Daily Light: June 2014
The Holy Spirit is the boat which carries you on the River of Life, but it can only guide you in the present moment and if you have provided an opening. If you have decide in advance where you are going on the River --- what you will be, what you will think, or what you will believe --- you cannot receive the guidance you need to avoid the rapids and big rocks.

Throughout history there have been many atrocities committed on groups of people. When it is over, you have heard the phrase "never forget." When this is said, it is the same as saying never forgive. When we forgive, we don't forget what happened, but we don't dwell on it either. True forgiveness means to see the experience in a different light, a much larger perspective. There is no anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment, or self pity remaining when we truly forgive. If we look back, it is for this important reason. God wastes nothing. Out of every tragedy can bloom roses if we allow it. So when we look back, look back for the gratitude, for the roses, that came out of the experience and allowed us to move closer to Him.

The idea that a God who is Love would be a punishing God is completely illogical and incompatible. When we say God is Love, it is not the same love as a human parent's love, where children are punished and there can be conditions for earning that love. God's Love is unconditional, which means without conditions. We do not have to do anything to earn that Love, and that Love can and will never be taken away from us.

When you really want something you don't have, you have to act as if you already have it, expressing gratitude for it. For in reality, you have it once you have thought about it. If you put the power of your thought in to "I don't have something", then you reinforce not having it.

When you have God's joy, you see with His vision, and there is not judgment present in the sense of something being superior and another thing being inferior. For He is All. What you see as superior and inferior is unique to you alone and does not exist except in your own mind. You have made these classifications, created these differences.

God is with you. What does this mean? Each of us has to go past the intellectual understanding of Oneness and Unity with God to an experiential one. Experiencing this means that you have no worries, no fear --- your "problems" are viewed in a different light --- and you feel His Presence constantly. This is what is meant when we say we are reborn in Christ/Love/God, not accepting some creed or dogma, not accepting what others say about God. You are holy! Right now, and in each and every moment, for all eternity, you are having but not recognizing, an experience of God awakening in you. Allow this to happen. KNOW this is your Truth. God has your back because He is your back. There is no separation between you and Him. You THINK there is separation, because you believe you see separation of everything, but this is false. Even science has now proven that there is one unified field of energy. You cannot see this in yourself, cannot see that you are an inseparable part of the body of God, because you believe you are sinful. The extent that you believe you are sinful is the extent to which you see yourself as separate from God, the extent to which you see Him as a judgmental and punishing God, etc. Take, live, and BE your inheritance as His child, His Beloved, right here, right now. Any delay only delays your peace and joy.

Have you ever thought about how the expression "the heart of the matter" came into being? What in effect it is saying is that all matter is the heart, is Love, is God.

When Jesus said to pay the Roman taxes, he was saying to observe the laws of the world as long as they do not interfere with the laws of God. When we fight with something in this false world, we become more enmeshed in the world, because we are giving power to our belief that the world is real by resisting something in it. If it is not real, why would you need to resist it?

Saying please, thank you, and you're welcome all the time would be a huge leap in healing for the world. Courtesy is the foundation of respect, and respect is the foundation of Love. It starts with the simple and easy gestures. There are many times when we don't feel like smiling or saying a kind word, but if we force ourselves to do that, the miraculous can happen as we become appreciative of the little things and THEN we feel like actually doing these gestures.

There is one Son (Child/Daughter) of God, and we are all part of that Sonship. Jesus was a part of that Sonship, just as you and I are, just as Hitler was. Appearances in this world in terms of appearing to go against the Will of God do not change reality, do not change Truth. We are living in a dream of illusion and we have never left the holy moment of our Creation, eternally sinless.

What is the difference between discernment and judgment? Discernment sees that what other person is doing is not in alignment with God's will or that person's highest good. It could be that they intentionally hurt people through their words, they don't eat healthy, they engage in dysfunctional emotional patterns, etc. But discernment stops there. It recognizes the divinity in everyone and has the compassionate understanding for that person's situation, as we are all experiencing this to different degrees. Love looks past, not agreeing with or enabling that person's actions or words, but keeping a balanced and higher perspective. Judgment judges. It condemns (this is why God is a God of Love, not judgment). Judgment wants to crucify that person for their actions or words. Judgment sees sin where discernment sees error. And judgment always comes from a projection of self judgment. You will judge others to the extent you judge and condemn yourself.

When God gives you a vision of what you are to do, then He will also give you the means to accomplish it. Doors will open, people will come in to your life, and it will be easy. Your task is simply to KNOW that it will happen, to feel the joy around that, and to be open to how that comes about.

Joy comes in finding your life's passion. You are an integral piece of the puzzle that is Life, and when you find your passion, you float effortlessly on the River of Life, serving the role you are meant to serve to help the world awaken. Every piece of the puzzle --- every part of God --- is essential to the whole and to salvation, because we are One. Finding your joy confirms that you are right where you need to be, and doors will open in all directions because you have the power of Heaven behind you.

How do you tell if your thoughts come from the ego or the Mind you share with God? Ego thoughts are fear based thoughts, even if they are "clothed" in something pleasurable. Ego thoughts always revolve around the past or the future, never the present moment. Your true thoughts originate from the Mind of God, of which you are a part. These thoughts are based in the present moment, and they always revolve around Love (compassion, gratitude, etc.). You feel a deep peace with these thoughts.

To possess all that matters, let go of all possessions that do not matter. To understand all that is, let go of all knowledge and learning of the world. To be who you are, stop pretending to be something or someone other than who you are.

Forgive God. Yes, forgive Him for the false beliefs and false concepts you have laid upon Him, the belief that He could be a punishing and judgmental God. For He is pure and holy unconditional Love, as are you, because you are One with Him. Your concept of God is a projection of how you see yourself. If you judge yourself, as most do, many at a severe but unconscious level, this is the lens through which you see the world and see God. The harsher your self judgment, the harsher you see His judgment and punishment. The greater you believe you have sinned, the greater you believe He will punish you for your sins. Do not be the product of false beliefs formed through "negative" experiences such as abuse or unloving parents. You are not that, although you see yourself as that. You are Love. This is the message Jesus came to remind us of. God wishes only to enter into a Beloved relationship with you, but he cannot force this if you hold Him back, if you push Him away because you falsely believe you are not deserving of His Love or that He will punish you if you get to close to Him. It is time to drop these false ways of seeing and believing. It is time for you to take your rightful place as a Son or Daughter of God. Only His Love will satisfy you --- nothing of this world can do that. His Love will cleanse you of all false judgments you hold about yourself and carry you to the highest mountain of Love where you will live in the Kingdom --- not in the future in some other place called Heaven, but right here, right now.

You are not any different than the great spiritual masters as we are all One, we are all part of God. What distinguishes them is their awareness, the choices they make. Each of us, including them, must choose the Light, must choose forgiveness and compassion over resentment and bitterness, much choose Love over hatred, must choose God and Unity over illusion and separation. We are given numerous daily opportunities to do this, especially in these times, and every time we choose the Light we move closer in our remembrance of God as well as lighting the way for others to do the same.

Is your happiness derived from what happens to you? Do you get down if something "bad" happens, if something doesn't come through for you, if that raise or relationship doesn't work out? Are you happy when something "good" happens? Doesn't seem very stable and predictable, does it, as you are subject to whatever life brings you?
Our joy must come from inside, from the joy we share with God through our Oneness with Him. When we operate from this joy, "good" things will happen because we are creating the foundation for them to happen by what we believe and feel, by what we put out there. They may not happen in the way we think, but this is where trust comes in that God has our highest good and that He wants "good" things to happen to you --- because only "good" things exist. When we come from this understanding, we don't get down when one door closes, because we know another door will open and will be even better. And we can be joyful when the doors open because we know that we have released control of how it should look and we have created this through our faith and gratitude.

If you see God as judgmental and punishing (or even withholding of favor as that is two sides of the same coin), you will fear Him. The extent to which you see Him as judgmental and fearful is the extent to which you judge yourself and fear yourself, for if you judge your Self, you cannot know your Self as Love, and fear IS the absence of Love. Fear is the absence of Love, but Love is all that exists, as God is all that exists (of which you are inseparable), so fear is truly only an appearance that is dissolved when Love is recognized. The extent to which you recognize yourself as Love is the extent to which you will recognize your divinity and Oneness with God and All that is.

If you are having a hard time feeling Love for other parts of God, start with respect. If you can't respect other individuals and groups of people, then you can't Love. And if you can't respect others, you are not respecting yourself. Respect is a step on the path to Love, because it shows that you honor, that you don't judge differences, even if you disagree with them. It is an appreciation for all expressions of God.

What does it mean to live from an open heart? An open heart allows you to see as God sees --- without judgment and with eyes of forgiveness as Love looks past. It allows you to be vulnerable yet powerful. If you are vulnerable and are hurt by someone, an open heart is the vehicle for your healing, because only through the perspective of an open heart can you raise your consciousness to see above the words or actions of that person. An open heart loves All and sees only Unity. An open heart means gentleness and kindness --- you cannot live from an open heart and intentionally hurt someone. It means expansiveness of your Being, not contraction. It means unlimited joy --- God's joy. It takes a strong Will and intention to live from an open heart in this world, and it is not only possible, it is essential if you want to survive and thrive in these difficult times.

By the wishes and choices we make at a Spirit level, God brings people and experiences into our life to help us grow in remembrance of our Oneness and divinity. Some people call these trials or lessons, but that is giving them a bad connotation, especially since we have chosen these. These opportunities for growth do not have to be "hard." It is our resistance to them that makes them hard for us. This doesn't mean that there is not some pain in releasing false beliefs and the emotions such as anger and grief associated with them, but the vast majority of people make it much harder on themselves because they resist. We can't avoid the pain, but we can avoid the suffering by not resisting. Our resistance does not allow for the energetic pattern to move through us and be released, so we sit in it, and we try to medicate it with any number of creative ways man has designed --- drugs and alcohol, food, technology obsession, sex, exercise, etc. If we don't allow these beliefs and patterns to be released, we can never feel the peace and joy of God.

You are not defined by what you have done or not done in the past, nor are you defined by the expectations you place on yourself for who you should be in the future. Most people live "outside" themselves, outside their true identity, outside the present moment. When we are tied to the past with guilt, regret, or self judgment, we are not in the Now. And when we limit ourselves through "shoulds" of what we expect ourselves to be in the future, we are not in the Now. When we live "outside" ourselves, we do not feel the truth of living and having our being in God. We are defined by Him --- this is our true identity, not the limiting beliefs and judgments we have around ourselves. And when we live in our true identity, we live in the Now, because we are One with God, and He can only be found in the Now.

The human race has always viewed its systems and organizations through the eyes of separation. This is true across the board for political, economic, religious, and even humanitarian systems. God is seen as separate from all systems, even within religions which see God in Heaven, separate from Earth. The world will not heal, the "problems" cannot be "fixed," until God is seen expressing through all systems and all Life.

Anytime you want to judge, blame, or assign guilt to someone else, that is just a projection of how you feel about yourself. There are no exceptions. If you want to make an exception, you are only prolonging the hell you live in. The question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to live in this misery and hell any longer.

The angels will sing when you do even the smallest gesture of Love, just a smile or an encouraging word. This is as powerful as the miracles Jesus performed. The form is irrelevant. It is the intention, and intention of Love, which matters.

Comparison is an ego trap. Comparison is always about differences, not unity. Comparison makes someone think they are "special" because they have more money, more education, a better body than someone else. This is how the ego feels good about itself --- there is always someone you are better than. You are special but not in the way the ego thinks about it. You are special and holy, because you are One with Him, but this does not make you any better or worse than someone else. Only true peace and joy can come from this recognition.

Many people's lack of financial prosperity comes from a fear of abundance. This is not only a fear that God will not reward them. It is also a fear that God will punish them, for they are two sides of the same coin.

Joy = Creation. God, who is Love, created us with immense joy. When you create anything from a space of love, you feel great joy in that.
