Guiding Thought

In Perfect Love there is no lack, only complete abundance. Perfect Love is Perfect Fulfillment. When I am aware of my Oneness with Perfect Love, I have everything; I am everything. With a mind fully aware of its own Fullness in Perfect Love, I have perfect faith in my creations, as they are of the same mind as Perfect Love.

Reflection

Checking in: I have been doing very intense practices since the beginning of this Journey to release my ego, and increase my dedication, devotion, and commitment to God. SO much stuff has been coming up. I have felt: lost/in an identity crisis/angry/cranky/irritable/belligerent/stubborn/indignant/righteous… whiny/wanting my own way/wanting childhood pleasure-foods and simple childhood pleasures (like going to a petting zoo)… and this is just the past 24 hours.

Mind you, I have not been acting out…much, but I feel it, and can watch myself wanting to act out. Tam did take me out on a spree today, to satisfy my inner child with fun, beautiful colors and things, yummy food, and comforting deserts. I feel better now.

The point is: remember that when you do these Journeys, when you make a commitment, and give the dedication, you are inviting a new frame of mind which brings with it new experiences. If “you” are not ready for those new experiences, then you are also asking to become ready for them, which can mean getting rid of stuff that no longer serves the new vision you have for yourself. Be prepared for some stuff to come up. Recognize it. Observe it. Love it. Release it. If you aren’t sure how to do that for yourself, talk to your local healer, shaman, guru, spiritual teacher, or wise friend. You’re also welcome to take a look at my page on spiritual practices, or contact me.

So many people today are driven to “create” because they need or want something. What do I need? What can I get that is better than what I have? A new car? A new job? A new relationship? A trip to Hawaii? I can have anything I want, and all I have to do is magnetize it to myself! Viola.

I admit, I have gone through this myself, but it never quite felt right. Here’s why: If I believe that I was created by Love, with Love, for Love, then I am already fully Love, loved, and lovable. If I believe that I am  already fully Love, then I must also believe that I already have everything. Anything that I think or do which indicates that I need anything other than what I already have contradicts what I say I believe.

So I have to monitor very carefully that I choose thoughts and actions that support what I say I believe, rather than denying that I already am and have everything I could possibly want. This is not easy, but I have been practicing it a long time.

Today’s Guiding Thought is not about magnetizing or attracting anything.

It is about confirmation:

• I am One with Perfect Love.
• Perfect Love is Perfect Abundance (that is, abundance of all things, including Peace, Harmony, a beautiful, healthy body, all the material things I need to support the life of this body, etc)
• In Perfect Love’s Perfect Abundance, I need not; I want not; I AM.
• Only in this place of Knowing my own Perfect Fulfillment, can I create a continued Perfect Fulfillment. (If I create from the perspective of my mind; if my perspective is  of lack or limitation, I will create lack or limitation).
