"There is nothing holier in this life of ours

than the first consciousness of love—

the first fluttering if its silken wings."

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dear Readers...

A very warm welcome to all of you who have recently joined us. The number of people who now subscribe to this newsletter absolutely astounds me, although I will have to say that my greatest joy is knowing that it is received by an equal number of men and women from all over the world!

I want to thank all of you for helping me to launch The Lotus Project Web site last month. The "One Song" video is currently making its way around the world—and it is largely due to your efforts that it has traveled such a great distance so quickly. If you haven't had a chance to do so yet, please visit, www.The-Lotus-Project.com and remember to sign the guest book!

We are currently in the process of rebuilding the Quantum-Grace Web site using a new software program that will allow me to add a tremendous amount of new content easily and effortlessly... well, almost effortlessly! I'll also be updating the resources section and adding some audio content that I hope you all will enjoy. I will keep you posted on our progress, and I'll let you know as each section is completed.

The Quantum-Grace eBook is coming soon! Unfortunately, in November I experienced my very first computer crash, and it was definitely an "Oh, my God!" moment for me! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, disappeared right before my eyes! Fortunately, within a few days, we were able to retrieve 75% of the data; what was lost, however, was the Quantum-Grace eBook and ALL of the photo files. So... I have gone through all of the submissions again and I am now in the process of re-creating the eBook. It should be ready in a week or two, and I will send out a special email just as soon as it is!

That is all the news for now... May you love and be loved on this very special day, and may that love carry you, gently, through eternity...

Happy Valentine's Day! ...Heather O'Hara

The day after Jack Benny (American actor/comedian) died, a single red rose was delivered to Mary, his wife. Each day after that, another blossom arrived. When Mary investigated the mystery, she learned that her husband had included a provision in his will to have ONE perfect red rose sent to her—each day, for the rest of her life.

When you are truly in love, every day is Valentine's Day!

by Heather K. O'Hara

Extraordinary Love is the stream of starlight that flows through each of us; and when the starlight of one touches the starlight of another... a perfect union is born.

Some call it "connection." Some call it "magic." Others refer to it as "the mystical reunion of soul mates" . . . and yet, whatever we choose to call it, those of us who have experienced it know that it is powerful and beautiful and eternal . . .

We also know that it is not a coincidence; it is a masterful plan--and what we do with the "plan" is a choice.

Many people feel a special connection with each other; many people experience what feels like a touch of magic when they first meet; many people are convinced that they are soul mates, and yet, it is our everyday choices that determine whether that connection, that magic, that soul reunion will thrive or perish.

Hundreds of thousands of people who, at one time, felt an incredibly strong connection to one another, no longer feel it. The magic that once graced their relationships seems to have mysteriously slipped away--and millions of soul mates file for divorce every year.

If, then, it is not the connection, and it is not the magic, and it is not the recognition of, and the reunion with, a beloved soul mate...what is it? What is it that makes extraordinary love extraordinary forever?

Like all truth, it is incredibly simple.

And the truth is...

It is the starlight.

And even truer, it is the "seeing" of the starlight.

And even truer than that, it is the "focusing on" the seeing of the starlight.

And even truer than that, it is the acknowledgment of the starlight that you are seeing and have wisely chosen to focus upon.

The perfect union that always starts out as extraordinary, only stays extraordinary when we choose to focus on the starlight--or, the perfection of one another. In other words, when I focus on what is perfect in you and you focus on what is perfect in me... no other love is possible except the kind that is extraordinary; and this is the love that lasts forever.

So many of us get caught up in all of the little things that have nothing whatsoever to do with starlight. More often than not, we focus on what is seemingly not perfect instead of what is. And what we focus on expands and expands and expands . . .

And, eventually, a pair of socks left on the floor, a business meeting that runs late, or a phone call that was inadvertently forgotten becomes so BIG that you have to call the marriage counselor. And because the marriage counselor doesn't really understand the power of starlight, you have to call your attorney. And because your attorney makes his living off of the people who do not focus on starlight, you then have to call the judge. And because the judge doesn't have a clue about starlight, he divides up all the socks, and all the money that was made (because you didn't leave the meeting early), and all the phone bills from the phone calls that someone lovingly did remember to make... And then you say, "Next time, I'm not going to make the same mistake. I'm going to find the perfect love for me," when all along you had perfect love; but you were focused on socks instead of starlight; and so you didn't see it.

You had a choice. Socks or starlight. And you chose socks. And, most likely, because the Universe always gives us what we ask for, you will feel that incredible connection with someone else again. You will feel the magic. You will believe that you have found perfect love... and, once again, you will get to choose what you want to focus on. And, of course, again your choices will be... socks or starlight.

So... when your "new perfect love" is late because of an important business meeting, or when your "old perfect love" forgets to call, or when your "soul mate" leaves his socks on the floor... take a long, deep breath and remember the starlight. Remember the perfection of the man whose socks are lying on the floor, and focus on that perfection instead. Focus on what is right about him. Focus on all the wonderful things he does for you; and those wonderful things will expand and expand and expand . . .

Never forget that perfect union is a divine plan, but that perfect love is a choice--one that only you can make. And as you are handing him one perfect rose, or as you are handing her one perfect rose; as you are sipping champagne together tonight... look deeply into your lover's eyes and, I promise you, if you look for it... you will see starlight. You will see absolute perfection; and you will feel the brilliance and the power and the beauty of the extraordinary love that is looking back at you . . .

who are you?

Who are you, my beloved?

Who are you

that one forbidden word enters

and explodes, like a wild electric dawn,

in the center of my mind?

Who are you

that your touch lures me

beyond the shadowed rim

and then gently, so gently,

pulls me back

into a timeless kiss

that leaves a trail of delicious heat

across my skin?

Who are you, my beloved?

Who are you

whose soul stretches,

like a slender stream of liquid fire,

into mine?

Who are you

that breathes my breath;

that pours me out and drinks me in,

insisting that I die in your arms

as you take me to the furthest edge

and back again?

Who are you, my beloved?

Who are you

that I have become

so alive?

— Heather K. O'Hara

* The "forbidden word" (in case you're wondering) is the word desire... why so many people believe that desire is wrong, I cannot tell you—but I can tell you that without it there would be no universe, no life, no love, no expansion or evolution; for desire is that from which ALL emerges.

If you've read my eBook, Living On Level 7, you already know the importance of desire—if not; if you're still struggling with your own desires, with the things you are wanting but not allowing yourself to have—please consider making a conscious investment in Living On Level 7 today, http://www.LivingOnLevel7.com.

Time is

Too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love,

Time is Eternity.

Hours fly, flowers die, new days,

new ways pass by.

Love stays.

— Sundial Inscription

"Two halves have little choice but to join and become one whole;

but when two wholes meet, when they collide...

that is beauty, that is love."
