Is this the answer?



"what lies behind us
and what lies before us,
are tiny matters, compared
with what lies within us"
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've been doing a lot of reading and contemplating on life and it's purpose. The search for lasting happiness, how to make life fun and easy and manifesting abundance. Then a couple of nights ago I kept getting the message you see above, in a dream. I woke up and wrote it down. Of course I immediately turned it into a 'magic card' and have been carrying it around with me.

The more I think on it and let it settle into my subconscious, the more it seems to resonate for me. I'm thinking things like; how is it possible to have a healthy body if I don't love it? If I love my body, then shouldn't it be easy to make healthy choices?

And, isn't love the greatest attractor of all? So if love is a great attractor, does it attract abundance? I think so. There's a thought to consider; if we are more loving to everthing and everyone, do we attract more of what we want, whether it be money, people, ideas, fun or love in return?

"my first impression was to pass her by,
until I saw her with another guy"


What is our purpose for being here on this planet? Is it to learn to love? And what exactly is love? I sort of settled on this....love is unconditional caring and kindness. Hey, I didn't bother looking for a definition in the dictionary, because that is is irrevelent to me, what resonates for me or for you, is what is important.

So I've been mentally going around trying to love (unconditional caring and kind) to everything and everyone I met for the last couple of days. This is not as easy as you might think. Someone annoys the heck out of me and I'm mentally trying to conjure up a love feeling. Try stubbing your toe and thinking love for the danged rock! This takes practice and patience.

My results so far have been very favourable, I feel lighter in my spirit and if it's possible I think I've laughed more often. It seems to me that other people are more receptive to me. Don't get me wrong, I believe I am normally a nice guy so I doubt anyone would notice any great change. The difference I think would be very subtle. A few times I had to laugh to myself, like when I was walking behind this big macho brute and I started thinking to myself...I love you. If he could have read my mind, I think he would have probably thrown me into the dumpster.

"love is fun, the other stuff....not so much"

Lots of questions? I guess I'll just have to contemplate on this a little longer. Maybe you have some thoughts, you would share and help me out.

Thanking you in advance....oh, and I love you!

Eduardo

P.S. Wow, that's not easy to say...I love you, must be my male programming, I'll have to work on that.

Are you familiar with "The Course In Miracles"...You sure write like you are. Staying focused on love takes a lot of practice. I started doing it as an experiment about 23 years ago with some amazing results. Now I will tell you this, I have not stayed focused for 23 years. I might have just floated off to who knows where by now if I had. It is one of those things that take a lifetime or three. Try it as an experiment is my advice and have fun with it. Sit back and observe what happens around you...and inside you. Oh,and by the way......I love you too!

Gracie, I am somewhat familiar with 'The Course in Miracles'  I've read excerpts but not the full book.  That is one book I intend to read.  There are a few more miracles I'd like to manifest!P.S.   As my buddy Juan Pedro says to the ladies......I'm feeling the love!
