“...the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1
As long as you think that either your good or your bad comes from another person or condition, rather than from the Christ spirit in and as that person or condition, you make yourself a victim of circumstances. Do not perpetuate the belief that any person or condition has power over you. I AM come to show you that when you are in your Christ consciousness there is no power apart from your own being. When I was Jesus it took me three days to rise from what looked like a bad situation, but I didn’t rise “from” bad to good. Rather, because I AM Christ consciousness I rose “into” dominion, into the realization that I was not a victim of anything. Neither are you.
Start today realizing that this day is a blank sheet. You can write on it what you will, but remember the power of the word. In the beginning is the word and that word forms your day, your year, and your future. I AM the word. Ask what you will in my name for this day and it will be. My name is freedom, joy, fulfillment, and above all, love. Start today day by recognizing the presence of love as your presence. Ask how you can give love today, and I will fill your day with an abundance of love.
Use the truth as you would an eraser. Don’t try to understand your problems, concerns, or anxieties. Instead, just erase them. Put your Christ consciousness up against them and erase them and they will no longer exist. Erase them from your mind by experiencing the truth of your divine Self. That is what the experience of fulfilled prayer is -- a kind of eraser with which you clean the slate. So pray without ceasing. Start the erasing process this moment. I, your own higher consciousness, AM here to erase the past and reveal the glory that is now. Experience my presence and all confusion will be erased.
The whole world is included in your being. What seems to be happening outside of you is happening within you. Winter is over and spring is about to reward you with new life. Every day can be spring if you see yourself as the embodiment of spring, as bursting with life. See me, the Christ of yourself, as the flow, as the “flow-ering” of Spirit. Spring is the evidence of grace renewing life. The essence of spring is grace. Grace is bringing you into full flower. Spring into life.
What did I mean when I asked you to die daily? I did not mean for you to condemn your humanity. You would never have been given a human personality if it didn’t have a divine purpose, if it were not necessary for your spiritual evolution. No, I just want you to die daily to a false sense of yourself. But dying alone is not enough; you must then give birth to yourself, your I AM spirit. As long as you are on earth, you will have a personality. Love it and use it, but die to letting your human self run the whole show. Let your Christ self, reveal the way for your human self to go. Love your humanity and gently free it from the bondage of old values into the light. I AM the light of the world.
When I tell you to overcome the world, I do not mean for you to destroy it. I AM your divine consciousness, and, as such, I have no wish to take you humanly out of the world. I have sent you into the world just as I sent Jesus into the world, for you to love the world as it is. For you to love the world you must know the truth about it, and for you to love individual being you must experience the truth about each and every one, including yourself. I AM that truth of all being. When you finally stop trying to change yourself, other people, or the world, you will have experienced the overcoming and you will see that the Kingdom of Heaven is right here where I AM, and always have been.
Realize that every mistake you have ever made has been made in innocence. It was made thinking that what you did would somehow fulfill you. If the truth were known, even what you thought were your greatest mistakes were made seeking me, the I AM of yourself. So forgive yourself. You may have looked backwards or taken backwards steps, but each year has brought you closer to me. Let go of the past right now and you will experience your divine presence. Feel your Christ presence pulling you into now. In this very moment all your past is forgiven. You are at the door to Heaven consciousness. I AM that door. Lift up your eyes and come unto me. Now!
If you don’t have an appetite for life, defeat in life is certain. Sometimes, mistakenly, your quest for freedom has caused you to deny life by telling you to deny your feelings, by killing your appetite for living. Self-denial honors death. No, I, your divine consciousness, have come so that you might have life and have it more abundantly and joyously. Turn to the light. Turn to life. Set your vision on freedom rather than self-condemnation. Then you will be honoring life and no longer be rejecting me, the Spirit within you. Look up; look out; resist not evil; resist not life. Now, at this moment, you are the perfect presence of God. You are free to love.
Clean house. Sweep away fear. See yourself sweeping away the belief that there is a power or a presence apart from your God-self. Sweep away the belief that there are things you must do that you cannot do or have not done. Sweep away anxiety. But remember that after you have swept away all the negative thoughts you must replace them with positive ones, or worse devils will come in. Affirm that you are all that I AM. Know that I AM your Christ consciousness. Replace duality with the realization that though you are also a human you are a divine human. Replace judgment with love and your house, your consciousness, will be filled with my presence.
This is our moment of communion, of our common union. In this secret place, the sacredness of prayer is revealed. This communion is the moment when you share your Spirit with your humanity. Ask for anything you want and it will be granted as long as it comes as a result of the common interest shared by your humanity and your higher consciousness. Your Spirit is the secret that will answer all your material and social needs, but you must only ask for an experience of our communion of Spirit, not for things. Feel my Spirit and see how that translates into the fulfillment of what you believe are your needs. Love.
I will not leave you alone with the weight of the world on your shoulders. Begin today by letting go of feelings of existential anxiety, of all concerns, until we, you and I, your personal sense of self and your higher consciousness, can listen to each other. After you are centered then work with what is at hand and when the concerns of the moment enter your thoughts I will show you what to do about them. Visualize a railroad sign that says, “Stop, look, and listen.” Stop thinking of your concerns for a moment. With gratitude, look at the beauty around you and the beauty within yourself, then listen to your spirit. I AM there.
Do you still believe that you have faults? You may think that you do, but you are wrong. What you believe are your faults are catalysts pushing you to learn lessons whose times have come. What you thought were your faults were your virtues leading you to find out that you are the God-being that you are coming to realize you are. Because I, the Spirit of Truth, am the only power in your life, everything in your life has a divine purpose. You are beautifully on track becoming my perfect presence on earth. Go forward making whatever changes and decisions you feel you must make without fear. It’s all God.
I, the Christ of your being, AM the link that joins heaven and earth. In the world there are tribulations, but because I have come into and am your consciousness, there is a way beyond fear. I AM that way. I AM that truth. I AM that life. When darkness prevails, see yourself reaching for my hand. Do not try to see the light in the darkness. Just take my hand, and I will lead you into the light, for I, your inner spirit, AM the light of the world. Once you are in the light, you can let go of my hand because then you will see that you are the light of the world.
The unique mystery of your Christ consciousness is that it appears eminent, as you, singular, and yet it is infinite and transcendent. I, your I AM spirit, was also embodied in Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed, and all the other saints and avatars, because I, your divine consciousness, transcends physical limitation. My presence in you transcends the limitations you place on yourself. You have a human identity that needs to be fed, clothed, worked with, and honored. But, when you see yourself as I AM, you will transcend all limitation. Leave your problems behind and rise up as the transcendent you. Feel it. Recognize it. Raise up your Spirit. Rise.
Humanly, you are not who you were yesterday, and you will be all the more wonderful tomorrow. That is because you will continue to re-create yourself in the likeness of the spirit Self that you have the power to image. You will create yourself by your godly imagining. In Aramaic the scripture does not say that we are made in the image and likeness of God, but rather that we are made “into’ the image and likeness of God. That means you can create yourself in the image of all that I AM - all that God is. See what you have thought were your shortcomings as the beauty marks that make you unique. Create your divine/human self in the image of your higher consciousness. Behold your glorious Self and the world will behold God.
Hope is a defeatist word. Get rid of it. Though you may hope that there is power in my presence by hoping for it to be you may be denying that I AM already your presence right now. Hope is future, but I AM now. Claim my presence now! Know that you and I are one and the same at this very moment! Know I AM here. I AM the peace, the joy, the fulfillment that you want, but you must claim to be that which I AM. Meet me halfway by claiming your inheritance, not hope for it. Bring my presence into the world by claiming it to be both your divinity and your humanity. Claim it both as yourself and for yourself, your Christ self.
What must you do next? That is all you have to know. Trying to figure out tomorrow is as difficult as trying to figure out which foot you will land on at some future date. You only have to know what to do next - what to do now! Trust me. I will take care of the rest. I AM going before you to make the crooked places straight. Keep putting your next foot forward don’t look back. Listen to the still small voice within, and you will know what you need to do next. That is all you need to know at this point. Take the next step, and the rest will follow. I go before you.
I know that every day you humanly look forward to sharing this moment with me, your higher consciousness. That’s why I know for sure that you love me. Though brief, this kiss, this union we share at this special time, joins your physical body to me, your soul, and that coming together carries you through the rest of the day. This moment is our secret time, our lovemaking, and our miracle. Do not waste it by contemplating problems or worldly concerns. Be spiritually selfish. Every time you experience our Oneness, our love brightens and colors everything that follows for the rest of the day. Rejoice in our divine humanity.
Because you exist in the world, I AM there. Without your spiritual awareness I would not have a window to shine through. Because I, your higher consciousness, exists you are free from physical, mental, or spiritual limitation. We, your divinity and your humanity, are partners, co-creators; we need each other. You need the spiritual guidance that I AM, and I need your physical presence to represent me at the material level. My responsibility is to assure you that I will never leave you. Your responsibility as a human being is to let go of your problems and be my representative. Listen and then do what the Christ of you would have you do. I AM as grateful for you as you are for me.
The greatest gift you can give me, the spirit within you, is for you to love yourself with the same unconditional love that I have for you. If you wish to know how, it's very simple. All you have to do is to want nothing of me other than to experience my presence. To love unconditionally is to want nothing that you do not now already have. Want nothing from anyone that they are not already giving, and want nothing of your God consciousness that it is not already providing. When you want nothing other that which you already have, trust turns into experience and you are free. I want nothing from you but your love. Offer to yourself that part of you that I AM, and then we are One in love.
Each day is born anew, and each day so are you. Our time together is a time of rebirth where we are born anew in each other. Since our last time together you have taken on some of the world’s karma. To be reborn you have to be cleansed of yesterday’s left over personal sense. Leave all of your past shortcomings, guilt’s, and fears behind. Take off yesterday’s consciousness as you would take off a worn-out shirt. Put on your newborn Christ Spirit, my Spirit. Wear the consciousness of I AM. Then look in the mirror of your soul and see how handsome you are. That is my gift to you. Wear me today.
Approach today as though I AM waiting for you to see me in everything you do and feel, because I AM. The Christ within you is waiting to be experienced. I AM waiting for you to express me outwardly in all you do, in all you feel, and in all you show forth to those that you have anything to do with. See me as the Christ of you being expressed. Consciously see how I AM involved in everything you do today. Don’t speak or do anything until you feel you are being my presence. That which you are aware of you are; so be aware of me expressing myself as you. I AM.
There is nothing incomplete or partial about my plan for you. If the divine process of life could be set aside because you had failed to do what you thought you were supposed to have done, or if the plan could be set aside because you had thought thoughts that you should not have thought, that would mean your mind was the power in your life rather than my Spirit. In your heart of hearts you know that I AM the only power in your life. Trust the plan I have for you. It is right on time. Only spiritual self-doubt can make you forget that there is a perfect ongoing plan for you. Stop doubt dead in its tracks. When you trust the plan you are loving me, and to love me is to love yourself.
There is not a time when I AM more evident than in the spring. Crisp, clear mornings, bright green leaves, delicate jewel-like blossoms, are all testifying to the miracle of new life in nature and in you. You are not left out. I AM the miracle that is taking place in you, giving you new energy and a fresh new start. This renewal represents the blossoming of your Christ consciousness. Rejoice. You are the flower of my spirit. Spring into the new: your new presence, your new joy, and your constantly new love. I AM the spring, and I AM you.
Today, welcome the adventure of living. Take chances. Live adventurously as your divine human Self. Life is here to be lived. Venture forth unafraid and expectantly. My Spirit is here to help you and to help you help others to be creative and fully alive. Wanting to hang on to stagnant security is not my way, but taking chances in order to prove my love is. If your life was easy it would be spiritually boring. Thumb your nose at appearances. Dare to be all that you are. Dare to be a prophet. Dare to be human. Accept life as a divine adventure. You can’t lose.
As long as you continue to think in terms of either/or you are a house divided, a divided consciousness, and there is no way you can experience that it is all God. You don't have to insult your intelligence by trying to tell yourself that pain and failure do not exist nor do you have to brain-wash yourself into believing that your human condition is an illusion. When you stop labeling your experiences in terms of their being either good or bad, either success or failure, you will be living in the now, and you will be the conscious being I have brought you into the world to be. Nothing can stop you from realizing that you are all that I AM when the spirit of either/or ceases to exist in your consciousness. It’s all God.
