Everyday Knowing Reminders - Sunday Message January 17, 2010

Welcome to Everyday Knowing Reminders, a Sunday Message. Why a Sunday Message? Everyday Life Paths believes that deep within, all answers are available. However, sometimes it is helpful to have reminders to open our hearts and minds to a new sense of awareness within ourselves. Thus, the Sunday Messages are simply reminders upon which to meditate in order to find one’s own answers. Topics will be presented to offer my metaphysical perceptions of life. If you have a topic you would like me to address, please email requests to info@everydaylifepaths.com. It is my intention that you feel uplifted, loved and a part of a wonderful community – an Everyday community.

In Peace,

Rev. Rosanne

Compassionate Love

With the earthquake in Haiti this week, it seems appropriate to take a break from the message of renewal for the Everyday Knowing Reminder and look at Compassionate Love.

Let us take a moment to turn our attention to the Ever-Presence within each of us…

We turn inward to the center of our being. We feel the essence within us and know the same essence is in all others. Through this connection we send out Loving energy within our life and the life of all others. Our cells vibrate with energy and Light as we breathe in the very breath of Life. As we breathe out we exhale all this is not of Light and inhale all that is Love. We stay focused on the Ever-Presence and stay within the flow of Life. We know that events in life are not our focus but how we respond to them. We respond with Compassionate Love. When another is impacted, we move and take action as we feel compelled to do so. We listen to our inner voice, the voice of knowing. We move from a place of judgment to a place of Compassionate Love. Through Compassionate Love we participate in raising our consciousness as well as those around us and beyond us. For this we are grateful. With this, we let it be so… and So It Is!!

While we may try to find the “why” in unforeseen circumstances, this only sends our energy into a spiral of unending questions. When we come from a place of compassion, solutions arise and we come to a state of gratitude.

As we become aware of what is happening in Haiti, we send only Love. As we hear of another life lost, we send Love. As we see the sadness in a mother’s eye, we send Love. For Love is all there really is. If someone is to transition within this space, we would prefer to have them receive Love and Peace than to die receiving fear and pity. In being compassionate, by sending Love to the situation and people, we contribute to the collective consciousness.

We also can give our time, money or talent in a way which we believe will benefit the situation. No matter how we choose to contribute it is important that we stay focused on the One Life within everyone. Things happen in all our lives. Metaphysics is not about denying what is happening in our life, it is The Convergence of Life and Spiritual Practice. Do we allow thoughts of worry and fear to overtake us? No. Compassionate Love is understanding what another’s situation might be, yet keeping centered on the Ever-Presence. It is being aware of the hardships of another, yet being grateful for where we are. For if we are lost in another’s life event, we add to the suffering consciousness. If we can surround a fellow brother or sister in loving consciousness, we raise our own thoughts and thus humanity’s consciousness as well.

While many in Haiti are waiting to be rescued or as others make their transition, we stay in a place of Love. While we may be many miles away, in a moment of consciousness we can send Compassionate Love that will envelop them in the Ever-Presence. As comfort is received through the Ever-Presence, we can make a difference. May we all go forth today with Compassionate Love in our hearts that radiates out to the world.
