Communication (1.12.14)

Good day and Happy Sunday!

Welcome to my Sunday Sermon. Today I'd like to explore the idea of communication.

We are in a state of constant communication with the world and others around us. Even when we don't say a single word, we are sending messages. What messages are we sending?

If it is true that most of our communication is non verbal, then we have to become aware of our body language as well as our attitude. If we can live from a place of love, then it would seem that whatever communication we send out would also be from a place of love.

Conversely, if we exist in a constant state of anger, then what are we saying to people around us? What are we telling the world and the Universe?

All things are connected. We are One. Everything is energy in one form or another. Our methods of communication are forms of energy. Our thoughts, our words, our emotions, and our actions are forms of energy. Even when we are sitting still in meditation, we are still vibrating some amount of energy.

If we live in a state of fear, what messages are we sending? In our current world, there seems to be a lot of fear going around, as well as entities breeding fear for their control tactics. As humanity exists in fear, what are the repercussions of such energy? Fear breeds more fear.

Like attracts like, whether it is fear, anger or love.

What we communicate to the Universe is what comes back to us. We see this as a direct result of our communication. If we spew out words of anger, then most likely the being(s) receiving will respond to us in anger as well. If we live and espouse attitudes of fear, then it comes back to us as our children act in fear, as our communities respond in fear, and so on.

Now, let us examine communication from a point of love. If we can find love within our self and bring that forth into our world, what will we see? What energy will surround us and come back to us? Love and acts of kindness will return to us. All beings within our sphere of energy will respond in kind to the love we project out. Our friends and family, our pets, and even our houseplants will become more loving as they absorb the love energy we are radiating outward. As we become beings of love and kindness, then our world becomes a loving and kind place. I suspect even Nature would respond with love, if treated with love and respect.

It is our responsibility then to find and practice love in every aspect of our life. If we can. It is certainly something to aspire to, isn't it? If we become aware of ourselves and do not allow a self-serving ego to gain the upper hand, this task becomes easier.

We must go within in order to change the world. There is no other way. By changing self, the world around us changes to reflect back to us what we are energetically putting out there, what we are communicating.

So, no matter what we might be doing, we are communicating with the world around us. Even if we withdraw from everything around us, we are still sending a message.

It is important that we become aware of the messages we are sending, and what we are communicating to others and to the Universe. What kind of energy dominates our lives?

Live in love. Act with kindness. Communicate peace.

Love to all.

Have a beautiful day.
