On an enlightenment scale of zero to 1000, need, lack, lust and ego desire operate at about 125, more or less. Inspiration, thanks, and love operate at about 500. So I choose to transcend the need level, the lack level, and operate only on the fullness level, which says that the Lord is my shepherd, I am not in want. I can dissolve, eliminate, let go of, and forgive any sense of lack or frustration about lack and allow the Infinite Good to function completely in my consciousness today. All thoughts feelings pictures and frustrations about deficit are illusions. In reality, there are no lacks or limitations, which are all illusions. The question is whether I can remember to claim the infinite when things are not going my way, and be thankful, letting go of my attachments and resistances.

Seek ye first your divinity and your humanity will be added unto you. Seek ye first your goal and the means will be added unto you. Seek ye first your vision, and the how, when and where will be added unto you by the Infinite Good. The divine is the alchemicalized human. The human dissolves into and becomes the divine. The old, less useful, human particle dissolves into and becomes the new, more useful, divine particle. One particle dies and its energy is reborn into another particle.

Yesterday I was counseling with a client entangled in a long-term court battle. I said to him:

“I have some very good news for you today. Our trust for each other is bearing fruit. I agree 100% with your real goal (to be happy), but I doubt that the means (winning the court case) to that goal will work. We have to see the difference between the goal and the means. We have to see what your real problem is, and not assume that the symptom is the problem. When we mis-diagnose, we mist-treat. We have assumed that the injustice of the courts and your resultant bad health are the problems, but suppose these are only symptoms? Then the means chosen to cure these problems would be ineffective.

We need a context in which to re-diagnose and move from symptom to the real cause of your stress. This context for this re-diagnosis is that the whole universe exists in the mind. Injustice in the legal system is a mental representation. We attract to ourselves whatever we assume in our minds to be real. If the court system is just a mental representation that we have concocted, then we have more choices about how to understand and address our pain and suffering. Let’s consider that imagination is the most powerful force in the universe, that its misuse creates all of our problems and that we unwittingly attract responses that vibrate on the same frequency that our imagination is working on. If you have produced your problem, you can change the frequency on which your imagination is working, and change your experience. By changing your mind, you change the world of your experience.

Right now I am speaking not to your human reason and human understanding, I am speaking to your infinite imagination. Your human belief system is operating on the assumptions of limitations, threat and survival. Your divine imagination has no limits or threats except those that you allow yourself to agree to. If we can relax the noisy, controlling, fearful mind, so that we can hear our divine guidance, we can re-claim the power we have given to circumstances, people and the human story in general. We have been living this sensory, opinionated, fearful story for centuries. It has become a collective mindset, a matrix that everyone seems to agree to, thus resulting in a mad, mad, mad world.

This sensory noisy human mindset creates its own suffering and self-sabotage, with victimization and anxiety as its chief trademarks. Our first reason for being here on earth is to see and dissolve this story, and then to allow our Infinite Good to unfold and operate. Doubt is the main obstacle to this two-step process. We doubt that our pain arises from an illusory story that we have created. We doubt that we are an unlimited being full of peace, joy and freedom, which we could bring back into awareness.

What you want is right on, but the way you are going about it is getting you what you don’t want. Therefore, let’s set our sites on what we want and leave the means to God. Let’s trust that ‘of myself I can do nothing, but the Father within does the work,’ as Jesus said. We envision our wants and desires, and God fulfills them. We ask and God fulfills in his own way and time. Thus we can remain in peace in the process. We don’t have to manipulate the world and the people in it with our ego forcefulness, begging, and stressful cleverness. Our biggest challenge is to clearly state what we want. Ask and you shall receive. Our part is the asking. This process applies to the small and to the large. There is no order in the difficulty of miracles.”
