It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ~~ Antoine Saint Exupery, The Little Prince
Things aren’t always what they seem. Conditions and appearances may cloud our vision of the absolute truth of the life we are to experience. Leading us to form opinions and draw conclusions based upon the compelling but perhaps erroneous information that, at first glance, may appear as absolute reality.
When we view situations solely through intellectual processes, we might be led to making harsh judgments by using rigid and inflexible rules we have been taught and come to regard as law. This process may serve us in making simple decisions but reason must be tempered by the love, spirit and compassion that reside within each of us.

It takes courage to look at our lives honestly. Really, it does – most of the time we just talk ourselves into being satisfied with the norm. But then at the most pivotal moments in our life something happens. There is a rumbling from some unknown place within us that tells us more of the same isn’t an option. We have a flash that there is something greater. We sense something brighter and have a taste or an inkling of a life that is more real and more fulfilling than the one we are currently living. We have caught a vision for our life.

You loving you. Wow, what a concept. Instead of waiting for the special someone to love you – how about you loving you. Does this sound like you? Do you deflect compliments?

All we need is love, love, love… love is all we need – John Lennon
Love is the most powerful force on the planet. It is the one thing that heals all things and is the very essence of who are are. No matter what the question love is always the answer. We live in a culture that tempts us to look outside ourselves for love, but love is what we must bring to the party. We can never find in the external world what does not exist within us.

Who is your Valentine? With today being Valentine’s Day, where are you looking for love and what exactly is love to you? Is it something that can be given or taken away? Behind anything we want, there’s a feeling that’s desired. When it comes to love, we often look to people, animals, nature and things, which are one way to experience love.

Love is perhaps the most universally recognized and most frequently misinterpreted of our spiritual powers or abilities. This is mainly because most people have a human interpretation of love rather than a divine interpretation. Most people equate love with an emotion. However, love is not an emotion; Love is a spiritual faculty or ability that is expressed through the feeling nature, just as emotions are. Many times, Love is surrounded by our emotions to the point where we have confused it with emotion. Therefore, there is the mistaken idea that love includes turbulence and stress. This is not true. Emotion can include turbulence and stress, but NOT love.

It is said that there is a very fine line between LOVE and hate. That is true if you are dealing with the worlds’ concept of LOVE, which is ownership rather than sufficiency. Many people believe themselves to be empty of LOVE. They then look for someone to LOVE them to fill the void. This creates attachment and whenever you are attached to someone and are depending upon them for your good, then you either hate or you LOVE in a leaning way. Attachment is not LOVE. “Dependency Is Not LOVE”.

To remind you plain and simple Authenticity is about being yourself, your Best Self, at all times, in all circumstances, with everyone. You are the only one who is best at being you, so stop trying to be like someone else or what others want you to be so you can fit in. I once heard someone say, “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”

The wildest part of this journey called life is the drive to discover this thing called YOU. It can prove to be the most painstaking process, yet exhilarating and expansive. This month we prepare to move into the exploration of the principle Authenticity. We endeavor to ponder deeply what practicing Authenticity means in our lives. I was knocked over the head while reading an article online recently, in fine prints, it read “you don’t go around trying to prove to other people who you are” and my inner voice continued “just be”.
