The language of love does not include sarcasm, swear words, put-downs, complaints about other people just for the sake of complaining, complaining about other people so we can bolster our own ego and feel superior, or any other negative quality. When in doubt about your language, ask yourself: Would I speak this way before an angel of power and light? To help you along your way, imagine that such an angel is standing by your side this very moment. You will be imagining what is true.
Dearest Judy,
ReplyDeleteThe language of love--yes,i understand more and more.What you whrote today about reaction is so good.I feel so free ,when i read it,And the whish to go deeper in my soul,in my heart,and than i feel in me,what i have to do or do say.If i stay in reacion to others-i loose my heart and my soul and god.You give me a great protection,to look inside-deeper and deeper.
Thank you so
Eva
Yes, Eva, what you write is accurate: when you stay in reaction to others, you lose your heart, your soul, and god. At least you lose your connection to these. When we unconsciously react with no awareness, we become that reaction. If we react in anger, we are the anger. There is nothing else, no witness, no discernment or discrimination, no connection to something higher. The more angry we become, the more lost we become.
ReplyDeleteSo in our school we learn to step outside of the anger. Even if we cannot stop the anger, at least we can watch it. We can learn from it. We can learn how much anger hurts.
This is true of any reaction. By remembering to observe ourselves and others in reaction, we can learn. The world is indeed our open classroom.
That's a powerful statement...would I speak or act this way in front of an angel?...and an equally powerful idea that angels are always with us...and so they see our thinking, speaking, and acting.
ReplyDeleteAnd so I will use this as a practice...to imagine that an angel is here with me all the time. At least for so long as I can remember to do this. I know how scattered and dominating my thoughts can be...always leading me away from what will lead me to Truth. Still, it is an exercise I will try to employ, especially when I am feeling negative and want to strike out at someone in a negative way.
I can't say I am perfect at not swearing...and I am working on it!
Thanks to this school I am learning what it is to be a decent human being. And yes, I know what you mean Eva...thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I resonate with your words.
