Guiding Thought
Our own Loving Presence is our Self. We turn our attention inward and become aware of our own Loving Presence. With focused awareness, our own Loving Presence fills us, grows brighter, and grows warmer. We claim our Self with these words:
I AM my own Loving Presence. I AM One with the Loving Presence of the Self of All. I love my Self!
We want to give our Self everything It desires – and our Self wants the same for us. What do we desire, but total Peace, Freedom, Love, and Harmony? These are the infinite and eternal qualities of our Self. We are now aware of the inner activity of our own Loving Presence and we invite It to express Itself through us and externalize in our lives to circumstances, people, forms, and events that fulfill our desires.
The Guiding Thoughts audio for this Journey may be found here…but I have lagged behind, and do not have today up. I will get this round up and posted tomorrow. I apologize for any inconvenience. We are all practicing “adaptation” these days, yes?
Reflections
Steve (Meet Steve here.)
I am loving awareness is a mantra used by Ram Dass. We all have this loving awareness. We all have Loving Presence. Through our focused awareness, we become aware of our True Selves. In this Loving Presence, we are all one.
I am you, you are me, and we are we.
By loving my Self, I am able to love all others, for they too have this Loving Presence within them. It is a light within all of us. Ultimately, we all want the same things – Peace, harmony, Love.
Guardian angels watch over us. They are expressions of the Divine Love that exists within us all, to remind us that we are loved, and to love ourselves. In this way, when we love our Self, we can also love all others.
Peace be with us.

Today definitely requires some explanation. This whole virus thing is very serious. People are panicking, getting stressed out, worrying, and not quite knowing what to do with themselves. A bit ago, I was on FaceBook, and there was a game about “your astrological name” or something like that… a friend of mine got “Rainbow Mermaid of Justice”. Yes. This is my drawing of a Rainbow Mermaid of Justice. Our Self wants Divine Peace, Harmony, Balance. It want for Natural, Divine Order to preside. Well. How would a Rainbow Mermaid of Justice restore Peace, Harmony, Balance and Natural Divine Order? She would vomit enough sea water on everything that is polluting Her world (2/3 of the earth is ocean, remember), to drown it all away. And Nature would smile, breathe, and LIVE.
If you are curious here’s my writing from The very first Journey of Purpose, six years ago Day 22.
Public Service Message:
South Korea contained COVID-19 through individuals taking the responsibility to do just two things:
- Implement Social Distancing: Stay away from others (in public, especially) by 4-6 feet; covering the mouth when coughing/sneezing (this means get out your handkerchiefs!).
- Maintain high personal hygiene. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.
The United States has not yet, collectively, had a unified response to this World Health Organization-defined pandemic. The United States is still in the growth stage of the virus, with no containment plan. Individually, we must be aware, and take responsible steps.
The two above steps are simple, easy, and do not infringe upon our individual freedoms or rights. The two above steps simply show we recognize others, and are considerate of them and their well-being. We will soon see that our individual actions really do affect others and “the whole”. We are each responsible for each other. If everyone in the US implements the two above steps, the United States will see the virus contained without a government response.
