At Each Moment You Decide

I love mornings.

There is magic in each morning. No other time of the day is so rich with promise.

Just think, this day has never been before; it is unique.

What is possible today has never been possible before. Whatever has happened in your past is NOW over. You are free. You can lay your burden down and release it into the past where it belongs.

The only power it has over you is what you choose to give it. You can, in the magic of this morning and the magic of this moment, start anew. This is the power of the dawn.

To claim this power, you may have some things you need to do. You may need to forgive yourself. You may need to forgive someone else. Whatever forgiveness is required is possible.

Claim the magic of this morning to open your heart and your mind to the unlimited potential of this day. This day has never been here before. It is just NOW emerging and being created.

The ideas and solutions to life’s mysteries that are revealed to you today belong only to this moment and are filled with your co-creative power. What you think of in the magic of the morning takes form and substance through the laws of life that “energy follows thought.”

You are a child of God imbued with the spark of Divine Light that gives you the power in your thoughts to control and create your reality. You are, of all of the creation, the only one given the power of co-creation. That is the miracle of what it means to be a human being.

The choice is yours. Make of this day what you will. Create with this day what you wish. In each moment you get to decide.

Joy is yours for the taking.

What is most surprising about this miraculous morning is you can create whatever you need. If you need to suffer, you can suffer. If you need fear, you can paralyze yourself with fear.

Today is an adventure in your experience of life.

All of the drama that life contains can come into your day,
for good or ill, by your will.
– Genevieve Gerard

You might ask “why would I create pain and sorrow.” And, that is certainly a good question to ask yourself. “Why would I choose to suffer paralyzing fear?” “Why wouldn’t I choose anything but joy, success, or happiness?” The pain, sorrow and the failures you experience can provide valuable lessons that have a profound impact on your life.

These things may seem to be just happenstance, the accumulation of circumstances beyond your control. And you can cloak yourself in the illusions of life that make situations and circumstances seem beyond your power to control or influence. You choose whether these moments give you comfort or excuses that relieve you of the responsibility for your life.

In the magic of morning, I invite you to let the darkness fall from your eyes as the Light comes into being. You are a miracle of creation infused with a spark of the Divine. You are the Son of Man who is a co-creator with the creator.

This can be both a great blessing and a great responsibility. What you do with this day matters. What you create with your thoughts have consequences. They may be unintentional consequences or very intentional consequences; the choice is yours.

There is in every day and every circumstance two possibilities. There’s a positive side and a negative side and at each moment you decide.
– Bernie Gunther (High Cards)

What will you do with the magic of this moment?

What will you choose for this as yet unformed day brimming with potential and unclaimed possibilities? What will you create with this formless day that lies before you with no footprints yet upon it?

This moment, this opportunity has never been before. Life can change in the twinkling of an eye. All that has ever come before this time can be safely tucked into the past. Its time is now over.

It can only affect you if you let it if you cling to it. Come into NOW.

Your life and your future are being molded into being what you choose NOW. What you think and how you use your co-creative power is the creative force that shapes your emerging experience.

Seize from this magical moment the power to take control of the day and do great things with it. Free yourself as you forgive and forget every limitation that has ever held you captive.

Calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light of the new day into the new being you are becoming with the magic of this morning. This day has never been before and will never come again. Make the best of it, take the best of it.

It is NOW and in the NOW there is a great power.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.
– Eckhart Tolle

Unleash the power in your mind to claim the unlimited potential of the present. That is the magic of each morning. That is the promise of every new day.

Align yourself with your Life’s purpose. New possibilities are revealing themselves to you today. New thoughts, ideas you have never thought before, emerge from the creative power of your mind.

Open the space for new opportunities to come to you today. Let the Law of Attraction attract to you all that you need for success.

Shed from your thoughts any limiting beliefs. Clear from your being all that has ever held you back. This is a new day; let yourself find a new way.

This is the magic contained in the morning. This magic is available for you to claim today, right here, right now.

As the old saying reminds us, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make it the best of your life.” – anonymous.

Namaste,

Genevieve

How to Use Empathy Effectively

Genevieve Gerard

Learning How to Use Empathy Effectively

Empathy is an ability with many different definitions.

They cover a broad spectrum, ranging from caring for other people and having a desire to help them, to experiencing emotions that match another person’s emotions, to knowing what the other person is thinking or feeling.

According to Simple English Wikipedia, empathy is a word that means that someone is able to share or understand the emotions and feelings of another person.

I believe empathy is a gift. However, for some who are awakening to their higher power, their Soul, it can be a challenge.

From reading many recent posts on Social Media, it is clear to me that empathy is rarely understood. Those who are striving to be of help and service to humanity in this powerful time are often unaware of the higher purpose of being an empath and more importantly understand how empathy works.

I wrote this post because,

Learning how to use empathy effectively is an essential part of the process of spiritual awakening.
– Genevieve Gerard

The openness of your energy field to the emotions and pain of others can be very useful when you are trying to heal another person. However, when you are only moving through your life and find yourself feeling the pain and feelings that are not your own, it can be confusing. Part of the process of empathy emerging in your consciousness is for you to learn to identify what comes from your individual consciousness and what is from your expanded consciousness.

There are some truths about empathy that I will explain briefly in this post along with some techniques and practices that can be helpful.

One truth is that spiritual gifts, like empathy, emerge spontaneously. On the other hand, they may be difficult to integrate into modern life in our modern world.

We do not live in a society where spiritual experiences are explored and talked about or explained in daily life as a natural part of life. As more and more individuals are facing the challenges of awakening without the support and guidance of a guide or mentor, confusion, and misunderstandings abound.

One of the advantages is this process of awakening is happening too many and not to only one individual. However, the danger of these phenomena emerging outside of traditional spiritual instruction is the plethora of misunderstanding and misinformation that can be rapidly spread as well-meaning people struggle to teach others beyond what they know.

Recognizing that you know what you know, and recognizing that
you do not know what you do not know — this is knowledge.
– Confucious

For many centuries, the source materials for volumes of spiritual knowledge have been kept secret and behind a veil. In earlier times the Ageless Wisdom was revealed under the guidance of a master who worked with an individual or a group of students in a spiritual community that supported the nurturance and unfolding of their spiritual gifts.

In those times and under those conditions empathy was understood as an evolving part of a spiritual journey.

In our modern society, a spiritual journey is often not only misunderstood but since it is an experience outside of “consensus reality”, it may be labeled, diagnosed and medicated away.

If you are undergoing a process of spiritual awakening, it may be helpful to have a guide to the changes of enlightened awareness that can protect you from the danger of the misuse of your gift which can lead to misery and discomfort.

These risks are unique to our times and the trappings of our modern society. When someone’s empathy gifts are emerging, and they begin to realize they are feeling the pains and emotions of others they most often suffer in silence. When you share what you are experiencing to those who have never had the same experience you stand a good chance of being judged as crazy. Worse still, you may judge yourself as crazy.

Fortunately, the emergence of the concept of empathy into consciousness groups gives some framework with which to begin to understand this strange reality. However, although this loose explanation within social networking groups may be sufficient to provide a label that enables you to realize that you are not crazy, it falls short of teaching you how to use your gift without harming either yourself or those you seek to aid. Knowing that you are not the only person who feels and experiences other people’s pain and emotions, falls short of teaching you how to use your gift for the service and support of others on their life journey.

Likewise, how empathy can be utilized as a dynamic part of your life journey is still missing. What you can do to wield your gift from a centered and calm perspective is rarely addressed. What you can do to protect yourself from the pain and raging emotions of others is a source of much confusion and misinformation.

How you incorporate your empathy into your social relationships is also important. There are both ethical issues and issues of right relationship that you need to consider. Your empathetic gift which has the underlying purpose of enabling you to be of help and healing to people can create harm if not used with compassion and understanding.

Certainly helping is the intention of most of those blessed with empathetic vision. It is doubtful that you would have ever received the spiritual gift of empathy if you wanted it to harm others.

However, in all spiritual endeavors as in all of life, there is always the danger of unintended consequences. It is to avoid those unintended consequences that it is important that you learn to use your empathy to heal, not hurt.

Most importantly, that also means to learn how to be an empath without hurting and harming yourself.

As I read through the hundreds of problems in posts shared on social media, I have become increasingly aware that adjusting to empathy without an underlying understanding and structure of the why and how to use the gift is a problem for many.

Using the gift of empathy effectively identifies some basic principles that are of great importance to understand. Learning to recognize what is coming to you empathetically and then being able to discriminate and differentiate it from your personal thought reactions and feelings is an important first step.

Discernment and discrimination are of vital importance to use your gift of empathy in a way that both is of healing help to those around you without creating harm or hurt in your life.

Meditation is a valuable tool in helping you to do this. It is also important to have a way to transcend, transform and transmute those emotions in yourself, and as a healer in others. Part of being an effective healer and efficient as an empath is learning mastery of your emotions. Ponder on this.

Understanding your emotions is a significant step in your spiritual evolution, and it is often a challenge that happens concurrently with the emergence or increase in the spiritual gift of empathy.

Mastering your emotions is a significant life challenge. Taking that mastery to a level where you can work with healing the emotions of others requires a deeper understanding of the nature of the emotional body and how you interact energetically with others.

Feel Free of All Negative Emotions

Understanding emotions are so important that in my body of work I created two different products from the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom to explain emotional transmutation.

The shorter (10 minute) version is called, “I Am Feeling Free.” It allows you to learn to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts. The longer and more technically complex guided training called “Feeling Free” takes about 20 minutes and is a guide to feeling free forever of all negative emotions.

Check out these short guided trainings on Amazon:

I Am Feeling Free:
Learn to Calm Strong Emotions and Transmute Fears and Doubts

Feeling Free:
Guide to Feel Free Forever of All Negative Emotions

Both involve learning to master your emotions and transmute and transform the energy. Feeling Free is especially valuable for an empath because when you do it with the added intention of clearing and raising the emotional energy of everyone in the room it impacts the experience of everyone as a healing event.

Empathy Is A Gift

What is most empowering and significant to understand about being an empath is that not only are you aware of the emotions and hurts of others but that the purpose of that awareness is to empower you to help heal those hurts. That is why empathy is considered a spiritual gift, and not as you may fear it to be a spiritual curse.

Using the universal law that “energy follows thought” makes intention a most powerful tool for an empath. Part of the education of an empath is to enable them to use their empathy as a healing tool for the betterment of others. That is the higher purpose for which the gift is available to Lightworkers and Light-bearers.

It is important to understand that as an Empath when you transmute, transform and transcend your negative emotions you (with intention) have the power to impact the vibration and emotional pain of all who are around you. That is why Empathy is a gift and power you must learn to use wisely with discrimination and discernment.

How to Use Empathy Effectively

Meditating upon these issues is helpful. Clearing your emotional field is essential. Understanding how to do that and incorporating emotional mastery into your life as a healer is also one of the keys.

Compassion and respect are essential elements of using your empathetic gift. Practicing kindness and learning to be non-judgemental are attributes that are important to master.

Recently, as a lifetime student of the Ageless Wisdom, and a lifelong meditator who is also a healer and an empath, I have been feeling directed to offer an opportunity for empaths to learn and grow into how to better understand their gift.

Since I can only explain and write so much in a blog post, I am willing to offer my experience and wisdom as a longtime counselor, life coach, and healer, to teach and train those interested in learning to master their empathic gift through a series of webinars.

I will begin with a general webinar for those who need and desire this information. If you are interested, you are invited!

Please simply join my community email list (I will only send out things occasionally and promise never to flood you with email) if you would like to be notified about the webinar. When the time is right, I will then contact you personally by email to invite you to join the online event.

Out of the first empathy webinar event (and experience) and based on the needs and interest of the participants, I will develop a series of educational webinars on How to Use Empathy Effectively.

I trust the wisdom of the universe to attract to this event those who can grow and learn from it. I encourage you to trust the knowledge of your internal guidance to know if this is something that would benefit you or a close friend.

If you are interested in learning more about how empathy works and how you can master your empathy gift, please opt-in above with your email and I will notify you about the webinar and any further articles I write on empathy.

You, as an empath have been given a powerful ability to having a healing presence and impact on those around you. But you need to learn how to use your gift without taking on the emotions and pains of those you endeavor to help and heal.

To not learn that mastery and the Ancient Wisdom can make empathy a painful journey in a modern world where what you are experiencing is outside of the understanding of the world around you.

As a longtime empath, helping those who are awakening with the gift of empathy to understand it and use it effectively is something I have been directed to do in my meditations. If you wish to learn more about How to Use your Spiritual Gift of Empathy, these webinars are for you.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity In Miraculous Ways

This article is a part of my ongoing series on Angels and Meditation.

This morning the revelations of my meditations are focused upon the way that the heavenly hosts respond to humanities prayers for help.

Call Upon the Divine

When an individual, or even more powerfully and profoundly a group, call upon the Divine for healing or Divine intervention with a world problem, the prayers and invocations create an activation of energy to which all Divine beings respond.

That response is always aligned with Divine Will and the overall plan for earth’s evolution. In the heavenly hosts, where the Will of God is known, all response is compatible with that plan. In all miraculous responses, the highest good of all is seen and considered. The Angels always work from that perspective. It is their nature and their commitment.

Within that scope miracles can be activated and empowered in response to humanities prayers and need. Miracles are the mysterious and at times seemingly magical power of prayer and invocation. This is why prayer works.

Miracles, although they may appear to exist outside of humanities scientific understanding, are always compatible with both the Will of the Creator and the Creator’s Divine Plan. More and more revelations of truths are being revealed by science that may explain how energy works to explain what has heretofore only been understood as miraculous.

These profound mysteries involve a connection between humanity and its evolving consciousness and the angelic kingdom. God did not create humankind and then leave it to its own devices to struggle through the eons of time isolated and adrift.

Throughout the history of humanity, there are world teachers and world saviors that have come to reveal spiritual truths previously unknown or unclear to humanity. No matter what religion or dogma shapes the messages of these exalted beings, or how limited humanities understanding of these truths may be, this outreach from the Creator for a relationship is ongoing. The sad fact is that all too frequently people use these revelations and guidance as an excuse to divide humanity.

That spiritual revelation is used to make war rather than to focus upon Gods Love to bring humanity into greater relationship with Him is a mystery.
– Genevieve Gerard

The relationship between God and humankind is a covenant relationship that is best explained as an “I-Thou Relationship.” The relationship is one that is embedded with Divine Love and filled with Divine Grace.

The relationship with humanity and the relationship with the Divine, and the unique dynamic that exists only between God as Father and humanity as the dual creation, as a Son of God and Son of Man, is both powerful and profound. The Divine spark that God gave to human beings breathed life into His creation. A creation that was made in His image and is unique in all of creation.

Inherent in this creation of man endowed with God’s Divine spark is the brotherhood of man. To use religion and relationship with God to divide people is a violation of every spiritual truth revealed by every spiritual guide, avatar or world savior who has every walked the earth to enhance God’s relationship with humanity.

The Divine spark that resides within every human being enables humankind to work and relate with God, not only as the creator but also as Jesus taught, as a Heavenly Father. This Father included free-will for humanity. This free will is a factor in humanities ongoing co-creator relationship with God and humanities constant need for forgiveness and Divine intervention.

Angels Respond to the Cries of Humanity

Whereas human beings enjoy their co-creative freedom, the Heavenly Hosts and Angels are eternally blended into the dictates of Divine Will. Certainly, this differentiation is significant when Angels respond to the cries of humanity.

Since the beginning of time on this planet, Angels have served as the messengers of the Divine to humanity. During the eons that have passed, Angels have followed their in-volutionary life path. As humanity has strived upon its evolutionary path, Angels have remained in the realm of spirit.

These paths, angelic and human have come together under the auspices of the Soul. When at the ensoulment of a new human life the aid and service of a Guardian Angel has been enlisted, there is a commitment to the life of that human being for assistance and protection. This relationship between a human being and a Guardian Angel has, over the eons created a bridge of awareness and consciousness.

Being a Guardian Angel for a human being, who has both the Divine spark of co-creation and free will is a sacrifice and service that the angelic kingdom offers as a manifestation of their nature as beings of Love, to serve humanity and God to help bring about the fulfillment of God’s plan for humanity.

This unique dynamic created a sacred relationship both activated and overseen by your Soul. The consequence of this merging of angelic consciousness into the co-creative, free-will aspects of human consciousness has resulted in a thinning of the veil that once separated human life and angelic life.

This has been accelerated by humanity calling upon the heavenly hosts for help and intervention in their lives. The Angels have responded and through that response and interaction have also learned and evolved their awareness and understanding of human life.

You Can Make A Difference

This expansion of consciousness of both humanity and Angels has created a greater awareness and understanding of both life expressions.

The Soul, your Soul, resides in the angelic realm. Your reach for the union with your Soul, the Divine Spark within you, is fostered by your desires, prayers, meditations, and invocations that help to blend further and fuse these energies.

The human effort of activating this merger of energies, through the invocation of personal will and meditation, have been rewarded by Divine Grace. Divine Grace is inherent in the human evolution process and an active force in revelation.

The merging of your human personality with your Soul opens the portal to the next stage in human evolution. Ponder on this.

Ancient Soul Mantram

It is to empower and enhance that integration that I offer you the ancient wisdom of the Mantra of the Soul for use in your meditations.

Mantram of the Soul – for Soul Infusion

Take a deep breath in and as you visualize the energy rising up to a radiant point of Light above your head.

Then say:

I Am the Soul
And also Love I Am
Above all else, I am will and clear design
My Will is now to lift the lower self into the Light Divine
That Light, I Am
Therefore, I must descend to where the lower-self awaits my coming.

Now breathing deeply, slowly and evenly, visualize the energy descending from the Soul, down the central energy channel through all of the chakras.
From the crown to the ajna
From the ajna to the throat
From the throat to the heart
From the heart to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the sacral center
And from the sacral center to the base of the spine.

Then circulate the energy back up
From the base of the spine to the sacral center
From the sacral center to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the heart
From the heart to the throat
From the throat to the ajna
From the ajna to the crown
And from the crown back up to the Soul.

Repeat this pattern circulating the energy back through all of the chakras and down to the base of the spine and back up three or more times.

When you feel the energies have merged, continue by saying:

That which intends to lift
And that which invokes the lifting
Are now at One
Such is my Will

Conclude by sounding the OM 3 times

– adapted from the works of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul

For a greater understanding of how Mantras can empower your meditation, please read my article on The Power of Mantras.

You will find other articles on my website that contain mantras for the purpose of experiencing and integrating your Soul with your personality, which is a major step in the process of your spiritual growth and enlightenment.

As you reach for the touch of your Soul in your meditations, you will be actively and consciously working to bring the Angels into greater cooperation and support to humanity.

This can only be accomplished by a human being with the activation of your free will through your role as a co-creator with the Divine as you become increasingly aware of your Soul as a part of your full power and potential as a human being.

I encourage and urge you to meditate upon this with a variety of the meditations offered in the related links below.

I also encourage and invite you to explore the relationship with your Guardian Angels through the related links below.

Keep calling for Divine intervention and when you use your meditations and prayers to reach your Soul or the realm of Angels, add your free will and co-creative efforts to a plan and purpose that is beyond your current understanding but can be revealed to you and transform and empower everyones life in surprising ways.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Festival of Humanity

Genevieve Gerard

The Festival of Humanity

– World Invocation Day

There are Three Spiritual Festivals that are celebrated in the consciousness calendar every year.

The Three Festivals are aligned with and follow the lunar and astrological phenomena of the rotation of the planets and the stars. They are observed through the cycle of the Moon as it navigates through the stars constellations.

The observation of these energetic cycles is very archetypal and ancient indeed. In fact, the Church fathers used the influx of these energies in guiding the Church calendar when they determined that the celebration of Easter fell in the alignment of this energetic cosmic cycle in the first century. The date of Easter is always celebrated on the First Sunday following the Full Moon in the astrological sign of Aries.

The very first in the cycle of the Three Spiritual Festivals is aligned with the ongoing work of the Christ in the world since His miracle of resurrection and accession to the Father. These events are deep mysteries that have influenced humanity energetically in ways that transcend belief, faith, and human understanding.

The ways of God in His ongoing attempt to bring humanity into right relationship with Him are mysterious. Although theologians and religion have a long tradition of creating a dogma that they require the faithful to espouse, the ways of the Divine are more wondrous and miraculous than is understood by most human consciousness at this time.

The fact that miracles are beyond understanding
is what makes them miracles.
~ Genevieve Gerard

The cosmic nature of God and His relationship with humanity is one of the great mysteries of human existence.

For all that mankind thinks that it knows, and understands is the confrontation that there is much that we do not know. Within the human experience, there is a bond that exists between the human heart and Soul and the glorious Presence of the Divine, a bond of Love that can be experienced but never adequately explained.

This bond is found in a relationship; a relationship that exists between the Creator and the created. That relationship has often been described, with such mysterious and lofty words as Grace or the Peace that passes understanding. The very statement that this relationship is beyond human understanding opens your heart and mind to an attitude of an “I-Thou” relationship that relies upon communion and revelation from God into the deepest spark of Divinity within you, your Soul.

Join Genevieve Gerard for a Full Moon Meditation Every Month — Full Moon Over The Beach

This mutually longed for relationship reveals the Divine purpose of the three great spiritual festivals. During this time in the Cosmic calendar, marked by the cycle of earth’s Moon are a time of revelation.

The revelations are focused on greater understanding and awareness of energies that are coming to earth from the Mind of God and the Heart of God with the Will of God to bring about God’s plan of evolution for his creation humanity.

As has been true since the very first breath of creation, there is in the human experience Free Will. That makes the energies of the three festivals available but only as much as you open your heart and mind to be receptive to the awareness through prayer, meditation and intuition to the promptings of your Soul.

Each of the three springtime spiritual festivals provides its own purpose and flow of energy by blending the aspects below:

Hierarchy	Love aspect of God	Festival of Resurrection	Aries
Shamballa	Will aspect of God	Festival of Wesak	Taurus
Humanity	Divine Intelligence	Festival of Humanity	Gemini

The Festival of the Resurrection

“I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule.”

The first is known as the Festival of the Resurrection. This festival occurs right before Easter and is a celebration of the resurrection. The keynote is Love.

The Wesak Festival

“I see, and when the eye is opened, all is light.”

The second is the Wesak Festival. It is held at the Taurus Full Moon. The keynotes are wisdom & divine purpose.

Wesak is celebrated around the world and focuses upon the blending of the Wisdom of the Buddha and the Divine Love of the Christ blending and merging the energies of Love and Wisdom for humanity.

The Festival of Humanity

“I recognize my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow.”

The final celebration is at the Gemini Full Moon and is called the Festival of Humanity. The keynote is Humanity, aspiring to God.

At this time and in the three days preceding and following the actual peak of the Full Moon, humanity receives the guidance and impressions of the prior full moon activations of the Christ’s resurrection energies, and the blessings of the Christ and Buddha’s blending of Love with Wisdom.

The Festival of Humanity (also known as the Festival of Goodwill) is a cosmic celebration of the dispersing of these energies to humanity as a whole. This is sometimes also called the Festival of the Christ because the Ageless Wisdom tell us that the Christ in His ongoing role of World Savior sends forth to all His disciples on earth the energies they need to propel humanity throughout the next year to make the world a better place.

This blessing is mystical and yet emerges into the consciousness of all those faithful who are aligned with the Christ throughout the world, through the communion of the church and throughout the efforts of the Men and Woman of Goodwill known as the New Group of World Servers.

The empowerment of those who serve humanity with dedication are demonstrated through self-forgetfulness; harmlessness and right speech, for these, are the characteristics of a member of the New Group of World Servers.

At the time of the Festival of Humanity (World Invocation Day), the Hierarchy will, under the guidance of the Christ, let loose the will-to-good upon Humanity, producing seven great results:

7 Great Results

Power will be given to the disciples of the world and the initiates among humanity so that They can direct efficiently and wisely the coming process of rebuilding.

The will-to-love will stimulate the men and women of goodwill everywhere so that hatred will gradually be overcome and humanity will seek to live together cooperatively.

The will-to-action will lead intelligent people throughout the world to inaugurate those activities which will lay the foundation for a new, better and happier world.

The will-to-cooperate will steadily increase also. Men and women will desire and demand right human relations.

The will-to-know and to think correctly and creatively will become an outstanding characteristic of the masses. Knowledge is the first step towards wisdom.

The will-to-persist (which is an aspect of devotion and fixed idealism) will become a human characteristic – a sublimation of the basic instinct of self-preservation.

The will-to-organize will further a building process which will be carried forward under the direct inspiration of the Hierarchy. The medium will be the potency of the will-to-good of the New Group of World Servers and the responsive goodwill of humankind.

To be a part of this service and work requires no dogma or belief, rather the heartfelt desire of service to humanity to make this world a better place.

At five p.m. across the world in every time zone, so this prayer chain circumnavigates the world every day, is a blessing that energetically supports this work and service.

I invite you to pause and take a moment to help empower humanity to make the transitions of consciousness that are unique to this moment in time and space. By saying the blessing below daily, you will strengthen and empower those who work to transform the world.

Blessing of The New Group of World Servers

May the Power of the One Life
pour through the group of all true servers;

May the Love of the One Soul
characterize the lives of all who
seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One Work
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness,
and right speech.

At five p.m. every day going forward, wherever you are, let us join our Soul Light with Love to the millions of those across the world who work to help humanity.

One of the amazing aspects of being a part of a Soul group is that you need not even be consciously aware of the group. You, if you focus on love, light and service to humanity, are a part of this worldwide effort and the blessings invoked around the world by those conscious of this effort are available to you to support and empower your work and service.

At no other time in the year is the energy more powerfully available than at this Full Moon when the Festival of Humanity is celebrated in the heavens and on earth.

At this propitious period, take a little time to ponder on this and be receptive as you sit quietly and calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light.

Namaste,

Genevieve

P.S. WORLD INVOCATION DAY (also called the Festival of Humanity and the Christ Festival) is the spirit of humanity aspiring towards God, seeking conformity with the will of God and dedicated to the expression of right human relations. This is celebrated on the Gemini Full Moon. It is a day wherein the spiritual and divine nature of humankind will be recognized.

World Invocation Day is a world day of prayer and meditation when men and women of every spiritual path join in a universal appeal to divinity and use the Great Invocation. Together they focus the evocative demand of humanity for the light, the love and the spiritual direction needed to build a world of justice, unity and peace.

P.P.S. In 2021, the Festival of Humanity occurred at the full moon during Gemini on Wednesday, May 26 at 7:13 a.m. Eastern in the U.S.A.

The Community of Brotherhood

Genevieve Gerard

The Community of Brotherhood

Meditating with others in a group has the benefit of a community that enhances the power and experience for every member of the group.

The word “community” derives from the Old French comuneté which comes from the Latin communitas (from Latin communis, things held in common).

In the forming of a group for a spiritual purpose, something special takes place that expands the awareness of every person gathered together. This brotherhood of humankind leads to an expansion of consciousness and awareness that is greater than what anyone individual can touch. This energy has a mystical influence that may not be consciously in your awareness but impacts your experience.

This influence is especially true when you meditate or pray in groups. It becomes dynamically true when you and the group share a common purpose and a unified intention.

The group experience is further exalted when your purpose is to help others. One of the most potent and intense group experiences is when your goal is to provide healing.

The mystical, almost magical aspects of this coming together have long been promised by the Christ when he said, “Whenever two or more are gathered in my name I am with them.” This power of the Presence of the Christ is an energetic connection that has far-reaching implications especially when the purpose of the coming together is for the purpose of healing, spiritual support, and community.

Prayers that bring the group together, especially when the purpose is for service to others are, empower and enhanced. Meditating together as a group augments and enriches the experience of everyone who joins their hearts, minds, and Souls together.

When the intention is for coming together for service, your Soul is ignited. With the invocation and clarity of purpose, a dynamic new Presence can often be sensed, that of a group Soul, or the Soul of the group. Energetic connecting of Souls empowers and enhances the effectiveness of groups.

When a group of Souls joins for a unified purpose, miracles can happen. Your Soul and the Souls of those who have gathered are manifesting a unity that is already real in the realm of the Soul. The conscious choice to join your human efforts and experiences become a manifestation of the ancient awareness, “As above, so below.”

The realm in which your Soul resides is also the realm of Angels. By joining your human lives together in a unified purpose, especially when you are joined for service and healing, you and those who have joined with you activate not only your Soul group but also the Angels who are also aligned with your higher purpose. You can further empower your group meditative experience and healings by consciously inviting the Presence of Angels and invoking their help.

When engaged in group healing there is a natural and spontaneous merging of meditation, prayer, and invocation. Connecting with healing Angels also facilitates alignment with Divine Will.

Within the unity and support of the group consciousness, the detachment required is enhanced. Ponder on this.

This union of a human group, a Soul group, and the Angels is powerful beyond human imaginings. In that union the consideration of the highest good of all is automatic. By so joining with this merging of purpose any considerations of Divine Will are automatic, and those individuals who are in the group find their individual Will is also aligned as attachments can be released in the awareness of Soul Union.

You can work more effectively in your groups and your community by consciously joining your energies together at the highest level. The group purpose and intention of working together are powerful. Coming together for a clearly stated objective automatically empowers the subtle energies available to enhance your success.

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
– Vince Lombardi

I have also found that having a purpose that is beyond you, especially when that purpose focuses on healing or helping another exponentially, increases the result. What is miraculous about joining for a unified purpose is that your energy and intention enable you to transcend the limitations of both space and time to have an impact and influence that is greater than you can have as an individual.

I encourage you to join your life and human efforts with groups of like-minded individuals who share your vision of life problems that cry out for a solution, help with physical healing and global issues such as peace.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
– Margaret Mead

Throughout society in churches, charities, lodges, and service clubs there is an opportunity to participate in the magnificent empowerment of group consciousness and group Soul. Choosing to work together for service, choosing to pray and meditate together, all expand your awareness and understanding of this life-enhancing experience.

I have for many years joined energetically with a worldwide group that is known by the name The New Group of World Servers. The only criteria required to join this group is to join with the purpose and intention to make the world a better place. It is created by and composed of Men and Women of Goodwill. You are already a member of this group if you are aligned with its purpose and intention. This meditation was created for that group.

Many across the planet join their hearts, minds, and Souls to strengthen and empower this service by saying a Blessing to the New Group of World Servers every day at 5 P.M. in your local time, wherever you are in the world. See below.

Although the Ageless Wisdom indicates that this planetary work and service is under the direction of the Christ, no dogma or belief is required. All faiths are welcomed. Within the focus of Goodwill and service to your fellow man, there is only harmony.

The guidelines are contained within the words of the blessing provided below.

I invite you to enjoy the increased sense of joy and purpose that working in groups can bring to your life, and join with others of Goodwill with your Heart, your mind, and your Soul.

By saying at 5 pm (everywhere you are).

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

May the Power of the One Life

pour through the group of all true servers;

May the Love of the One Soul

characterize the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One Work

through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.

Joining together for the purpose of helping humanity forms an interwoven network of Light that is infused with Love. I offer you my Love and Blessing in the bonds of Sister and Brotherhood.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Mother’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Happy Mother’s Day

At this time of the year, we acknowledge and honor the great sacrifice that Mothers make and have made since the beginning of time.

We also acknowledge the great transformation that Mothers have set in motion.

A Mother’s Perspective is Different

From the beginning of our awareness that life is growing within us what is important to us, what fulfills us, what we want from life subtlety changes? This is true no matter how you became a mother, through giving birth, through adoption or from accepting a spouse’s children as your own. This change is born of holding a love in your heart that is greater than you ever knew was possible. This change grants mother’s a vision of life that transcends how things are as it affirms what deeply important in the continuity of life and in the demonstration of love.

This shift of consciousness is powerful, life-affirming and real. Any woman who has ever embarked upon the adventure of motherhood notices that this experience impacts your life in many different ways.

By sharing this poem written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870, which was the original proclamation of Mother’s Day I honor all mother’s with gratitude. The sacrifices you have made to nurture the next generation will live on as the love you have given and the wisdom you have shared ripples through time into eternity.

You as a Mother are a part of a vital force for all that is life-affirming and good in the world. The sisterhood of Motherhood has the power to ignite change and new awareness, as the proclamation below does. Together the principles of right speech, justice, truth, and honor shall continue to be taught.

Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation

Arise then…women of this day!

Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:

“We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
for caresses and applause.

Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country,
will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
our own. It says: “Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.”

Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
nor violence indicate possession.

As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of counsel.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace…
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God

In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
and the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.

As society takes this time to honor and exalt mothers I invite Mother’s everywhere to take a pause to understand and affirm the amazing power you have as a Mother to mold the generations of the future. In your hands, we have placed a sacred trust.

To help empower and support all of you in this great adventure I offer you some affirmations that can help you focus and energize you in this great duty.

Mother’s Affirmations

I take care of myself, for I realize I cannot give from an empty container.
I release those I love from any expectations that may be limiting their life.
I am gentle with myself, my spouse and with children, letting compassion guide me as I strive to be quick to forgive.
I do my best to give those I influence love and support.
I acknowledge I am not perfect, but it will be enough because I give with Love and the intention to guide and support all.
I trust that love will prevail connecting heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind and Soul-to-Soul with honor for the differences between us and respect for the ties that bind us.

Call to Mother’s of the World

Realize that as Mothers we can transform the world through the values we instill and the guidance we provide this next generation of humanity. This is a sacred honor. We owe this duty to the future. As a group and as individuals, we stand firm in teaching right from wrong. We are women, we are Mothers and we are stronger and more empowered than we imagine.

We are the mystical representatives of the Divine Feminine, the Divine Mother, and Gaia, the Mother Earth.

This Mother energy we bring into manifestation and expression is a sacred honor which we bear.

During this time, the world is honoring motherhood. Let us also honor the Sisterhood of Feminine Energy to offer one another support by rejecting competition and enhancing cooperation.

Let us honor one another and support one another in our varied roles and responsibility so we can together build a world where all children can thrive, grow and become successful.

This is a gift we can give to one another during this special time of the year as we honor the unique blessing we, as women of the world unite in Motherhood and Sisterhood.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

Genevieve Gerard

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

– Even in death love prevails

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

A profound truth that resonates deep within your Soul is Love Never Ends. It defies logic and yet is cherished and depended on upon, especially when you lose a loved one to the tyranny of death.

Love and death are archetypically tied together in the human consciousness. Death is one of life’s experiences that makes you wonder about life with a need to understand.

It is often the loss of a loved one through death that causes you to begin to explore life beyond the limitations of matter and the five senses. It is not uncommon for the death of someone you deeply love to open your mind to reality and consciousness that is more than what you can touch and feel in the material world.

It may be that when you love someone, your awareness expands beyond the limitations of your physical awareness. Take a look back over your life and consider whether life is larger and more wondrous than what is only physical.

Love is the key that unlocks your understanding of life beyond what is only physical. This dichotomy exposes the reality and understanding of life as a dual existence. This duality requires merging what you experience and perceive with your physical sensations, with the perceptions of your Soul.

It is both mysterious and miraculous that you can be aware of physical reality and spiritual truths simultaneously. As you explore this duality, you begin to understand the full potential of what it means to be a human being.

Love is the greatest teacher of truth that you have in your life. The lessons of love and perceptions of love are realer and may be more important than any doctrine ever preached. This is because the lessons of love are recognized deep in your heart and Soul. When you love someone you know you are transcending into what is real and meaningful in life.

Love allows you to take on power that is not available with any other human endeavor. It is a unique force that is available when death brings the sorrow of separation. In spite of the stark reality of mortality, the love is still there.

That makes the death of a loved one an opportunity to learn and expand your spiritual consciousness. Somehow, the very breadth of love and the stark reality and pain of death are incongruent. In spite of the loss and the sorrow of someone who you love dying you are confronted with the awareness that your love somehow not only did not die but also understand to the depth of your being could not die.

Life’s lessons, the particular lesson that love reveals come with a resonance of knowing that transcends understanding. Although love’s lessons may support and fuel faith, they transcend faith. Love teaches truth. Truth has the power of revelation that extends into the very essence of your being.

Your Soul has no doctrine, no dogma, and no denomination, yet it always resonates with the truth.

You may not understand the hows & whys of this, but the knowing and recognition that comes with acknowledging the truth are unmistakable. Your Soul recognizes the truth and understands the mysterious and miraculous with a profound sense of knowing.

Even in the midst of mourning and sorrow you realize that love is not limited to the physical body which you now know and understand to be just a temporary vehicle for your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

There is within you an amazing teacher that always knows what is true. That insight opens your awareness to understanding the mysteries of eternity that are otherwise incomprehensible and unknowable. It is that knowing that becomes apparent when striving to cope with the death of a loved one. Ultimately, to lose someone you love to death brings you face-to-face with the truth that love cannot die.

THE RING OF TRUTH

It is the test of truth known by your Soul that I ask you to apply to any and all of your teachings. Simply give any experience the test of the “ring of truth,” if it resonates in your Soul as truth, you cannot be misled.

When you open your life to love, you create a bond that is beyond both time and space. You open the door to what is Divine in life and what is eternal.

Comfort comes with realizing that love transcends even death itself because it exists within eternity.

Love is the bond that connects your Soul to the Soul of your beloved. This bonding of love is beyond the physical expression because it happens between two Souls. This bonding of love cannot be destroyed by death because it exists within the eternal. This bond of love is what you know is still there as you face the fact of mortality.

You may have to learn to live without the companionship of a loved one’s presence in your life, but you can draw succor and strength from the realization that the bond of love continues throughout time.

When you consider the many ways and roles in life that express love, the eternal nature of love begins to make sense.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
– Henry Van Dyke

When you remember all those you have loved in life, and the many diverse ways that love manifests in your life, the expression of eternal love through our life begins to make sense. We all seek to bond with others through love. That occurs from the initial bond of love that an infant seeks from its Mother. It continues into the love of close childhood friends and the romance and sexual love of finding a mate.

Love ultimately directs all of the relationships of our lives. Friendship bonds can be stronger than familial bonds. There are also sisters and brothers whose relationships are so much more than friends are. These differing themes and variations in relationships that provide the expression and support of love in life create what I call, “the dance of love throughout eternity.”

YOUR DUALITY IN LIFE

Each life adventure provides different roles and relationships through which you can experience love.

It is with this insight on love that you can expand your understanding and awareness to make peace with the concept of physical death. It is through this expansion of your consciousness that thousands of little mysteries can be clarified.

To live in a temporal word of matter that experiences the loss and heartbreak of death yet be an eternal Soul who is a spark of Divine Light requires a dual reality and requires a dual awareness. This duality in your consciousness can be a strength that explains many of life’s challenges.

This duality of a Soul, who has a body but is a being that is so much greater than your body, provides strength and guidance. Ponder on this! Coming to understand your dual natures as you face life’s challenges and potential is revealing.

Death, by its very finality and limitation, brings you face-to-face with the Soul as it is only with an understanding of the life of the Soul and the actual nature of Love does death become bearable and comprehensible.

The eternal nature of your Soul and the eternal nature of love can be a comfort to you at a time of loss. If you ponder these thoughts and put them through the test of the truth of your Soul’s knowing, your awareness expands to comprehend much in life that has previously been unfathomable and incomprehensible.

Love is exalted as the life lesson that honors the bonds of love throughout eternity as an expression of Divine Love in our adventure of life. So remember that it is a dance of love throughout eternity.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Breathe for Healing and Harmony

Genevieve Gerard

Breathe for Healing and Harmony:

A Meditative Experiential Article

Part of my ongoing
series on Healing.

Breathing is essential to maintain life. A guided or controlled breath is often one of the best techniques used in meditation.

Breath is both a physical action and an energetic act. Prana, life energy is available through the breath.

Follow me now as we enter a meditative experiential article about using breath for healing and harmony.

This meditation will unify your mind, your heart and your body with your Soul to heal you. To begin this meditation, I invite you to Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Invite the Light. Now take a deep breath.

When using breath in healing, there are several purposes of the breath: Clearing your energy field and relaxing your body and releasing emotionally any fears and anxieties of which you are aware.

This breathing exercise becomes a meditation through your intentions. Be receptive and aware as you peacefully and calmly just breathe.

As you read this meditation, let your breath move throughout your body, aware that prana, life energy surrounds you.

Begin by sitting quietly and receptively and let yourself relax. As you relax, let your mind calm as you observe your breath. Make no attempt to control your breathing; just follow the natural rise and fall of each breath.

As you breathe in the air that is essential to maintain and sustain your life force, let your awareness that this gift is freely available to the full extent of your need.

Draw in as much air as your lungs can hold, expanding your lung capacity by relaxing your solar plexus as you drop your diaphragm.

Then as you draw in your breath, as it moves up your body, let your energy move with the Prana (Life Force) you are breathing in.

Become aware that you are the one who is breathing in, and you are the one who is breathing out. Let this awareness happen naturally and spontaneously requiring no conscious thought or consideration.

By bringing your awareness to the simple act of breathing you can expand your consciousness. You may become aware of the symbiosis and cooperative dynamic of all of life. The oxygen you freely partake of has been created by the trees and plants and verdant life that surround you. It sustains you. Your very act of breathing produces the carbon dioxide that the trees and plants require maintaining their life cycle. There is deep magic in this cooperative and co-dependency of life.

As you observe that natural rise and fall of your breath, you can be a detached observer letting your mind calm, and your body relax. As you just sit quietly receptively observe the rise and fall of your chest and your belly as you breathe in the vital life force of Prana, which is all around you and freely available to you.

As you continue to relax, breathing and observing the natural ebb and flow of the air that you breathe, you might notice the coolness of the breath as you breathe in or the warmth of your breath as you breathe out.

You might notice that this breathing process happens both naturally and spontaneously without requiring any thought or action on your part.

All that you need to do is Be, right here and right now. As you just sit quietly and receptively and breathe, let the vital life force fill you, relax you and restore you. This gift is available to you freely and spontaneously. It is a gift you can use for your healing. It is available to you now and always available as a vital force for your life and living.

To enhance and expand the healing power of your breath engage the healing power of your mind and the healing power of your higher source, your Soul. You can invoke your higher source through the loving power of your Soul. Just open your whole being to the Light of your Soul by imagining your Soul as a radiating golden white Light 3-to-6 feet above your physical body.

The Light of the Soul Descends — Soul Light Descending

Upon observing the Light of your Soul, recognize its Presence as a part of who and what you are. As a human being, you are miraculously composed of a physical body, although you are more than your physical body. You have a creative and dynamic mind which you can use to focus your powerful capacity for thought. Your heart is a spark of the force of Divine love. You are a Soul that is a unified part of the Divine Creative Source for all of life.

As you breathe in a full and relaxing breath, let these energies merge and blend to manifest as the healing Presence and the Healing Power that they are.

Use intention, visualization and invocation to invite this healing into your life through the air that you are breathing.

With your breath consciously consider that as you draw in this breath you can infuse the air with the dynamic healing power of Prana to rebuild, refresh and restore your body.

Let the very air that you breathe be filled with the healing Light of your Soul and the generous grace of God. As the air fills your lungs realize that it has in it the atomic substance of your Soul. The creative power of Divine Light is now offered to you and available. You can now heal your life on all levels, physical, emotional, and mental through your spiritual unity and integration.

Recognize that the air that you breathe now is infused with the atoms empowered by the Healing Presence of your Soul and the loving grace of the Divine. The particles that make up the air that you breathe have been a part of earth’s atmosphere since the beginning of earth’s cycle of time. The atoms that compose the air you call upon to serve your life were in their life used by every Avatar and Holy One, whoever walked the earth.

Let the miracle of the ancient ones Healing Presence enter your body as a demonstration of grace.

Through the power of your breath, you can be touched by the body of Christ as a manifestation of his healing Presence in the world.

As air moves from your lungs into your circulatory system by the agency of blood, it travels and touches every molecule of your body, every organ in your body, as a force of Prana. As it moves through you, in and around you atomically and molecularly it is healing you, balancing you and infusing you for a full expression of health. This healing is available so that you can move forward from this meditation to fulfill your purpose and do your work in the world.

As your breath circulates through your body and into your circulatory system, visualize every part of your being align with your Soul Light. As you release each breath, you can release your stress. You can let go of emotions that no longer serve you.

You can be peaceful and calm. You can come into the unique gift of this moment of time, choosing to free your body, your mind and your emotions from thoughts, feelings, and fears that have held you back or limited your expression.

Continue to sit quietly and receptively as you ponder and consider the atomic restoration that is available. As with the air, healing atoms circulate through the blood through all of your organs balancing, healing and helping them be restored to complete function and health.

As the breath flows through your heart, imagine it infused with love. Let your breath send the energy on to draw out any toxins from which your body needs purifying. The circulation continues to carry through the cleansing and purifying organs of your liver, spleen, kidneys, and colon. The atoms are infused and charged with Soul Light, Love and Divine Grace with power.

Allow the circulation that occurs both naturally and spontaneously with your breath to be a miracle of healing as you continue to breathe. You are quietly aligning with and infusing the wholeness of your being. This gift is provided for your healing, for your happiness and vitality.

Before you return to your activities, pause and just let yourself breathe in and out deeply one more time, as you let the breath be a healing force in your life.

As you just breathe and relax into the powerful potential to heal your body, your emotions and your mind, realize that you can release anything that is not harmonious and balanced. With another breath, draw in life Prana and Life energy to fill, heal, restore, balance and transform you.

Give thanks for this great blessing of healing that your meditation has created while you paused in your life to “just” breathe.

I recommend that when you do this Breathing Meditation that you follow it by sitting quietly and receptively and record the impressions and thoughts you have received.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Easter Ponderings on Resurrection

Genevieve Gerard

Easter Ponderings on Resurrection

On Easter, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.

There is perhaps no more miraculous event in the story of the life of Jesus than the resurrection. There is perhaps no part of Jesus’s story that fills the human heart with hope and promises more than the resurrection.

The very possibility of resurrection defies the laws of matter as we understand them. Resurrection is the ultimate victory over death. Resurrection is the triumph of spirit over matter. It is a mystery that is beyond our comprehension, and it is a mystery that is not explained in either the Bible or church teachings in any century or denomination. In spite of the inability to understand the miracle of resurrection, the very possibility and promise of it fill the human heart with joy.

During this time while churches across the planet celebrate with the powerful words “He is risen,” “He is risen indeed” it may be valuable to ponder upon what the resurrection says about the life of Jesus and what it says about our spiritual journey and spiritual responsibility. It is all too easy for you to dismiss the lessons of the life of Jesus as unrelated to your life. After all, He was the Son of God. He had an edge that you do not have.

From my very early forays into theology, it has been clear that what Jesus demonstrated in His life, His example and His mission was more than historical stories and miracle stories. These stories were an example and teaching that had relevance for how we were instructed to live our lives, to find our way in the spiritual journey.

There is no greater mystery in the life of Jesus than the miracle of resurrection. Even those of deep and unwavering faith can affirm that the resurrection was real and is real without understanding how it was possible.

I believe even Jesus’s most beloved disciples and the women who went to his tomb on Easter morning, may not have fully understood the resurrection at the time. Thomas, whose very name became associated with doubt, refused to believe in the resurrection unless he placed his hands into the wounds made by the crucifixion. Even though the story tells us, that Jesus was walking and teaching His disciples after his passion.

To understand both the miracle of the Resurrection and what was being demonstrated about the nature of life, we need to expand our understanding of the nature of life itself; and, more importantly, the nature of matter, the nature of consciousness and most importantly, the nature of the Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

In some ways, the event of Resurrection is entirely miraculous, testing and at times transcending our ability to believe. In some ways, the Resurrection is no more miraculous than the event of life itself. I believe to glimpse what Resurrection promises we must expand our understanding of the nature of life to way beyond our usual comprehensions. We must open our awareness to the eternal nature of our Soul, to the great potentiality of consciousness, and stop limiting our thinking to the dense matter of our physical vehicle.

If you are a Christian, think of the Christ, who came not to be served by others but to serve them in joy, in peace, and in generosity. For these things, these are not mere words, but acts, which go all the way, right up to their last breath. Even their death is a gift, and resurrection is born from this kind of death.
– Jean-Yves Leloup

Much that is miraculous, much that is mysterious, becomes possible and more understandable when we assert the fact that although we have a body; we are as a consciousness much more than a body. For the Soul to manipulate the atoms of matter to create a physical body once the material body has deteriorated is a repetition of the events that the Soul engages in to bring into life and substance every child that is born. The principle is the same. It is the consciousness, or particularly the continuity of the consciousness that Christ brought to his resurrected body.

The miracle of life itself and the miracle of the resurrection is entirely under the direction of the Soul. What is to me the most important part of the Passion of Jesus is what it teaches us as spiritual beings about the relationship with our Soul. What Jesus demonstrated that we can use as an example for our own lives was complete obedience to not only the direction of His Soul but perfect obedience to Divine Will.

It is evident in the stories of His suffering in Gesthenemeny that He was coming from two very different perspectives. He was demonstrating both his personal life and His Soul life. Certainly he did not want to be arrested, scourged and crucified from his human perspective. Whether He as a personality knew or fully understood the importance of the next few days of His life is something that theologians will probably be discussing and arguing about for the next 2 thousand years.

What is important and significant is not if he had pre-knowledge of the significance of His sacrifice and all of the magical and mystical ramifications of it. What it seems is important is the obedience to His Soul and God that he demonstrated. That is a lesson that we can strive to achieve in our own lives and our own journey.

What is certainly clear if we examine the life of Jesus is that he was in touch with the direction and promptings of His Soul and through that relationship in an ever growing relationship with God who He came to regard not only as the Source of Love in his life but as His Heavenly Father. He taught us not only that “God is Love,” but also oneness with the Divine as He taught “I and the Father are One.” These are an understanding and awareness that only comes from the Soul. This is an understanding and awareness that is achievable by developing a relationship with your Soul.

It is a magnificent miracle of the human experience that we exist in a dual relationship with our material human body, with our emotions and our thoughts, while we have a Soul which is eternal. These different parts of our nature are revealed and direct our life in different ways. Indeed, learning to identify the prompting of your Soul from the desires of your personality is a big part of the spiritual journey. Learning to call upon and utilize the power of your Soul or the power of the Soul of another in healing is a lesson taught time and time again in the spiritual life, especially when your life is dedicated to others.

It is through surrender to the Soul that the body, emotions, mind, and integrating efforts of the personality can come into awareness of the eternal essence of your being.
– Genevieve Gerard

In my Easter morning ponderings on the resurrection, I find it inescapable to realize that the miracle of resurrection is the secondary result of the surrender to the Soul. It is through surrender to the Soul that the body, emotions, mind, and integrating efforts of the personality can come into awareness of the eternal essence of your being.

Through a relationship with your Soul, especially in the decision to “let the Soul control” is a new awareness of how miracles are created. It is through the time you live and demonstrate the dual life of a disciple that the life and example of Jesus become most edifying and significant. It is through the expanded awareness that life and consciousness are not limited to your physical body that the whole concept of resurrection becomes a real possibility.

While what was demonstrated in the Resurrection remains beyond the strength and determination of most of us at the time of our death, stories are told throughout time of a loved one appearing to communicate after physical death, usually a message of love and reassurance to those they have left behind. If we consider the Resurrection of Jesus one more demonstration, one more instruction about the unlimited possibility and potentiality of life, and we open our hearts and minds actually to consider what all of this means, we are reassured that death has no victory, and the life of the Soul is eternal.

It is by pondering what the Resurrection demonstrated about the truth of life, the nature of life and the eternal nature of life that we are freed from the fears that our limited comprehension fosters.

The possibility and promise that Easter gives, even if we fail to understand it fully, is the joy and assurance that consciousness is eternal. We, as the children of God and the carriers of the spark of the Divine enjoy that eternity as a part of our birthright. In the Resurrection, the life of Jesus once more demonstrated to us, as he did throughout his life, what we truly are. So we celebrate with joy the life and the teachings of this master of enlightenment, pondering what his resurrection teaches us about our life, our own Soul and the awesome potential of our own consciousness. Let there be light!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Create Peace in Your Heart and Mind

Genevieve Gerard

Create Peace in Your Heart and Mind

To be at peace in your heart and mind is a blessing.

One of the primary ways that meditation can influence and enhance your life is by helping you reach a state of peace. The fruits of meditation are a calm mind and inner peace.

The human mind is a busy and very active place. The non-stop chatter of your mind is a powerful factor that impacts your life in a variety of ways. Learning to master the power of your mind affects your life in dynamic and dramatic ways.

Perhaps one of the most tangible benefits of learning to meditate is to begin to develop mastery of the undisciplined chatter of what ancient teachers of meditation have long called the “monkey mind.”

Buddha described the human mind as being filled with drunken monkeys, jumping around, screeching, chattering, and carrying on endlessly. The unfocused mind rambles and chatters. This constant “thought noise” is called (Chitta). It is with the content of your Chitta that many of your life problems are created.

The positive results of learning to quiet and calm the mind of its ceaseless chatter relate to a number of different aspects that impact your life. The ability to reach a state of peace and calm in your mind and with your emotions has significant health implications. This is inner peace.

Inner Peace Creates Peace
– Genevieve Gerard

Just to achieve a calm and peaceful state of mind is formidable. By learning to discipline your mind and your thoughts, you open your life to a mastery that has a far-reaching influence on being successful and achieving your dreams.

Issues as far reaching as how well you cope with and manage your life stress have profound implications for your success in life. How well you can sleep is also related to your ability to gain mastery over the chatter that seems to run continuously in the backdrop of your mind. Achieving peace of mind is a significant factor that relates to how much you enjoy your life. Therefore gaining mastery over your mind and emotions to achieve peace of mind and calmness is important.

One of the most amazing parts of the human mind and one of the most effective results that can be life changing involves an understanding of the creative power and potential of your mind. A basic principle of thought that can either serve you or destroy your wellbeing is that “energy follows thought.”

The principle of energy follows thought is what makes the “Law of Attraction” work to create miraculous results. What it is easy to miss or fail to understand is that thought is a powerful form of energy. When that thought is in the mind of a human being, thought is a primary creative force.

Part of the miracle of humanities creation is that the creator created you to create. As a human being, you are endowed with a spark of Divine Light. That spark of Divinity places you in a cooperative role with God as a co-creator of your life.

Your life has both meaning and a purpose. You as a human being are a beloved child of God. That imbues you with a creative or co-creative power with God. The creative tool that directs the creation of your life is the energy that is generated by your thoughts. You can create peace within you!

That makes what you think important. It is certainly much too important than to be ignored and allowed to run amok creating what you fear and worry about. This is a danger as the undisciplined chatter of your thoughts creates problems and disasters in your life especially when you worry, focusing on what you fear.

Controlling your thoughts and, releasing your fear are the primary components that fuel the wisdom “Change your mind, and you can change your life” – GG

Focusing upon what you fear, what might happen and the tireless self-recriminations that I call the “should have, could have and ought’s” works against you. Because of the powerful emotional charge that is generated by fear, fear can be not only the most limiting thought but also one of the most harmful.

Learning to harness the power of your mind and then to convert your thoughts into a powerful force that works for your benefit and success is one of the most significant advantages of meditation. Ponder on what you can do to still your mind. What I have always found to be amazing is that the reality explored by great spiritual leaders and great business leaders reveal the same truth about the power of thought.

When the yogi starts to meditate, he must leave behind all sensory thoughts and all longings for possessions by quieting the waves of feeling (Chitta), and the mental restlessness that arises therefrom, through the application of techniques that reinstate the controlling power of the untrammeled super consciousness of the soul.
– Paramahansa Yogananda

Your thought need not be mindless chatter that instructs the universe to create what you fear and worry about. You can choose to use the miraculous power of your mind to create the life of your most amazing dreams.

The choice is yours. You can live a life of unlimited possibilities with the potential to achieve as much as you dare to dream, or you can create the disasters you fear through worrying. Of course, that choice is influenced by what you choose to think. It is manipulated by the content of your thoughts and impelled by the energy of those thoughts.

Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.
– Napoleon Hill

Thought Management is so potent and can be so transforming that it can appear to be magic. However, it is grounded in universal principles. This principle that “energy follows thought” and be the most useful instrument you can ever be given to impact your life. Or conversely, can create terrifying limitations and anxiety as you create with your thoughts the disasters and failures that you fear.

I can think of no more practical reason to learn to gain mastery over your Chitta and your fears than the magnetic influence of thought. Throughout the history of thought management, thought leaders and spiritual teachers are amazingly congruent on this point.

I find it both relevant and significant that the business world and the spiritual world are in agreement about how your mind impacts your life.

Of course, as a spiritual teacher, I advocate meditation as the tool to help you gain mastery of your thoughts. However, one of the most effective explanations of this principle was written by a business leader Napoleon Hill in the 1920’s. His book “Think and Grow Rich” explains the principles I am discussing from a business and success model.

In today’s post, I would like to offer you a gift of his book “Think and Grow Rich.” This is a free Adobe PDF of the full book that you can download and ponder on. Although this book is a business tome, I have found it to be a very spiritual guidebook to help you fulfill your Soul or Life purpose.

Making your life as joyous and successful as possible is spiritual work. You can gain wisdom and mastery of your mind through meditation or the tools of success offered by business leaders. Where and how you receive these concepts is unimportant. That you learn and, more importantly, use these principles to empower and enhance your life is a blessing.

I leave you today with this final affirmation quote by the thought leader Louise Hays:

As my mind can conceive of more good, the barriers and blocks dissolve. My life becomes full of little miracles popping up out of the blue.
– Louise L. Hay

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Golden Rule

Genevieve Gerard

The Golden Rule

Not so long ago, the Golden Rule was seen as a guiding principle of right human relations.

It is a very simple basic way of determining behavior toward one another. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is simple. And, it provides a litmus test of what is right and fair in a myriad of situations. Because we all share the experience of our humanity, this rule has guided behavior from schoolyards to the halls of Congress for hundreds of years.

This simple yet profound moral compass pervaded decisions of determining right from wrong in a way that affirmed our unity. Embedded within that quiet determination were principles of responsibility for our interactions that presumed an interrelationship of a community. Inherent in posing the question at a decision-making juncture were absolute values that pervaded our thoughts and determined our interactions with one another down to very mundane and uncomplicated actions.

The very posing of this rule in determining our behavior toward another presumes a valuing of the other on a level of importance that is equal to our importance in life. This very act of valuing the life and experience of another on a par with our own already begins to correct the underlying problem we see in so many of the issues in our modern society –issues that seem to be insurmountable.

As the power of thought and intention are recognized, we find ourselves able to shift our paradigm. We return to considering that this ancient basic rule has far-reaching consequences in how we interact with others and with the world. I was taught that this rule, this “Golden Rule,” comes to us from the “Code of Hammurabi,” from time as ancient as that of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Is it possible that what was once kindergarten wisdom has been lost to our society, to both our danger and our detriment? Take five minutes to consider the world in which we currently find ourselves living, and the many little ways life would be vastly different if those in positions of power and authority put their decisions to this test.

Our Kids Understand The Golden Rule

Consider your family members, your neighbors, your coworkers, your employees, your customers; and think about how your life would be different and changed if, in those regular interactions, you made your decisions based on treating others as you want to be treated. Although the Golden Rule seems both straightforward and simplistic, if we as a society and a world would return to living this ancient wisdom it would have far-reaching consequences, righting much of what seems to be wrong in our modern times.

The principles of right action toward one another are often
simple to see but are not simple to do.
~ Genevieve Gerard

They require a valuing of others and a code of behavior that transcends much of what has in our modern times been elevated to acceptable behavior. Look at all of the damage that greed in business is doing to our world. The fact that there is even a business principle called planned obsolescence speaks to the ways our society has strayed from the logical results of living by the Golden Rule. The medical crisis, the housing crisis, the foreclosure crisis, the education crisis, and the unemployment crisis are just a few of our social problems that would be approached differently if the time-tested evaluations of the Golden Rule were applied.

The moral justifications that are moving away from this simple principle have created a slippery slope. Embracing this Rule once again will lay the groundwork for much of what must change in our society if we are going to thrive and survive into a future in which any of us wishes to live. History has demonstrated time and time again that selfishness and greed do not stop themselves. People must take a stand. They must choose. There is right action in the world and laws that help to maintain balance. This old rule, this Golden Rule, has within it the truth and wisdom to help us transform the world.

To bring the Golden Rule back into the collective thought-form of society has great power. In a civilized society, a principle of how it is right and more importantly how it is wrong to treat others is critical to maintain.

Since the Golden Rule has fallen away from being a standard of behavior that people demand and expect from one another, we have seen a rise in selfishness and greed that is both shameful and shocking. Somehow “looking out for number one” has developed into “it doesn’t matter what I do as long as I get what I want.”

This shift in our countries and our society’s moral compass has led to public servants serving their personal interests instead of considering the greater good of society as a whole. As I write these words, I remember as a child I was taught the quote below.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.
~ Edmund Burke

As truth has become subverted by “spin doctors” selfishness and greed have been dressed up and disguised as success. Somehow those who were entrusted as the guardians of our society have fallen prey to the lies that what is good for business is unfettered freedom, without consideration of how the practices of the business affect the society as a whole. No longer does Wall Street believe that “what is good for Main Street is good for Wall Street.” Somehow, there is the illusion being propagated that what is good for Wall Street is good for the world.

We can look around us and see the disastrous results of this kind of governance. People have lost faith and confidence that the government serves the greater good. Special interests and the interests of only a small percent (the often discussed top 1%) seem to have bought and paid for those who were elected and designed to be the guardians of the people.

As I consider a whole array of society’s dangers from the stripping of the planet of the rainforests to the science of global warming, I realize that the failure to teach this ancient moral code of the Golden Rule has left our world in a dangerous place.

You can look around you and see the disastrous results of our civilization having forgotten this simple moral test. I know that I could create a long list of dangers and problems that seem to stem from this failure to consider the consequences of destroying the nature that has sustained humanity since time immemorial.

Today, as I consider the many problems that cry out for a solution I ask that this ancient simple moral code is brought back into the collective consciousness and conscience.

I ask you to “do unto others as you would like them to do to and for you” in your daily life and interactions with others. I ask that you use the Golden Rule as a standard you demand and expect from those who lead our society.

I call upon every member of Congress, every member of the Senate, local and national, every judge, and every leader of business and industry, to consider their decisions based upon this simple principle of “The Golden Rule” and become agents of the transformation our world requires.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness

Genevieve Gerard

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness?

Recently I saw a quote from the Dalai Lama. He said, “My Religion is very simple, my religion is kindness.” That led me to consider what it would be like if people everywhere practiced kindness.

It takes only a few moments in any situation to see how rare and extraordinary kindness is. Even among friends and families, even while professing to love one another there is often cruelty. In many groups teasing is disguised as affection.

When that is the norm, there is an emotional confusion between what you experience and what you know to be true in your inner self. This confusion leads to misinterpreting what love is.

Is Teasing An Expression of Affection?

Teasing and sarcasm, two partners in cruelty disguised as love or affection are not kind. They often hide mean-spirited anger that is a way of one-upmanship and denigrating and insulting another.

That the cruelty is delivered cleverly or playfully is designed to cover up the meanness. And, the most damaging and harmful part of this way of relating with one another is that the person who is teasing and sarcastic claims to be showing affection. This leaves the target of the teasing and sarcasm disempowered. After all, says the attacker, “I was only teasing or playing.”

The playfulness or cleverness of the cruelty among those who practice this kind of behavior is supposed to render it harmless, but it never does.

This type of interaction still hurts, but the target is deprived of their expression of anger by the meanness being hidden in playfulness, being disguised as wittiness or affection.

What is so difficult about this kind of human interaction is that no matter how witty and clever the sarcastic quip may be, it still hurts. That hurt is real and for you to be told that it is loving attention is confusing. It is easy for a child to create confusion about what love is.

When I was a child teasing was a part of a lot of my interaction with adults. There was one friend of the family who was relentlessly cruel, rarely stopping showing me his so-called affectionate attention until I was in tears. Since he was “only teasing” I was not supposed to get upset. In fact, he often ridiculed me for my tears, teasing me further about crying.

Although I had not thought of this childhood teasing or this adult in many years, I realize now how harmful that “play” was. The most damaging part was not even the content of the teasing. The most damaging part was the LIE that his meanness was an expression of love or affection.

Deep in my heart, even as a very young child, I knew that cruelty was not an expression of love. Still, having the adults around me justified his meanness and created confusion about what it was to love. That was where the real harm was created.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood;
it may be equally outraged by silence.
– Henri Frederic Amiel

Each of us has within us an inner sense of truth and understanding of Right Action. When parents, teachers, or social norms teach something that violates that inner voice, it is very confusing and damaging to a child. A graphic example of this is when a child is abused and told it is love.

Sadly, childhood experiences of teasing or witty sarcasm, often a part of how teenagers interact, create a misunderstanding and confusion about what is loving behavior and what is not.

This confusion can lead to people not stopping abusive behavior especially when it is disguised as playfulness. When cruelty is received at the hands of a loved one, partner, friend, or parent something becomes disconnected. The disguise does not work deep within your heart, yet you may want to believe it is only “in fun.”

What I have observed with most people who use teasing and sarcasm as a way of interacting with others is a wave of underlying anger that peaks through. Since the anger seeps out wrapped in a package of joking it is not possible to confront the feelings honestly and bring them to the light of understanding.

The confusion that is created when you try to accept what is painful and disguised is sometimes called “crazy-making.” That is because of no matter what you are being told you have within you that innate sense of truth. The lie of cruelty instead of kindness will finally be revealed.

This innate sense of truth knows. Ultimately, you cannot lie to yourself.

Scripts People Live Story

I am reminded of a story told by Claude Steiner in his book “Scripts People Live: Transactional Analysis of Life Scripts.“

A Warm Fuzzier Tale by Claude Steiner

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived two happy people called Tim and Maggie with their two children, John and Lucy. To understand how happy they were you have to understand how things were in those days.

You see in those happy days everyone was given a small, soft Fuzzy Bag when born. Anytime a person reached into their bag they were able to pull out a Warm Fuzzy. Warm Fuzzies were very much in demand because whenever someone was given a Warm Fuzzy it made them feel warm and fuzzy all over.

In those days, it was very easy to get Warm Fuzzies. Anytime that somebody felt like it, he might walk up to you and say, “I’d like to have a Warm Fuzzy.” You would then reach into your bag and pull out a Fuzzy the size of a child’s hand. As soon as the Fuzzy saw the light of day it would smile and blossom into a large, shaggy, Warm Fuzzy. When you laid the Warm Fuzzy on the person’s head, shoulder or lap it would snuggle up and melt right against their skin and make them feel good all over.

People were always asking each other for Warm Fuzzies, and since they were always given freely, getting enough of them was never a problem. There was always plenty to go around, and so everyone was happy and felt warm and fuzzy most of the time.

One day an evil witch who made salves and potions for sick people became angry because everyone was so happy and feeling good and no one was buying potions and salves. The witch was ingenious and devised an evil plan. One beautiful morning while Maggie was playing with her daughter the witch crept up to Tim and whispered in his ear,

“See here, Tim, look at all the Fuzzies that Maggie is giving to Lucy. You know, if she keeps it up she is going to run out, and then there won’t be any left for you!”

Tim was astonished. He turned to the witch and asked, “Do you mean to tell me that there isn’t a Warm Fuzzy in our bag every time we reach for it?”

And the witch answered, “No, absolutely not, and once you run out, that’s it. You don’t have anymore.” With this, the witch flew away on a broom, laughing and cackling all the way.

Tim took this to heart and began to notice every time Maggie gave away a Warm Fuzzy. He got anxious because he liked Maggie’s Warm Fuzzies very much and did not want to give them up. He certainly did not think it was right for Maggie to be spending all her Warm Fuzzies on the children and other people.

Tim began to complain or sulk when he saw Maggie giving Warm Fuzzies to somebody else, and because Maggie loved him very much, she stopped giving Warm Fuzzies to other people as often and reserved most of them for him.

The children watched this and soon began to get the idea that it was wrong to give Warm Fuzzies any time you were asked or felt like it. They too became very careful. They would watch their parents closely, and whenever they felt that one of their parents was giving too many Fuzzies to others, they felt jealous and complained and sometimes even had a tantrum.

Even though the children found a Warm Fuzzy every time they reached into their bag they began to feel guilty whenever they gave them away, so they reached in less and less and became more and more stingy with them.

Before the witch, people used to gather in groups of three, four, or five, never caring too much who was giving Warm Fuzzies to whom. After the coming of the witch, people began to pair off and to reserve all their Warm Fuzzies for each other, exclusively. When people forgot to be careful and gave a Warm Fuzzy to just anybody, they worried because they knew that somebody would probably resent sharing their Warm Fuzzies.

People began to give less and less Warm Fuzzies and felt less warm and less fuzzy. They started to shrivel up and, occasionally, people would even die from lack of Warm Fuzzies. People felt worse and worse and, more and more, people went to the witch to buy potions and salves even though they didn’t seem to work.

Well, the situation was getting far-reaching indeed. The evil witch who had been watching all of this didn’t want the people to die (since dead people couldn’t buy his salves and potions), so a new plan was devised.

Everyone was given, free of charge, a bag that was very similar to the Fuzzy Bag except that this one was cold while the Fuzzy Bag was warm. Inside of the witch’s bag was Cold Pricklies. These Cold Pricklies did not make people feel warm and fuzzy; in fact, they made them feel cold and prickly instead. But the Cold Pricklies was better than nothing and they did prevent peoples’ backs from shriveling up.

So, from then on, when somebody asked for a Warm Fuzzy, people who were worried about depleting their supply would say, “I can’t give you a Warm Fuzzy, but would you like a Cold Prickly instead?”

Sometimes, two people would walk up to each other, thinking that maybe they could get a Warm Fuzzy this time, but one of them would change his mind, and they would wind up giving each other Cold Pricklies instead. So, the result was that people were not dying anymore, but a lot of people were miserable and felt frigid and prickly indeed.

The situation got very complicated since the coming of the witch because there were fewer and fewer Warm Fuzzies around and Warm Fuzzies which used to be free as the air became treasured.

This caused people to do all sorts of things to get Warm Fuzzies. People who could not find a generous partner had to buy their Warm Fuzzies and had to work long hours to earn the money.

Some people became “famous” and got a lot of Warm Fuzzies without having to give any back. These individuals would then sell their Warm Fuzzies to people who were “unpopular” and needed them to feel that life was worth living.

Another thing which happened was that some people would take Cold Pricklies–which were everywhere and freely available and coated them white and fluffy so that they almost looked like Warm Fuzzies. These fake Warm Fuzzies were really Plastic Fuzzies, and they caused additional problems.

For instance, two or more people would get together and freely give each other Plastic Fuzzies. They expected to feel good, but they came away feeling bad instead. People got very confused never realizing that their cold, prickly feelings were because they had been given a lot of Plastic Fuzzies.

So the situation was very, very dismal and it all started because of the coming of the witch who made people believe that someday when least expected, they might reach into their Warm Fuzzy Bag and find no more.

Not long ago, a young woman with big hips came to this troubled land. She seemed not to have heard about the bad witch and was not worried about running out of Warm Fuzzies. She gave them out freely, even when not asked. They called her the Hip Woman and disapproved of her because she was giving the children the idea that they should not worry about running out of Warm Fuzzies. The children liked her very much because they felt good around her and they began to follow her example giving out Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it.

This made the grownups anxious. To protect the children from depleting their supplies of Warm Fuzzies they passed a law. The law made it a criminal offense to give out Warm Fuzzies in a reckless manner or without a license. Many children, however, seemed not to care; and in spite of the law, they continued to give each other Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it and always when asked. Because they were many, many children, almost as many as grownups, it began to look as if maybe they would have their way.

As of now it’s hard to say what will happen. Will the grownups’ laws stop the recklessness of the children?

Are the grownups going to join with the Hip Woman and the children in taking a chance that there will always be as many Warm Fuzzies as needed?

Will they remember the days their children are trying to bring back when Warm Fuzzies were abundant because people gave them away freely?

The struggle spread all over the land and is probably going on right where you live. If you want to, and I hope you do, you can join by freely giving and asking for Warm Fuzzies and being as loving and healthy as you can.

Kindness can be described as a warm fuzzy. Like the warm fuzzy you know when you have received kindness.

As you considered the Dalai Lama’s statement that “his religion is kindness,” take some time to think what that would mean if everyone practiced kindness. I am sure it would make the world a better place. Imagine for a minute what the world would be like if everyone made a religion of kindness.

I would like to see kindness become contagious to epidemic proportions around the world. I encourage you to let kindness and compassion guide your actions and all of your relationships.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Feeling Love on Valentine’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Feeling Love on Valentine’s Day

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

All across the world on Valentine’s Day people celebrate love. They celebrate love in its many forms, but most of all they celebrate romantic and intimate love. They celebrate desire, passion and all of the fantasies that have been quietly nourished in the heart of what it means to love and to be loved.

This expression of Love was captured by the poet Robert Frost when he said:

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
– Robert Frost

I have often written about love, but as I review my body of work I note that I focus more on the essence of love than upon romantic or erotic love. Still, in the adventure of life, we are given the opportunity to learn about life, and that means to learn about love.

Romantic love, or as the ancient Greeks called it erotic love, laced with passion and desire is necessary for all that it teaches about life. There are life lessons about love that can best and perhaps only be learned through romantic love. It is to celebrate that passion, that joy, and that sense of wonder that Valentine’s Day is celebrated throughout the world.

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
– Franklin P. Jones

During this Valentine’s Day experience, let romantic love, with its intensity of yearning for union with a beloved, teach you about all love in a powerful way that allows you to comprehend the meaning of Union of Souls. It is a demonstration of deeper truths that you might never discover if it were not for the passion and promise that falling in love delivers.

When you fall in love may be the very first time you have been able to reach beyond yourself to consider the needs and desires of another. Life, with its infinite wisdom, rewards you with joyful celebration when you make that important step. Passion, fulfillment, and satisfaction are granted as you learn how to merge your needs and desires in cooperation with another.

What would otherwise be a painful life lesson of sacrifice can become a beautiful expression of joy. To express love, to be generous, to strive to give your beloved what they wish and desire, all provides you with the opportunity to reach beyond the limitations of yourself. Not only is that step rewarded, but it can also be experienced, enjoyed and celebrated on all levels of your being.

At times, I have pondered the incredible miracle of romantic love and sex for the way that it transforms our life from aloneness and a sense of separation and alienation to a demonstration that we are not alone. Also, most amazing is that the fruit of having loved is the realization that we are aware of eternity. Ponder on this.

By loving we are transformed, changed and given the opportunity to be our true self, our best self.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
– Barbara de Angelis

It is perhaps to help us learn and grow that God blessed us with the passion of erotic love, for love expands your heart with compassion and generosity.

Love is a force upon which you can anchor your life. It seems to grow miraculously and develop until you realize that through your love for another you have learned to not only love one another but also to love others. You have come to love life and with your appreciation of what love you have been given you see a world of wonder. You see the world where blessings can come to you when you least expect it.

Once you had loved and been truly loved nothing is ever the same as it was before you were loved. What is most strange and miraculous about this transforming experience is the way that it changes you and changes your life.

The “happily ever after” myths and, “happy endings” of Hollywood’s stories imply that the story goes on and on. And, certainly in life sometimes it does. The happily ever after is not what is most important. What is most important is that you have known what it is to love. Your life has been touched, changed and transformed by love.

The real miracle is that you have received and given love. Somehow, that warms you, nourishes and restores you in your darkest moments. It caresses and calms you and fills you with peace and joy. Having given love and having received the love you have been enfolded in a moment of eternity that is in some mysterious way beyond space and outside of time.

True love is less about the outcome and more about having opened your heart, your mind and your Soul to love. Having loved, you touched eternity. Having loved you created in this particular span of years something that is endless and timeless.

It is ironic to me that when I begin writing about romantic love and erotic love I find myself uncontrollably led to talk about love as the endless, eternal expression. Having noticed this, I find myself wondering and pondering upon how erotic and romantic love ends up being eternal love.

What I realized in thinking about and considering love is that sexual love and romantic love is a portal to love. Once you cross that portal, once you let yourself transcend the selfishness, the exclusive self-awareness that you are you, and I am I, into the unity and unification that loving brings everything changes.

And it changes not just for the moments of passion and sex, but it changes everything. And it is for that reason I call it a portal. It is a portal that it seems that once crossed cannot be re-entered. It is a great mystery in my life that having deeply loved someone; I have never stopped loving them.

That may be inconvenient, especially when life and circumstances converge so that you are no longer with the person you loved. And sadly in today’s world of relationships, that may be challenging.

Yet, with the understanding that the “it” is the lesson and experience of love, that makes the difference. It is the change you can undergo because of having loved that is important. Perhaps that grants a different perspective that helps you avoid the need and attachment that interferes with you experiencing love.

To love, by its very nature, requires transcending that need an attachment that so often disguises itself as romantic love. Loving another requires moving from loving them because you need them, to needing them because you love them. Ponder on this. That shift and transition are significant. However, it also puts you in direct conflict with the fact that loving someone makes you want what is best for him or her.

I recently saw the quote below that I would like you to ponder. Today, in celebration of love and dedication to love on Valentine’s Day, I share it with you.

Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering.

But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s Plenty.”
– Courtney A. Walsh

As you go through your life’s adventure, I encourage you to open to and explore love in all of its beautiful and glorious forms. Open your heart and celebrate love as a celebration of life.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Namaste,

Genevieve
