Love's Beginning: Recent Episodes

Love's Beginning is a collection of messages about awakening and relaxing into love in everyday life. I receive the messages from my nonphysical friends in order to help me on my way, but the messages are also for anyone who finds them useful.
Thanks to Rob for inspiring this message. If you would like to receive a message through me, request here.
Miracles don’t change anything real, but they do change your perception. Anything that distresses you is not real, but it is a powerful illusion made with ego thought. Miracles show you what is real in a very reassuring way, and they are available to everyone at all times. Miracles are the true answers to the problems you perceive.

Thanks to Jason for requesting this message. Anyone who wants a message can request one here.
Nothing causes anything else. There is no actual separate cause and effect. Thus, there is no blame. But as a kind solution to the illusion you have made, there is a kind cause and effect to perceive. When the cause and effect you perceive seems harsh, this is the fantasy you have made from thought. Spirit supplies its loving thought as cause, and then you experience the loving effect. It is very simple. When the cause of your experience is ego-thought, it feels harsh. When the cause of your experience is Spirit thought, you feel supported and loved. The resource you choose as cause is always up to you, and this becomes more obvious as you practice.

There is a difference between laughing at the idea that separation could ever be real and laughing separate aspects of a separation that you believe is real. The difference is feeling–the one thing you are capable of judging. In the first case, your laughter releases you into reality. In the second case, you believe that there is something particularly unfortunate about fantasy, treating fantasy as if it is real. When you laugh at the idea that separation could be real, here you Are, safe at Home in Reality. When you laugh at an aspect of the illusion while believing you’re in it, you keep yourself believing it is real.

Meet sameness and safety everywhere you go today. Behind every surface that you see, the sameness here is your safety and the safety of all. Ego judgments are always positive and negative evaluations of surfaces in comparison with each other. Your only peace is beyond all comparison and separation, and it is always available to you and all. Rest here because the invitation to do so is always open.

You are connected with it forever, as are all. From this foundation of what is Real, you will be shown the way. As you are shown, all are shown.

Ego gives you a separate and limited definition of self to fall back on and make your home, and it calls this security. Whenever you feel any degree of tension or stress, this is what is happening–you are attempting to use thought to find a home that can never be your true home. It may seem to be that a person “out there” has a very wrong and unfair view, and this is the cause of your tension, but this is not so. Here you are, separate from that one, with a more accurate view. Here is the limited home of your separate identity you are trying to make safe, but it can never be safe.

How are you going to see someone as they Are when you’re busy defending who they aren’t? Whenever you are busy judging or analyzing someone as separate, whether the judgment seems to be positive or negative, you have lost sight of who they Are. Having lost sight of who they Are, you have lost sight of who you Are because you are the same forever.

Your mind projects things for you to perceive, and then ego offers you thoughts that interpret what you are perceiving. Behind all this, the light is always shining. You are learning to place your primary focus upon and trust in this light. This light guides. This light is what you are, what loves that one called other, and what that other actually is. The reality is always behind the surface. The ego will label surfaces–some good, and some bad. Then you see a drama enacted based upon interpretations of good and bad. Look behind the drama. Here is the light.

Picture this: Two missiles, airborne, one seeming to zoom from point A to point B, and one seeming to zoom from point B to point A. Look at them seeming to hold the clear blue sky together in one moment of stillness. You do not know anything about these objects. You do not know where they have been, where they are going, or what they are used for. They just seem to be here, suspended in sky. That’s it. Nothing else. You know nothing about them.

Unconditional love is what you Are and what all others Are always. If you see anything else in the way, it’s just blocking what is actually here. Whatever is blocking what is actually here always, you made it up. You see in your world what you made up.

Judgments can be undone when they are exposed. Any feeling of tension or stress indicates that you have believed a judgment ego delivered to you. Your best option, always, is to notice the thought that ego offered and that you believed. Taking responsibility for the belief, you can then give it to Spirit. Into the spaciousness revealed by giving ego thought to Spirit, genuinely helpful thoughts can occur to you–ones that are effortless to follow.

Your hatred of or pushing against anyone who seems to be here on Earth is your hatred of and pushing against the nonphysical helpers who are here to assist you. Essentially, it is your hatred of yourself and God. You can’t hate yourself without hating God, because you and God are inextricably joined forever. “Knowing better” than someone is hatred. Being able to analyze someone or their motives is hatred. Breaking down a whole into separate parts that never existed–hatred. Hatred seems to oppose the wholeness of us, but that is all it can do. It can only seem to oppose 💚

Ego doesn’t know anything about anything. It manufactures perception based on the thoughts you believe. When you feel troubled, remember that the cause is manufactured perception. It is never anything real, no matter how real it seems. Remember that there is a force with you, by your side, that can, as you allow it, show you goodness-without-opposite undistorted.

There is only one thing about you that is Real, and that thing is the same thing that is Real about every being without exception. Go inward until you cannot go inward any more, and you are resting in this one real thing, this true dwelling place of all. Your job is to learn how to take all direction from this inward, shared place.

Take your ease in what is actually Here. Nothing of time-space is actually here. This is what you have dreamed into apparent existence. The only thing that can truly be here is goodness-without-opposite, peace unending, and love ever-present. If you are seeing anything else, it means that there is still an impulse to cover up what is Real, what can never be damaged or hurt.

All of the grief you think you see in the world is actually a reflection of all the pain you’ve been holding onto. It seems very real, but the pain and the grief can never be more real than love. They are that which covers up ever-present love, and it is good to feel them because that means you have noticed your attachment to them. When you have noticed your attachment to pain and grief, you can take responsibility for this attachment.

You don’t have to attempt to change a separate self to please someone or to avoid displeasing someone. You are not a separate self, and you gain no value from the pretend separateness, positively or negatively judged, of any self seen through this distorted lens. The one you would please or displease is also seen as separate, which cannot ever be. Focus on what is actual here–that which joins you with the one you would please or displease right now, and all struggle to make an impression on anyone vanishes.

Notice your address. Home is everywhere in everything. Whenever you feel the least twinge of stress or tension, this is ego telling you that your home is in time and space, and your job is to find a form of safety in these limits. What you are learning to do now is to maintain your awareness that all are at Home in light and love right now, despite what senses report.

The only tyranny you can experience is the tyranny you have imposed upon yourself. No matter what the world seems to be doing, no matter what others seem to be doing, it is only an illusion that came at your request.

The world can’t show you anything you lack. It can reflect back a symbol of what you already have. You are here to allow the entire world to reflect back in symbols of peace. Peace is what you Are, and if it is what you Are, it is what everyone you call else Is and always has been, too. Peace is what you all always will be. You cannot escape it, but you can attempt to deny it by distracting yourselves with illusions.

Everything you see and experience is made to order. It is made by you. You can make what you see and experience in time and space under the guidance of what you Are, or you can make it while believing that you are subject to time and space, and that separate aspects of time and space can attack you and others. This is the basic choice of every moment. Trust the guidance of what you Are, and time and space are merely helpers on the way Home, no longer the uncontrollable monsters or granters of wishes that you have believed them to be.

The light is behind everything. The ego sees opposing surfaces and judges them. The ego sees and evaluates surfaces, sorting them into “I want” and “I don’t want.” These are actually the same thing–attachment to and valuing the manufactured surfaces you see in a world. When you are valuing a surface, you are ignoring a shared nature.

Instead of depending on the perception of separate others, you can depend on God. God can inspire all, so what you see is a loving constellation. You are accustomed to depending upon your own perception, the one you invented, the one that can only come from disorder. You perceive nothing real, and you keep yourself in torment because of this.

Resolution of problems is a service you allow to be performed for you. If there is any sense of a separate you with a burden of a problem–a problem you must solve–then rest for a moment and remember that solutions are plentiful and are given to all freely. Solutions are made obvious. Every seeming problem is a chance to see that solutions are made obvious for you because you are always loved. You must go past the perception of your separate autonomy to accept all the solutions available to you now.

Knowing will carry you. It’s not your knowing–a knowing that belongs to a separate you or a separate anyone else. It’s a knowing from Spirit–from our unified identity, that can be expressed through anyone or anything as you allow it. Depending on this universal knowing is always safe.

Don’t be afraid to get into your core hostilities. While they are not truly yours, they seem to be until you have looked upon them with the love of Spirit. If you hide from your core hostilities, you hide from your belief that you are unworthy, which you could release instead. The presence of this belief is always very simply indicated by any feeling of tension or stress, so be honest with yourself.

Wanting someone’s approval is wanting judgment. If you want anyone at all to see you in a specific way, you are asking them to see you as separate. Then it is guaranteed that you will see them as separate. You cannot yearn for approval without the presence of tension, so let your awareness of tension tell you what you are up to in thought. When you become aware that you are seeing something unreal–something that connects two or more separate selves, but not all separate selves, you can remember Reality. The Reality is all perceived selves are joined as one right now.

We’d like to talk to you about the phrase “get your hopes up.” Look at this idea that the appearance of something in form can offer you fulfillment. We are here to tell you that your fulfillment, and the fulfillment of all, is here and now, and it is always available to you. When you focus upon the actual fulfillment of God’s Love that is always available to all in every moment, then you can release all form to Spirit, taking it out of ego’s hands.

I was given this song to start with: "Good Morning Starshine," Oliver
There is less and less for you to do. It just gets done. Your way is obvious. Your path is clear. No matter how many complications seem to clutter up your pathway, presence dissolves each one. There is nothing for you to manage because your entire path has already been laid out for you. Remember that you are always following, and you don't have to pretend that you yourself have to determine the path ahead.

All power is encompassed in this instant. All true power is benign and wholly shared. All power is accessible to all in this moment. Ego thoughts would contradict these truths, and tension tells you that you listen to ego as it contradicts truth. When you listen to and believe thoughts from ego, you would rather see a fantasy of what isn’t instead of acknowledging what is.

Ego finds danger in separate aspects of a world. Ego finds safety in the same. You are noticing that there is unrest in attempting to locate anything at all within separate aspects. At the same time, though, safety is shining through everything you see as separate. You only have to look up and notice.

Reflections of death seemingly outside of you point back to your certainty that death is real, and that it’s a final triumph over God. That is the original point of this world–to prove that death is real, to enact a drama in which fear and pain and death are more powerful than what you Are, than what you extend from eternally. This world is an attempt to put a stop to eternity. And you made it. Because it is an imaginary world, you have done nothing real, and you have done nothing wrong.

People who argue with you are presenting you with the thoughts you believe. We know it seems as if you believe opposite thoughts, but really--what's the difference? All of the opposing thoughts are about an illusion, not a reality. Look a little deeper, though. Let's say that someone is adamantly insisting that the world is flat. They are insisting that the world is a shape and that it is real. This is what you believe. You can stop a moment with this. The only things you can argue about are illusions that you believe are real. When you step back, you can release out of this.

The journey back to yourself can feel like a progressive peeling back of all of the layers of defense that you see as useful. So with each step you take toward peace, you face a piece of yourself that believes that to turn toward peace is to turn toward destruction. The idea that to turn toward peace is destruction is very disturbing, but ego has a solution to that. Ego's solution is distraction.

Truth is always very helpful to you--not a relative truth about perception, but the essential Truth of all that is. Whenever you feel disquiet, you are denying Truth and attempting to assert a relative truth about perception. It's just a habit--a habit that comes from the belief that finding and holding onto a relative truth about anything is meaningful and helpful. Allow this belief to sit in the light, and you are relieved of the quest to find and cling to relative truths.

When you take a thought about another character in--in toward the light within you, you allow Spirit to extend. When you feel the tension of a belief about another character, there are two places you can go. When you go directly into the purity of the heart you share with the one who looks like another character, that thought you heard loses all meaning and value. Instead, the rays of light extending from the heart you share shine forth. Who would not choose this radiance over some temporary, small idea of who someone is as separate? Yet you are accustomed to choosing this smallness over and over and over again. Today you choose shared radiance.

Space-time is a filter. Just like a filter on Instagram, the filter of space-time alters what you see. You recognize that filters are not real, and you also have the opportunity to recognize that the filter of space-time is not real. The filter of space-time distorts the simplicity of Reality, unperceived from an outer because it encompasses all, and presents it as a complexity perceived from a different point of complexity.

Ego offers a mechanism for what it calls understanding. Ego offers you pieces to put together, and judgments about each one of these pieces. Once the ego has put together a puzzle out of separate parts and has given the puzzle meaning, then it declares you fit for action and speech. When you speak and act from the basis of any understanding the ego gives you, you won't feel good. This is something you can notice.

Ego’s version of safety is withdrawal into separate and comparative identity. When you feel any tension, you have surrounded yourself with this fiction, this perception of separate and comparative identity. From within this tension, you can access your willingness. Your willingness is the spark of light within you and all that can never die. See it as a flower, and see this flower blooming. As you are willing to emerge from the perception of separate and comparative identity, you will be assisted in every way.

Sometimes you hear these thoughts:
I don't like what they did.
I don't like what they are doing.
Now pan the camera way back. The ego is guiding you to identify with an I that isn't you. If you can stand over here in judgment of another over there, this means that you have set a framework in place for some to oppose and dominate others. Although this can never be true, your dream is set up to show you this is so. This is why you must become very calm, quiet, and present within the dream. You must listen for the guidance that guides you through and out of what you cannot judge.

You must be willing to access or uncover the bitterness, and that is what relationship is for. We know this sounds grim, but you set the perception of separate ones in place to escape perceptually from what actually Is. This means in every relationship with any separate aspect–a person, an object, a concept, a situation–you must plunge in, feel the bitterness and density, and walk through it with us to the true light. This means you must leave any attachment to the false light–ego’s positive–behind.

When you find yourself locating any problem in someone or something, stop. This is projection. You made the world, and the world isn’t real. The world can prove one of two things to you: You are punished and victimized, punisher and victimizer, or you are innocent forever. If you are innocent forever, then all are innocent forever. The world can show you this if you stop insisting that it is real. It’s simply a reflection. If you need to see a guilty reflection of your belief in your own wrongdoing enacted by bodies you call other, then the world will show you that. If you want nothing more than to see proof that you are innocent forever through everyone and everything you meet, you will see that, too.

My thanks to a reader for their question about learning how to love oneself💚
Also, to understand today’s photo, look for the spiderweb. It’s there, but you might not notice it at first. This is all about noticing what is here but not prominent in our sight yet 🕸
You learn to love your Self (our shared Self) by seeing it everywhere with no sense of threat. The separated aspect you call your separate self cannot be loved because it is not Real, and only love is Real. This is good news, because you can give up trying to love any separate selves. There is great relief here. There is one thing to be seen at all times, anywhere, through any of the different surfaces you seem to see. Love Is already. It’s nothing you have to do. You only have to notice. Notice, and you feel the benign power and safety of what truly Is. This is how you learn to love your Self. You already do love it. This love can never be changed, and then you learn to notice that.

Every density brings you a breakthrough. Remember this whenever you feel a density, a stagnation, or a fatigue, and you are reaching for that which eases you through. The density, stagnation, and fatigue are actually what you have insisted upon. We know it appears fully that you are victim to circumstances related to these states, or even that they are occurring because of a fault or a misstep within a separate self you call yours. This is not true. You only experience limit or block when you insist upon it because you think it is safer.

Nothing in this right-now situation you seem to be in is your fault or the fault of any other. But everything in this situation is for your benefit and for the benefit of all. Anywhere in this situation that you feel an edge or a block or a density–this is where you can allow the washing away. A significant turning point is when you realize that the washing away of resistant thought harms none and benefits all, always. Another significant turning point is when you see that you need not fuss on the level of behavior. To attempt to control behavior is to reinforce the judgment that causes suffering.

You’re going to be given opportunities today to lay down your defenses. Remember that every situation in which you find yourself is an opportunity to move forward without defense. Every situation in which you find yourself is an opportunity to see all you call other as needing no defense. Everyone has and is Truth, and Truth is enough. Truth unites all. In the face of this, what defense do you need?

If you see another through a negative screen (more accurately, a screen of fear), you see yourself through a negative screen. If you see another through a negative screen, you see yourself (and all things, and all events, and all ideas) through a negative screen. We use the word negative because you associate it with density and that which is pain-inducing. We actually mean the fearful, although it is more effective to use the word negative right now. By the fearful we mean the relative positive and negative–that which seems to need the other to have existence.

When you ask Spirit to show you one you see as other as they truly Are, you will always be shown the same thing. You will be shown a beautiful being, healed and whole and shining, joyful and at peace. Is there any reason not to see this one now? Are you willing to be guided in such a way that brings the sight of this whole and perfect one into being?

Every situation you experience is for healing. You are accustomed to putting other goals first. You are accustomed to believing that it is you, separately, who achieves or doesn’t achieve these goals. You are accustomed to believing that it is you, separately, who controls the steps on the way to the goal perceived. Whether the goal seems to be cleaning a bathtub or making someone feel loved, you believe you are in charge. This separate sense of you-ness is pain (and also pleasure), but there is a belief in place that it is necessary to cling to it and to control it in order to bring rewards that will make life tolerable.

You have to walk with Spirit through the really sludgy and resistant parts of your mind to set the concepts free. You know you have entered the sludge when you feel a strong reactivity.

The celebration here is that you are looking upon a sludgy part of mind, and this is your opportunity to ask for help and to allow light to shine upon, dissolve, and shine through the sludge.

In all relationships, you are called to deep mind clearing about each other. Your experience with the one you call other brings forth opportunities to rest in the joy you both are. It calls forth opportunities to see exactly where you think yourself into limit and suffering. Both functions are useful–the reminder of who you both Are, and the realization of what thinking you use to hold yourself away from what you both Are.

Anywhere you feel resistance or judgment, it's an opportunity to agree to new perception. Resistance and judgment is the tug of the old. Respond by asking for new perception. The feeling of resistance means that right now, you are blind. The weight of judgment means that for now, you have shackled your power. It's okay, though. Simple resets are available always, and you are learning to accept their gifts.

Thanks to my friend Scott Hotalen, who invites me to mention him.
Let's look at personal interaction. Personal interaction seems to be from one to another, across the space between them. You perceive a gap between what you call you and what you call the other. This perceived space, this sense of otherness, is the ground from which judgment seems sane and necessary.

Wherever you seem to bring yourself, you’re bringing a gift. This tradition of bringing a gift to the hostess of a party, it is only a reflection of the true gift you bring. You can never bring a gift that is not already held by the other you seem to approach. Bringing your gifts together with willingness to see them as the same activates and deepens them in both. This is why every encounter is holy. Every encounter is an opportunity to see the shared gift in the foreground and to allow all that isn’t real to fade into the background.

You can’t rely upon what feels so awful anymore. It’s too clear not to. As you go deeper into witnessing the insanity that egoic thoughts offer, you come to see that it has taught you to regard everyone without exception as your sworn enemy. Do not leave anyone out. Mothers, fathers spouses, children, friends–ego instructs all to feed and reject, feed and reject. As ego instructs you to feed and reject, it also trains you to expect this same treatment from all, and it trains you to call it love. Leave no one out. Be bold.

There are many ways to receive guidance. In some cases, writing down what is heard can help to keep the channel open. In other cases, walking or another activity can help keep the channel open. Activity will be used by Spirit as it is appropriate. The point is, is that a channel opens, and it’s a conduit to who you and all Are. The point of this is to allow the channel to open, to stay within the spaciousness there, and to learn to be still within this spaciousness at all times, keeping the channel open at all times. The channel, the seeming conduit to your True Self, is the conduit to the True Self of all.

Time is really stretchy. Truly, time isn’t, as in it doesn’t exist. But given into the hands of Spirit, time loses all of the rigidity that you still believe it needs to have.

Consider how there seems to be a need for these structures to be solid, immovable, and reliable.

Simply pause to allow the old to pass away. What a beautiful gift for all. Rejoice. Celebrate as you do this work.

Everyone has always loved everyone. This is the Truth hiding underneath the illusion. If you are experiencing the illusion, it is always because you chose it. If you believe you see anything different than the extension of love everywhere, your choice has everything to do with it. We tell you this not to place blame, but so you can see where a shift needs to occur–in your decision about what you want. Blame is part of this illusion that you chose to experience as real.

You are an instrument in an orchestra. Your joy is in allowing yourself to be played. When you feel any disquiet, the cause is trying to act out of accord, trying to act as a separate one. A separate one you are not. When you are trying to act out of accord, you are attempting what cannot be done--what has never actually been done. In an illusion, yes, you believe that there are separate ones who have actually acted in discord, but this is not possible. That is why we call this experience an illusion. You witness to that which is not possible, and you feel discord because it is not possible.

You don’t need any evaluation from the world. All have already been evaluated, and they have been found equal. Nothing can change this evaluation. You can, by choice, obscure it. Whenever you have a feeling of disquiet, this is what it tells you: You have chosen to cover up the reassurance of our shining equality with an illusion. You can choose again. Our shining equality is also your safety. That feeling of disquiet means that you have chosen to cover up the truth of your safety with an illusion.

Each one seems to have a certain kind of behavior, always remembered from the past, and you expect that behavior to repeat. You believe you can judge and analyze each character in a way that is self-protective.

The effort we speak of is not used to accomplish anything in the world. This effort is used to allow clarity to be revealed, to allow what obscured the mind’s sanity to be removed.

The cry that seems to come from your body for food really emanates from your mind. Everything experienced as physical has its origins in the mind. Everything experienced as emotional has its origins in the mind. You all share one mind. The mind tells the body how to feel, and the body obeys. The body is useful in two ways. How it feels can tell you when you are allowing the false to run your experience. The body is also useful as an instrument of communication for Spirit. It is very simple. One use feels good, and the other use feels bad. How the body gets used–by Spirit or ego–is always up to you.

When it looks as though things have become disordered or unfortunate in some way, the being experiencing the disorder is always being given the opportunity to hand control over to Spirit.

When you don’t feel good regarding someone or something in particular, ego’s judgments are occupying the seeming space between what you see as you and whatever person or thing seems to have that charge for you. In other words, you see yourself as different from whatever seems to be “over there” setting you off. The judgments that seem to fill the space between you and that thing or you and that person seem to be different from both you and the thing you seem to be looking at.

You can come to a place where you’re happy to recognize that you feel irritated. When you make the purpose of each day, of each hour, of each moment the same purpose, then it is no problem to feel something that you call negative. You are simply bumping up against the problem, and when you have made the purpose of every day accepting the help that is always here for all, you know that it is only because you focused away from this help that you feel anything amiss. With practice, you will learn to value what is Real, and your focus will not stray.

Whenever you feel disquiet in any situation, feel into that hard nugget, that mind tangle, that blockage to the awareness of Love’s presence. We do not ask you to get stuck here or to look for reasons in the world for this disturbance. We only ask you to acknowledge the feeling and to look at it without distracting away from it. Pause and look. This is an opportunity to accept your freedom. Give thanks for the opportunity. That which has been hidden or underground is exposed in the sunlight now. Allow it to be exposed.

Ego can, for a limited time, blot out your sense that you feel lost. Ego can give you a temporary sense of satisfaction from identifying as something specific, but that’s going to necessarily mean that you are going to identify perceived others as the opposite. After the temporary satisfaction from a particular identification has worn off, you’re also going to identify as an opposite to a desired identification. In other words, you can’t push all of the water to only one side of a container, the side you label as desirable. After you see the opposite of your desired identification in others, you’re eventually going to experience it in yourself.

But you are not form, and neither is anyone else. Allow, then, all of the forms you seem to see and experience to teach you. This is how you accept your own teaching function.

Look at the constellation of characters all around you in the drama you are experiencing. This drama is a means to return you Home, so consider it a journey. On this journey, you will recognize that you value separate aspects of each character. You will learn to stop requesting or relying upon what you think of as the “good points” of each character, thereby freeing them up to show up for you in any way at all. When you free them, you free yourself. When you don’t rely upon specific gifts coming from specific characters, you open up the conduits for all gifts to flow to all. That includes you.

Imagine you are in an elevator, descending through layers of tension in the egoic identity structure. On each floor, ease and pause and allow the tension to be undone. After you have allowed the false thought of this layer to drain away, you descend to the next floor. It seems that the undoing that happens on each successive floor is thicker, more viscous, more challenging, but the undoing completed on each floor of your descent into the foundation of your Being–the Being of all–is inevitable.

While you did make the ego, the ego is not real, and its thoughts are not yours. Whenever you become aware of fear, remember that what the ego made is not real. There is no need to fear anything unreal, no matter how real it seems. Find your willingness to be shown how to distinguish the unreal from the Real. If it can change or end, it is not Real.

Ego sends thoughts to give you a consistent self-concept to carry with you from experience to experience. This is a self-concept you do not need. You do not need to be particularly this or particularly that when the One Self has all of the qualities that the One Self has always had. This fantasy about different beings with different qualities can be seen through, and when it is seen through, you grant the same gifts to all without exception.

We invite you onto the broad back of a great and powerful bird called Protection. When you climb onto the back of this bird, there is nothing for you to do. The only thing you are in charge of is your state of mind. You are not in charge of the actions of the body. You are not in charge of the speech. You are only in charge of the state of mind–working with this state of mind and riding on this bird. It is very, very simple. There is no complexity for you to handle. The only complexity you will encounter is in the thought-tangles of the mind, and as you encounter these tangles, you can release them through willingness.

What would prevent you from experiencing complete happiness in this moment? The idea that…fill in the blank. Look at what you have used to fill in this blank. It is some specific, separated from all of the other specific and particulars, and you think this specific is a block of some kind. The entire idea that there are specifics and particulars, along with the idea that you can judge each one separately, assigning separate meanings and values to them–that is the block. That is what you can release.

You don’t need to fight anything. If you are experiencing a hallucination, then there is nothing real to fight. To get caught up in a fight is to be confused, but awareness will serve you. The only thing that can bombard you is your thinking, and your thinking can be brought under your control. This is the best use of effort–observation of when you are allowing ego to send you lies, and the ability to enter the state of willingness to have your perception corrected. Remember how simple this is, and ego’s invented complexities cannot fool you.

We wish to speak of the confusion. The entire physical world was made to keep you in confusion, but you can decide upon a new goal. You can decide at any time that the goal of this experience is remembering Truth. As you approach Truth, you give up lies with which you are familiar, lies that you have taught yourself to lean upon. As you let these lies go, you can experience periods of confusion and disorientation. Be patient, gentle, and understanding with yourself.

You have been leaning upon judgment. As you become more willing to be happy, you also become more willing to notice and admit to pain. Any instance of any kind of pain is always caused by leaning upon judgment for security. Judgment promises security, but it has none to deliver. Judgment, delivered by ego, always causes pain. When it seems to cause pleasure, it just distracts temporarily from the pain that is inevitable. When you realize that accepting judgment from ego causes pain every time, ego’s judgmental thoughts lose their appeal.

When you experience interruptions or changes in the way you expect things to be, it’s always a favor. Every expectation is a chain, so when something comes in to interrupt an expectation, it’s an opportunity to drop the chain. So remember this: When the unexpected comes, it’s here to assist you in dropping the practice of encumbering yourself. You are used to weighing yourself down with ideas that you don’t need, so experiences come to relieve you of them.

You don’t need to give yourself time to heal. Sometimes you use the concept of time as a soother, but we’re gently directing you away from that into the Now. Because you are willing to have your head turned, we are nudging your gaze over from the unreal to the Real. We work as gently as possible. We step over and around the beliefs that you still think are real, and some of those also fall away as we do our work. As we work, the Love we bring to your attention holds you up, fills you, surrounds you. We work with you so you can see what truly supports you, so you feel able to let what seemed real and solid drain out of your mind, knowing it is not needed.

You are the Light, and only the Light. You can come into the willingness to see reflections of Light everywhere. Anything you think you want in this world, it compares not at all with the ability to see reflections of Light everywhere. When you think you want something specific, you are seeing lack and looking for satisfaction. The perception of lack is based on thought sent to you by ego. The idea that you need satisfaction is based on thought sent to you, at your request, by ego. You have the opportunity to rise above all that you have requested ego to send to you, to access the flow of thought from Source, to allow thought from Source to tell you anything you need to know.

Say yes to what this moment holds. What does this moment hold? It doesn’t hold anything in particular. Every time you look deeply into this moment, past all the posturing and suggestions of ego, you go into expansiveness, a loving expansiveness that is everywhere without interruption or defect. But for you, who believe you are in time, who believe you are in physicality, can spring specifics–specific instructions, specific words, specific situations seeming to happen. This is abundance–all of the seeming specifics that spring up from this bountiful expansiveness to guide you out of what isn’t, into what Is and always has been.

Congratulations! You have become willing to recognize that the soap opera is not real. It now seems a very real thing that what you are witnessing with your senses is not real. Having realized this, you have now seen the very flexible nature of what seems to be so heavy and immovable. Ego will immediately send images and ideas of a world gone mad without such limits and weights, but now you know to look beyond what ego sends. Now you can hear that the world has always been mad, but there has always been a very present remedy for perception of the world.

This is your opportunity to allow Spirit to lift burdens from you. While you seem to be in a place, experiencing time, "this" is every moment. The highest purpose of every moment is to allow the lifting of burdens. Think of burdens in terms of carrying. You think you carry responsibilities. You think you carry the weight of unfortunate conditions. But Spirit tells you all of this has been imagined. You carry Light, and only Light. The same is true of all. Spirit helps you to give up your conviction that you or anyone you perceive as "else" carry anything but the light.

You are looking at a past enactment of a tiny, mad idea. (Julie’s note: This is a direct reference to A Course in Miracles.) All physical vision is about witnessing the impossible, the idea that you could separate successfully from the presence of God, from the will of God. When you feel disturbance of any kind, you have forgotten that what you are gazing upon is a fantastical enactment of the impossible. You are looking upon a tiny lie that seems to have assumed massive proportions. Ask yourself, “What is bigger and more vast than the height, width, and depth of this lie?” Always, it is Light without end.

The only reason you think you want anything in this world is that you think you will find peace in the having of it. If you want peace, that means that you must think you don’t have it now, that there is something from which you must escape to have it.

Ego is going to keep functioning as you programmed it to function, but as you see that the thoughts it sends you have zero meaning, it cannot steer you. You have to believe ego’s thoughts in order to allow it to steer you, to take you on a trip through fantasy. Be not at all concerned about the idea of ego steering anyone else.

We wish to speak with you today about vulnerability. You can look at vulnerability two ways for the purposes of this conversation. Ego will tell you that you are vulnerable when you begin to question ego, so there is the perception of vulnerability as a danger that ego tries to sell you. Then there is an opening up to Spirit, a sharing of all the feelings and the thoughts you experience with Spirit. You can’t get to that openness without dropping the defense of egoic identity, so there is that beneficial vulnerability of opening up the protective shell to allow Spirit in. Spirit does dissolve the shell, but Spirit also shows you how you never needed it, so this openness is in no way dangerous.

We invite you to find your willingness to face the deeply uncomfortable without looking further than your own thoughts for the cause. People sometimes say that you should “get real.” This is getting very real. If you are having any problems with your experience, it is your thoughts that cause the perception and the experience of those problems. When you become aware of those thoughts, you can also become aware of the light shining beyond them. You can allow all of the significance to drain from the thoughts that caused the discomfort. You can ask the light to supply any thoughts you need in exchange.

The whole of a perception of what a seen-as-separate-one did or didn’t do is tied up in a story about the one or ones you’re looking at. Observe this today. Look at how much story-making is going on as you seem to move about your world. You have stories about every separate one, and you have multiple stories about their pasts. You have stories about who they are, about what made them who they are, about what makes them different from other ones who seem to walk about. Look at all this story-making, and contemplate what would come into the place occupied by the stories if you were to let them all go today. When the stories leave, what do you see there, in that space?
