12. Day 5: The Earmark Of Divinity
I strongly feel my part in the whole–or is it I feel the depth of the wholeness in my own heart? I have twin feelings of apprehension and glory, worry and contemplation, busy and stillness. How to allow, welcome and cherish my twin nature; divine as human, human as divine? Are they different or just different views of the same thing? Is this what I am learning to experience in feeling? Holy Spirit, please speak to me on how all this relates to Feeling and feelings? Thank you my ever-present, wholly trusted Friend and beloved Guide....

Extending love to feeling and feelings is a departure for me. Sure, I can extend love to thoughts all day long. Even though thoughts in this case are everything I am aware of. See, that’s the thing. I am not really aware of my feelings. I am aware of sadness, happiness, despair and crossness but feeling those things is different. I have trained myself (not very well actually) to ignore my own feelings because I have also trained myself to be acutely aware of other people’s feelings. When my daughter was ill several years...

Holy Friend, Thank you for this time, this morning. Help me hear and abide in that place of quiet where words are not needed for feeling communicates as completely (if not more so). I am able to go within and know your Voice, hear guidance, truth and get clarity. But perhaps there is a deeper place of the abundance that Love is that can only be accessed and inhabited with the thing we call feeling. Help me develop this muscle or become at one with this depth. I don’t even really know what to ask for. I will trust that you will show...

Here are some hard truths I am learning about what I think about feelings. (I notice I am still thinking about them rather than feeling them but I have to start somewhere.) I was a little surprised as I thought I would describe myself as emotional; I cry when certain ads come on, I respond with laughter or tears as is called for, I have been told (by my Mother when I was little) that I wear my feelings on my sleeve. So to look again and see I have a rather low opinion of feelings is a bit startling. The thoughts in no particular order: 1....

“I don’t know what to think about my feelings.” I said “Maybe that’s the problem. Thinking about them instead of feeling them.” she said. I was caught out the other day when I was experiencing nausea, headache and weepiness and discovered it was but a call for attendance and expression by some unacknowledged feelings. It made me wonder what else might be lurking inside, desperate for acknowledgement, welcome and expression. I have centered my practice on the premise that Love IS enough. Love is who I...

I must admit, here at the end of the month of extending love to the fear of success that I have little to report except the obvious. Failure is never final. Success is ALWAYS an option. I know. You already knew that. It’s like saying the Crown Jewels are breathtaking. But why?? Why is success always an option? There are times that failure is death or catastrophic mess or pain, what then? The thing I have learned about success by uncovering my eyes and looking at it is that success is. Success is just like Love is or God is or I...

Yesterday was a day of feeling. Or rather trying to keep down feelings like someone on board a boat tries to keep lunch down while coursing over the heavy chop. The feelings leak out of course as eventually lunch does when seasickness overtakes. It is inconvenient, messy and leaves you feeling drained. Perhaps that is the true purpose of feelings, to drain you of what is not you until all that is left is your true self. I have one friend who I have known since high school, only just now coming to consciousness after four days post an...

Yesterday I wrote about a recent experience with some negative feedback I had received. Getting negative feedback is as helpful as getting positive feedback but it often doesn’t feel like that at first. Sometimes feedback makes you crazy or angry or hurt. Sometimes it makes you want to run, flee or change your name. I needed a list to help me remember when I am stuck in the deafening place of not remembering that love is present so I asked Holy Spirit to show me how feedback (all kinds) is love too. 100 Reasons Why Feedback Is Love...

Here is a new way to notice, receive and welcome all that is happening around you. It is ALL feedback. It is information of one kind or another that lets you know if you are on target. The trick is, you get to set the target or goal. If your goal is to be at peace, finish college, run to the end of the block or reorganize your office everything that happens around you can be considered feedback or a reflection of your intention or lack thereof. If you are feeling peace, joy and love you are ON course; if you are feeling angst, misery and...
read more11. Day 24: All Paths Are Blessed
One of the things that dissuades me from fully inhabiting success is the feeling that I would have to leave something or someone behind and I never like to leave anyone (or anything if my garage is anything to go on) behind. Like the success principle I referred to yesterday about letting go of negative people in your life helps move you toward your own positivity and success. But perhaps there is something else going on. Me: Holy Spirit, please speak to this worry of mine that someone or something will be left out or hurt if success is...
