Seeing the God within someone who has hurt you or who has destructive behaviors does not mean that you allow that to continue. You must establish boundaries, which could mean that this person is no longer in your life.
Can you forgive, seeing the God within, acknowledging your feelings or hurt, while doing what is best for you --- you make the decision with God as to what is best for you --- not from anger but forgiveness. We must never withhold forgiveness from anyone or any situation, especially from ourselves.
There is only one Will of God, and what is best for you, what is the highest good, is also what is best for that person. Your highest good is what is their highest good (and vice versa), whether they recognize it or not (often not).
When you need to separate yourself from someone because their behaviors are not God affirming for you and you confirm this with God, then do it with great compassion for yourself and them. When you do this, you have created a miracle and you have put a lot of Light into this false world, which it so badly needs.
Always allow Him to guide you in everything you do, because He knows what is the highest good for all involved.

You can look at something you are experiencing as punishment, or you can look at it as an opportunity to grow stronger in your faith and grow closer to Him.
The former goes hand in hand with the belief that God is a punishing God and the latter goes hand in hand with a God who is Love.

The paradox is that the shadow qualities you want to hide and get rid of must first be embraced as a part of you, a part of your wholeness, before they can be transformed. You must accept and recognize these parts and emotions before you can recognize that they never really existed. You have always been One but you appear separate in this reality, and you must "reconstruct" yourself as the collective also does the same.

There are many names that are used to identify God, creation, this dream world, etc. Don't get caught up in a name to the extent that you are offended if another name is used, especially when we talk about God.
Names are only symbols that are at least once removed from Truth. If there is a name for God that works for you to bring you closer in your remembrance, then that is great. But there are different names and symbols that work for different people.
If you are offended by terminology used by someone else, this is a limiting belief that you are using as a defense to keep yourself apart from God.

How you treat people is how you will be treated. What you put out there --- love or fear --- is what will come back to you.
This is not because there is some universal law or karma. What you put out there is what you believe you deserve, or you would not put it out there, because the inner becomes the outer.
So when you believe you deserve it, you create that and draw that back to you in your experiences and the people you encounter.

Joy is innate. If you are seeking something outside of yourself to be happy, this is not His joy.
For what you seek outside of yourself to become happy --- money, fame, looks, power, position, relationship, education, stimulants, thrills --- can as easily go away as they can be acquired. What a blessing that true joy cannot be so transient!
Anytime you seek outside of yourself for answers, for Him, for completion, you will never find it.

Jesus became the Christ, became Love, through his recognition that he was completely One with the Father.
The Father, as Love, is the trunk of the tree. Many branches have spread from the tree. As the branches return to the tree, they return through Love. As we return to the Father, we come through the Christ, who is Love.
The branches that are far from the tree may have gone in many directions, and they may not be healthy because they are so far from the trunk, but they are still connected to the tree. Remember, all that exists is this tree. All that exists is God.
But every branch, in order to come back to the trunk, must come back through Love.

The simple actions --- a smile, a thank you, looking someone in the eyes when they are talking --- the simple actions are recognized and recorded in Heaven as much as the large actions.
Anything done out of Love, not to be recognized by others for the action, but solely done for the joy it brings the giver, adds to creation and becomes part of eternity.

Guilt establishes a need for and confirms the false belief in time. Guilt cannot be established without a past or a future.
You feel guilty over something you have done in the past or something you anticipate doing in the future, even if it is in the next moment. Without guilt there exists only the present moment, the Now.

Have you ever considered why there are certain attributes or characteristics, certain personality "flaws" that really bother you in others? Then there are other people with "flaws" that don't bother you but are considered "bad" by other people?
Because everyone hates what they see in themselves, what they judge themselves for. Seeing them in someone else reminds you that you feel this way about yourself, and your anger at this other person for being lazy or being forgetful is your way of projecting your self judgment "away" from yourself.

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. It is an appreciation for all expressions of God.

You can't enter Heaven without your brother. You must be hand in hand, not one ahead of the other. Only by seeing your brother as equal can you see with eyes of wholeness and Oneness.

You can see fear in the world, or you can see the Love that lies behind all appearances as that is ALL that exists.
If you look to the world for answers, for your identity, really for anything, you will be fearful and the world will appear as an unstable, chaotic, and scary place. And that is a good thing! What is false should not be comforting to you so that you strongly desire to release belief in it and return to what is Real, to Him.
He has you. He is helping you to remember Him in each moment.

A cure is not something which offsets another thing within the illusion.
For instance, if you have cancer and you take chemo, "curing" the cancer, that is not really a cure. This is an illusory cure within the illusion itself.
A cure is when you are able to apply atonement to a situation, removing your guilt. Because when we feel guilty, we punish ourselves through sickness. The belief in separation leads to a belief in a "body" which is then punished for being separate.
By changing our mind, our understanding of our Oneness with God, we are able to truly cure.

There a lot of angry people in the world. You can not only hear it and see it, but you can feel it.
That anger comes from several potential sources, and it is important for you to identify why you are angry. But behind most almost all anger is fear.
Many --- actually a large majority -- are angry, are fearful, because their "perfect" world is being turned upside down. These are the people who see from a two hearted perspective. They blame someone or something --- a political party, a race, a boss, their spouse --- for creating the issue. It is always about coming from a victim mentality and blaming something or someone "outside" of themselves.
But we are One, and we are Co-creating with God. He/She has given us free will, and collectively we have created the world we see. So instead of blaming, instead of judgment which reinforces the illusion of separation versus the Truth of Unity, take responsibility and stop blaming others.
That person or group you hate so much and want to vilify is a part of you/God and is as holy as you are, for only Oneness exists. This does not mean you don't speak up in certain situations, but you do it from a space of Love and compassion, from forgiveness, knowing that ignorance of our divinity is what has created the world we live in.
This is the one hearted way. God is speaking to each of us, in constant communion, giving us experiences and relationships that will awaken us to our greater Self. Unfortunately, many are resisting and have chosen not to awaken, thus their anger serves no purpose except to divide and take us away from Truth.
But many are listening and awakening, yearning to return to a recognition and remembrance of their Love relationship with God --- for we are His Beloved. They are attempting to live in the one hearted way, and this takes great courage.
Living in the one hearted way means that you will often have anger arise, but this is a good thing as it brings awareness and signs pointing you to take certain actions or drop certain beliefs. To be in the world but not of it, to live as Jesus did --- and he said we would do greater things than him --- we must drop what is false. This means those beliefs about ourselves and God that are not true and do not serve us.
This is both an emotional and spiritual healing. Our healing happens in spirals and we often come back to the same issue many times until we have cleared out that belief. Each of us has been uniquely conditioned by our experiences. We each have a different story, thus our healing path is different, and God knows the best way and timing for each of us. We only need to trust in that.
As these beliefs come up to be released, we are fearful of that change and not being safe. And anger is what masks this fear. But joy and the peace that passes all understanding lies behind these beliefs. If you are awakening to your greater reality, you will also have anger that others are burying their head in the sand, turning their face from God, anger over a separation mentality where greed and money have become people's God, anger over the destruction of Mother Earth.
For what is done to another or done to a part of God, is done to you. Have compassion on yourself for your anger. It is a part of living in this reality. Don't run from it or suppress it or engage with it more than just being aware of it. And love it, for we must love all parts of ourselves, especially the parts we judge.
Someone asked Mother Teresa if she would go to an anti war rally, and she said no, but she would attend a peace rally. She understood that we cannot be against anything. Since it is all God, we must be FOR something.
Be for honoring of the Earth versus against the companies destroying it. Be for unity of government versus taking sides. For God is everything, even the greed and destruction and the evil --- nothing can be separate from God. Only by accepting all can we help others remember their Unity, which will then create the one hearted world of Unity that is our true reality.
When the beliefs that are behind the illusion fall away, Truth is revealed, because it was all that was there to start with.

Even in the midst of strong grief and pain, allow yourself to laugh.
Laughter comes from a knowing that it is not all as it seems, that it will be okay, even in the midst of tragedy. God's joy can be found in every circumstance, regardless of the difficulty.
His joy and peace are the tools you need to move through these difficult situations.

Have you ever noticed that when you are fully joyful, your whole attention is given to that? When you are in awe at the beauty of something, your whole attention is in that. At these times your mind is not preoccupied with worry or problems or doubt.
Which do you think is more real --- the times when your whole attention is given to joy or beauty, or the times when you are in worry or doubt?
Even if you experience the latter the vast majority of the time, this does not make it true. The way to lessen the grip of worry and doubt is to acknowledge, as it happens, that it is not true.

Comparison serves no purpose except to keep you feeling separate from God.
There will always be someone smarter than you, better looking than you, richer, more accomplished, more spiritual, younger than you.
But these are all appearances. When you compare, you place your faith in what is false.
In God, comparisons become meaningless, for we are One. Oneness means no differences --- there is nothing to compare. It is all God.
Is one love better than another love? There is just one Love, and you are a part of that Love.

There are many men, and some women, who are afraid of or resistant to crying. They do not want to be seen a vulnerable, as society says they should be strong, especially the men.
Strength comes from knowing who you are, and you cannot know this when you do not express your full range of emotions.
In the Kingdom there is only joy, but as we make our way to full recognition of the Kingdom, we exist in this dream world where it is important to grieve when a person or an animal you love dies. It is also important to grieve when you leave something where you have invested a lot of yourself, such as a relationship or a job.
When we grieve, we are not vulnerable, we are powerful. A man or a woman who does not let society dictate how they should feel and what they should express is authentic.
Authenticity means we are completely open, and when we are open, God can express through us. When we allow ourselves to grieve, we are alive.
If you stuff your grief or sadness, it doesn't go away. It is still in there, affecting every thing you do and clogging your vessel from God's Light, not allowing you to experience the joy of the Kingdom.

Perfection is where you are at, not where you want to be.
Everything is God — you, everyone else, everything in the Universe — so it’s all perfection, all holiness. It cannot be otherwise.
Perfection is a state of existence. It is All states. It’s not a form of existence.
Perfection doesn’t mean that you don’t strive to “improve” yourself. Improvement is a relative term that only exists in this reality. It doesn’t exist in Heaven, because nothing outside of Unity exists in Heaven. There is no contrast in Heaven.
But in this reality, we remember our divinity through contrast. We remember who and what we are by seeing what we are not. Thus there appears room for improvement — we can become more kind, more loving, more grateful.
These are things that we want to strive for. We don’t want to be wishing we were more intelligent, or beautiful, or athletic etc. Because we are perfect as we are. We came here with certain gifts or looks or intelligence for a reason. We don’t need to question these reasons. Each of us has gifts that are unique and can be a powerful contribution to awakening for us individually and for the world. That is why comparison is meaningless and reinforces illusion, not Unity.

Is God partial? Why does someone think that they can worship God on Sundays and worship the world the rest of the week? Does Truth have any exceptions? Can you live partially in Truth and partially in illusion? Can you be in partial Communion with Him? Can you Love Him only some of the time?
Of course you can't do any of those things because partiality does not exist, separation does not exist. There exists an appearance of partiality and separation, but appearances are not Truth. Live in Truth. Live in the reality that All is One. Live in the knowing, BE the knowing, that you cannot love God only part of the time, as He cannot love you only partially.
You can fool yourself into believing that you can love Him or be with Him only part of the time, or plenty of people fool themselves into believing that He does not exist, but you cannot change Truth. Let us thank God for that.
It would be a living hell if we could be separate from Him or if He would only love us part of the time. You move and have your being in Him, and He expresses through you. That means He is closer than your breath. Ponder that for a while and it will create fundamental changes in your life.

Do you not believe that you can walk the world as a God realized individual like Jesus, the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, etc? Jesus told us we would do greater things than he did. To be in the world but not of it is how we are ALL meant to walk the world.
You may think that you are not at the level of a God realized person, but this is a false belief --- it is your false beliefs that prevent you from recognizing the Truth of who you already are!
You identify with a "story" you think is you, but it is not who you truly are. It is similar to being a fox and thinking you are a bear. You attach to all of the emotions that arise in you, like anger or guilt because they are part of your story in which you believe so strongly.
Anger arises in God realized individuals but it quickly passes through them and is given no energy or attachment because these individuals know that the thoughts/judgments/perceptions/beliefs behind their story are not real. These are from a temporary body in a dream that does not exist, similar to a play you watch on the stage.
Don't identify with what is false, and you will be who you are.
