Love in the Now Moment

“Every loving thought is true.
Everything else is an appeal for healing and help, regardless of the form it takes.”

~ A Course in Miracles

The secret to being and living always from your natural state of love is quieting the chaos in your mind. Your mind with its incessant chatter, worrying, and general craziness takes your attention out of the present moment so that you cannot feel the Divine Love that you are. When you are fully rooted in the present moment, you are fully rooted in yourself and can feel the love that you are radiating outwards into the world.

We invite you right now to try an experiment.

Take a few moments to get really quiet. Take a few deep breaths in out and out, and then just let yourself be still. After you feel still and centered, open your eyes and look at the world around you as if you had never seen it before. Feel the freshness and newness of being alive, of being a part of the beauty and bliss of existence. As you relax deeply into the present moment, you will naturally feel a deep sense of love emerge for all things. This feeling of love may wear the disguise of peace, contentment, joy, bliss, gratitude, and a myriad of other Source like state. These are all facets of the energy called love.

The Cross and Circle Symbol

I found this interesting, and am curious to see if it might actually might work, so if anyone decides to try it, be sure to post:

"The cross inside of a circle opens up the third eye each time it is used. Touch it with your right pointer finger - the pointer finger is likened to a ratchet.”

– Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

I had never heard anything like this before, and I wondered if it was a Hawaiian Kahuna technique, so I researched the "cross in circle" symbol. This is what I found at Wikipedia:

The sun cross, a cross inside a circle, is one of the oldest and most widespread of symbols. The Neolithic symbol combining cross and circle is the simplest conceivable representation of the union of opposed polarities in the Western world. Crossed circles scratched on stones have been recovered from Paleolithic cave sites in the Pyrenees. At the most famous megalithic site in Scotland, Callanish, crossing avenues of standing stones extend from a circle.

Scratched into stone or painted on pottery, as on that of the Samara culture, the crossed-circle symbol appears in such diverse areas as the Pyrenees in Old Europe, the Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the Iranian plateau, and the cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa in the Indus River valley. In the prehistoric religion of Bronze Age Europe, crosses in circles appear frequently on artifacts and religious items.

The Bronze Age symbol has also been connected with the spoked chariot wheel, which at the time was four-spoked wheel, a technological innovation that reached Europe in the mid 2nd millennium BC, and which in the context of the Sun chariot may also have had a "solar" connotation.

I am...

I am statements are very powerful. I found these in a lengthy and rather dry and complicated article about Ho'oponopono. The list was conceived as a sort of "glossary" of Ho'oponopono terms and I thought it might be interesting to post them and see what you guys think of it.

1. Self Identity: I am Self Identity. I am composed of four elements: Divine Intelligence, Super Conscious Mind, Conscious Mind and Subconscious Mind. My foundation, Void and Infinite, is an exact replication of Divine Intelligence.



2. Divine Intelligence: I am Divine Intelligence. I am the Infinite. I create Self Identities and Inspirations. I transmute memories to void.



3. Super Conscious Mind: I am Super Conscious Mind. I oversee the Conscious and Subconscious Minds. I review and make appropriate changes in the Ho’oponopono petition to Divine Intelligence initiated by the Conscious Mind. I am unaffected by memories replaying in the Subconscious Mind. I am always one with Divine Creator.



4. Conscious Mind: I am Conscious Mind. I have the gift of choice. I can allow incessant memories to dictate experience for the Subconscious Mind and me or I can initiate the release of them through incessant Ho’oponopono. I can petition for directions from Divine Intelligence.



5. Subconscious Mind: I am Subconscious Mind. I am the storehouse for all of the accumulate memories from the beginning of creation. I am the place where experiences are experienced as memories replaying or as Inspirations. I am the place where the body and the world reside as memories replaying and as Inspirations. I am the place where problems live as memories reacting.



6. Void: I am Void. I am the foundation of Self Identity and the Cosmos. I am where Inspirations spring forth from Divine Intelligence, the Infinite. Memories replaying in the Subconscious Mind displace me but not destroy me, precluding the inflow of Inspirations from Divine Intelligence.



7. Infinite: I am Infinite, Divine Intelligence. Inspirations flow like fragile roses from me into the Void of Self Identity, easily displaced by the thorns of memories.



8. Inspiration: I am Inspiration. I am a creation of the Infinite, of Divine Intelligence. I manifest from the Void into the Subconscious Mind. I am experienced as a brand new occurrence.



9. Memory: I am memory. I am a record in the Subconscious Mind of a past experience. When triggered, I replay past experiences.



10. Problem: I am problem. I am a memory replaying a past experience again in the Subconscious Mind.



11. Experience: I am experience. I am the effect of memories replaying or Inspirations in the Subconscious Mind.



12. Operating System: I am the Operating System. I operate Self Identity with Void, Inspiration and Memory.



13. Ho’oponopono: I am Ho’oponopono. I am an ancient Hawaiian problem solving process. I am composed of three elements: repentance, forgiveness and transmutation.



14. Petition: I am a petition initiated by the Conscious Mind to Divine Intelligence to void memories to re-establish Self Identity. I begin in the Conscious Mind.



15. Repentance: I am repentance. I am the beginning of the Ho’oponopono process initiated by the Conscious Mind as a petition to Divine Intelligence to transmute memories to void. With me, the Conscious Mind acknowledges its responsibility for the memories replaying problems in its Subconscious Mind, having created,accepted and accumulated them.



16. Forgiveness: I am Forgiveness. Along with Repentance, I am a petition from the Conscious Mind to Divine Creator to transform memories in the Subconscious Mind to void. Not only is the Conscious Mind sorrowful, it is also asking Divine Intelligence for forgiveness.



17. Transmutation: I am Transmutation. Divine Intelligence uses me to neutralize and to release memories to Void in the Subconscious Mind. I am available for use only by Divine Intelligence.



18. Wealth: I am Wealth. I am Self Identity.

Making Love

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone;
it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. .
