"The root stress of the modern world is the simple belief that something is wrong."
~Ishaya monk
"Magic is when we focus the mind on a desired manifestation, giving our shopping list to God and telling Him what we want Him to do for us. Miracles are when we ask God what we can do for Him...The issue underlying our need to tell God what to do is our lack of trust."
From A Return To Love By Marianne Williamson
When the goal [of peace] is achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization; 'I need do nothing.' ...Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or struggle against temptation."
From A Course In Mircacles
"There is no end to the depths and the riches of God, nor is there any end to the gifts God is prepared to shower on those who follow the path of love." (1 Cor. 2:9)
From Putting On The Mind Of Christ By Jim Marion

Help me with my newsletter:
Please respond if...
If you no longer wish to continue receiving this periodic e-mail newsletter please take a moment to click on the "safe unsubscribe" button at the bottom of this newsletter and remove your e-mail address from my list.
In July 2003, five years ago, I built my very first website and eventually started sending out my e-mail newsletter. Over the years, after many Body Mind & Spirit Expos, psychic fairs, workshops, lectures, and private sessions, I have accumulated a very long list of e-mail addresses. Out of the utmost respect for you (and me) I want to do a little spring cleaning with this list by making sure you wish to continue receiving this newsletter.
People I have have not seen or heard from in several years run into me and tell me how much they love reading my newsletters. While others who I am in regular contact with want to unsubscribe simply becasue they don't have the time and are not really into the whole mass e-mailing deal. So whatever your reason for receiving or not receiving my newsletter, it is all good and I appreciate all of your responses. Thank you so very much for your help with my spring cleaning project!
Feedback anyone?
This current newsletter format is what I plan to continue with into the future: One or two articles written by myself, a channeled message from Mother Mary, an update of scheduled events, and my favorite quotes. I appreciate feedback and would love to know if you have any suggestions, requests, etc. Also, if there is a question you would like to ask Mother Mary for a future channeled article or you would like to request that I schedule a particular class, etc. please let me know. Thank you for all your input! |

"When you learn to love hell
you will be in heaven"
Many of you have received an e-mail or two from me with this quote at the bottom as part of my e-mail signature. This quote has been the driving force in my life ever since I first discovered it. Like many of you reading this, my present incarnation has been filled with so much pain and suffering that it has inspired me to take the spiritual path to enlightenment, in an all out effort to find "permanent relief" in union with God so that I do not have to come back and experience more of this wheel of reincarnation.
It is with much relief that I can finally say that I am in heaven because I love hell. And if I had to come back and reincarnate after this lifetime has ended, I would not mind. And looking back in retrospect I realize now that my own God-Self and my spirit guides had very purposefully and methodically created hell, in and all around me, in such a way that I would have no other choice but to learn to love hell. I am so grateful for what hell has taught me that how could I NOT LOVE HELL!?!
It is easy to feel love, gratitude, peace, and joy when things are going your way. In our unconscious society, filled with illusions, we teach and encourage each other to create the life you have always dreamed of in order to find happiness. Books and videos on manifestation techniques are all the rage these days. Frustrated, unfulfilled, unhappy people are buying them like hot cakes, hoping that now they finally have the secret key that unlocks the door to love and happiness. Eventually these same people come back to me and say that there is more to this than what is in these books and videos. They do not take into account a "higher plan" that has authority over the ego's shopping list--(perfect mate, perfect job, perfect house, lots of money, and so on). When you finally surreneder to God you realize that God wants you to be happy and in love "no matter what." That is the greatest gift of all--permanent bliss.
We have placed value on becoming a human doing rather than a human being. We are promising human beings that if they just DO one more thing, jump through one more hoop, they will finally find what they have been looking for. This is an illusion. If you are not happy in hell, if you do not love hell just as much as you love heaven, there is nothing on the physical plane you can "do" or "create" that will take your pain and suffering away and create permanent peace, joy, and love. Eventually God cuts to the chase and takes everything away from you so that you can learn to love hell. God does this out of pure love for you because God wants nothing but perfect inner peace and joy for you. Every "bad" thing that happenes to you is not because you are a "bad" person or because you attract "evil." Bad things happen to good people because God loves you sooooooo much that God wants you to learn to love hell so that you you can finally be in heaven.
A truly "successful" human being is happy no matter what the circumstances are going on in or around them. The real reason why people on a devoted spiritual path have a reputation for living in poverty is not because they are not capable of manifesting a physically abundant life or don't want to on some level. It is because God is teaching God how to unconditionally love everything, including hell, so that when you minister to people who are in hell, your own light of pure, unconditional love and absolute accpetance of all that is, can pierce the veil of illusions with the precision of a laser beam. An enlightened master has mastered the art of bringing light into the darkest places of their own heart and mind, by learning ultimately to love hell. When hell itself no longer causes pain and suffering, the very essence of hell itself no longer exists. The very idea that hell can exist at all has been an illusion all along. |

Love is acceptance of all that is, and all there is is love, pure and simple. There really is nothing else to say, but that would not make for much of an article. So let me expand on this answer which is already so complete.
Let us speak about that which love is not. There is not a special kind of love that is romantic or sexual. There is not a special kind of love between a mother and her child. A father's love is not different than a mother's love or a lover's love. There is no such thing as loving someone but not being in love with them. Love is not afraid to say I love you, because to say I love you is to speak one's highest truth, always. Love cannot contradict itself, and there is no polarity to love. You cannot extend love to someone unless you are love, just as you cannot extend a million dollars to someone unless you have a million dollars to give.
You love because you are love, and it feels good to be what you are. Anything that contradicts this simple truth creates pain and suffering. You are love, thus you are acceptance of all that is, and all that is is love. By accepting all that is, you are accepting yourself, which is love. Resistance to love is ultimately painful becasue you are resisting yourself and all that is. Take the path of least resistance.
When you judge rather than accept, you are not speaking your truth, becasue the truth is that you are love and love accepts all that is. You are one with all that is, and all that is is love. If you believe that it is possible for you or anyone else to be anything but love you are denying yourself of inner peace, joy, and love. Love is peaceful because it accepts all that is as being itself, and love accepts itself. There is nothing but love.
Everything is indeed love; there are no exceptions. Love never destroys, condemns, fears, or finds fault. Everything real is love and love cannot be destroyed. Energy cannot be destroyed. Love is energy and love is everything, therefore nothing real can ever be destroyed. Love knows that only love exists and everything else is an illusion. All you are is love. Love is all there is. |
