Love is who\u00a0we are.<\/strong>\u00a0 I grew up thinking that love was something you give and receive, and that led me to compromise myself in order to receive love and in order to give love to others, thus perpetuating some very dysfunctional relationships.\u00a0 Now that I know love is my\u00a0state of true being I\u00a0am learning to\u00a0fulfill my desire to love everyone and be loved in healthy ways.\u00a0 This feels much better, and safer!<\/p>\n

As we ascend we are coming into unity with our eternal and unconditionally loving true self and it is from this aspect that we love in the healthiest ways.\u00a0 In order for this to occur, we have to be willing to receive that perfect love into our human self on all levels – emotional, mental, spiritual, physical, social, professional…every part of our experience.\u00a0 This is where people can get hung up.\u00a0 Deep down many (perhaps most)\u00a0of us have decided that we are unworthy of love for some reason – or for myriad reasons.\u00a0 None of\u00a0those reasons\u00a0matter.\u00a0 Who we are is love and receiving that love into our human self is the solution to all of our problems.\u00a0 It is the doorway into the new world, and sooner or later we have to open it and step through!<\/p>\n

Think of the receiving of unconditional love as an exchange of an old identity for a new identity – like taking off the Halloween costume (scary, powerful, cute or ridiculous)\u00a0of your old world self and discovering that who\u00a0you are is someone completely new and different.\u00a0 You may have liked that old sense of self, and certainly it has had many good characteristics, however, it isn’t who you are.\u00a0 Even if you are pretty mature and enlightened, who you truly are is likely to be much more than you ever conceived of.<\/p>\n

So life send influences to make us surrender what we have identified with in the past.\u00a0 If we are not taking off that old world costume it will be torn to tatters and\u00a0we will finally give it up as worthless!\u00a0 I recommend not waiting that long!\u00a0 Welcome your unconditionally loving self in now and learn gradually to identify with it and willingly release the old identity.<\/p>\n

This is one of those spiritual processes which no one can teach you really, you just have to do it.\u00a0 The way that I tend to work with this is that whenever I find myself experiencing qualities and reactions within myself which are obviously old world – for example feeling fearful, hopeless, discouraged, hateful\u00a0or whatever\u00a0– I recognize it as an opportunity to remove a piece of the old world costume and receive unconditional love of my true self more fully.\u00a0 This is a beautiful experience because just choosing to respond to the negative states by welcoming unconditional love of my Higher Self into them brings me into the new world.\u00a0 It bypasses self-judgment, self-justification or blame and takes me straight to compassion, acceptance and leads me into healing and self-love.<\/p>\n

With this approach any negative action or reaction in the world around me becomes an opportunity to grow more unconditionally loving.\u00a0 Below are some tools to help with this process.\u00a0\u00a0They have been taught in previous blogs as well, so they may be familiar to you.\u00a0 They are mix and match.<\/p>\n
