Infinite Potential, the Law of Compassion, Bending a Knee

We spend our lives pushing to be higher and higher, better and better. We want to be the best, to be the top, to be number one.

But at what stake?

What do we give up in the process?

They say, ‘The mark of a true man is not how tall he stands, but how frequently he bends down to help those in need.’

How frequently are we willing to bend?

The goal of life is not the accumulation of more and more possessions, or more and more degrees.

The point of life is to move toward God, to realize our oneness with Him.

The point of life is to fill every moment with compassion, with love, with prayer and with service.

The Blessing and Virtue of Compassion, the Buddha:

There are billions, literally, of stories, of approaches, beliefs, and ways that attempting and arriving at the place of Oneness, enlightenment and you’re guided in all of these journeys by the Universal Laws, and might I say, the Law of Compassion (1) which tends to get very little attention.

I invoke the Law of Compassion.

I Am Non-judgement. I Am Love

Of course we must go to work and we must do our best in every possible arena. Of course we must attempt to succeed; we must live up to our fullest potential.

But, too frequently, we become narrow-minded in what we see as our ‘potential.’

The Blessing and Virtue of Truth (2)
Archangel Michael’s Blue Flame of Truth

Every day take my Blue Flame within your heart and burn away doubt and denial. That is the first piece.

So, begin your meditation, anchor in your heart, then burn away – yes there are many, Uriel, Jophiel, St. Germaine – but I am suggesting the Blue Flame, but all are more than adequate to say the least, burn away doubt, denial and limitation.

Then sit and allow the Blue Flame to expand and expand and consume you as if you are the Blue Flame, and in that, as if you are a sponge, allow your Infinite potential, from throughout the Universe, the multiverse, the omniverse and the Source, to fill you.

Allow the time to feel this sense of expansion.

Then again, anchored in your heart, center, ask, “Today, Michael, what is the expression of my Infinite potential?”

I will gladly tell you and it will be different on different days because not only are you diverse, and I speak to all of you, but each day you are doing different things, and that is an expression of your Infinite potential, and then – this is where the key lies – even if it seems outrageous or too benignly simple, please do it.

Is our potential merely financial, or academic, or professional?

Might we have another potential – a divine, compassionate, pious, devoted potential that is just waiting to blossom?

Let us vow to live up to every potential – not just those that confront us obviously in our daily life, but also those which may be hidden below the surface.

Let us learn that each race in life may have two different paths for success; let us learn that compassion, love and unity are much more everlasting achievements than a blue ribbon.

Let us vow to turn our heads around frequently and see whether, perhaps, there is someone who needs our help.
