Love: Our Commonality

"Heaven exists in our Heart ... 

with equal grace we can extend it outwardly into our life ... 

eventually, as the universe moves toward its fulfillment, 

Heaven will be everywhere!"  

- "Love Without End"

Hello, my dear friends.  I've missed being with you.  

Today, I was reading the above message and realized that my Heart was overflowing with Love to share and this way of being with you has been the best and easiest way for me to do that.  

In all of the years that I've been involved in spiritual work it has come down to one simple thing, "it's all about love."  Years ago, when I was with Dr. Hew Len learning "Ho-oponopono," his final statement to us was, "it all comes down to loving whatever is present in your life - no matter what it is - that is pure forgiveness."  While with him, he shared that whatever we have been trying to fix or not like about ourselves or anyone else is what we haven't loved.  His method was to say "I Love You" to whatever that might be.

Applying this to my life while being with my family here in Canada, there were some nuances to his formula that have been revealed.  

My tendency when I see that someone is having a challenge in their life situation is to step in and try to say something inspiring to soothe them or give them something to make it easier for them to work through it.  It became very sensitive and would usually bring up resistance which became frustrating for both of us.  Recently, I recalled Dr. Hew Len's secret formula and found myself not trying to do anything at all ... I would be with the situation in myself and hold it in a gentle embrace of Love ... realizing, this that I am (we are), is radiant with Love, naturally.  So simple.  Then, the person I was trying to help calmed down and found their own solution from a clear space of Love.

"Find your commonality - 

your commonality with God,

which is love,

and your commonality with each other,

which is love!"

                                                                - Love Without End

Now, that we both were in a relaxed place, we would then work together to see what is the next best thing to do in the situation.  Even in this I have found asking questions to see what they are feeling to do is better than my making any suggestions.  That way I am honoring what feels true for them in the situation which further builds their confidence and gives expression to this Love that we are.

What a delightful way to enjoy what comes up in living together.  It's as easy as catching a breeze that's blowing and taking it wherever IT takes us ...

Will check in with you later.  

Love being with you,

Elizabeth
