You do not meet evil with anger or attack. You meet it with Love. For all evil is just an appearance that is upheld through belief. When you meet it with Love, which is all that exists, the appearance dissolves.
This applies to the "evil" you think is within you and to the evil that exists in the world and in others. There are people in this world who have left themselves open to be possessed by evil by their actions, their thoughts, their addictions, their desire for money/fame/power, their closed heart, etc. We must always stay in Love when dealing with these forces as Love protects us. This does not mean we associate with these people on a regular basis, but when we have to, we come from compassion and Love while asking God to protect us.
Unless you have feel that you have opened yourself up to an outside evil and it is clinging to you, the "evil" you think is within you is not there. It is your perception, your own self judgment, and you are only Light. Ultimately everything is only Light because it is a part of God. When only Light is recognized, all darkness will fade away, although this may be very long within the illusion of time as we undertake our journey of remembrance back to God.
Evil, within or without, has no power over you if you recognize who you are as a Love creation of God.

Receiving Love is nice, but what you really want to do is give Love. This is where your true joy, the joy of God lies. Every time you love, you reenact Creation. For we were created so that God could love us. When you love, you are experiencing His Love, His joy. Love gives without conditions, selflessly. It is like a stream that runs to the lowest point (those most in need) and nourishes everything with its life giving abundance.

The "farther" we move away from God, the more intense the pain of the perceived separation and of the longing because we are in a Love relationship with Him.
We try to numb that pain with drugs or alcohol or other medicators. Medicators are not just drugs and alcohol but can be everything from workaholism to sexual addiction to obsession with the internet or obsession with the spiritual journey. But whatever the form, this medicator is always unsuccessful, and as the pain and longing return, we up the ante with more of what we have been using or with another medicator.
This same cycle may go on for a while until we have hit our head against the brick wall so much that we are bloodied and we finally see that the search is bringing us nothing but more pain. Then, we surrender, admitting that we have no idea what we are doing, where we are going, and asking for help. We may not even believe in God at this time, but what we have done is create an opening for God to rise in our remembrance.

Don't regret any experiences that you have had. Even if it looks otherwise, everything serves a purpose. Nothing random exists in the body of God.
You would not be the person you
are and have the spiritual awareness you have without these experiences. Use everything as manna.
It is said that if you cut open a cocoon to let the butterfly out, the
butterfly will die. It has to go through the difficult process of
breaking through the cocoon to be what it is meant to be. The same is
for you.We can learn through "positive" experiences, and we can also learn through "negative" or hard experiences as we learn what is not Truth and what is not in our highest good by experiencing the opposite.

Control the things you can control and give what you can't control to God.
The issue lies in determining what you can control. It is highly likely
that you think you can control much more than you really can. Because
you are not a good judge of what you can and cannot control, the safest
route is to assume you can't control anything --- which knocks down the
ego and huge amount and creates humility --- and to give it all to God.
You can't be partially pregnant, and you really can't be partially in
control of certain things and not of others. Of course, at a level of
Spirit, you and God work hand in hand to create what you have asked for
in this lifetime, so that is the ultimate control. But how many people
walk this earth from the same consciousness Jesus did. You are working
toward that consciousness, but until you get there, assume that you
don't know what is in your best interest and you can't control anything.
Give it all to God. With that surrender comes great peace and joy.

Guilt, self judgment, and fear are legs on the same stool. One is rarely
present without the other two. When we believed that we fell from
Grace, we felt guilty, then we self judged, and then we felt fear.
Guilt, self judgment, and fear are what individually and collectively we
project out in this false world. They are not of the Kingdom. Where
Love is present, they cannot be.

Perception is an accurate word. When we "perceive" something, we are
viewing it and judging it through our belief system. Our belief system
shapes and creates what we "see."
Perception is not Truth. It is
at least one step removed from Truth, because Truth cannot be perceived
--- it just is. It is self evident, not up for debate. So when you
see/perceive all of these things in the world, what is the Truth that is
behind what you see?
I see the world as it is? Or the world is as I see it?

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.
If you try to push the timing on something, it won't work. It will be like pushing on a string or eating unripe fruit which makes you sick.
Patience is one of the attributes we must cultivate in this reality. In Heaven we can manifest immediately as thought is creative. In this reality, where we have false beliefs and an ego covering, we do not know that we can manifest immediately. Because he did not have that ego shield and he carried no false beliefs, because he knew that he had no limits as One with God, Jesus was able to manifest immediately. As we work through and release false beliefs, we will do the same --- he told us so!
It is paradoxical, but you need to cultivate patience and dedicate yourself to personal healing so you can then begin to manifest very quickly.

Comparison is a defense used by the ego to attempt (unsuccessfully) to cover its feelings of inferiority. When the world is seen through the ego, it is one of differences. There are those people who have "more" --- better looks, better education, more money, more intelligence, more spiritually evolved --- and there are those people who have "less." The ego makes itself feel better and more safe by comparing itself to those who have "less," which makes it feel superior. Of course, comparison is not of God because All is One and only in this false world do differences appear.

When we say that God has our highest good, what does that mean? It means that we accept the circumstances of our life, even if they are difficult, because we know that we cannot see the whole picture. We are but a tree in the forest. We may prefer that these circumstances change, but we do not resist where we are at, because if we are present where we are at, we are with Him. Our only focus should be faith in Him that He is taking care of us, even if we do not understand why something is happening to us or when it will change. In fact, acknowledging that we do not understand leads to grace throughout our life.

God will bring us many opportunities to practice forgiveness because that is one of our purposes here. There will also be that one person who you just don't want to forgive, often a family member or close friend who has hurt or betrayed you.
But the hard ones are the ones where you are given the opportunity to take a quantum leap in your understanding and compassion and in your relationship with God. It is important to recognize that you withhold forgiveness from someone because you want to punish that person.
When we reflect on the need to punish, we can see that this belief comes from a larger belief system that God is a punishing God, not a God of Love. And it also comes from a belief that we have sinned and should be punished. For if we see sin in someone else, we see it in ourselves. If we have compassion on another and see their divinity, their Oneness with ourselves and God, we automatically have compassion on ourselves and see our Oneness with this other person and God.
We can see sin, separation, and judgment, or we can see what can better be classified as errors, along with Love, and Oneness. Realize that Love looks past. Realize that forgiveness is about YOUR joy and peace.

What you ask for you will get .... IF you are asking for joy, peace, and Love, for these are the fruits of our inheritance.
If you ask for things of the world, like winning the lottery, it is highly unlikely you will get that because you are placing something of the world above God and this does not help us learn who we truly are as One with Him. Occasionally someone may ask to be instantly rich or famous and this happens because God is using this method to show them that this will not bring them happiness --- this teaching method can be a hard road to travel as evidenced by the dysfunction of so many who are famous or powerful.
Only God can bring us happiness, can bring us true joy, and this means releasing the belief that we can find this in anything of the world. The joy of having His Presence with you at all times is all that you truly seek. This doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the things of the world or be rich or famous. In fact, the people who are the largest Light bearers and most powerful teachers are those who have become well known but move and have their Being in Him, doing His Will, the Will of the whole, not their individual will.
Seek Him first all else shall be given.

You can recreate any experience in the past just by thinking about it in a different way. Thought is all that exists, and we only exist in the present moment --- quantum physics has proven that time and space are not fixed as our linear ego mind wants to see it. By thinking of a past event differently, we truly change it for us and everyone else involved. This is the power of Love and Creation.

Life is your greatest teacher. Often that means a person who comes into your life, but Life teaches us through many forms other than this --- the song that speaks to you, the way a bird flies across the sky, the way a tall tree reaches for the sky, a smell, the way the sunlight filters through the trees.
God is ALL, in ALL, and thus everything in and around you is speaking to you of God every single moment. Are you listening? The more you tune in, the more you will hear the message that all is Love. You can get the answer to any question, know which way you are meant to go, by simply asking AND being willing to hear and follow the guidance. Few go into the stillness to listen, and even for those who do and hear the answer, many are not willing to follow the guidance as they do not want to give up certain agendas or grievances.
Your life can be filled with God and His joy, peace, and Love, but you have to be willing. He cannot force this on you because you have free Will. If life is not going as you would like it, don't project on to others. Take a look at yourself and where you aren't willing to look at or go, because therein lies your salvation.

When you project, you push something away that you don't want and you fear. When you see with vision, you join with what calls you to remember your wholeness, which is Love. The former is how the vast majority of people operate. The latter is who you truly are and is how you must live and have your being to be authentic in Unity with God.

Do not let your ego mind lead. Let Spirit lead, and let your mind follow. Use your mind as a tool that you pick up when you need it. It is not the engine of your car; it is the cup holder.
When you judge, or when your beliefs are hardened around who you are, who God is, what you are doing here, etc., your mind is leading, not following.
How do you know the difference? The ego mind generates fear and judgment thoughts. It is always comparing, seeing how it can get something or how it needs to defend itself. The Mind you share with God generates thoughts of Love and compassion, of Unity. How can you be of service to the whole? Peace and joy, not fear, arise naturally from this true place. Witness your thoughts. When you notice your mind wandering into fear based thoughts, center yourself in God and ask for only His thoughts to be in your awareness. It is like practicing with a musical instrument. The more you do, the better you get at it, but you have to practice.
This ego mind that is present for the vast majority on a constant basis will pass away, because it is not eternal. Anything not eternal is not real. Let what is eternal lead.

Fear is nothing more than ignorance of who you really are. It arises when we keep God out.
For when God's Light and the awareness of Truth shines onto your fear, it dissolves. It was based on what was false and what was created in your mind, in your thoughts, which kept you hidden from Him.
Do you fear showing Him and are you ashamed of what you have hidden from Him, or do you fear that you have kept something from Him and He may punish you for that --- or both? Fear creates completely irrational and delusional thinking. God already knows what you have tried to hide from Him, and there is nothing that would ever stop Him from loving you --- that is why it is called unconditional Love. So surrender your fears, your hidden thoughts and beliefs to Him, and be cleansed in His Love.

Why can you live a joy filled life, even under difficult circumstances? Because joy is your inheritance --- you both have and are joy as God created you from Himself. To believe otherwise is to believe something not real, and there are a large number of people who do that.
Many, many, are going through difficult life circumstances, and it is easy to become trapped into identifying with these circumstances, identifying with a victim mentality. But you are Spirit, and these circumstances are only something you are experiencing, not who you are. And it's likely these circumstances will change when you recognize that you have been given the fruits of joy, peace, abundance, and Love as part of the Kingdom.

When God wants to draw you closer to Him, He often uses something you want as a vehicle to do that. Because you want this particular thing to happen so badly that you temporarily give it your focus and "love" over Him, it cannot happen until you let go of it. When you can let go of an attachment to something of the world, you can then receive it, because receiving it does not change your relationship with Him.

When belief falls away, only God remains.
You are awakening to God within you, and the only way to do that is to remove the false which blocks your recognition of God. Each of us is shedding layers of beliefs. Some beliefs are more entrenched than others, and those are usually the ones that are worked on after you shed "easier" or less entrenched beliefs. God knows what you can handle and the pace at which it needs to go. Unfortunately, many resist and want to hold on to old patterns for fear of change, and this is when we become bloodied as we try to cling on to rocks, not allowing the River of Life to carry us effortlessly.
Your releasing of beliefs will take the form of a spiral where you seem to work on and complete one pattern and then it comes back another time. Be easy on your self and hold great self compassion as you are not doing anything wrong --- it is just a very entrenched belief that has to be approached from different perspectives after you have grown.
There are beliefs that we hold individually and those we hold collectively as part of humankind, and sometimes these intersect. As you evolve and work on yourself individually, you are also helping the whole to evolve. It doesn't take many candles to illuminate a darkened house.
Jesus was able to do what he did because he held no beliefs. so he knew there were no limitations. And he said you would do greater things than him. But you must be willing to work on yourself and look at your beliefs, following the path God lays our for your healing.

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.

Most people perceive a difference between sharing a thought and giving away something, like a material possession. They believe that when you give away goods or possessions, you have "lost" them. But this is a view from a separated mind.
Thought creates matter. When you share a thought, it is the same as when you give away a possession. Sharing of thoughts strengthens them. This is how Creation unfolds. So when you share, either in thought form or in "material" form, you will bring more of that back to you.
Also, when you share something, you acknowledge to the Universe that you have that to give. You can only give that which you possess. This reinforcement and acknowledgment brings you more of what you have given, whether that is Love, peace, money, or possessions.

As our ability to understand has evolved, God has revealed more of His true nature.
For instance, in the Old Testament God is not referred to as a Father in terms of a parent and child. He is referred to as a father of a nation, similar to a distant king. During the Old Testament times, many gods were worshipped, and the first step that had to take place was the move to worship the one God. The Ten Commandments were necessary to have people understand a basic moral code, but they were at a place in their understanding where this code had to be transmitted almost as rules to be followed. This went hand in hand with the belief that God was distant and would punish His people if the rules were not followed.
Jesus brought us to a new level of God revealing Himself, as we learned through Jesus that God is Love, God is One, God is All, we are His children, and the Kingdom is within us --- we are never separate from Him. Now, we are in times where our understanding is evolving into an even deeper level of God revealing Himself to us. The Christ is awakening in us as the Christ awakened in Jesus.

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?

God accepts and loves you unconditionally, without question, for He is Love, as are you. Can you not do that for yourself? If you don't love and accept yourself fully (and this is not for you to self judge or shame yourself), who is is correct --- you or Him?

Our relationships are the manna through which we come to know God. They are the primary vehicle in this world through which we see past appearances to the God within --- as we see the God within the other person, we will see God within ourselves.
Too many people flee once the first signs of conflict arise in a relationship, especially in marriage, but they will repeat failed relationships until they become aware of what God is trying to show them. We must stay present in the relationship, even if that means feeling hurt and grief and anger.
It is through our staying present and processing our emotions that we grow, because God is Love, and we must be emotionally open to know Him and that Love, to know that we are Love. Even if your spouse or friend does not remain present and open when conflict arises, this does not hinder your ability to grow from that relationship. In fact, these are your opportunities to learn true forgiveness and to bless that person for what they are giving you in terms of helping you to see who you truly are.
