It’s A Wonderful Life

by Rob Loveland, posted in Article, spiritual guidance

I had an “ah-ha” moment this morning about how the purpose of life in this 3rd Dimension of duality and separation is really about discovering ourselves, about understanding who we really are as divine beings.  

We often wonder, perhaps even astonished by, why we have to experience so much darkness and adversity in life.  But it has become clear to me that this realm of duality is the perfect mechanism to wake us up to the truth that we are the creators of the circumstances in our lives.  We may unconsciously stumble through this life and many others, but eventually we will get it.  

You see, we can’t see and appreciate all the good things in life without first experiencing their opposite.  Really, how do we know what good is until we clearly see what it isn’t?  And when we’ve had enough of what we don’t want, we will at that point take conscious control of the reins and start focusing on what we DO want.  

As I thought through this, the film It’s A Wonderful Life came to mind.  If you haven’t seen the film, you’re depriving yourself of a classic … and a good cry!  I highly recommend it, as it’s one of my all-time favorites.

In the film’s story, George Bailey gets frustrated with the darkness and hardships in the world and wishes he’d never been born, assuming everyone would better off without him.  His guardian angel grants him that wish, and takes him on a journey to experience what life would have been without his influence, most of which he was never aware.  Of course, it has a happy, uplifting ending that makes me cry every time (no matter how many times I’ve seen it!), as he realizes he really has had a wonderful life.

Now, most of us don’t have the luxury of interacting with our guardian angel in such a physical way, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there, ready and willing to help at all times.  We simply have to choose to approach life from that perspective.  

The point is that we can choose to live our lives focusing on the negative, or we can choose to focus on the many blessings all around us.  We may not see them at first, but that’s only because we aren’t looking for them.  Start to look for them and acknowledge them … and then be amazed at how abundant they truly are!

Yes, it really is a wonderful life, and this world of seeming separation and duality is a wonderful system to lead us to that conclusion … in fact, it’s perfect, and I am grateful for the opportunity to experience it!

Last Call for The Infinity Keys Workshop Series

by Rob Loveland, posted in Article, Upcoming Course

This coming Saturday, 29 Aug 2026, is the start of The Infinity Keys Workshop Series, but it’s not too late to register!

The fundamental point behind all that we will address is that our own beliefs shape how we experience the world and our lives in it.  Whether you see it as chaotic, lonely, judgmental, controlling, or fearful, it all comes down to our choices at a mental, emotional, and spiritual level.  This is what we will be tackling in this 6-part series, hopefully to show how the Infinity Keys, i.e. the pairings of the Keys to Self and the Keys to Heaven, offers a way to reframe our thoughts and beliefs to find that place of heaven within.

If you haven’t done so already, please consider joining Jennifer Donaldson and me for this experiential series to learn who you really are and what power you already have.  Check out the website to learn more and to register.

Looking For Myself

by Rob Loveland, posted in Article, spiritual guidance

I recently saw this cartoon on the Buddhist Humor 2.0 Facebook Group, and I literally laughed out loud!  It resonates so much because it’s true.  While we may be wondering, “Where’s Waldo?,” we also have to keep in mind that he’s just another face in the crowd searching for himself … as we all are.

No matter how long I’ve been involved in the study of spiritual truths and no matter how much wisdom I may have ve absorbed, there’s always more to learn.  And the more I learn, the more I realize that it’s all about understanding who we truly are … and that has nothing to do with what we see in the mirror staring back at us!

The Council of Love defines wisdom as the “understanding of the Divine Plan,” “the unfoldment of each thing and being’s place within that Plan,” and “is the bedrock understanding that we are all One.” Ultimately, it “is the ability to comprehend the difference between believing, thinking, and knowing.” [1]  What we believe to be true about the world is nothing more than a mental construct we’ve created to frame it.  That is, what we see out there is a reflection of what we believe within ourselves and ABOUT ourselves.  This is the truth behind the Universal Law of As Within-So Without.  

And, more often than not, that internal mental construct and belief system is that we are separate from all others.  But, if we are all One, then that belief cannot be true!

The search for the Divine Plan is a journey that starts within ourselves, but it also ends within ourselves.  Every spiritual seeker who is searching for God in the external world ultimately finds that treasure within his/her own heart, at which point As Within-So Without/As Above-So Below becomes real.  If you want to change the world, then change your thoughts about the world, knowing that YOU ARE THE DIVINITY YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR!

[The Infinity Keys Workshop Series, starting on 29 Aug 2026, will focus heavily on this notion of being able to discern what we believe and think from what we know as immutable truth.  Please check out the website for the workshop series to learn more.]

Demonstrate the Blessings Anyway …

by Rob Loveland, posted in Article, spiritual info

[This is a poem inspired by Spirit, albeit one whose structure was borrowed from another.  I’m no poet, but I like how this turned out. — Rob]

As so often happens, I was quietly contemplating spiritual concepts when the poem, “Do It Anyway,” came to mind, and I questioned what that would look like if focused on the 13 Diving Qualities / Blessings and Virtues [1].  To remind you, the poem, “Do It Anyway,” was written by Kent M. Keith, but popularized by Mother Teresa (most often remembered by the one stanza, “The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.”)

So for me, holding fast to the 13 Blessings and Virtues in a chaotic world would look something like this:

The world may pressure you to make hasty and easy decisions. — Be prudent anyway.

The world may convince you to disregard the plight of others. — Be compassionate anyway.

The world may encourage you to give up. — Stand in fortitude anyway.

The world may seem hopeless. — Keep hope alive anyway.

The world may reward the ego-centric. — Express humility anyway.

The world may encourage you to be greedy. — Be charitable anyway.

The world may entice you with the morally wrong. — Be pure anyway.

The world may advocate for the unbelievable. — Hold to the truth anyway.

The world may present you many plausible stories. — Apply your wisdom anyway.

The world may seem entirely mundane. — Hold a sense of awe anyway.

The world may show you ugliness. — See the beauty anyway.

The world may make happiness seem elusive. — Find the joy anyway.

The world may look to keep you down. — Allow Heaven to show you grace.

The 13 Blessings and Virtues are the waypoints of Nova Earth, so I hope this serves as an inspirational roadmap to help you find peace in these seemingly chaotic times.  In spite of outward appearances, we’re on the doorstep of realizing the promises of a new world, and with a dedicated focus on what truly matters, we will surely find our way there … together.

He Who Seeks Finds …

by Rob Loveland, posted in Article, spiritual info

[It’s been quite a while since I posted an article, rather than a channeling, but I do as I’m inspired to do … 😉👍 — Rob]

I woke up last Sunday morning with a phrase running through my mind.  Having slept in on such a lazy morning, I kept thinking about it, and several more phrases came to mind.  As I thought about it over the next two hours, more and more phrases spontaneously revealed themselves … so, of course, I took it as a clear message from spirit! 

Rob Channeling

The message shaped up as this:

Seek nature and find grandeur;

Seek the young and find hope;

Seek meaning and find truth;

Seek the truth and find wonder;

Seek blessings and find gratitude;

Seek solitude and find peace;

Seek love and find Heaven;

Seek yourself and find God.

~~~

These are all based on (and expand on) Jesus’/Yeshua’s teaching in Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) :

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

The most important revelation about each of these phrases is that in order to find the blessing at the end, one must take action first.  But, these aren’t grand, laborious actions.  They reflect the quiet, internal contemplation of eternal truths, something one can do at any time, irrespective of what is happening in the world.

It doesn’t matter how chaotic the world is or your life may be.  You can always go within, where the external events cannot enter.  Intrusions can only happen if you allow them.  If you focus on the negativity, then you will surely find it.  But, if you want to find blessings, they are there to be found as well!  You simply have to look for them.

For me, so many of these truths are embodied in the face of my young granddaughter, in the form of hope, wonder, gratitude, peace, and love, all of which confirms the presence of the Divine.  When I look at her and think about the future of our beautiful planet, I am filled with joy! And I can’t help but wonder, “Little Miss Magic, whatcha gonna be?” [1]
