Love Is.

Love is the great mystery. Love is pure and simple as an infant's smile. Love is vast and unfathomable as the far reaches of the universe. Love is the force that connects us and that breathes life into all things. Love is the silent invisible tidal wave washing through the consciousness of humanity, awakening us to who we are and why we are here. We were love at birth and love is who we are becoming. Love lives in the magnificent house of wisdom and truth. So, love your enemies. Do not condone their actions; simply invite them into the house of truth and wisdom, offering healing to their souls. Embrace and ride the tidal wave of Love.

The Support For You.

It has been decided. You were meant to be here, at this time. Everything has been arranged for the completion of your mission. You will be supported on your way, so long as you adhere to the path. You are loved. We are joyful in our connection with you. We have called many together, and we are holding a celebration on your behalf. We want you to know how we watch you, how important you are to us. We believe in you. We want you to succeed. We are always here, and your awareness of our presence enhances our connection. The more you think of us, and picture us there by your side, the more open the doorway between us, and the more help to you we can be. Our greatest joy is to serve you.

The Angel's Advocate.

In his book entitled Primal Leadership, Daniel Goleman tells of an "angel's advocate." We are all familiar with the "devil's advocate" who pokes holes in whatever new idea is on the table. The "angel's advocate" simply looks for reasons that any new idea presented just might work. Support and encouragement require more courage than fault finding and criticism. Be brave, and support the new ideas you hear from those around you. Be braver still and support your own new ideas. Reach back into that creative mind of yours and bring up those brainstorms that have been brewing for a while. To quote Albert Einstein, "If at first an idea is not absurd, there's no hope for it." Spark the genius inside, and encourage her to speak.

The Winning Argument Is Always Love.

In his best-selling book How to Argue and Win Every Time, well-known attorney Gerry Spence makes the surprising statement that "The winning argument is always love". This statement stretches the mind a bit, particularly coming from a litigator. For one thing, we don't usually think of arguing or winning in connection with love. But if it's true that love is who you really are in your spiritual core, then basing your argument on love is simply being yourself. The statement also speaks to the idea that love is the most powerful force in the Universe. It takes great courage to be loving and to work for a win-win outcome. Be brave, open your heart and take the most compassionate route. It could be the key to realizing your dreams.
