Daily Light: July 2019
Be a warrior, not a victim.
When someone acts like a victim, that is the most powerless thing they can do. They believe that this is powerful, because they believe that this will bring them attention and pity. But that is a very sad way to live life.
Power comes from knowing who you are --- One with God and all that is. This is where your safety lies, where all of your "problems" are seen in a different light, where you have no fear. For we are not of this world. We are in it, but not of it.
When you recognize this, you can be who you came here to be. You can use the gifts God gave you to help the world. You play a role, but that is not your identity. You are Divine and holy, created by God as an extension of Himself, Herself, and this is where all power comes from.
When you don't recognize your true identity, you will always feel inadequate, feel fear, feel like someone or something is trying to get you. Everything of this world will pass away as it is only here as a vehicle to help us learn, awaken, and remember.
If you try to make your identity in something that is false, you will always be existing on a foundation of shifting sand, and this is very unstable. Your foundation is God, which is eternal, changeless, and provides complete stability. Don't give your power, the power given to you as part of the Kingdom, away to others, groups, governments, etc. Be a warrior, not a victim.
A warrior understands their power and uses it wisely to benefit the whole. A warrior takes responsibility for their thoughts and actions as it relates to being part of the whole, how we all impact each other. A warrior is gentle and compassionate. They have no need to demean another person or boast about their accomplishments for they know who they are, that they already have everything in them they will ever need to be complete and whole.

There is a collective belief held by most people outside of indigenous societies that we must suffer or be punished to be redeemed by God. The message of Easter weekend is that someone or something has to be sacrificed and suffer in order for our "sins" to be removed from us and in order for us to be back in God's good graces.
But we can't fall out of Grace. We never left it. We can believe in the concept of sin, but that doesn't alter the Truth that we are One with God and that if we are sin, He must be as well.
God has only good and Love for you. You do not have to "earn" it, because it is your birthright. No parts of the One need to be sacrificed or suffer. This is a pagan concept left over from days of old when Unity and God's unconditional Love was not understood.
Sin is only error, not something permanent. God ask us only to see our errors and do it different the next time. It is time for us to drop these false beliefs and return in our remembrance and recognition to who we really are.

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. By thinking of a past event differently, we truly change
it.

Is there an emotional pattern you keep repeating within yourself or your relationships that you want to stop? Once you have recognized that this pattern is unhealthy and is limiting you, you must first DESIRE that this be removed at all cost.
Some people have to suffer the consequences and distress of this pattern many times, basically hitting rock bottom, while others can recognize it early on --- you don't have to suffer --- it is your resistance to releasing it which creates suffering.
Once you desire releasing it above all else, you GIVE it to God and ASK for His help. It is critical that when we want to release something, we acknowledge that of ourselves we are nothing. God does the heavy lifting.
But the next step is where many retreat, as we must be WILLING to follow whatever path God shows us to release this pattern. Sometimes it may be as easy as He takes it. But often we have to release the false beliefs that held the pattern in place, and this often means experiencing grief, anger, etc. You can't clear the pattern without complete willingness.

You are not any different than the great spiritual masters. Only their awareness, the choices they make, separates them.
Each of us, even them, must choose the Light, choose forgiveness and compassion over resentment and bitterness, choose Love over hatred, choose God and Unity over the illusion of separation. We are given numerous opportunities to do this, especially in these times, and every time we choose the Light we move closer in our remembrance to God.

God comes to know Himself, to know Herself, through you. He does not judge nor condemn. Why would God want to punish Himself? He only wants joy, abundance, peace, and Love for you, because these are the gifts of the Kingdom.
Change your perspective .... Remember .... Change your life!

The discovery of your Self is the discovery of God. They are one and the same.
Just as you see a reflection of yourself in a mirror, you must see yourself in Life, how you interact in your relationships, how you react to your experiences. It is this introspection and observation which leads to Self awareness, which is awareness of Him. And this is a process, a journey, that never ends.

You can only truly forgive someone when you see them as yourself. For then they have not "hurt" you.

God cannot help you unless you ALLOW Him to help you. It is one thing to
ask for help, and it is another to follow through with accepting it. He
will give you hints as to the steps you need to take for emotional,
spiritual, physical, and mental healing, but it is up to you to take
those steps, as you have free Will. If you don't take the steps, it will
be obvious why your life is not what you want it to be.

If you think that you know, then you cannot understand. Only through acknowledgment that you cannot know comes the peace of God, and with it, understanding.

If you are having a particularly difficult time seeing God in a specific person or group, realize that you are resisting seeing God within yourself. That person or group is only acting as an angel, a mirror so that the resistance can be reflected back to you.

The angels will sing when you do even the smallest gesture of Love, just a smile or an encouraging word. This is as powerful as the miracles Jesus performed. The form is irrelevant. It is the intention, and intention of Love, which matters.

When we create out of Love, we create an extension of ourself, and this is also an extension of God, the Creator. All creations lead back to the One, just as all rays of light originate at the Sun.

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.

Only when you look at your fear and self judgment with great compassion can you then look at another person with the same compassion, not judging or condemning them for their actions or path. But you have to first acknowledge that you have self judgment and fear. You can't hide anything from God, and only by bringing it to the Light can you heal it.

What you don't realize is that your Will is the same as what God's Will is for you. This is the only way that you can have true joy, not the false joy that comes from this world.
It appears that we can have a will that is separate from God's Will as we can take actions or have thoughts that are incompatible with what He wants for us. But do we even know what He wants for us? Can we even separate the "I" from the "Him" when only Unity exists?
We BELIEVE we can have a separate will, and each of us has a completely different idea as to what that separate will would be, but belief does not make for reality. How can we have a separate will when only Unity exists, only God exists?
We live in a reality that has the appearance of duality, but only Unity exists. So by operating in this world of duality, maybe we are learning through contrast, that we are truly One and that His Will is all that exists. Our "separate or ego self" only exists by the power of the belief we give it. Certainly, we need some type of ego or personality self to operate in this world, but it does not need to drive the boat as it does for a vast majority. It is a very small piece of who you are.
When you come to this realization, you begin to ask what truly makes you happy. And the answer .... drum roll please .... is so simple and powerful that it brings you to tears of gratitude. Each of us only wants to do His Will. Only by being a completely clear vessel through which He expresses can we fulfill our individual evolution, fulfill our role in this reality, and be a Co-creator with God, which is what He created us out of Love to do.
How do we get to this place? We have to let go of what is false, leaving only what is Real. We have to release all false beliefs, release everything that is not of God. We have to be willing to witness anything and everything in ourselves, including our fears, motives, defenses, guilt, shame, self judgment --- everything. Look behind every corner and shadow in yourself.
Again, why do we want to do this? Because it brings us JOY AND THE PEACE OF GOD. This is very much a process of self interest. I can guarantee you that you are very tired being something you are not. You play roles here, but you are not meant to identify AS those roles anymore than an actor on a stage thinks they are truly that role.
When you move into this expanded consciousness, you realize that you don't have to figure out what God's Will is. You just live it. You just are it. You move effortlessly with wherever the River of Life takes you, enjoying the scenery and paying attention to what God prompts you to do. What a beautiful way to go through Life.

Nothing is required of you to be who you are. You are a son/daughter of God, holy
and sinless. The self image you have created, the one who has all these
faults, all of these sins, is only an outer covering or appearance that
you have created and which can be discarded anytime you choose.
Why do
you not choose to do so? Are you afraid of your glory?
Lawrence Doochin
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.

Why do we not allow God to lead us? Our lives would flow with the
greatest of ease and grace if we were to get out of the way and truly
listen to where He wants to take us in each moment.
But we are stubborn,
fearful, non trusting --- we think we can do it ourselves and that we
know what is best for us. How can we know what is best for us when our
perspective is only that of a tree in the forest, not the whole forest
itself?
We make it difficult on ourselves to the extent that we think we
can do it by ourselves. But of ourselves, we are nothing. No thing! He
gives you Life. He gives you your very existence. And He does this SO
THAT He can love you.
You were created to be loved. Have you really
pondered this? If we will just allow Him to lead, He will take us on a
journey of Love and joy that is far beyond anything we can imagine.
Lawrence Doochin
You ask God what you should do for all of your major decisions. Why
would you not do the same for your minor ones? Do you not want to bother
Him? Do you think you can handle the small ones by yourself?
At what
point do they become large enough where you ask Him? If you keep some
decisions for yourself, even minor ones, you are saying that you know
what is best for you in every experience, every moment. And you don't.
Lawrence Doochin
Here is the crux of the issue. God is either separate from you or not.
There can be no partiality. You are One with Him and He is present and
expressing through you without exception, or He is separate from you,
maybe loving you and bestowing His goodness and favors on you when you
turn to Him or act "good."
There cannot be a scenario where sometimes
you are One with Him and you move and have your Being in Him and
sometimes you don't. But this is what the vast majority of people
believe to be the case. God is One. What are the implications of this
totality, this non randomness, this non partiality, for you?
Lawrence Doochin
Could have, would have, and should have are not the words used by someone who sees with vision.
When we see and live in Unity, we know that all is as it should be. We
have no regrets as everything that has happened to us has brought us to
this holy moment. There are some things in our past that if we had the
opportunity to do over, we might do them differently, but these are not
regrets, This is awareness and gratitude that we are learning so we can
be more authenti c, reflect more of our Divine nature, now.
Also, we can have compassion on ourselves because we know that we may
have had to go through those experiences in the way we did to learn what
we needed to learn -- we could not have learned it another way. It is
not what has happened in the past. It is what you do with it now, how
you apply it, how you use it to be a more loving and kind person, that
is important.
Although guilt can initially show us that we did
not take the best path, don't stay in guilt because guilt is not of God.
God has you --- He has you in his Heart, and all is as it should be if
you only trust that He has your highest good and will show you the way.

God wants to give us everything, except the lottery.
God wants what we want. We were created out of Love so that He/She could know Himself/Herself. For when God is Love, ALL that exists, there needs to be an object of that Love and we are His Beloved. So God expresses through us, and as we experience, He experiences.
No experience is better or worse than another, regardless of the colored lens of beliefs and judgments that each of us applies to what happens to us. All experiences are all holy, all perfect, as this reality is just a learning field for experience and awakening. So we decide as Spirit what we want to experience to come to a greater knowing of our Self, and then God puts this into motion by bringing those vehicle --- people and experiences to us.
What we desires at a Spirit level is far different than what we THINK we want. At a Spirit level, we desire those experiences which will help us become more aware of our divinity, our Unity, that we are Co-creators with God, that we are Love.
At an ego level most people just want more of something --- more money, more power, a better body, a better job, a better relationship, etc. The ego is never satisfied and lives in constant judgment of itself and others. It does not comprehend Unity and only sees separation. It does not comprehend what is happening at a level of Spirit.
So most people would say they want to win the lottery. What they really want is to experience themselves as Love, to have the fruits of the Kingdom including His joy and the peace that passes all understanding. But they are so far off from recognition of their divinity, they cannot get in touch with their true desires.
Nothing happens by coincidence. God gives us what we need. For most people that means they don't win the lottery, because if they did, they would never have to face the fact that their identity is tied to money (or looks, education, etc). Money is only energy and is a part of God like everything else. It is not money that is the issue --- it is the love of money over God. Your identity is in God, not anything else.
Some people do win the lottery. It is likely that they win it because they are so obsessed with having money --- they think that this will "complete" them, that they are given what they want SO they can see that this is not what they wanted. How many times have you heard of people winning the lottery and saying that it messed their life up in so many ways?
God teaches us, shows us, through whatever means we need to understand. He is Love, so He is not trying to make it hard on us. But we make it hard on ourselves when we don't pay attention to the signs and we continue doing the same thing --- the definition of insanity is continuing to the same thing and expecting a different result.
Because we have asked to awaken and we are not listening to the more subtle hints, sometimes God has to up the ante and hit us with a big 2 x 4. Again, Love is all that exists, and what happens to us is not meant as punishment but as a splash of cold water to help us come to our senses.

Kindness and compassion require no interpretation. You don't have to think about them or understand them to offer them. If you achieve nothing else in this world but you exude great kindness and compassion for all beings, then you have reached Heaven and achieved what you came here to do.
