    Its not what you think, say, or feel but what you actually do thatsimportant- Dr Barbara Ray

    Stop sitting there with your hands folded looking on, doing nothing;get into action, and live this full and glorious life Eileen Caddy

    Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,always ineffectiveness with all acts of initiative and creation, there isone elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas andsplendid plans that the moment one definitely commits oneself, thenProvidence moves too.

    All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise not have occurred a whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in ones favourall manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and materialassistance, which no one could have dreamed would come their way Unknown

    Active living is knowing and doing rather than questioning andwaiting.-.Anon.

    however being outside self we still has the underlying feeling ofincompleteness, fear, lack, unfullfillment, characteristic of Satans

    negative bond of ego

    if in our relationship we experiences both "love" and attack in the form ofemotional violence, we are confusing ego attachment and addictiveclinging with Love

    We cannot Love our partner one moment and attack them the next trueLove has no opposite, if our "love" has an opposite then it is not Love but astrong ego need for a more complete and deeper sense of self which need

    the other person temporarily meets

    As with any addiction we are on a "high" when the drug is available, butinvariably the drug will no longer work when our pain reappears weperceives our partner as the cause of the feelings and we attack , this mayawaken our partners pain and they may counter attack

    Every addiction arises from an unconscious refusal to face and movethrough our own painbecause we use our partner to cover up our pain is why, after the initialeuphoria has passed,there is so much unhappiness and pain in many intimate relationships

    Relationships do not cause pain and unhappiness, they bring out the painand unhappiness that is already in self

    When we release the idea that we are separate from God then all fear willleave us. Fear paralyses us and hides the joy and freedom thats alwaysright in front of us, releasing fear is like opening our eyes to see, the morewe release the more we can see.- Anon

    Fear is the only thing standing between us and our experience of Love,in reality we are only afraid of one thingLove , and because we are intruth the very essence of Love , we are afraid of ourselves.What makes us think we dont deserve Love? if we are tired of playinggames just surrendersuddenly our eyes will open and see howincredible, holy, innocent, and perfect we arelike the prodigal Soul we

    body its felt, let go of the details, dont judge it, watch the feeling,completely detached, then using mind move the sensation to our heartarea imagine a small door , imagine it opening and as it does the energy wehold in our heart comes streaming out as a brilliant beam of white light

    feel it physically, emotionally, passionately, streaming out like water,the less we think of it the more intense it is

    do the same procedure with a fearful thought and as we release thejudgement the energy feels different, still intense, full and passionateneither joyful or negative but invigorating, a feeling of releasing anenormous amount of psychic energy.- Anon

    In all the world there is no one else exactly like me.

    Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alonechose it.

    I own everything about me. my body, my feeling, my mouth, my voice,all my actions whether they be to others or to myself .

    I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears,

    I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakesbecause I own all of me.

    I can become intimately acquainted with me by so doing I can love meand be friendly with me in all my parts.

    I know there are aspects about self that puzzle me, and other aspects that Ido not know but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzlesand or ways to find out more about me.

    However I look and sound, whatever I say and do and whatever I thinkand feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.

    If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out tobe unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting,keep the rest and invent something new for that which I discarded

    I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do - I have the tools to survive, to beclose to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of theworld of people and things outside of me.

    I own me and therefore I can engineer me.

    A loving atmosphere in our home is the foundation for our lives,In disagreements with loved ones, we deal with the present not the past,We dont let a dispute injure lovewe know that not getting what we wantcan sometimes be a wonderful stroke of luck.

    We have forgotten who we are because in our fear of losing love wewithheld that which is our foundationLove is a gift that is freelygivenit is the same for all, our attempts to reserve love for specific

    relationships and withhold it from others blocks our vision of Lovespresencewe can still have relationships that are more involved thanothersinvolvement has nothing to do with Love.

    True Love has no opposite, if ones "Love" has an opposite then it is not Lovebut a strong ego need for a more complete and deeper sense of self,which need the other person temporarily meets

    Love is not judging self, nor judging ones partner

    Love is completely accepting ones partner as isno judgement , no changing them in any way

    Love is a state of being, it is within, it is not without

    Love can never be lost, it cannot leave you it is not dependent on others

    Love is not selective, it does not make one person special, it is not exclusive

    Exclusivity is not the Love of God, but the "love" of ego Unconditional Love is the Love of God

    Loves intensity can vary, one person may reflect ones Love back moreintensely than others, and if that person feels the same there is a LoveRelationship together, the bond is the same as with any person, tree orflower, only the degree of intensity differs

    Know it is important that you are the person you want to be, and notsomeone others think you should be

    Its my life and I choose how I respond, I dont react if I respond, I taketime out, balance myself and choose whatever response I care to take.

    By responding I am much less likely to come from egoverbal reactiononce released will do much damage when we speak we create a life forceand energy we are responsible for everything we release

    Many will initially resist this truth, espoused over eons by Masterteachers ... for it goes against the negative programming of this vale of

    tearsof course, from a literal perspective, if everyone took an eye for an eye itwouldnt be long before all of us would be blind ...but this is not what our teachers meant ...from a spiritual perspective our dilemma is how does a Service to Othersbeing, respond to negative energy expressed by an Service to Self being...

    Service To Others (STO)is love - detachment humility contentment continence

    Service To Self (STS)

    is anger - attachment - ego - greed lustBeing > bodymindSoul complex

    Yes our transitory earthly relationships are very challenging...

    be it personal family work government ...

    for in every moment one has the choice of whether one

    REACTS or RESPONDS to stimuli ...REACT > Falseness ... an eye for an eye an abuse for an abuse >

    thus unaware acts of irresponsibility

    RESPOND > Truth ... a smile - a kindness >

    thus aware acts of responsibility

    Therefore how should one respond to negative forces ... the Godlessness ofSTS beings
