My dear friends, we love you so very much,
Imagine a pure, clean, and clear stream. It flows ceaselessly, nourishing everything along its banks. Unobstructed it would be a mighty force, but its flow is blocked, directed, limited, or allowed by all that stands along its banks or in its way. The stream doesn't judge any of this. It nourishes equally the trees that block or divert its flow as well as the ones that adapt to allow its natural flow.
You could say that the stream influences all of life around it, nourishing and supporting the ecosystem, and as well, all around influences the flow of the stream. The trees, rocks, and animals can block, direct, limit, or allow the flow, but they cannot stop it. The stream will push against boulders blocking its path, but if they won't roll, it will go around them. If the stream runs against a dam, its flow may slow and seep underground or find a new path. The flow comes from a source that the life along the path can influence, direct, but not change. The source and the stream don't quit no matter who or what is blocking, directing, limiting, or allowing. They continue to provide.
So too, there is an eternal stream of love that flows through all of creation. With your thoughts, words, and deeds you shape the flow. You direct it with your loving thoughts and desires. You block it, to a degree, with your doubt, disbelief, hate, and other lower emotions. You allow it to nourish your heart and your life when you have a moment of love or appreciation. You limit its ability to nourish you with the lower vibrations.
This Divine lovestream never quits. You can resist it to a degree until it begins to push against you with only loving intent. To the degree you allow love to flow to you and through you, you feel carried by the currents of Grace, supported by the Source, and guided. Your life flows. Miracles seem commonplace. All you need is brought directly to you, or the guidance is brought to your attention.
To the degree that you resist feeling love, you will feel increasing levels of discomfort and pain because love is always streaming. Resisting it takes increasing levels of effort. At first, you will feel mental or emotional discomfort, and then eventually physical pain. Resistance hurts. Allowing the stream of love feels amazing.
This, dear ones, is why we encourage you to find the most loving thought you can find in a given moment, and if you can't find a loving one, find a soothing one. If you can't feel good about life, feel good about a single sip of water, tea, or coffee. If you are in pain, find the parts of your life that aren't painful and use your free will to focus there. Alternately, breathe, or sleep, or meditate, watch the clouds, watch happy videos, or read inspiring material. Admire a rock. Think of someone you love. Savor a snack. Do something to get yourself back into the endless stream of love. The scale of the topic you choose to focus on doesn't matter. Finding something that feels like love does.
You experience the lovestream more and more, with every kinder thought, every loving thought, word, or deed for yourself or another. You experience the lovestream whenever you appreciate anyone or anything. You re-enter the lovestream after you get knocked out of it, when you choose to be kind to yourself.
Suppose, for example, someone or some news really upsets you. On the surface it would appear that someone or something has power over your feelings. It is understandable and human to feel this way. But deep down your upset stems from one thing and only one thing – you feel disconnected from the lovestream In the minute someone angers you you feel bad, not because of their actions but because you've disconnected from the lovestream In the minute you feel sad, understandably something triggered this feeling but what causes the sadness is being disconnected from the lovestream. If someone who behaves badly has more than you it might inspire jealousy but the bad feelings really come from being disconnected from the lovestream.
