spiritual birth.
.
I would like to remind you that the process of birth of any kind is
referred to as "labor." It is a process of dilating and
contracting....of opening and closing, It is the only way (as painful
as it feels in the moment) that we can give birth to ourselves.
This is the miracle of spiritual growth.
As Emmanuel said:
"Open your heart. It takes
only one moment of decision, one flicker of light's remembering and you
are free."
Dear G-d
Help me to release my beliefs in my limitations.
Help me to replace these false beliefs with new unlimited
thoughts.
Help me to be born again into Your light
so that I may serve you by seeing the loving truth in everyone.
Help me dear G-d, so that I may celebrate the recreation of
Heaven on Earth.
So be it,
Amen
Join me in this circle of love,
"I have come to call you home"
I wish you all a Happy Passover and a Joyous Easter.
Barbara
