Scott & Shannon's
Love Story

Everyone wants to be perfectly loved – but it sure didn’t seem possible to either of us after our separate divorces. 

Yet today, we feel like the happiest married couple in the universe. There are profound lessons here for anyone seeking perfect love. 

Scott’s story:

After my divorce, I felt unworthy and sad that I would never experience genuine love.  Yet I knew I had a lot of love to give.  In the quiet of meditation, I came to a revealing conclusion:  Why shouldn’t I be loved as richly as I could give love?  This idea empowered my sense of self-esteem.  

Over the next months, this idea kept strengthening until, finally, in the privacy of my own consciousness, it exploded in light.  I thought, “This is even bigger than deserving to be well loved.  I deserve to be perfectly loved!”  

I knew right then that it was inevitable that I would experience perfect love - even though there was no one special in my love life at that time.  I knew that time and circumstances had nothing to do with it.  My consciousness had risen to an entirely new dimension.  

Several weeks later, while I was conducting a workshop on unconditional love, one of the participants raised her hand to answer a question.  I didn’t know her, but I immediately felt a tremendous connection.  Her name was  Shannon.

We soon met – the beginning of a bond of unity that expanded to the perfect love we now enjoy as husband and wife, best friends, and soulmates.  I learned a huge lesson:  the consciousness of perfect love precedes the experience.

Shannon’s story:

After my ex-husband left me, after eighteen years of marriage, my self-esteem was at an all-time low.  I was devastated, even though it had never been a happy marriage. The pain was almost unbearable.  My needs were overwhelming.

I began working to heal myself, (I am a spiritual healer), working each afternoon in my office.  I’ll never forget the first afternoon I did this.  When, for the millionth time, I felt prompted to feel devastated, I went into a mode of bold and powerful affirmations based on my deeply held understanding that I am spiritual.

My affirmations specifically challenged and replaced unspiritual thoughts I was thinking about myself.  Whatever I needed at the most fundamental emotional level, I turned into a powerful affirmation.  All my affirmations came forth from my highest sense of spiritual truth.  For example, I boldly declared to my consciousness such truths as:

• Love is seeking me out and claiming me as its own, saying, “You are mine!  You belong to me!”
  

• The entire area of my consciousness that appears to be so dark is actually filled with great light.  I am in this light.  I live in the splendor of this glorious moment!
  

• Because I am spiritual, I am singled out by infinite Love and labeled worthy of praise and adoration.  I feel and see Love rejoicing over me, celebrating me. 
  

• Because I am spiritual, Love has a wonderful plan for me that names me in the plan as absolutely essential.  Love makes sure I am aware of this.
  

• I am guided, comforted, and protected by Love.  I feel secure with all life’s changes because Love is the governing, intelligent power of my life.

Sometimes, as I stated these and many other affirmations, I would giggle and laugh out loud.  These affirmations were so far from my experience that it seemed ridiculous to state them as true.

However, I was accustomed to going to the divine Source and making bold statements of Truth – and later seeing their power to rule the situation.  I trusted my spiritual reasoning implicitly.

Within a short while, love began to fill my life.  I met Scott and a magnificent friendship began. As our relationship flowed into love, I experienced the results of my powerful spiritual affirmations.

This is the love you deserve too – and it begins with claiming, in your own consciousness, that it is your spiritual right to be perfectly loved.  Remember, you are not likely to experience love at a higher level than you can conceive.  Welcome to the heart of Love!
