Inviting the Right People

Today's talk centers around inviting the right people into our lives. Life is a journey of love, and our lives are shaped by those that love us and by those that do not love us. So it is important that we consciously invite the right people into our experience: "New, sincere friends and loved ones now enter my life, showering me with goodness, and I shower them with my goodness. The world is full of charming people who now lovingly help me in every way, and I lovingly help them in every way." Later in the talk, we are blessed to witness the marriage of a young couple, Darren and Teresa, as they commit their lives to one another, surrounded by the friends and loved ones who have been their goodness. The vows they share form the following affirmative prayer: I know that there is not two, but one. We are on the same journey, sharing the same love for each other. I share everything, hold nothing back, love completely and without reservation. I do now, and will always, believe the best in you, speak the truth in love, and hold you in perfect prayer. I love you with the deepest love I know. I rest in this love, which is in you and me, and everything, and I am full of joy and gratitude. Our journey of spiritual unfoldment continues from this day, originating from the same Source, fueled by the same Love, nurtured by the same unending commitment to our mutual growth in Spirit. And so it is.
