Love is in the air!

Love is in the air. And this is a week to deepen our understanding of it, so we can experience more of it.

What we truly love about other people is the Light within. The more we focus on seeing a person's Light, the deeper we will care for them. The true purpose of love is to learn how to love the Light force of the Creator that is inside each of us.

Think about it. What is the thing that shakes, rattles, and rolls us more than anything? Love. For most of us, when we don't have love, we feel like we don't have anything at all. We're especially in touch with this emptiness when a relationship ends.

But the secret is, loving another person is not the goal - it is the means by which we achieve the goal. And again, the goal is to love the Light of the Creator, not only in another person, but in everything.

Think about your favorite place in nature. You know that peace that comes over you when you're absorbed in the beauty? Or the thrill of biting into your favorite dish? In those moments, you are extracting Light from those physical delights.

But here's the kicker - it's easy to connect to the Light in those moments because you're getting something out of the one percent and the 99 percent. The real test is when a co-worker pushes your buttons and you want to reach into their cubicle and choke them. Or when the parking attendant shows up one minute before you can put another quarter in the meter. Or when someone you trusted breaks your heart.

If you can manage to see the Light in these people - well, that's what is called true love.

A great exercise for this week is to focus on the Light within someone in your life. Work on doing something nice for them every day, by being considerate of their feelings. Avoid being irritable or self-centered with them. And when you notice negativity in their behavior, don't criticize them. Instead, make the effort to give them even more love.

In the big picture, this exercise is about creating unity with the Light. If you consistently work to keep your sharing basket full, so too will your heart be filled - with love, joy, confidence, and all things Light.

All the best,
