Day Twenty-One: November 25th, 2007
Before we begin today, I would like you to re-read the guidance I provided for you yesterday and to listen once again to the teaching on prayer. As you listen, take notes. See where you can allow your mind to focus through it. This guidance will help you practice Devotion in a clearer manner. For the Infinite Way is the American version of this Devotional practice. It shall guide your path now. Use its guidance to help you release and move through out your daily experiences. Notice all the moments that you can have God on your mind, but not through your thinking. These devotions will bring you a greater peaceful knowing. Release all needs for results. Do not think of how this needs to be or where it will lead. Trust. Give all thoughts to me and rest your thinking. Delight in following my guidance. Remember this is the calling to a greater joy. Do not worry about judgment, it will continue to lift from you as you trust. Now go listen.
Day Twenty-Two: November 26th, 2007
What should I surrender today?
Rest your mind. This is not a process or ritual. Allow yourself to sink into the stillness. Breathe and quietly be within. Do not seek out distraction. However, if distraction appears to come, realize what your true desire is. Seek to know your true desire today. Seek it out in all places. Share this day with God. He is always with you, as am I. As you notice the thoughts of restraint and judgment, give them to me. You only fear knowing yourself. You fear this release simply because you do not know. However, you do know your Self. You cannot not know. Allow this awareness to rise up within you. You cannot lose anything, you can only know more, be more. I love you.
Day Twenty-Three: November 27th, 2007
I’m feeling a bit of mourning today.
Let go of the feeling that you are not good enough. This feeling has haunted you for some time. It is neither true or purposeful.
How?
Rest within. Trust within. You mourn yourself these feelings when you seek to compare yourself to the outside world. You tell yourself that you need to be like certain brothers or tell stories of how certain brothers are more appreciated, talented, etc. than you. You have nothing to prove Beloved. God’s Son does not live in comparison or needs to prove anything. However, do not see this in the form of ego-defensiveness. We are not here to close ourselves down, but to open our One Self up to its Truth. See your security in your True Self and you will know your Self as not dependent on anything. Remember, only your ego-mind wants to be somebody. This is only because it does not know who it is in Truth. It is dependent on a world to complete it, because it aligns with abandonment and vacancy. Only the ego’s thinking sees itself in need and desires to shine as a separate self in seeking a false completion. You do not need a false completion, because you are complete. You have merely forgotten your completion.
Likewise, do not feel that your self should avert from seeking opportunities to shine either. That would be withdrawing based on judgment. Simply be as you are and trust all can express in purpose. Do not expect the world to define you, do not need the world to complete you, but do not judge the world for seeking to honor you either.
I do feel scared and unworthy. I feel fear in the just the suggestion that the world should honor me. But oddly enough I crave it as well.
This is the insane thinking of the ego. It does not know who it is or what it wants and can only think in terms of extreme counterproductive fears and wills. It needs but fears. Do not seek yourself in need or fear. We are here to release both of these limitations for the ego bases them only on deception and lies. You do not need to lie to yourself, unless you do not want to believe the Truth of Who You Are. Is this your choice?
No.
Then simply seek out the light of all you are. Rest in this Light. Seek to share this Light and see this Light in all. Here you are neither hiding or depending. Here you are not seeking to understand a shadow self through misperception. Here you are simply being. Sound familiar?
Cute.
Yes, that is why I have guided you to these words. They will always be your comfort and guidance. Simply be Beloved. Do not pressure yourself for any more or deplete yourself for any less. Simply be. I love you as I know you to simply be all ways.
Day Twenty- Four: November 28th, 2007
I don’t feel like writing today. But I’ll definitely practice more.
Good. That’s all that matters. Be the love you are. I love you.
Day Twenty – Five: November 29th, 2007
Writing is not as important here as practice. Do not be concerned if you do not feel like writing. This is not the purpose of our joining. Allow yourself to simply notice and engage in the purpose of our endeavor. Here you will find the peace you seek. Remember, we are not seeking rituals or structure. We are seeking a release of all restrictions. Writing practice at times leaves you dependent on your thinking, or attempts to have you figure this all out with your thinking. Thinking is not the purpose here. Resting is. Therefore, notice if you do not want to write and be okay with that choice, rather than judge it. Judgment is never purposeful and does not bring you peace. Rest your mind. Rest your thoughts. Focus more on opening up your heart and feeling me there. I love you.
Day Twenty – Six: November 30th, 2007
Follow your instructions for practice. Center yourself in your heart awareness and allow yourself to be in peace. Do not think about process nor measure your experience. Simply allow. This is the full awareness of surrender, simple allowance. In this allowance, you withdraw from the mind demanding control and sink into awareness without attachment or need. In this space, your peace reigns free. Surrender always takes you out of your thinking mind and into the space of release. It is not with the mind or devices of separation it sees, but with simple awareness of clarity and connection. Ask yourself, do I choose to connect or withdraw? Fear withdraws only because it sees itself vulnerable and at risk. Fear escapes out of its reliance on protection and lack of faith. Faith is securing in willingness and this I cannot give you. Faith will only come when your willingness to have the peace you desire rests beyond your mind. The mind that needs control does not have faith. Why? Because it is still attempting to lead out of fear. It alone believes in attack or the possibility of “doing it wrong.” Remember, Dear One, you cannot do this wrong, you simply can just refuse to do this. Refusing to seek out and practice the peace you yearn for is only to choose illusion. Although this is not purposeful, it is your freedom. I do not chastise you for the choices you invest within, but I will show them to you with clarity. To my knowing, there is no choice, however I will always honor your wishes to see in variance. Can you?
I don’t understand.
Is it not true that you judge yourself for choosing to restrict and restrict yourself for judging? If you were to simply honor yourself for the variance of choices you have invested, you would not be so embattled. You can discover peace first by the release of all judgment and then through the acceptance of the choices you wish to call into existence. Once you accept these choices, you are not resisting them. Consider yourself beyond their restriction and see if there is a wish to choose beyond them. In other words, accept the choices you can have and then permit yourself to find peace beyond them.
You are trying to think your way through this. Don’t think, rest. Again, do not rely on the struggle of thought, but simply allow yourself to honor all that you choose. Take a moment now to rest in your heart. I will guide you. I love you.
