Trusting in Love - Part 2

A friend asked me the following question that I believe is worth sharing, in case others find it useful.

When you first started to let Love take care of the physical body, letting Love take control, how long did it take to know that you did not need to 'feel' tired. I am finding that this works for me for a short time and then as soon as I 'forget' I revert back to the old routine and "whammo" I'm feeling tired again.

First of all please note that what I'm about to share is how I see things. It doesn't mean it is the Way but it is a way of seeing that works for me, which you may or may not resonate with.

Before I answer your question, here's a bit of background about my way of seeing. I believe there is only one place and it is Spirit, Love, Mind, Soul, God, Consciousness...whatever you like to call it. Though Love may appear to be physical it is not really physical, things just appear to be solid because of one's perception. In reality there is only one Love appearing in infinite ways. Just like water can take the form of solid, liquid and gas, Love can appear as physical, emotions, thoughts, or feelings. It doesn't mean these different appearances are separate, they are all one, though for whatever reason we can choose to see them as separate.

There was a time when I couldn't tell the difference between a work of art in someone's imagination and people as we see them. I would go to an art gallery and all these pictures will come to life around me. I decided to "tune out" of the "mental" realm and only tune in when I feel it's necessary. Just because I consciously made the decision to "tune out" doesn't mean the characters in the paintings went away. They are right here and now and as real and solid as I am real and appear to be solid, I just choose not to "see" them.

To recap, there is only the one ocean of Love whether they are making waves as solids, thoughts or feelings. It doesn't matter what the experience is, it is never separate from the ocean of Love. In practical terms, this means that everything I do is done by the ocean of Love.

Back to your question:

When you first started to let Love take care of the physical body, letting Love take control, how long did it take to know that you did not need to 'feel' tired.

It is really about constantly remembering that my identity is the ocean of Love not the waves coming out of the ocean. The moment I identify myself as "only human", I end up dreaming myself as a separate entity with only a limited amount of energy that has to be sustained through sleep, eating, exercises and other dream methods.

While I am dreaming myself as "only human" I appear to have two selves: the self that goes through trials and tribulations, and cycles of birth and death; and the real self that is perfect love and untouched by any drama. The real self that is all wise teaches the human self. Some people dream the real self as someone else that is awake who comes to teach him how to awake from the dream.

While I'm dreaming I need to be sustained or taught, the truth of Reality remains unchanged: I am still Infinite Love. Love is all there is.

I practise the following five principles.

First, I constantly remember that my real identity is the Infinite Self, Spirit, Love, Mind, Peace, Joy etc. In other words, I am not human, nor am I Love having a human experience; I am Love living as and in Love. All is Love.

Second, I act in accordance with my identity.

So let's take your example of being tired. I would simply know myself as Love. I may appear to be physical but I'm Love now and for always. I then have to trust and let Love be. I let Love move and work as me in Its own way, effortlessly.

For instance, when I'm writing a piece, I'm writing as Infinite Love and it is effortless. If I feel an article is not working out, I leave it in draft and get centred. When I'm back in my "right mind" the article writes itself.

Third, I am very gentle with myself.

If I feel tired I don't beat myself up about it. As soon as I remember or another aspect of Love reminds me of my identity, I'm back on track.

Fourth, I always remember that there is no place but here now.

There is no destination, nowhere to go to but here now. There are no evolved souls. There is only Soul. Life is a never-ending opportunity to experience who I am as Love, who we all are as Love. Obviously, some of us have made connections with people to experience life with. Some of us have even paired up to do so. I know I have.

Finally, I practise being in silence. In silence I am one with the All.

So my dear friend, letting Love be me is a habit I've cultivated and continue to cultivate. If you resonate with my way of seeing, then keep identifying yourself as Love and trusting in Love that is everywhere present to be you. Be gentle with yourself. Love is constantly reminding you of your true nature.

Always remember that you are loved and supported in all ways.

All my love.
