Love As Safety
Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.
It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.
There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,
And that is life as a Spiritual Being, as a Loving Being.
This universe is the glory of God. It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.
It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.
I express the deep knowledge that God is within me, and
We are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
I affirm that we all come from this one source.
I now speak my word for myself and all,
As I align myself with Spiritual Law of Love.
I commit to the unique journey that turns the problems and conflicts that inevitably arise in relationships into opportunities for deeper connection.
I release unnecessary habits of violating other groups, individuals and unwanted parts of my own being.
I leave the fortress of aversive judgment, and enter the unexplored realm of my embodied being and encircling this life with love.
I commit to knowing and revealing myself, and release the need to hide, protect, or defend – or to blame others.
Together, we pull on a thread that promises to unravel all the layers of protection that keep us isolated and disconnected.
I imagine being so undefended that I have no need to pretend, cover up, or arm myself against perceived threats.
I imagine being free to love and express my heart without fear.
I explore a new kind of love, a love that is not burdened by the host of selves that are designed to keep us safe and separate from each other.
I find a way to cut through personal differences with others and reach that direct, unmediated, heart-to-heart connection that can only occur when my heart is undefended.
I choose the transformative path that guides me beyond close, companion-based partnerships toward intimate relationships, where each moment is a fresh, spontaneous expression of who I genuinely am.
Part of my process is to unlearn old learning that no longer serves me.
In order for me to move forward in my life, I make room for new ideas and discard what is no longer a truth for me.
I now embrace ideas that develop my individualization in the Allness of Life.
So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness
For my own self-learning, for safety in love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.
And so it is.
