It is important to say you are sorry, both for yourself and the person you are apologizing to. When you say you are sorry and it is heartfelt, you affirm that which is Real in you for you and the other person. You advance yourself on the path to God, because you acknowledge that you would do it a different way the next time, that the words or the act came from maybe a place of anger or bitterness or resentment or hurt and not from who you want to be and who you are.
It takes humility, courage, and the willingness to be vulnerable to admit that to yourself and the other person, and when you are willing to do that, He is working through you.

Sometimes God shows us the right path by our going down a wrong path, one which leads to a dead end. He lets us have our will so that we can see His Will.

Food or drugs or alcohol or technology or porn or money or control cannot cover those feelings of despair, longing, and hopelessness that you have. Only God can fill that hole.

God is purity and holiness. You are purity and holiness also. The only thing that prevents you from recognizing this is your limiting belief system.

The problem lies not in what you have done, said, or thought. The problem lies in the fact that you have judged yourself as sinful for what you have done (or not done), said, and thought. The belief in sin and the corresponding self judgment cuts us off from our awareness of our divinity. Oh if you only knew how holy you are.

Someone else's judgment of you only bothers you because there is a part of you that believes it could be true. When you judge yourself, you are not sure of who you are. When you drop the judgment of yourself, judgment by others will have no effect on you.

"Peace" and "happiness" for the ego means winning, always having to be right, and always wanting more. But that also means being alone, even if you are with other, as you have created an artificial wall that prevents you from seeing Unity.
God's peace and happiness means knowing there is no "right" as what is right and wrong is unique to each of us based on our own belief system --- we "see" what we want to believe, then we use that to confirm our belief, like a dog chasing its tail. Black and white do not exist in the Kingdom of God as everything blends to grey.
God's peace and joy comes from acknowledgment of Unity, from acceptance of everything and everyone, even if you discern (not judge) that some people's action are not okay. This understanding means never feeling alone, even if you are not around anyone else. Do you feel you always have to be right? Is it more important to be right or to have God's peace and joy?

Do you see how your judgments, opinions, and beliefs create your emotions, such as sadness, anger, and fear? Isn't that kind of like the tail wagging the dog? When you don't operate from a system like this, then you are free to be who you really are, and the only emotions that arise are Love and joy.

Many are afraid of darkness and evil in the world, because we fear uncovering the darkness we perceive inside of us. But even in the darkest night there is some light present, and if any light is present, it is all Light.

You are Love. If you don't acknowledge that by letting others know that this is very important to you, how do you expect to become that which you already are?
This is not just about telling your family and close friends that you love them. When you email someone you know, say "Love" before your name. Does the fear of being vulnerable stop you from doing that? Does society's expectations? If you want to really step out, say "I love you" before your name.
Love is. It doesn't worry about how it looks or what other people think. Be who you are!

You don't have to say, do, or think certain things to be accepted by God. You don't have say, do, or think certain things to be your Real Self, to be in the Light, to be awake or "enlightened." You are already complete and perfect as you are --- NOW.
The big misconception of the spiritual path, really any path you see yourself on although they are all "spiritual," is that you have to change yourself in some way. You have to do this practice, or abstain from doing something else, say a certain prayer all the time, or eat certain foods, etc. etc. etc.
Ask yourself what it is you believe that you must do to earn God's Love, to be in Grace, to fit in. What do you think you need to do change yourself? Do you see how your belief that you need to change yourself is preventing you from seeing how incredibly holy and Divine you are, right now. Your divinity, your holiness, is your inheritance from God. There is NO THING that can change that, regardless of what you believe about yourself.
For what you believe and what is Truth are completely different. Accept yourself NOW in this moment, exactly as you are. Isn't the most amazing and blessed thing that we don't have to do anything other than be who we really are? We don't have to add anything --- we just have to subtract, release what is false that covers up our recognition of the purity that is inherent.
You see all these flaws in the diamond, but the diamond is completely perfect, no inclusions or flaws. This is how God sees you all the time. If you don't believe that, ask Him, and then be really ready for the answer. Because He waits to tell you this. He waits to tell you how much He loves you. You just aren't listening.
You have to take away the chatter of the world because it is false and leads you to believe something about yourself and others that is not true. God is One. If He is Divine, which I can wholeheartedly assure you He is, then you are as well, because He is ALL that exists.
This doesn't mean that you can't take actions to "improve" yourself. It is the recognition of what needs to be improved that allows you the higher perspective of recognizing that you are perfect as is. It sounds paradoxical because it is. Our very existence as Divinity in a human body is paradoxical. We can recognize our perfection while also recognizing what we need to change to allow more of that Divinity to shine through.
For the Divinity cannot NOT be there. It is just covered up by the clouds of your false beliefs. By removing the clouds, the false beliefs, the Sun, the Divinity is able to come through in magnificent brilliance. You are not only in the Light, you Are the Light.

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 on 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.

How we see ourselves is how we see God. If we think of ourselves as Love, then we will see Him the same. To the other extreme, those who see Him as a punishing and vengeful God have tremendous negative self judgments about themselves(that are hidden) --- you cannot think you are deserving of punishment and also believe that He does not punish; these are incompatible. Then there is everything in between.
The reason there are as many perceptions of God as there are people is that everyone has a different view of themselves which gets projected on to Him. We join those groups and religions where we find a similar view of God, but in reality we are joining because we are finding people whose perception of themselves aligns with ours. This allows us the "safety" of not having to challenge our belief system. Basically, we are trying to avoid looking at our self judgments and beliefs about needing to be punished, even if these are "milder" versions (just as some religions have milder views on this). Even our description of God as "Him" reflects the fact that Western society is a male dominated and oriented society.

How we view individual situations and the world is a reflection of how we view ourselves. All is One. There is nothing "external" to you.
If you view things "negatively" then you have negative beliefs about yourself, and those are the colored glasses through which you see the world (which is you).

If you had no self judgment, you would be Divine. Actually, you are already Divine -- this cannot change! But you would feel your Divinity, feel God's Presence within you, to the state where it brings you to tears of gratitude.
This is where you are headed! This is your inheritance. Jesus said you would do greater things than him. Do you not take him at his word? He raised the dead and fed everyone gathered from one fish. Wow, what does that mean you are capable of doing?
You will do greater things because you are as holy as him and he showed us the way. He showed us that when we do not believe ourselves to be sinful --- which is having no self judgment and allowing God to fully work through us --- then we have no limits. Miracles are only seen as miracles in a world where there appears to be limits and where people think they are limited. In Heaven, miracles are the norm :)
But didn't Jesus tell us that Heaven is within us and that we can have the Kingdom here and now? So what appears to be limits in this reality is just that, appearances. You are holy beyond measure. You just don't recognize it --- yet. This is why you are here at this incredible time on Earth. If you want to recognize it, be willing to drop what prevents you from recognizing it.
Pretty easy and logical, right? Funny how people want to hold on to certain beliefs and don't do what they know is in their best interest. God waits in infinite patience and Love for you to recognize who you are. Again, it is only about recognition and remembrance, for you are already there. How willing are you to drop what is false in you, how badly do you want it? If you want it, truly want it, you have to be consistent. You have to constantly witness your thoughts and beliefs and bring yourself back to Truth when you fall off center. When you have an emotional reaction, like anger, ask what is the belief behind that. And keep witnessing and unwinding that belief system, because it is a contorted ball that affects everything you do.
When you fall off center (which you will) and don't live up to your expectations, then have compassion on yourself. Self compassion is the single most important thing you can do to bring yourself into God awareness. It is truly what heals you above anything else, because self compassion allows you to drop the self judgment. When you drop the self judgment ..... then only God is there.
And having self compassion allows you to have compassion on everyone and everything. Then you see only through eyes of Unity, which is all that exists. What a beautiful and holy endless fountain of compassion and Love that becomes. And then life becomes very magical.

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.
Creation of something from a Love consciousness will be eternal. Creation from any other state will be ephemeral and will pass into nothingness as belief in it is withdrawn.

It’s really important to remember that fear is never about something external to us although we assign it to external things. Sometimes there is an action we are supposed to take where we push through our fear, but the fear of doing the action is always a pointer to see the underlying fear. Fear is internal and that is where it has to be addressed, not in changing something external to us.

You can't learn how to love and how to be Love unless all of you is integrated and loved. There are parts of you which long for expression, but which you suppress. God is Love, and Love is wholeness.
