Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Do you ever think about time and how it seems to fly by and then in other instances drags on for an eternity? This week’s message gives an interesting perspective of time and how it’s actually a belief that we can work with to benefit our lives, not an experience that leaves us feeling stressed or bored. I like this idea.

So my experiment this week is to play with time; to check my thinking when I tumble into the “there’s not enough” or “there’s too much” time perspective (though I have to say that I rarely feel like I have too much time...). Will you join me?

With Love.

Your concept of time correlates to your own personal view of reality. Your understanding of time will be your experience of time. If you feel as if you do not have enough time or have too much time it is your belief that it is so, and the action that you take within that belief structure.

If you believe that there is not enough time you will create actions that are consistent with the belief. You will commit to too many endeavors that will not fit into the allotted structure they are set within. If you believe that there is too much time you will create a melancholy mindset that leaves one feeling a lack of energy, leading to boredom.

It is embracing that all is well within the structure of the world in which the Universe has set forth, and that time is an element of belief that is meant to serve your experience—nothing more. It is to believe that time allows all the joy that life has to offer and that there is always enough joy to fill the space of time.

You Must Remember This…

We all know that some day we’re going to leave our bodies and ride off into that big ol’ sunset in the sky. As they say, no one gets out of here alive. But why are we even here to begin with? If it’s so much easier and better “over there” then why be “here” at all? Well, this week’s message explains it, pure and simple.

The game of life is more a game of remembering, and the faster we remember, the more enjoyable the ride. Time to take this body out for a joy ride…

With Love.

You must remember there is no permanence in your experience of the current body. Although fleeting, it is useful for your development to embrace the knowledge that this body brings you and the life it experiences. It is to take the challenges and rise to the state of love. It is to know that at the end is love and always love. It is to understand that you are love in its purest expression, yet you have forgotten, as part of the experience is to learn to remember again. Your growth as a soul comes from remembering. You are here to challenge yourself to remember, amidst all of the turmoil and challenges that life on this particular planet brings.

You are reminded of this love every time you connect to that deeper part of yourself. That deeper part that truly knows. Truly knows that you are love. It is to embrace those things that bring you to a state of joy and connection. It does not matter what brings you to this state. The life experiences of each individual are what pattern those things that bring a sense of happiness. It is to allow the self to seek out these experiences while allowing those around them to find their own method of happiness. You are all here to learn to be happy and remember that you are love.

Perfectly Acceptable

I find as I get older I feel more comfortable in my skin. Things that used to freak me out just aren’t that big of a deal anymore. It seems that over the years life has a way of shaking off the insecurities and fears that are so prevalent in our youth.

This week’s message speaks about the importance of self-acceptance—at any age—and how it’s a vital part of building healthy, happy relationships. Because how can we truly be tolerant and kind to with those around us when we can’t even do it for ourselves? Today’s the day to introduce yourself to your new BFF…YOU!

With Love.

From Over There:

To be comfortable in the presence of others one must first be comfortable spending time alone with the self. When one accepts and honors the self as a valuable member of the human race, then one opens the mind to accept others, even when dissimilar.

When one accepts and honors those around them as the unique beings that they are, then one will attract into their life others that are accepting of them as well. This builds tranquility of the spirit. This tranquility is available to all who practice self-acceptance and tolerance of the differences of those around them.

Settle Down Now

I don’t know about you, but this past week felt a bit unsettling and chaotic. It really wasn’t my chaos, but rather a lot of change happening with those around me. That being said, when others in your immediate sphere are going through change it can also feel pretty disruptive on a personal level.

Here spirit talks about change and how our ability (or lack there of) to go with the flow affects our lives. Since change is a basic part of who we are and how we function, trying to stop it or fight it is counter to the natural course of things. And yes while we can create change through our own actions, there’s just some stuff that’s out of our control. So don’t sweat the small stuff, and do what you can to build yourself a nice support network for when the inevitable big stuff comes your way.

Just goin’ with the flow and hope your flow is goin’ as well…

With Love.

What can we do to make ourselves feel safe when things are constantly changing and feel unsettled?

It is in understanding that nothing is static. That nothing is ever the same from one moment to the next. Sameness is an illusion. This illusion breeds false comfort. The need for sameness began from time when stability in the acquisition of food and of dwelling space was at the command of environmental conditions. The fear of change is a primal one. It comes from this time when acquiring stability was key to survival.

It is to understand change as a necessary factor in your growth and evolution and to embrace it with fluidity. In doing so you expedite your growth as an individual and uplift humanity as a whole. In doing so you release fear and suffer less anguish, and you allow a greater abundance of your desires to unfold. Fearing change is fruitless as it is inescapable. Embracing change leads to a more fulfilling life.

Love, for It's Own Sake

I’m writing this on Mother’s Day and I know that while it can be a day of celebrating your mother or your own motherhood, it can also stir up emotions for some. This is especially so for those who have experienced the loss of their mother or child, are estranged from their mother or child, or for whatever reason don’t have children. 

Interestingly, this week’s message talks about expressing love without labeling one another (for instance, the label of “mother”) and how expressing love without conforming to what a particular label tells us is appropriate can liberate a relationship. Personally, I’m having a difficult time wrapping my head around thinking of my mother as anything but my mother, but what I can imagine would be liberating is letting go of my expectations of her as my mother. Again, hard to wrap my head around, but I’m trying. What if I just loved her for the human being that she is?

So this week’s homework assignment is to pay attention to how our labels for one another affect our relationships—and how maybe we can broaden our view a bit to see what unfolds…

With Love.

Do not constrain your love within the scope of a label. Share love solely for love’s sake. When one confines their love within a certain parameter it creates expectations and limits that adapt to the confines of the parameter.

Whether the love that is expressed is within a familial dynamic or one that is chosen, it liberates the individuals when the relationship is based on openness, trust, and egalitarian companionship. It is to release the need to fit the relationship into cultural expectation. It is then that true love unfolds.
