Any wish

Any wish that stems from the ego is a wish for nothing,and to ask for it is not a request.It is merely a denial in the form of a request.

Any wish? Let me see how I can see this. If I ask for something, clearly that implies that I think I don’t have it. Now, if the Truth is Oneness, if the Truth is that ‘everything I see is the Self’ (Upanishad) than it is impossible for me not to have something. So when I ask for something I must first have denied the Truth of my Oneness. Having denied my True Identity, and substituted the shabby ego ‘personality’ I so deeply treasure, I now have to ask for literally everything or fight for it, or take it from someone else….. not so pretty now, is it? Meister Eckhart says so lovingly: “The prayer of the heart asks for nothing”. Love to One and all, Diederik

What is your intention?

Even your greatest enemy has more points of harmony than of disharmony. And so, as you are wanting to interact with a being that you are not getting along with, with a being that rings your warning bells continually, if you will intend to see that which you approve of, if you intend to see that which you like, then you will literally begin to solicit from that being, those things.

Are you understanding that in every relationship you have -- whenever you are having unpleasant experiences, you are attracting the unpleasant experience because that is where you are giving your attention?

Abraham Hicks


I have been reading a book lately by Abraham Hicks that addresses the power of intention, and I've had a lot of fun playing with the ideas. Following one of the book's suggestions, I have been setting an intention for each hour of my day, and I've been enjoying the results very much.

When I set the intention to experience the love that I am in each moment, I find myself reacting to people and situations in a gentle, accepting way. I am freed to look at events from a more creative perspective, and many new ideas come into my mind. I enjoy the flow of every moment.

When my intention is to move forward from a state of love, I am automatically releasing myself from any belief I might have in the power of fear, depression, anger or sadness. I find that by setting my intention hourly, I can easily re-set my course if I have drifted off purpose.

Your friend with a big intention and a happy heart,

Love,

Dawn

Barriers to love

You may believe that you judge your brothers by the messages they give you, but you have judged them by the message you give to them. Do not attribute your denial of joy to them, or you cannot see the spark in them that would bring joy to you. It is the denial of the spark that brings depression.

This is speaking about how we put up barriers to love. If I am angry with someone and send out an attack, I can't see or accept the possibility of a spark of love or understanding that may come from the other person. This spark of love could bring me joy but if I deny it then I will feel separate, alone and depressed. Forgiveness will help me see my way out of this situation. Love Christie
