Love and Discipline

The [[discipline]] of [[love]] involves [[focus]]. Any discipline involves focus, [[intense]] focus. Yes it is like putting the needles on the right groove, threading the needle, following the tracks of a squirrel, managing to put the electric pencil, the wand held between your teeth, in the right place. You cannot avoid [[discipline]] if you want to accomplish something, for your [[self]], or for others. It is this hard [[focus]], this single minded [[effort]], that takes you through the squeeze box of accomplishment. You are driven on by love, love for the sport, love for the [[goal]], love for what you believe will be the results of this effort. That is why [[strange]] bedfellows can be found in the House of Love. Yes, a bit like the Fun House at your [[carnival]]; you may see most [[distorted]] faces and bodies there. Some because they are distorted by [[disease]] and have overcome their [[limitations]] by [[discipline]]. Some because their faces are distorted by making wrong [[choices]], yet holding to them fast like the boat cuts the edge of the hurricane. Your worst [[fanatic]] [[experiences]] a love for the chase. Your [[torturer]] has gone through the eye of the hurricane and, gently presses to extract the last piece of [[information]], the love for that extraction, that informative result is real. It often does not matter to them if the information is correct, their love has transferred to getting it.

You are [[experiencing]] the vagaries of [[discipline]] now. You are not always sure, you [[doubt]], you [[practice]] with doubts spilling from your mind. It is only your love that will keep you at this task. Love for the message we have to give you, the [[information]], and love for the results. If you loose track, you are [[protected]] by me. I will always be here when you put the needle in the groove. Yes, anyone who reads your information must go through their own groove to understand it. You need not [[worry]], they are [[responsible]] for themselves, you are [[responsible]] for your [[self]].

That is the [[responsibility]] of [[choice]]. Choice plays the greatest part in your [[reality]]. You must choose love. That is the same as you must [[forgive]] him. Your choice will determine everything. I ask you to choose love long before you have [[understanding]], for understanding grows out of [[experience]], trying, effort, mistakes, staying in the groove until suddenly the groove takes you out of itself into another groove altogether. Each leap is the result of choice and the discipline that choice requires to put it into effect and to enjoy the results.

[[The fruits]] of the spirit are many and wonderful. They bring [[joy]], into your [[heart]], into your world. You can know another¹s choice by [[the fruits]] of their spirit. You can know your own choice by the results of that [[choice]]. Does it bring more [[joy]] into your heart? If [[disappointed]] in the outside results, are you [[satisfied]], [[happy]], joyful with the inner results of your labors? [[Encourage]] everyone you know to choose love, and acknowledge every choice to love that you encounter, in yourself, in others. My others, said Devina. Thee, said Alana. The personal [[relationship]] that evolves from the [[practiced]] [[choice]] to [[love]] is an experience of [[oneness]] that is difficult to convey in words for it is an experience. The [[TR]] used to have a goddaughter in her [[care]] quite often; that child referred to the TR as my Suzi. She expressed the relationship rightly; not the [[possession]] of something all hers, but the possession of a [[mutuality]], a [[duality]] that in spirit was one.

You will notice that many things will cause you to [[forget]], [[procrastinate]], avoid [[practice]]. Simply bring yourself back to that center point within which will lead you instantly where you need to go. Always [[expect]] [[joy]] and [[love]] to follow. Well, in your time frame you think it follows your choice. For us, it is always waiting for the choice to be made. That is the [[value]] of [[patience]]. Knowing that [[everything]] is on time in time. We are here, and as soon as you open up to that experience and keep the [[faith]] under all circumstances by remembering, you [[experience]] all the love you think you lost, or thought was missing. That is why we say to you, give love where love is missing. Everyone deserves the [[discovery]]. Their [[choice]] from there on is not yours to make, but you can teach that it is better to give than to [[receive]] because it feels good, and you know the [[joy]] is unending.

Once again I remind you that discipline is not rote. Discipline can take many pathways, hold many deviations from the pattern. What discipline needs is practice, and with practice you will know what I have told you is true. As you feel better, as you body begins to hold more power to love, you will begin to experience an inner and outer joy that is unmistakably the fruits of the spirit, our love. If you are not experiencing our joy in you, then go back to your practice of stillness and make the choice to begin again to choose love for ten minutes a day. Legion
