Life is to enjoy, but that is not to say that life is for your amusement. Oh, yes, sometimes life is amusing. Yet, often in amusement, you are sitting back at a distance, perhaps feeling superior to what is going on, perhaps a little cynical, perhaps laughing at another’s predicament.
Have joy always, and yet at no one’s expense. Will you do that for Me? Better even to cry with someone than to feel superior. Watch out for feeling superior or wiser or smarter or more blessed. Know that everyone is blessed, and what you see on the surface is not all there is to the story.
You are indeed blessed, yet you are to feel pity for no one. Pity says that you are out of the fray and in a higher position. Be glad for all you have and are, and do not dismiss anyone else as higher or lower than you. Even what you see as miserable may not be misery at all. You already know that what you may see as happiness may not be happiness at all. All appearances may be misleading.
We can say that life is a trip, yet you don’t want to be on a trip. You don’t want to be off course, that is. You are on a journey of self-discovery. To call it a trip may minimize your journey. Away from life is nevertheless life, beloveds. Make your life a miracle.
And life, as it goes along, is always slipping through your fingers. It does not stay still where you may want it. It doesn’t stay still long enough for you to discern it. Life jogs along, and often faster than you can keep up with. The minute life touches you, it has escaped you. Life is not to be held onto. You can hardly succeed at that. So don’t be in a hurry. Enjoy the ride instead. There is no getting off it anyway.
Life is much talked about and little understood. But that’s all right. You don’t have to understand life. You just have to go with it. You just have to live it. It is yours to live. Life is given to you full-throttle. Go with it and don’t hold tight to those handlebars.
There is no map for you to follow unless you mean to follow love. Love is what holds life altogether. If there were a chart to be made of your ascension, it would show love rising and nothing else. What can compare to love? Certainly not all the in’s and out’s of your life on Earth as you are in its thrall and think you have to criss-cross it and deal with every immediacy in ways that are not love-filled. Remember love, beloveds. Remember love rather than perceived need. You need nothing but love, and it is your loving that I am talking about. Not attempt at love, but love, true understanding, true scaling the heights.
There is somewhere over the rainbow, and you are beginning to reach it. You are beginning to catch a falling star. You are beginning to catch on to life and what it is about and what you are about. Love is your guide. Nothing else is. Profit is not your guide. The desire to make everything right is not your guide. Love alone is your guide, and that includes true love for yourself as well. When you have the state of true love, you will see beyond what you have seen. You will not see enemy. You will not see ravage. You will see beyond them. You will have climbed over the rainbow and of what interest could less than love possibly be to you who are love?
