“There’s a big difference between focusing all day on ‘I’m not good enough’ and focusing on ‘I am love.”– Matthias Hombauer
Yesterday at the possibility posse, Sabrina recalled an event she once hosted in L.A. for the singles group at Agape International Spiritual Center.
She instructed participants to get out their phones and spend an hour taking photos of love.
At first, they grumbled. “What in the heck does that even mean?”
They begrudgingly began snapping photos of random couples. Isn’t that our off-the-shelf definition of love?
But then they started noticing kids frolicking in the surf with great abandon, teenagers building impossible sandcastles. A dad teaching his youngster to float.
Love, they soon realized, was everywhere. And as they began documenting it, taking time to look for it, notice it, their own hearts opened up wide as a sunset over the Kansas prairie.
Love, as I like to stay, is the substrate in which we live. Sure, we can make up alternative stories. Our minds, after all, are mighty creators.
We’re capable of creating unlimited subsets of reality. We’re quite skilled at collapsing waves from the quantum field that can be judged as “not love.”
But those superpositions are imaginary. They’re temporary beliefs that we use to separate from the substrate of love.
My intention for this brand spankin’ new week is to use my “camera” to look for and document only truth, only love.

I love you Pam!
It’s interesting what beauty you see around you all the time once you look past yourself and your phone. The two most important things in life are love and laughter. Both are the biggest game-changers we have to work with to change the energy we reside in. I’ve even used love to grow flowers, and evenchange people and their behavior.
Right now I’m attending a course called “your body believes everything you think.” The teacher was working with one of the other students who had difficulty dealing with her husband who has dementia. The teacher had told her that “you can’t change people”. I almost opened my mouth and said: “Yes, you can. Perceive them with love.” However, I kept my mouth shut as I was told the week before in class that I talked too much. This was a “teaching” class, and we needed to listen. I think I have decided to quit the class and start my own. HeeHee!!
