5. Day 5: What’s Love Got To Do With War?
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the day Britain’s involvement in World War I began. From this distance we are able to comment, commemorate, honor and remember all that each one experienced during that war. I spoke yesterday of feeling somewhat overwhelmed at what felt like “once in a lifetime” experiences. The Great War, WWI, was thought to be a once in a lifetime experience. Yet this was not so. We continue again and again to come to the brink in conflict as we wade through our consciousness into the light. It is our collective fear of EVERY DAY that keeps us...

Today is the last day of extending love to guilt for this month three of my Twelvemonth of Self Love project. What is exceedingly obvious now is that guilt is not the truth about me. It is but a story of “not-me” I believe for a while until I return to my right mind, or sanity or the awareness of God-is-Love’s Presence. I have learned I can drop the veil of guilt at any time and experience the truth of me in that moment by extending love to my thoughts and feelings even with, perhaps especially with, guilt. I can do this in bed, at the airport, washing dishes, taking a...

Yesterday we talked about what guilt felt like. I want to know now, how to greet this fear in love? Where do I even start? HS: As always dear One, start where you are. Extend a quality or flavor of love to your body, your feelings, the moment. Notice if your feelings or thoughts can be clarified or do they remain wordless or nebulous. All this really does is give you time, awareness and willingness with your Self. This Self is you; your heart, will and desire. You have concocted quite a story of not-self and somewhere along the live you have believed this story. Now it is time for the...

Am I the only one who is feeling the enormity of extending love to guilt? Where do I begin? how do I proceed? HS: Dearest One, Guilt is not nearly as complicated as you believe. Guilt is a long term, ancient bank account of should. You have been making deposits into this account from before your birth. Guilt firmly believes something should not happen or be: a crime, a thought, an omission, a presence, an amount, an event, a person, a race, a position. Both should NOT or should declare “This cannot be.” The truth is, it isn’t. All the terrible things you have done...

Holy Spirit, yesterday felt like a car crash: the speed of business meets the intensity of desire for close family time. In this moment I am bloody annoyed; at commitment, at life, at myself. This thought just in from a brief sojourn in the bathroom (isn’t it always the way): I feel like something is being asked of me that I don’t want to do/give/be. What do I think is expected of me? I feel that it is expected that I be happy, bouncy, cheerful caring……. all the time. HS: Where are you right now? Me: In the living room with tea, water and journal. I am completely comfortable, nothing...
