Perspective

[Paul Lange]

I know who I AM. I have seen myself, talked with myself, merged with many aspects of my multidimensional self. I have had some glorious experiences in higher expressions and dimensions.

So why do I feel so crappy? Why do feelings of anxiety and fear still come up? Why do I make flash judgments of people only to feel bad about it and have to clear those thoughts and feelings out again? It's easy to blame Mercury retrograde, or the latest influx of energies, empathically picking up on other's thoughts and feelings, or any number of ascension symptoms. Too easy really.

I must accept responsibility for my own thoughts and feelings. It's as simple as that. I AM in the final throws of my ascension which requires clarity to clean myself out. There is no room for junk to be laying about.

I have realized that I have not embraced unconditional love. Here are some of the conditions I have identified which my beliefs seem to embrace.

• I will love you if you love me back
• I will love you if you aren't too weird
• I will love you if you are clean
• I will love you if you treat others with respect
• I will love you if you are honest
• I will love you if you stop hurting people and animals
• I will love you if you stop polluting the Earth
• I will love you if you don't argue about meaningless things
• I will love you if say nice things about me
• I will love you if you believe what I believe
• I will love you if you don't become angry at me

It seems I could just keep writing more and more of these. How embarrassing it is to realize how restrictive I am in these thoughts. It's not like I consciously think these things. I consciously think how I love everyone, regardless of what they look like or act like. But hidden under many layers, this ugliness sits, quietly brewing the opposite of love. The opposite of acceptance.

How can I unconditionally love anyone, including myself when these beliefs exist at all?

One way is to turn these statements around.

• I love you even when it seems you don't love me back
• I love your weirdness and diversity
• I love you even though you haven't had an opportunity to take a bath
• I love you with respect so you may learn to respect others
• And so on...

I don't think this is a magic pill, to just switch gears instantaneously and all is perfect and pristine, but maybe this first step in realizing this is deep inside of me will now allow me to release it, and in so doing, release myself from limitations, fear, and guilt. Allow myself to fully love, without conditions, including love of myself.

Of the many guides I have working with me, loving me, and cheering me on, I ask this question. What must I do, right NOW to help myself and those around me the most?

What you have just written is a huge step for you. We have been saying via many sources just how important unconditional love is. That you cannot love anyone, or anything until you can love yourself without limitations and conditions. You have been too hard on yourself, as so many people are. Does a cat judge itself harshly for vomiting on the carpet? Of course not, it is just vomit that needed to come out. Would you judge yourself if you vomited on the carpet? of course you would, just as you would if you vomited vile words and feelings outward to someone else.

If you could just see what we, in the company of heaven see, when we look at each of you. We don't see that a person is an alcoholic, or drug addict, that they eat junk food and become overweight, or that they loathe themselves when they look in a mirror. We see a beautiful angelic being, beaming with light trying to breakthrough the many layers of dirt, grime and forgetfulness. You agreed to accept the veil of forgetfulness to experience separation, but we don't see that separation. We only see your divinity.

When you see the divinity within you, you will start to see that same divinity in ALL others, regardless of what body and clothes they wear. Some have chosen to play roles and awaken in difficult circumstances that make them seem less divine. Let us assure you that they are no less divine!

When you look upon ANYONE, see within them an angel, for that is what they truly are. The fact that they may not remember this is not relevant to how you perceive them. When you meet angels (and we both know you have, and do, on a regular basis), do you EVER feel they don't deserve your love and respect? Do you ever feel anything but admiration and unconditional love?

(Me)

Of course not, all the angels I have met are incredibly amazing, beautiful, loving beings that will and do love me no matter what I do, feel, or say. They are unique and yet all of them share this ever-flowing love energy.

(Sananda)

That's exactly what angels do, they all love and respect you. They are there for you as your cheering squad no matter what the score is, who is in the lead, or how bad things seem. As you have come to realize, you are also an angel, and embracing unconditional love is also embracing your angelic self. Your true self.

Is your wife an angel? Of course she is, and an amazingly beautiful one at that.

Is your daughter an angel? She is a pristine and brilliant angel as you have seen when you look at her with angelic eyes.

Should I ask this question of each person on Earth? It would make for a very long list of questions, and of course the answer would always be the same. Why should one person be more deserving of love than another any more than one angel would be more deserving than the next? It is a silly question with an answer that is so obvious it shouldn't even need to be asked.

But that may be the rub because nobody would think to ask it. It is in asking the question, that releases the answer(s). Do you see how simply changing your perspective of people completely changes who they are in your eyes?

Thank you for asking these questions of yourself and for the opportunity to answer them for many.

Thank you Paul for this perspective. So true it is, that we can change our thoughts by turning them around. 

The first step for me was to become more aware of these negative thoughts. I am surprised that there are so many.

I have been turning one particular thought around so often that it is becoming automatic now. Whenever my mind starts to go there I silently state the positive aspect. 

Namaste'

Thank you Paul, we do need to be constantly reminded of being aware of our thoughts, be they positive or negative, because most of the time, we are unaware, unless we stop and make the effort.  Love and Light and Blessings,  Renate

That really struck a chord with me, Dear Paul....I have been working on this myself for a while, trying to be more mindful of my thoughts & how to change them around...

Thank you for sharing....I hope you don't mind, but I want to share this with a few of my like minded friends. It might help someone else, too...Peace & Love, dear....xx
