Daily Light: December 2017
We have forgotten. We have forgotten that we live and have our being in Him. We have forgotten that we are not the roles we play, that we are only actors in a dream. We have forgotten that His Love created us and sustains us.
But it is not too late to make a different choice. It is not too late to turn our face back to Him, for this is the answer to all of your problems. The Kingdom is within us, and only by recognizing that can we create a different world.
Each of us must individually make this choice so that collectively, as the One, we create Heaven on Earth. Do not place any idols before Him. What is it that you are attached to --- a relationship, career, prestige, material goods, food, medicators --- what is it that you place before Him?
For we all try to use idols or trinkets of the world to the fill the longing we have for Him. The farther we perceive that we move from Him, the greater the longing and the more we try to fill that hole. Time is running short and everyone is being pushed to make a choice.
This decision cannot be made from your mind --- one where you go back to the same ways the next hour. It has to be a commitment and a remembrance, a longing from the whole of your Being that comes from your heart.
This is something only you can do for yourself. Do not turn your face away from Him again on a fruitless search. He waits for you. He desires you as much as you desire Him. This is why you were created.

When you have anger, or resentment, or bitterness, or anything that seems the opposite of His peace, it feels as if He is not present.
This is completely false. It feels as if He is not present, because you self judge these "non peaceful" feelings. It is your self judgment which appears to cut you off from God, not the anger or the bitterness itself.
He is All and He is present within All, including your "negative" feelings and thoughts. Don't fight against or self judge that which you don't like. Know that He is already there in the middle of it.

What has more power? You or your beliefs? Think about the difference. Are you your beliefs or something else? Can anything that changes, like your beliefs, be of God, who is Changeless? If you are not your beliefs, who are you?

God speaks in the language of Love to you. You can know what His Will is for you by listening with your heart, not your head. Because we will never hear Him through our intellect. We can't think God --- we can only KNOW Him.
God is talking to each of us, we are in this holy communion, every single moment, if we will only listen. It is a song that we have known forever, because it is eternal, as are we.
God is trying to awaken each of us to our divinity, to the reason He created us --- so that we could be the object of His Love and be in a Beloved relationship with Him. He will draw everyone to Him in the timing and the way that is best for each person. Unfortunately, many turn their face from their Creator, and God must nudge us ever more strongly to help us see what is Real and what is false.
Awakening does not have to come through sickness, or poverty, or any type of tragedy. If we will only pay attention to His signals, we can awaken to Him with joy and ease.

When we are told to pray without ceasing, this does not necessarily mean that we are constantly saying a prayer in our thoughts. This is not practical as we move through the world.
But what is possible is to constantly keep our attention on God. To remember Him and to continually call in His Presence is the highest form of prayer, because it is communion. We actually don't have to call Him in, because He is already within us, as we are One with Him. All we need to do is "tune" ourselves to His frequency --- similar to tuning a radio to a station and clearing the static.
When you tune to God, you are clearing the static of the world which blocks you from recognizing His Presence within you. You do this by removing what is false within you that blocks recognition He is there --- dropping false beliefs about yourself and Him.
You can do this tuning in every moment, even when you are doing tasks or talking to someone. The more you do this, the greater will your peace be. Are you placing your attention on Him or on the trinkets of the world?

"Peace" and "happiness" for the ego means winning, always having to be right, and always wanting more. But that also means being alone, even if you are with another, as you have created an artificial wall that prevents you from seeing Unity.
God's peace and happiness means knowing there is no "right" as what is right and wrong is unique to each of us based on our own belief system --- we "see" what we want to believe, then we use that to confirm our belief, like a dog chasing its tail.
Black and white do not exist in the Kingdom of God as everything blends to grey. God's peace and joy comes from acknowledgment of Unity, from acceptance of everything and everyone, even if you discern (not judge) that some people's action are not okay and God prompts you to speak up.
This understanding means never feeling alone, even if you are not around anyone else. Do you feel you always have to be right? Is it more important to be right or to have God's peace and joy?

We are all teachers to each other. What we believe, we demonstrate through our actions and words, and this teaches us (reinforces what we believe) as well as those we encounter.
When we are on a spiritual awakening, we often have a teacher who is more advanced than us and can give us their wisdom. The test you should apply to any teacher is what their experience has
been. You know, through your own experience, whether what they tell you
has validity. And you know, from your own internal guidance, if the
experiences they speak of are the next step in your journey. If
something doesn't feel right, don't ignore that.

You have to have the eyes to see and the ears to hear --- God's eyes and ears.
Each of us has a belief system which distorts this. What we "see" and "hear" is altered or shaped by the prism of our belief system. Our beliefs are unique to us --- no one else. Anything that is not universal (Truth, God) is not real. If we step back from our belief system, then we can begin to truly see what is there.
Humility is borne from the knowing that we cannot understand many things --- we have stepped back from our belief system. Humility then provides the opening for God to reveal Himself to us. Then we still don't understand --- but we know. We know the Truth of our being, our Unity with God.
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates that, and for those who don't (and do), Merry Life to those who read these posts and are part of this community. I am very grateful for that :)

Most people don't know what makes them happy. If they did, they wouldn't keep doing the things that make them unhappy.
You likely don't know what is in your own best interests. If you did, you would be happy all the time. Think of a situation you are trying to control. If you are honest, you will realize and admit that you often have conflicting goals and outcomes you want to happen.
You don't know exactly what will make you happy, and this creates a lot of angst and depression. That is why trying to control anything is futile. When you release control to God, that is a strong statement of faith that He will completely take care of you. He knows what is your highest good and what will give you true joy --- the joy of His Kingdom.

When Jesus said judge not lest you be judged, he was referring to the judgment you would bring upon yourself, not a judgment God would visit on you.
For God is a God of Love, not judgment, and the Final Judgment will be one where God rejoices that we have returned to Him in our remembrance --- He will "judge" us as His most holy and sinless child.
Jesus was referring to the psychological principal of projection. We project what it is we don't like about ourselves in an attempt to "get away" from it. But this is impossible, as ideas/beliefs never leave their source.
When we judge someone or something, we are projecting our own self judgment --- the harsher the judgment, the more that person self judges, the more they see evil in the world, the more they see God as a punishing God, etc.

When you see all experiences, "negative" or "positive" as Love, then you have grown tremendously.
It is easy to see Love as All when you are living in great abundance, you are conflict free, etc. But it is hard for us to see it when someone has taken advantage of us, or a calamity occurs.
If Love could be partial, then it would not be Love, as Divine unconditional Love is without exception. That is why human ego love is partial, applied only in certain circumstances.
Appearances do not make for reality. What is behind appearances, what is behind the false, is what is Real --- Love, God, Unity. These are whole and complete and do not have differences or perceptions of "good" and "bad" or "negative" and "positive."
To be in this world but not if it means you see differences but know they are only an appearance.

Your identity is determined by recognizing the Source of that identity --- God!
You are not the forgotten grandmother, the esteemed lawyer, the underappreciated mom, the middle child, the powerful politician. These are roles you have chosen to help you learn, to help you have experiences and encounters with others for the purpose of remembering who you truly are.
Too many people get lost in the illusion of this world. Too many see themselves as better than others or as a victim. This is powerlessness. Believing you are these identities strips of you true power, the power that comes from your Unity with God.
He has given everything you need to be happy. You won't find it in seeing yourself as different, in judgment,, in seeing from a two hearted perspective. You will BE His joy and peace when you see from a one hearted perspective, when you know everyone and everything is a part of you. Then you can fill whatever role He asks you to fill with joy --- which may or may not be the same thing you are doing now --- not for what it can do for you but for what it can do for His glory, for the greater whole.
If everyone realized this, we would have Heaven on Earth. And there is no role better than another. Being kind, compassionate, loving, trying to shine His Light in all instances -- this can be done in all instances, all roles, all encounters, and these acts are far greater than the vehicle or role He places you in to deliver these gifts.
Fulfilling your Divine destiny and role is the most holy thing you can do and one which gives you an inner joy that is far more than any that can come from this world.

You don't measure a person by their achievements, but by their willingness to be authentic and consistent.
God sees our authenticity, not what we do for a living, how much power we hold, how much money we have. He sees our heart, how much Love we put into the world, how we learn from our mistakes, how we come to Him in the silence, how we listen to Him, how we have compassion on ourselves and others. For what we achieve in this world is not real to Him, not real in Heaven. But what is in our heart is Real.
When we are authentic, we are consistent in trying to be the best version of ourselves. We will have days when our best is different than other days, and for this we need to have selg compassion. The question we need to ask is if we are constantly looking to Him, constantly willing to look at ourselves so more of His Light can shine through.

It is difficult to give up this world if you still think that you are sacrificing something, that you are giving up your happiness, even salvation. It is even more difficult to give up this world if you don't have full faith that what lie behind the appearance of this world are joy, peace, and Love.
Giving up this world does not mean that you don't enjoy the things of the world. We don't have to live in a cave or be poor. There is nothing we have to do to earn God's Love. We are meant to enjoy the riches of the Kingdom and this includes material abundance as well as peace, joy, and Love abundance.
When we give up the world, we give up attachment to things of the world. What do you place above God? What is more important to you? Is it a person, a belief, money, a career, a respect you need from others? There is always something. That is why Jesus said it is harder for a rich man to enter Heaven than a camel pass to pass through the eye of a needle. Money, fame, respect, sex, power, even acting like a victim --- they are all very seducing.
But that is why you are here in this Earth school --- to learn what you truly value. Do you value God above anything else AND consistently feel this, do this, in all of your interactions and experiences? No one said this path is easy, but it is very holy and very rewarding, for in the end you have Him, if that is what your heart desires.

God is not complex. By definition, Oneness means the same, without differences. There are no opposites --- there is nothing that counters Truth. There is nothing that opposes God.
What we see as differences is only an appearance, similar to someone wearing a mascot costume at a college game. This is hard for most people to grasp as they see a world of bodies, but like the costume, the body is not real. It will go back to dust, as will everything "physical." Everything you "see" is only an appearance, and behind all appearances is the Oneness, the Unity.
It is this Unity that gives you everything you need, takes away all fear, shows Itself to be only Love.

God is a God of Love, not judgment. Divine Love sees only Itself, loves only Itself, and does not place conditions on that Love. Otherwise it would not be Divine Love.
Many believe that Divine Love is conditional, involves judgment and certain things we have to do to earn that love, but this false and a belief formed from an ego that lives in separation. Many falsely see God how they see themselves. If they believe they have sinned and they judge themselves for that, then they will see God as judgmental.
God's "judgment" on us is that we are His/Her most holy child and that we are loved far beyond our comprehension. He waits for us to awaken to to this, to leave this dream, this nightmare, that we have separated from Him and that we have sinned against Him because of that. You are in a unique dream of your own making, and you can awaken to the reality of who you are as part of God and all Unity when you choose. You simply have to drop what your false beliefs and He will be there, for He was never not there.

What you believe in, you create. You are what you think, because your thought is that powerful. God created us as an extension of Himself, Herself, through thought --- a Love thought --- and you have the same ability to create.
Your thought, your beliefs, your intentions, create the reality you "see". If you think the world and others are out to get you, then you will be presented that reality. If you think that Love is the essence of everything, that it is behind all appearances, that is what you will see. The Universe bends to your desire.
Unfortunately, many never see this universal law 101 for what it is. So if they think the world is out to get them, they bring people and experiences into their reality which show them this, and then they believe it, which reinforces their belief, which brings them more of the same, etc. It is like a dog chasing its tail.
Not a very good system unless you understand the inherent good and abundance in everything and you take responsibility for your actions and thoughts. Then the system works as God intends and life flows with a beautiful joy and simplicity. When you understand how it works, and you put out what it is you want --- joy, abundance, kindness, compassion, Love, peace --- then you bring those fruits of the Kingdom to you. Concentrate and be grateful for health, not be worried about disease. Be grateful for financial security, not energizing the worry over being financially strapped. Even if you don't think you have health or financial security, PRETEND as if you do and feel grateful for that. It is not really pretending as it actually changes you at a DNA level and brings to you what you need.
So be very careful what you energize with your thought. Is it fear or Love? Is it judgment or compassion? Is it abundance or lack?
What is the difference between these two statements? I see the world as it is? And the world is as I see it?

If you had no self judgment, you would be Divine. Actually, you are already Divine -- this cannot change! But you would feel your Divinity, feel God's Presence within you, to the state where it brings you to tears of gratitude.
This is where you are headed! This is your inheritance. Jesus said you would do greater things than him. Do you not take him at his word? He raised the dead and fed everyone gathered from one fish. Wow, what does that mean you are capable of doing?
You will do greater things because you are as holy as him and he showed us the way. He showed us that when we do not believe ourselves to be sinful --- which is having no self judgment and allowing God to fully work through us --- then we have no limits. Miracles are only seen as miracles in a world where there appears to be limits and where people think they are limited. In Heaven, miracles are the norm :)
But didn't Jesus tell us that Heaven is within us and that we can have the Kingdom here and now? So what appears to be limits in this reality is just that, appearances.
You are holy beyond measure. You just don't recognize it --- yet. This is why you are here at this incredible time on Earth. If you want to recognize it, be willing to drop what prevents you from recognizing it. Pretty easy and logical, right? Funny how people want to hold on to certain beliefs and don't do what they know is in their best interest.
God waits in infinite patience and Love for you to recognize who you are. Again, it is only about recognition and remembrance, for you are already there. How willing are you to drop what is false in you, how badly do you want it? If you want it, truly want it, you have to be consistent. You have to constantly witness your thoughts and beliefs and bring yourself back to Truth when you fall off center. When you have an emotional reaction, like anger, ask what is the belief behind that. And keep witnessing and unwinding that belief system, because it is a contorted ball that affects everything you do.
When you will fall off center (which you will) and don't live up to your expectations, then have compassion on yourself. Self compassion is the single most important thing you can do to bring yourself into God awareness. It is truly what heals you above anything else, because self compassion allows you to drop the self judgment. When you drop the self judgment ..... then only God is there. And having self compassion allows you to have compassion on everyone and everything. Then you see only through eyes of Unity, which is all that exists. What a beautiful and holy endless fountain of compassion and Love that becomes. And then life becomes very magical.

It is your mind which is the source of all of your angst and turmoil,
and it is the collective of all minds which creates the appearance of
turmoil and evil in the world.
This does not mean the mind is not a
valuable tool which is needed at times --- it should be used like a tool
that is picked up and then put down. A hammer does not build a house. A
person uses the hammer as a tool to build the house, and this is how
your mind should be viewed.
You will know with certainty the first time
you access the mind you share with God, for these thoughts are in the
Now, and they are joy, peace, and Love based. The thoughts coming from
your false mind are always based in the past or the future and are fear
and judgment based.

You don't have to say, do, or think certain things to be accepted by God. You don't have say, do, or think certain things to be your Real Self, to be in the Light, to be awake or "enlightened."
You are already complete and perfect as you are --- NOW. The big misconception of the spiritual path, really any path you see yourself on although they are all "spiritual," is that you have to change yourself in some way. You have to do this practice, or abstain from doing something else, say a certain prayer all the time, or eat certain foods, etc. etc. etc. Ask yourself what it is you believe that you must do to earn God's Love, to be in Grace, to fit in. What do you think you need to do change yourself? Do you see how your belief that you need to change yourself is preventing you from seeing how incredibly holy and Divine you are, right now.
Your divinity, your holiness, is your inheritance from God. There is NO THING that can change that, regardless of what you believe about yourself. For what you believe and what is Truth are completely different.
Accept yourself NOW in this moment, exactly as you are. Isn't the most amazing and blessed thing that we don't have to do anything other than be who we really are? We don't have to add anything --- we just have to subtract, release what is false that covers up our recognition of the purity that is inherent. You see all these flaws in the diamond, but the diamond is completely perfect, no inclusions or flaws. This is how God sees you all the time. If you don't believe that, ask Him, and then be really ready for the answer. Because He waits to tell you this. He waits to tell you how much He loves you. You just aren't listening. You have to take away the chatter of the world because it is false and leads you to believe something about yourself and others that is not true. God is One. If He is Divine, which I can wholeheartedly assure you He is, then you are as well, because He is ALL that exists.
This doesn't mean that you can't take actions to "improve" yourself. It is the recognition of what needs to be improved that allows you the higher perspective of recognizing that you are perfect as is. It sounds paradoxical because it is. Our very existence as Divinity in a human body is paradoxical. We can recognize our perfection while also recognizing what we need to change to allow more of that Divinity to shine through. For the Divinity cannot NOT be there. It is just covered up by the clouds of your false beliefs. By removing the clouds, the false beliefs, the Sun, the Divinity is able to come through in magnificent brilliance. You are not only in the Light, you Are the Light.
