The Soul comes to Earth to learn how to restore love. We can only do this by being present to relationship in all of its forms and textures. The task is to struggle to remain present and to "eat impressions." To "eat" emotions, reactions, and judgments does not mean to suppress them but to remain present to them and allow the body to transform the energy. The "practice of presence" is not a philosophy; it is a practice which restores relationship. This only seems unnatural, at first, because of a lifetime of learned habits to avoid relationship. If we are not conscious of the body, we are not conscious and therefore cannot restore love. Restoring love is done through kindness, forgiveness, and apology. This talk is based on material provided by Red Hawk. The restoration of love is a practice that is always available. We can learn to praise what is praiseworthy instead of looking at what we disagree with or feel we cannot forgive. Relationship can be a bigger priority than being right. We can cultivate the mindset of being of service to what is needed in the environment. Our work is to discover our work and then give ourselves to it with all of our heart. We can give others our attention, which is love, in everyday circumstances such as are discussed in the role of a cashier in a supermarket. Love is a stable condition of being that can be developed. It can be uncomfortable to be vulnerable when one practices restoring love. Being a human being is messy, but we can clean up our messes. Remorse is the fuel that can bring about transformation and is a conscious decision not to act in the same way; beating oneself up through guilt is a bad habit. Quandaries continue to present themselves, but to stay with the process is the way through. Elise Erro (e.e.) has been committed to a life of engaging spiritual principles and service through theater, support for the dying, and bringing enjoyment to others as a chocolatier.
