Daily Light: July 2020
God measures by the heart.
You don't measure a person by their achievements, but by their willingness to be authentic and consistent. God sees our authenticity, not what we do for a living, how much power we hold, how much money we have.
He sees our heart, how much Love we put into the world, how we learn from our mistakes, how we come to Him in the silence, how we listen to Him, how we have compassion on ourselves and others. For what we achieve in this world is not real to Him, not real in Heaven. But what is in our heart is Real.
When we are authentic, we are consistent in trying to be the best version of ourselves. We will have days when our best is different than other days, and for this we need to have self compassion. The question we need to ask is if we are constantly looking to Him, constantly willing to look at ourselves so more of His Light can shine through.

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?

If your life is not working the way you want and you want to have more peace and joy, stop creating your identity from what is temporary.
Don't create an identity that you are a high powered lawyer, great doctor, or a leader of some group, not the member of a prominent family, not a member of a rejected class of society --- these are only roles you play, experiences you have, not who you are. You are not the forgotten middle child nor the rejected grandmother, not the victim, not the conquerer.
Your identity is not one of low self worth, not one of guilt or shame, not fear. Your identity comes from one source --- from God. This is who you are. This is what is eternal, and for that we can express great gratitude and joy.

There is nothing and no one that can save you other than yourself. This is the message Jesus came to tell us.
He told us that the Kingdom is within and that we only need to realize that and be One with that to save ourself. So he "saved" us by showing us the way back to the Father.
Unfortunately, his teachings were distorted by those who wanted to establish a power hierarchy where they made you believe that you had to go through an intermediary to get to the Father. Jesus said we are all Sons of God. He said we would do greater things than him and he raised the dead -- hmm, that must mean we are pretty powerful and holy.
We are One. Only Unity exists. Each of us comes to be the Christ by dropping what is false and through recognizing that we have never separated from God, that we are in a dream of our own making and that God loves us the same as the moment of our Creation. And we are still in that moment.

How can you understand or judge another's experience? You are a tree in the infinite forest that is God, and you cannot know what birds and animals are around a tree in another part of the forest.

God is all love and light, but certain parts of God do not acknowledge this, and thus certain realities are a battleground between good and evil. This Earth reality is such a place.
It doesn’t work to deny the presence of evil and bury our head in the sand. At some level we know it is here, so to deny it means to deny truth, and when we do this we stay in a lower energetic, where paradoxically evil can get to us.
If we acknowledge the presence of evil while holding compassion and the knowing that all is divine and that evil is only a rejection of its divinity, then we can take our head out of the sand and process any fear we have over evil. Then we can see from a larger perspective and knowing that we are the light and evil cannot touch us if we stay in this consciousness. Because it is all God, darkness cannot touch anything that knows itself as Light.

Because you have free Will, God cannot take something from you. You must offer it to Him and ask Him to take it. This means that you have to acknowledge and bring those things into the Light that you have tried to keep hidden ---- those thoughts you are ashamed of, your fears, your anger at someone, your anger at God, etc.
You fear acknowledging these things as if you are an evil or sinful person for having them, but you are not evil or sinful --- you only THINK you are evil or sinful. Paradoxically, bringing forth that which you want to hide and are ashamed of is how you transform these things and the only way to know your holiness, to know that you are the Light.

If you feel that you have to sacrifice to have God, you do. You have to give up anger, fear, resentment, bitterness, pride, self pity, and self righteousness.

The Will of God does not change. It is Love. It is through His Will that you were created out of Love. His Will is All, thus your Will cannot be different from Him.
Because we live in a world of duality, the appearance of choices is available to us. That is where intention comes in. We can set our intention to align with the ego or with God. We have never "left" the Will of God, but it is our choice of intention, our choice for God, which reveals that we have never left.

As we practice traits such as kindness and love, why is it that we often have a hard time doing "our best" with those we are close to and love? When this happens, we can be very hard on ourselves because those are the ones we least want to hurt.
But we need to recognize that our loved ones agreed to serve this role for us so we could grow. You don't grow in a cave. Two people who are in close proximity can serve as rough diamonds which polish each other. It is normal that this intense growth goes on at home while you can act like a saint in other environments.

In the paradox complete opposites are true. You are perfection, yet within this illusion you are working on perfection. You are human and spirit. You are both One with God and His Son. So your very existence in this dream is a paradox.
Once you recognize everything is a paradox and you stay in that paradox, that opens you up for tremendous growth in your remembrance of who you truly are. Your growth doesn't come from trying to reconcile the paradox. It comes from understanding you can't reconcile the paradox, because Truth contains All.

Unity reveals the truth that your thoughts are not separate from your experiences, that the former creates the latter. A mind which believes in separation sees no correlation between the two and believes that it can affect externals (your experiences) as if these externals exist in their own right, independent of everything.

You are not your belief system. That is something that is impermanent --- it changes every second. You are changeless, eternal, an expression of divinity. This is what lies behind the false.

If you really want something to happen but you are fearful of it not happening, then you are drawing the fear to you, and it won't happen. To put it another way, you are giving the power of your thought to believing you will not have it happen. It is like giving gas to the car when in reverse instead of drive.

Don't spend any time wishing a situation or experience were different. That's wasted energy.

If you feel that you have had actions or thoughts which are not consistent with Love, the number one thing you want to do is forgive yourself and not judge yourself. If you do nothing but this, it will have the greatest healing effect.
If you have said some words to someone that you regret, saying you are sorry is important, but doing this will be much more authentic and have much greater power if you have first forgiven yourself.

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.

The great saints and prophets of past and those who walk awakened today are fanatics.
They are not fanatics about who is or who is not going to Heaven. They are not fanatics about being succesful in a career, whether their favorite sports team wins, which party has political power, whether they look good. They are not fanatics about anything related to judgment of an individual, group, or nation, etc., for their view of Unity raises them above the limited perspective of judgment.
But they are fanatical in their Love and compassion. They apply these equally to all, without regard to someone's looks, status, and past experiences, actions, and words. That is what Love does and IS. That is what God does and IS.

Think of something for which you judge yourself strongly. This can be a recurring thought you have, a past experience, a habit --- something you try to repress or immediately stop thinking about when it comes up.
Now bring that up in your mind and feel the "yuckiness" around that. Then I want you to feel His Presence. If you can, feel God inside of you, but it is fine to feel Him around you. As you think of and feel that thought you try to get away from, know that He is there with you, even when you try to separate from a part of yourself.

Love wants to give --- that is where its joy comes from, whether that gift is acknowledged or not. The ego wants to receive --- that is where its "joy" comes from. It needs acknowledgments of its gifts to feel good about itself.

The need to be loved, by your spouse, your kids, another human being, the world, this need stems from your belief that you are not lovable. The degree to which this belief is held is the degree to which you seek love outside of yourself.
As with everything, God is the answer. For the more you know His Love, the more you have self Love and the less you seek outside yourself.
When you don't feel His Love, you desperately seek that Love outside of yourself to validate that this Love exists and to fill the hole of longing for that Love. These are the people you see who go from relationship to relationship seeking to find one who will give them this Love, but only He can fill this.

Freedom is aligning your Will, out of joy and Love, with His Will, and then realizing that your Will and His were always the same. When God is all that exists, how can there be anything outside of that Will? There can only be an appearance that something is outside His Will, but this is only an appearance, not reality.
