You are the beloved

With what instrument do you measure or come to know yourself?  Are the voices of your tribe your authority?  Your school?  Your country - the laws or the culture of your land?  Do you have any idea, really, who you are?

You are the Beloved.  You are the lovely human face of the most beautiful love in the universe.  You have the most powerful creative power right there in your imagination.  Your thoughts create what you think.  You know this, so why do you think negative thoughts when they only hurt you and degrade all that is?  Why not think beautiful thoughts that would extend out beyond your own personal self into the world and make it more lovely?

Can you realize that, feel that, allow the very idea that you actually have both the power of creation and the passionate experience of that eternal endearment within your very own self?  Is it so hard to believe that you are part of the on-going creation of everything?  But, the importance of that realization is of an absolute dire necessity today.  As we forego that consciousness, that deep awareness of who we really are, we allow the world to continue to spiral out of control by those who are at the mercy of their blind lower natures and unconscious drive to control. 

Why is it so hard for people to feel loved, to feel safe, to trust life?  Why do human beings go to the lowest common denominator and judge others, blame others, think the worst of others, rather than consider more loving reflections?  It's so sad that so many steep their lives in fear and in that contracted state of existence squeeze out the love that is waiting for release into their hearts, their lives, and the world.

What if we simply loved ourselves, treated ourselves as we would like others to treat us and then treat others as we would also like to be treated?  What if all of life were a lovefest, a celebration of all that is beautiful and alive all around us?  What if we slowed down just a little to feel more and think a little less?  What if we gave our brilliant brains a bit of a rest and allowed our senses to experience the sheer delight of life all around us?

What if we all fell in love again with eveything and everyone and allowed ourselves to be loved and allow ourselves to drop our defenses and trust and allow the divine beloved who is within us to smile upon our lives and life itself?  

And, what if we allowed ourselves to dream luscious visionary dreams about what we would really like to see in our lives?  

And, then what if we allowed ourselves to imagine a world without war, without any cruelty full of brilliant creative alternatives to fossil fuel and more beautiful cityscapes?
