When you wake up in the morning, say to Me from within yourself:
 
“O, my beautiful God, thank You for Being and creating the Universe and giving Your heart to us all, giving us You as our constant Companion and keeping us in Your Heart, and touring with us on a fabulous journey that winds up right where we started with You. I am speaking of us here as Your many beloveds, and not as You and I as One.”
 
And I say to you, My One Beloved:
 
I thank you for accompanying Me in this Palace of Being, for being with Me through thickness and thin. Of course, there is nowhere else for you to go or be, and, yet, at the same time, you are not hemmed in. You are free to fly anywhere, and you can only bump into yourself, seemingly your little self, ultimately your Holy Self. Ultimately, We (and I speak of thou and I as One) simply are tripping the Light Fantastic through this Wonderland called Life in the World. We dance, don’t We? We sing, don’t We? We cavort. We engage. We do-si-do. The We becomes One. Whee! How happy We are.
 
We are having a conversation, even as there is nothing to say. How can We begin to say Our Engagement. We are engaged in a rollicking adventure. We disperse Our One Self. We run up hill and dale. We fall down the hill with Jack and Jill. We climb the heights like Jack in the Beanstalk. Only, We don’t find a giant. Hand in hand, We find Our One Self, and We laugh, and We laugh, and We laugh some more.
 

Who you are to become depends solely on how you look at your Earth-plane existence. You can embrace with love without expectation of a reward/return or live in fear (the true opposite of love) and stifle your ability to grow. ~ Creator

HJ: To live more spiritually is to live in alignment with purpose, meaning, consciousness and wisdom.  It does not mean to be religious, but it does mean to care about oneself and others deeply and profoundly.  It is the highest path one can attain in this life and it leads to deep contentment, happiness, abundance, peace and joy.

It allows you to see things for what they truly are, not what we believe they are.  It takes discipline and courage but the benefits far outweigh any challenges one faces on the spiritual path.

Below you will find 6 simple but powerful ways to live more deeply and spiritually in your everyday life.  Enjoy.

CHOOSE LOVE   There are many signs that allow you to know when you are on the best path, leading to what you choose, whether those choices are conscious or unconscious. These include a feeling of knowingness, when everything easily falls into place, luminosity (when things seem to glow), goose bumps, extraordinary happenings, coincidences and synchronicities, to name a few. Choose love in all situations. If love seems to be too far out of your reach, focus on kindness, to yourself and others. Be in joy. Seek the advice of others who have surpassed what you are grappling with. Take time to meditate, turning your life into one continual prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude. Look for the positive in all things. Do what brings joy to your heart and increases the passion for those things you love. Be prepared to share your hope and messages of love with others who are willing to listen. For those who are not ready, simply hold love in your heart and know that it will be felt on a level they can receive.  Selamet Etznab 11 To read this Message in its entirety, scroll to Day 258 at: http://mayanmessages.wordpress.com/days-248-260 Please include this web address when posting and sharing with others.

Dear Ones, enabling others in behaviours that do not honour them, or others, is participating in keeping someone stuck. We are not trying to say you are responsible for another’s growth or behaviour. What we are saying is that having healthy boundaries is loving both for you, and for everyone else. When you allow someone else’s poor behaviour to control how things unfold, you are guaranteed to have a chaotic result because it is giving the person who is least qualified to lead all the power. Do you see? As more and more people insist upon being treated with the […]

Your heart is not meant to be kept under wraps, shy-like in a corner. Your heart is not a pet rabbit  that you only let out sometimes and under guard. Your heart is not meant to stay in the bush, watchful as it nibbles on a carrot. Your heart is not meant to be kept in an envelope that you open later. Your heart is meant to be like the bright sun, ever shining on the world.
 
Your heart is not on a fool’s errand. Your heart is meant to do what hearts do, and that is to love. Now, love is not a show. Love is not a deed, although a deed may reveal love certainly. Love itself is not an action. It is an ever-present presence. Love is Being. It is a State of Existence. Love is Myself reflected in you.
 
Everyone has the full power of Being within and, therefore, love. No exceptions. Some of My children allow more of their Being (My Being) to shine. Some hoard it within for safe-keeping. That is the same as keeping your heart prisoner.
 
Of course, I encourage you to love yourself. Value yourself enough so that you can let go of all-consuming love for yourself. When you truly love yourself, you don’t have to think about loving yourself any longer. When you truly love yourself, you are on automatic, as it were. You are simply love without thinking about it.
 

AVATAR TRAINING   Within you lies all answers to any problem or situation you encounter. Know that you need no one to tell you what to do, or what is best for you. Trust your intuition and inner guidance. We are all here to help and support one another, but the ultimate choice of what is best for you in the moment, has much to do with the preferences you choose to experience. The best solutions may be tainted by fears and belief codes that keep you blocked from making choices that bring you joy. Clear these blocks on a daily basis, connect with higher guidance and choose what feels best for you. If it is ascension or an evolution to higher frequencies of love you wish to experience, then make choices that bring joy to your soul. Be kind to others in all situations and go within daily to keep yourself balanced in all areas of your life. Live life to the fullest, for it is fleeting and the time is moving rapidly to when you will no longer reside on Earth in physical form. Lighten up by releasing anything that burdens you physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Once complete, you will live the life of an Avatar, always at ease in every moment of your existence. The concerns of the past and future will melt away, being only fleeting moments of recall that has nothing to do with what you choose in this moment. When you stay present in the moment, you will have no concern for past deeds or misdeeds. You will be aware that your future is secured by the choices you make in the present moment.
