Concepts to Consider
As we continue to focus on the “Sacred Feminine” this month, let us become aware of the Presence of God as THAT which we feel and experience beyond words, the Holy Voice that speaks to us as intuition and the urge to create. And, in honor of Mother’s Day on Sunday, let us look at the Divine Creative Energy of the Universal Soul, individualized within each of us, as a Loving “Maternal Force” that pushes us onward to perform in life—like a stage mother who knows what her child can do.
If we would behold that which is beautiful, holy, and good in life—the reality of Love in our self and the world around us—we must choose to call upon the All-Embracing, Unconditional Love within us that brings True Innocence to light in our conscious awareness. When we choose to look at it all through the eyes of Love, our creations—our creative thought that proceeds from us to our creations—can be perceived in their True Holiness just beyond judgment. We can, if we want to, choose Love no matter what our past may have looked like, and no matter what we or anyone else may have done. A Course in Miracles reminds us that our only calling here is to devote our self, with active willingness, to the denial of guilt in all its forms.
Without love, our life means nothing, because only Love is real. But, since our creative thought proceeds from us to all that we see, and we see through the eyes of our self-perception, we cannot love anything or anyone until we look at our self through the eyes of love. What thoughts have you been “defending with your life,” like a mother in the animal kingdom that defends her offspring with her life? What beliefs have you been unwilling to change “because they belong to you,” even though they may be making you sick, unhappy, unsuccessful, and filled with judgment, criticism, and self-righteousness?
Meditation: Sit quietly with your eyes closed…breathe slowly, in and out…allowing your thoughts to become still…easing into quietness without effort (allow as much time as you need)…with every breath allow yourself quietly and wordlessly to surrender to the Sacred Heart of God that has known your innocence from the beginning…let Unconditional Love seep into every part of your being…until It fills your heart…and lights up your mind with only Love…enough Love to forgive yourself for your mistakes…enough Love to forgive everyone else for their mistakes…you cannot really give anything but love…to anyone or anything…nor can you really receive anything but love from them…when you want only love…you will see nothing else…continue in this meditation until you see Only Love…
This week: Each day, take time to meditate as above. And, then throughout the day remind yourself of the innocence that is the Reality at the Heart of all Life. And, then remember that no matter what you do each day—if you are successful in doing it, or fail in your effort—the only thing that will matter…because it is the only thing that is real and everlasting…is the love you give and the love you receive.
Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy.
