is amazed that, “Just to think that less than a quarter of an inch behind your forehead is the central control of your whole life thus far.” That’s a WoW!

I feel like the most blessed man alive with amazing friends. Wow! How’d I get so lucky?
Heart Note….
March 18, 2009A lot of feedback has come my way
regarding the “God is Love” post.
All of it very positive.
The mind of love IS the mind of God.
The Bible says, “You have the mind
of Christ.” I’ve never been one to
water down spiritual truth. Thus,
I embrace that truth totally.
As I’m searching for answers in
my own life, I meditate and pray
a lot. Especially in the bed during
the night.
I believe God speaks to me during
the quiet. Sometimes, God is just
quiet during the quiet.
Last night, the thought occurred to
me, “What if everything in my life
changed?” What if I abandoned
all of my present thinking and just
allow God to bring whatever else
is needed in my life to replace it?
There’s a place that I want to go
to in my life in love, in God. There’s
a place of peace and bliss that I
want to live. Deeper than I’ve
ever been before.
What if it takes walking away from
some present relationships? What
if it takes walking away from some
ways of thinking, some pride, some
means of approaching my life that
very likely haven’t been working?
I’m feeling a shift inside. The thought
even occurred to me, what if I don’t
write anymore?
Yesterday, an amazing friend
responded to me and planted a
seed thought in my heart and
mind. I shared with him some
rough times I’d seen as of late.
He planted a seed thought that
challenged me.
He said, “Surrender to it all.”
Only four words. Six syllables.
Powerful depth.
Sometimes, I pray and tell God,
“Take complete control of my
life.” In fact, I do that oftentimes.
I’m quite sincere in saying, asking
this.
I want to live in that place of
love and surrender.
I’m not sure why I’m sharing my
heart on such an open and deep
level today. Perhaps you’re feeling
what I’m feeling. If so, you and I
will get closer today.
Maybe its to let you know that
though I’m seeking and reaching
deeper in my life, I’ve not arrived.
I think its essential to be vulnerable.
Its the only way that you can
authentically grow in your life.
I appreciate you being a part of
my life. I am humbled that you
allow me to be a part of your life.
I appreciate you more than you
could ever imagine.
Cascades of love and blessing,
Michael

“God self-described himself with one word: LOVE” – from my friend, Dr. Steven Lambert
God is love……
March 16, 2009It never ceases to amaze me
how many people are going
through enormous life challenges
right now. Especially in their
relationships.
As of late, I’ve been encountering
so many that have complexities
of religion thrown into the mix.
I don’t mean true spirituality
and connection with God. I’m
talking about the rigid, dark side of
religion.
No matter where you come from
in your faith, I know that there
is one thing that we can all agree
on.
“God is love”
No ‘yeah buts’ needed. When
we ‘yeah but’ things, what ever
is on the other side of that
argument becomes the focus.
The focus, the primary over-riding,
over-ruling and sovereign truth is,
“God is love”
It is truth. It will not change. A
billion arguments and diversions
can be created. It still will not
change.
I know that there are some
who are here with us in this
group that don’t believe that
there is a God. However, I’m
confident that you do believe
that ‘there is love.’ Well, I
believe that the source of
love is God. I have no
interest in arguing it (or
anything else for that
matter
.
I live in the Bible belt. In
fact, being near Dallas,
Texas, I’m pretty sure I live
right ‘under the buckle of
the Bible belt.’ I’ve seen
mean-spirited religion. I’ve
seen judgmental, racist,
accusing, fear-full,
and intolerant religion.
I was a minister with a
local church for 15 years.
I think I’ve seen it all.
I have degrees in Theology.
I was on broadcast television
for over 10 years. I was honored
to assist very prominent
ministers when they went through
very difficult times. Some were
considered ‘fallen’ by many
of like religion. I’ve traveled
the world from the U.S., to
Australia to Russia and other
places in between speaking in
churches and other venues.
There’s one conclusion that
I come to today after living
a half century on the planet.
“God is love”
If you’re going through something
today and religion is thrown into
the mix, I’ve got some advice.
Know that religion, though it
talks about God, really has
little to do with who or what
God really is.
If religion spends the majority
of its time on anything other
than love, then I’m confident
that it has little to do with God.
You’ll find that it has to do with
with judging, accusing, hating,
dividing.
“God is love”
I guess more than anything,
this is a reminder. For me and
perhaps for you.
Avalanches of love to you today,
Michael
Some help to live in love and peace….
March 15, 2009When you choose to ‘live love’,
life and love become easier.
Love makes you more aware
of people, blessings, beauty
and the simple goodness in
the world.
Love also has an inner voice
of wisdom. Love can and will,
direct you. Love amplifies
intuition and wisdom. Wisdom
and intuition will lead you
to make right choices for
your life.
Love is a spiritual power.
As Dr. Hawkins reveals in
‘Power vs. Force’, the
power of love far exceeds
willful human force.
One thing that choosing to
live love has done for me
is, its made me more aware
of situations and people that
I do want in my life as well
as those I don’t.
Love causes you to want to
live in peace. You cease
from all of your extraordinary
human effort and begin
to allow love to create the
life that you truly have
always wanted.
I was with a person that I
know as a casual acquaintance
this past week. In our
conversation, he said something
that I sensed as an attempt
to force some control over
me. It didn’t feel right to
me. It went beyond my
boundaries of what I want
to allow at this point in
time in my journey.
I thought about it. I talked
to myself about it. I decided
that I’m not at a place in my
life that I want to expose
myself to someone who
I perceive, is attempting to
control me. My choice now is
to limit my exposure to
this person.
The objective truth about this
person is, they are a very
giving and caring person.
However, their attempt to
control me was not something
that I was willing to allow.
It is no judgment of them
nor of what they were
attempting to do. It was
me knowing where I am
in my own personal growth
and maturity and knowing
what is good for me and
what is not.
Had the situation been
something that had a
noble end or something
that, though it made me
uncomfortable, was
challenging me to grow
personally, I would have
viewed it differently.
My personal growth came
from my decision to limit
exposure to this person.
Now, you may feel that
you are at a place spiritually
and emotionally where you
can be around people like
this and still maintain the
level of peace that you
desire within. If you feel
that way, I think that is
great. I’m not presently
and need to set some
boundaries for myself.
Learn to listen to the inner
voice of wisdom. It is an
amazing gift when you
choose to live love. Learn
to listen more to your
intuition and inner voice.
Then, take action on
what you hear. You
can trust that voice to
deliver the life that you
truly do want to live.
Avalanches of love to you,
Michael
Complexities of love…..
March 13, 2009I was asked recently, “Michael, why
is love so complex? Is it love that
is complex or is it relationships that
are complex?”
Good questions.
We get love mixed up with something
that we feel towards a ’signo’
(my abbreviation for ’significant other’).
There’s an emotional openness,
a sense of being completed and
an amazing excitement when we
feel that we are ‘in love’.
Love is complex for several reasons.
One, love is complex because it IS
so powerful. We have such a deep
hunger and thirst to love and be
loved.
Two, love is complex because, well,
we don’t understand it. It is something
that we experience. It is not something
that we can explain like mathematics.
Three, love is complex because
it has such an amazing sway over
our lives. We feel desperate
without it. We feel awesome with
it.
The power of love can be seen when
someone has ‘fallen in love’ and then
that love is somehow withdrawn from
them. From amazing ecstasy to deep
depression.
Love becomes a lot less complex
when we gain the consciousness that
it is more than something that we
possess or have. Love is something
that you become. It is something
that you feel for all of humankind.
It is something that you feel for
yourself.
I find myself sensing an incredible
love for people I’ve not met yet.
I see people in various places and
feel a conscious ‘in the moment’
love for them. Its not a romantic
feeling of love. But it is love
nonetheless.
You are deserving of living your
life in love. It is a conscious choice
that you’ll choose.
You will find that when you do
this, the complexities of love
begin to dissolve. Your relationships,
platonic, romantic or with people
you don’t even know, are
greatly enhanced. You go to
another level of living.
I highly recommend living the
life of love. Your life will be
far better and much more
fulfilled.
With great love to you,
Michael
