awareness of Love’s Presence – A Twelvemonth of Self Love

11. Day 24: All Paths Are Blessed

Eva Lisle — Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:09:04 +0000

One of the things that dissuades me from fully inhabiting success is the feeling that I would have to leave something or someone behind and I never like to leave anyone (or anything if my garage is anything to go on) behind. Like the success principle I referred to yesterday about letting go of negative people in your life helps move you toward your own positivity and success. But perhaps there is...

11. Day 13: It’s What Love Would Do

Eva Lisle — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:31:56 +0000

I have a dear and good friend who is my soul’s mirror, my holy witness and agitator without whom I would never see wholly. This one is a gift beyond measure (and you know I, now, truly adore and am uplifted by measure). I have the joy and privilege of being able to be my whole, unadulterated, untidy, unwitting self when we are together. I find this One in all I meet…….if I but allow it.

9. Day 21: Joy Is God-speed

Eva Lisle — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 06:04:52 +0000

The siege in a cafe in the CBD in Sydney last week by a Muslim radical has led to a flurry of Muslim/anti-Muslim interviews, news stories here in the UK and overheard casual commentary on trains and in coffee houses. The act of violence and spectacle again raises the issue of conflict, distrust and even hatred between “us” and “them”. This fear and distrust is uncomfortable especially when it is...

9. Day 10: Joy Coughs Up The Truth

Eva Lisle — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:05:29 +0000

I have heard joy is an inside job which is true and reasonable yet still is a bit challenging to find/see/be aware of joy when circumstances say otherwise (pain, sadness, cold, coughing fit). It is not so much that I am not joyful it is just that the pain/cough etc is so loud I don’t hear joy. Since I am really noticing my awareness (or lack thereof) of joy this month I quickly notice if I am not...

8. Day 14: Why Takes A Holiday

Eva Lisle — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 13:01:31 +0000

I need to know why. Why??!!! My husband asks “How?” Together we want to know. And this is the month of extending love to Not-Knowing. How perfect is it then that we get to be in a brand new, yet ancient place. We have now arrived in London and woken to rain. Rain, alone, washed away my usual need to know “why?” Coming from such drought in California it is such a glorious gift and joy just to see...

5. Day 15: Feel Your GodSelf Shining

Eva Lisle — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:01:32 +0000

My walk in extending love to the fear of EVERY DAY is giving me time and space to allow notice of this body I am in. It is easy for me to give much thought to lip color and shoe comfort, sparkly glasses and the best outfit for the job at hand but to be honest, I give little thought to my actual body. I DO eventually give thought when my body is in pain or exhausted but my daily walk is giving me a...

4. Day 21: How Do I Love Thee?

Eva Lisle — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:50:42 +0000

The days have been so full and my quiet time and meditation are happening in all kinds of ways (and at odd times) and I am feeling a little discombobulated. Where do I need my awareness to grow? HS: Let us nestle together in peace now. Abide in me as I abide in you. Bring me the treasures of my heart that I may once again know the truth. “How Do I Love Thee?” How do I love Thee, let me count the...

3. Day 5: Walk Without Worry

Eva Lisle — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:19:30 +0000

For some reason I have had an attack of self doubt (time for more Innocence Awareness Training) and exhaustion. After a nap yesterday, whole food and stillness I am returned to the awareness of the possibility of innocence being the truth about me. This quote from “The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament” was a spoon of golden honey to my heart: “In service, you are one with me...

3. Day 4: Innocence Awareness Training

Eva Lisle — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:42:00 +0000

I have been guided to undergo “Innocence Awareness Training” as a way of extending love to guilt and experiencing the daily truth of my innocence. Me: How can I experience my innocence daily? HS: Dearest One, Let us begin innocence awareness training this very day. Innocence does not flee from charges of guilt; there is no truth in them. Innocence does does not flee.

2. Day 29: Precious One

Eva Lisle — Thu, 29 May 2014 12:07:53 +0000

The thing I love most about depression is this certainty of not being incredibly precious, valuable and vital to both the world’s collective happiness and to your own. I get it, it feels like nothing is worth it, that you are not worth it but have you ever asked yourself: Is this true? Go on. Ask. I dare you. Take a deep breath and relax. Close your eyes and sink into the quiet. What do you feel?
