Of yourself you are nothing.

When you want something to happen, get out of the way and let Him take it. This doesn't mean that you are not the facilitator of making this happen --- if it is for you, you probably are God's hands. But it does mean that you are not trying to control the process or the timing and that you acknowledge that of yourself, you are nothing.

How Badly ..?

How badly do you want to see, to have real vision? How badly do you want to see the Truth behind all appearances?

For you can have this, but you can't have this and hold on to things of the world at the same time. You can enjoy the things of the world --- there is nothing "good" or "bad" with them --- but you can't look to them to fill a hole inside of you or use them to create your identity. Your identity comes from Him.

How badly do you want to know Him? You choose when you finally give up all that is false.

Heal The World ....

Heal the world one smile at a time. Heal the world one kind word at a time. Heal the world one kind gesture at a time. Heal the world, heal yourself, with great compassion and empathy for others.
As you heal the world, you heal yourself, for we are One. God is simple. Love is simple, for it is ALL that exists. We can't heal anything -- the world, ourselves, others -- through complicated means. It has to be simple. It has to be from an open heart. If we all were to do the small things, that would bring Heaven on Earth.

Look and see what you can do in the moment to create healing. Leave the big stuff up to God and focus, act on what you can control and do in every moment. It is in our power to Love every moment. And that is all that God asks of us.

This World of Duality

In Heaven there is knowing --- there are not choices, as Truth is self evident, and that Truth encompasses you.

In this dream world of duality, choices appear to exist, so we have belief, which creates and highlights differences. When belief is dropped and knowing becomes your reality, then you will see only Oneness.

What Is Real

Each of us sees the Kingdom of God to a different degree dependent on how strongly we apply our belief system to what we see.

For the stronger you believe that the experiences you have had and the roles/identities you have played are real, the more you will apply your beliefs and judgments to the appearance of the world, believing it is real and obscuring the Kingdom.

The more you understand that these experiences and roles are not really you, that they are something temporary you chose to help you remember, the more flexible your beliefs will become and the less judgment you will apply to what you see in the world.

When judgment disappears, the Kingdom of God shines forth.

Feel Deserving First

There are many people who have a hard time creating abundance in their life. Abundance encompasses many areas from financial, to career, to healthy relationships, to a Love relationship with God, etc.

For those people they have a subconscious (or they may be blessed if it has risen to awareness) set of beliefs ranging from they are not deserving to an extreme set of beliefs where they have very low self worth (and everything in between). God cannot give you abundance if you do not feel you are deserving of it. And it doesn't work that He gives it to you and then you start to see you are deserving. You have to first feel deserving.

Also, recognize that you may also hold the flip side of believing you are not deserving. You may believe that God is punishing you and intentionally withholding abundance.

The only way to create new patterns in your life is to explore and clear false beliefs you hold. There may be some distress in doing so, but joy, peace, and God are at the other end of this process. And do you really have a choice if your life is not working now?

Love -- Action And Non Action

Love can be exhibited in an infinite number of forms. It can come through an action, or a non action. 

Certainly we understand that saying a kind word or telling someone you love them is a way of expressing Love, so this is an action. But a non action can be as or more powerful. Let's say you have always reacted out of fear, anger, and blame when you discuss a particular subject with your spouse. But the next time you discuss the subject you don't come from this space, or you hold back with blame, then you have created Love through your non action. It was your intention that created this. 

Our actions speak much louder than our words and truly show our growth, so not taking action or not saying a certain thing is a major affirmation that you have evolved to a much higher level of understanding and compassion.

Opinion Is Not Truth

When a certain religion or group says God is this or God is that, it is opinion, and Truth is not open to opinion. It is self evident.

The opinion is not any closer to Truth because a large number of people believe it. There are individual dreams we are living in, and there are also collective dreams.

Living "Outside" Ourselves

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.

We live "outside" ourselves, outside our 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 express or have 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.

Differences Are An Appearance

Instead of looking at what our differences are and what separates us, let's look at what unites us. And I tell you that when you do that, what you previously saw as differences disappears, for it was never there to start with.

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.

You Have ...

You already have all the joy, peace, abundance, and love you can ever need or want, because this is your inheritance from God. You just have to drop what is false to uncover what is there.

True Power

True power comes from being part of the whole. This is not power of the ego that is false. Knowing your true power through God and Unity brings you complete safety.

How You See It

You know that event or experience with that other person that you wish you could go back and change more than anything? What if you knew that this person, that adult or that child, had come to you to be the vehicle for that experience to happen? What if you knew that you had preplanned the experience with that person? 

Would that change how you look at that experience?

Why Does God Allow Suffering?

The first thing we have to review is that in this reality, there are no black and white answers. Everything blends to grey as we exist in a paradox, and in the paradox you can hold two seemingly opposite perspectives simultaneously. Doing so enables you to be in the stream of infinite possibilities and outcomes that is God. 

So why does God allow suffering? God does not "allow" suffering. He "allows" free Will. We have been given free Will to choose what we want individually and collectively. 

For those who are here on this Earth at this time, we have chosen collectively to go down a path that mirrors a belief in separation, not one that mirrors Unity. Certainly, many have individually chosen a Unity and heart centered path, but collectively, we can see by the appearance of the world, that many have not chosen a heart centered path --- ego centered greed, blame, evil, denial of our divinity, denial that we are all connected. 

"Suffering" (in quotes because recognize that everyone has a different definition of what constitutes suffering) is the natural outcome of a world that doesn't recognize Unity, doesn't recognize that we are all in this together and that we are all part of God. Suffering is the outcome you expect when egos, not Spirit, make decisions, and some think that they are better or more deserving than others.

No one is more deserving than another, and we each have responsibility to express God --- His compassion and Love -- in this reality. Now, having said all of the above, we must recognize that this is not the only Truth (the grey). Some people may have come into this life falsely believing that they are deserving of punishment, thus they have chosen "roles" where they will experience suffering. Or others may have taken actions in this life where they feel very guilty, and then in their experiences they create suffering of some type as punishment or karma. These are false beliefs because there is not a counter balancing required of "negative" actions or thoughts. 

What God asks of us is that we recognize our errors and learn from them and that we have great compassion on ourselves and those we have hurt. There are also those circumstances which someone might define as suffering where God is trying to awaken someone to their greater reality. This is what they have asked for at a Spirit level, and they are not taking the cues. So He moves from a gentle nudge to hitting them over the head with a big stick, not because He is punishing them, but out of Love. 

We all have different definitions of what is "good" and "bad" according to our belief systems. God is experiencing Himself through each of us and all Creation, and each of those experiences is as holy as another, even if it appears to be very hard on that individual that is experiencing adverse life circumstances. Again, we must blend into the grey of everything. God does not want us to "suffer". He wants us to live in the greatest of peace, joy, and Love.

This is why we were created out of Love.

God's Joy

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.

Unconditional

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.

Through Love

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.

At War With Yourself

When you want misfortune or something bad to happen to people, even if it is as "mild" as being glad that others are stuck in a traffic jam on the other side of the highway, you are at war with yourself.

This has nothing to do with the other person. How you feel about them individually or how you feel about a group of people is a reflection of how you feel about yourself, and when you want to punish them, you want to punish yourself.

Communion

When you do not communicate with God, He is lonely, for you were created as the Beloved for this holy communion with Him. This is all that can give you joy.

Hints

God gives us hints from an infinite number of sources. He communicates with you through people, animals, dreams, the way the moon passes through the clouds, the awe of the Grand Canyon. There are an infinite number of sources, and He is in constant communion with you, because He is All, and you are an integral part of that Allness. 

When we do not follow these hints, He gives us "stronger" hints to try and get our attention. After all, this plan is what you decided that you wanted during this experience. Eventually, if we don't follow His hints and we don't allow the River of Life to take us where He and you have chosen to go, we hit our heads hard on the rocks in the River. This can manifest as severe illnesses, disasters, or tragedies.

But it doesn't have to be this way. If we follow the hints when they are first given, we make that slight change in the River, avoiding the rocks and allowing us to be carried effortlessly on the current.

Gratitude Opens Heaven

We have much to be grateful for.

If you are struggling with being grateful. find one thing for which you are grateful, and that will open the gates of Heaven for you.

Can you be partially grateful? Can you be partially pregnant? You are either grateful or you are not. If you find one small thing, then you are fully grateful.

Everyone has the same thing for which we can be grateful. Even if we have a body that is decrepit, or a disease which is killing us, we have a consciousness that is eternal and which will live on, even when the body "dies." Each of us has this consciousness, because there is only one Mind. This is the Mind through which we commune with God.

Regardless of the state of our body, regardless of the outer circumstances of our life, we can be in and we can be grateful for the holy communion we have with Him.

Do You Want To Punish?

God Looks Past

God does not see you the way you see yourself. He does not see the "sins" you see in yourself. He looks past.

That is what Love does --- it looks past to what is Real, to what is eternal. The sins you see in yourself are temporary. They change over time based on how you feel about yourself at that time. They change as your belief system changes.

Nothing so variable can be of God. He is changeless, eternal, and holy, and as His beloved Son or Daughter, you are the same.

Karma

It is only your belief in karma that creates a situation, which is setup by the power of your belief, where you apparently have to balance a certain act with another act. Withdraw the belief in karma and the need to counterbalance goes away.

Karma is not universal law. It is your belief in separation which creates your belief in karma.

One Body

We are each cells in the body of God, just as you have cells in your body. Each cell has a unique function, and together they create the whole.

You are holy and unique, an inseparable part of the Divine.

True Forgiveness

When you have truly forgiven someone, when you have given it to God and you have moved past it, you no longer think about it at all. 

If it was some sort of disagreement or argument with someone close to you, and you cannot even remember the basis for the argument, that is a great sign you have put it behind you.

The Purpose of Everything

Everything shares a purpose with you, from the "living" to the inanimate. 

If you were to look at something and you had no history with it, no past, no preconceived ideas of what it was or what it was for, what would happen? You would see it for what it really is, the purpose each part of God shares --- to help Itself awaken.
