Guilt

2020-06-17T17:22:00.001-05:00

Guilt establishes a need for and confirms the false belief in time. Guilt cannot be established without a past or a future.

You feel guilty over something you have done in the past or something you anticipate doing in the future, even if it is in the next moment. Without guilt there exists only the present moment, the Now.

Extensions of Love

2020-06-16T15:01:00.001-05:00

Before I get to the post, have you checked out my new book on fear (at the bottom)? I would be very appreciative if you would buy and review the book 🙏

God created you out of Love, just as you create your creations out of Love. Creation unfolds through you, because without you and your creations, there would be no extension of God's Love.

Sinned Against God

2020-06-15T14:59:00.004-05:00

If you will witness your thoughts, you will see, even if you are a very loving or spiritually advanced person, that sometimes you have a thought related to God being a punishing God.

This belief may or may not appear in this form. It may be thoughts related to you are not good enough or severe judgments of others, which are judgments you have about yourself and project out.

When we believe that we have sinned against God, and this is the central underlying belief carried in this consciousness, we believe that He will punish us. Inherent to this is the belief that we have separated from Him. When you feel self judgment, this arises because you believe you are separate, even though separation is impossible. We are One with Him always, eternally, since the moment of our Creation.

Expectations

2020-06-14T10:29:00.001-05:00

Expectations arise from fear and are a way of trying to control the future. They come from not trusting and surrendering yourself to God. They take us out of the present moment, because expectations are always in the future.

A Natural Flow

2020-06-06T14:21:00.001-05:00

There is a beautiful ebb and flow to life. As God expresses through Creation, there is a push "forward", a rest, a pull "backwards", and another rest before the push forward begins again. Nothing moves in a straight line forward --- thus there really is no "forward" and "backward"., And the rest periods, the pauses, are as important as the movement.

This is the Stillness that underlies All. This holy movement or flow is reproduced in so many things. Think of the in breath, followed by a very brief stop, then the out breath. Think of the tide. The tide moves forward, briefly pauses, and then moves backward before pausing and moving forward again. But the tide, although appearing to retreat, is actually moving farther inland with every new wave.

Similarly, Creation is constantly evolving, expanding, moving forward, but with this in and out flow. This movement is your natural rhythm, how your life force wants to be in this world. Anything you do, like a business or some type of project or creation, even how you exercise or eat, needs to have this flow in order to be successful. What appears like retreats is simply the building of energy for the next wave to push farther forward, for Creation to unfold in greater holiness. And the rest periods, the pauses, are times when you can consolidate the energy and be grateful for what has been accomplished.

Gratitude is critical for anything you want to be successful. And patience. When you are certain of the outcome, when you know that God has your highest good and you are doing His Will, then you can afford to be patient because you know that the outcome is certain.

Which Are You?

2020-06-05T16:56:00.001-05:00

Are you a random participant in a dream, subject to the whims of the dreamer? Or are you the dreamer of the dream?

If you are the former, you see yourself as a victim of circumstances and at the whim of what others and the Universe choose. If you are the latter, you recognize your divinity and have the power of heaven behind you.

Strength

2020-06-04T21:35:00.000-05:00

Strength is the willingness to go through whatever trials or tribulations are presented to you. It is the willingness to work through unhealthy emotional patterns and beliefs and release them. It is having faith that God would not give you more than you can handle at that time.

Having strength does not mean that you don't like what you are going through or that you don't temporarily fall into self pity, but it does mean that you have set your intention and Will to stay present in it and see it through to the end.

Are You Flexible?

2020-06-03T11:39:00.001-05:00

The more hardened someone is in their belief system, the less they will see the magic, wonder, innocence, and reality of God's Kingdom and the more they will judge others for their beliefs. We are in powerful, life-changing times, and we are being called to not be attached to anything of the world, especially our beliefs and how we think things need to go. If we won't let our beliefs evolve, we will be in fear.

Offending God

2020-06-02T17:37:00.002-05:00

You cannot offend God in any way. You must completely divorce yourself from this belief system, which is of the ego and false.

The first time you step outside this perspective, you will see a world sparkling with gentleness, and you will know with certainty how much He loves you.

A Parent’s Job

2020-05-29T12:59:00.001-05:00

A parent's job is first and foremost not to instill their fears in their children.

Second, it is to lay out and describe the forest, not to pick the path through the forest. The child has to pick their path --- this is how they gain confidence and become an authentic human being who can know God because they have chosen their own path. They have discovered the dead ends and discovered the unique way that He has laid out for them. They are not living someone else's or society's expectations. They are living their own.

Convincing Others

2020-05-28T13:36:00.001-05:00

The more we need to convince others of your views, the greater we live in fear.

This holds true across all spectrums, including the need to make converts in religion. When we are comfortable in our beliefs, we are comfortable in them. We don't have to convince anyone else. We speak about your beliefs if we feel led to, but then we let it go and aren’t attached to the results. Being attached to the results means we are looking outside of ourselves for our identity.

Saying that God wants us to make converts is taking responsibility off ourselves and trying to project our fear onto God. God knows nothing of fear, as He is Love. And He certainly doesn't take sides. He is expressing through each and every one of us, and we are all part of Him, One with Him. Why would He take sides against Himself?

Recognize Unity

2020-05-27T20:07:00.000-05:00

The world you see is a by product of our projection, individually and collectively, of guilt and self judgment. Can we see that as long as we think an individual, a group, or a nation is "right" or "wrong," we are still living in this false world, not His Kingdom?

As part of the one Sonship of God, we are not guilty, but if we continue to see the world from this perspective, we believe that we are guilty. When we drop this, we rise above the current perspective to see the Unity that exists.

In Unity, there are no differences, no distinctions, no absolutes of "right" or "wrong," and judgment is impossible. "Right" or "wrong" becomes individualized to each of us in each moment, each decision, as we make decisions which affirm our divinity and Oneness. So a rapist or murderer is not making choices which affirms their divinity, but their action does not make them any less divine than you or Jesus. They are just far away from recognizing their divinity or they would not make the choices they do.

When we recognize our divinity, we recognize our Oneness, and we make choices which affirm that and do no harm to anyone, because everyone is a part of us.

No Past, No Future

2020-05-26T15:37:00.000-05:00

What if you did not have a past? What if you did not have expectations about the future? Who would you be? How would you feel?

Each of us has a different "past." It defines us, but it also limits us, as we see the world through the experiences we have had. So you may say that you cannot get away from your past. But your past is "gone" --- you have already gotten away from it. The only thing that remains from your past are the beliefs that were created from the experiences.

The "future" has not happened yet, but you have expectations --- beliefs --- about what it will be like. Whether it is related to your past, or your future, you can drop those beliefs. There does not have to be anything that limits you. Just as He is unlimited, you are unlimited, for you are a part of Him. When you drop what limits you, you come to KNOW Him.

Divine Timing

2020-05-25T17:38:00.000-05:00

Divine timing is always slow and steady.

It may come quickly via the world's standards, but it never comes in a rushed manner. Everything is on its own pace, and it falls in place exactly as it should be.

Remember, a piece of a puzzle can't go into place before the other pieces of the puzzle around it are in. Feeling a need to be rushed is from the ego mind and relates to the future. Since only the present moment exists, there is no need to be rushed.

Father, help "me" get out of the way so that I can become a clear vessel through which you move and have your Being.

Authentic People

2020-05-23T18:27:00.001-05:00

Authentic people express their emotions freely. They are able to say how they feel without fear of reprisal or shame, and although they may get angry, they don't use anger as a tool to hurt someone else.

Healing

2020-05-22T17:33:00.001-05:00

Healing is always of the Mind, not of the body. The body itself is neutral.

If you have received a healing, nothing physical has occurred. The Mind of God is shared between the healer and the person being healed. By your allowing the sharing, your Mind is healed, and this is reflected in the appearance of the body being healed

Ego Anger

2020-05-21T16:56:00.001-05:00

Notice the next time you get angry. Do you become angry because it arises naturally or because you have a thought about a situation or person that makes you angry.

The latter is not real. Thoughts cannot lead to true emotions. If a thought leads to anger, you might call this ego anger, because it's your ego and its strategies, it's looking for grievances, that create this "anger" in you.

You then BELIEVE you are angry, but you are really not. Watch this dynamic happening inside of you. Witness how and when your emotions are preceded and created by a thought.

Humility

2020-05-20T18:15:00.001-05:00

Humility is realizing that you never have enough info to judge a situation. It is realizing that you cannot know the proper response, but that God knows, as you allow His response to come through you.

Your Salvation

2020-05-17T18:12:00.002-05:00

Your salvation is up to you. It is not outside of you. It is not contingent on events in the world or what others do or don't do for you, as if they acted differently or said something you want to hear, everything would be okay.

Your salvation depends on how you see yourself and your relationship with God --- how you see, whether you remember, the oneness that is Now and has always been. Whether you acknowledge and KNOW that Christ is waiting to be remembered and reborn within you. That you are His most holy and blessed child, sinless and perfect like Him, as He created you from Himself.

Rejoice, for your salvation is up to you and eternally established in Him. Nothing "outside" of you can change this.

True Forgiveness

2020-05-16T11:11:00.002-05:00

When you have truly forgiven someone, when you have given it to God and you have moved past it, you no longer think about it at all. If it was some sort of disagreement or argument with someone close to you, and you cannot even remember the basis for the argument, that is a great sign you have put it behind you.

Energetically Complete

2020-05-15T11:46:00.001-05:00

You can't leave something like a job or a relationship in anger. If you do, you may have left physically, but energetically you will still be tied to what you left, preventing you from truly "moving on."

Only when you have a great peace about leaving, without anger, without bitterness, without resentment, can you truly move on.

A Puzzle

2020-05-12T17:45:00.000-05:00

When you buy a puzzle, you see the end vision of what it can be by looking at the box, but then you dump it out and you have to get there by putting all of the pieces together. Every time you put another piece in place, it makes it easier for the next piece because there are fewer pieces left and you are starting to see the image on the box.

Similarly, when you are given a vision of something grand by God, you see what is possible --- you see the completed image. You don't know yet what the pieces are or how they fit together, but you know that God will give you all of the pieces when you need them.

As you begin to put them in place, the direction you need to go, the piece you need next, is revealed to you, and you can really see the finished project coming together. Know that when you are given a vision, it is always possible, even if you have no idea how you will get there, which is the case for most people. Trust that all of the pieces will be given at the appropriate time, for a piece of the puzzle cannot go into place until the pieces around it are in place.

Relationships Are Vehicles

2020-05-11T10:27:00.001-05:00

The purpose of a close relationship is to help each other grow in remembrance of God.

Initially, this will often take the appearance of arguments or "attacks" by one or both people. If we are early in our journey and we feel that we have been attacked, our task will be to offer forgiveness. This will have a much greater impact than we may know at that time, because as we forgive the other person, we are also forgiving ourselves.

As we progress on the journey, we reach a stage where we see these "attacks" as calls for help, calls for Love and forgiveness by the other person. Finally, we come to see these "attacks" as gifts from our Self to our Self, as we are all One. This is a time when we no longer see or classify what we had previously called an attack.

These stages of awareness do not run completely linear. We may spiral back to forgiveness or tools we used earlier in the early part of the journey.
