Daily Light: December 2019
What does it mean to be a Christian? It does not mean to be one in name only. This is worshiping a false god.
If you put your focus on anything but God -- like your wealth, your career, your reputation, really anything of this world -- then you are not a Christian. If you think it is okay to stay (for we all go there sometimes) in judgment of yourself, of others, of groups, of nations, etc, then you are not truly understanding and practicing what Jesus came here to show us. For when he said judge not lest you be judged, he was referring to the reality that we are One. As we judge, we judge ourselves. What you do unto the least of my brothers, you do unto me. Another profound statement of our Unity.
Jesus spoke this as the Christ, not as the personality who was in this world 2000 years ago. He is making these statements to aid you in the awakening of the Christ within you, for there is only one Christ, of which we are all a part. Mother Teresa worked amongst the poorest of the poor because she understood what you do unto the least of my brothers perfectly. She said that she was administering to the Christ in each person, and this helped her to remember the Christ within her. Although her nuns operated and still operate in the most horrific of conditions, they live in the greatest joy for they have given themselves over to God and the Christ within. They realize that nothing of this world can compare.
Stop the endless chase of going from one thing to the next in trying to find your salvation in the world. You will never find it. You will be continually disappointed, and at some point, you have to stop fooling yourself in thinking that it will be the next thing that will provide it. If I only had more money, if I only had a soulmate, if I only had the respect of others, if I could only stay young. This is like the gerbil spinning endlessly on his wheel and going nowhere.
This doesn't mean that you don't enjoy the things of the world or that you don't have a special partner in your life, because most people are not meant to live a life like Mother Teresa. We are given certain gifts that will enable us to be a Light unto others, but we must first recognize and be a Light unto ourselves. And we must recognize what is truly Real and what is false.
Only the Real can give you peace. Only the Real can give you joy. Only the Real can give you the Love that you strive for, that Beloved relationship with your Creator.

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.
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.

Picture a jar of clear water with a layer of mud at the bottom. This is what you look like before you start your healing journey back to God.
It appears on the surface that everything is clean and okay, but there is that deep layer of muck. What happens on the journey is you become like a blender, and all of the water becomes muddy. This unhealthy water is the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing that goes on. You cannot stay in this state, just like you cannot drink polluted water for too long.
Love is the filter. Love filters out all of the muck, all of the impurities, leaving a jar that only has clean water in it. Then you have become a clear vessel through which Love can act.

Do you realize your mind is constantly at war with itself?
It is always arguing, judging, telling you what you should or shouldn't do, always separating things into good and bad. Do you realize this is insanity?
This is the type of argument that goes on in your head --- should we drive a Ford or Chevy across the lake (there is no bridge and the car cannot magically convert into a boat). You are debating and making choices that have no meaning whatsoever. And we have "created" a whole world with no meaning, because what is going on in our heads, the meaningless thoughts, get projected out and create the world we see.
So we think that the role we play and the events that happen in this dream are real, and this obscures us from seeing what is really Real.

If your thoughts are not consistent with your actions, the effects of your actions will be greatly reduced or eliminated, and you will have internal distress from this inconsistency. For instance, if you are kind to someone but you actually harbor ill will to them and judge them, not only are you not being authentic, but your kindness is totally negated.

You are not given abundance, which includes financial wealth, for you to
hoard. You are given abundance for you to continually bless others,
knowing that your supply is endless.
Lawrence Doochin
In every moment you make a choice. You can choose anger, conflict, and the need to be right, which comes from your ego, or you can choose that you don't want any of those, which is the choice from your true Self.
As we awaken to our divinity, we recognize this choice in every situation we encounter, regardless of how "minor" it is. That is what makes it so hard and holy the same time. It is hard because we have to constantly pay attention, be diligent to stay on the right track. It is holy because we are literally remaking ourselves in God as we make the choice for Unity and Love and living from our heart.
Each choice is an opportunity to help us remember and recognize who we are and what is important to us. And each choice is an opportunity to have compassion on ourselves and others, because we will fall off the track at times.

There is a beautiful ebb and flow to life.
As God expresses through Creation, there is a push "forward", a rest, a pull "backwards", and another rest before the push forward begins again. Nothing moves in a straight line forward --- thus there really is no "forward" and "backward".,
And the rest periods, the pauses, are as important as the movement. This is the Stillness that underlies All. This holy movement or flow is reproduced in so many things. Think of the in breath, followed by a very brief stop, then the out breath. Think of the tide. The tide moves forward, briefly pauses, and then moves backward before pausing and moving forward again.
But the tide, although appearing to retreat, is actually moving farther inland with every new wave. Similarly, Creation is constantly evolving, expanding, moving forward, but with this in and out flow. This movement is your natural rhythm, how your life force wants to be in this world. Anything you do, like a business or some type of project or creation, even how you exercise or eat, needs to have this flow in order to be successful.
What appears like retreats is simply the building of energy for the next wave to push farther forward, for Creation to unfold in greater holiness. And the rest periods, the pauses, are times when you can consolidate the energy and be grateful for what has been accomplished.
Gratitude is critical for anything you want to be successful. And patience. When you are certain of the outcome, when you know that God has your highest good and you are doing His Will, then you can afford to be patient because you know that the outcome is certain.

Is everything that happens to you random and out of your control? Or is it not random? Can it be partially random, partially in your control and partially out? That would be scary --- how could you trust or know any consistency in what happens to you?
There can be no partiality in this. Everything is either completely random, or everything that happens to you is created by you and God at a very deep level below your conscious mind.
Rejoice that everything is not random, as this would place the power outside of you. You have the power to create what you want to happen. As you move and have your being in God, He "assists" you to achieve what you have asked for.

You do not have to go looking for Love. You have it! It is you! Your task is simply to release everything that covers up your recognition of this.
What do you believe about yourself and God that is false? Likely a lot.

That person you dislike, that you think is stupid, or goofy, or arrogant --- that person you are judging --- is a part of you, because we are One.
You can stay in the safety of your judgment, or you can give it to God, which will allow you to feel His Love, peace, and joy.

Because individually and collectively we see through eyes of separation instead of Unity, we falsely believe that redemption in this world comes through punishment. Someone is guilty and they are punished and that is how they are redeemed.
This goes hand in hand with the false belief that God is a punishing and judgmental God. But that is not how the Kingdom of God operates. God operates with forgiveness.
In God's Kingdom there is no guilt --- we are ones that create the guilt. In the Kingdom and error is committed, not a sin. This is redeemed through an awareness by the perpetrator that they have committed something they needed to do differently.
Awareness and wanting to make changes is the key, and as that person makes the awareness, they heal not only themselves but the world. This is the same awareness that brings us back to a recognition that we never left God.

God's Love for you is much greater than you can comprehend, much greater than you can imagine, and far beyond the ability of these or any words to describe.
It is the answer to ALL of your questions, all of your problems. When you reside in that Love, you need nothing else.
Do you realize that you were created to be the object of that Love? How wonderful is that!

God cannot help you unless you ALLOW Him to help you.
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.

Fear is not possible. It is only an appearance -- a strong appearance, but only an appearance that is upheld through our beliefs.
If you believe it is possible, you can make it appear real, but this will produce more fear, because you are trying to be something you are not. When you withdraw the belief in fear, you recognize your Self as God created you.

Why do so many hate their body? Why do people have plastic surgery or do all kinds of things to make themselves look better?
Because they believe they are separate and not good enough as is. They believe they are an ego in a body and that is their only reality.
Our body is the temple of God. Every cell flows with his Being.

Joy is your natural state. If you are not feeling it, do not judge yourself, but rather recognize what it is that is blocking you from your intrinsic joy --- your false belief system.
Joy is part of our inheritance from God and when it is blocked, we are usually blocking His Presence as well.

How do you know when a past traumatic event or experience is no longer affecting you? When you feel no emotion around it, positive or negative. It becomes something in your history, just like the school you went to.
Our experiences serve as vehicles for our growth and awakening. They are not our identity, like if we were abused. We heal from it and let it go and it no longer defines us.

Do you choose the toys and trinkets of the world or do you choose God?
For there cannot be a middle ground. You cannot straddle two worlds. You can enjoy the toys and trinkets of the world, but you cannot make them your god.
Choose wisely as this is an important time in the evolution of you and the world.

Your learning, your beliefs, have come from your parents, your teachers, religion, and society, all sources except you. What if you had not been taught anything? What if you were just open to learning through experience, from you experiencing your Self?

If you always have a cause which you feel strongly about and about which you always have to be talking and convincing others, you are delaying your path. Jesus said you need to be like a little child to enter Heaven. Have you ever seen a little child that has a cause (other than having fun)?

Let's start a new acronym called I.Y.O.M. --- In Your Own Mind.
You are a failure in your own mind. You are not a lovable person or capable of loving in your own mind. You are sinful in your own mind. You can't get anything right in your own mind. You are separate from God and He is angry with you in your own mind.

You are not the role you play in this dream. You are not the high powered businessman, not the forgotten grandmother, not the abandoned wife, not the victim.
Your identity is in God, not your role. Play your role to the best of your ability WHILE knowing it is only a role to help you remember your divinity.
