“I deeply believe that we each have our own, very special form of Love to manifest. It’s what we came to do, and if we lived that manifested Love, the way we see the world would change completely!
Notice how I didn’t say, “by manifesting Love we could change the world completely”? Changing the world is never my goal. Did you just gasp? Shouldn’t every helpful “spiritual person” want to change the world? My guess? Nah.
My job is to change my view of the world to live in a way not separated from Love; to live in manifested Love; and to shine it so brightly everywhere, that all those ideas about our separateness fade in that brightness.
Remembering the Love that we are is what gives us the power to change our world, from the inside out, where the power always is.”
