Joy is the Highest You Are in a hierarchy without levels. It is perhaps the most un-experienced aspect of yourself – Your True Self. In the world of separation humanity has lived in for eons, guilt, shame and remorse and the sense of unworthiness that emanates from them are the filters through which each one has experienced everything … as a result, Joy has been the first experience to be withheld from yourself.
You have withheld the Natural Joy You Are that you believe you do not … you cannot possibly deserve until every so called `sin` you believe clings to you has been expunged from your record. You set up institutions and authorities to validate this belief and if you have been faithful to anything, it has been to punish yourself by withholding Joy.
The remedy for this huge lie about yourself and the great riches you have withheld from yourself is to Make Love to The Universe … the Truth of Who You Are … the All That IS.
We are Now living in the Golden Age … we have taken our first timid steps into the Truth of Who We Are and even if unconsciously, we all can feel the tsunami of Joy rolling powerfully toward us.
For most people, making Love immediately brings up the image of physical love and tied to that common experience is the straight-jacketed beliefs in guilt, shame and remorse ... however subtle it may be … it is lingers beneath the surface for most people. As a result, until those imposters have been transformed, if you use this image as a template for making Love to the Universe, you will continue to withhold Joy from your experience.
Instead … use something you feel totally guiltless about.
For you it might be quietly drinking in a sunset alone on the beach, forgetting time while walking in a beautiful garden, driving the winding roads of a mountain pass, slurping up a delicious ice cream cone, painting what your heart sees, losing yourself in music … there are endless possibilities. For you, there is something you feel absolutely guiltless, shameless and remorseless about. Take that Joyful feeling and use it as the feeling of Making Love To The Universe.
The Universe does not mean the Milky Way … even that limits Its boundless Nature. The Universe is God – All That Is – your True identity when you have left your mental concepts and begin Thinking With Your Heart.
It means Loving every-thing, seen and unseen and every experience beyond the concept of good and bad.
You Love the innocence of a child`s Face as an expression of the Universe and you Love the cancer as a different expression of the same Universe – there IS no difference … each tells a different story that your Heart will recognize. The Love transforms whatever is disguised back into Its True Nature.
True healing, if that idea has meaning for you, always flows through Love and is never a result of outside causes.
When you embrace absolutely everything, including those experiences you have not yet had but passionately desire, you are working `with` the Universe – Your Self … you are Choosing from the infinite `Menu` of Creation and Harmonizing with the Frequency of that experience and it has no choice but to come into your experience.
You may call Making Loving To The Universe – Passionate Gratitude for All That Is Now and All That Will Be in terms of your experience.
The chaos you once believed defined the world of your experience will then fall away and you will see Love – God – You in everything seen and unseen and Joy will be your Moment to Moment experience.
