The best lover is a peaceful person.

If you are contemplating a way to return back to your own peace, first, I want to say, do not give up your joy in order to be a better person. Many times as a human being, especially when we have important responsibilities in our life to take care of ourselves and take care of other people, we feel that the more righteous thing to do is give up what we really care about, what we really love in order to serve something else we love more. 


This concept comes from a paradigm rooted in that sacrificial culture where you have to cut off a finger in order to have a spirit journey or vision to be carried into the higher realms, or even similarly, nowadays, to take drugs or psychedelics in order to be connected with Divine Source. 


People think in order to access a higher realm of peace and joy in life, we have to sacrifice something that is important to us in order to obtain or reach what is right. 


Let’s redefine what it means to be right. First, we have to be right with ourselves, recognizing that our life, our body, and our mind are the portals to God. We are the first portal, we are the first messenger between our mind and the Divine Creator's mind. That is how we tap into “no separation” between us and a Higher Self. So if you are seeking peace, you do not have to sacrifice a very important part of yourself that gives you happiness in order to obtain righteousness and be right in the eyes of the Lord or right in the eyes of people you love— or to take care of people you love. 


We have to recognize that there is no separation, right? Not only between us and the Divine, but between us and that which we love. If we neglect our joy, if we neglect our happiness, and therefore, neglect our peace, we cannot give love and happiness, and peace to someone else. That is an illusion. That is a false reality. But many people take that road. Many people start walking that path. If you’re resonating with that, whether that's you or someone else you know, we all do this at some point on our journey. We do this because we're afraid of being wrong. We are afraid of failure. We're afraid of letting other people down, and we are afraid of judgment. We're afraid of failing our responsibilities.


But what I'm trying to share with you today is this actually can't happen. You can't have both A and B here. If you're committed to your own inner peace and happiness and joy, then and only then can you gift all of these things to someone else. That is a responsible person. 


If we are not responsible for our own lives, how can we be responsible for the lives of other people? Taking responsibility does not mean just serving financially or serving with the body or serving with our intellectualism. To be of service, to be of use to someone, is to quite simply share love. So, to be responsible is to love at our highest capacity. If we do not have love, we cannot be responsible. If we are not a responsible lover, there's not much we can give. 


You can give the superficial things: food, shelter, and money all that you want. But hate and resentment can still come up, even if you give these things to someone else. Unlimited, infinitely, you can give these things, and they can still hate you and resent you if they are not coming from a place of love. 


If you're not sharing love, that other person cannot receive love from you, and if you are not receiving love from someone, it is even more difficult to give love back. It is this repeating cycle that we find within ourselves of pursuing false righteousness, false caretaking, and false responsibilities. Martyrdom and self-destruction become the idol of admiration instead of love. 


But we can't model this, especially for people we care about that we take care of. We cannot model self-destruction. We have to model inner peace. Inner peace comes when we allow ourselves to enjoy life. It is not a sin, it is not wrong to enjoy your life. You can enjoy your life and be responsible. You can enjoy your life and be successful.


I hope this message helps someone. Thank you so much for reading. I wish you peace. I wish you love, I wish you abundance. Whatever it is that you need, you can access it, you can have it. If you allow it, if you let go of fear and tune into the present moment and the peace that lives within you. It is you and every moment of every hour. 


If I can be of service to you, please let me know. I'm available for one-on-one sessions for divine clarity. If you are on the soul mission, the path of life purpose, and you're seeking to clarify what that vision is from the Dvine, that is what I'm here as a prophet, an oracle for you.


If you're further along your journey, you are already in business or in your creative process, then I'm also here to help you as a professional copywriter, as a campaign developer, a website developer, anything you need, I'm here to help make sure that you see your own success and you follow through with what the Divine is asking you to do at this time because we are all here on this collective mission in not only embodying peace, but sharing peace with the world that desperately needs it. 


So if I could be of service, please reach out to me by email, raileigh@consciouslifestylecoaching.com. You can check out my books and other free resources at consciouslifestylecoaching.com.
