It takes great spiritual muscle and God Presence to be able to "show up".

SHOWING UP:

	Means being fully Conscious and present with whatever is happening at any given moment
	Means seeing beyond the drama and carrying God Consciousness everywhere you go
	Means not being seduced by the illusion, but having compassion and full awareness of the Big Picture in each moment
	Means embracing your ego and the others' ego
	Means not being in reaction to anything or anyone
	Means accepting Divine Order and releasing your personal agenda
	Means accepting your humanity and the other's humanity
	Means accepting your Divinity and the other's Divinity
	Is the state of Being
	Is to be Love
	Is to open the door to the Divine so that others may walk through
	Is to not create separation between what is going on inside you and what is going on outside you
	Is full awareness of God Which You Are
	Is "holding the space" so that others may experience themselves in loving acceptance
	Is the breath of God flowing through all of life
	Is to allow Soul to guide you unceasingly
	Is working the energy around our unfinished mommy/daddy business
	Is the Continuum of Consciousness
	Is taking spontaneous action with Soul guidance
	Is standing in the longest line at the supermarket purposefully

AND BE LOVINGLY PRESENT:

	Means being in a state of acceptance
	Means living in a state of gratitude
	Means not having a personal agenda
	Means living from Soul Awareness
	Means expressing the Love in your Heart
	Means being focused in the Now
	Is our natural state of Being
	Is setting aside the ego
	Is living from your Truth
	Is not taking things personally
	Is seeing the Big Picture
	Is being Love

NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUT THERE:

	Means whatever is happening outside yourself
	Means whatever experience you are having
	Means whatever events are taking place
	Means wherever you are
	Means now
	Means filtering through your senses
	Is the illusion we call reality
	Is very seductive
	Is a reflection of what you are experiencing within
	Is the challenge of living a human existence

OR INSIDE YOURSELF:

	Means your thoughts and feelings
	Means filtering through your senses
	Means your personal history
	Is your identity/ego personality
	Is mirrored by what is outside
	Is how you see yourself
	Is your egoic attachments

For me, this is one of the most challenging aspects of my Awakening. To Be Lovingly Present when my buttons are getting pushed is a monumental undertaking. Just about all of me struggles with staying present and loving at these moments. I am not always able or willing to do this because my ego wants to have its way. It wants to hurt those who have hurt me. To make them pay for the pain I believe they have caused me. However, I know that no one else is really doing anything to me. But still I want to strike out at them because it is easier than to admit that I am causing all of my own pain and reaction. We teach there is no one outside of ourselves that does anything to us, ever. By being Conscious and working on this over and over again in the inchworm fashion, it does get easier. Slowly but surely, I am Showing Up And Being Lovingly Present No Matter What It Looks Like Out There Or Inside Myself. My ego is releasing its hold over me. I am changing. I am remembering who I am - LOVE.
