Forgiveness: Who Are WE Really Forgiving?

Good Morning Everyone,

Recently I've been brought to my wee knees in a realization that first rocked me, then relieved me. I want to share it with you.

Over the past few weeks, I've been vexed by several different situations.

One involved a dear friend, whose personal situation really made me mad. Her situation didn't affect me in anyway, shape or form, but that she found herself in her situation really angered me.

Another involved two dear friends of mine, married for a very long time, whose personal dynamic between themsevles angered me.

Then, two situations involving me, where people failed to live up to their agreements, but also failed to realize how much value I had put into the situation, ignored that, and then, demanded even more of me as if I'd given nothing.

I tell you these things, because I know that I am just like you. I walk through my days endeavoring to do my very best, to be more Godlike, to bring more love into the world and then, bam! Like Wylie Coyote, I find myself a puddle at the base of a wall wondering what the heck happened here.

The "wall" was my inability to forgive. Everyday across America we pray: "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." All of us know these words, and pray them, but today I understand them. This is what I want to share with you today.

Joel Goldsmith in his book, The Thunder of Silence, addresses forgiveness by saying that it is fundamental to forgivesomething that someone has perpetrated upon us by praying for our enemies. This is important and utterly essential if we want to see a changed world. However, the spiritual journey is about liberty and freedom. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

So the real spiritual journey is not about becoming good humans, but rather to realize our freedom. We need nothing from anyone. We release everyone from their obligations, when we realize our Oneness with Source, where everything is complete, fulfilled and whole. No one need to be or do something for our happiness.

My big Ah-Ha! this morning was that any block in consciousness is an impediment to the realization of Oneness,not just hatred or anger. The obvious blocks are :he did this to me, but I choose to forgive and turn my cheek. But that's just the beginning of the True meaning.

The rest of it is that any "judgment" on someone else: he/she didn't try hard enough, therefore didn't meet my expectations, do enough and so fell short in someway - these are seeing something other than God. This is buying into the belief of two powers, not One. This is the "lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil" part. The temptation to believe that there is anything other than God, Source, Oneness.

Now, for the explosive kicker. By the Law of Attraction, these people, situations and dramas came into my personal experience one after the other, increasing the emotion of anger within me. By last night if I could have left myself, I would have. Instead, I went for a swim in the light of the full moon and asked for illumination, which I received this morning.

These people, these circumstances came to me by the Law of Attraction. Like attracting like thoughts. These people, these circumstances are my mirror: they reflect back to me what I am thinking, believing about....me. Holy smokes.

Only once before can I recall feeling this conviction so clearly. All at once I know it is True ;and it doesn't feel good to realize that which I perceive is me. I mean, UGH!

But I pressed on this morning, because I want released from this prison of 'ugh 'that I've been feeling. I have kept myself in bondage; but the key to the prison door was in the realization that I hold these self same judgments, which I have transposed on to my friends, on myself. Oh, double ARG! And then, double Ah-HA! Relief.

So it is not just forgiving others my perception of their shortcomings after all. In Truth I am to forgive myself - releasing myself from my own judgments and condemnations of my shortcomings and failings.

Forgive me for failing to see that my human self is not, after all, Who I REally Am.

So, miraculously once I got that big twig out of my own eye, I am able to see that the human self that others show me (my own human self) is not Who They Really Are and is certainly not Who I Really Am. That I was tempted to see something other than God, in them, showed me that I am seeing something other than God in myself. It is I who have bought into the human belief of duality - something other than Source.

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Forgive me for failing to see my own Oneness, Who I Really Am; and forgive those who fail to see the God in me.

This is why we pray for our enemies: they are a gift to us. They are our mirror to show us our own consciousness blocks which block our own Realization of Oneness and block our liberty.

Such Perfection for which I am grateful...and now I am relieved and feel Good once again.

Thanks for reading!

Girl's Heart Heals Itself: Of Course

Good Day Everyone!

I love it; I love it; I love it! Proof positive that the body's default position is Well Being and Health.

Meet Hannah Clark and check out her story as published in the Guardian in the UK.

In a world of mesmerization, illusions come and go: the illusion of disease, the illusion of lack, the illusion of loneliness, the illusion of all manner of not well being. They are as many as the human mind can conjure and create. We are creators of our reality, every bit of it.

So in comes Light Being, Hannah Clark who conjures a fatal heart condition. Her True Intention: to show us all that we live in a world of illusion and that we can, in fact, heal ourselves.

Doctors are amazed, some calling it a 'miracle'. But these events, folks, are merely a portent of the consciousness that is growing on planet Earth: the realization of Oneness with God - that we are, indeed, God, Itself, having a physical adventure.

Somehow, Hannah was able to align her human mind with Godmind, closing the gap on the illusion of separation from Source. When that is achieved, the fullness of God is realized on Earth.

It's a journey of consciousness not mind.

When one can raise the human consciousness to realize his/her Truth of Being, God, then all things are added unto him. "The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." - Psalm 24:1

I and my Father are One. John 10:30.

Let us stop trying to think with our limited human minds, but rather achieve the Christed Consciousness - the mind that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many other achieved whilst in the body. It is available to everyone. Indeed, our individual Godchip is already living that Reality right now. All that we need do is align our human consciousness with It.

Then, these 'miracles' will be what we expect - Well Being, Harmony, Health, Prosperity - the fullness of God, which we already are.

Infinite Supply - Flowing God Through to Others

Good Morning Everyone,

There is a really lovely story from McClatchy News this morning about charitable giving - the poor are the most generous givers. I knew that, because I've seen it. What is lovely is to see it as a story on mainstream media. Go over there right now, click on the link, and read the story.

In this Great Recession we are seeing and experiencing vast shifts in what we value and how we see money.

Money is a construct of man. It became a convenient way for us to exchange value for value when hauling fur pelts and gold nuggets became impractical. It represented on paper or by coin or by check or bank draft - a numerical value. A number. A number vibrates to a certain frequency. Money represents a frequency of energy. Energy is God.

However, somewhere along the line, we got the idea of money and wealth confused, all knotted up with other values and beliefs that have to do with lack, and society, prestige, personal worth and value as a human being, and power, just to name a few of the human-mind ideas about money.

Money is like anything else, it is an expression of God. No more, no less. It is Energy, just like breath, just like food, just like love.

Asked why the poor are so generous, Christie Zerrudo, a cashier who handles Filipino remittances at Manila Oriental, a grocery/restaurant/remittance agency in Arlington, offered this explanation:

"It gives the heart comfort when you sit down at the end of the day, and you know that you did your part," Zerrudo said. "... you love them, they are your family, and your love has had an expression."

Cast your bread upon the waters, we are instructed. Give. Give what you have, because you can.

There is a physics component to this as well as an emotional component. The physics component obeys the Laws of Inertia and Momentum. When you give, allow something to flow forth from you...you are moving physical energy. Done enough, you create momentum and what you cast forth, flows back to you in proportion to your consciousness of it. The emotional component tells you that it feels Good to give, because you can, and that you are in alignment with God - Source Energy. It if feels Good; you are aligned with your True Self, who knows you're True Wealth and Abundance; this is the Christed Consciousness of Infinite Supply.

In 1 Kings 17:11-14 we are told the story of the poor woman who is asked by Elijah to bring him a piece of bread. She has but a little, but she makes the bread and finds that neither the meal nor the oil runs out. Infinite Supply. She flowed forth what she had, feeling full and rich, and so she was with plenty.

In the same principle Jesus was asked at the wedding to feed the guests, but it appeared that there wasn't enough food for them all (the human mind consciousness). Jesus giving thanks, breaks the bread and feeds them all with plenty, because he is of the Christed Consciousness - realizing his Oneness with Source - flowing Infinite Supply through him to the wedding tables.

This is the consciousness we are striving to achieve: the Christed Conscious, which realizes our Oneness with God, and that is Infinite Supply.

The consciousness of God is the I AM of each and every person. Within each of us is Infinite Supply.

How we achieve this is by seeing the God, Source Energy, in everything and everyone around us, and realizing it is the consciousness within us that both sees It and manifests our every requirement.

The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Indeed. You are the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Spend your efforts attaining the Christed Consciousness, your manifestations will be beyond your human-mind's wildest dreams.

What have you? Give it freely without expectation of reward. Give it in secret. But give it out of the conscious realization that God is your Supply, which is the I AM consciousness of your Self.

Christ Is A Consciousnes

Good Morning Everyone,

Recently I've been reading a really great book written by Depak Chopra, one of my heroes in life.
It's called, The Third Jesus, The Christ We Cannot Ignore. Bless him, for he has the eloquence and perspicacity to write the things I've espoused since I was a young girl.

Evidently Chopra, who was raised in India, was schooled in the Catholic Church by missionaries. He is open-minded and has the vantage point of blending different schools of thought: Buddhist teachings with ancient Ayurvedic Medicine and Christianity with Western Medicine. His mind looks for the Truth, which is usually found in the commonalities.

I've had the privilege of meeting Chopra twice, although I doubt he would remember me. But the first time was just after I had written my first book. I had written on my "knowing". I had no evidence that what I knew to be True was fact. In listening to the lecture, he began putting the science beneath my "knowing". I remember sitting in the audience with tears streaming down my face. Thank you, I thought. For the Western World is all about science and facts, dismissing "knowing" as heresy and airy fairy. This one man has done more for bridging the nonphysical world and the physical world as well as the spiritual world the religious world.

In his most recent book he takes the four gospels and isolates the words that are directly attributed to Jesus and talks about them in terms of not literal, but in higher consciousness.

As I was listening to the book, the same phenomenon occurred with me, the tears were streaming down my little cheeks. I have always felt Jesus as a guide, not a savior. I have always thought of him as sort of a "big brother". The kind that is infinitely compassionate and willing to take his little sister on his journey, or show her the Way.

In the 1990's I was doing a type of chiropractic called Network, created by Donny Epstein. It is a very esoteric type of work, encouraging the Life Force to move up through the spine and as It does, it reveals the beliefs and behavior patterns that block the Truth. During many of those "clear outs" as they are called, this figure, Jesus would come to me and assist in my clearings. He was always jovial and easy natured, laughing quickly and cajoling me in my seriousness. Once we were swinging from swings hung on the stars. I remember him pointing to this giant patch of light on Earth. "See there," he smiled at me, "that's your life." This is the way I have felt about Jesus. He has and does come to me in other ways, as well. To help me build Trust in the Universe, he has had me mentally stand on the brink of the Grand Canyon, backwards. He walks out into the air and tells me to fall backwards. This little exercise took about 6 months before I could do it mentally. When I had achieved that, he moved out from behind me, standing now in front of me, and told me to fall backwards again, into the arms of All That Is, or God. That one took another 6 months, until I could realize that I am totally loved and supported without Him intervening in any way.

I have been very concerned about Christianity. At one point in my studies in the 1990's I undertook reading European History in order to find out what went wrong. It's a dismal account of the history of the church and the men that would use religion as a means of power. I grew up in the Eastern Orthodox Church, "the original church", but missed all the human-mind dogma as the sermons and scriptures were recited in Serbian. This, I now realize, was the ultimate blessing.

When I began my personal investigation into my own spirituality, I "knew" it was about Love.
I was so confused about the human version that I saw demonstrated around me, vs. my own knowing. When I wanted to get married, my priest could not marry us because my husband-to-be was not Orthodox, and the Bishop would not give his consent. At 19 years old I challenged the priest, "Who do you work for? The Bishop or God?" Always I've had this deep, profound understanding that religion was not God; and it is certainly not spirituality.

This is the time. It is now. All things that are not grounded in Truth will wash away as they were built on sand. Things grounded in Universal Truth, or God, will stand. Jesus was not a Christian. Jesus was a man, who in his lifetime, awakened to his true identity and achieved the Christed consciousness. This is what he asked us to do then, and is ready, willing and able to help us do now, individually. This is not a group activity, it is personal, intimate, and uniquely yours.

Applied Spirituality is the term I have coined to point the way for the individual to do that personal, intimate journey back into Oneness for him or her self. Like Jesus, I can only be a guide, I am not the map; nor is Jesus.

At the core of each of us is that Godchip, that Godchip is in the Field of Consciousness - the highest Field of Consciousness. We contact that, and It guides our way perfectly. This is applied spirituality, living the Christed Consciousness in the physical body like Jesus did, and Buddha and Krishna and others. You are perfectly wired for this journey in consciousness.

Depak refers to the Gnostic Gospels in his book. I'm going to read those.

Thanks for reading!
