The moment contains Love

[Marina2]

Hey everyone,

I've been pondering Ra's simple advice of attempting to find the love in any given moment, as a means of quickening the development of consciousness towards greater harmony. I would be very interested to hear your take on this elegant quote. What does it mean to you? How do you use it in your daily life, or do you? Any other comments are also welcome. Quote provided below...

thanks in advance,

10.14 Questioner: For the general development of the reader of this book, could you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an acceleration toward the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra.

Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and useable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously see that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking empowers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

I have used this advice often when I was ill or despondent. For me, it meant that even in the dark, there would be a small light and it was up to me to find the light and see it and amplify it. I would picture putting a mirror by the light (which I saw as a candle) to make it bigger, to increase the light in my dark room (depressio or illness). I would see this light as something like "I still have the love of my children" or the knowledge that "I must be learning something" or "Notice how beautiful the sunset is outside that window". This light or love that you can see becomes bigger with the focus of your consciousness (your attention on it) so that the very act of noticing love/light makes the situation better "brighter". This is a wonderful understanding that can help you throughout the day and night. Where is the light? Notice it. Make it brighter. This removes the dark, shifts your emotions and also transforms the moment and your own understanding of your own ability to create more light.
