Divine Love

You come to divine love when you accept that you are doing the best that you can at any moment in time. You feel it when you give yourself the present of acceptance. It shows up when you relish all that surrounds you, whatever form that takes. You are conscious of it when you stop struggling and begin trusting.

Divine love is not something you do. It is present always. It is what you do to yourself that makes you feel separate from it:
You punish yourself in your thoughts.
You think worrisome thoughts of lack and poverty.
You criticize others in your head.
You imagine what others are thinking of you. (This is strictly none of your business!)
You imagine somehow that you have to merit the love of the Almighty.
You imagine that you are not really doing your best.
You imagine that you missed a turn somewhere and actually should be living a completely different life somewhere else.
You imagine that God the Almighty has sent you here to test you and will ultimately find you lacking.
You imagine traps everywhere.
You imagine that wholeness, enlightenment, self-actualization, the full conscious states are something to be attained, to be striven for, to be merited through the action of grace administered by some benevolent God that will decide at some future moment that you are finally worthy.

In Heaven`s Name have you not been told time and time again that you are all part and parcel of the infinite plan?

You are meant to live joyfully and blissfully. You are joy and bliss. Do not allow the various coats of limited self-belief, that you have donned, hide this truth from you one moment longer. We know that it is not easy but it is simple and, with our help, you can undo the knots that stop your flow. Let us help. We do not even ask you to do it. We ask you to ask us for help.
