Love
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I
thought love would make a good topic for this week’s newsletter.
What is love?
Regardless of how you define it, it obviously can take many
forms. One of which we celebrate every February 14 -- romantic love.
But today we’re going to expand our definition beyond romance.
My favorite definition of love is one Chief Joseph gave me many
years ago:
"The choice to see the divinity in all beings."
(NOTE: Chief Joseph’s message today is a bit longer than usual
and, to me at least, a bit sterner.)
Here’s Chief Joseph.

As John mentioned, we define love as the choice to see the
divinity in all beings. We emphasize the word
"all." You cannot love only a part of the all and still be
truly loving.
God is all that is, as you’ve heard us and others say many
times over the years. You cannot love only parts of God and hate
other parts. That just doesn’t work. Trying to make it work gets
you into the state your world is in right now.
We know many of you think your world is in one hell of a mess --
literally. But it’s not. What you are witnessing on your planet
today, even amidst all the seeming chaos, is a return to love, to
God, to all that is.
The chaos will pass. The love will grow.
Most importantly of all, however, you are returning to
yourselves, to your true, authentic loving selves.
You, as a humanity, created what seems to be chaos, confusion,
and tragedy. You’re seeing it all through the lens, if you will,
of only your human eyes. When you see it through the lens of love
once again, your spiritual vision will once again be 20/20.
What’s our point here today? Simply this: Learn to love
yourselves unconditionally.
And we don’t want to hear the usual barrage of excuses why you
don’t love yourselves:
"My parents didn’t love me."
"My family and friends mistreated me."
"I was abused as a child."
Etc., etc. ad nauseam.
Those are all old energy. Now is the time for the new energy. Now
is the time for awakening your consciousness to the full awareness
of who you really are.
And who are you?
You are God, each and every one of you!
Fall head-over-heels in love with yourselves. Choose to see the
divinity in yourselves. When you awaken with love to who you are, to
the Gods you are, it will be impossible for you to fail to love all
others, all beings, all that is.
You have a saying, "Charity starts at home." Well,
friends, so too does love. Starting with love for yourselves.
You want to heal your world? Then heal and love yourselves first.
All else will follow easily and effortlessly.
All is well. All is Love. All is God.
