The High Calling of Love
Prepared and presented by Rev. Clive deLaporte. Available as a 20 minute message and / or 2 hour workshop.
Love calls us to live from a place of purity and spiritual integrity. As we remove our barriers to Love and deny the power of the fear of living from a place of vulnerable authenticity, we open the ourselves and the way forward to exploring, experiencing and expressing our infinite capacity for the sacred practice of the giving and receiving Love. Living from this attitude and intention we will not have to go out in the quest for Love, for Love as the essence of our being will find and fulfill us. |

In Love I am empowered to express my Divine wholeness and abundant potential.
"Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It can be ignored. To the extent that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us. Denying love is our only problem, and embracing it is the only answer. Through the power of love, we can let go of past history and begin again. Love heals, forgives, and makes whole." Ernest Holmes

Snippets from the teaching as a message and workshop ...
|
- Understand and experience Love as an Instrument of purification and preparation for a more holistic spiritual experience.

- Learn the daily transformational practice of Love by Attuning, Affirming, Aligning and Applying.
For me, the Divine is the inspiration and aspiration we have for what is true and what is good. It is the ideal behind the idea of all things manifesting as the material reality of the universe. The Divine is the intelligent, conscious, presence and power in which all things find their source and their substance, out of which all things come into progressive manifestation of the perfect potential for good.
The essence of the Divine is never and no more better experienced and expressed as Love. If we aspire to do no more than to be and see love in the world, as humans we will have fulfilled our greatest Divine potential. In love we come into authentic union and harmony with all that is good and desiring to be manifested in the world through us.
Divine Love is our perfect potential, ability and power to desire, attract and come into greater authentic union with what is true and what is good. As we awaken, and our greater awareness of Love unfolds, it's presence and power brings healing and wholeness to us, and to others, from within to with-out. The hand of Love first touches us and then through us, as instruments of Love, it reaches out into the world, spreading it's joy to all we collaborate with in the giving and receiving of Love.
Here are some insights from James Allen on the high calling of Love ...
"He who knows that Love is at the heart of all things, and has realized the allsufficing power of that Love, has no room in his heart for condemnation. If you love people and speak of them with praise, until they in some way thwart you, or do something of which you disapprove, and then you dislike them and speak of them with dispraise, you are not governed by the Love which is of God. If, in your heart, you are continually arraigning and condemning others, selfless love is hidden from you. Train your mind in strong, impartial, and gentle thought; train your heart in purity and compassion; train our tongue to silence, and to true and stainless speech; so shall you enter the way of holiness and peace, and shall ultimately realize the immortal Love."
Love is for giving and receiving. It is an energetic Light intended to first enlighten the heart and then the world. It comes to us and then through us. We are called to be enlightened by Love and then to become lighthouses of Love in the world.
"For even as Love crowns you … so shall Love crucify you. Even as Love is for your growth … so is Love for your pruning. Even as Love ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun … so shall Love descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn Love gathers you unto love. Love threshes you to make you naked. Love sifts you to free you from your husks. Love grinds you to whiteness. Love kneads you until you are pliant; and then Love assigns you to Love's sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall Love do unto you that you may now the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.” Kahlil Gibran
The path and process of Love is one of authentic vulnerability. It calls us to look into the mirror of truth, acknowledge and accept where we are on the path to our truth and good, and step out into the world with a full assurance of our innate goodness, to be worthy and wonderful in all our being and doing. It calls us to extend this same worthiness to all others. To respect and honor the universal path and process we are all on, to exploring, experiencing and coming into a fuller authentic expression of our Light, our Love.
Let Love be the Light we birth and bring more fully into our lives, our communities and into the world today. Let each of us step more completely into our potential for authentic Love and be generous in our giving and receiving of Love to all.

Insights and inspirations for the daily living from the ability and power of Love ...
|
Begin each day with Affirmation Prayer for Love, setting your attitude, intention and expectation in Love for that day. Let the spirit of Love go out into the day before you, preparing the way for a day of giving and receiving of Love. From time to time throughout the day take time to pause for a minute and affirm the power of Love, faithfully claiming its presence and power realizing in you, demonstrating through you and manifesting in your life. Go about your day in the attitude and intention of Love, thinking Love, feeling Love, speaking Love and acting from the ideal of Love. Mindfully in the moment ask: what would Love think? What would Love feel? What would Love say? And what would Love do? Take time at the end of each day to review and reflect on the days events and the experiences of giving and receiving Love. Affirm and empower what is true and good and deny and release what is not.
