Confidence

I see you led me to the word “confidence.” What message about confidence am I to know now?

The idea of confidence requires more clarity. Self confidence is not faith in the mistaken identity or personality. Lo, instead, Self confidence is a state of Being that reflects beyond all illusions. It arises from the willingness to leave your judgment and fear behind. Quite literally, the word confidence means “with trust.” As you have already realized, the cornerstone of faith is trust. Without trust, there can be no faith and without faith, you stand guard over the door to healing the mind.

Ask yourself in whom do you desire to have trust? If it is your ideas of self-limitation, than surely only fear will result. All invitations for accepting the miracle have you choose between love and fear. When you choose to trust in God, you open the door to allowing His Holiness to reflect through you. Accepting this brilliance can be done only through the release of all illusions since there is no compromise between Truth and illusions.

Confidence is a feeling that extends as you discover the wholeness of Who You Are. To know your Self is to be confident in Truth. It is to accept the wholeness of God within you and to extend this wholeness in all ways. Here, you place your faith in a clear and present state of Being, rather than a fearful restricted humanness.

Trust is always certain. Truly, who could fully accept anything without certainty in what they were receiving? Therefore, as we allow ourselves to yield from fear and doubt to trust and acceptance, we are gaining the entirety of Heaven. A lack of trust is merely the sign of a confused mind. This mind is uncertain and so has no clear awareness of Who it is or where it belongs. You belong in God. It is only the uncertain mind that does not know. Therefore, when you notice experiences lacking trust, remind yourself where you belong and seek to regain this awareness with me. Give all uncertainty to me and I shall always lead you Home.Too often the thinking mind attempts to figure out a solution to uncertainty. This wish to control is doubt. A doubting mind always asks questions in search of its own reclamation of certainty. Doubt never finds
what it is seeking simply because it does not know what it is looking for. Doubt is always a blind search. In most states of doubt, the mind will ask questions and seek evidence. However, these questions and evidence are always rooted in a pre-existing fear and uncertain understanding of what it truly seeks from this proof. This is why I am unable to answer most of your questions to your satisfaction.

Let’s take the example of the most popular question, “how did the impossible occur?” This question is simply unanswerable for the very reasons shared above. Any answer given would require not only making the impossible possible, but an answer considered “acceptable” would affirm the possibility of more impossible. Can you see the contradiction here?

When you choose doubt over certainty, you choose not to know your Self. Truly, it is that simple. However, remember, there is no sin associated with this choice. It is all merely a misunderstanding, corrected by forgiveness. Hear me well; I do not judge your progress towards faith or dances with uncertainty. Truly I only see and know the Self-confidence in our Being. Indeed, I already know Who You Are. Do not hinder yourself with projections of guilt or attempts to judge. My love for you outshines all mistaken identities. As you choose to believe in fear no longer, accepting that fear is not Who You Are, you shall desire to release for peace naturally.

A perfect example of this transformation is seen through the story of Doubting Thomas. Oh, and by the way, it is a story. This parable was actually written and relayed by Judas himself. It is his story of affirming faith beyond the ego’s perceptions. Here, Thomas was unwilling to accept the appearance of the resurrected body of Jesus without proof. Symbolically, this is representative of how Thomas invested so firmly in the belief in death (loss, limitation, ego’s perceptions) that any ideas of being the Holiness of God beyond his thinking mind seemed impossible. “I was always demanding proof only because I was uncertain of my Self and where Jesus was going with His teachings.” He continued, “Fear seemed so much more willing than peace. It presented louder within my mind and stated question after question without respite. My rest occurred when I was willing to yield to faith and trust beyond the doubt that sought proof in form. Here, I finally stepped out of my own way, yielding to God and accepting Holiness as the only way, truth and life. This indeed was my own witness of resurrection.”

The mistaken identity always believes that illusion is more real than Truth. Again, this is simply and innocently because it does not know. Therefore the acceptance of trust and faith are necessary. Trust and faith initiate from your willingness to admit that your best thinking got you as far as you can currently identify. This is the acceptance of forgiveness for all, recognizing that indeed you do not know. In this moment, of clear recognition, you gain awareness of Self-confidence emitting beyond illusion. Indeed this is the realization of light beyond any thought of you.

This Self-confidence awaits you now. However, it is not anything apart from Who You Are in Truth. Trust in this and you trust in eternity to lead the way. Trust in eternity and all we are as One becomes known. Remember Beloved. See me reaching out my hand now. I invite you to the Light of Self-confidence. This is the Light of Truth. Let us stand in our glory as One. I love you. My Light as it is Your Own.
