The human race has always viewed its systems and organizations through the eyes of separation. This is true across the board for political, economic, religious, and even humanitarian systems. God is seen as separate from all systems, even within religions which see God in Heaven, separate from Earth. The world will not heal until God is seen expressing through all systems and all Life.

It's easy to trust when things are going well. Can you trust when things are not going well? Doing this is where the real growth back to God occurs.

The body is neutral. It is a means and not an end. It does not act on its own, and its purpose is given either by the ego or by a Mind which sees itself as One with God. For the former the body is a demonstration that sin is real. For the latter the body is used to bless and bring awareness of Oneness.

The quickest way to forgiveness of someone is to remember that we are all One. That is your Savior you are looking at to forgive. That is you. The need for forgiveness fades when you see with vision.

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 will 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.

You can't help someone if they don't want to be helped. And if they don't want to be helped, you have done all you can do until they make a different choice. Even if it is a person close to you, you can't be defiant or upset about the non acceptance of your help. You have to let it go as it is now between that person and God.

The whole is represented through each part, because only unity exists. A grain of sand reflects the full body of Christ and is a microcosm of the whole, just as each of us does the same.

Some people have their nose pressed up against the trunk of a tree and they think that reality is hard and brown and stubbled. Some people have their face pressed up against a rock and they think reality is smooth and gray. Some people have their face in moss and I think reality is green and springy. When we rise to the top of the forest we see that all of these realities are true and many more. And when we rise even higher we see that there are many forces besides our own. When we rise even higher we see that there are many worlds other than our own. The higher we go the more we see that “reality” encompasses many things and many views. Its not black and white. Its gray.

One of the hallmarks of the ego mind on this journey is pride. We fall into the trap of believing that all that has been revealed to us is all there is, and we compare our "knowledge", our achievement", against others who we see as on the path. We will never reach the end of the rainbow. We are All, but we cannot know All while in a body in this dream. Pride prevents us from being open to new revelations.

The purpose of everything in this world --- our experiences, objects, people, nature, etc --- is not what the vast majority use these things for. The vast majority uses them to support a false identity of themselves, an ego identity that is not based on a divine nature. So the ego looks at something or someone and asks what it can get to support its identity --- what can this educational degree or job do for me, what adulation or false power or what affirmation of victimhood can I get from this relationship, etc. With the ego it is always about what it can get, because it needs to constantly reaffirm a false self. With our true self it is about what can be given to the whole, for Love gives, without conditions. The purpose of everything in this world then becomes one of forgiveness, for the world is badly in need of that as the collective ego appearance of the world is one of projected guilt and blame. When we see that the true purpose of this experience is one of forgiveness, which allows us to return to a recognition of our divinity and Oneness with God, to return to Love, then we no longer participate in the collective projection of guilt, and everything and everyone becomes a blessing to help us remember who we are.

Guilt, self judgment, and fear are legs on the same stool. One is rarely present without the other two. When we believed that we fell from Grace, we felt guilty, then we self judged, and then we felt fear. Guilt, self judgment, and fear are what individually and collectively we project out in this false world. They are not of the Kingdom. Where Love is present, they cannot be.

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).

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 Child. 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.

Part of the awesome magic and beauty of life is that you never know who God will bring into your path. If you remember that every person is brought to you so that both of you can help the other reflect and remember Him, every relationship will be seen as a blessing, even if it is one that is "adversarial."

Like the body, memory is neutral. Events or experiences happened. Period. If we are holding hate or resentment over something that happened in the past, it is because we want it to be this way. When we continually bring up those memories of hatred and resentment in our mind, we do so because we believe that punishment is due. We believe that by not letting go, we are amplifying what happened and creating punishment for the person who did this to us. We are creating punishment, but for ourselves.

The idea that a God who is Love would be a punishing God is completely illogical and incompatible. When we say God is Love, it is not the same love as a human parent's love, where children are punished and there can be conditions for earning that love. God's Love is unconditional, which means without conditions. We do not have to do anything to earn that Love, and that Love can and will never be taken away from us.

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.

Most people respond to fear by trying to take an outer action versus examining the source of fear. But when we don’t look at the source of our fear, which the universe is pushing all of us to do at this time, this can have adverse consequences. For instance, maybe you are afraid of being alone and you are jumping from one dysfunctional relationship to another. Or you may automatically do what an external authority tells you to do for fear of being an outlier. The source of our fear is internal not external. The external only acts as a trigger for the internal.

If you are "looking for something better", you are looking to the future and not present in the now. You are looking for something better because you believe that whatever it is --- money, job, relationship, etc. --- will bring you happiness. But ironically you will only find that which you seek in the present moment. The now holds the joy, the richness, the beauty, and the wholeness you want.

When you give to others, do you do it because you think this meets the expectations of your family or maybe society? Do you think this is what God wants from you? Do you do it because this makes you feel better about yourself, maybe that you are needed. Is there any motive? If there is any motive, then giving "takes away" from you. You know this state when you don't take care of yourself. You give but there is nothing to replenish. When you give from this place, resentment can build in you. When you give simply because you want to, you have an endless supply in which to give. This type of giving is spontaneous and filled with joy. It springs up in you, directly supplied by God, as you are the clear vessel through which He spreads Love. This type of giving is what you like to do, because this is what you were created to do. we create through the giving of what we are --- Love. As you give from a joy filled center, you are like a fountain with an endless supply of water. The more you give, the more you have to give. The act of giving is what creates more to give. This is G.I.A. --- God In Action. You are Self less, not self full.

As we grow in our journey of remembrance back to God, our perspective and understanding expands. We move closer to what Truth is, not what we "think" Truth is. Remember, Truth is self evident. If it can be debated, that is not Truth --- that is people's perception of Truth. If we have our face rigt next to a tree, we think the bark is Truth, but everything changes when we take a few steps back, and it really changes when we are in the sky looking at the whole forest (this is not Truth either, but it is closer to it). Never assume you know or have Truth, because there is always a higher perspective to go to. We have Truth and we are Truth, but we live in a world of illusion and duality that gives the appearance we are separate and not One with God. As long as you walk this earth, in this dream, you cannot know the totality of your Being, the ultimate Truth of who you are. God is infinite --- there is always another level of deepening into the Oneness with Him. Recognizing that we do not have ultimate Truth leads us to humility, and ironically, this humility is the opening which allows God to get in and show us a higher perspective.

The Kingdom of God knows only joy, no sadness. The paradox is that we live in this dream world of duality, and to get to the pure joy, we have to experience sadness, because we can only know the joy through its opposite.

The "farther" we move away from God, the more intense the pain of the perceived separation and of the longing. We try to numb that pain with drugs or alcohol or other medicators. Medicators are not just drugs and alcohol but can be everything from workaholism to sexual addiction to obsession with the internet or obsession with the spiritual journey. But whatever the form, this medicator is always unsuccessful, and as the pain and longing return, we up the ante with more of what we have been using or with another medicator. This same cycle may go on for a while until we have hit our head against the brick wall so much that we are bloodied and we finally see that the search is bringing us nothing but more pain. Then, we surrender, admitting that we have no idea what we are doing, where we are going, and asking for help. We may not even believe in God at this time, but what we have done is create an opening for God to rise in our remembrance.
