In the last week or so, I experienced the passing of some very special people. I didn’t know these individuals personally, but they were special in the lives of my family and friends. This morning, it happened again. A beautiful light in the world just lost his battle with cancer.

For some reason I was deeply moved. The loss brought up lots of sadness. It also put me back in touch with how totally irrelevant our circumstances are. Compared to life, our circumstances are absurdly meaningless. The only thing that matters is the experience of love.

When you are in the experience of love, your mind is still and you are present with who you are. You feel whole and complete. At the same time, you feel humble. Your ego loses power and something beautiful happens. You can experience the presence of God. As you let go of the ego and allow this presence to move through you, miracles can happen.

Guilt is very destructive. It reduces your self-respect and undermines your relationship with yourself. It makes you feel undeserving and shrinks your capacity to receive. It takes away your confidence and fuels the deeper core issues that destroy love and sabotage your life.

Being free of guilt is very important. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to do. It’s easy because guilt is never, never caused by what we did. Guilt is something that we add later with the benefit of hindsight. It is only when we see the consequences of our actions that we add guilt.

Select a guilt from your life. Then go back in time to the moment you did whatever you did. At that moment, didn’t you have a very particular state of mind and didn’t you see life in a very particular way?

If you have two or more people together, you can expect to have disagreements. How you handle these disagreements determines the quality of your relationship. Most of us handle them in a way that is very destructive. We get defensive and draw sides against the other person.

Then we fight to have our side prevail. We think that if we fight hard enough, our side will win. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Everything you do to have your side win is calculated to have the other side lose. This automatically puts the other person on the defensive and forces that person to fight you.

Then you get defensive and fight the other person even harder. Then the other person does the same. Without knowing, you create a cycle of conflict that produces tremendous suffering and makes it very difficult to resolve anything.

As I am sure you have noticed, the world is getting crazier and crazier by the minute. Lots of people are suffering. The world is changing rapidly and appears to be getting worse. My question is this: “Why?” Is there is a purpose in all this insanity?

Over the years, I have noticed that most people need to hit the bottom before they will ever look inside and have the awakening they need to have the rest of their lives be great. Maybe the same is true for our planet.

Maybe all this craziness is pushing us to a place where we will have an awakening that will change our lives in a very positive way. Maybe we are in the process of a personal and global transformation. So what is transformation? Let me explain.

The key to creating a great life is to learn to live in the experience of love. When this is present, you are happy, alive and free. You feel good about yourself and good about life. You are creative and resourceful. You have a very positive attitude and great things happen around you. When you are in this state, you are living in the light. You are also experiencing the very essence of who you are.

We started out this way but lost it in the process of growing up. Then we entered the realm of fear, upset, and suffering. Now it’s time to get it back. It’s time to live in the light and have your life be as great as it can be. Here are some steps to help accomplish this.

Here are the ground rules: (more…)
