What Outcome Do You Want?

The outcome of any situation is determined by the goal that you set to be the outcome. When the goal is peace and Truth, that will be the outcome, as your actions and thoughts will be directed to this goal. This is contrasted with the way the ego sees a situation. If you are seeing through eyes of the ego, you do not set a goal, as you believe that an experience or situation consists of random and non controllable events and interactions that happen as part of the experience, and these determine the outcome.

Christ Is Within Each Of Us

You meet your Savior in every day, in every encounter you have, for Christ is within them. Jesus fully recognized the Christ within himself as you are here to recognize it within yourself and others. When you are talking to someone, let them feel the gratitude you have for them being your Savior. And be a Savior to them. We must be Saviors unto each other --- as we recognize the Savior within another, we recognize it within ourself.

Change And Acceptance At The Same Time

How do you change something about yourself? Let's say you get jealous easily. When you condemn yourself for being jealous and you try not to be jealous, you are only giving the jealousy more power by fighting against it. But what if you just witness and sit with your jealousy? It may not feel good, but you are not running from it nor giving it power. You are bringing it to the present moment where God exists. You are being okay with it and with yourself. And in doing this, you transform it.

Raising Healthy Children

You don't have to be perfect to raise emotionally healthy, loving, and non fearful children. But they have to know what is Real and authentic. When you can recognize the areas where you do not have healthy patterns and you point these areas out to your children, explaining why you continue to have the reactions you do, you will give them a base of comparison. Instead of a child, who is a sponge, blindly accepting their parent's behaviors and judgments as gospel, the child will be able to see that there is a different way, even if the parent continues to react in the same fashion. You don't have to be in perfect emotional/spiritual health to raise healthy children, but you do have to recognize those unhealthy areas and patterns within yourself (being brutally honest with yourself), and you have to be willing to discuss those with your children. This is also true with your significant other or good friend. Awakening, being authentic, takes a lot of courage and a strong will to push through and make it a better life for yourself and those around you.

Do You Know?

Two of the most dangerous words in the English language are "I know," unless you are saying I know that I don't know. How can you know the full picture, the complete perspective? Many people believe they know, but they are looking through a very narrow focus. It is kind of like thinking you are seeing a piece of peanut brittle when in fact you have your face pressed up to the bark of an enormous tree, part of an enormous forest. The more you realize that you don't know, the more you will understand, and the more He can work through you. Because to enter the Kingdom, we have to become like little children --- humble, innocent, loving, in the moment. The stronger you hold your beliefs, opinions, and judgments, the more you THINK you know, but the less you really do.

It's Small But Large

When you tell someone, "I love you, but ...", then you are not really telling them you love them! Love, as we know from God's Love, is unconditional. So when you say "but," that is not unconditional. Say "I love you, and I am angry at you." "I love you, and I wish you had done that different." Love is all inclusive regardless of how you are feeling, because Love is the fabric which everything exists within.

Must Start With You

Gentleness and compassion must start with you. If you cannot do this for yourself, you cannot do it for others. Once you have learned to do it for yourself, you will be like an endless fountain of Love, compassion, and peace that flows to everyone you encounter. God powers this fountain, and it is infinite, because He is infinite. You can give fully, without taking away from yourself, because He is the Source.

What Would Happen ...

What would happen if you took that person who you really hate (and hate is the right word) and thought of them as if you were meeting them for the first time. Think of them as if you knew nothing about them and you want to get to know them. No preconceived notions. No past experience with them. This is how God sees them. This is how He sees you, so release the guilt over feeling this way toward them and recognize that they are a part of you.

How Great A Gift They Give You

Forgive those who appear in your dream, those who are kind to you but especially those whom you hate. For you are in a dream of your own creation. Like a play on the stage, all of those people play roles for you, roles that you have asked them to play so that you can awaken from the dream and recognize His Kingdom and His Love. How great a gift do they give to you? They are a part of you, helping you to remember that you and them are a part of Him. They will continue to appear to you as people who anger or betray you, people whom you can't forgive, until you begin to realize that this is your dream. Then you will see the folly and silliness of it all, that judgment and self judgment come from an ignorance of who you really are. He will be there laughing with you, and you will have His peace and joy.

Everything Is God

Everything has a consciousness of God running through it --- a lake, a tree, a rock, a bird, the sun, a group of individuals, a nation. God's joy is that each expression is unique. He comes to know Himself in an infinite number of ways. Don't be limited by the belief that He expresses only through something "alive" or the belief that His expression through humans is the best. Each expression reflects perfection, for perfection is not the form, but it is just the holiness of the act of expression.

Being Authentic

When you need to find out something from someone, ask them directly. So many people are afraid to even ask a question --- they would rather not know. And even if a question is asked, many phrase it so that their intent is unclear. It is almost as if they are ashamed to ask it or they really don't want to hear the answer. You cannot make decisions, you cannot live an authentic life, have authentic relationships, unless you are completely honest and direct. This doesn't mean you have to hurt someone's feelings when you ask the question. It also doesn't mean that their answer will hurt your feelings, although this is possible. Remember, be direct in all your relationships as this makes them authentic. This includes your relationship with God. There has been so many layers of dogma and expectations and shoulds that have been laid down by others who have made it look as if we have to do all these things to get to Him. Go direct! Direct equals simplicity equals authenticity.

It's A Game

When we begin to awaken from the dream, we see how we have ignored the truth of who we are, how judgment and self judgment could never exist, and we laugh at how silly we have been. Just like a child plays pretend, we must be like a child to enter Heaven. Because Heaven is already within us, we only need to make a recognition, not a change in who we truly are. When you understand that this reality is a game, you will no longer have fear, and you will act with great compassion and a desire for service to change the world, the appearance of this reality, to the Love that underlies all.

Giving Is Receiving

This dream world of separation we appear to live in reinforces a false belief that we need to be hoarders and accumulaters, that there are limits to everything and we need to keep all we can. This is the false idea of sacrifice, that if you give away something, you have "lost" it. The Native Americans used to have a ceremony where a member of the tribe would give away all of their possessions, because that person knew in doing so it would come back to them tenfold. This is how God's Kingdom works. It is one of Unity --- by giving, you are receiving, because you are giving to yourself. Now, I am not telling you to give away all of your possessions, but in terms of financial and other types abundance, the more you tithe, KNOWING that God as Source is unlimited and that you will receive it back tenfold, the more you will receive. And this is especially important as you talk about compassion, forgiveness, kindness, and Love. The more you give these, the more you will have these appear in your life. We are not separate from anything. God created us as part of Himself.

Compassion

You can't have compassion on anyone else unless you first have it on yourself. The recognition that you deserve compassion is the one that releases judgment and allows you to have compassion on others. Compassion is a foundation of Love, and since God is Love, God is also compassionate. He does not see the "sins" in you that you see in yourself. If you can only realize that you and others have made mistakes, but in Unity nothing can fall outside of Love, you will live from a heart centered space where no judgment exists and compassion overflows. When we exhibit compassion to others and to all situations, we are giving to ourselves because we are One. What we do to another is what we do to ourselves.

Types Of Prayer

Prayers of gratitude come from your Real Self and are heard throughout the Universe. Prayers asking for material possessions or worldly things come from an illusory self that falls away when we die. You don't know what is in your best interest, so leave that up to God and be grateful that He knows and for the abundance and Love that is in your life NOW.

Are You Willing ...?

Are you willing to be wrong about something because you want peace above all else? Being "right "or "wrong", becoming mad and seeing injustices, these are of the ego. Peace is of God. You must be willing to be wrong in all situations and with all people if you truly desire peace. And realize that "right" and "wrong" are a matter of perspective. This softens judgment.

Divine Timing

As an integral piece of the puzzle we call God, you go into place when the other pieces around you have been placed. This is Divine timing.

Beliefs and Fear

How can you believe in "some thing" when there is only the One? Belief is impossible in Unity, because beliefs requires the false concept of separation. Only knowledge is present in Unity. The more someone is hardened in their beliefs, the more that they cannot be a clear vessel for God to work through and give them knowledge. We hold onto our beliefs because we think they keep us safe. In reality it is our beliefs that create our fear.

Having The World's Adulation

You do not find happiness by being famous or having an identity where people know them. Some people learn this by being famous and seeing that it does not bring them the happiness they seek, but others pretend or fool themselves that they have found happiness through adulation of the world. You find your true joy, an inner joy, by being a vessel of Love and by knowing who you truly are. That joy arises from finding the Love of God and expressing that to others. You can do this even if you are famous, because you can be famous, have the adulation, but know it is not real.

What Is True Forgiveness?

Forgiveness is not where you continue to remember and acknowledge the act occurred but you forgive the act because this is the "right" thing to do or what God wants you to do. That is a false forgiveness and an ego strategy in which you "fake pity" on the other person but you make sure they continue in bondage (as well for you) by never forgetting what happened. True forgiveness is a part of Love, and Love looks past. Love looks past the false to see itself. When you operate from Love, from true forgiveness, you come from your heart, not from your ego mind which is trying to punish. With true forgiveness you see from a much higher perspective, a heart/God perspective. When we "for give," we are literally giving away all of the anger resentment, and bitterness around what occurred, and when we do this, we are truly giving away the memory, as if nothing ever happened.

Does It Have To Be Hard?

Do you believe that God goes before you and makes easy the way? Do you believe that He will take care of your every need and bless you with great abundance? If not, then these things will not happen. It is not God who blocks the path --- we block it. We falsely believe that it has to be hard, that we have to do something, some penance, to earn His Love and for Him to give us the Kingdom. Oh if you only dropped all false beliefs of who you are, the path would become so easy.

Willingness

If you want to continue growing in your remembrance of your Oneness with Him, you must be willing to look at everything about yourself. Where are those blocks, those false beliefs? What areas are you trying to "hide" from Him? What do you fear that He will see? You must only be WILLING to look at everything, without exception. Then God can take it from there. But if you are not willing, He cannot bring you closer to Him. Look at your willingness. Where and what do you hold back from Him? What do you resist? Lawrence Doochin

Look Around!

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. It's all a matter of perspective. Lawrence Doochin

Are You So Comfortable ...

Are so comfortable in your strong opinions and beliefs that you aren't willing to look at them? Does it make you feel good to be so righteous. It doesn't even matter what you would go to war over in order to defend "what you know is right." Do you know that these beliefs are not allowing Him in so that He can really show you who He is?

Projection

People get angry or depressed when they believe that their partner, good friend, boss, etc is not giving them what they need or want. But in reality they are not getting what they need from themselves, and they are projecting this on to this other person. If they never see this pattern, they will go from relationship to relationship, always projecting, and never willing to take a look at who they are and what they are projecting.

How Do You Respond?

That person who mistreats you and either attacks you or totally ignores you, is calling for Love. How do you respond? How you respond shows your consciousness, because if you respond out of Love, you know that Love is being given to yourself, for there is only the One. It is our ego that becomes offended and holds grievances. Our spirit knows only Unity and Love.

Are You Really Surrendering?

How often do you say you are going to surrender something to God but then retain control of it? Do you still worry about it when it crosses your mind? Do you still envision outcomes? Do you still talk to others about it? Then you haven't truly let go, and you cannot blame Him for not taking care of it when you didn't really give it to Him. When you have truly given something to Him, you have a great peace around it and you don't have any expectations as to the outcome as you know He always has your highest good. And you probably don't know what your highest good looks like --- that is why you need to surrender everything.

What Does Unconditional Mean?

Think closely what it means when we say that God's Love is unconditional. This means without conditions. Nothing is required of you. There is nothing you need to do to earn that Love. Nothing you have to say, do, think, or believe in --- you have that Love, are that Love, by virtue of your Oneness with Him. You were created by Love to be the object of that Love, and you are that Love as well. All else is false.
