We're McLoving It!

6/28/2015

L-R, Darrell Fusaro, Edward Biagiotti

God is the act of loving. No matter what the circumstances, when we express love we let God's power flow freely, baptizing our life with success. Music therapist and retired Navy Captain Becky Watson keeps things blossoming with today's Daily Word®, "Baptism." Click here to download/listen.

The 3 Breaths
"I bless my mess, when I baptize it success."

A metaphysician once gave me a wonderful recipe for taking every trick in the game of life, it is the acme of non-resistance. He gave it in this way; "At one time in my life, I baptized children, and of course, they had many names. Now I know longer baptize children, but I baptize events, but I give every event the same name. If I have a failure I baptize it success, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!" –Florence Scovel Schinn, The Game of Life & How to Play It.

When you trust the creative power of the universe, you know what real relaxation is. You do not have to solve the problems of the world unless you are the head of a government. You do not have to solve other peoples troubles unless you are a professional counselor. You do have to solve your own problems, and this you do without fuss and anxiety. You make right decisions and let the subconscious mind do the work. Your attitude is, "I am resolved what to do" (Luke 16:4). Therefore, tensions regarding decisions cannot arise in your mind, emotions and body.
To trust in Life reduces the pressures of every day living. It makes you feel that the whole world is supporting you at all times. This is exactly what the world is doing. Something great, wonderful, and true is backing up each of us. –Raymond Charles Barker, The Power of Decision.

     It is often said that the greatest need a man is to be loved, which is true. But it is a mistake to think that this need for love can be filled by others. Our yearning for love can be satisfied only by touching the Love Center within us. It is a "remembering" that "In the beginning... love" is the root of our being. The key to developing a consciousness of this love so that the energy of love may flow easily in and through us and meditation, "Man's love affair with God."
Charles Fillmore once said, "One should make it a practice to meditate regularly on the love idea in Universal Mind, with the prayer, "Divine Love, manifest thyself in me." This produces a positive love current, which, when sent forth with power, will break up opposing thoughts and render them null and void. . . . The love current is not a projection of the will, it is a setting free of a natural equalizing, harmonizing force that in most people has been dammed up by human limitation."
     Meditation is an experience and loving and being loved that the Center of us. This Center is not a place to go but a level of consciousness to feel. In this consciousness we love God and God loves us. There is no question of the latter, for –"I have loved you with an everlasting love." Our need is to accept it, to experience it, the bubble over with it. It is a consciousness that we are in love with God, and God is in love with us. And this sense of oneness in love "is the only real business of nature."
     When we feel the emotion of love, it is customary for the face to light up. The constant experience of transcendental love imparts to the face and to the whole being a spiritual radiance. The smile becomes a light with spiritual beauty. The smiling face is not only beautiful and joyful –it is "loveful." –Eric Butterworth, Life is for Loving

Today I Bestow the Essence of Love Upon Everything
Love is the fulfillment of the Law, we do not make the highest use of the law unless that use is motivated by love, by a sincere desire to express unity, harmony, and peace... We must embrace the essence of love that we may transmit it, giving loveliness to all events.
Today I bestow the limitless love flowing through me upon everything. Everyone will be lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the universe in everyone. Nothing is ordinary; it is all beautiful, all meaningful. This love is a healing power that touches everything into wholeness, healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm. I know that this Love Essence, the very Substance of Life, the creative Principle back of everything, flows through my whole being, spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. It flows in transcendent loveliness into my world of thought in form, ever renewing, vitalizing, bringing joy and harmony, and blessing everything and everyone it touches. –Ernest Holmes, 365 Science of Mind, June 23rd

Baptism
I go forth in the name of Love.

    When I think of the baptism of Jesus, I imagine it provided him with a clearer understanding of himself as a bearer of peace and love. When I meditate, I may experience a cleansing similar to a baptism and emerge feeling God’s grace.
    My baptism in love may bring forth an intense feeling of compassion as I look into the eyes of another. I may feel divine love during prayer and know I am Spirit expressing. God may call me to be the hands and heart of love as I volunteer and help others.
    Today I am baptized in the name of love and I go forth, as Jesus did, to be love, compassion, and kindness in the world.

Then Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized.”–Mark 10:39

The Funniest Thing! Mail Bag

From Sandy Page, Chicago, IL

As I'm driving in a car getting excited about the show coming on later, I decided that when I get home I'm going to write you a note to tell you about all the benefits I receive from listening. Just then, I realize that the song on the radio is "Right Now" (by Van Halen), so I pulled over to write it. LOL. Anyway, not only do you guys help me every week with helpful practical ideas that I use, but I find myself quoting you and passing these ideas to the many people I come across just about every day. So, just to let you know, you're show helps so many more people than just the ones that hear it. Thank you, thank you, and bravo!

From Rachel G, New Hampshire

Hi guys! I am a very sensitive person and take everything seriously so when I tuned into your show I was annoyed for a sec by your humor and scattered thoughts...but then you shared personal stories of your path every day, particularly the morning fog. You spoke right to me. I've been listening to the back recordings for 2 weeks now and they are changing my life, giving me really usable tools. So many Funniest Thing moments.

As you can see, Darrell and Ed are great KISSers. L-R, Darrell Fusaro and Edward Biagiotti

Wonderful opportunities and surprising good fortune are not the exception, they are the norm. Remembering that God always has something even better in store for us stirs up the optimism that consistently attracts greater good. Funniest Thing! fan Noel Bax drops by to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Prosperity." Click here to download/listen.

The 3 Breaths
"Everything is easy, when I remember how God really sees me."

By finding the all-providing love of God within your own soul, you become a magnet to attract manifest supply to yourself. You become a magnet to attract divine ideas, and your innate wisdom reveals to you how to use these ideas to the best advantage. –Myrtle Fillmore

It is not your action that matters; it is your vibration…it is not what you are doing that makes the difference; it is how you are feeling about what you are doing. –Abraham

According to Plato's law, as you feel grateful, you become attractive, not only in your beauty and radiance, but in your relationships with people. More important, you release the vital energy that draws two opportunities, employment, and secure flow of substance. Everything begins to work in your life in an orderly and creative way. You may be so uplifted in the joy of thanksgiving that your consciousness easily gives vent to the activity of blessing. In your gratefulness of heart, you can confirm prosperity upon all the many things, experiences, and people, whose performances have such a profound influence on your life. Bless the car you drive or the bus or train you ride. Bless the weather and the traffic. Bless your place of business employment. Bless your employer and your coworkers. Bless your investments and your cash flow. Bless your home and family. Bless your friends and neighbors. –From Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth.

"A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things." –Plato

Today I Live
All books of spiritual wisdom have said that it is not the one who makes the mistake whom we should seek to destroy; it is the mistake it's self that must be erased... If we behold beauty instead of ugliness, then beauty will appear. If we persist in seeing the true rather than the false, that which is true will appear. Let us, then, cease weeping over the shortcomings and mistakes and evils of our yesterday and, steadfastly beholding the face of the great and the divine reality, let us resolve to walk in the light where in there is no darkness. –Ernest Holmes, 365 Science of Mind, June 17th

Prosperity
I prosper by seeing and claiming the good.

    While many distractions in life may lead me to focus on what is not working, today I choose a prosperous outlook instead. I remember to “look for the good.” In fact, I make this my mantra for everyday life.
    Even if I face some challenges, I see blessings in my health, creative endeavors, finances, and family. I see openness, kindness, and other positive qualities within myself.
    I even see the good that can come from tragedy. I notice how communities affected by natural disasters band together to rebuild homes and lives. By seeing the good, I feel uplifted. My prosperous attitude inspires others as well. The multiplying power of prosperity is at work through me—and it is good!

May you see the prosperity … all the days of your life.–Psalm 128:5

The Funniest Thing! Mail Bag

From Linda Leapley Meadows, Indianapolis, Indiana

Love, love your show! I listen on Unity.FM while I'm getting ready for work one morning and then watch the YouTube episode later in the week for a second blessing and lift! The real life examples you give are SO meaningful and helpful. Thanks for all the energy and time you both put into making each show. I know you have to be helping lots of other people beside me!!

From Karen B.

Dear Darrell and Ed or Dear Ed and Darrell (lol),

My husband encouraged me to share the following with you:
On one of your shows, you suggested that any person could walk into a catholic church at any time to pray. I liked the idea, so my husband and I went to one in our neighborhood. We had a very positive experience and plan to visit this church again in the future.
While sitting in the chapel, I turned down the volume on my phone as low as possible; nonetheless it rang with mildly audible vibration. I ignored the call. Later, in the car, I listened to the voicemail which was from my pharmacy. My prescriptions were ready; two which are routinely provided for free by a local grocery chain. I said to my husband "Perhaps the timing of this phone call (while we were in the chapel) is meant as a reminder of our blessings." Furthermore, one might make the connection that prayer is free medicine!

Sincerely, your fan

From Becky Watson, Norfolk, VA

I'm in need of some "spiritual guidance" and "scripture" text ... on Sunday, 6/21 I'm honored to welcome the sun during an Alzheimer's Association event called the Longest Day ... we will be using a gong, tone chimes and light heart beat drumming ... I'm looking for a meaningful bible/scripture verse to open the event and/or to chant ... any suggestions?

Darrell and Ed replied:

Hello Becky,

Considering the event, the incredible work you do, and the insight you've shared with us on the show, Ed and I offer you these suggestions.

"Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold, but let God remold your mind from within." Romans 1:2

"God does the work. All we have to do is to believe it." –Found in margin, Darrell wrote this in the margin of his copy of Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth.

"Time and space obliterated! I live in the wonderful now, birthless and deathless! I am one with The One!" –From Your Word is Your Wand by Florence Scovel Schinn.

And that's not all...

One more came to mind:

From 1 Corinthians 13

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

We hope you find these helpful.

Darrell and Ed love you!!

And Becky responded:

Hi Darrell and Ed,

I have to share this one as well ...another beautiful scripture ...

Isaiah 58:8

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,

and your healing will quickly appear;

then your righteousness[a] will go before you,

and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

Wow, what a wonderful journey planning this event has been...so much

love and kindness from everyone...I'm SO BLESSED!!

Becky

From a fan in Oregon named Tammy requesting an autographed copy of Darrell's book, "What If Godzilla Just Wanted a Hug?"

Hello, I really enjoy your online radio show with Ed. I'm looking forward to reading your book! Thank you!

Darrell signed the inside title page with an original cartoon just for Tammy.

And the outside got one too!

End The War on Joy

L-R, Edward Biagiotti and Darrell Fusaro

Blessed literally means "happy." Trust joy as a green light from God. Stephanie Havelka, founder and innovator of Sportkini, drops in to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Pray for Others." Click here to download/listen.

The 3 Breaths
"I do myself a favor, and share joy with my neighbor."

So what does it mean to be blessed? The word blessed Jesus used in the Sermon on the Mount is from the Greek word makarios, which means to be happy or blissful, but it also means a self-contained happiness. The Greeks called the Island of Cyprus "the happy isle." They believed that because of its geographical location, perfect climate, and fertile soil that anyone who lived on Cyprus had it made in the shade. And the term they associated with the island was makarios. They believed everything you needed to be happy was right there on Cyprus.
We can't all move to Cyprus, but the idea is that our happiness is independent of our circumstances. It is self-contained, meaning that regardless of what is happening to us externally, we can be truly happy internally. We can be genuinely blessed as followers of Jesus Christ. –BibleHub.com

You can never have a happy ending at the end of an unhappy journey; it just doesn't work out that way. The way you're feeling, along the way, is the way you're continuing to pre-pave your journey, and it's the way it's going to continue to turn out until you do something about the way you are feeling. --- Abraham

    What are the most wonderful things about God, for the human point of view, it is unexpectedness.   When we pray in the true spiritual manner, leaving the solution to Him, and desiring only that His will may be done–because we know that the Will of God is always something Joyous and good–we know that our prayers will be answered, but we never know just how.
    God answers prayer in the most unexpected way; and that is half the fun.   When we pray it usually seems that there is some obvious way in which the demonstration will come–and then, lo and behold, it comes in and surprising and delightful way. Sometimes it seems that there is no way, humanly speaking, in which the problem can be solved, and yet solved it is, and in some glorious and thrilling manner.
     God acts out of the blue, so to speak. If we would only have a quiet faith in our prayer, without being tense or fussing, leaving the ways and means to Him, but being confident that the demonstration will come, come it will, and the result will always be even better than we hoped.
    "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee thine desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4
–Make Your Life Worthwhile, Emmet Fox.

Value Yourself: Beloved, believe us when we say that as you give to yourself, so you give to others. Nurture yourself as a way of caring for your family, friends, and the entire population. Value yourself as a means of cherishing everyone on earth; honor yourself in order to pay tribute to all others.
The more you give to yourself, the more you feel great love - and that emotion is the key to happiness and peace. Your self-care extends the joyful spark of creation for the benefit of all. -–Doreen Virtue, Daily Guidance from Your Angels

Pray for Others
When I pray for others, I experience our Oneness.

    Praying for others is a sacred honor. I may pray for someone by writing their name on my prayer list. I visualize each person on my list and see them as God does. I speak an affirmative prayer specifically for them.
    If someone seeks guidance, I see them walking confidently in the direction of their good. For healing, I imagine them whole, well, energized, and free. When I hear of someone’s heartache, I envision them wrapped in the peace of Spirit.
    When I pray for others, I pray for myself. I empathize, knowing our human experience has similar challenges. We are one in Spirit—strong, wise, and whole.

Therefore … pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.–James 5:16

Happy campers never skip a dose of Darrell and Ed. L-R, Darrell Fusaro, Edward Biagiotti

Expecting the best is not only allowed, it's recommended. We always reap more than we sow when we trust in God. And, in the second segment, Unity minister David McClure joins Darrell and Ed to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Grace." Click here to download podcast.

The 3 Breaths
"I'm in the right place, when I trust in God's grace."

It is man's divine right to have plenty! More than enough! "His barns should be full, and his cup should flow over!" This is God's idea for man, and when man breaks down the barriers of lack in his own consciousness, the Golden Age will be his, and every righteous desire of his heart fulfilled! –The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn, pg 38.

Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: Something is important here; otherwise, I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want? And then simply turn your attention to what you do want. . . . In the moment you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop; and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And—in that moment—your feeling will change from not feeling good to feeling good. That is the Process of Pivoting. –Abraham, Excerpted from the workshop: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008

Why should you not expect the greatest and the finest in your life? We exist in a Divine bounty that awaits our taking, and the way of taking is a mental one that starts with desire, decision, and expectancy. No one is ever too young or too old to expect great things. No one is to poor or too rich to expect great things. If you're sick, expect to get well. If you are unhappy, expect to be happy. No power outside yourself is demanding that you be miserable. All of life want you to be healthy, happy and free to do what you want to do. –Raymond Charles Barker, The Power of Decision, pg 123.

There is nothing we have done, said or thought which rises up against us, which has power over us or which limits us; there is no memory of fear, no condemnation for previous mistakes. ... The Universe holds nothing against us; It can hold nothing against us, because It can know nothing unlike Itself. Therefore, It only knows us as perfect. There has never been an occurrence for which we have to suffer! Consequently, every apparent short comment-which could be traced to some mental or spiritual infringement of the Law-is not only removed but the effect is healed! This means there is no history to our case. –The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes, pg 561.

Grace
I open my heart to God’s grace.

    God’s love includes an ever-present source of ease—the gift of divine grace. If I am praying for resolution to a situation for myself or a loved one, I affirm the truth: The activity of God’s grace ensures every need is met.
    While grace is always there, I may close my heart to the peace it provides. As I stay in touch with God through prayer and meditation, I become more aware of the life-giving presence of grace. I expect a happy, healthy solution to emerge as I ask for guidance.
    Grace heals me and prepares me to accept more goodness in my life. Prosperity, joy, and peace are mine. I open my heart to grace and bask in my Oneness with God.

Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.—Romans 1:5

Great companion episodes to this one are, Grace is Our Ace in the Hole, and, Doing What You Love IS Being of Service.

The Funniest Thing! Mail Bag

From Eric Varndell, Medina, Ohio

I'm currently in India. I've been traveling almost 3 weeks for my new job. The funniest thing happened today. On the plane from Ahmedebad to Bangalore, I "coincidentally" was seated next to a sister in the Brahmkumaris World Spiritual Church. We started talking and she told be all about her highly evolved spiritual life. It was incredible. I realized as she was talking to me how much of the eastern philosophy Chuck and Mert (the Fillmores) took from eastern religion for Unity. It was like I was talking to a Unity Minister. But an Indian. And in India. And not associated at all with Unity. You know what I mean.

This whole experience has just reinforced for me all the stuff you and Ed talk about on the show. This job came to me easily and effortlessly and look at where it has already taken me (I've also been to Panama and Mexico City twice since taking the job less than 3 months ago.) Eric
