A client once asked me how we could possibly love people who inflict hate and suffering on this planet; it seems they are not deserving of universal love.
 
Counter-intuitive as it seems, sending love to our “enemies” is the most natural and effective means to miracle manifestation the Universe can muster and mirror.
 
As I posed the aforementioned question in a quasi-meditative state, I heard Jesus speak quite firmly. 

[Now, when Jesus speaks, this is not a categorically “religious” or formal conversation and, as he would proclaim, he is among us, not above us – he’s a friend and a teacher.  It’s literally like we’re sitting, sharing a nice spot o’ tea together… just in my head, though I wish he were physically here sometimes (don’t we all?). Needless to say, when Jesus speaks, I listen. Intently.]
 
He says:
“You know that is the furthest from the Truth.  Inside every human and living thing is the Spirit or Christ light.  The number of layers to protect this light from vulnerability does not matter.  It is still, and eternally, there.
 
Our power as humans in our physical form is to send our light to their light, often like planting seeds ready to sprout in this lifetime or another when that person is ready.
 
We can commune with their Higher Self, the part of all of us that connects directly with our Creator, to their Higher Self when the human wounded ego cannot hear.  It thus releases us of the urge to judge or control their seemingly irrational behavior.
 
By sending love, you are ‘boomerang loving’ yourself.  And we give our angels and guides an opportunity to step in where we feel powerless.”
 

Here’s an exercise in LOVE for all the Warriors of Forgiveness out there.  This exercise is based on the visualizations I received during this conversation with Jesus as well as one of my favorite lessons (Lesson 78: Let miracles replace all grievances) outlined in A Course in Miracles:

Choose a person you might consider an enemy. Could be someone close to you or someone more globally frustrating for you.  Close your eyes and connect to your Higher Self which carries no wounded ego (judgment, condemnation, etc.).  You can do this by focusing on your crown and simply calling in your Highest Spirit self. Don’t overthink. Just feel “light.”
 
In your Higher Self form, see, feel or sense that person across from you, dressed in white.  Know who they are separate from their human body and heaviness.  This may take time and practice, so if you have difficulty initially, don’t give up!  Send them love from the heart space, in the form of rays of light.  Send them love, the love they need to feel and perhaps did not receive in their childhood.  Watch as all the layers of fear, retaliation, sadness fall aside.  And, as they do, a seed of hope appears in their palms – shaped like an electric blue raindrop.  Watch as they drop that seed into their own human mind space right in between the hemispheres of the brain. 
 
This seed of hope will burst forth and grow in divine timing, at that individual’s awakening.  Trust in this.  If you are struggling, just repeat: I trust in this process.  For the betterment of ALL.
 
Take a deep breath in… and out.  Thank your healing team.  Daily, send this person prayers, out of love – not judgment, spite or pity.  Surround them by angels.  As you do this simple step, you heal the conscious collective.  Such acts of forgiveness, as Jesus says, is the premise of miracle manifestation for yourself, the ones who surround you, and ultimately the world.

Amen and so be it!
