Love

There are all kinds of love, but the ultimate love is that of God.

I am grateful for Spirit’s unconditional love, unlimited, unrestricted, always present. When I and the humans in my life fall asleep and falter in our loving capacity, I know that I can rely on the Source of all to heal me and wake me up once again.

Attending a gratitude meeting yesterday, I was touched by other’s shares. Hearing others’ expressions of gratitude is always a great mechanism for opening up my heart. It is a way Spirit heals me and wakes me up once again to the love that I truly am. Yesterday was no exception.

Today Rog and I created a love altar based on Vastu Shastra, the sacred Vedic science of architectural alignment that combines all the five elements of nature (earth, water, air, fire, space) to balance and remove obstructions to life-supporting energy in order to receive the support of nature to assist in unfolding one’s full potential. Through this exercise, I felt Spirit at work, opening my heart, waking me up again to that which is my true essence, love.

The Dream

A Course in Miracles talks about this world as an illusion, a dream. So do Eastern traditions as well as other sources. When the individual has awakened from the dream, he/she will know true reality.

Like the alarm clock I use to awaken me in the morning, I set my cell phone alarm to awaken me from my meditative practice. This morning, when it went off, a question appeared in my consciousness: Is this the way it’s going to be when I awaken from the dream, i.e., an alarm will sound, and – poof! – I’ll be fully awaken, and Home with God in the Real World?

No, I don’t think that’s the way it works. For me, awakening has been a gradual process although there’ve been some big “Ah-ha’s” along the path.

I look forward to when I arrive Home a fully conscious being. Until then, I’ll put one foot in front of the other, be open to God’s guidance, and seek to realize all the God-like potential that resides inside me.
