Daily Uplift -- August 31, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am delighting in my world...in the whole of it...and reveling in the sheer joy of its being, in the magnificence of it all. All of it...the bits I like, and the bits I don't...is amazing. The simplicity, and complexity of it all. Pure potential, given shape by belief. Amazing! In this perfect moment, it is easy to remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 29, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am aware of the ways that I have been chasing abundance, pursuing a life of fulfillment, striving to be enough, and I remember that while I chase anything, pursue anything, strive to be anything...I will always be experiencing the wanting of it.

In this perfect moment, I am making time, to observe the ways that I am striving, chasing, pursuing...wanting...and I allow all of it. I allow it all, and own it, love it as my creation. When I do, I remember that I am all that I seek. I remember that I do not have to earn that, which is already true. I remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 28, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am aware of the times, when I have created my world from defensiveness and anger...when I have chosen to understand others' actions and words as hurtful and judgmental...when I have created my life, from conspiracy and suspicion. 

In this perfect moment, I am aware of these creations, and I allow them to be, as they are. No need to change them, fix them, or get rid of th

em. I allow them and love them as my own. I know them as my own, and love them. 

In this perfect moment, I remember that I create my whole world...every bit of it...the things I like, and the things I don't like. It's all me, and when I allow it to be, as it is, I allow me to be, as I am. When I do, I remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

In this perfect moment, I am remembering the power of living from "AND" and "YES". In this perfect moment, I am breathing...and breathing...and simply allowing "AND" and "YES" to flow through my thoughts and feelings. Breathing and being...allowing "YES" and "AND"...and remembering that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

In this perfect moment, I remember that time is a construct. It is my creation. I have as little, or as much as I believe I do. I remember, too, that time is as fluid as I believe it to be. In this perfect moment, I remember and relax. 

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 21, 2012

In this perfect moment, I remember that nothing is my adversary...unless I believe it is. Nothing keeps me from experiencing joy, except my own ideas and feelings, about what I am worthy of, and of what is possible. When I allow "what is", I am allowing myself to experience All That Is. When I relax and "let be", I remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 19, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am aware of my judgments and my jealousies...not as faults or failings...simply aware of them. I am aware of them, and in this awareness, I observe and allow them to be, as they are. I know them as mine, as my creation...as sure as I know my kindnesses and generosities. I know them, and I love them, as they are. In this, is peace and well-being. In this, is freedom and joy. In this, I begin to remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 16, 2012

In this perfect moment, I remember that no one is hurtful, unless they are hurting and/or scared. I remember, too, that I experience only what I expect to experience...that I believe my world into being. If I am experiencing another as hurtful, I can change how I experience them...how I perceive them to be...how I remember them. 

In this perfect moment, I remember all healing is the remembering that we are already whole. I remember that I can choose to take a deep breath, take nothing personally, and answer hurt with understanding. I can choose to remember them as whole, and respond to that truth, within them. 

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

Daily Uplift -- August 14, 2012

In this perfect moment, I remember that I experience conflict and struggle and pain when "what is" is not matching up with "what should be". When I allow "what is" to be as it is, I experience ease and well-being and joy. It's easier to remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

In this perfect moment, I am aware that I rock, and that my whole world rocks...everyone I meet and know and love...every experience (the stuff I like and the stuff I don't like...every feeling and thought...every decision...the whole glorious story, of it all. It all rocks! Woohoo! 

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

"The Promise" -- New spontaneous short fiction! -- 8/9/2012

‎"I've been around," she said. "I've seen some stuff. Stuff, you can't even imagine." There was a pause. Then she started to giggle. This turned into all-out laughter, and she looked at me, still with a light in her eyes. She took a deep breath, and captured me, with that look of hers.

"Really, though...it's all true, John. I have seen so many things, over the last couple thousand years. Things that have never made it into any textbook. Things that others have seen, but have died before they could tell of them. Like I said...I've seen some stuff." She still smiled, but there was just the smallest hint of wistfulness, around the corner of her eyes. 

I was about to say...something...or grab her hand...or something. Before I could, she looked down at the blanket, we had spread, smoothed out her skirt, and reached for my hand. When she brought her head up, I saw another look. She was far away, for just a moment, and then she was up, and lifting me to my feet. 

She whispered, "Dance with me, my love. I love it when we dance." So, we danced, or rather, I danced and she floated. At one point, she put pressed her lips near my ear, and said, "We've done this so many times before, John. So many times. Do you remember? Is this the time, when you remember "us", John?" She was asking me, and she was asking...I don't know. Herself? 

"Did I tell you that I was promised this, my love? That I would only have to be without you, for a short time? That you would suffer this dying and forgetting, for only a short while? I have searched for you, so many times, over the last two thousand years. Two thousand years, John. Do you remember any of it? Do you remember me, from before?"

When we first met, at the University coffee shop, I felt that I had known here. I took this as a kind of cosmic sign, that I should be bold, and ask her out. I took it as a sign that I should forget what I believed, about "love at first sight", and go for it, for once in my life. 

I remember thinking that I had never felt this way, for any woman, ever before. I found it hard to breathe, and the world was hazy. I felt my blood pumping, and thought I might faint. Then she turned her head, to look right at me, and she smiled. Oh god, that smile. I knew it was for me. I knew it. 

I could feel the world spin. I took a deep breath, and another. I felt out of my body, and still she came. I wanted to be near her, and yet, as she became nearer, I felt I might die from whatever was happening to me. By the time, she had reached me, we were in a tunnel. All of my peripheral vision was gone, and I could, quite literally, see only her. 

She seemed to see my distress. (Who knows? Maybe everyone could.) I could see the recognition in her eyes, and then...I will never forget this...she put her hand to my cheek, and said, "Sometimes, like now, I find you, and we can have a life...for a while. Sometimes, I arrive too late, and you've moved on. You have already died, to be born elsewhere. I'm so glad I found you." 

I remember thinking what a strange thing to say, and at the same time, not strange at all. I remember standing there, with her, for a very long time. Both of us, with tears flowing. It was I, who spoke next. I should say that I heard my voice say, "I have always loved you, my love. The search is over. In this life, will I wake and we will be together. Be patient, love. In a moment, I sleep, but for a little more."

I had felt the author, of those words, rising within me, before they were spoken, and now I felt him retire to somewhere deep within. In that moment, she kissed me. She kissed the speaker of those words. I prayed that the two were the same. I had never wanted something to be more true, than that. I had never felt more alive, more at home, more in danger, than that moment. 

I reminded her of that first meeting...my first meeting...and with only a whisper of that voice, asked her to continue being patient. I was waking. I was remembering. Little pieces of memory would float to the surface of my thoughts, and I would run to find her, to tell her of my discovery. I reminded her, and begged her patience, while we still danced. 

At some point, we must have retired to our picnic place. We must have fallen asleep, there, in the park, because we were nudged awake by the end of park ranger's flashlight. When he realized that we were not a couple of teenagers, making out, he relaxed, and his manner shifted from stern to helpful. We packed our things, and she giggled at my embarrassment, as the ranger led us back to our car. 

Leaving everything in the car, we climbed the stairs, stripped down, and fell into bed. Before we both fell asleep, I asked her, "My love, who am I? Who are we? To each other? To the world? Have I read about us, in books? Have they sung songs about you, about me, about us?" She did not reply. She did, as she always does, shut me up, with a kiss, and then we slept.

Daily Uplift -- August 9, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am aware of my fears and worries, about having enough...having enough money, having enough freedom, having opportunities, having a life of inspiration, having a greatness, having enough love. 

In this perfect moment, I am aware of these fears and worries, and I let them be. No need to get rid of them. No need to fix them, or change them. They are here, because I asked them to be. I asked them to be with me, in this perfect moment. I allow them, and love them, as my own. 

In this perfect moment, I am aware of my fears and worries, about having enough. I allow myself to fully feel them, while loving them as perfect and wonderful creations...loving them as my perfect and wonderful creations. In this practice, I begin to remember that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

I Remember...I Give When I Receive!

Today's "Daily Remembering" is born of a full day of meditation (with breaks), after nights of profound dreams. Big, big stuff is remembering itself into my life, and I am remembering so many things, today.

As always, these are written for me. They are a kind of daily LOVE letter...a reminder, and a focus...from ME to me. They are written for me, because I am writing what I know. I invite you, as always, to read them in your own voice, and to feel whether they have resonance, for you.

I have been planning some big stuff...some new developments, to share, in my energetic work...some new price points, for new clients...some fun new ways to connect with all of you...some new deals, to celebrate/remember my renewed sense of abundance...some further living outside of my comfort zone (yep...even further). Tons of new stuff.

Today's meditation was not consciously planned. It was/is consciously appreciated, and I am so grateful for the opportunity, to have a day of introspection and allowing. I truly live in a world of blessing...and sometimes...I remember that I do.

You are a major part of this life of blessing. My greatest joys are easily found in my serving of others...in sharing my gifts, in the service of others' remembering...and in moments interaction (of all kinds) with other folks.

I live for it. I live for my interaction with you, and others. I live for, and love my service of others. It is my breath and drink and air. I realize that I have been very good...genius, even...at giving. It feeds me. I love it. It is a major reason, for this life of Patrick.

Of late, I am increasingly aware of the ways that I may have pushed away help, and pushed away the idea of asking for help. This is such a perfect time, for this kind of awareness, because I am able to be aware of it, without any self-judgment, guilt, or regret. I can be aware of it, and let it be. This is a wonderful experience.

I am simply aware that now is a wonderful time, for asking and accepting, with the same fervor, that I have had for giving. I am aware that I have allowed some practiced ideas, about "receiving as charity", "asking as failure or weakness", "generosity as giving", to subtly inform my choices.

I am aware of all of this, and I am also aware that I can let it be, while I also allow for "receiving as blessing", "asking as allowing for my abundance", and "generosity as receiving". I am choosing to allow my life to be easier...and ain't it easier, when we receive AND give? Very freeing, and totally up to me.

Below, is the "Daily Remembering" for today, August 8, 2012. It is a longer one, and it took a little longer to create. It is also, now, in the short list of my personal favorites...from the last four years.

In this perfect moment, I remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, or failure. I remember that asking for help...really, honestly, courageously, full-on asking for help...means accepting help. It means graciously and gratefully accepting help.

In this perfect moment, I remember that "giving" and "receiving" are simply two perspectives, of the same expression of generosity. I remember that giving is receiving, and that receiving is giving.

In this perfect moment, I choose to accept and receive, with the same the same joy, that I have experienced, in giving. I remember that asking for, and accepting help...in any aspect of my life...simply takes practice, as giving once did.

In this perfect moment, I truly allow my world to show me the generosity, that I have shown the world, and I remember what a blessing, it all is. In this perfect moment, I ask and receive, with gratefulness and joy and excitement.

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

I would really love this to be an opportunity, for connection and sharing. If it is a joy, for you, please share your own feelings, and if/how this resonates with you. Thank you, and with a deep sense of the blessing of you, I say, "I AM LOVE, and know you as LOVE!" Blessings!

Watch What Happens!

In this moment, you are...as you are...perfect and whole. In truth, you are That, in which all is perfect and whole and true. You are That, in which all exists. You are LOVE...perfect being, perfect understanding. Remember yourSelf as LOVE, and watch what happens.

Remember yourSelf as LOVE, and watch what happens. Remember your world as LOVE, and watch what happens. Practice this. It is a practice. It is a choice. Of course, you are LOVE, whether you remember, or not.

It's up to you. I invite you to give it a go, and observe what happens. Could be interesting. I find it interesting and fun. Fun is, for me, one of the best reasons, for experiencing anything, for creating anything.

"Experiencing" and "Creating...are one in the same. Everything you experience is your creation. Everything. In truth, everything you experience is you. Creator and creation are one...the one in the other, and the other in the one.

Remember yourSelf as LOVE, and remember your world as yourSelf. I have a mantra, I love sharing. It is born of a deep sense of the world as LOVE...of mySelf as LOVE...of you as LOVE...of it all as LOVE...of LOVE as all.

It is a very simple little phrase. An easy-to learn mantra, that is also a tool for remembering yourSelf as LOVE, that is also a way of remembering your world as yourSelf, that is also a perfect response to every experience.

This mantra is called the "I AM LOVE" Mantra. You will see why, in a moment (if you do not already know it). I invite you to say it, along with me. Here we go: "I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!" Again, "I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!" Once more, "I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!"

Make some time for this one. It is a wonderful exercise, for remembering. It is a wonderful exercise, for opening your...remembering your...intuition and innate healing abilities. All healing is simply the remembering that you are already (always) whole.

In this moment, you are...as you are...perfect and whole. In truth, you are That, in which all is perfect and whole and true. You are That, in which all exists. You are LOVE...perfect being, perfect understanding. Remember yourSelf as LOVE, and watch what happens.

Daily Uplift -- August 7, 2012

In this perfect moment, I remember that I do not have to be anything for anyone. It is not my responsibility to save anyone...no one needs saving...what a relief, that is. In this perfect moment, I am aware that it IS my joy to help...to remind...to serve people, in their remembering. What a blessing! Hallelujah! 

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!

How Are You Telling Your Story?

Right now is a perfect time...for being still and silent, and for listening to your own narrative, to your background chatter. How are you telling your story? What are you believing into reality?

Observe and listen to the stories, you are telling yourself. Observe and listen...with no judgment, with no guilt...simply allow yourself to really be aware of your stories. There is nothing to fix. Nothing to get rid of. Nothing to change. You are simply being still and silent, and being aware of the ways that you are believing your world into being.

Right now is a perfect time...for being still and silent, and for listening to your own narrative, to your background chatter. How are you telling your story? What are you believing into reality?

Observe and listen to the stories, you are telling yourself, and remember to be easy with yourself. Remember that it is story. Very real. Totally true. Remember that there is an infinite number of stories. Remember that you are That, in which all of these stories live. Remember and relax.

Remember and remember and remember. You are the teller. You are That, in which all stories are true and perfect and whole. Every story as true and perfect and whole as another story. Every story living from...and in...and of...you. Relax and remember...

Right now is a perfect time...for being still and silent, and for listening to your own narrative, to your background chatter. How are you telling your story? What are you believing into reality?

Daily Uplift -- August 2, 2012

In this perfect moment, I am breathing...and breathing...and breathing...and allowing my world to be perfect and whole...as it is. This is a practice. 

This is a conscious decision, to remember the world as it is...no matter what it might be presenting. This is a conscious decision, to remember mySelf as creator of my world, and to love it, as it is. 

In this perfect moment, I begin this practice, by remembering that...

I AM LOVE, and know all as LOVE!
