WHAT IS DIVINE LOVE???

by Pura Isham

What is Divine Love? Every thought, every feeling which does not vibrate love clouds understanding, and takes you further away from Spirit. Spirit is joy, is life, is the breath and movement of creation. Divine Love is Light, is Abundant, is Infinite, is Incorruptible, is Boundless. It is a cord, a stream of Light/Energy that is always available to the Divine Self of who you are.

Divine Love experiences joy whenever you awaken to its Radiance. This joy, and this radiance merging and pausing and merging again and again gives you, the awakened one, the realization, the awareness that you are Divinely loved. You also realize that in you exists the Divine and Love, and that there is no one wthout the Other just as there is no YOU without The Divine and no Love without YOU.

Pura Isham is a student of spirituality, metaphysics and esoteric subjects. As a very inquisitive person, Pura has been studying these areas for many years, most recently with her teacher, Mario C. Veo. We thank her for the inspiration she is to us, and letting us peek through this window to her personal spiritual path.

SAILING THE STARS

by Drusant

The sailors of old with their masted ships would look to the sea and ask what was out there beyond their vision. Those sailors did become greater than their containment and they were pushed along in their quest by their imaginations. The sailors became greater than their accepted limits of boundaries.

We look to the moon and the stars at night although we may feel restricted by our physical form. It is our imagination that will push us to sail beyond those seas. Our soul looks beyond the stars as if we wish to venture into a new territory. The stars encourage us to navigate the many dreams of possibility. We are truly greater than that which we see and we are truly greater than the limits of this material reality.

When we are capable of stretching into the borders of the cosmos by our thoughts, then by definition, we have the capacity to exceed the telescopes or the masted sails of spacecraft. In other words, we are truly greater than we can possibly imagine and we can exceed that which we perceive.

Put your soul’s eye into the center of the revolving galaxy and tell me what you see. Put your soul into understanding and tell me what you feel.

WHO ARE YOU...REALLY???

by Mario C. Veo

I have always been fascinated by Power and Empowerment…especially once I realized that most of us haven’t a clue!

We drift through Life mesmerized by all that is noisy and shiny, without realizing that it is all designed to use up our Time and Energy…until one day we wake up and wonder where did it all go…and…is it too late now…? What happened to ‘The True One’ – that wonderful Soul Mate that so I yearned for…the Great Job that would fulfill me, and be my valued contribution to society…the Wonderful Family that would openly love and appreciate me, without condemnation and criticism…and those True Friends that will walk with me through Life, so I could share Laughter and Joy.

You may well ask: “Are these things possible?“…or are they Romantic Illusions created by starry-eyed idealists…? Reality check – “when most marriages end in divorce, is there True Love…?”

So, I went searching for the answers, and what I found amazed me – Yes, without question, all this IS both True AND Freely Available…however, there is a small catch: You must first discover who you really are…!

You see, the World is not fixed and rigid…there is no ‘One Answer fits All’…and so it is your own Inner Truth that guides you to Success, to Joy, to Fulfillment…and ONLY by realizing this can you awaken a little known Inner Resonance which will automatically and magnetically draw to you all you most desire – in a way that is health, balanced, and rewarding.

And so, I dedicate this month to the exploration of these Energies – both good and bad – so that YOU can be in Choice…and know what you can do to Live Joyfully…or not…as you wish!
