The Burden of His Message

Beloved Son, My Word is given thee, to wake the sleeping ones who know Me not. A messenger--one worthy of the name--points not unto his own, but ever to the message he was born to give away. 'Til he fulfills his function, earth stands like a block before the Truth; nor any path that seems to lead away from it within the world, even unto the grave, but leads him in it deeper still. He cannot be content until he sees that what he sought to find lay all the while within his heart and mind. The Truth's simple; 'tis we who are complex; a walking bundle of contradictions. 'I Am' is real, what is attached to it is but the mind's interpretive fiction.

Take you my message, as the sole burden that you would carry now. What came before can serve no longer. Take your brother's hand, and lead him happily away from fear, from haunting doubt, and crippling concern that what he has will be taken away. And thus must he be not His Father's Son, but "something else" instead--a parody of God's creation; mockery of His Will.

The body will remain the ego's friend until it is no more, but until then its voice seems to be pulling all its strings across the world of time and space--two thoughts which are both intertwined as one belief. What will time be to him when he perceives the timeless shining from his Brother's Face, the Memory of What He Really Is, and Who It Is that authored Him as such? The thought that he is stuck in time and space, and but a product of the two, is the unbelief that appears to hold him here. And what will happen to all happenings, when he recalls that God is everywhere, within him and without? There comes a time when this is understood. Inspiration from outside of this universe--that leads the first-born Effect back to Its First Cause--has guided you since first you called upon Its Holy Name, and will continue to. Rest here awhile in peace, for God Himself rests gently within you, His Holy Host. Wherever He abides is Holy Ground. 'Tis His Presence alone that sanctifies, and becomes the bread, meat, wine and water.

Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. Closed-mindedness is a defense I made as an attack upon the truth of him I look upon. If sinfulness I see, it is but hell that I choose for myself. But if I see him as God's Holy Son, am I released from the belief in sin, and thus make the decision for Heaven. 

When you recall your brother, think of this: in him you find yourself or are deceived in what you really are, at your behest. Ability to choose is blocked as long as this decision has yet to be made. Thus is so-called free will really unfree, until forgiveness is used as the key. For this it is, unlocking every door to the experience of what you want to see, and what you want to hear and feel. These sights and sounds, familiar yet forgot, rustle their feathers in your rousing mind.

This is the world you and your Father love.

The Peace of God

May the Peace of God, which passeth your understanding no longer, bless and keep you forever. The Ignorance—alien to this Peace, as is this Peace to it—lies only in the past, and it is nowhere. This Night that seemed for endless lifetimes to endure but disappears when the Morning Sun ushers in the Day of Miracles. The past is real to those who value it, but unto the Awakened Ones present to what is here and now, it is wholly unreal, because unvalued—except for its aspects that were sanctified by love. These loving aspects are the only reality the world ever possessed, and when you desire to see them and them alone, you will. In truth, there is nothing else to see. All the rest will then be laid aside as does a little child gladly forget his nightmares when he wakens from his sleep. If you wholly desire to behold the world through My beatific Vision, the Real World then will dawn on sightless eyes, and cover all the world you thought you saw with Light.

The world the ego constructed in its own image is indeed an hallucination you made up. A fantasy, a daydream is all it is. Is it not clear that salvation could not be possible otherwise? Here is the Great Release from guilt—that one-time guest-turned-tyrant. Here, within easy reach, is the full accomplishment of God's Plan for Salvation; here is the Atonement's Acceptance by the One Self for All. We leave the Last Step to God, because it is He and He alone who can lift us high above the Final Illusion—that there is or ever could be anything within the Son of God that needs forgiveness.

Now does He appear to be constrained to live amongst them all, to demonstrate that One who comes to Know that the dream world holds nothing of value, cannot by illusions be ensnared— However seeming great or small—although they seem to surround him on all sides. Again, nothing temporal is valuable but the loving exchanges between brothers. This crucial point is not really open to question, although you persistently question it. There is no answer to a meaningless question, but you have attempted to fill the void with your own. This attempt IS the Separation. Keep it not going now. Accept with open eyes and gratitude the fact you failed at the attempt, nor ever could succeed. It is true, if man could have pulled off the Separation, he would have long-ago destroyed himself. The Soul is What stands forth, unscathed, within the fiery furnace. A nuclear holocaust would leave the Soul untouched. Man cannot destroy himself, because God cannot Will His own destruction. Having Willed Life, It is...It was…It ever shall Be. A Loving Father must create a Son; a pure and holy Extension of Himself. Rejoice that you remain God's Completion. It is the touchstone of your holiness.

The loving exchanges between brothers, or Miracles, are valuable to the miracle-worker because they re-Mind him of his Father and himself, and his eternal Unity with Him. This Sacred Remembrance Miracles can only serve. The final Miracle is the Memory of God alone, the At-one-ment. It is received the moment it is accepted—the moment it dawns with all profundity on the miracle-worker's consciousness that Miracles are not to be regarded as spectacles. It is only the ego that craves spectacles as proof of specialness. The only Miracle there is is the One God created, and that One is you. You are the Salvation of the world. Being a spiritual truth, it is something you both have and are. In truth, you can say, along with me, I AM the Atonement. You will no longer perform indiscriminate miracles, once you remember your perfect trustworthiness. Neither, thereafter, will you ask me if you should perform them, because it will be perfectly clear that they are not of you, but of God, who does the Work through you. Like all Good Teachers, I came to teach you all I know, that I may make myself unnecessary. I took the second-place to gain the first. But in God, Who knows not of differences, there is neither first nor second nor last.

God is the Giver of Life, not its Taker. It is you who have made death, not God, and out of your value for what you have come to think of as "life". No one unawake to his Real Purpose, which is the Salvation of the world, can understand Life as God does. Not as an appearing, maturation, and eventual dissolution; not a becoming at all. As God knows It to be, Life is the same as Love:  Its Eternal Being is boundless, ever-present, imminent although transcendental. God's Life, His Love, His Peace is ineffable to human understanding, but entirely comprehensible to the Divine Understanding available to you Now.

On the Holy Instant

     I kept my promises. For I have come again as but a little child each time two or three gather in My holy name. We share this holiness together, as the One and Only Child of the Father. 

     And you have kept your promises to Me, to hear Me when I call and answer Me by hearing and answering your brother. 'Tis this that makes the holy instant what it is; this coming together; this communion.

     This meeting is outside of time and place, requiring only that you welcome in the thought this miracle is possible. Its basis rests upon the fact that minds are joined, so private thoughts cannot exist.

     Through the miracles of holy instants we share, the time 'til this joining becomes a world encompassing embrace, shortens immeasurably. You can save yourself millions of years now if you heed My Call and amplify It by your sharing It. So take this holy offering of Me by accepting Atonement for yourself, then giving it away in selfless Love.

     When Love is all you have to give away, it is but Love that you will then receive. Until all faith in sacrifice has gone, there will be doubt that it is possible to give without loss; love without betrayal; forgive without a pardoning of "sin". It is within your power to delay, but it is also possible to make this blessed moment yours, this instant, now.

     Would you believe Me if I said to you that all the peace, all of the happiness, and all the love you sought on earth in vain – plus confidence and true security – all these and so much more can now be yours by offering forgiveness to yourself? All of the holy angels breathlessly await the choice that time was made to help you make: to let the instant's blessedness be now in your experience of It. Take heart, Oh ye of little faith, and learn how much is given by your giving It.

     The Father smiles when any two return, with empty hands and open minds and hearts, unto this space of love and forgiveness. Smiling upon your brother, you shall see that God Himself returns your gentle smile. So is your brother savior unto you, as you decide to take your rightful place among the many saviors of the world along with him, redeemed from dreams of fear and doubt and guilt you tried to share before the Holy Instant came to save you both.

The Word of God

I come to bring remembrance of the Word that God has given you. Please understand this Word is not the black marks on a page to which you are accustomed. It is but the Knowledge transmitted from Divine Mind to you who have in stillness listened close enough to hear Its gentle urgency. It calls to you from deep within your Self, to that part of the mind that has divorced itself from hearing anything but lies. It does not fight against them, but reminds you that these can no longer serve you now, the Holy Host of God Himself. As you step back, allowing Spirit to come to the fore the Light of Truth steals in, and streams past barricades that blocked it out before. Its beauty overwhelms you as it shines and breaks each chain that bound you to the dark. Each lock flies open; every tear is dried, as with a newfound sight you see the door that leads away from your captivity stands open, as if beckoning you on into the light of freedom now held out to you who are delivered from despair.

                I said I am the Way, the Truth, and Light, but this is what I offer now to you: the opportunity to be like me, to see like me, to do what I have done, and greater things than these. Let those of you who possess understanding, understand. There is nothing of me that you cannot attain, nor am I absent to any who ask Me to witness to and through them. I do not leave any outside My Love, nor lead any astray where Love is not. 

My second coming, like unto the first, is but the resurrection of the Thoughts of Love and Peace and Joy that know no bounds. You sought Me outside of yourself at first, and through so many useless journeys learned that what you sought without could not be found, for you could not identify with Christ, your true and only real Identity. It is but guilt that drove your mind insane, based on the fear that you had attacked God whom you loved very much, but thought you lost His Love in the attack. Learn now Love cannot be hurt nor damaged, nor did you lose the Love you thought you did. It nestles quietly within your soul, and turning inwards now it welcomes you and gathers you unto itself, as does a hen her chicks; such is God’s Love for you.

On Listening to Your Intuition

"Meantime, whilst the doors of the temple stand open, night and day, before every man, and the oracles of this truth cease never, it is guarded by one stern condition; this, namely; it is an intuition. It cannot be received at second hand." 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, from "The Divinity School Address"

       

         Don’t be so quick to judge yourself! You were not given an intuition so that you could explain it away as something you must not be seeing or doing right. It wasn’t given so that you could increase guilt within your mind, already overburdened by it. Trust your intuition! If something doesn’t seem right, it very well may not be! Do not at the expense of your own inner wisdom be so quick to listen to voices outside yourself who tell you that the problem must reside with you. Rather, within your heart of hearts consult first the Holy Voice for God, and ask Her if your intuition is in resonance with Her own. She will tell you. Do not assume another must be right, and you wrong, simply because they are a famous "enlightened" teacher, or claim to channel Me. Look past appearances! Many are the vultures that soar high in the sky, but their eyes are fixed on the charnel pits below. Beware of them! They may appear clothed as an angel of light; they may seem to exude unconditional Love, but this is no sure indication of anything. For appearances oft deceive for the simple fact that they are appearances.                                                                                                           

         The authority problem manifests in many different ways, and one is the belief that there are some special souls who have some special privilege to My personal association. Such teaching is nonsense! I am available to each and all, at any time. I will witness to and for whoever will let me, and to whatever extent he or she allows it. My teaching is always the utter lack of specialness among the seemingly separate Sons of God. However, each and every one of you is inestimably special, as God’s One Son. In Truth, it is not so much that you are not special, as that you are no more special than your brother or sister. 

          Remember that I have told you to be as wise as serpents, and gentle as doves. I repeat: do not hastily judge yourself if something seems amiss in any situation. This path is not about assuming guilt for yourself and innocence for all others, nor is it about becoming more proficient at your already over-learned ability to distrust and deny your God-given intuition. Such is a distortion of My Teaching. I teach the knowledge that your mind, as much as anyone’s, is One with the Mind of God, and that all are as innocent through True Perception as I am. The partly innocent are apt to be naive at times, and so the wisdom that is needful here is discernment.

         The whole Process represents a gentle step by step undoing or silencing of the multitudinous voices of the false mind, so that you may begin to hear the Inner Guide, the Holy Spirit, the Teacher of teachers, speak to you.  It is not so still and small, once you learn to listen. The age of needing others—or sacred texts—to hear God’s Word, is past. No intermediary beside Myself in you is necessary. Therefore, let the dead bury the dead, and listen to the Living Word of God that speaks in your Christ Mind, and in your Heart. And when you listen—not putting words into the Holy Spirit’s mouth, not assuming that you already know, or that you must take Truth at secondhand from someone more enlightened, nor from printed words on a page—you will be told all you need to know.

The Kingdom of Light and Love

                     "Endless Love"

I hasten; as a young maiden at term,
From what I have, to what I've yet to learn.
Advancing on the night is my mission
Through days that march in steady procession.

The Light of Truth that shines into the dark,
Sets firm the feet of those who miss the mark,
Guiding the children to the Place of Peace.
In the Holy Instant they find release
  That comes from meeting their brothers without
all sense of judgment, anger, fear, and doubt.

And when you meet yourself in this same way,
The Christ in you will see the light of day.
The Love that is your birthright will spring forth;
And gardens from deserts will grace the earth.

         Child of Light, you came into the world to share the Light with others. But first you must discover what is the nature of this Light. You came from Light. It is not yours in the sense that neither you nor anyone can possess it in any exclusive sense, for this Light belongs to all. However, this is not to say that it has been given you on loan, with any expectation of return. But God is awaiting your return with great expectation, for He knows you could not be happy apart from Him. This Light is yours eternally, as God's gift to you. It is what you both have and are, as a citizen of the Kingdom of Light, and your ultimate destiny is to return to the place from which you came.

Hear My message to you and all through my sister and yours, Karen Langley:

         "In Truth, you are as I am.  To be as I am takes less want than belief. To be as I am merely requires acceptance that at your core or essence, we are the same.  Our Father created this Sameness that we are.  Nothing else has been nor could be true.  When you desire only to feel this Oneness or Sameness in yourself, you will always feel My Presence.  No greater gift can anyone give than to desire this for themselves and others.  What you are then desiring IS for everyone to be as they are, as God created them to be and in that Love joined forever.  In this Grace, not only is there no grievance, but there is no perception of difference.  And this is why I teach in many different ways that the focus on differences is a limitation and a delay, while to seek to focus on sameness and oneness encourages that to come forth even more in yourself and others.

         Be not concerned with things that do not matter. Come closer and closer to Me as a reflection of the Christ of yourself; for I am leading you to Me, and through Me to the Christ that you already are. This is the goal. Just as there is no world, no body, no time, no space, you will come to see that I am something of a mirage, if you will, through which the Light of the Christ comes. That is our goal. Receive that. As often as you can throughout your day, whenever it comes into your mind and whenever you feel disturbed or think, ‘what am I forgetting’, receive again the Light of Christ that seems to be outside of you. You may perceive it in a distant past or future, but in truth it is in you now. Play with This. It does not matter if you perceive it as something coming toward you or that you are remembering from within. It makes no difference…only receive it; open and receive. Drink of the water of the Christ Voice that is in you. Whether you hear It in yourself or through another, if you feel helped and comforted you may know that the Voice comes from God.

         Many believe that I am the challenge. I am not the challenge, but I am the Comforter. I am the Love, the Comfort and the Peace. The false mind is the voice that always says it’s hard, that this feels unsafe. I will never increase this in you. But the ego always seeks to distract and detour you. Be not concerned for I am with you. The day will come when my brothers and sisters will discard this hallucinatory voice, with the knowledge ‘I have no need for this’. Now it may SEEM like a trial. I come to remind you that this is not the truth. God does not bring the trials. He never can, and never will. Keep your feet firmly on the ground, your mind in the heavens of higher truth, and your heart in the Love of God. You already have begun to do this, and it will only increase for you."
