Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept it....

Some of you may not have spent enough years on this beautiful planet to remember the beginning sequence for all of those old Mission Impossible episodes. I love making light of the process through which we are so courageously moving, as we all too often become a bit heavy with the enormity of it. Mission it is, and a grand one, one that serves the whole of Planet Earth, of all of humanity and of the ALL-That-Is as well. Mission impossible it is not. We are more than half way there and doing very well.

Your part of this mission is quite simple, really. Love yourself.

Encounter yourself fully in all of your being, knowing, remembering and feeling. (Hear the echo.... feeling, feeling, feeling.... )

We are all moving through a process of letting go of the last remnants of our experience which we are not totally in love with, coming into love, coming into complete acceptance. Every time we release another illusion of not being divine, perfectly imperfect, wholly love expressed, we come a little bit more into the ALLness that we actually are.

Remember, God is all-inclusive, there is nothing that is not God. We are God also. Therefore, we are resolving and releasing into love all that we once denied, rejected, feared or otherwise considered to be less than God Being in the World. What we end up with is God - everywhere we look - God. There is nothing else. There is only God Being in the World, and God is love expressed.

We have been, over many years, actively taught NOT to love ourselves. It was considered selfish, vain, self-centered and arrogant, foolish and unwise. Oh, dear. Our mission now is to undo the effects of all of that training in self-denial and self-judgement. Our mission now is to embrace ourselves in delight, in joyful appreciation of all that we are and all that we are not. Our mission now is to love, love, love ourselves in the world. Yes, we're still human. We're still in bodies that ache. Believe me! I know that our bodies still ache! Love the ache. Love the sore feet. Love the sniffly nose and the cold fingers in January. Love yourself as you are. That is your mission now.

Again, I come back to that image of the child. A child with cold fingers, with a sore tummy.... you'd love that child! You'd love and love and love that child. You are that child. Love yourself as you would a beloved child standing in your kitchen, dripping melted snow all over your floor and sniffling. Love. Love. Love.

We are human beings. This is a great and glorious thing, this thing that we are. And we are so much more than just these bodies. We are the sniffles and the snores and the sink that needs scrubbing, but we are also the imagination, the multi-dimensional awareness growing, the love for others, the heart that gives, the wisdom of a soul-self that is older than this Earth. We are all of this and more.

So your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to look into the mirror and love yourself as you are, as you are right now.

Love and appreciate, enjoy and delight in yourself. You'd be amazed at how enlightening an experience it is. Perhaps the final frontier of our emergence into the new energy of the times is this delight in our own selves.
