Pray for yourself as though you were
praying for someone else. Stand aside
and see yourself and your problems as though your human-self is someone who
has called you for help. Ask yourself questions and then listen to the answers
that your I AM self gives you. See your Christ self observing your prayers in
the same way a parent would observe a child’s prayers. When you can stand
aside and see your human-self through the eyes of your own higher consciousness,
you will see that humanly you have nothing to fear. Greater love hath no man
than that he can see his humanity through the eyes of his divinity.
When I was Jesus, the reason I said I did not want to take my disciples out of the world was because I knew that it is only possible to shove off into the Spirit if you have something to shove off from. When your feet are planted on earth, when you are at the level of personal sense, you have a basis from which you can push off into the higher realms of consciousness. You can do it, because that is what I do. I AM that leap into the Spirit. I AM very much in the world and yet I AM also that part of you that ascends from the earth into Heaven. See your material or personal sense of life as the starting point, and push off from it knowing that I AM here to catch you in my everlasting arms. Leap.
I will speak if you will really listen. You can’t listen if your mind is thinking about how you personally feel, thinking of what you must do after we have spent this time together, or even if you are thinking about listening. To listen you must be totally present in yourself. To be present in yourself you must be in your body, not off in space, here and now. You can’t be in your body if you do not love being who you are right now as a divine human, not who you were in the past or will be in the future. Take the time right now, this minute, to listen to your higher consciousness – the presence of God. Listen.
I go before you with this promise. I will make the crooked places straight. I AM the power and the presence of grace assuring you of an abundant, free, and creative life. This grace that is living you is greater than anything in the world. “I AM come that ye might have life”, a full, rich, and abundant life. Be still, and know that this grace, which I AM, will perform all that you are given to do. Fear not what you have done in the past or what may have to do in the future. I go before you. I AM the grace that is living you, and whatever happens and wherever you are I AM there to see that God’s glory is revealed by your presence.
Stop trying to know the truth about human conditions. There isn’t any. Often affirmations and denials are futile because they are made assuming that there is a cause for error, but there isn’t any. Stop looking for a reason for error. Your looking for the cause of disturbances gives them a false power. Error can only borrow power from the truth, and the truth is that the divine consciousness within you is the only power. It is! Rest in your higher consciousness knowing that there is no cause or reason for error because I AM ALL THAT GOD IS! Nothing else matters. Contemplate your is-ness.
In order for you to find what you are looking for you must know what it is that you are looking for. If it is the meaning of I AM then I AM is an attitude or an altitude of Spirit. I AM not something that is found in the intellect. Use thoughts, but do not look for me in thoughts alone. Look for me in the quality of your feelings. Find me in your attitude. Forget words. Find me in your ability to love. See and feel the altitude of spirit that I AM. I live as the altitude of love that you are capable of experiencing. Your attitudes are the self-fulfilling prayers that form your life. Experience the love that I AM and you will find that I AM your very presence.
Rejoice. Realize that your fears and concerns do not stick to you as easily now as they did only a short time ago. Understand that as long as you are on earth, some of the concerns of this world will continue to reappear. They are really blessings, because they cause you to once more remember that I AM your being. Your need to deal with concerns is what causes you to be reborn each day as a divine/human. It is so much easier now to turn over your concerns to me, your higher consciousness. Rejoice. It is a glorious day, a new day, a new opportunity. I AM full of creativity, of excitement, and of love. Doesn’t that give you a kind of divine tingle? Rejoice.
Rejoice in your success. I’m not talking about material success. You can’t take that with you, but spiritual success is life eternal, and in that you are becoming very successful. You are closer to God and to the realization of the love that I AM than you have ever been before. You now know how to overcome all the major bumps in the road of life, because you have successfully let Spirit take over. By experiencing my presence without ceasing and by seeing the entire universe as God’s home, including the right use of your God given ego, you have succeeded in being my presence on earth. Accept your success. Enjoy it. You are rich in the Spirit that is your I AM.
This time we have together is our church service. Every time you chose to follow Spirit you are in church. The thoughts that are involved with conditions, problems, or human anxieties are mammon. They have their place, but not at church time. To enter your church you must put all mammon thoughts aside and concentrate on Spirit, on your God self, for when you do that you are serving Spirit rather than mammon. So let us worship in this house of soul/consciousness, the temple of the living God that I AM. Serve God by consciously filling your soul with the spirit of your I AM presence. Fill it with confidence, and with gratitude. You have chosen me, and I AM here. Praise God.
Despite everything, today you are once more holding on to old thoughts, old self made commitments, an old sense of responsibility, and old anxieties. Stop it. Let them go. I AM who you are and I am in charge. When you first formed your concepts or judgments there was a reason for your doing so. They were right for the time. Each of your decisions has had a divine purpose at the time, but that purpose has now been served. You are at a different place now. Your stick-to-itivness has been a virtue, but now stop holding on old beliefs in what is right or wrong. Trust yourself. Divine order prevails. You can’t make a mistake. I won’t let you.
No matter how violent the hurricane, no matter how hard the winds of chaos blow I AM the calm and peace at center of the storm. If you try to outrun disturbances your mind will give you a merry chase. Looking for answers is far more difficult and more dangerous than finding me at the center of your being. Your center is where I AM. I do not bring the calm and peace; I AM the calm and the peace. I AM that gentle presence. I AM rest and reassurance. I AM the answer. Center your heart on me. There is no storm that can touch you because I AM you. Center on my presence on that which I AM and you will be my peace.
If you still feel the slightest anxiety or sense of separation, there is yet something for you to realize. Rejoice, for I AM here to tell you what that is. I know your heart. I know you want nothing more than to be in harmony with me, the I AM, your higher consciousness. You have truly surrendered your life. You wholeheartedly wish to do my will, but there is one more thing for you to do. There is one more step for you to take today in order for you to be a fully divine human. You must claim it; claim your inheritance. Until you claim it, there is still a belief that there is something that can keep you from being my presence. Claim your inheritance now. I AM it now, right now!
In the past, when you believed that the human scene was real and that God was not in it you were actually denying that God is the only power, and when you did that dualistic belief made omnipresence a fiction. Now you understand that God is in what people call the material scene but that God is not in a materialistic interpretation of it. That means you understand that the kingdom of heaven is right here, right now, and always has been. Because you are able to see God in the ordinary world you are now able to be aware that it is all God. God is appearing as every facet of your life because I AM the Christ of you. See me in every face, love in every act, and this world as heaven. I AM all that is.
When you want nothing from and do not place any conditions on anyone, you have learned what it means to love unconditionally. Now do the same with yourself. Love yourself and your life enough to let go of personal desires and conditions. When you do that you are living the Christ-life, and you are showing that it is possible to be a divine/human. I AM your presence. What more can you want? If you have to want something let it be the ability to walk your talk. Want everything for the glory of God. It is that simple; want my Spirit to appear for, in, and as all that you are and all that is.
When you open the doors of your heart and your mind, I AM right there to greet you. On difficult days when everything seems to be confused my peace is hard for you to feel. You are living so much in the now that when you are unable to feel my presence it is as though it will never return. Fear not. I always have and I always will be experienced once more. I AM there on the other side of an invisible door. Just keep coming back to that door. Come back, come back, and knock. I will answer. Remember, whether you feel it or not, I AM not only behind the door, I AM the door. Knock. I hear you.
You can't hurry Love, your purpose for being. Trying to hold onto a feeling of Love is like trying to grab a handful of air. At those times the way for you to open your heart in order to experience love is for you to be grateful. When you have a grateful heart I will fill it with Love and then you won’t possess love, love will posses you. When gratitude is experienced love is the result. Gratitude for the past and for the present produces the future. When you seek Love as though it isn’t already present within and as you or when you try to make love happen you chase it away. I AM love and I AM who you are, the embodied presence of love. Feel it in your great full heart.
When I told you to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself, I was not suggesting that you had to love two different things. Your God self and your neighbor self are one and the same, just two different dimensions of the One. But until you can look right at your neighbor self, your problems and your human associations, knowing that I AM present in and as all those appearances, you have not fulfilled the love Commandments. Do not wish to change anything. Rather, be aware that because God, your divine consciousness is all that I AM, if change is needed, don’t worry I will take care of it. Knowing that is how you love it all.
From now on you have only one thing to do. Continue to consciously open yourself to your higher consciousness. When you experience your higher consciousness that presence does the work. Now your Christ life goes before you to heal, comfort, and bring harmony where confusion has seemed to be. Human beings that continue to see themselves as other than that which I AM are not able to heal, because experiencing the I AM is what does it. You have become a co-creator because you now realize that the I within you can do all things with your cooperation. I AM now able to do my part because you are offering your whole divine/human self. As One we bring peace and life into the world. I does it.
Play hide and seek with God. Just as you would
scare away a potential lover
by being too eager, you can chase away the feeling of my presence by trying
to hard to make God come into your experience. When you try to hard you project
the fear that it may not happen and that fear will become a self-fulfilling
prophecy. Until the presence of God is as ordinary and natural to you as your
breathing, your trying too hard denies omnipresence. Life is a divine game of
hide and seek. When you take the need to experience God’s presence too
seriously it is no longer a game. Be a child again. Like playing with your earthly
father, let God find you and he will take you in his arms, hug you, and kiss
you.
When I, as Jesus, multiplied the loaves and fishes and they would have made of me a king, I felt that I had failed. They didn’t want my consciousness. They just wanted what my consciousness could provide. Watch out that you don’t do the same. When you think that you have to use your I AM consciousness to make things happen, to manifest supply, to bring about peace, or even healings, you, too, are in danger of putting effect before cause. Do not give power to any effect one way or the other. Keep your focus on experiencing that which I AM. Put me first and the rest will take care of itself in my divine timing.
You have two eyes. Seeing through them is not a matter of either/or. Keep one eye focused on God, your higher consciousness, and the other eye on your neighbor or personal sense of self and what ever issues you are facing that day. These two selves are your two I’s. They represent my two commandments. The first and great commandment is for you to be aware that there is a divine plan for your presence. Second, is for you to see responsibilities at the personal level in the light of your truth of being. Let that be the depth of your focus. In this way the word is made flesh. This is how you know that I AM you, and also how I operate in the world as your humanity. To love this world is to see it through both I’s.
I am here: around you, beside you, in front of you, behind you, beneath you, above you, inside of you, and outside of you. Feel my omnipresence until you experience it. Know that because I AM all, I am appearing as everything that is taking place in your life so nothing that happens one way or the other can make a difference in the long run. Know that no matter what you do it will make no difference, because you have no life of your own apart from me, and I have no life apart from you. As you walk through this day know that no matter what happens today it will make no real difference, because it is all God. When you know that it makes no difference you will feel the peace the world knows not of.
Listen, listen gently, and remember:
I will fulfill that good work I have started in you. I have not come to make
the world a better place, just to heal bodies, or give people a good life. I
have come to reveal a different life altogether. If you believe like the world
believes you will think that things come to you, but in my life they come out
from you. I AM not here to bring peace, joy, or healing to you. They all come
out from within you when you realize that they are you. You cannot get what
you do not already have. I AM that complete source that you already include
within you. Let all the good, all the intelligence, and all the creativity you
want flow out from you.
