Guiding Thought

The Divine Presence of Love is the most natural energy in the world and beyond. Through the wisdom of Love, understand Love as True wealth and an expression of your Divine nature; cultivate It in your consciousness; express It! Share It! Your Love is infinite. Your wealth is infinite. Realize this as your reality and circulate wealth with joy and gratitude.

Sharing

What calls to you?
What makes your heart sing?
What is the thing that you wish you could spend all your time on?
What is it that allows you to become lost in it, and in yourself?
What is it that when you are doing it, time disappears and space expands?
What makes you bigger?
What calms you?

What is that certain something (Je ne sais pas!) that is uniquely you? That lives and breathes as you? That yearns to express through you? That only you can give to the world?

I began to know what it was for me, when I was an undergraduate, reading György Lukács and I would practically get high. Other authors had similar affect: Gloria Anzaldua, bell hooks, Herbert Marcuse, Immanuel Kant. Then, in graduate school it was Ernst Cassirer and Nicolas of Cusa, among others. The unifying factor in all of these was that I felt myself expand. Ideas cascaded in my head like a fireworks finale, one explosion after another. I was home.

You know what it is for you already. You may not know what it is. You may not know what to do with it, what form it will take, or how you wear it…yet. But you know. You can feel it; you know what I’m talking about. You know this place.

Take a moment right now, go into your heart and feel it, feel that something.

Does it make you glad or sad or afraid? Are you happy it’s there? Are you sad that you don’t connect with it more often? Or are you afraid that you will never be able to live up to it? I felt all of these at various times, when I was still wondering what “it” was, and how I was supposed to bring it to fruition. So many times I felt unworthy. So many times I felt overwhelmed. But so many more times I felt nurtured and comforted by it.

Meet with it often—just go within and feel it, talk with it, ask it how it wants to live within you, how it wants you to work with it to let it out in harmonious, productive ways.

This is your wealth. This is your beauty. This is YOU. And it’s waiting for you.
