“Loving Who You Are: The Ultimate Spiritual Practice” by Tama Kieves
Notes/Excerpts:
- Heart and Soul doesn’t exist because there aren’t enough churches, it exists because we demanded that it exist. There is something we are clearly calling forth. While I have a key role, I know it’s not me. A huge part of what is up for us is the opportunity to get clear and practice what really matters
- We’re at 110 days and it feels like forever and yesterday, but we have thrown the gauntlet down to have continual learning
- Loving who you are, the ultimate spiritual practice
- We have not yet mastered self observation, especially when we’re in it, people usually do 1 of 2 things: self judgment, or try to bring ourselves down before the person who asked before it appears to call forth an arrogance
- We are also accustomed to the world criticizing, and we tend to think what is expected is that we see first what we did wrong and tell it
- What is that in me that didn’t know? How is it that I can live my life in such a way that I didn’t know that at our 1st HSCL there was more than 150 people?
- I was out of step with the gift that is my life and how I am to bring it…but I have played the game for a long time believing I could have a gift that I could share without being seen.
- I practiced being all that I came to be and tried to stay small
- I am coming to the table with willingness to be all that I can be
- Self love is humility, but it is not playing small
- When you’re up to something there are always going to be those who don’t like it, and if you are sensitive to the feedback, then it can through you a curve
- You can not keep the baby in the incubator beyond what is appropriate
- I have to get the little me out of the way, and since there are a lot of us, and we all have our littleness in the way, we need to get to a practitioner and move past this place of self judgment and perceived limitation
- Our lives are set up to work in perfect order and balance
- If we have a twisted sense of self we will miss the openness and the invitation, we will only see and experience according to how it is written for ourselves
- Let’s start the new chapter, the new page, the new volume…
- Many of us have never been told that we are a holy vessel
- To the extent that we can settle in and drop anchor in self love, the safer the planet is, the broader the deeper, the more authentic the expression of love can be, when we drop anchor in it for self.
- It ain’t over until you declare it’s over and give up
- I don’t understand it, but I have tested it….The creative process is still awaiting your cue
- Are we mad? Are we believing this? Are we denying it or affirming it? What we goin' do?
- Are we trusting God and trusting love? Can we go from “this looks messed up” to “this looks quite different”? We must remain in trust and openness and divine availability
- I can see where I am serving 2 masters and you can count on me to get that healed, and released and you know I like company
- Acceptance clears the way so something can happen, it is the absence of resistance
- You can not deny yourself forever and then expect to stand in your power immediately
- The invitation is to give ourselves the amazing gift of life and be who we came to be and to “do you”
- Loving yourself more is how we will bless and change the planet
I love you,
Rev. Andriette
