I thought this might fit in with some of the discussions we have been having on other threads.

"At the deepest level, there is no separation between internal and external. All outer phenomena are mere reflections of consciousness, and there is no changing the external world without addressing internal factors. Knowing that our primary spiritual task is to love, the highest work of consciousness is to not only try to find our love but also extend it into the world."

I like that Diane! I think it kinda relates to the idea that our bodies are a reflection of the material cosmos just as our "Essential Nature" is a reflection of the abiding spirit in all life.

That reminds me of "My cup runnith over". If I am so filled inside with love, it can't help but spill out to those all around me. There is no containing it. The more that goes in, the more that has to spill out. Thanks Diane, and I do believe we are finding our love, and we are not afraid of feeling it, for others on this forum. I know I am.

Wow, Diane, that does touch on some of the subjects that have been discussed lately! I have some of Marianne Williamson around here somewheres. Isn't she cool! I love to read her stuff.

Wow,' find our love and extend it into the world' ! Find our love, what is our love. It reminds me of when I moved to where I am, I wasn't sure of the place, and felt that it wasn't the forest that I yearned for, a friend told me to take to this place, what it was that I loved. to make it be here, by bringing it here.

Its like I know that what she says is true, I know that there is no difference between the outer and the inner. It's the addressing stage that I am stuck at.! Does any body else feel this way!

Well I turned to my bookshelve to find another Marianne book that touches upon this subject but instead I opened Abraham speaks, and this is what it says! "God, or all that is, or that which is nonphysical, does not exist in a state of completion, now waiting for you to catch up, but revels in all that you live. For as you live ,as you think, and as you feel, you add unto all that is.

Hmmmmmm. Thanks for getten me thinken Di. me Tren
