"The Greatest Of These Is Love"

I think it's important that we all understand something about life. We can get into all the depth, analyzing and "trying to figure out" all the details and intricacies about why this happened, how that happened, why something else didn't happen and what might happen at some in the future.

But all the details really don't matter at all when we choose to grasp and understand the power and deeper meaning behind some timeless wisdom that I've found to ALWAYS hold true...regardless.

And that wisdom clearly states...

"The Greatest of These is Love."

I've found over the years that a number of people, whether in personal empowerment, metaphysical and/or spiritually focused circles...myself included at one point...develop very dis-empowering perceptions with regard to fear.

Perhaps the biggest reason is due to the fact that once they've been exposed to and develop the understanding that we live in a vibratory Universe, it's quite common to get into the mindset that fear is a "bad thing."

The end result in many cases, is that we come to the place that we "fear" falling into and experiencing "fear."

It's no wonder though. There are a number of teachers today professing to have all the answers about what's necessary to attract and experience harmonious and fulfilling lives. And a number of those "teachers" are teaching that it's necessary...crucial in fact that we avoid and eliminate fear from our lives.

They claim that since we each attract events, conditions, circumstances, people, etc. to us based on our individually chosen projection of energy and that this energy projected is determined by our predominant beliefs, thoughts and emotional state, that we should eliminate fear from our lives

I say nonsense.

Although I have come to believe based on personal experience that whatever way of being that we choose for ourselves...meaning that the predominant thoughts and emotions that we choose and "allow" ourselves to engage in and experience do attract to us outcomes that harmonize perfectly with that choice, at the same time there's an overlooked aspect concerning vibration, attraction and the creative process as a Whole that many don't consider or understand.

A very important aspect.

That's the fact that Love overrides and overpowers fear. It's Love that determines both the seen and as well as the "unseen" aspects of existence and it's due to this same Love that fear is enabled to exist at all.

There are 2 ways to look at and experience fear...

1. From a physical perspective, fear is a necessary, vital and integral part of our lives. An essential part. Without some form of fear, our "physical bodies" wouldn't last long.

2. From a mental, emotional, metaphysical and /or spiritual level, fear is a way of being designed to assist us to learn, grow and move us back into the place where we recognize the all encompassing nature of Love.

And that's what's MOST important to realize and understand. Because Love plays a much greater role than many "allow themselves" to see.

All this emphasis on avoiding, escaping, dispelling and overcoming fear only serves to place unnecessary focus on fear "allowing" it to grow and dominate our lives. In essence it's choosing to place focus on what we "don't want" which can create additional resistance which only serves to draw to ourselves more of what we "don’t want."

I don't care what anyone "claims" as being true, if you're human you ARE going to experience fear. The key to experiencing a harmonious and fulfilling life has NOTHING to do with keeping your predominant focus on "Overcoming Fear" or "avoiding fear" or "eliminating fear" and everything to do with developing an understanding of and choosing to keep your predominant focus on Love. Doing so enables and empowers you to move through whatever fear we might face and experience.

The fact of the matter is, Love is the dominant "Force" that created anything and everything that we experience...even the occasional polarity/duality that we each face in life. Love is the immutable and unwavering Essence that governs and oversees anything and everything that happens in both the Newtonian world of shape and form as well as the "spiritual realm" or if you prefer the "unseen, metaphysical, and/or quantum realm."

While it's true that in the physical world, polarity is a reality...a necessary reality...all of this polarity prior to being made physical is overshadowed and derived from the "Ultimate Reality"...what I personally choose to refer to as "Actuality" which is Love.

"Unconditional Love."

If the term "Unconditional Love" is a bit too warm and fuzzy for you, it can also be viewed and referred to as an uncaring field of energy that does without fail, attract to you, harmonious frequencies based on what you project through your emotional responses OR reactions.

Granted, it can be difficult to see that at times when, through our choices we allow our "Human Selves" to determine and as a result dominate our emotional states based on what we see and experience in the world around us. Yet at the same time it's this same Love that has provided us with the inalienable right of free will to choose to think, be and do as we choose which in turn determines the kind and quality of what we'll "attract" to ourselves in our individual journey as we experience this physical world of polarity and duality.

This inalienable right of free will enables us to make moment by moment choices each of them falling under one of two categories, one being that of reacting and the other responding. (Choosing Love or fear as our point of focus)

It's quite easy to become "reactive" rather than "responsive" when we allow our physical eyes to dictate what's real and right and true. Based on and due to what's going on in the world around us, when these occurrences are something other than what we consciously desire to experience, fear often becomes the predominant focus.

It can and often does, due to a lack of deeper understanding or in some cases due to occasionally "forgetting" what we've come to know and understand regarding the "Underlying and often overlooked "Cause" of what creates ALL of these physical occurrences, put us in the place of "allowing" ourselves to fall into a state of fear and resistance.

Although we can (and many do) find ourselves "fearing the fear", I've also come to believe, based on a number of "personal experiences" that many would label as "miraculous", that fear is a necessary, normal and quite natural thing. It's beneficial in fact and when understood for what it is and "allowed" to be OK...when accepted as a normal, natural and necessary part of our lives...we find without fail that fear is overridden by the "Ultimate Reality" which always reveals itself as Love when we choose to keep our attention and focus on Love.

Fear isn't something that can be escaped from. It's ingrained within us. It's a part of what we are. It serves a useful and necessary purpose. It keeps us safe. It keeps us out of harms way. Granted, it can be and often times is abused and misused for sure, but ultimately it serves a very specific and definitive purpose.

I also know based on personal experience, that when a strong projection of consciously or unconsciously focused Love is present...fear doesn't stand a chance of attracting and creating whatever it might be that is being feared.

To be more specific, when our underlying intention is an intention of Love, it doesn't matter what we choose to do or focus on. Love always wins.

I'll use the following "personal experience" to support my perspective and hopefully convey in the clearest and simplest way I'm able, just how "true" that is...

It's an experience that started my journey toward discovering and understanding in an intellectual kind of way, the power and the deeper meaning behind the fact that "The Greatest of These Is Love" always holds true...unconditionally.

A little over 21 years ago, at the age of around 1 week old, my oldest son began experiencing some health complications. He began losing rather than gaining weight. For those of you familiar with babies, you know that a 1 week old baby losing weight isn't a "good" thing. In fact it's a very serious and dangerous thing.

Basically what the problem was is that he was unable to drink his formula. It would take him 2 to 3 hours to drink a half ounce or so of formula and within minutes he would expel it in a violent manner. Over the next few weeks we made several trips to the doctors office and were provided various "fixes"...namely a regimen of pharmaceutical drugs, none of which took care of the "problem."

One evening he wasn't doing well at all and my wife at the time and I made the choice to take him to the local emergency room. The medical staff on duty that evening ran all their tests, made their diagnosis and we were told that surgery was going to be necessary.

The diagnosis was "Severe GE Reflux" and the necessary procedure as they explained was to perform surgery which entailed taking muscles from his lower stomach region and wrapping his esophagus with those muscles to strengthen his digestive tract.

For those of you who have children, you understand what that kind of news can do to your emotional state. I suppose you could call it a flurry of "less than desired" emotion. One of those that stood out at the time was "fear."

Anyway the medical staff began talking about signing consent forms etc. etc. They were talking about a lot of things actually many of which are a blur. Although I don't know why, I was hesitant to listen and/or buy into what seemed inevitable. Something kept me from making a "reactive decision" in that moment and I hesitated in agreeing to any form of surgery. I might add that it wasn't a very popular hesitation either.

In fact my wife of the time and I had quite a falling out because of my apprehension at that moment to agree that performing the procedure was necessary to resolve the issue.

After some debate with both my wife and my sons caregivers I told everyone that I needed some time by myself to think.

Quite honestly, I didn't know what I was going to think about, the situation and the remedy "seemed" obvious and unchangeable. But I certainly wasn't crazy about my then 3 week old son undergoing this type of procedure. I suppose at the time I was just delaying and maybe even denying what I "knew" or should I say what I thought I knew at that moment to be inevitable.

I knew that there was nothing that I could personally do, yet at the same time I had this deep seeded feeling of apprehension about agreeing to what I was being told was necessary and allowing my son to undergo such a serious procedure.

Apprehension is actually an understatement...I found myself in a state of fear. Serious fear with a mix of anxiety, wonder, empathy, compassion and as any Dad who Loves his family does, an unshakable form of Unconditional Love for my son.

After much prodding, question asking and some debate with doctors, nurses, physical therapists and my wife, I asked...actually I demanded that EVERYONE leave the room where they were treating my son. I suppose at the time I just needed some time to sort through my emotions and collect my thoughts.

When they left I locked the door and began thinking about what I was going to do. Within a few minutes I came to the realization that there was nothing at all that I could do. Not something that I could personally do that would "fix the problem" at least.

I was just a welder for God's sake. What could I possibly do to fix this? Although I had determined that there was nothing I could do, at the same time I also knew that I didn't want my son to have to go through what "appeared" at the time to be inevitable.

Up to that point I was always one of those macho "I'll fix it for you...I can do anything" type of guys. But in this particular instance I came to the realization that there wasn't a damn thing I could do to "fix things." In fact, it dawned on me that in this situation I was totally helpless based on my understanding of what was possible and "knew" to be true at the time. Although this helpless state wasn't a place that I was used to or "liked" being in...in this case, what I liked was immaterial.

And where I found myself in that moment was in a state of fear, confusion combined with complete and total helplessness.

Although at that moment I didn't and couldn't see any "good or beneficial" thing arising from feeling fearful, anxious and helpless, little did I know at the time that coming to that place would prove to be the best and most beneficial thing that could have ever happened.

Here's why...

Finding myself in this helpless, fearful and confused situation and for lack of knowing any other action to take, I did the only thing I could think of. Alone in this room with my son, I knelt down beside the little incubator type bed they had placed him in and did the best thing I knew at that time to do. I began praying. It was a different kind of prayer than I'd ever prayed before. In fact, I think it's safe to say that it was the the most earnest and "heartfelt" prayer I had ever prayed in my life.

Although I didn't consider myself to be a "religious or spiritual guy" at all at that time, I just didn't know what else to do.

I reiterate that as I did so, I was terrified. I was anxious, confused and Full of fear.

It seemed like only a few moments had passed, but once done, I got up off my kness, looked at the clock and realized I'd been praying for almost 30 minutes. Although a little calmer internally, I was still quite shook up and the intense fear still filled me as I thought about making the decision that "I just knew" was inevitable since my actions didn't "appear" to have changed anything. In fact I was ready to agree to sign the consent forms.

Reluctantly, after a few more minutes of processing what I "perceived" as being "obvious and apparent" and deciding that allowing the procedure was the "best and right thing" to do, I unlocked the door and called the staff and my wife back into the room.

I don't remember verbatim what was said but I do remember telling them I was ready to agree to whatever was necessary and sign the necessary forms. But for some reason before signing, I recall asking the physical therapist if she'd bring me a bottle of formula. I'm not sure why other than the fact that I wanted to make absolutely certain that what I was getting ready to agree to, was necessary.

At that moment I had decided that it was.

I might also add that my praying wasn't done with any form of "knowing" or expectation of resolving the issue. I didn't have any firm "belief" at the time that doing so would "fix" anything. Quite honestly I can't tell you why I chose to do that with the exception of feeling completely helpless and not knowing what else to do at the time.

A few minutes after asking, the physical therapist returned and handed me a bottle of formula. As I held my son and put the nipple in his mouth...to my amazement as well as the amazement of everyone else who was present, my son began "gulping down" the formula like he never had before. In fact he sucked down all 4 ounces of the formula in a matter of just a few minutes.

That little guy was hungry!!

Everybody just kind of looked at each other, speechless. We waited a while to make sure that he held it down. He did and needless to say I didn't sign any consent forms and after a short period of time we walked out of the hospital that night and took my son home.

I do recall the staff recommending and writing some prescriptions, which we got filled and gave my son as instructed.

The enormity of the event that night hadn't yet fully settled in.

That experience in and of itself was profound enough, but what would happen a few days later is REALLY what made me weak in the knees and enabled me to "know" beyond the shadow of a doubt what had happened.

You'd think I would "know" already but as we humans often do, we often begin to question and rationalize what we don't understand.

The next day after processing and thinking about our experience in the hospital the previous evening, after analyzing and running the occurrence through my mind over and over again, I found myself in that place...attempting to rationalize what had happened. It wasn't "logical" based on what I knew at that point and so...like many of us do I attempted to "figure out" a more "reasonable explanation as to what had really happened.

All I knew was my son couldn't eat and digest and then that night he could.

It wouldn't be long before all my rationalizing and attempting to "figure out" a more "reasonable, logical and practical" answer than "miracle" would be squelched.

Here's how and why...

I had befriended a guy a year or so earlier who worked as a saw man at a trailer manufacturing plant where I was employed as a welder at the time. His name was Eddie.

He was a very cheery, positive, chunky guy with one of the heaviest Mississippi accents you have ever heard. He was also one of the most loving and caring people I had ever met.

Although he worked as a saw man full time, on the weekends he would travel around the U.S. and preach at Pentecostal revivals.

A few months prior to my son's ordeal, Eddie had taken a leave of absence from the trailer manufacturing plant we worked at to spend some extended time on the road going around the country preaching at various revivals. He knew nothing of my son being born let alone that he had been experiencing any medical problems.

A few days after our experience at the hospital, Eddie called me from Tennessee. He told me he had been preaching at a church there. This was somewhat odd because he had never called me at home before. We were "work buddies", not really hang out and call each other buddies.

During this conversation, Eddie told me that he was walking down the street and "felt drawn" into a gift shop. He said he didn't know why or what he was going to do once he got in there. He said he just followed the lead he felt he was getting. He went on to tell me that he was directed to a specific isle within this gift shop and was drawn to something that he ended up buying. He also told me that what he bought was intended for me.

He didn't tell me what it was, only that he had bought me something. "I'm not sure why, I just knew I needed to" is what I recall him saying.

At the time I just figured that he had bought me some souvenir. Although grateful, I didn't give it a lot of thought. The next night or maybe even the night after that, at about 10:30 PM he called me and told me he had just gotten back into town and needed to come by and deliver this gift.

I was getting ready to go to bed and told him that it was a bit late and asked if we could just get together the next day at work. He insisted that he come by that night saying that he really felt that it was important that he do it then. After a little coaxing I agreed and gave him directions to my house. About 20 minutes later he showed up at the front door, I answered it, he apologized for coming by so late, and handing me a box, he immediately followed up with..."I'm not sure why, I just knew it was important."

The box was about 12" x 8" and about an inch and a half thick. I thanked him, took the box, opened it, looked at the contents and was immediately overwhelmed with emotion.

All the events from a few nights before made "perfect sense."

It was a wooden plaque with the picture of an opened and outstretched hand with a bible verse inscribed just above it that read...

"See, I will not forget you, I've carved you on the palm of my hand." Isaiah 42-15

I was blown away. Actually, "blown away" is a gross understatement. I knew something that I'd never "known" before. I explained to my friend the series of events that had taken place over the past weeks and now we were both letting the emotions fly.

As a side note ; To this day that plaque hangs right beside my desk to serve as a constant reminder.

Ok, now on to the reason for sharing this experience...

First of all, I'm NOT suggesting that ANYONE put off or deny their family needed medical treatment. Had it been necessary, as much as I didn't want to, I would have signed those forms and my son would have received the surgery.

At that point in time, after Eddie's visit that evening, I perceived that series of events to have something to do with my recent choice to attend church. I really and truly thought it had something to do with some form of religious affiliation. I had just recently begun going to church on occasion. I recall relating to it and "perceiving it" as being some form of "religious experience."

Although at that point in time I referred to and related that turn of events as being some form of religious experience and happening as a result of "changing my ways" and "being good", years later, armed with a sincere desire and passion (love) to learn and understand more, a lot of "path walking", much growth and a number of equally as profound experiences since, here's what I now understand and have concluded to this point...

We have ALL been provided with the same ability to create (or if you prefer co-create) and experience even the most "profound miracles" anytime we choose. The wisest and most miracle creating choice we can make is to get out of our own way and allow Love to lead.

This "desirable form of miracle" happens as the result of nothing more or less than choosing to "project Love" and let go of any attachment or clingy expectation as to how or when the desired outcome will unfold.

The bottom line and the main point...

Love overwrites fear in ALL cases when we choose it as our point of focus...our intention and allow it to.

I most certainly didn't and still don't consider myself as being an energy or faith healer...I was not aware of Universal Law...I had just recently become involved in structured man made religion a few weeks or months before because it was the best place that I was aware of at the time to delve deeper in the hopes that I could discover some answers to questions that I had at the time.

You could say, at that point in my life I was still looking for my answers in the external world, because that is all I knew.

Although I had heard of faith healers and saw a few on TV, I wasn't sure I believed in that sort of thing. In fact at that time, based on what I had been "taught" at the church I attended, I thought that it could all be fake. I also didn't have the belief that day that by getting on my knees doing the best thing I knew how at the time would provide the outcome that it did.

I was merely a preschooler in this classroom that we refer to as life. I still am even as much as I've explored and experienced. I had absolutely ZERO understanding of how anything worked spiritually, physiologically, neurologically, energetically, scientifically or otherwise. Other than my limited understanding that positive thinking played some kind of role in enhancing results in life, I was quite certain at the time that DOING alone was the cause of physical outcomes in the physical world.

I've since come to understand I knew nothing at all about the nature of reality or what I now refer to as Actuality.

Although I had heard the term "Unconditional Love", I had no idea or grasp of the enormity that it is or what it "truly meant" outside of the emotional and physical type love we experience.

I knew how to weld, I knew how to love my family and I became active in my church because I was seeking deeper answers based on a few previous experiences I'd encountered. As profound and awe inspiring as those experiences were, I was still in the place of attempting to "figure out" what those experiences meant and why I had them. (Those are another story for another time)

The conclusion that I have come to based on my understanding so far is that what transpired in the emergency room that night had nothing to do with ANYTHING that I or anyone else did in a physical sense with the exception of a projection of "Unconditional Love" for my son.

That's all that was necessary. It was effortless. I didn't have to DO anything in that situation except Love and let go.

My choice to kneel down and pray was merely the best thing I could think of based on where I was.

As I think back and recall to the best of my ability, all I can think of is that I know the Love I felt for my son. I knew there was nothing that I could do personally to help him or resolve the situation personally. Out of desperation and even though immense fear and anxiety were present, I did the best and ONLY thing I knew how to do. And even though I chose to do that, I certainly didn't KNOW or have any belief at all that it would work. Not "consciously" anyway. But it did.

At that time I believed it was the physical action or "doing" of getting on my knees and praying. I do believe prayer combined with a strong emotional attachment focused on Love does enable "desirable miracles" to unfold, but I'm also quite aware of the fact that prayer alone isn't enough.

My current belief is that the ONLY reason it did is because of the emotion of Love that was projected on my sons behalf which proved stronger than and overpowered the fear, worry, confusion and anxiety.

In addition, finding myself in such a helpless state, the sense of "Surrender" that I experienced played a major role as well. It wasn't an intentional form of surrender though. I was forced to surrender in a sense due to my "perceived helplessness" and the complexity of the situation.

That projection of Love combined with my "forced surrender" enabled Love to do the job that He/She/It ALWAYS does when we get out of our own way and "allow" that to happen.

After many years of searching and seeking answers, what I now understand and currently "believe" to be true is.....

• It didn't have anything to do with structured "man made" religion

• It didn't have anything to do with me being "worthy" or good.

• It wasn't the physical action of getting on my knees and verbally praying in and of itself

• It didn't have anything to do with anything external to me at all

• It didn't have anything to do with anything except a "welder" finding himself "helpless" and entering into a state of complete and total surrender...forced surrender...combined with experiencing and projecting an intense feeling of Love and caring for my son.

• There is no limitation, barrier, border or ceiling as to what can happen when Love is the intention...regardless.

I now believe...actually I KNOW in a deep place that we are met wherever we are. We just earnestly do the best we know how to do with an "intention" that aligns with our understanding of Love and let the rest go.

It doesn't matter whether we're in a religion, or not in a religion. It doesn't matter if we are what are perceived by the world as "good people" or "bad people."

It doesn't matter if we "perceive ourselves" as worthy or unworthy. Love always reigns and "desirable miracles" happen when we do the best we can, step aside and "allow" that Love to shine through.

But at the same time Love always does. Love is ALWAYS in ALL WAYS the driving force behind EVERYTHING we experience. We just don't see it at times due to our short sighted perspectives and the judgments we choose to make about life and the things that happen in life.

It's our chosen focus, our perceptions, our judgments and the various labels we choose to place on things that determines what we receive.

Love doesn't discern, rationalize, judge, make our choices for us or intervene when we are "unconsciously choosing" the polar opposite of what we "claim" we want.

Quite simply...Love always says Yes.

From a more scientific perspective, it's the energy that we broadcast through our thoughts, feelings and emotions, our beingness that projects a vibratory output (our consistent "prayer") which determines what we are asking for, what we attract and those are always aligned and harmonious with whatever the outcome might be.

In this particular case it was an intense feeling of Love that proved to me to be MUCH stronger than my "fear" which when combined with "Surrender" or "letting go"...what could also be referred to as "allowing", resulted in an outcome that I and a number of others perceived as a miracle.

As forgetful and confused as I can become at times I have also come to "know" and understand this...

Every aspect of creation is a miracle. Creation always is.

Every millisecond of every minute a miracle is unfolding around us. Every minute of everyday of every week of every month of every year is a miracle, a creation, an effect, the outcome of which is only determined and limited in scope by what we allow it to be based on the inalienable right of free will that has been provided to you, me and everyone else with the capacity to think, reason and rationalize.

The results that are experienced in the physical world regardless of how immense or how seemingly insignificant, aside from how grand or how tragic that you, I or anyone else perceives them to be, they are in reality without exception a miracle creation limited only in size and scope by what YOU allow them to be.

We judge and label things as something other than miracle only because of our individual beliefs and "perceptions" of the world. Those perceptions and our choice to remain "asleep" even though our eyes are wide open lead to our short sighted, judgmental, condescending, pessimistic and cynical views of people, events, conditions and circumstances which create and sustain the very cycle of miracle (as undesirable as they can seem at times) that we ourselves are choosing regardless of how "unconscious" that choosing might be.

My analytical nature and a desire to understand more has since enticed me to delve even more deeply into the whys and hows of life because that is just my nature. I like to know how things work. I also know that this analytical aspect of my beingness can at times get in the way and slows the inevitable unfolding of things that I have a sincere desire to accomplish.

Even knowing the significance of and personally experiencing the power of Love combined with surrender, I still somehow find myself resisting and fighting the process at times. I still find myself thinking I have to "do" something more and "figure things out" when things aren't as "I Think" they should be or they aren't happening in the time-frame that I've decided is acceptable.

And as a result, I still experience additional "growth lessons" due to my own stubbornness and unwillingness to just tune in, express and project the Love in everything I think, say and do, surrender it...let it go...unattach and just let Love take over.

These growth lessons at times still instill fear. But based on my experiences thus far I understand that when I allow my desire (Love) to radiate strongly enough, when I do all I'm able and know how to do, it ALWAYS proves to overpower and move me through the fear, rendering it powerless.

At some point if and when I can learn how to consciously and consistently "allow" the LOVE to dominate my mind rather than placing any attention or focus on the occasional fear, the unfolding of desired outcomes (consciously created miracles) can and will happen much more quickly and consistently.

I equate Love to "allowing" and fear to resisting in a sense, even though in reality, for fear to effect us, it is also us "allowing" it to.

There are only 2 ways of being that we have to choose from. One is Love and the other fear. EVERY choice we make falls under one of those headings.

Regardless of which we experience, I've come to believe that it's important to simply "allow" that to be OK. To just simply surrender. It's what let's Love shine through and be recognized and experienced in a physical kind of way.

As much as I would like to, I'm not sure at this point how to teach someone to surrender except to convey that whatever might be happening in your life...regardless of how fearful it might be or how "bad" you might "perceive it"...simply accept and "allow" it to be OK. Allow Love to be the focus. Develop the understanding that "All things", regardless of how they might look or how we "perceive them" on occasion, all serve a "greater good."

ALL without exception.

Keep your focus on what you Love and have to be grateful for...unconditionally. Ignore to the best of your ability whatever it might be that you fear. Don't resist...simply ignore. Keep your focus on Love....unconditionally.

Admittedly, I haven't even fully taught myself yet. But I'm getting much better at doing so and when I slip simply "allowing" what is to be OK as it is. What I DO KNOW and have come to understand is that it is a necessary and crucial aspect of attracting and fulfilling our most cherished, sought after and heartfelt dreams and desires in the simplest and quickest way possible.

There are things you can DO to assist you with that.

The best form of doing that I've discovered and know to share at this point based on what I have personally discovered and experienced is choosing to consistently engage in some form of meditation.

It enables you to break through and transcend all the noise in the world. It enables you to see beyond all the fear, confusion and "perceived" chaos. It enables you to touch and experience Love in it's fullness. It's where Higher Truth is found. It's the place where you gain an unshakable form of knowledge. Correct knowledge that transcends common logic.

And you find when you continually discovering, reviewing, internalizing and applying more "correct" knowledge, you begin overwriting the subconscious garbage acquired throughout life, and when combined with continually engaging in the art of meditation, a profound sense of "knowing", inner peace and an indescribable sense of assurance is much easier to tap into.

It's "effortless in fact."

It's still amazing to me that at times it can bring you to such a place of deep understanding and a profound awareness of the simplicity of things some days and others that you can feel so separate and fearful again. I have accepted the fact that it's a process, a journey, that if I'll persist, and as I get better and better at it that it will continue to accelerate the fulfillment of my individually held desires.

One thing I'm certain of. It's not about trying and doing. It's more about not trying and allowing. It's about doing the best you possibly can to align with Love in all you think, say and do and then simply allowing nature to take her course.

You still DO in a physical sense. It's just a matter of doing the best you know how based on where you are, letting go and "allowing Love" to do the rest.

That is the purpose for writing about and sharing this experience.

Not to tell or show you how "you" should do it, but only to share the best way I know how, after walking a number of paths and trying it different ways. I share based on this as well as a number of other of what I refer to as "profound experiences" that I've personally experienced in my own life. I do so with the hope and intention that it might shorten your path, minimize your "painful growth lessons" and assist you in making more of your "desired miracles" commonplace.

I know that what I perceive as being profound experiences in my own life, each time it was due to me coming to the place of being open and willing to accept the fact that I was unable to "do" anything more myself, finding myself completely helpless and as a result having no other choice but to keep focus on the "desire" and simply "surrender" it.

When Love is the ultimate intention, miracles unfold.

Although at this point I haven't yet mastered doing that at will 100% of the time, I KNOW that I KNOW that I KNOW that is how whatever we have a desire to experience will be attracted to us in the "quickest" way possible.

Don't misunderstand. That certainly doesn't mean to not take action, but rather take the best action you know how, based on where you are and simply un-attach yourself from how and when your "desired outcome" will show up.

The stronger the projection of Love the quicker, more "profound" and miraculous the experience.

It's not as much about doing as it is about being...the projection of Love that attracted and "allowed" the outcome was a way of BEING, not doing. That way of being was based at that moment strictly on Love although an immense sensation of fear was most certainly present.

I now believe it had nothing to do with my physical action. (getting on my knees and praying) That was my way of "showing up" and doing the best I knew how to do. But I believe by expending the emotional energy, attaching desire (Love) to it and letting the inevitable happen without knowing or worrying about when, how or even if it would, it did.

It was a surrendering of sorts. I suppose somehow that night that it was the Love expressed and projected which was stronger than and overpowered the fear and every other emotion being experienced that enabled this "desired miracle" to happen.

Something else that I have come to know and understand since. You don't have to be religious. You don't have to know everything there is to know about Universal Law, you don't have to understand science.

In fact you don't have to know anything about anything except to understand that you were, and are, at the very core essence of your being created in the image and likeness of whatever the Source of your understanding might be.

You've been freely provided a form of power that most are unaware and unconscious of. We're all using already. Some just don't realize it and often "allow" fear to lead.

Regardless of what you choose to label Source, He/She/It is One and the same Source that has and will continue to provide "Whatsoever ye desire" when you simply choose Love, do the best you can based on where you are, step back, let go and "allow" the desire to unfold.

I now KNOW that we each have been provided the ability to "Move ANY Mountain" at any time that WE choose. Even space/time can be and often times is transcended when the desires we have and choices we make are based on and aligned with Love. I'm also aware that the ONLY thing that keeps any of us from doing just that is "allowing" fear to dominate. Fear surfaces either due to an unawareness of our given ability, or that we tend to overlook, over analyze and/or ignore the simplicity of the obvious.

To put it more simply, we "get in our own way" based on what I have come to recognize as "previously established false beliefs." We think, speak and act in ways that "allow" fear to be the predominant way of being.

And when left unattended, that choice leads to physical experiences that we each have in life and which only further validates and strengthens in our own minds that what we have been taught is truth regardless of how true or "untrue" it might be.

Our individually chosen and established "perceptions of truth" are NOT necessarily truth, but only become "true" in our lives as we ourselves choose.

REAL TRUTH, or what I now choose to call "Higher Truth" is that Unconditional Love drives it and is the underlying and often overlooked Cause of it all.

Love always says YES...unconditionally.

Unconditional Love is limitless with Infinite potential, without regard to time and space as we perceive it. It is only Our perception of truth or what we as individuals BELIEVE to be true which creates EACH and EVERY one of our experiences in life and regardless of where you currently are in your understanding about how it all works, or why it works that way.

Based on my experiences, I have concluded that even if belief isn't present in a conscious sense, a strong enough emotion of Love will enable the unfolding of "Desired Miracles" regardless of how we might "perceive", judge or react to the situation.

I and my son are living and breathing proof that the Source, whatever you might perceive Source to be, IS "Unconditional Love" and will meet you "wherever" you are in your understanding.

Based on our own limited human perspective, (which by the way we each have the Free Will to expand anytime we choose) can and will provide "Profoundly intense experiences" or what some may choose to call miracles, without limitation or time constraints, and which MUCH of the world would refer to as impossible or illogical.

I can't and won't pretend to fully understand or grasp the depth of what happened that day with the exception of being able to say that without question, a projection of Love overwrites fear, doubt and worry. What I can do is share to the best of my ability what I have experienced and understand based on my perception thus far.

This is one of those times.

As I reflect and think back upon the various "seemingly miraculous" experiences, there is a harmonious and consistent theme. And that is that each time I experienced them, I realized that it was something far greater than what I or my physical body could do on it's own and as a result went into a state, that I now understand to be complete and total surrender.

Although I was doing so "unconsciously and/or unintentionally" in a sense, I let go...surrendered and placed it in the hands of something far bigger and immensely more vast and powerful than myself. But each time, there was an intense emotion of Love (desire) attached.

Although I refer to these experiences as profound I do so to express the BIGNESS of each event based on my perceptions of what I believed to be possible at that time. In reality I have come to the understanding that ALL of creation is a profound miracle and it's only our individual perceptions and judgments which make them anything else.

There are, in Actuality no big or small miracles. EVERYTHING in creation is a miracle if you'll look closely enough and choose to "awaken" and see it that way. I personally believe that this combined with developing the "Inner Knowing" that "All things, the joyful as well as the difficult, REALLY DO "work together for good", allows sincere and heart felt gratitude to become an automatic response. Choosing that way of "being" enables you to quickly float through the growth lessons that we each experience and create more of what we perceive to be miracles EVERYDAY.

In a nutshell, based on my understanding so far, when your not sure about what to do, project Love (desire) and just surrender. It will unfold just as you request and as quickly as you'll "allow" it to.

That's only my perception based on where I currently find myself.One thing that I DO KNOW beyond the shadow of a doubt based on my own experiences over the years, is that when it comes to choosing "love or fear" even when we "allow" fear to fill us...

"The greatest of these is Love" and Love wins out EVERY time.

In the bigger scheme of things...when you get to the core of what drives it all...Love is all there is. Unconditional Love.

Thanks for reading. I hope you've found what I've shared to be useful.

One more thing before I go...

Due to many of the profound experiences I’ve had during my personal “growth process”, I’ve since explored a number of "paths" attempting to understand, in an intellectual kind of way how and why life works as it does.

I convey what I've learned in a program I've created, called The 7 Hidden Keys To Conscious Creation .

The 7 Hidden Keys was held as a live online event that I believe can assist anyone who’s looking to enhance ANY aspect of their lives.

It conveys many of my personal discoveries over the years in a way that I can't possibly share through written text.

Should you choose it as a tool, use it, apply what you learn and you'll experience what I'm talking about for yourself.

Don't just acquire it and "allow" it to sit on your hard drive. Use it, absorb the information, knowledge and wisdom shared in it.

It can and will transform your world should you choose apply the wisdom shared, take action in the best way you know how based on what you discover and just "allow" nature to take her course.

Experiencing harmony and fulfillment in life really is as "simple and complex" as that.

It really doesn't matter if it's in the physical, financial, relational, emotional or spiritual aspect of your life. The same immutable, unwavering and never failing underlying principles govern it all.

Perhaps The 7 Hidden Keys To Conscious Creation can assist you in seeing just how "true" that is for yourself.

Only you can be the judge of that. One thing I "do know"... EVERYTHING we personally experience in our lives is the result of a choice...an individual choice and that choice is yours.

We can make choices "consciously" or "unconsciously" but the quality of the results are always based on and harmonize with whatever individual choices we ourselves make.

I know first hand how true it is, because I've "been there and done that."

And if you haven't yet "truly grasped" or understand what I've shared above, all that you really have to know is "The Greatest of These is Love."

Choose that in everything you think, say and do and life will be a grand and amazing experience...regardless.

I'm Finished With The Greatest Of These Is Love
