"Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry"

“Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry”
By Barbara Rose

The title of this article is fully credited to Erich Segal, who wrote the phenomenal movie “Love Story” back in 1970.

Since that time, I have always wondered what that statement truly meant. Now, 34 years later, I understand.

True love is unconditional. It is transparent, where we can accept, understand, and allow the other person to make every mistake, falter, stumble, and give genuine heartfelt compassion when they are trying their best, even if their best is can be “better.”

Love carries no judgment or manipulation. Love carries no ego, or the need for ego gratification. True love is pure. It is deep, eternal, and it never dies.
There may come a time when you have to be apart from someone you truly love in your heart. Please realize that sometimes time alone is the greatest gift you can give to another. Sometimes our ego’s “want” more, and sometimes our ego’s “avoid” love. These are the ego’s delusions. They are not, however, the pure love that resides within our deepest heart and soul.
I learned that “forgiveness” can be replaced with compassionate understanding.

When we truly understand, there is not an ego need for a formal apology. When we love purely, there is not an ego need, period. There is only compassion and understanding. What we “want” and “deserve” may come from both ego and self-value. Certainly we all deserve pure love. However, to receive it, we have to first learn how to give it – first to ourselves, and then to another.

“Never having to say you’re sorry” means that you know you are loved truly for who you are. You are accepted. In order to give this kind of love to someone else, we first have to love and accept ourselves with the utmost loving compassion, understanding, and carry zero self-judgment.

As we peel the layers of ego away, along with self-protective walls, egoic responses, and manipulation of Self to be what we think we need to be in order to be loved and accepted, it is then that we can love someone else purely. This takes great conscious effort, and the desire to grow to become so pure and heart centered, that the ego melts away.

When this happens, we know we are loved by Self in the most genuine manner, and then we will also know that we are ready to give such a pure, unconditional love to someone else.

We can understand mistakes. We can understand growth. We can understand time spent apart means that time is needed in order to grow.

When you love someone, you know in your heart that your love never died. You feel their presence in your heart, even if they are out of your life.

Sometimes, we may not always get what we “want” in life, however, we will always get what we need in order to grow. We may not consciously ask for certain situations, but on a soul level, we brought them into our lives in order to heal, grow and learn what pure love is truly all about.

Can you understand that you have always done the best job you knew how to do at any particular time with the knowledge and level of growth you had at that time? Yes? Good! Now, you can extend that same understanding to the other person from your heart, and that is why you will not require them to say: “I’m sorry.” You will understand, and they will understand. It is that pure understanding that allows what may have bruised our ego to melt away. Once our fears and ego are out of the way, we truly can love purely. You will never have to say you’re sorry to someone you truly love that genuinely loves you. You will only have to be yourself – that is all you will ever need to do.

This Thanksgiving

I feel so deeply Blessed and fortunate to be able to be with my children, and have every kind of food imaginable for them. I remember so vividly times when I was hungry. I pray that every person alive has good food to eat, someone to give him or her a hug – and say “I Love You just for being you.” I pray that anyone that is lonely comes to know a true friend that they can turn to for support, and trust they will not be abandoned. I pray that every person has a roof over their head, and a comfortable bed to sleep in. I pray for health, inner strength, Divine ideas and vitality to enter the heats and minds of every person alive – especially when they are not sure which road to take, or what to do next.
Most of all, I pray that every person love another with loving compassion, understanding, and can show this love in their actions.
This is one of the happiest Thanksgiving’s I have ever had. It is all because of Love, care, and bringing a smile to anyone that I come across. Love matters so much – it is the greatest force in this Universe, and I pray every person comes to love him or herself, as much as Divine Source loves them unconditionally.
Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for your precious time. I love you!
Barbara

What Do You Have to Be Grateful For?

What Do You Have to Be Grateful For?

By Barbara Rose

Whether it’s a holiday season, or just another miserable day in your life, it might be really hard to find things to be grateful for, especially when times are everything other than the way you would like them to be.

There is a reason.

The first step in ‘attitude gratitude’ is to realize that you are reading this over the Internet. That places you among the wealthiest percentages of people that populate planet Earth.

There are people living in tents, and sleep on a blanket over mud. I know, because I personally saw this in the Middle East a few years ago.

Your family relations might be strained (to put it politely) and/or you may be having challenges of all varieties that seem to infiltrate your life, when all you really want is some peace of mind, and people in your life that love you, care about you, and that you can count on.
Don’t we all?

The ‘reason’ I mentioned above is to re-structure how you VIEW what is going on in your life, so that you can truly see that there are, in fact, Higher reasons for anything and everything that is happening to you in your life. That reason is to get you to pull yourself up from within, to find much needed compassion – first for yourself, and then for those that seem to grate on your every last nerve.

Then, it’s time to really take an inventory of all you DO have, that you may really take for granted. Perhaps you have two legs and two arms. There are many that do not! Perhaps you have a “failed” relationship. Please realize that ANY relationship enters our life so we can grow. Growth is sometimes painful, however, the pain DOES pass.

Perhaps a tragedy has struck your family. There is a higher reason, and that is to get you to find a new way, over time, to create a positive change, cure, remedy, solution, law, cause, campaign – no matter what it is – it happened so that there CAN be a positive outcome for the many others that could be in the same situation, and/or to prevent it from happening again for countless other people.

Pain lessens in small degrees over time when positive focus and ACTION are taken to move you to the other side of the event that you may feel grief over.

Happiness, on the other hand, can NEVER be obtained “from the outside in.” It can ONLY come from within your mind, and how you view the situation at hand.

It is not money, or people, or events that bring us happiness, it is our BEING and expressing all that we are that CREATES our happiness, from the inside out.

No matter what your situation, you can find a way to view it from a higher perspective. You can look back on certain events in your life and see that the growth and learning was worth the suffering. However, suffering is NOT a pre-requisite to true inner happiness. The only prerequisite is your perception and view of the events.

I read a saying a while back: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right!”

When life, or one area of your life, has you at the bottom of the proverbial barrel, take an enormous look at the power of your mind. You can create a new way just by deciding to do so. Your conviction to transform anything in your life CAN be done with conscious attention, focus, determination, conviction, and perseverance.

It is often said that the most accomplished people had to undergo vastly great hardships. It is my firm belief that true “accomplishment” is when you view yourself with genuine love, full acceptance, appreciation and value. Furthermore, it would do you a world of good to view those that are on your sh** list with great compassion. They are acting out because they have not yet reached a level of growth and Self-realization to love Self enough, and so they act out on innocent targets. This of course, has nothing to do with YOU – it is all about their own perceptions!

Above all else, remember that you do have Divine assistance at all times. ASK for what you are requesting, and EXPECT to receive new clarity, inner guidance, direction, and support. Live with more trust and less fear. Live with more belief and less doubt – especially in yourself. No matter what anybody tells you – you ARE worthy, lovable, and quite admirable. THAT is what you must be grateful for – it is for who you are, and the true difference you are making. Even if you volunteer to feed the ducks outside – you are making a difference.

Now, look within and take a solid inventory of every quality asset you have: Every ability, talent, strength, and natural gift. Take that list, and bring it to the outside in your actions. CREATE the changes you would like to see in your life – simply by being all that you are.

There is so much to be grateful for. Did you ask: “What?” I’ll tell you. Be grateful for you, because this world needs you, and only you can make the difference you came into this life to make in your own unique way. It all begins in your heart. That, combined with your mind are the most valuable assets you can ever have – because you can create profound changes just by giving a smile. You are THAT powerful. Never take yourself for granted, and always follow your truth. You will then be grateful for being all that you are, and as a result, this world will be much better because of the difference you came here to make. Thank YOURSELF for being you.

Being Spiritual Means Taking a Stand

By Barbara Rose
As each of us accelerates on the spiritual path, becoming one with our Higher Self, it is of paramount importance that we take a stand, and graciously speak out whenever we see injustice in any form.
Personally, I cannot stand politics and all of the games that go on within the political arena. However, when I read the CNN report that electronic voting machines were being counted Backwards I knew I had to speak out, and ask everyone I know to also rise with their integrity and voice to be heard, simply to allow freedom and fairness for all to continue.
We can meditate, communicate with the Higher realms, and live a life of bliss and joy. However, it is quite unspiritual to bury our heads in the sand, and not take a stand when we see injustice in any form.
You have no idea how much of a difference one voice makes.
Your voice is crucial to annihilating the lower energies of injustice and discord, by speaking out from the heart, and having the courage to let your voice be heard!
There is no need to fight a battle simply let your voice be heard! Speak your truth and as you do, you will become more of a beacon for yourself, as well as for others that hide away due to fear.
It is one of the most spiritual things in the universe to bring Light to any injustice. Your light exists within your truth. It is crucial that your truth is voiced, in any manner where untruth exists.
That is bringing out your highest nature in order to make a difference. We can only do it on our own, from within our hearts. Never hide away, ever. Allow your truth to come out, and you will find that you feel so much more authentically empowered as you honor and express the Divine truth that exists within you.

In Broward County, Florida, electronic voting machines counted backwards: as more people voted, the official vote count went down. [1]
In one Columbus, Ohio suburb, election officials have acknowledged that electronic voting machines credited Bush with winning 4,258 votes, even though only 638 people voted there. [2]

Higher Self Communication

This is a deeply personal post. For the last 26 weeks, I was blessed to see a profound and literally life-altering transformation in Gail, a woman that lives in Australia, that has demonstrated time and time again that her connection to Divine Source and the information she brings through is so completely on target, it is astounding.
I taught Gail all I knew, from my heart, and shared my own personal tears as well. Part of being a heart-felt “teacher” is having the guts to share, and dare to expose my own trials, tears, and days when I didn’t feel like “Ms. Born to Inspire” at all.
Where on Earth can someone actually learn HOW to bring through pure truth, answers, and information directly from Divine Source? Now there are two of us, and more on the way. The work is spreading like a Divine Flame. Everything we have learned, we share with others, and never preach.
There is no judgment, only support, clarification, guidance, and direction in the moment.
We don’t make formal predictions concerning world events, however what we “get” or “receive” always comes to pass.
I imagine someone on this wonderful and dynamic planet might wonder: “How do you bring through information from Divine Source?”
It is a deep process, that requires a LOT of personal clearing on all levels. It requires something that every human being has – their heart, with a genuine desire to bring through information to bring out their highest and best in this lifetime.
It is an ability every single human being has, however, it takes work, and a LOT of practice to filter out ego, and become a pure channel – similar to a hose that has to be free of blockages to allow water to flow out smoothly.
The greatest rewards are in seeing the difference this work is making as the techniques for inner clearing, and opening up to receive Divine Truth makes in other’s lives.
The rewards are in bringing each person to their own pinnacle of personal empowerment and personal truth.
There are no leaders or followers. Each person is a unique beacon of light, without any desire to have a following, and with a desire to share in order to help to make our world a better place “one person at a time.”
I am deeply grateful to be fortunate enough to do this work. It is JOY, and the process is enormously rewarding.

And whoever you are, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day or night to read this. There is a God – Divine Source exists within every single human being, without exception!

A Nation Divided Within

By
Barbara Rose

Much of the division and discord that we witness on the outside is a deeply rooted reflection of the division within each person that is “happy about their side winning” and “sad about their side losing.”

When viewed from a broader perspective, the outer symptoms of humanity taking sides displays a clear and undeniable internal crisis to be “right” to “win” and to be “better than” the other side. If this were not the case, all would be working in harmony with all, for the benefit of all, and there would not be a single thought of who is “better than” the other. There would not be a “fight” but instead a deep compassionate resolve to combine all energy, efforts, resources, and direction for the ultimate benefit to reach all of humanity.

It is my deepest wish to see this transformation take place among humanity during my lifetime. I invite you to share in this purpose by inviting more people in, eliminating the fear-based “competition” paradigm, and to seek to bring out your highest and best self from your heart – that sacred place where all truth emanates.

The Political Discord Among Humanity MUST Transform

I have seen and heard the bits and pieces of the political discord among the masses as well as the “Us versus Them” paradigm that faces the United States.

The energy almost feels like a civil war among the populous, as it mirrors how “right” each participant needs to feel.

My view and preference for any elected representative has always been, and will continue to be for the person that cares the most about the people, period.

It is abundantly clear that the majority of humanity truly needs to feel validated from the inside out, whole and complete, so that the warring attitudes can cease, and a bi-partisan approach for the best interests of the masses can prevail.

The “competition” and “do whatever it takes to win no matter WHAT has to be done” attitude can be transformed to truly spiritual, ethical, and responsible leadership and representation.

It is my deepest belief that when humanity heals within, one person at a time, our world and the political arena will reflect this with a win/win approach on all sides, for the best interests of the masses.

There are several people our world has been blessed to have that carried this approach. They sought to help the people rise, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.

Humanity as a whole can never win until humanity becomes humane. Not one person can change everyone, however, everyone can uplift their own self-value, so that it is reflected in their outer actions.

Why is it that so many have the need to be “right”? How can this change to being “fair” with care and compassion, integrity, and a genuine heartfelt desire to serve, rather than “win”?

There is an old saying: “United we stand, divided we fall.” I believe this applies on a planetary level. It MUST apply on a planetary level, so that humanity can prevail in peace.

We are all one race. We are all one people. EVERY person on Earth both wants and deserves to have peace, happiness, abundance, health, and love. THIS is where we can begin: by seeing how much we all have in common, rather than take sides. Our side needs to shift from “me” to “humanity.”

Set the example. BE the example, and many more people will begin to awaken from the darkness of discord to the light of cooperation and mutual benefit for the highest good of All.
