I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The 103 quote today comes from the Introduction and the section on self-worth and living The Choice in working with yourself:
Self-worth (living The Choice in working with yourself)
In the orange-ray chakra we have our first opportunity to accept ourselves for having a variety of eccentricities which we express when we are in relation to people one person at a time. By the time we get to the indigo-ray chakra we are faced with accepting ourselves as beings of great worth—as the Creator. When it comes to making The Choice, we need to have the lower three chakras open and clear so the love/light of the Logos can flow through, and we can make that Choice consciously. However, this Choice is one which is most effective when we can, as Jesus recommended, love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Unless we truly love and accept ourselves it will be very difficult to truly love an other self. Laitos speaks to this point:
I am Laitos, and we might comment by suggesting the perception which you have shared is in its own way relatively accurate, although there is another way of perceiving the lack of love for self which we would suggest at this time as a method, or portion of a method, for finding greater and greater love for, and by so loving the self becoming more and more able to love other selves about one which reflect to one the nature of self. And that perception is that the lack of love for self may be seen as a means of preparing the self for greater service. As one becomes aware of the lack of love and acceptance of the self, and turns to work upon that quality, one begins to build a stronger framework of the heart of self, and through the strengthening of the core perceptions of and feelings for the self, so is laid a firmer foundation for services that may then be offered to others.
Thus, one may see various imitations, obstacles and blockages not just as hindrances to one’s progress, but means by which one’s progress may be accelerated, for these areas are what you may call the food for growth, the catalyst, which, when processed, will allow the constant transformation of the inner being and its radiance into the entity and those about it.
Thus, a concentrated effort at working upon one’s perception of self can allow one not only to achieve the broader point of view of the self by the self, but also allow one to then move the point of viewing further into the environment about one, and, indeed, to the smallest portion of the daily round of activities, until the creation about one begins to take on the feel and appearance of that which is sacred, unified and full of joy and perfect motion. Laitos, February 24, 1987.
As I mentioned in 102, many who seek to be of service to others have personal lessons that involve being able to love the self. When we are eventually able to love our selves, then our Choice as Players becomes far more effective because we know more fully what love really is: forgiveness and acceptance of our selves. When we give that gift to ourselves, then it is available for us to give to others as well. It makes me wonder if all of the anger and separation that we see in the world around us today might be that many people do not love themselves, so they reflect that lack of love in easily getting angry with other selves. That was basically the message that Peace Pilgrim had on her spiritual journey that she shared with others while walking across the United States five times: there can only be world peace when people have found inner peace within themselves. This is what Peace Pilgrim had to say about inner peace and its effect on world peace:
There is within the hearts of people deep desire for peace on earth, and they would speak for peace if they were not bound by apathy, by ignorance, by fear. It is the job of the peacemakers to inspire them from their apathy, to dispel their ignorance with truth, to allay their fear with faith that God’s laws work—and work for good.
Knowing that all things contrary to God’s laws are transient, let us avoid despair and radiate hope for a warless world. Peace is possible, for thoughts have tremendous power.
A few really dedicated people can offset the ill effects of masses of out-of-harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter. We must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can; we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and to know that peace is possible. What we dwell upon we help to bring into manifestation. One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history. Peace Pilgrim, page, 99.
This afternoon I decided to clean the filter for the fountain in the fish pond because the fountain was getting lower and I thought it might be well to do that now before the frigid weather gets here later this week and the pond would be all ice. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the few leaves behind the house into the leave the leaves area in the southwest corner of the yard and then do the same behind the garage by blowing any remaining leaves into the leave the leaves section in the northwest corner of the yard.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 19
Open To The Spirit
I am of the principle of unconditional love and I greet you in the name and the peace of Jesus Christ.
“Without Me you can do nothing.” You have heard these words many times. They are not words to be taken literally. Think of the sentence, “Without love one can do nothing,” and realize that you are here at this blessed time of darkness, pregnant with your soul just as the earth, so bleak and bare seemingly, is pregnant within with all the blossoms and fruits of the harvest to come.
Whatever your spirit is, this is the time for its renewal. This is the time for its swaddling, its nurturing, the keeping of it quietly, confidently and with no need for outer expression.
Allow this young, new sense of self to be open to the Spirit which you call Holy, that you may be renewed and that the face of the earth may, one person at a time, be changed.
We leave you in the peace of this pregnancy of self. Cherish yourself. Cherish your spirit and rest in peace and love, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
