Wishes

Beloved Holy Spirit, I don’t want to live by this story anymore!

So let go of your judgments. Be willing to let go of every idea that is continually writing the script, assigning characters their roles and valuing the scenery as real. Your freedom to decide is always there, and is never dependent on the outer scene to change. Truly, it is not the outer scene that writes the story. The story always supports the outer scene. Without the script, the story could not be told. Be at peace as you watch the story and then you become the observer, not the actor. See how you split yourself between the roles of actor and director and you will see how the story’s contents so heavily (if not entirely) depend upon your wishes.

I wish for peace.

Be peace. There is a difference. Remember, only the ego wants, as it sees itself needing. However, You ARE peace. This is not fulfilled through wishes. The peace You are simply IS. The conditions you feel rule your world only rule your mind.

Wow. I so wish to believe that truth.

You ARE that Truth. Beloved One, step away from wishes and allow yourself to rest in the awareness of the moment. Wishing depends on wanting. Wanting depends on vacancy. Truly, you cannot have a single wish unless you already denied your current reality. Truly, if you were to fully accept your current Truth, your current Reality, there would be no need to wish for anything more or less.

Thank you for pointing this out to me. It is such an important remembrance.

It is, even if you forget. Trust that all You are is always flowing perfectly despite your sight or script. Accepting this awareness is trust. Trust is the centerpoint to release and the willingness to accept the miracle. You cannot accept the miracle as long as you seek to control it or make demands upon it. You cannot accept the miracle as long as you have stories stating why and how the miracle must play out. That is pure conflict. See the ego in this, for only the ego is conflict. Wish not, rest now. Again, do not worry so much about who is in your bed. Notice instead what you lay with in the bed of your mind.

And so I must surrender all to You.

You must simply rest. That is all. If you were to push anything forcefully into my hands, notice how this is also another shadow of judgment. “Here!” you say, “Take this!!!” Tell me, Beloved, what peace is there in that statement??

I see what you are saying. If I’m pushing something off to you, especially demanding to see peace within it, I’ve already made a judgment.

Yes, you have already made the judgment of the idea, experience or moment to be wrong. Then, after the judgment, you wish to remove the frustration, sadness or insecurity from the moment. As you wish to remove the frustration, sadness or insecurity from the moment, you must FIRST decide that frustration, sadness and/or insecurity are real and can hurt you. It is essential that you look at this contradictive presentation. When Jeshua was in the Garden of Gestheme prior to accepting the next part in his story, he asked me first (in fact, begged me first) to “take this cup from me!” Here is a wonderful statement exemplifying how you in faith still cling to judgment and desperation. You cannot have judgment and desperation without fear. You cannot have these conditions without first accepting the illusory self as real and able to be harmed. Jeshua went into deep prayer and meditation three times until he realized this Truth. He realized that first he had to stop investing in the story before he could truly know peace. The story told him (as it has recently told you) that you can lose. The story plays out all beliefs in loss and limitation because this is what the storyteller believes. However, are you merely another character of the storyteller, or do you sit peacefully in the audience knowing the story is not real.

And so do you see how that thought of disappointment you just had was merely because of a preconceived judgment of what should be? This is still living in the story. Do not chastize yourself for these wishes Beloved. It is not bad or wrong to believe in the story. However, take a moment to breathe and simply see the dependency that which you perceive as long as you continue to make the story real. As Jeshua begged for me to “take this cup from me,” my only response is / was “what cup?” This does not mean that I belittle or mock your beliefs. Truly, I love and honor all You are. See this honor and you will see the key. I know who You are. You are not the cup, nor are you the story. I do not mock or pretend not to see all you believe. I do see all you believe, however I truly do know what is real, and in love I witness only for the Truth of You.

Likewise, you are not in the conceptual state of mind to say, “what ego?” That is denial, pure and simple. Seek not to fool yourself. Covering your eyes in a room full of hungry alligators will not make them disappear. Instead, be gentle with yourself. Seek not to feed the gators, nor seek to do battle with them. Simply be still and you will be able to come to a state of perfect inner presence and here you will be at peace with the alligators. The more you become still, the more the hazard will fade away like mists before the sun. Here, gently and quietly you lovingly allow your Self to lead you from the room.

So it is okay for me to say that I believe in the story?

Yes, deny nothing. You believe in the story, or else this portrayal of all characters would not flow forth before your sight. If you did not believe in the story, you would have no reason to argue against it. Nor would you have any reason to convince anyone else to deny their own story. Again, it is perfectly acceptable to realize how much you believe in the story. However, can you be still throughout it? Can you still your mind and offer love through the portrayal, accepting how all is safe, free and endlessly loved. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to recognize the story, but likewise realize the love through it. Honor the story with appreciation and peace and you honor your Self despite its wishes. Ahhh, yes, love yourself for the story.

I can say, “what cup?” because I know the Truth of You. My honor is with You and I lovingly support all you believe without judgment or contradiction. This presence is seeing the peace beyond the imagery and truly, in this presence you are safe. If you are having issues with the “what cup” idea… see instead the cup as a prop. Truly, even if you feel you hold and drink from it, there are no contents to its substance. If you choose to use the cup or feel it within your hands, take a moment to step back from the image and merely begin to notice how light it is. The lightness of the cup is not just a witness to its illusory quality, the light of the cup shares the Light of You. Dream of a cup and you still remain as God Created.

Okay.. wow.. I think I can see this. I can see myself holding this cup, yet also feeling it weightless within my hands. Now I see a light flowing forth from within it. Now, I see how the light out shines the boundaries of the cup’s outline. Now, I see only light within my hands. Yes… this is perfect. Thank you.

Stay with this image and know you are free. I love you.
