Entering the Ark
Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. Yet
you
give power as the laws of this world interpret giving; as you give you
lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. Power is of God,
given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you
give you gain. He gives no power to sin, and therefore it has none;
nor to its results as this world sees them,--sickness and death and
misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy
Spirit sees them not, and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without illusion of what
you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has
already given and received all that is true. The untrue He has
neither received nor given.
Sin has no place in Heaven, where its
results are alien and can no more enter than can their source. And
therein lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him
is
Heaven. See sin in him
instead, and Heaven is lost to you. But see him as he is, and what is
yours shines from him to you. Your savior gives you only love, but
what you would receive of him is up to you. It lies in him to
overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his own salvation. And
so it is with yours. Salvation is a lesson in giving, as the Holy
Spirit interprets it. It is the reawakening of the laws of God in
minds that have established other laws, and given them power to enforce
what God created not.
Your insane laws were made to guarantee that
you would make mistakes, and give them power over you by accepting
their results as your just due. What could this be but madness? And
is it this that you would see within your savior from insanity? He is
as free from this as you are, and in the freedom that you see in him
you see your own. For this you share. What God has given follows
His laws, and His alone. Nor is it possible for those who follow them
to suffer the results of any other source.
Those who choose freedom will experience
only its results. Their power is of God, and they will give it only
to what God has given, to share with them. Nothing but this can touch
them, for they see only this, sharing their power according to the Will
of God. And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It is
upheld through all temptation to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is
of them who learned of freedom that you should ask what freedom is. Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, for those with little wings
have not accepted for themselves the power to share with you.
The sinless give as they received. See,
then, the power of sinlessness within your brother, and share with him
the power of the release from sin you offered him. To each who walks
this earth in seeming solitude is a savior given, whose special
function here is to release him, and so to free himself. In the world
of separation each is appointed separately, though they are all the
same. Yet those who know that they are all the same need not
salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to look
upon the face of Christ, and see Him sinless.
The plan is not of you, nor need you be
concerned with anything except the part that has been given you to
learn. For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not need your part to help Him with the
rest. For in your part lies all of it, without which is no part
complete, nor is the whole completed without your part. The ark of
peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another world goes
with them. Each holy relationship must enter here, to learn its
special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His
purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which
sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without fear and
where he rests a while, to forget imprisonment and to remember freedom.
How can he enter, to rest and to remember, without you? Except you
be there, he is not complete. And it is his completion that he
remembers there.
This is the purpose given you. Think not
that your forgiveness of your brother serves but you two alone. For
the whole new world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to
rest. And as they rest, the face of Christ shines on them and they
remember the laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to
have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest without them?
You could no more leave one of them outside than I could leave you,
and forget part of myself.
You may wonder how you can be at peace when,
while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the
way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask
yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your
salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one
function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy
Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go
before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones
to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will
be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before
you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of
everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that
was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee will hold
against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency.
It rests on
you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God?

Q “The spiritual eye can be thought of as the real world in
a happier place? Not just the description Yogananda gave”
.. ..
A “The spiritual eye has been shown and called many many
things.
It’s simply the Eye of Truth.
When that opens it’s what we call awakening.
When it opens for but a moment we call that having an awakening.
When it remains fully open we call that enlightenment.
So what is truly your question my angel?”
.. ..
Q “What does it look
like?”
.. ..
A “It looks like nothing for it has no form..
Many have used symbols to describe it but they are merely symbols.”
.. ..
Q “This is scary .. man. The idea that Heaven and God is
nothing but a shining bright white light seems BORING and frightenting. Doesn't
it make sense for there to be something to do in Heaven, in oneness?
If it's formless and looks like nothing doesn't it look like something?”
.. ..
A
“You asked how the Third eye looks like no?
But either way your right..
Its empty so in a sense there is nothing to see...
Dont you see? lol
Seeing is made for perception.
When you know you need see nothing...
.. ..
.. ..
In heaven its not boring for in heaven you do do something.
You co create.
Heaven is creation.
But in heaven its not a job
its simply part of what you are.
It's like the sun.
The sun's Job is lighting all the solar system.
Yet it does nothing in a way
for by simply being it does this.
Its not like here that you have to get up, get dress and go to work..lol
Its more like this..
Just you being
all is done.
Get it?
As for the formless..
Think of it this way.
You have had moments of this..
Its like that empty, empty place you go to.
It is like melting away.
It’s like when the wave melts back into the ocean.
The wave now being the ocean itself, it is not concern with the surface anymore.
It just experiences the oneness of being all the ocean.
In this experience nothing is really seen but known.
The ocean takes care of all the waves and all the life within it
by simply being the Ocean..
You are the Ocean confusing yourself with Just the surface waves...
When you melt into yourself you see that you always, always have been the
Ocean.
The wave was merely an idea of whom you thought you were.
Your the Ocean.. Your the Ocean itself...
The ....Ocean.. of ..Life.......
Life is~”
.. ..
Q “HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU?!?!?? DO YOU KNOW ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME? CAN YOU
PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU FULLY?!?? I LOVE
YOU BLESSED TEACHER. I WAITED SO LONG FOR YOU
AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU. I LOVE YOU”
.. ..
A “As I love you..=)
You need do nothing but accept my help.
This makes me think of a beautiful angel face child. Imagine
how beautiful he is playing all day long.
Imagine if he gets lost and he becomes so afraid and mother rushes to him
And hugs him and starts to carry him home… He may say “mom you saved me thank you.”
.. ..
She may say “ I love you! I am always here for you and will
always take care of you.”
What thanks does love need for loving?
My help is here for you my angel I to was lost not to long
ago yet mother came and helped me as I have come to you to give you that same
help. I love you.. wtie”
.. ..
Q “ Why does it seem so hard to forgive?”
.. ..
A “I could say much on this but I will try to keep it as
simple as I can.
It’s hard for many
reasons… One is your investment in the unforgiveness and
another is you have taught yourself for so long how to not
forgive. So the unforgiving nature has much momentum. Be patient and you will learn forgiveness
perfectly. When
you become more and more invested in forgiveness you will
more and more forgive…”

The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your soul and there is no gain in the world, for of itself it profits nothing. To invest without profit is surely to impoverish yourself, and the overhead is high. Not only is there no profit in the investment, but the cost to you is enormous. For this investment costs you the world's reality by denying yours, and gives you nothing in return. You cannot sell your soul, but you can sell your awareness of it. You cannot perceive your soul, but you will not know it while you perceive something else as more valuable.
The Holy Spirit is your strength because He knows nothing but the spirit as you. He is perfectly aware that you do not know yourself, and perfectly aware of how to teach you to remember what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it. Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget your Father but you do not really want to do so, and therefore you can decide otherwise. As it was my decision, so is it yours.
You do not want the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you. As self-value comes from self-extension, so does the perception of self-value come from the extension of loving thoughts outward. Make the world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Correction is for all who cannot see. To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy Spirit's mission, for He knows that they have not lost their vision, but merely sleep. He would awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as yours. The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will learn to re-invest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.
When you have seen this real world, as you will surely do, you will remember Us. Yet you must learn the cost of sleeping, and refuse to pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's Love for Him. And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. In perfect peace He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding out the Father's Love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self.
Every child of God is one in Christ, for his being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's Love for you is His Love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's Love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension. Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God.
What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself that is His Son. The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being in God it must also be in you.

............
Ramana was a silent Teacher, if there was one. It would be
more appropriate to call him the Silent One, for teaching denotes duality, the
teacher and taught, while Ramana was, as a devotee wrote, “the Pure Non-dual
Essence.” His most direct and profound teaching was transmitted in silence.
However, how many were there that could immediately hear or
experience the unspoken, the unwritten word? Devotees and visitors asked
questions and out of his boundless compassion Bhagavan answered them in his own
inimitable way, as the following excerpts will show. ....
....
Happiness
All beings desire happiness always, happiness without a tinge of sorrow. At the
same time everybody loves himself best. The cause for this love is only
happiness. So, that happiness must lie in one self. Further, that happiness is
daily experienced by everyone in sleep, when there is no mind. To attain that
natural happiness one must know oneself. For that, Self-Enquiry 'Who am I?' is
the chief means. ....
Consciousness
Existence or Consciousness is the only reality. Consciousness plus waking we
call waking. Consciousness plus sleep we call sleep. Consciousness plus dream,
we call dream. Consciousness is the screen on which all the pictures come and
go. The screen is real, the pictures are mere shadows on it. ....
Mind
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self. That which arises in this body
as 'I' is the mind. When the subtle mind emerges through the brain and the
senses, the gross names and forms are cognized. When it remains in the Heart,
names and forms disappear. If the mind remains in the Heart, the 'I' or the ego
which is the source of all thoughts will go, and the Self, the Real, Eternal
'I' alone will shine. Where there is not the slightest trace of the ego, there
is the Self. ....
Who Am I ? Enquiry
For all thoughts the source is the 'I' thought. The mind will merge only by
Self-enquiry 'Who am I?' The thought 'Who am l?' will destroy all other
thoughts and finally kill itself also. If other thoughts arise, without trying
to complete them, one must enquire to whom did this thought arise. What does it
matter how many thoughts arise? As each thought arises one must be watchful and
ask to whom is this thought occurring. The answer will be 'to me'. If you
enquire 'Who am I?' the mind will return to its source (or where it issued
from). The thought which arose will also submerge. As you practise like this
more and more, the power of the mind to remain as its source is increased. ....
Surrender
There are two ways of achieving surrender. One is looking into the source of
the 'I' and merging into that source. The other is feeling 'I am helpless
myself, God alone is all powerful, and except by throwing myself completely on
Him, there is no other means of safety for me', and thus gradually developing
the conviction that God alone exists and the ego does not count. Both methods
lead to the same goal. Complete surrender is another name for jnana or
liberation. ....
The Three States :
Waking, Dream and Deep Sleep
There is no difference between the dream and the waking states except that the
dream is short and the waking long. Both are the result of the mind. Our real
state, called turiya (fourth), is beyond the waking, dream and sleep states. ....
Grace and Guru
I have not said that a Guru is not necessary. But a Guru need not always be in
human form. First a person thinks that he is an inferior and that there is a
superior, all-knowing, all powerful God who controls his own and the world's
destiny and worships him or does Bhakti. When he reaches a certain stage and
becomes fit for enlightenment, the same God whom he was worshipping comes as
Guru and leads him on. That Guru comes only to tell him that ‘God is within
yourself. Dive within and realize.’ God, Guru and the Self are the same. ....
Self - Realization
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or
becoming anything. If one has realized, he is that which alone is, and which
alone has always been. He cannot describe that state. He can only be That. Of
course, we loosely talk of Self-realization for want of a better term.
That which is, is peace. All that we need do is to keep quiet. Peace is our
real nature. We spoil it. What is required is that we cease to spoil it. ....
Heart
In the center of the cavity of the Heart, the sole Brahman shines by itself as
the Atman (Self) in the feeling of 'I-I'. Reach the Heart by diving within
yourself, either with control of breath, or with thought concentrated on the
quest of Self. You will thus get fixed in the Self. ....
Renunciation
Asked “How does a grihastha (householder) fare in the scheme of Moksha
(liberation)?” Bhagavan said, “Why do you think you are a grihastha? If you go
out as a sannyasi (ascetic), a similar thought that you are a sannyasi will
haunt you. Whether you continue in the household or renounce it and go to the
forest, your mind goes with you. The ego is the source of all thought. It
creates the body and the world and makes you think you are a grihastha . If you
renounce the world it will only substitute the thought sannyasi for grihastha
and the environment of the forest for that of the household. But the mental
obstacles will still be there. They even increase in the new surroundings.
There is no help in change of environment. The obstacle is the mind. It must be
got over whether at home or in the forest. If you can do it in the forest, why
not at home? Therefore, why change your environment? Your efforts can be made
even now - in whatever environment you are now. The environment will never
change according to your desire.” ....
Fate and Free Will
Free will and destiny are ever existent. Destiny is the result of past action;
it concerns the body. Let the body act as may suit it. Why are you concerned about
it? Why do you pay attention to it? Free will and destiny last as long as the
body lasts. But jnana transcends both. The Self is beyond knowledge and
ignorance. Whatever happens, happens as the result of one's past actions, of
divine will and of other factors.
There are only two ways to conquer destiny or be independent of it. One is to
enquire for whom is this destiny and discover that only the ego is bound by
destiny and not the Self and that the ego is non-existent.
The other way is to kill the ego by completely surrendering to the Lord, by
realizing one's helplessness and saying all the time, 'Not I, but Thou, oh
Lord' and giving up all sense of 'I' and ‘mine’, and leaving it to the Lord to
do what he likes with you. Complete effacement of the ego is necessary to
conquer destiny, whether you achieve this effacement through Self-enquiry or
bhakti marga (path). ....
The Jnani
The jnani has attained Liberation even while alive, here and now. It is
immaterial to him as to how, where and when he leaves the body. Some jnanis may
appear to suffer, others may be in samadhi; still others may disappear from sight
before death. But that makes no difference to their jnana. Such suffering is
apparent, seems real to the onlooker, but is not felt by the jnani, for he has
already transcended the mistaken identity of the Self with the body. ....
The jnani does not think he is the body. He does not even
see the body. He sees only the Self in the body. If the body is not there, but
only the Self, the question of its disappearing in any form does not arise. ....

........................
Be Vigilant Only for God and His Kingdom
....
We said before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative, and must be.
He sorts out the true from the false in your mind, and teaches you to judge
every thought you allow to enter it in the light of what God put there.
Whatever is in accord with this light He retains, to strengthen the Kingdom in
you. What is partly in accord with it He accepts and purifies. But what is
out of accord entirely He rejects by judging against. This is how He keeps
the Kingdom perfectly consistent and perfectly unified. Remember, however,
that what the Holy Spirit rejects the ego accepts. This is because they are
in fundamental disagreement about everything, being in fundamental disagreement
about what you are. The ego's beliefs on this crucial issue vary, and that is
why it promotes different moods. The Holy Spirit never varies on this point,
and so the one mood He engenders is joy. He protects it by rejecting
everything that does not foster joy, and so He alone can keep you wholly
joyous.
....
The Holy Spirit does not teach you to judge others, because He
does not want you to teach error and learn it yourself. He would hardly be
consistent if He allowed you to strengthen what you must learn to avoid. In
the mind of the thinker, then, He is judgmental, but only in order to unify
the mind so it can perceive without judgment. This enables the mind to teach
without judgment, and therefore to learn to be without judgment. The
undoing is necessary only in your mind, so that you will not project, instead
of extend. God Himself has established what you can extend with perfect
safety. Therefore, the Holy Spirit's third lesson is: ....
Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.
....
This is a major step toward fundamental change. Yet it still
has an aspect of thought reversal, since it implies that there is something you
must be vigilant against . It has advanced far from the first lesson (To Have, Give All to All), which is merely the beginning of
the thought reversal, and also from the second (To Have Peace,
Teach Peace to Learn It), which is essentially the identification of what
is more desirable. This step, which follows from the second as the second
follows from the first, emphasizes the dichotomy between the desirable and the
undesirable. It therefore makes the ultimate choice inevitable.
....
While the first step seems to increase conflict and the second
may still entail conflict to some extent, this step calls for consistent
vigilance against it. I have already told you that you can be as vigilant
against the ego as for it. This lesson teaches not only that you can be, but
that you must be. It does not concern itself with order of difficulty,
but with clear-cut priority for vigilance. This lesson is unequivocal in that
it teaches there must be no exceptions, although it does not deny that the
temptation to make exceptions will occur. Here, then, your consistency is
called on despite chaos. Yet chaos and consistency cannot coexist for long,
since they are mutually exclusive. As long as you must be vigilant against
anything, however, you are not recognizing this mutual exclusiveness, and still
believe that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose,
the Holy Spirit will ultimately teach you that you need not choose at all.
This will finally liberate your mind from choice, and direct it towards creation
within the Kingdom.
....
Choosing through the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom.
You create by your true being, but what you are you must learn to remember.
The way to remember it is inherent in the third step, which brings together the
lessons implied in the others, and goes beyond them towards real integration.
If you allow yourself to have in your mind only what God put there, you are
acknowledging your mind as God created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as
it is. Since it is whole, you are teaching peace because you believe
in it. The final step will still be taken for you by God, but by the third
step the Holy Spirit has prepared you for God. He is getting you ready for
the translation of having into being by the very nature of the
steps you must take with Him.
....
You learn first that having rests on giving, and not on
getting. Next you learn that you learn what you teach, and that you want to
learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom, since it
is the condition of the Kingdom. You have believed that you are
without the Kingdom, and have therefore excluded yourself from it in your
belief. It is therefore essential to teach you that you must be included, and
that the belief that you are not is the only thing that you must exclude.
....
The third step is thus one of protection for your mind, allowing
you to identify only with the center, where God placed the altar to Himself.
Altars are beliefs, but God and His creations are beyond belief because they
are beyond question. The Voice for God speaks only for belief beyond
question, which is the preparation for being without question. As long
as belief in God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your mind, His perfect
accomplishment is not apparent to you. This is why you must be vigilant on
God's behalf. The ego speaks against His creation, and therefore engenders
doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you believe fully.
....
To teach the whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that
you perceive its wholeness, and have learned that it is one. Now you must be
vigilant to hold its oneness in your mind because, if you let doubt enter, you
will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to teach it. The
wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but your awareness
of its wholeness does. It is only your awareness that needs protection, since
being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours while you
are doubtful of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts
about being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with
certainty. Certainty is of God for you. Vigilance is not necessary for
truth, but it is necessary against illusions.
....
Truth is without illusions and therefore within the Kingdom.
Everything outside the Kingdom is illusion. When you threw truth away you saw
yourself as if you were without it. By making another kingdom that you
valued, you did not keep only the ....Kingdom.. of ..God....
in your mind, and thus placed part of your mind outside it. What you made has
imprisoned your will, and given you a sick mind that must be healed. Your
vigilance against this sickness is the way to heal it. Once your mind is
healed it radiates health, and thereby teaches healing. This establishes you
as a teacher who teaches like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of
you, and those who choose to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what
they believe.
....
The third step, then, is a statement of what you want to
believe, and entails a willingness to relinquish everything else. The Holy
Spirit will enable you to take this step, if you follow Him. Your vigilance
is the sign that you want Him to guide you. Vigilance does require
effort, but only until you learn that effort itself is unnecessary. You have
exerted great effort to preserve what you made because it was not true.
Therefore, you must now turn your effort against it. Only this can cancel out
the need for effort, and call upon the being which you both have and are
. This recognition is wholly without effort since it is already true and
needs no protection. It is in the perfect safety of God. Therefore, inclusion
is total and creation is without limit. ....

The following is my answer to a beautiful question from a beautiful student and friend.
Q “You once told me you go to a place that is not of this
earth. This is hard to believe, but I read about it in the Gita. How can I
attain the spiritual world? Thru meditation? There is a lot of reading to do…?”
.. ..
A “ I just Love.
How do you attain the spiritual world?
Its the same as the "real world" spoken of in the course.
The secret is this!
Its very very simple
but you can easily attain the spiritual world in this way.
The real world or spiritual world, is a world where all is Oneness
and that Oneness is Love.
How do get there?
Its not a place so you don’t really have to get there.
You simply have to allow it to meet your spiritual eye.
This "place" is inside you, as well as is you..
What you value you have, and see.
Love everyone and forgive everything and you enter it wholly.
This seems hard to many right?
So how about this?
I know of another way.
It’s really the same thing but most think it different.
Look within and find this amazing beauty
and that beauty will do all I have mention before.
It will do it so naturally and so beautifully and you will just
enjoy the ride.
In truth that beauty is so so precious that you will value that more then
anything.
You will value it more then your petty grievances and wishes
for attack .
You can’t have them both.
You must choose Love or Fear/attack.
This Love?
You will see it in yourself, as yourself for it is your SELF.
Yet the funny thing is that it is YOU but you will start to see it flow from
all things.
You will see it smile back at you from a "strangers" lips and you
will feel it in the morning Sun.
You will see it everywhere and this will prove that all is One.
Where is the sickness of separation and Lack of Love, when all the Love of God
is
with you as you??”
.. ..
You know this reminds me of an amazing teaching Jesus shared
with us.
Remember “Him whom lives by the sword dies by the sword” ?
Most heard this yet not one in a million understood it
completely.
.. ..
Live by attack and fear and you will die by it, yet live thru
love and “you shall not taste death.”
How can you "not taste death."? This love I speak of its eternal. This Love is really what you are. When you reconnect to this Love you know that what you are is timeless.
What you are is precious. What you are is eternal. What you are is Love.
.. ..
Really look at this.
If you can understand this completely you will be amazed at what you see…
.. ..
Attack nothing for if you see anything worthy of attack so
will you attack yourself.
“Judge not for as you Judge shall you be judged”.
.. ..
Yet if you ALLOW love, so shall you understand it has always
been with you.
So now the question may be how can you love so many?
.. ..
Simple..
Ask that love be all that you allow, and so it shall be.
.. ..
Our choices have so much power that we don’t understand.
Our choices create our reality.
.. ..
Choose Love and it will be all you see.
It will keep you safe and care for you and it will open up the
gates of heaven
So you can simply step in..
.. ..
I love
.. ..
Love is~

The only part of your mind that has reality is the part that
links you still with God. 2 Would you have all of it transformed into a
radiant message of God's Love, to share with all the lonely ones who
have denied Him? 3
God makes this possible. 4 Would you deny
His yearning to be known? 5 You yearn for Him, as He for you. 6 This is
forever changeless. 7 Accept, then, the immutable. 8 Leave the world of
death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. 9 There is nothing of value
here, and everything of value there. 10 Listen to the Holy Spirit, and
to God through Him. 11 He speaks of you to
you.
12 There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son as the Son is blessed in Him.
Everyone has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each one is always the same;
God's Son is guiltless.
2 Each one teaches the message differently, and learns it differently.
3 Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim
awareness that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. 4 The
burden of guilt is heavy, but God would not have you bound by it. 5 His
plan for your awaking is as perfect as yours is fallible. 6 You know
not what you do, but He Who knows is with you. 7 His gentleness is
yours, and all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. 8
He would teach you nothing except how to be happy.
Blessed Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy
was created for you. 2 Who can condemn whom God has blessed? 3 There is
nothing in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence. 4
Creation is the natural extension of perfect purity. 5 Your only
calling here is to devote yourself, with active willingness, to the
denial of guilt in all its forms. 6 To accuse is
not to understand. 7 The happy learners
of the Atonement become the teachers of the innocence that is the right
of all that God created. 8 Deny them not what is their due, for you
will not withhold it from them alone.
The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right
of God's Son, given him in his creation. 2 Do not try to steal it from
him, or you will ask for guilt and will experience it. 3 Protect his
purity from every thought that would steal it away and keep it from his
sight. 4 Bring innocence to light, in answer to the call of the
Atonement. 5 Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the
heavy veils of guilt within which the Son of God has hidden himself
from his own sight.
We are all joined in the Atonement here, and
nothing else can unite us in this world. 2 So will the world of
separation slip away, and full communication be restored between the
Father and the Son. 3 The miracle acknowledges the guiltlessness that
must have been denied to produce the need of healing. 4 Do not withhold
this glad acknowledgment, for hope of happiness and release from
suffering of every kind lie in it. 5 Who is there but wishes to be free
of pain? 6 He may not yet have learned how to exchange guilt for
innocence, nor realize that only in this exchange can freedom from pain
be his. 7 Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not attack.
8 To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn from
them.
Teachers of innocence, each in his own way,
have joined together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of
the Atonement. 2 There is no unity of learning goals apart from this. 3
There is no conflict in this curriculum, which has one aim however it
is taught. 4 Each effort made on its behalf is offered for the single
purpose of release from guilt, to the eternal glory of God and His
creation. 5 And every teaching that points to this points straight to
Heaven, and the peace of God. 6 There is no pain, no trial, no fear
that teaching this can fail to overcome. 7 The power of God Himself
supports this teaching, and guarantees its limitless results.
Join your own efforts to the power that
cannot fail and must result in peace. 2 No one can be untouched by
teaching such as this. 3 You will not see yourself beyond the power of
God if you teach only this. 4 You will not be exempt from the effects
of this most holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right
of God's creation. 5 From everyone whom you accord release from guilt
you will inevitably learn your innocence. 6 The circle of Atonement has
no end. 7 And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe
inclusion in the circle with everyone you bring within its safety and
its perfect peace.
Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a
teacher of peace. 2 For peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity,
from which no one is excluded. 3 Within its holy circle is everyone
whom God created as His Son. 4 Joy is its unifying attribute, with no
one left outside to suffer guilt alone. 5 The power of God draws
everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. 6 Stand quietly within
this circle, and attract all tortured minds to join with you in the
safety of its peace and holiness. 7 Abide with me within it, as a
teacher of Atonement, not of guilt.
Blessed are you who teach with me. 2 Our
power comes not of us, but of our Father. 3 In guiltlessness we know
Him, as He knows us guiltless. 4 I stand within the circle, calling you
to peace. 5 Teach peace with me, and stand with me on holy ground. 6
Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has given him. 7
Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. 8 Stand not
outside, but join with me within. 9 Fail not the only purpose to which
my teaching calls you. 10 Restore to God His Son as He created him, by
teaching him his innocence.
The crucifixion had no part in the
Atonement. 2 Only the resurrection became my part in it. 3 That is the
symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness. 4 Whom you perceive
as guilty you would crucify. 5 Yet you restore guiltlessness to
whomever you see as guiltless. 6 Crucifixion is always the ego's aim. 7
It sees everyone as guilty, and by its condemnation it would kill. 8
The Holy Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness He would
release from fear and re-establish the reign of love. 9 The power of
love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore cannot crucify
nor suffer crucifixion. 10 The temple you restore becomes your altar,
for it was rebuilt through you. 11 And everything you give to God is
yours. 12 Thus He creates, and thus must you restore.
Each one you see you place within the holy
circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit for crucifixion
or for redemption. 2 If you bring him into the circle of purity, you
will rest there with him. 3 If you leave him without, you join him
there. 4 Judge not except in quietness which is not of you. 5 Refuse to
accept anyone as without the blessing of Atonement, and bring him into
it by blessing him. 6 Holiness must be shared, for therein lies
everything that makes it holy. 7 Come gladly to the holy circle, and
look out in peace on all who think they are outside. 8 Cast no one out,
for here is what he seeks along with you. 9 Come, let us join him in
the holy place of peace which is for all of us, united as one within
the Cause of peace.

The Atonement does not make holy. 2 You were created holy. 3
It merely brings unholiness to holiness; or what you made to what you
are. 4 Bringing illusion to truth, or the ego to God, is the Holy
Spirit's only function. 5 Keep not your making from your Father, for
hiding it has cost you knowledge of Him and of yourself. 6 The
knowledge is safe, but where is your safety apart from it? 7 The making
of time to take the place of timelessness lay in the decision to be not
as you are. 8 Thus truth was made past, and the present was dedicated
to illusion. 9 And the past, too, was changed and interposed between
what always was and now. 10 The past that you remember never was, and
represents only the denial of what always was.
Bringing the ego to God is but to bring
error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite of
what it meets. 2 It is undone because the contradiction can no longer
stand. 3 How long can contradiction stand when its impossible nature is
clearly revealed? 4 What disappears in light is not attacked. 5 It
merely vanishes because it is not true. 6 Different realities are
meaningless, for reality must be one. 7 It cannot change with time or
mood or chance. 8 Its changelessness is what makes it real. 9 This
cannot be undone. 10 Undoing is for unreality. 11 And this reality will
do for you.
Merely by being what it is, does truth
release you from everything that it is not. 2 The Atonement is so
gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to your
assistance and support. 3 You are not frail with God beside you. 4 Yet
without Him you are nothing. 5 The Atonement offers you God. 6 The gift
that you refused is held by Him in you. 7 The Holy Spirit holds it
there for you. 8 God has not left His altar, though His worshippers
placed other gods upon it. 9 The temple still is holy, for the Presence
that dwells within it
is
Holiness.
In the temple, Holiness waits quietly for the return of them
that love it. 2 The Presence knows they will return to purity and to
grace. 3 The graciousness of God will take them gently in, and cover
all their sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their
Father's Love. 4 There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of
life. 5 For God is life, and they abide in life. 6 Life is as holy as
the Holiness by which it was created. 7 The Presence of Holiness lives
in everything that lives, for Holiness created life, and leaves not
what It created holy as Itself.
In this world you can become a spotless
mirror, in which the Holiness of your Creator shines forth from you to
all around you. 2 You can reflect Heaven here. 3 Yet no reflections of
the images of other gods must dim the mirror that would hold God's
reflection in it. 4 Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the ego. 5
You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of
hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. 6 God will shine upon it of
Himself. 7 Only the clear reflection of Himself can be perceived upon
it.
Reflections are seen in light. 2 In darkness
they are obscure, and their meaning seems to lie only in shifting
interpretations, rather than in themselves. 3 The reflection of God
needs no interpretation. 4 It is clear. 5 Clean but the mirror, and the
message that shines forth from what the mirror holds out for everyone
to see, no one can fail to understand. 6 It is the message that the
Holy Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him. 7 He recognizes it
because he has been taught his need for it, but knows not where to look
to find it. 8 Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you.
Could you but realize for a single instant
the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can
bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your
mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the world. 2
The image of holiness that shines in your mind is not obscure, and will
not change. 3 Its meaning to those who look upon it is not obscure, for
everyone perceives it as the same. 4 All bring their different problems
to its healing light, and all their problems find but healing there.
The response of holiness to any form of
error is always the same. 2 There is no contradiction in what holiness
calls forth. 3 Its one response is healing, without regard for what is
brought to it. 4 Those who have learned to offer only healing, because
of the reflection of holiness in them, are ready at last for Heaven. 5
There, holiness is not a reflection, but rather the actual condition of
what was but reflected to them here. 6 God is no image, and His
creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. 7 They do not
merely reflect truth, for they
are
truth.
