What is spiritual grace? I studied spiritual grace in college as part of my philosophy curriculum but its meaning felt elusive. The classical thinkers who wrote about grace couldn’t seem to pin it down or successfully convey their personal epiphanies around it. Now, many years later, I see that grace is hard to describe because it is so different from the limiting world we humans have known. We have been taught that everything is conditional, and most especially that love is conditional, whereas grace is unconditional love in action. Grace is total, loving forgiveness and acceptance of all, no matter what has happened, and I believe that grace will save humanity.
Grace will save us all, and it begins within each of us. Grace begins within you. When you completely accept yourself with total forgiveness and zero judgment, you can finally love yourself without conditions. You are able to love yourself fully and utterly, as though you are your own beloved child. This all-accepting love that you can feel for yourself restores your spiritual innocence, no matter what you have been through on earth. You feel immaculate love for yourself just as Godsource does, and you regain your divine perspective. This is when you are able to love everyone else this same way too, for when you love yourself unconditionally, this allows you to love others unconditionally as well. And that is when you bring grace unto this sacred earth. You accept everyone with all your heart, and you act as a benevolent creator being.
You are a magnificent and powerful creator being of total love, and you can create grace that directly affects us all. You can feel grace in your heart and declare out loud: “I AM a magnificent and powerful creator being of total love, and I am creating grace, and so it is.” This is a miracle in action, lighting the way out of the darkness, forging the path to heaven-on-earth. Yes, you experienced darkness so that you could rise like a phoenix from the ashes and lift this entire human paradigm with grace. You plunged into the sorry depths and then loved it all no matter what, freeing yourself and raising humanity up.
Grace is the natural antidote to all that ails us—to infighting, disease, unrest and violence. But grace is not something that you have to earn. It is not something to be metered out and bartered. You deserve grace; it is your birthright, and it is not selective. Grace does not pick sides—we all deserve a loving paradigm! We are all beloved children of Godsource, and we deserve to feel how cherished we are and to flourish. It is the same with gratitude. True gratitude is not conditional. It does not mean that you are thankful despite this or that. Gratitude means that you are completely thankful without conditions. You feel the full preciousness of all that you are thankful for without limitations.
I am so tired of hearing, “If humanity doesn’t do this or that, then we are doomed.” Please understand that our evolution is not conditional. Evolution is our natural destiny, and honestly, could anything be more obvious? We have become so used to having our natural resources squeezed and limited at every turn, including our own love, that we blindly come up with solutions that are also limited. There is no 3D solution that is going to save us—we are ascending to higher dimensions, and infinite grace is our rocket fuel.
You aren’t meant to remain stuck in endless loops of suffering and survival but to be free with God-given grace and to evolve into a divine human being. But how do you conjure grace when your human experience has been so heartbreaking and you have felt so much emotional suffering? You simply understand that you were playing a game of survival and feeling wounded, and you don’t have to play that game any more. You can leave others to play that old game out for themselves if they want to but you lead with your own game now—the game of grace, and you get started playing immediately! But how do you practice grace with those who have really hurt you, especially those who seem to hurt you repeatedly? You look upon these people as you have looked upon yourself—as precious children who got lost in a game of wounding that you no longer want to play. You say goodbye to their game and to them at that level. You say goodbye to feeling wounded and wronged forever, and you embody spiritual grace instead.
Every moment presents you with a treasured opportunity to choose hell or to choose heaven instead. You can give in to worry and fear, and have a horrible experience, or you can look at what is beautiful and holy, and have a heavenly time! You can judge and complain, criticize and take sides, or you can see the divine within and lift people up, and unify us with your love. You can act with grace and choose heaven right now—heaven is always available to you, and grace is how you get there.
It can be helpful to understand that the left brain does not believe in grace but the right brain absolutely does. You can soothe the worries of your left brain by soothing your own brow with your hands whenever you feel troubles creep in. Physically put your hands on your head and wipe your thoughts away as a mother would comfort her precious child.
Let us soothe our fears away and bless our world with grace, starting from the inside out. Let us radiate all-accepting love all around and link with others who are creating grace with us. Together, our sacred work is gaining momentum, and we are building a shining world of unconditional love. We are reuniting, one by ONE, at our long-awaited Homecoming—indeed, we are coming home for our penultimate Thanksgiving, and your LOVE is our saving grace.
