“The Gift of Humanity”
by Barbara Brennan

The gift of humanity
is the gift of love.
You create love
through the sacred human heart.
You are the beloved.
It is through relationship
that humanity creates love.

The gift that humanity brings
to all of the worlds,
manifest, unseen and unmanifest,
is love.

It is only through the process
of incarnation into individuality,
that you can create
this precious human love.
You fill yourselves with love.
Your cup runneth over, and you emit it.

You create pools
of delicious, joyous, sensual, loving kindness. You need only to recognize love within yourselves
to let it flood your consciousness awareness.
You have no need to decide
what to do with your love,
for certainly love knows its ways.

Gayle’s Reflections

“The gift of humanity is the gift of love.” Barbara says we create pools of it through our sacred human heart. Right now my heart physically aches with each breath I take. Perhaps this vehicle of love creation is gunked up from the scar tissue of suffering created from the perceived loss of love. Maybe it aches for the extreme self-judgment I place upon my own heart and human being-ness.

I need only recognize the love within myself to let it flood to my conscious awareness. This is the tricky part; loving myself. Love is already here in me…of me…a part of me. Why can’t I feel it, know it, access it every day? Oh wait, of course, I CAN do that. Keep remembering love starts in my own heart for me first. Then the expansion moves out toward another.

Deeply caring for my own well-being, satisfaction, pleasure, joy and kindness is my daily exercise and practice. Regular deep listening to my physical body, for rest, food, play, and nurturance is necessary. Allowing the full transmission and expression of my feelings until they are completely at peace is what my emotional body requires. Understanding the physical and emotional needs while bringing awareness to how the mind and its’ relentless, repetitive negative and sometimes positive thoughts actually create what shows up on the physical world.

I must continuously empty the chattering, distracted and undisciplined mind and simply drop down into my sacred heart and just be there. Just be there creating a pool of love to dip myself into for cleansing and healing and receiving the gift of my own love. Without my physical, sacred human heart, the creation of love would not be possible.

Love knows what to do. All I have to do is choose it, receive it, be gifted by it and present to it.

Thank you, Barbara for showing the big picture of love and human incarnation. I see more clearly who I am within it.

See you Tomorrow.
Love, Gayle

“Self-Judgments”
by Barbara Brennan

Any self-judgment
can remind you
that you are blinding yourself
to the greatness of life,
your creations,
your life,
your self.

Answer
“Who do you think you are?”
with the truth.

Not the limited, negative tradition
that you have been taught
in an erroneous way
to keep you safe.

It does not keep you safe.
It keeps you fractured,
separated,
and in pain.

Gayle’s Reflection- Day 3

Answer
“Who do you think you are?”
with the truth.

This question in the middle of the poem is the basis of who I am. Is the question that reminded me how small and insignificant I was. This question once held a reign of terror over me as it was only delivered to me in an accusatory way when I stepped of alignment with who I was “supposed” to be. It often occurred when I was choosing something for myself, exploring and discovering what I like about who I am. Those words “who do you think you are?” cut me sharply and I learned to dodge its blow by conforming to the expectations of others. In doing so, the path to answering the question with my truth became long, twisted and confusing in my attempts to discover the authentic me while wearing the mask of expectations, responsibility and conformity.

Today, the question no longer holds the fear or energetic charge trapping me in a life of conformity. Looking at it with my true face on, I can choose my response to it truthfully and with excitement and joy, because of the path I am now standing upon. There is no authority to keep me from expressing my true self. All I have to do now is allow the creation of my life to flow through me, rather than being arrested at the judgment of another. I am still in the process of creating me through self-discovery, self-discernment, leaving the self-judgments at the door. Thereby, allowing all of who I am to be revealed. I now choose more consciously the expression of me, my creations, and my life.

Who do you think I am you may ask?
I say to you…
I am disciplining my mind daily to transform the imprinted, limiting negative thoughts about myself. You know…you have yours.
I am happily writing to you now.
I am healthy in my body.
I am joyful in my heart.
I feel excited for the greatness in my life.
I am living my life with less pain and more love. I am deeply grateful for it all.

Tell me now…Who do think you are?
What are your self-judgments?
Is it time to be less separated from yourself?
Practice I am and I feel statements every day, all day in order to change the feeling
neuro-circuitry of early childhood programming we all get in some form. It can change your life. It takes time, practice and commitment. You can do it. I did.

Thank you Barbara for helping me have permission to discover who I really am.
See you tomorrow.
Love, Gayle.
