Daily Inspiration: January 10. Within The Present Moment, Every Person Is a Gift

Within the eternal present moment, the Love of God forever resides. What the Love of God is, we forever are. Anytime we are being Love in any of its numerous forms, such as being kind, peaceful, joyful, forgiving and compassionate, we are in alignment with the now, with the gift that we are. The present moment, the now, as an energetic expression, is free from the past and future. The now is our true Home. When you look upon others and see them as Love’s creations, seeing their eternal loving essence and nature, then you are truly residing within the now. Every one of God’s creations is a gift from the Divine to you, just as you are a gift from the Divine to them. They are helping you see where your heart and mind reside in each moment. They are helping you understand if you are lost, relying on the ego’s past programming and future imaginings. Choose to see all others as they were created to be, and only as they were created to be, and love, peace and joy, will fill and embrace you within the eternal now. Choose to align with the ego, and define others through its mindset and past programs, and judgment, pain, suffering, confusion, chaos, resentment and regret will result. The choice, thanks to free will, is in the end, always yours to make. In the end, it is only we who can see the present moment as the gift from God that it is, or reject God’s gift, turn away from the light, and see only darkness and despair. Love, kindness, peace, joy, forgiveness and compassion, are all good and useful symbols that show you when you are experiencing the now as it was created for you to enjoy and share. If you lack any of these do not despair, simply learn to use such moments as reminders that it is the ego, not you, who is currently in control of your mind and thinking. With this understanding, begin to take, by aligning with your loving nature, your mind back from the ego, and return to the now.

There is not one person that is placed in front of us by chance. Chance is a false concept, fabricated by the ego, to try to explain what it can’t, God’s all-encompassing love, mercy, wisdom and grace. All people who are sent to us within the eternal present moment are God’s gifts to us. Gifts that we have asked for, unconscious of it as we may be. We have all made a spiritual commitment to each other to meet in order to practice letting go of the programs that hold us captive in the ego’s world. We are in each other’s presence to help each other develop a deeper level of self-awareness, and a higher level of consciousness. Even those that we have been programmed to perceive with anger, their participation in our life is a blessing, not a curse. They have volunteered, unconscious of it as they may be, to help us deal with anger in a more productive, forgiving and loving manner. Understanding this, gratitude not judgment, should be our response to them. For who best to assist us in realizing the unproductive nature of anger, than those we perceive “make us” angry? Remember, you have final say over the thoughts you think, thus no one can ever truly make you feel anything, without your permission. How you see, perceive and react in this world, is not a function of what is happening out there, but of what thoughts and emotions you are using to define the experience. It is always those who can best assist us in extracting the specific poisonous thoughts, emotions and beliefs, that we hold within us, that will come to our aid. They come to us, so we can more clearly see, experience and understand, what is separating us from our natural state, the state of peace. Let us be sure to thank, not judge them, for this.

Today, let us recall, that it is within the present moment where the eternal loving presence of the peace of God forever resides. Forgiveness being an expression of Love, God, helps align us with the now. Today, let us practice forgiving those the ego would have us judge, and by doing so practice being one with the now. Today, when we choose to see others as forgiven instead of judged, we receive the gift they hold for us, the opportunity to practice aligning with the now. The more we get to practice aligning with the now, the more clearly we will see that the now is our true Home. When properly perceived, all others are here to help lift up the veils that separate us from the state of peace, from our true nature and inheritance. It is by forgiving the past, and placing the future fully in God’s hands, that we get to truly align with the experience of the now. It is only within the eternal now, freed from the past programs and future imaginings, where our brothers and sisters are seen and understood as who in truth they are. They are our companions on our journey from forgetfulness to remembrance, from confusion to clarity, and from chaos to peace. They are here to help us travel through the ego’s dark delusional world to our true Home, God’s arms, His Love and Light. The more someone awakens and becomes aware of their light, the more appreciative they become of those who have walked with them along the way. Being all One, the more that the light in you leads you, the less darkness you will see in others. The more one awakens, the more one will be able to understand how others helped him or her heal. This understanding will increase their light, and it will be this brighter light that he or she will have available to share with others. Today, let us practice seeing all others only as God sees them, only as the love that they were created to be.  

Today, practice getting a better understanding of when you are and are not in the present moment. Judgment, anger and resentment are signs of being stuck in the past. Worry, anxiousness and stress are signs of being enticed by the future. Peace, love and joy are signs of being present within the eternal now. Every person you think of and meet helps you better understand where you are within your own heart and mind. Be grateful to them for this. You have free will. You can choose to reside within the past or future, but they are not your true Home. Your true Home is the now, at one with the Love that is your Source. Today, practice forgiving the past, placing the future fully in God’s hands, and thanking all those who have helped you recall that the now is your true Home.
