When you are having a lot of worry about a certain situation, or you are experiencing a lot of antagonism with another person, soften the edges around those experiences.
For instance, if there is someone you have to deal with and you are having a hard time getting along, in your mind see yourself and that person standing near each other. Instead of well defined and separate bodies, blur the edges. If you can blend the edges, that is even better.
For a situation that is worrying you or even causing you anger, see yourself having that reaction. Watch yourself as you do, and then soften the edges around that reaction. When we soften the edges, we are seeing more in grey than black and white. This allows more of God guidance to enter. It allows you to see the situation or the person in a little different light, and then this can act as the catalyst for a larger change in how you see it. The larger change will bring you the peace you want around this person or situation.

Have you ever had that feeling of longing like you want to be included or that you are missing out on something fun or interesting when you hear about other people's lives or experiences?
This is normal. Everyone experiences it to some degree, whether they recognize it or not. This is your longing for Unity. It appears that we are all separate bodies having separate experiences, but this is impossible. Because we are One, we do "share" in all experiences.

When Jesus commanded us to be perfect as our Father in heaven, we learned something important. We can reach perfection. In fact, how can we not be perfect when we were created by God, who is perfect? But what is perfection? How loving do you have to be? How smart, how spiritual? If you get fifty people in a room, you will have fifty versions of what is considered perfection. Since there is no universal definition of perfection, maybe perfection is just where you are at. We just have to recognize it. Everything in this world is an appearance. But behind all appearances is God, is perfection. As we strive to do things "better" (be more loving, etc), we must also recognize the perfection of where we are at. Therein lies the paradox.

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.

Respect for others is the foundation of Love. If you can't have respect when you deal with others, you can't begin to see the Oneness, and without the Oneness, you can't see the Love.
It is very important during this crisis that we respect other people's choices and we have compassion on them, even if we don't agree with their choices. We must keep an open heart so that we don't fall into fear, because if we fall into fear, we will energetically align with others in fear and it is hard to get out of that rut. So stay in love for yourself and others and witness what is happening without attaching to it.

When you are feeling down, or angry, or sad, smile at every person you meet. This will totally change the complexion of what you are feeling.
We often miss the most simple things available to us that we can do to change our life, like smiling or being grateful. If we went through life smiling at every person and bringing our attention to gratitude, our life would be a miracle. Our life is a miracle, but we don't recognize it and the simple acts help us do that.

When you feel sad, you are not separate from God. When you feel guilty, you are not separate. When you feel angry, you are not separate. When you feel shame, you are not separate. When you feel fear, you are not separate. When you worry, you are not separate.
What is the first thing we want to do when we feel something "bad" like guilt --- try to get away from it. What do most of us do for feeling it --- judge ourselves. But when we try to get away from it, which we really can't do, we are judging it and against it, and this means that we are against God, for God is ALL.
We have introduced a belief in separation. And this makes us feel worse, for a belief in separation leads to self judgment and fear, which worsens what we were originally feeling. God is with you through all. So when you feel fear or guilt or shame, etc, He is there and experiences it with and through you. By recognizing this, it transforms that "negative" through holiness and Light. So only be staying present with it, by not trying to run from it, and recognizing that He is there in it, can you "get away from it."

Most people are in a lot of fear right now, and they deal with it in very different ways.
For instance I am a doer and I want to take whatever action I can and as quickly as I can, so with the coronavirus I have wanted to make sure my loved ones are safe, we have adequate supplies in the event it worsens, etc. This makes me feel safe. While I am grateful for having a logical mind and being action based in these situations, the fear takes me out of my heart space which is not good and leads me to be impatient and non compassionate on what I say. So I have had to cultivate staying in my heart even when I am in fear.
My wife is the opposite as she went into denial about the virus and was almost resisting me on the actions I wanted to take. Denial is what a lot of people go into until it is too late, and then it becomes panic. Denial can include something like oh it will only last a week. We minimize things because it appears to quell our fear but this doesn't help us in what we need to do in a worldly sense in terms of being prepared.
We have to plan for the worst and envision/manifest the best scenario, which is a tricky place to be, but it is one that shows if we are a energetic and spiritual master. Can we place our fear to the side and make rational and logic based decisions while knowing we have done all we can do and it is in now in God's hands? When we can do that, then we can see where our fear is coming from, because it is not the virus as that is only an external trigger to point us to something inside that needs healing. Fear is a belief, and like other beliefs that are false, we only need to shine the light of Truth on it. So these crises like we are going through now really test us and bring out the best or the worst of both our humanness and our divinity. What a beautiful interplay and opportunity to grow in our general awareness and our relationship with God.

Atonement is not the correction of an immutable sin. It is the correction and healing of a misperceiving mind that believes in separation and sees sin as real. At-one-ment is wholeness. An at One Mind is the Mind of God, from which all thought originates, and of which we are all a part.

Deja vu is the remembrance of what you have already thought. Nothing is outside the present moment, but since we are in a dream of separation, it appears that we are taking a journey back to God, although we have never left Him.
Since thought is all that exists, we have already dreamed our journey, and we are "living" that dream. Deja vu is the momentary remembrance of a place or experience that we have already created in our thought.

Guilt serves no purpose except to keep you in a separated mind where no joy is present. Guilt always relates to something in the past, so you never reach the joy of the present moment. If you feel guilty, simply use that as a recognition that you want to do it different the next time, and then let the guilt go.

If you can live by one mantra, maybe it should be "do no harm." Or we can similarly state, love as God loves.
If we really attempt to live like this, what does this mean? It means that we pay constant attention. We can be very careful with our words and actions, ask each time before we speak or act, how will this be perceived? Do I really want to do or say this?
We can also monitor our thoughts --- we can't stop the thoughts that pass through our head, but we can choose to not give "harming" or judgment or grievance thoughts any energy. We can choose not to attach to these thoughts and they will pass out as they came in without the trail of destructive thoughts that follow the first thought. Even the Dalai Lama says he has thoughts of harm and anger, but he doesn't judge himself for them and he doesn't attach to them.

As we return to Him, we will have those times when our thoughts are not consistent with Love. Know that these are actually times of great growth as what doesn't serve us is brought to the surface to be released.
Remember, you cannot have a mountaintop without the corresponding valley. So do not judge yourself for these thoughts arising. If we condemn ourselves for these thoughts, it leads to a negative downward spiral of additional thoughts that only delay our progress.

Jesus was killed, because this who crucified him believed that by destroying his body, they were destroying the repository of their sin, as they had projected their perceived sins on to him. When you see sin in yourself, you identify with a body and separation, not the Mind you truly are. The body is neutral.

Many people have experienced horrible trauma in their life with sexual or physical abuse, betrayal, neglect by parents, loss of house, chronic disease conditions, etc.
You may have been victimized but you choose whether you stay a victim. It is normal to fall in the victim mode temporarily, especially if what happened to you was during childhood when you had no control.
But we are Cocreators with God. When you choose to continue seeing yourself as a victim, you are cutting your Self off from Source and your divinity. It is powerlessness. Taking your power back from what happened to you and not allowing it to define you is the power that fueled our Creation and aligns with who you really are.

All dreams are dreams of separation, fear, and death, even if they are "clothed" in apparent pleasure. If you are confused over whether you are in the dream, ask yourself if you would choose it over the peace of God.

You can only transform something you don't like, something you judge yourself for, like a thought or a feeling, by fully accepting that it is a part of you NOW. That does not mean it will be a part in the next moment, but you cannot transform anything by pushing it off, trying to run from it, or pretending it is not there.
How do you accept it? While you have these thoughts or feelings that you don't like, feel His Presence. When we do that, we acknowledge our unity and wholeness. When you try to push something off, which is impossible, you are believing that you are not whole.
Anytime you self judge, you believe that you are not whole and that you are separate from God. Bringing God in transforms that which you don't like, because it helps you see from unity instead of self judgment and separation.

When we do something or speak to someone in a way that we regret, we have made a mistake or an error, not a sin. If we judge ourselves over the incident, we are seeing it as a sin, not something we want to do different next time.

You are the author, director, producer, and creator of what happens to you. That is the free will and cocreative power given to you by God.
Many people will say that they did not choose a certain experience to happen to them. Of course, these experiences are always "bad," and therein lies the problem. Everything is viewed through a lens of good and bad instead of the God perspective that we are eternal and we have come here to remember our Oneness and Love relationship with Him through our experiences, "good" or "bad."
Everyone around us, from our loved ones to those with whom we have minor encounters, has come into our life through our request to help us remember, and we serve the same for them. We each help the other to remember that we exist in a dream of separation and we need only to awaken from the dream.
As Jesus showed, no one can truly "die," nor can we ever be separate from any other part of the One. This doesn't mean that we don't get angry or hurt when someone betrays us or we don't grieve when someone close to us dies. This is our humanity. But we also see these experiences as gifts and blessings for what that person gave to us to help us better see ourself, for the Love they gave us while in a body on earth, etc.
This carrying of a higher perspective and the allowing of these experiences to awaken us is the marrying of our divinity with our humanness, a very holy union that produces a truly

You are an example. You are a teacher, a demonstrator. You demonstrate and teach what you believe. Not only are you an obvious example to someone like your children, you are an example to yourself. You reinforce what you believe through your demonstration.
You demonstrate judgment or Unity. You demonstrate Love or illusion. You demonstrate Heaven or hell. If you want to change your life, change what you believe, and you first do this through what you demonstrate and the example you set --- to others, for others, and especially for yourself.
Each of us is a teacher to ourselves and others. If you can't yet believe it, fake it, in all of your interactions and words. You are not really faking it --- you are just finding what was always there but hidden. You are watering a seed that has been dormant for a long time.

There are 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.

When you turn all decisions over to God, there can be no guilt in any decision, because He is making the decision for you. And when guilt is not present, neither can fear be.
Turning your will over to God does not mean that you become an emotionless robot. It is the opposite. It means that you live with great joy and peace. You recognize and surrender to your Divine Self, to what is your highest good. You truly become a cocreater as He expresses through a clear vessel.
