ALL OF IT(conclusion)

2008-12-02T01:58:53Z

M: I still don’t think it's possible for anyone to eagerly embrace suffering.

J: In what ways do you suffer?

M: Well, I’m not really suffering at the moment. I feel a little tired and I have a slight headache. I am a bit discouraged about my money situation and a little worried about the future, with this “economic meltdown” we seem to be going through.

J: You will remedy your headache with medicine and your tiredness with sleep and these discomforts you have normalized. The body only follows the mind’s lead and it is the mind that gives the body its direction, although you often reverse this.

However, you will seek to escape your discouragement and anxiety. Yet, they will return, causing you to seek other means and so on. It is fear that defines your need to escape.

I ask that you NOT fear your mind.

I ask that you not fear you moods or emotions. Nor need you fear your secret thoughts, your anger or rage, your accusations and complaints, your fantasies and dreams, your failures and successes. Do not fear your judgments and your hatreds nor even the regret and remorse that always follow. Let your memories be fearless so that you can seek to remember ALL OF IT.

Do not seek to predict your actions in order to hide from your judgments. Although you prepare for your world in many ways, recognize there is no need to prepare because preparation denotes fear and fear has always demanded you escape it.

If your mind gives you visions of horror, do not hide from what you see and if you wish to see more, do not deny this desire. When you become enraged by your world, do not seek to escape the “self” that rages. When you desire more of what you do not need, do not attempt to abridge or impede the extent of your desires.

You must be guiltless in order to see clearly, what CANNOT BE. When you SEE it, you will be willing to part with it and joyfully we will exchange gifts.

M: So you want me to live my life in fear.

J: Your life IS lived in fear, yet you seek to escape that fact. I ask that you no longer deny by seeing it clearly. This you have yet to do, but it is certain you will.

You will only see clearly when you no longer run from your mind , but seek to fully know ALL OF IT. Do not fear what you made REAL because what you made real was made to be feared and we must change that purpose. A new purpose will appear, but only when you SEE DIFFERENTLY what you made and that is contingent on that you see ALL OF IT.

M: What about love? Should I give that to you as well?

J: That is the product of our exchange, but only when you are ready to exchange. When you keep FEAR for yourself, I cannot receive, nor can I take it from you, simply because it does NOT exist. Yet, you believe you HAVE it and this is why you do NOT have love. You must exchange fear for love because you cannot have both as one has conditions, the other none at all.

Feel free to suffer with this as long as you so choose.

ALL OF IT (part 2)

2008-11-18T18:28:29Z

M: I’m still stuck on this idea of “eagerly embracing” my suffering. So when I’m feeling some negative mood or I’m angry or bored, I should eagerly embrace these moods?

J: By embracing your suffering, you are no longer hiding from your own mind. Eagerness demonstrates to yourself a desire to exchange what you now know and suffer with, for what I know, which brings only infinite peace.

M: So if I’m angry I should just stay angry?

J: You should neither stay nor leave, but expect me to take what you offer in the recognition that it is yours to give.

In NOT attempting to escape or run from your mind, you are demonstrating your faith in my interceding for you. But this requires that you end your belief that of yourself you can somehow end your suffering. As the past demonstrates, you have never ended suffering, only permit its changing form. Suffering is always the same experience, yet you project it onto an array of “external” circumstances, thereby believing that each experience is somehow different, each requiring a different means of escape.

It is all the same. “There is nothing new under the sun” and that includes your suffering.

M: So I should be happy that I’m suffering?

J: It is good that you take note of the contradiction. However, this is exactly what I ask. Be “happy,” but only in the realization that there is no need to fear your mind and thus you need not run from it or escape it by any means. This is because YOU have allowed no means of escape.

M: There are psychological therapies that advocate not resisting negative emotional states. They advocate sitting with it so that it might dissolve. Is this the same thing?

J: In your world what appears to “dissolve,” only returns in countless forms and this repetition is what the world offers.

What you offer to me cannot return because that is the purpose of our exchange. It is a gift of faith that I return a million times more. Such an exchange is infinite. Yet, any exchange is impossible if you have nothing to offer, while I have EVERYTHING.

You have many methods of escape, yet none can impede your return to bondage. What eventually dissolves is your reliance on the methods that simply cause you to further seek other methods. Your only chance is to give up the search and embrace what YOU made real in the knowledge that YOU made ALL OF IT.

M: But if I made it, why can’t I unmake it?

J: We have discussed this previously, but you resist considering just how much your suffering defines “you.” You are still NOT prepared to closely examine this fact of “existence” and your only goal has been to escape this fact.

In seeking to escape, you will never SEE that it does NOT define you and you have always been FREE.

Of yourself, you cannot “unmake” that which you believe you ARE, because YOU would cease to exist as YOU have defined yourself, and this is your greatest fear. The task of “unmaking” is monumental and beyond what your fearful mind can consider in its weakened state. But such consideration will occur when you are ready. Yet, this is beyond the scope of my teaching, but NOT beyond God’s.

M: So what if I were to lose my job and become unable to pay my mortgage and lose my house. I should be happy with that? What you teach is a denial of reality.

J: Precisely.

M: So why don’t I deny reality a little more and rob a bank!

J: “Thou shalt not steal” is accurate, since there is nothing you NEED. This is why God would not command such a thing and it is absurd to even consider that God could. However, to one who has NEEDS, laws are necessary.

Everything you determine must be done in order to escape suffering, leaves suffering firmly imbedded in your mind. In your seeking ways to deny reality outside your mind, you deny inside and inside is where IT IS.

M: I think I’m suffering with this idea. It just doesn’t make sense

J: You suffer through much that I teach. However, although you discount and negate what I teach, we continue to talk. There is a part of you that feels that this is required.

You cannot suffer from the Truth. Yet, you can resist and suffer based on that decision only, but the decision is yours. Your suffering will save you when you decide it will. When you no longer fear the contents of your mind, what you will then experience is beyond what I can describe. Although I could describe it, you would only seek to escape the message.

ALL OF IT (part 1)

2008-11-13T15:07:43Z

M: I keep hearing “all of it.” I don’t understand what you mean by “all of it.”

J: YOU cannot escape your suffering. Yet, you deny this fact by seeking to free yourself, believing that YOU can. I ask that you NOW eagerly embrace it and, make no mistake, only through that embrace will you be willing to give it to me because you will finally see it clearly. I will free you from your suffering, but only if you give ALL OF IT to me.

M: Hey, no problem, you can have it! I gladly give it to you.

J: To give ALL of your suffering to me, is a very frightening idea that you have yet to "gladly" consider. This is because suffering is HOW you define your “self.” If suffering were to cease, so would the “self” you have become accustomed to perpetuate as REAL.

In so many ways have you suffered. The pains of the body and the complaints of the mind. The hopelessness, boredom, anger, worry and depression. In so many ways, large and small, do you lament your existence. But always with the goal of seeking a way out; a way to erase all suffering. There is NO escape from what you made until you realize you made ALL OF IT. Until then, you will continue to make compromises in order to flee what you make REAL

It is NOT the pains and complaints that remind you of your suffering. It is your need NOT to experience what you make real that makes suffering your most powerful experience.

M: Oh that’s great! So your saying I should love my suffering!?

J: I ask that you no longer seek to escape your suffering. Not to suffer less, your methods seem to aid you in that goal, but only so that you are finally able to give it to me and suffer NOT AT ALL.

M: That makes no sense. In fact, why don’t I go out and look for more ways to suffer and really make the best of it.

J: You could and many do. The problem, however, is that they believe suffering is of God and not of their own making. Therefore, they embrace it for themselves and do NOT allow me to intercede. They are not willing to surrender that which defines them and, in fact, many believe their suffering makes them more worthy of God. God is NOT aware of your suffering simply because it is REAL only for YOU. Give it to me, and be aware of God.

M: So how do I give it to you?

J: Simply stop running from what you made and “gladly,” I will take it.

M: What do you mean, “stop running”?

J: There is no path in this world that will lead you away from your suffering. This is because you made both the path and the world, but only so that you could DENY you made suffering. It does NOT matter what you DO to seek solace from suffering. Everything you DO to avoid suffering, denies you made it and so it must persist.

M: I don’t know that I could ever love suffering.

J: I do not ask that you “love suffering,” since you have no idea what love IS. You must only acknowledge that you made it, so that you will be willing to give it away in the recognition that it is no longer needed.

Every path in your world, every action and every thought exists only to move you farther from suffering, thereby denying that you made ALL OF IT. Thus, you affirm that which you seek to negate.

You will only give it to me when you realize you can. You will only realize you can, when you no longer wish to escape it.

M: But others have taught this idea of “acceptance” and it doesn’t seem to have made much difference to the suffering in the world. It certainly hasn’t made much difference to my own individual suffering either.

J: The world’s “acceptance” is a resignation because you are resigned to accept what you believe you cannot change, thereby denying that YOU are its maker. I ask neither for acceptance nor for denial, only that you SEE it. When you SEE ALL OF IT completely free of guilt or remorse of any kind, you will offer it to me.

Turn to your suffering and eagerly embrace it and I will insure that it trouble you no longer, because you will then be willing to give it ALL to me. Until such time you will continue to spend your “life” seeking a means of escape.

To be free of suffering you must give ALL OF IT to me. You will not give to me that which you are choosing to escape in the belief that escape is possible and that all you need do is find the correct method. Your methods have been tried and failed. My method is guaranteed by God and this means that failure is IMPOSSIBLE.

A Self in Exile

2008-08-23T17:10:06Z

The "self" you worship often seems to change unpredictably and although you desperately struggle to control it, the self frequently controls you. In preparing for the worst, you barricade yourself behind meaningless "values" that only reinforce the power of what seems beyond control. You made it what it is, so why protect yourself from what you believe it can do? Simply change what you believe and the "self" must adjust accordingly.

M: I was pissed off this morning because I have to ask my kids 50 times to pick up after themselves, my wife and I have not had a particularly good relationship the past few weeks and my finances are extremely poor. And right now I have a massive headache. Nothing really changes because once one “problem” is solved, other problems rise up to take its place. This is my world and it never seems to change. How can it be changed?

J: A “problem" is a concept of rejection, superimposed upon the circumstances you believe you SEE, thereby constructing the experience AFTER it is SEEN. I ask that you construct your experience BEFORE you SEE it.

There is only one "problem" and that is the utter loneliness of experiences no one shares due to the limitations of the body's means of expression. You require “eyes” to see, but learn nothing new from the information you compile and therefore, SEE only more of the same. Problems seem to dissolve only to reappear again in the guise of changed circumstances. You have allowed circumstances to teach you what you ARE based on what you experience. I simply ask that you base your circumstances on what you choose to experience and learn from only that. However, this interpretation is clearly radical to those who rely on circumstances to direct the mind.

M: Sounds like “new age” platitudes. I’ve read what the "masters" say and there is nothing you teach that has not been taught before. Sure it sounds good, but things don’t really change.

J: What specifically do you want “changed”?

M: How ‘bout the entire world?

J: You wait for the world, yet the world waits for you.

The world is NOT your "problem," how you SEE the world creates the circumstances that you believe must then be rejected or accepted. Otherwise, if you did not accept or reject, where would you look to find your "problems."

M: I don’t seem capable of such a profound change.

J: Actually, you feel cursed by change, but proclaim it is needed and so this is your experience; a world always in need of change. Has the world ever NOT conformed to that belief?

Yet, what you really desire is consistency. The "self" does not provide this and therefore, you do not accept the "self," always maintaining a safe distance from it. You desire to deeply engage with your world, but you do not trust your "self" and so, the world is lost to you and you to the world. As I teach, you wait for the world and the world waits for you and always both demand change and circumstances continue to demonstrate this fact.

M: But I thought all these “talks” were focused on letting my ‘self’ go, or detaching from the ‘self,’ so that I could access a higher self, free from limitations.

J: In NOT accepting the “self," you intensify its “problems” and this defines your limits. I do NOT ask you to "transcend" the self, such concepts only further confuse the mind that believes it is IN time and space. I merely ask that you see it differently and in that, you will no longer be troubled. Your ‘self” is a product of your mind and exists nowhere else IN time or space. But it was constructed for a purpose exclusive to IT.

There is NO "higher self'" there is only Higher Thinking that glorifies you as Created, but only in your mind. Paradoxically, through such a transformation of sight, is consistent VISION realized.

You are beginning to realize that the suffering born of separate, self-interests is no longer a valid purpose and does not lead to "happiness." You are ready to see differently and are beginning to experience what that brings. Nevertheless, you remain very cautious and fearful. When you realize you have nothing to lose, and can only gain, you will leap beyond caution to extinguish fear forever. Until such time, fear is your only obstacle.

M: And in “seeing it differently,” I will accept my "self"?

J: As you live entirely through your "thinking", you can only accept or reject and no other judgment is possible in a world where the need for God has been replaced by the need for judgment. Make no mistake, your "problems” are the result of such a vacillating, dueling perspective. When I ask that you see it differently, I am essentially asking that you no longer apply your values to what you SEE, but apply my values BEFORE you SEE it. This will make all the difference between joy and depression.

M: But how can I not accept or reject what I see? There has to be a value applied.

J: I see NO difference and thus, need NOT discriminate. When you see as I do, you will partake in the joy of consistent freedom. This can only be done through me because I do not base my understanding on the world's values but on what God Values. This cannot be taught, only because you would NOT accept, and thus reject, the teaching and, as these discussions illustrate, this has been your habit. As you state, the words have always been available, but words are useless to the mind that learns from experience. Experience the world through me.

In continuing to ask that God change your “circumstances," this type of prayer results in your displacing the power God gave you, onto an "idea" of God that your mind has constructed. An idea of God cannot improve your circumstances,nor can the idea of "you." But the Truth as God-given most certainly CAN and it is with you always when you choose to be aware.

Why would God alter what does NOT exist? Your problems are nothing and exist nowhere. This is because God does not create problems, but God did Create YOU.

Until you change what is inside, the outside must consistently trouble you because what is outside, by its very nature, is impervious to change due to your insistence of “location." As a result, you persevere in judging what you see as acceptable or warranting rejection, even though it is your rejection or acceptance that constructed it and thus, further maintains it as YOU expect. Judge it no longer and you will no longer find it where you once believed it was, because the whole edifice of perception must crumble. This is because it was constructed only to accept or reject. Essentially, when there is no longer a need to perceive differences, Truth must be SEEN.

Make no mistake, both ways of perceiving determine WHAT will be perceived and if you see it, rest assured the decision was made long before it was SEEN. To be free of “problems,” you must be free of the judgment that divides and separates. Problems symbolize the perception of "parts," and your judgment leaves it where you believe it must be - apart from YOU. Judgment accepts or rejects what is separate from you and therefore maintains its distance.

M: But, I judge myself as well and that is NOT separate from me because it’s me.

J: You have never truly felt welcome in the "me” you call home. Therefore, you have exiled your “self" to a place where growth ends in death and where “happiness” is sought, but never found. You are a “stranger in a strange world” and this feeling of dissociation attends your every moment. Even your dreams are of dissociation and distance.

You live in a world of strangers and with all your strength you have resisted finally asking “who is this beside me,” because when the question is asked with no doubt of an answer, the answer will be instantaneous and fill you with the joy of complete understanding. Until then, you do not even KNOW yourself. You have yet to ask this question with the expectation of an answer and until you do, you will continue to feel isolated and alone.

Every scrap of happiness your "self" seems to extract from this world is lost to the past and in your suffering, you have little choice but to return there - to “happier times." Yet, as "life" drains away, even the past loses its ability to define you. As long as you maintain a "self" that fears an end to "time," death will be your most profound defining moment and will supercede all goals.

There is no end to you, but if you judge it so, so must it be and this only attests to your infinite power. Judge NOT what is NOT and SEE only what IS, and experience the joy of homecoming.

M: You’re constantly trying to prove that my experience is not what I want, but then inform me that I create it.

J: You prove this to yourself, but only after you construct your “world" and feel apart from it. Yet, at that point you feel there is no turning back. I only help you to understand before the mind constructs what it believes it must experience based on what was experienced before.

The past holds you and not my message, but my message offers another way. You will find this way and that is certain. But in your uncertainty of your Truth by right of Creation, you will continue to vacillate between happiness and suffering through rejection and acceptance, and even your "religions" have failed to dissuade you from this path.

Accept No Substitutions

2008-05-11T20:44:42Z

The fearless mind can accept only peace and will not substitute delusions for Truth. Your "spectrum of fear" has many levels and degrees, but only one experience and that is absence. Whenever you are absent of deep and abiding peace, know that you have accepted fear and seek to change your mind by thinking with me.

M: I can’t seem to incorporate this into my life.

J: Nothing need be incorporated, just believed as True. Only delusions need be integrated, simply because obsessing on parts obstructs understanding the whole. If you do NOT believe this then it is understandable that you are deluded into making something a part of you, that you have never been without.

M: Then how come I don’t know it as me?

J: There is nothing to “know.”

M: Is this a riddle?

J: Paradox is your invention and it exists only in your mind. Dissolving paradox is your choice as well and all that you need do is make the choice to SEE it differently.

M: It seems clear that you know God. But I do not have such a personal relationship.

J: There is only one very simple criterion to such knowledge and without it, such knowledge is inaccessible. The only criterion is that you MUST want it.

M: That’s it? I just need to want it? I think I have demonstrated that I want this knowledge. What more am I expected to do?

J: This may seem rather elementary to you, but if you look closely you will understand that of all the things you do want, Truth is usually not desired. When you want this knowledge, you will have it and it will be as if it were never lost to you. However, since you seem to experience being without it, you must ask yourself if you are certain that you want it?

Demonstrations are unnecessary to Truth, however, you have found it very important to demonstrate your need for sacrifice. Notice how you struggle to rely on sacrifice even though I teach that it is unnecessary and was never needed, since I proved it is unnecessary.

Everyday you look outside your mind and speculate on what might provide you "happiness" and everyday you find what requires sacrifice and varying degrees of suffering. There is beauty and goodness to SEE, but never for long, since permanence is not a category of your thinking and therefore, it is not a factor of your "world." But, no matter what you believe you see, it is always an absence that you experience. Make no mistake you are absent of nothing, but you need seek WITHIN to learn that Truth.

Therefore, in answer to your question, what you are expected to do is simply remember your completion and believe it as fact. At present, this is believed as an expectation, since I teach that you could never be anything but complete. Your amnesia is a state of mind that does not affect the Truth in any way. The Truth is that you could NOT forget your Being even for one single solitary moment.

M: You seem to be constantly taking me in circles. I am absent of nothing but forgot that I am absent of nothing, although you state I have never forgotten.

J: You have asked of me what is expected of you. I answer that nothing is expected of you, but that which you expect from yourself. You have not forgotten simply because to forget is to be absent of memory and, as I state, you are absent of nothing. Therefore, as I teach now, and have taught throughout "time," what is of you by nature of your Being, can never be lost to you.

If you substitute your "expectations" for Truth, then you have convinced yourself that remembering Truth has no value and what has no value you easily forget. In the exact split second that you choose to remember, that memory will extend beyond time. But know this, to forget is your choice as well and from this choice alone, "time" emerged and became "real" for you.

M: So although I am not absent of the memory of Truth, I choose to absent myself from it. In other words, I do know what I seek, but am afraid to be aware of what I know, which you are saying, is what I seek. This doesn't make sense!

J: To "make sense" of the world demands the body teach you what it could never understand. I can teach you Truth, since, unlike you, I do NOT fear nonsense.

M: There is absolutely no way to be without fear.

J: BE with perfect peace.

M: You speak of it as if I could magically conjure it up from nothing and, abracadabra! The world is at peace. All I need do is think peaceful thoughts and the world will magically conform to my thinking. This is just so completely opposite of what I experience.

J: Nevertheless, this is exactly what I teach!

"World peace" IS your highest thinking and to demand it NOW, particularly while you think so little of yourself, has only served to further confuse you since you are so utterly fixated on "time" and have no understanding of NOW. However, rest assured there will come a "time" when you will think of yourself completely without fear and peace will fill your mind as an "experience" never before known.

You should still continue to look for world peace and the more you believe you will find it, the more it will be SEEN. Currently, however, you believe you must be fearful and thus, you have accepted fear rather then peace, and this is what you find. Therefore, since fear occupies your mind, it would be beneficial to understand why.

M: So why do I fear?

J: Because you do not think with ME.

I informed you previously that fear permeates your mind so deeply that you are never entirely without it. Because of this, you actually have come to rate the quality of your life by the varying degrees of fear you experience from moment to moment. There is never complete joy, but only fluctuating levels of fear. In fact, your "happiest" moments are when you are less fearful, rather than more "happy." It is important that you understand that your "pursuit of happiness" is nothing more then seeking to reduce fear.

Of course, this way of life is absurd and has never been effective in ending your suffering, yet you choose to live by such insane contrasts. To truly learn and experience what I teach, your mind must be fearless, otherwise, you will only distort the message through the self-protection that fear requires.

Recall how even today you struggled hopelessly with your abstract fears. Although you frequently fail to adequately identify the sources of your fear, you do define the struggle as one of LESS “happiness,” rather than MORE fear and you ask, "why am I NOT happy" rather than "why do I fear."

Be certain that with any minimized experience of "happiness," there is always a maximized acceptance of fear in your mind. Do not seek out what can make you happy, but what it is that demands you fear. When you learn what that is, extinguish it through my guidance and allow peace be restored WITHIN.

You must learn to more accurately define yourself by what you have ACCEPTED rather then by what you DENY. When you deny Joy, then clearly you have accepted fear instead. You may feel this distinction is superficial, but I assure you it will result in greater clarity and understanding. This is because fear clouds your mind and makes Truth increasingly more inaccessible. Essentially, it is the end of fear that will bring you "happiness," rather then your current futile attempts to "pursue" it.

Do NOT negate peace through an acceptance of fear on any level. Your mind must accept either peace or fear. If you accept fear, you will experience that acceptance by degrees and often you will be unclear as to what degree and to what purpose you have hinged your acceptance. Fear is always abstract and based on uncertainty. Peace is concrete and based on the certainty of what is REAL.

I can inform you of what is REAL, since your life is testament to your consistent uncertainty as to what is REAL. From this uncertainty and incompletion, "reality" unfolded within you and, in fear, you made parts of your mind external to your own thinking and you call that your "world."

M: All this seems to make sense, but I need more concrete approaches to reduce fear and experience greater peace.

J: Know without doubt that any moment you are NOT experiencing joy it is because conflict has been erroneously accepted as a substitute to peace. Conflict is indicative that you have decided what you NEED in order to experience “happiness.”

Know also that in determining that you KNOW what you need you have denied the peace I provide. In these moments you have allowed your “self” to be your counsel and advise you in the choices you believe must be made. If you rely on that which does NOT know who or what you are, you will NOT learn what you need. I know who and what you are and therefore, I will teach you what you need.

M: I’m not experiencing joy in this very moment right now. But then, I’m not necessarily experiencing happiness, joy or peace either.

J: This evaluation is incorrect and that can only mean that you are learning from a poor teacher. If you do not experience peace then it is fear that you choose to learn. Even the slightest anxiety, the mildest annoyance or agitation, can withhold from you an entire universe of Truth and an experience of indescribable joy.

M: So what would you advise I think in this very moment?

J: That there is nothing you need in this or any other moment. However, you have yet to fully accept this advice and thus you remain deeply obsessed with substituting "happiness" for peace. This only results in unnecessary suffering in your stubborn refusal to understand that YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF.

In any moment that you do not experience peace, recognize that you are choosing fear. Fear is always experienced as a mood that is based on your projection of past learning into an expected future. You believe that if you could only correct the "sins" of the past, you would experience a future more to your liking. I teach that there are no sins of the past simply because you are forgiven and this is inherent in your Being.

NOW is the only Truth and when you accept fear, you replace peace with conflict and NOW is lost to you. From this point forward, allow no substitutions and accept ONLY peace.

Ask and You Must Receive

2008-01-20T20:38:00Z

M: You are saying that since reality is NOT outside my mind, but contained “within” my mind, that essentially I think it into existence. Therefore, everything I experience I ask for and receive as I have asked. So, why am I unconscious to what I ask for?
Yesterday, I bounced a check and this resulted in considerable resentment. Why a bounced check? Why not stub my toe or have a disagreement with a coworker? What I don’t understand is why I give myself certain specific experiences?

J: You must ask yourself what is it that you WANT and in that answer you will learn why you RECEIVE. What you believe must be found is what you look for and what you find.

You believe you are looking for specific "blessings" from your world, yet you refuse to bless. Your world requires your blessings and only in that will you RECEIVE. Why would you keep yourself apart from your joy and abundance?

M: So how do I give joy and abundance to myself?

J: By acknowledging that you HAVE it. In the HAVING there is no further need to WANT. Nevertheless, your problem is that you remain ignorant to what you HAVE and focus entirely on what you WANT. Clearly, I teach that when you realize that you HAVE everything, you will WANT for nothing.

However, to realize what you HAVE, you must GIVE it. Only through GIVING can you realize what you HAVE and through that, WANTING will cease to be a choice. There is no "choice" in Being since God extended you that. You accepted "choice" by denying extension. In accepting extension there will be no further need to "choose."

Does what you continue to WANT keep it away, since in WANTING you assert that you LACK? Do your prayers ask for less then what is rightfully yours?

M: So I should say “yippie yahoo” to bounced checks and give myself more bounced checks!? Why am I unconscious to this process?

J: In resenting “bounced checks” you must examine what you really resent . Do you actually resent not HAVING, or do you resent that your need to HAVE is solely determined by your misinterpretation of what you WANT? Everything the "self" WANTS, will keep you from what you HAVE. Recall that every time what a WANT is attained, WANTING does not cease. This insures that you will seek , but never find .

What you are unconscious of is the part of your mind that you rarely access, since it contradicts every belief you have ever held. That part simply knows that there is nothing you NEED because you HAVE everything. That part of your mind has forever longed to GIVE. That part "moves mountains" and only through GIVING will you finally acknowledge that this POWER is yours to GIVE to the world and therefore, yourself.

HAVING and GIVING are natural as principles of your BEING. Yet, they are rejected by the world’s logic simply because the world' logic is defined by lack. Lack limits you by demanding that you WANT simply through asserting that you do not HAVE.

The fundamental problem is that your power of concentration is limited and you fail to adequately attend to your own unconscious habitual motivations even though it is through these "motives" that you define who and what you ARE. Your body did not define you nor did the world. God defined your Being, yet you somehow believe YOU are the “arbiter of your fate.”

However, you now wish to renounce this role and so I ask that you renounce by substituting my message. Replace your confusion with my certainty and learn there is no “fate” to eternity.

You have defined your “self” as insignificant and limited seeking completion. You manifest a world to support this definition and what you ask for you must receive. Why would you ask for this? You do this to yourself and yet, you wish to remain anonymous. This is why you now require I teach you how and what to think and if you allow, I will intercede with every decision you make no matter how insignificant or profound.

M: So how should I look at the fact that I have to work more hours and take on a second job?

J: See it as an opportunity to GIVE, since there is nothing you could WANT, simply because there is nothing you do not HAVE. What other reason could there be?

M: Give? I’m doing it to get! The increase in work is to increase income.

J: Notice that this is an interpretation from a “self” that is defined by unconscious motivations and, thus, ignorance. Therefore, if you continue to rely on this "authority" to make decisions, you will remain unconscious to why you have specific experiences.

You have asked why you receive the specific experiences you have given yourself. I teach that there is a part of your mind that does not require HAVING, but only GIVING. This part retains the knowledge that in GIVING you acknowledge that you HAVE.

This makes sense in the realization that ,essentially, all EXTENSION is extended to yourself.

You may wish to conclude that your needing to work more hours is for you to make more money. However, I teach that part of YOUR mind has greater things in store for you and it is that part that will ask for and receive greatness . This was the part of my mind through which I learned that I LACK nothing and thus, all was RECEIVED, but only through GIVING can it be known. The Bible clearly emphasizes this teaching, although you continue to misinterpret.

Until that part of YOUR mind becomes available, you will continue to WANT what the “self” demands and, make no mistake, your “self” is defined by what it lacks and must have, for to WANT nothing, because you HAVE everything, is the likeness of God." Undoubtedly, if you rely on WANTING, you must experience lack as opposed to abundance, and fear in opposition to Joy.

In time, you will hear more from that part of your mind that KNOWS that you lack nothing. When you do, you will be conscious of your misinterpretations and therefore, you will correct your mistakes. Atonement is defined by this correction.

If you allow me to intercede you will discover why everything you receive you have asked for and through me you will only ask what you can GIVE. As a result, you will HAVE more then your mind can now even begin to comprehend.

Continued reliance on the needs of “self” will continue to demonstrate how unreliable such dependency has always been. I recommend you seek a more reliable source.

An Episode at the Grocery Store

2008-01-10T18:36:00Z

This was a “talk” that occurred yesterday in the supermarket while I stood waiting in the checkout line. I'm replaying it here from memory.

J: Do you see that man there? The one in directly in front of you behind the woman at the register?

M: Yeah, so what?

J: He is your salvation.

M: What?! That guy right there will save me?

J: That’s correct. However, the choice for allowing him to save you must inevitably remain with you.

M: Sorry, I don’t get it. I’m not going to have any interaction with this guy. We’re both waiting to checkout. I have no desire to interact in any way, let alone for him to save me or even for me to allow him to.

J: Clearly then, you have made your choice.

M: Well, wait a minute, how can he save me?

J: The moment you cease to judge him, you are saved.

M: Well that should be easy. I haven’t judged him at all.

J: Notice how little vigilance you provide your own thoughts. You believe so strongly in your actions, but God requires no action. There is nothing you must DO to know peace, love and joy. I have always taught that to know God you must SEE God.

You do not recall that when you looked at him you judged him in envy as he stood ahead of you in this line? You then judged him as disheveled based on his clothing and overweight based on his body shape. You further judged and classified him based on various other interpretations all in less than a few brief moments. In less then a few seconds you locked him into an interpretation that defined what he would be for you. How you judge others must be how you judge yourself.

I teach that you are God, therefore, your judgments oppose my teaching.

In addition, through these interpretations you determined the degree of closeness you would allow and if, in fact, interaction were to take place at all. I will remind you that you immediately determined that "indifference" would benefit you. This is a determination you often make.

However, not only have you made judgments of him, but you have instantly judged every "body" that you have observed. Clearly to your mind there was only one person that you provided specific attention to and this was based on “ego” preferences. You chose her as applicable only in aiding in the affirmation of your delusional “self"

Self-protection is a top priority and, through sensory perception, you judge who is a threat and what level of threat each "body" represents. In your need to assert your delusion of "self" you also identify those who have the potential to aid you in affirming that misinterpretation.

M: Wow, I was thinking all that? So how do I change my interpretations?

J: Simply allow me to interpret for you. I do not see bodies that attack or that are guilty of the potential to attack. Ask of me and I will judge for you. My vision does not SEE "orders of reality" or "levels of delusion" as my vision sees only wholeness and I give you thoughts that can assist you in seeing the same. You do desire wholeness.

M: Ok, so how should I interpret this man in front of me?

J: You may wish to consider that he loves his children and that he struggles hard to support his family. You may wish to consider that he enjoys laughter and likes others to laugh with him. You may consider that he struggles with life problems, but believes that he does the best that he can based on what he knows right now. You also may wish to consider that he suffers and feels pain and dreams of a better future for himself and his family.

M: Wait a minute! I know where you’re going with this. Those are all things that pertain to me. You’re describing me. Obviously, you’re saying that he is me?

J: Your thoughts reveal that the truth of this is not so obvious to you. However, you may wish to consider these thoughts and if you allow me to judge for you, I guarantee you will. This is because through my vision you will see only truth.

[just then this guy turns around seemingly to look at someone coming in the door, but, instead we look directly at each other for a brief second and we both simultaneously smile. Then he turns around and moves up to the clerk and the clerk checks out his items]

M: Damn! What’s up with that?

J: As you recognize less of a need to protect yourself from others you will naturally allow me to aid you in joining with others. This joining can only facilitate the recognition that all is YOU and nothing is outside you.

Frequently, as now, it will be only in the form of a smile. Other times it may be more profound. Eventually you will understand that salvation is not a solitary activity and requires that you share your thoughts. You will one day seek me in the faces of everyone you encounter and, again, I will smile back at you, for there is not one soul in this reality that does not share in God’s Being. You may try to believe in this for now, but when you KNOW it, then salvation is certain.

Judge any part of the whole and the whole must elude you and you will remain fragmented. As long as your thought separates and divides, so will the world witness to that fragmentation of your mind.
