Spoken Words of Love: Melanie Lutz talks Mels Love Land at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore

It’s amazing how it’s always all there.

So many cues, clues and symbols. Opening doors into new worlds just waiting. Waiting for the decoding and the processing and the recognition.

Sitting right in front of you.   

With the popularity of Dan Brown novels and all the scholars and resources and the internet you would think it would be easier to get it.

It took me a bit of time to find this recording of my first bookstore reading of Mels Love Land.  Through the magical practice of love and patience and faith, I share it now for your listening pleasure.  It was recorded at the now moved Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood, California with lots of friends, strangers, lovers and family in the audience.

Enjoy.



Mels Love Land is a love movement into the heart of unconditional self love. It is a practice of seeing with love and having that be the beginning and ending of every conversation. Love is the decoder to every situation you find yourself in.

Like The Miracle Worker caring, loving, exhausting herself, to understand the blind and deaf, Helen Keller, to make a connection to something, to breakthrough the darkness, to find the sign and symbol that would lead to a light filled recognition and open the gateways of communication. A flash of a memory. Water. Water would open the door of recognition and language.  It nearly killed both of them, but once the connection was made, Helen Keller was able to unlock a way to speak, to share her voice, to open up to new possibilities.

Once you get “water” is this… instinct. feeling. emotion. You can use it to decode all the hidden messages in everything. It is all possible. Getting that first key stone is sometimes the hardest, as blinders are built into the universal framework, but ultimately with care and work and faith seeing through clouded and skewed vision and distorted perceptions is possible.

When we see. Life is easier. Love is easier.   

Seeing leads to the promised land.
            
Elaine Strich had it from her show At Liberty “I am mad as hell that I had to go through what I had to go through to get to what I’ve gotten to.”  And. Here I am. We’ve all gone through what we needed to go through, we’ve seen the outcomes of behavior, we’ve cycled through disconnection, we see the truth. We know what doesn’t feel warm and friendly, we know what closes our hearts, we know what we need to be. We are not going to be able to hide behind fences, technology, or whatever defenses we imagine will help us, the planetary population has eradicated that possibility. We are like little rabbits walking into the light for the first time naked into the perceived battlefield. Realizing how connected we are, realizing there is no one left to squeeze to make a profit, no dumps left to fill. No ways that can’t be inherent in our means. We are interdependent on each other. We are here to help each other. We are here to be in service with love.

If you are inspired please reach out, we have many loving activities to inspire and ignite your soul.

Divine Love and Wisdom Unfolds When Wisdom is Applied to Commitment...

“A wise old Owl sat on an oak, The more he saw the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why aren't we all a bit more like that wise old bird?”

In the preface to Emanuel Swedenborg’s Divine Love and Wisdom the Latin Translator of the text talks about the sketch of a Roman Garden that adorned the title page of each of Swedenborg’s books under the phrase Cura Et Labore "with care and work." The image of a beautiful garden with a cherub like Angel watering the plants tending to the well loved garden's growth and harmony strikes to the core of any process. 

It is a reminder of the wisdom and grace that exists when discipline is applied to commitment in realizing the fruits of our labor. It represents the opportunity for us to make manifest the joys of a life fully lived in divine Love. When we enrich each moment with care and work, making conscious choices. Free of the energies that keep us bound. We allow nature to take its course in harmony without calling out the struggle, we effortlessly step into the full beauty of existence.

Move into the garden of your being remembering everything is as it is. You are exactly where you are supposed to be and you know absolutely how to tend to your needs. 

Swedenborg was one of the first and my favorite dude to express the idea of religion into the revelation of light and to translate the ideas into the concept of spirituality tramping through the late 1600's through 1772, that all the doors lead to the same place.  His roots into the ideals of mysticism are well documented and another of the Renaissance spirits who illuminated concepts outside of the current limitations of present conscious understanding.   Like Benjamin Franklin who would follow in Swedenborg's self publishing divinely inspired writings Swederborg is an inspiration.   Men of vision and insight and continual curiosity expanding principles into the hearts and minds of humanity to lead the way forward to freedom.

Spending the end of the year enjoying the spirit and love and all the wisdom imaginable celebrating how far on the journey to discover the truth I had come was the ultimate gift.  I know how blessed I am to know what I know and to get to participate with so many of you in sharing this beautiful, wonderful life.  Thanks again for all the miracles and thanks again for the laughs and most importantly thanks for all the memories.

Join me and the #LoveLand101 movement at www.loveland101.com and the Flight of the Soul inspirations on Beliefnet.com.

As we all begin new endeavors and new projects and new relationships while treasuring the old, as the days stretch forward filled with more and more light and love, may this new day bring you everything possible in service for the highest expression of who you are.  May you live in the fullest expression of joy and happiness possible and may you always remember whatever your circumstance the center of inner peace is yours.

lots of love,

Melanie
