Call on His Love

I have written about a lot of subjects in my book and on this blog, but if there is one thing that you come away with, please know that God Loves you. He cherishes you. You complete Him, and you are His Beloved. These hard times, which are only now starting, are not a punishment for you. God does not punish. He expresses through you. Why would He punish Himself. As this dream, as this appearance gets harder and harder, you can always return to His Love inside of you. In fact, if you do not turn toward that Love, your body will not make it through this aspect of the dream. He can help you; He can take all your problems away by showing what is Real. He waits in infinite patience just to Love, to Love YOU. It is your choice. It is never too late, because turning back to Him means you leave this time based illusion and you return to the one eternal moment of your creation. You are me --- we are One. Let us do this together. His Love is the most simple, yet sweet and holy blessing, one that is beyond your imagination or comprehension. Let us return to Him and His Love.

Forgiveness Offers Everything You Want

We are in turbulent times. The appearance of the world is worsening. For those who do not recognize any part of their spiritual awakening, fear and anger will continue to rise within them, and they will feel very lost. Those of us who are conscious of our awakening have the blessing of seeing from a much higher perspective, but that doesn't mean that it is any easier for us. Many of us have done our "work" for a long time. When the fear and anger arises within us, we tend to judge it, like we are doing something wrong. Like we have fallen back or fallen off our spiritual path. We can never fall off our spiritual path, because only God exists, thus there is nothing that is not spiritual. There is really not a path. I have written about forgiveness before, and in these times, forgiveness becomes very important. Most people have the wrong concept of forgiveness. They believe that you have to forgive, to overlook, something that is true. But forgiveness really means that we first see that the appearance of everything is a dream, thus there is nothing to forgive. No attack or hurt was done to you. It happened only in the illusion. When we judge ourselves for our anger and fear, we project this out to others as judgment of them, their actions, their words, their appearance. If we forgive them these "sins," then we see from the perspective that this is all a dream. We see that none of these "sins" occurred. Then a miracle occurs. We forgive ourselves. We also see that we never sinned. Offering forgiveness "works" for two reasons. When we offer forgiveness to someone else, a group, or the world, we offer it to ourself, because we are One. And we can only offer forgiveness if we have forgiveness to give. By offering something, we acknowledge that we already have it. Doesn't God work beautifully?

Will One Good Person Stand up and Tell Us the Truth?

Is there a Christ among us? Is there anyone who will lead us out of this morass, someone who will be a moral and spiritual compass for those who are asleep? Is there anyone whom we can trust, as a clear vessel of God with pure intent, to administer this world as we come to a remembrance that the world is only a dream? The only way out of this financial, economic, and moral upheaval is to know that this world is a dream. With that knowing comes the remembrance of your Oneness with God, and all fear passes away. Fear is only present if you believe this dream is real. Those that will lead us out of the dream are those who are authentic. They are completely honest with themselves and those around them. We are still in the old system. Our politicians, those who are looked to for leadership, still believe that they can not tell the truth in order to be elected. I am not asking our presidential candidates to tell us this is a dream, because their level of awareness may not be at this point. They are exactly where they need to be. But I am asking them to be honest, to stand up and admit that our old systems are crumbling and that they do not know what the new will look like. I am asking them to admit that there may be great pain in this transition, and I am asking them to take personal responsibility. I am asking them, as well as all those in a leadership position, to not put the problem off on someone else. Each of us has responsibility for the way the world is, for even in this dream we are part of a larger collective, and individually and collectively we have made choices which have turned our face from God. These choices are not being talked about. Our turning from God is not being discussed. In this crisis, which will only worsen, everyone wants to blame someone else --- the government, the bankers, those who incur high debt. Where is the personal responsibility? The blame and victimhood must stop, for that keeps us from recognizing who we really are. The self interest must stop, because we are One. Each of us is responsible for salvation, for the ending of the dream. Each of must make the choice to stop being a victim. As important, each of us must no longer look to a person, a group, or the government to bail us out. Really, when we do this, we are looking for our salvation from something outside of ourself. Looking for and expecting the government to take care of your problems is no different than looking to a priest to help you talk to God. They are both diversions or reasons not to turn inward and find God within. Our politicians believe they must tell people what they want to hear to get elected. But the old is crumbling, and new ways, authentic ways, God centered ways, will be the only ways that work in elections, in business, in religion, in life. When people see that their beliefs rest on a foundation of sand, that no one or no thing in this world can assuage their fear and make them feel safe, then maybe they will truly listen for the first time. At that point they will be told what they need to hear instead of what they had previously wanted to hear. Is there a Christ among us? There are many Christs among us. You need look no further than yourself.

How Have We Arrived Here?

As a followup to my last post, it is helpful to see how we have arrived at this point in the dream. Collectively, as the one Son of God, we have turned our face from Him, from our own true nature. As the pain of Longing has intensified, we have tried to fill this pain by numerous means. One of my previous posts mentioned how addicted we are to sugar, and this addiction is a feeble and failing attempt to replace the sweetness of His Love. In addition to sugar, we have tried to fill that infinite hole of Longing with drugs and alcohol, Internet addiction, workaholism, etc. And one addiction that most of us share is the addiction to materialism. As we acquire more and more, we become increasingly frustrated and despondent as money and material goods do not fill that hole, so we try to acquire more money in a futile effort. Pity the super rich person who has everything that could be acquired and still feels that hole, for they realize that the search for more had no meaning. For them this is either a time of awakening or suicidal despair. Money has nothing to do with the Longing, which is filled only through your relationship and Love with God. You can be reach or poor and find your true joy in Him. So here we are in this illusion, which is now crumbling. We are here because everyone wanted more, more money, more houses, more goods. Because they were so disconnected from themselves and God, they made decisions out of fear. They took risks and did things that were part of the herd mentality, because everyone else was doing these things. When you do not know your Oneness, you move with the herd, just like a bunch of gazelles running wild out of fear as they are chased by lions. They thought that they were safe as part of the herd, but this is just another illusion. Your safety comes from your recognition of your relationship with God. Now the house of cards is falling, because it never had any support. Nothing based on fear has support --- it is an illusion, it is not real. But if you continue to believe in this house of cards as real, the fear is just beginning for you. It is no accident that you are here in this dream at this appointed time. This is the time of your awakening, the time that you have chosen. What do you choose to do at this holy time?

The Foundations of the World Are Crumbling

Because this world is illusory, it rests on a foundation of sand. This foundation has shown signs of cracks for a number of years, but now we are at the beginning where the whole structure will be coming down. The financial panic has only just begun, and it will spread in to everything, like a spark in an overgrown forest. What is overgrown here is our false beliefs about who we are. Everyone thinks this is a financial problem, but few see the spiritual underpinnings. It is spiritual, because everything is spiritual, everything is God. Collectively we have agreed to this forthcoming hurricane in order to help us remember who we really are. Whether it had to come to this is a moot point, for we are here. Individually and collectively we have manifested this scenario within the dream so that we will receive a "shock" to our memory. If you think this world is real, you will become increasingly fearful as these events unfold. But it does not have to be this way. Use these events as a contrast to show you what is Real, to show you that you are One with God and that you never separated from Him. This world, this dream, is a manifestation of our belief in separation. Because we believe that we sinned, we also believe that we should be punished. And in some respects, what we have called forth with the upcoming hurricane is our punishment. We believe that we should suffer to atone for our sins against God. But you see how one illusion --- the belief that we are separate --- leads to another illusion that we should be punished. And it leads to the belief that this world is real, which leads to great fear. You can depart from this dream of fear anytime you choose when you see yourself as One with God. When you do this, the world is no longer real and you no longer have fear over the events that are unfolding.

Shoulds

Haven't all of us done certain actions because we felt like we should? Where does this belief that we have to do something come from inside of us? It comes from a false self, a self that is constantly looking for affirmation that it even exists. When we do something because we feel that we should, it is as if we are earning points. We are being a "good" boy or girl, meeting expectations of others. Just as we believed as a child that we had to do certain things and meet the expectations of our parents, we carry that belief over in how we deal with God. We believe in a system of reward and punishment, that somehow we have to "earn" our place in the grand scheme of things. We believe that we have to earn God's grace. There are no shoulds. That is a false belief that you carry. God requires nothing of us, for if he did, He would be requiring something of Himself. We are fulfilling our role perfectly by being an expression of Him. And we do things out of joy, not out of obligation.

Isn't That Interesting

We spend so much time and energy getting caught up in our dramas. Somebody hurts our feelings, or we lose our job, or the dog dies, and we experience all of these ups and downs as if we are a boxer getting beaten to a pulp. Our mind stays on constant go mode, like it is mental masturbation. We think about what has happened, and we have regrets, joys, anger, etc., or we think about what will happen, and we have the same as above. We never live in the present moment observing. What if we observed these fears or this anger and just said to ourself, " Oh isn't that interesting." It would take us to a totally different perspective. It would take some of the fear away from the fear, or some of the anger out of the anger. Because a lot of our angst is our judgment of the fear, or our fear of the fear. We can see the fear for what it really is, just another energy arising within us. Oh isn't that interesting.
