Certainty Versus Belief

There is a certainty, not a belief, behind who you are. This certainty comes from God --- it is that simple. You are One with Him and He is your identity. Your identity does not come from what your job is, how smart you are, how you look, where you went to school, etc. Don't look to anything outside of yourself for confirmation of who you are.

Who Are You?

How do you label yourself? Democrat, vegetarian, lawyer, fat, Catholic, older, student, intelligent, American, mother, etc? May I suggest instead --- One with God, Christ, Son of God, Daughter of God. You can't identify --- you can't truly think it is real --- yourself as something of the world and not be invested in the world. If you are invested in the world, you can't recognize your divinity.

Right and Wrong

In Oneness and His Love, there are no absolute rights and wrongs. For it is only what is "right" and "wrong" for you in each moment as God leads you. What is "right" or "wrong" for you will change over time, just as it will be different for each person. The belief that there are absolute rights and worngs goes hand in hand with the belief the world is real, that we have separated from God and sinned, etc. What about murder or rape? The more you know Unity and His love, the greater any act like this, even hatred towards another, becomes "wrong" for you. For you may want to make a distinction between murder/rape or just hatred toward someone, but there are no differences in illusions. These are all attacks that come from a mind which believes in separation. You choose either Love or fear, God or the ego. Remember, everything that happens here is like a play on a stage. Someone who is asleep and not aware of their divinity may commit a murder, but this is not for us to judge them as to whether that is "right" or "wrong" for them. That murder may become the basis for a huge opening of forgiveness and someone coming home to God. We never have enough info to judge anyone or anything.

Our Consciousness Is Evolving

The Ten Commandments and other ancient teachings were given as guidelines, not rules that if broken we would be punished. God does not punish --- He only Loves. These ancient guidelines were meant for those who lived at that time, as they were given what they could understand and work with at the place of consciousness they operated within. Any teaching like this is not intended to be a prohibition leading to punishment. What these teachings are saying is that if you follow the one God and live according to His Will, you will do this and not do that, etc. When Jesus said do not judge, he was not admonishing us for judgment. He was saying that if you live a God filled life, there will not be judgment present.

Love In Non Obvious Ways

Love can be exhibited in an infinite number of forms. It can come through an action, or a non action. For instance, let's say you have always reacted out of fear, anger, and blame when you discuss a particular subject with your spouse. But the next time you discuss the subject you don't come from this space, or you hold back with blame, then you have created Love through your non action. It was your intention that created this.

Blessings

Blessings abound. They are all around you. If you don't see them, stop looking for what is not there and look for what is there. You can be a victim or you can be a warrior. If you are a victim, you will always find blame in something outside of yourself. If you are a warrior, you will make the best of bad circumstances that everyone encounters. With the former there will inevitably be depression, with the latter there will be gratitude and His peace and joy, even under difficult circumstances.

True Forgiveness

Jesus is the example of forgiveness, not because he forgave those who "sinned" against him, but because he showed that true forgiveness demonstrates that sins don't exist, only errors of understanding created by being asleep in the dream. Love sees past the belief that we can be separate from God and sin. If we are sinful, then God must be as well because we are not separate from our Source.

Your Choice

You can choose to be offended by something, or you can choose to not be. The key is that it is your choice. It doesn't depend on what the other person said or did. You can see it as the most "horrific" thing in the world, but you have the power of choice in terms of how you react to it. Why would you not want to be offended? It does not bring you His peace, nor His power. The powerful are those who are able to look past --- look past the offense, look past the betrayal, look past the harsh words. For when we look past what is only an appearance, we see God within everything and everyone.

Scarcity and Abundance

This world is based on the principle of scarcity, not abundance. Abundance is of God, and scarcity is of the ego. When you see separation and you see separate bodies, you believe that something can be taken from you and that you could permanently lose it. This leads to hoarding and greed, which is a belief in scarcity, as you believe that that there is not enough to go around. With a vision of Oneness, there is no separation. When you give, you are also receiving. The more that is given, the more abundance there is for everyone as this is how creation works.

Hard Or Flexible?

Our beliefs are like a wall that separates us from our recognition that we are One with Him. Is your wall made of stone that is hard and inflexible, or is it made of jello where it is flexible and easily passed through? Since your beliefs CAN change, can they be real? Is anything that is temporary and changeable real? God is Changeless. As part of Him, you are Changeless. So where do beliefs that can obviously change (although some people are very resistant to looking at their beliefs and to changing them) fit into who you are? They obviously don't fit very well. The less you are attached to beliefs, attached to really anything, the more you can know Him.

If Only

If only I had this amount of money, I would be happy. If only my family would pay me attention, I would be happy. If only I had a soulmate, I would be happy. If only I had a body that looked like a model, I would be happy. If only she would change, I would be happy. If only I had a new car, a new house, ... if only, if only. Wow, happiness can be found in a lot of places --- except in you. "If only" may come, but by then you will be on to the next "if only".

You Are What ....

You are what you eat, think, see, and do. If you eat unhealthy junk food or heavily processed foods, you are polluting His Temple and He cannot shine through you. If you constantly think poisonous thoughts, you cannot hear Him speaking to you, nor can you reflect His thoughts and His Love to those you encounter. If you see a world of evil and believe that this is truly how it is an not an appearance, this reflects how you feel about yourself. If you commit acts that are harmful to others, you are really committing those acts on yourself.

At This Powerful Time

You are here at this momentous and evolutionary time on Earth to fulfill your part in salvation. Only YOU can fulfill this part. You are part of the puzzle of God. You can only fit into place when the other pieces around you are in place. Thus we all need each other to create the puzzle.

When God Created You ....

When God created you, He created an extension of Himself, of Herself. Just as a thought can never be separate from the mind which created it, you can never be separate from your Source. Do you realize how much He Loves you as a part of Himself? Do you realize how holy you are?

Your Own Little World

You think that you know what people are thinking about you and what they are judging you on. But do you realize that you are basing that on your own judgments of yourself? You have no idea what another person's thoughts are and whether they are even judging you or not. What does this show you? It shows you that you create this little personal world based on your beliefs and judgments. This "belief system" is unique to you alone. Thus it has no validity. In fact, no judgment has any validity. God did not create judgment for He is Love.

Watch Your Anger

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 is your ego and its strategies, its 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.

Dream

Keep dreaming of what you want, and it will manifest. Dream of what is your highest desire, even if you think it is impossible. Nothing is impossible. We can create miracles just as Jesus told us we would do more than he did. It is only our own limiting beliefs that hold us back. Remember, know that Christ is within you and you will be the writer, director, and actor of whatever movie you want to create.

True Forgiveness

When we practice true forgiveness, not the religious model of forgiveness, we are not forgiving something that we think really happened. If it really happened, then we are being asked to "overlook" something, and that is impossible. You can't forgive something and still be angry or have feelings about it, which is how the religious model of forgiveness operates --- I forgive you but I still remember the act. Or God forgives us but still remembers we are sinners. The basis of true forgiveness looks at the act which we think is real and sees the illusion for what it is. It sees the Love behind all acts and appearances. It knows that words or actions are done from fear and that the person committing these acts is unaware of their divinity or they would not act in that manner. It takes great courage for you to look behind the words or actions of another person which hurt you, but this will open the gates of Heaven for you. By offering true forgiveness, you not only acknowledge the divinity of the other person, you acknowledge your own divinity.

Appearances

Is the world is as you see it, or do you see the world as it is? For the vast majority of people, they see the world through colored lenses. These distorted lenses are made up of their beliefs that have formed --- about themselves, God, the world, others, etc --- from their experiences (the past) and their expectations (the future). Only in the Now can you truly see what is behind appearances. Don't be deceived by appearances. Behind all appearances is God, Love, and Unity. Quantum physics has proven that only one unified field of energy exists. So everything you see --- all differences that you judge --- is just a covering over that field. Behind the most horrific act is Love. When the horrific act falls away, because it was only temporary like a play on the stage, only Love remains. Why would you place your faith in appearances that are false and will fade away when you have the vision to see behind them?

Spiritual Arrogance

Spiritual arrogance, as opposed to general arrogance, is the kind of arrogance which delays us the most on our path of remembrance back to God. Unity mean equality --- every part is "special", every part is holy. We can only enter into the Kingdom if we are like a little child --- humble. Do you think a youndg child judges someone as better than another? We are all at different levels of learning, but this is all part of the dream of remembrance, for we are stil in the holy moment of our Creation as the one Child of God. Jesus was not "better" than you. He just awakened earlier than the rest of us. If you feel that you are more spiritual than someone else, be willing to look at how that is a defense to healing and awakening.

SELFless Service

One act of service, done without the desire that it be known, is infinitely more powerful and rejoiced in Heaven than a thousand acts done with the desire that people hear about them. When you know yourself as One, you want to be of service because this is what Love means. Humility is inherent in that, and you can give of yourself endlessly because you are a fountain powered by God.
