Relentless love, abiding peace and other facts of life
“Truth gives its strength to everyone who asks in limitless supply.”—A Course in Miracles
See that epigraph at the top of this post? The one promising limitless supply?
It’s the exact opposite of what most of us believe. Words like unlimited and infinite aren’t really included in the script we pick up at birth.
Which is why I’ve been tuning into a higher signal every morning, communing with a frequency that keeps pointing out that I’m cherished and adored exactly how I am.
We’ve all heard concepts like this, that we are nourished by an inner light, that joy is our natural state (heck, I’ve been writing about these ideas for twenty years), but the thing about starting each morning with the Two-Way is that is has moved from being a pleasant theory to a very present and direct experience.
The Cosmic Concierge with whom I consult every morning urges me to accept nothing less, nothing below 100 percent, undiluted, whole enchilada love. I am not a little bit loved. Or a little bit innocent.
It tells me that until I entertain no substitute for limitless, inseparable, immutable love, I will continue to see the world as less-than-perfect. Everything I see out there is a reflection of what I believe in here. Even if it’s a teeny, tiny speck of not-love, it clouds my vision of the world. It obscures life as it truly is.
And that’s why the Voice sometimes seems like a broken record. You are loved. Everything is okay. There’s nothing to fear.
Not long after I first shared the Two-Way, the wonderful writer and illustrator Sue Shanahan who once interviewed me for her porch light series (she also profiled Brandi Carlile, Martha Beck, Rainn Wilson, Dolly Parton and others) wrote to tell me about a similar project Elizabeth Gilbert was doing.
Every week on Elizabeth’s Substack, she writes a letter to herself from unconditional love, a practice she has been doing for decades. She also invites subscribers to submit their own letters from unconditional love. So if any of you want to take it further than the 30-day experiment I proposed here, I invite you to check out Liz Gilbert’s “Letters from Love.”
I’m finding it inspiring and beautiful. (I already adored Liz’s books) And well, her project reinforces the idea that life is speaking to all of us, that it will never stop reminding us to listen to our hearts, to let its still, small voice offer refuge from past beliefs, old injuries and outdated scripts. Thank you, Sue, for pointing me in Liz’s direction.
Today marks 30 days (and it’s okay to start any time) of the experiment I invited you to try. I’d love to hear how it’s going in the comments section below. I’m especially interested if, like Father Bill W. promised, that once you log 30 days in a row, you’d never dream of going solo again. I know I’m quite relieved to accept help from a generous and relentlessly chatty universe.
I love you all and I hope you remember that being human is something we experience, not who we really are.
