I have worked with children of all ages and I am also a parent. It occurred to me one day as I was speaking that the things that we say to our children are the same things that God says to us every day in one form or another.
 
We depend on God for love, comfort, support, guidance and answers. We depend on God to console us when we are sad, to calm us when we are angry, to give us security when we are fearful and to give us peace when we are stressed.
 
“Love is understanding that each element is contributing to each element and that all are created equally in God's eyes. That God is in each and each is a part of God.”

What God says that we say to our children:

Actually, the original, full title of this article is, “Yes, I'm Spiritual, You Idiot!”: The Art of Balancing a Spiritual Life with Your Physical Life. I thought that this title is a pretty accurate illustration of the reality of this life for most having this human experience. You know you are a part of something greater and you seek to connect with it, but it can be quite difficult to maintain it. 

You may read books that inspire a spiritual awakening, remind you to be mindful, help you to accept yourself and the moment, or understand the power of your thoughts. These books do help to bring you into the energy of amazing grace and greater joy, but then, as many say, "life happens." 

Someone cuts you off while driving, your kids push your buttons, your boss makes you feel undervalued, and suddenly all that “Zen” you felt goes out the window and you are calling someone a jerk or yelling at your kids. You've "lost it." 

But did you really lose that spiritual connection? Where and why did it go? You know that you are a "spiritual 

Unpublished Session from Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World

Wednesday, September 8, 1982 Session 233
This is a Wise One.
I Am That I Am.
I am the truth.
I am that which exists in all.
I am the light.
I am the creator of all.
I am the lover of all.
I am the Christ.
I am the Buddha.
I am all that is truth.
I am Love.
Love is a part and a seed of all.
Love is that which binds all.
We are one. I am the All.

Patiently I wait for the each to understand that they are no more or less than the All.

Patiently, I understand that which is of me is infinite.

Patiently with love I wait for the atonement.

Patiently with love, compassion, understanding, I wait for the resurrection, patiently with patience, with love, with understanding, I wait at the separation of end and the truth to manifest.

I Am the truth. I Am the light, when love is given freely without expectations; when love is lived with truth and wisdom; when love is that which one seeks to give, then the separation ceases and atonement begins.

Part of the purpose of all souls is to understand the three supreme truths of love, thought and free will. Each is its own separate truth and gift, yet they can’t function or be of benefit without the other. And upon entering this life, you are forged with these three gifts to experience, understand, utilize and ultimately to empower you to create the life of your choosing.

The Gift of Love
Love Functions and Guides.

Love is at the seed of who and what you are. You are a part of the light of pure divinity. And this light is the radiant, omnipotent light of love. This love the foundation that functions and guides your life here and now, and beyond this life; and understanding, even a fraction of, what this love is and how it directly benefits your life, can completely shift your perspective and open up your connection to the answers and guidance that you may seek. 

So then, how does one “understand” love? There is no one answer, but a place to begin is through gratitude. Through gratitude, there is an inherent acceptance of the divine love to which you are infinitely connected. Through gratitude, you don’t have to “understand” love to allow it to work miracles in your life. Through thoughts, actions and feelings of gratitude, you effortlessly allow the love from which you were created to function and guide your life. 

Understanding love is reaching within and expressing without, that love forged upon each, freely giving to all. - Monday, February 1, 1982, Session 106

The Gift of Thought
“Thought” Creates.

“Thought” can be both powerful and empowering. Thoughts can either work for you or hold you back from the learning, growing and fulfilling of what you must do in this life for the evolution of your soul and for the pure enjoyment of living in this life.

Thoughts are powerful; they create each experience and, in fact, make each experience what it is. Like-thoughts attract. Positive loving thoughts grow, and conversely, negative thoughts attract negative thoughts and negative energy.  Thoughts take on a life of their own and “live” within you, even beyond this life. So, if you carry a negative thought vibration and never release it or resolve it, once you leave this life, the energy of that thought still remains within you and will be carried to the next experiences of learning.

The sooner you can harness the power of your thoughts in a way that they become of complete service to you, the better, and more empowered you will be. The empowerment comes when “thought” is a mere tool to living out a life filled with purpose and in the joy of creating.

“In understanding that thought creates all, a major step in creating is reached.” Notebook #17, Page 5

The Gift of Free Will
Free Will Expresses.

In the spiritual sense, free will is a truth you are forged with upon coming into this life. Free will is an enormous gift. You can create any reality and make any moment what you desire through choice and expression, through action. And conversely, you have the free will to make choices that are not of your highest benefit. The empowerment that comes from this gift of free will is when you begin to understand that this free will is really an opportunity for you to make wholly beneficial conscious decisions based on the foundation, or the seed, of love. When you do this, you lovingly combine the highest aspects of who you are and your divine journey, with your personal life in form in this Earth experience.

Given that thought creates, free will expresses and love is the foundation that functions and guides, you have all that you need, in companionship with divine guiding presence, to create a life that is fulfilling you—the personality living out this life—and your soul.

The justice that each possess is the love of God that through forged free will all will individually and collectively create their destiny and path to the truth. The truth is that love is the seed of all creation, of all being, of all. - Notebook #23, Page 15

“Patience is love. Patience is understanding. Patience is accepting that all things in the evolution of the soul are infinite existence of God. Patience is giving and receiving with love, living and believing in love.” Except from Chapter 1 – Love; Notebook #35 Page 15, LoveistheSeed.com

The Meaning of Patience
The meaning of patience in Spirit and as Soul is more than just that ‘thing’ that we try to have more of. Patience is connected to love, understanding, acceptance and faith. In this Earthly life, it comes into play when we want something and yet no control over the timing of it and/or no control over another. Patience comes into play when the present moment is not what we would like it to be.

We all would like to think of ourselves as patient. We all know that we should be more patient, yet in this current world of instant gratification and answers at our fingertips, patience is a quality that now takes more practice. It takes...work.

Patience can be something as simple as waiting in a store line with only one cashier and three people ahead of you with what looks to be their months-worth of groceries. And patience is as complex as a woman who desires so badly to have a child, yet after months or years of trying, has yet to conceive, or conceives and then loses the pregnancy, and wonders when her “time” will be. In both situations, it is the timing of the desired outcome that is unknown and that leaves us devoid of patience that we once had.

A Test of Faith 
In the samples above, we must have faith. There must be faith that we will still be able to accomplish everything on our daily wish list despite having to wait in line, and for the woman, there must be faith that there is a "right timing" to conceive and an acceptance not knowing what that timing is.

So where does this leave us? Are we simply to surrender to this moment of feeling unfulfilled or angry or agitated? Well, yes — to some degree. If the circumstances presented are beyond our control, then we must find a way to accept it, or at least distract ourselves from the unfulfilled or agitated feelings that arise from the undesired present moment. 

Patience as a Gift
When we run short on patience, negative emotions arise that in no way serve us. It is an opportunity though, a gift, to empower us to regain patience — to bring us back to that love, understanding and acceptance to which Spirit calls us back. When we are patient, there is a gentle stillness within that benefits our body and mind and benefits our direct surroundings. You will see this working in your life as it becomes easier to maintain patience.

Children are great gifts to help us practice. Whether they are 4 years old and insist on doing just one more thing before leaving the house — and that's after 15 minutes of trying to persuade them to put on their shoes, or whether they are 16 years old and have just done something completely against common sense, they are a gift because they allow us to practice patience, which serves us beyond our expectations when we give it a chance.

So, how then does one practice having more patience and begin to transform one’s life for the better?

• One way is to begin by being mindful of your breath. The breath in, mindfully invite a solution – without trying to think of what that solution is – and on the breath out release tension building up from within. This is just a starting point. You will likely still feel the tension of impatience but allow your breath to begin to bring calm.
• Bring more understanding or empathy of others in the same situation (think back to the waiting in line example) and/or bring compassion to yourself. Compassion, empathy and love for self and others are foundational qualities from which we are all created and are a natural part of us as soul and benefit our lives exponentially.
• Accept your circumstances and live out a solution that is of best service to you and/or others. Know your options in any given situation and be creative with the solution. We always have a choice and the free will to change the circumstances within our control.
