It's God

Whatever Happens Next is Good, because its God.

Can you even imagine that whatever happens next is infinitely good? No matter whether you like or dislike this idea, is it still infinitely good? If in the next moment you just sit there, or if you get up and walk to the refrigerator, or if you get sick and throw up, or even if you have a heart attack, or your house burns down, could it be infinitely good? If you win the lottery or go bankrupt, it is infinitely good.

These statements sound insane because we think we know what is good and what is not. We think we know what should happen and what should not. We think we know what we want and what we don’t, and that we are right. We think we know what is in our own best interest, but do we? All that we know is good-versus-evil. We have already decided which is which, and our life agenda is ruled by those fearful, symbolic decisions. We don’t even know that they are fearful or symbolic. We don’t even know that this whole agenda is our life story. It has become a sacred religion to us. This story is god, the only god we know. We defend this story with our lives every day. Nothing is more important than this story. We sacrifice everything for it, all of our relationships, all of our time, all of our money, all of our attention.

We all have attention-deficit disorders. We think that it is unfair that the doctors are diagnosing 25% of the boys in our schools as ADD or ADHD. But we all have it. Our attention is not free to move beyond its own box. Our attention is riveted to our beliefs, married to our story. We too miss 90% of what is being taught in the school of life.

We are asleep to our freedom, unaware of the truth beyond our box of self-limiting thoughts. We have no idea who God is. We think that God is the creator of the world of good- versus-evil, and that he, like us, is against evil. The only difference is that god sometimes gets confused and doesn’t know the difference in good versus evil.

But just suppose that the next thing that happens is for your infinite good? Whether you like it or not? Suppose you dare to question your opinion about the next thing that happens today. All day long. Just try it one day. Is this happening for my good? How?

Is this little throbbing in my ear right now God speaking to me? I just had the notion to go shave. Is shaving a God- experience? Suppose I decide not to shave. Is that also a Love-experience? Who decides what is good or not? No one. We have already long ago decided that. To ask about the infinite good is always a now choice. It has never been made before. It is always brand new. You have never lived that moment, or that choice, before. You never step in the same river twice. Boredom and repetition are impossible when you choose to ask whether this very next event is for your good. Ask and then listen. You can’t know ahead of time.

You don’t have to wait ‘til your ship comes in. It’s in. It never left. You left. Your ship is the next thing that happens. If it looks like shaving, you don’t get it. If it looks like boredom, you missed it. If it looks like a headache, you are still asleep. Just wake up. It’s all paradise.

Some Quotes from Katie

Yesterday on this site, I pinpointed the importance of the new Katie book, A Thousand Names for Joy. Today I share some quotes with you that I like:

“I should” “I shouldn’t” “You should” “You shouldn’t” “I want” or “I need” --these unquestioned thoughts distort the appearance of the good. When you believe them, you make your mind small, and small-mindedness does not allow you to see why the loss of legs is good, why blindness is good, why sickness, hunger, death, a village wiped out, the whole apparent world of suffering is good. Reality will remain what it is, pure goodness, whether or not you understand.

Being present means living without control and always having your needs met. For people who are tired of the pain, nothing could be worse than trying to control what can’t be controlled. If you want real control, drop the illusion of control. Let life live you. It does anyway. You didn’t make the rain or the sun or the moon. You have no control over your lungs or your heart or your vision or your breath. One minute you’re fine and healthy, the next minute you’re not. When you try to be safe, you live your life being very, very careful and you may wind up having no life at all. Everything is nourishment. I like to say “Don’t be careful; you could hurt yourself.”

I tried to make my kids good. I lost them 20 years ago. I came to see that they were never mine to begin with. I taught them everything they know about anxiety and dependence, and now they are beginning to learn what freedom looks like.

Now if they ask me what to do, I say: “I don’t know, honey. I’ll listen and I’m here to support you in whatever decision you make. You can’t do it wrong, I promise you that.”

It’s painful to think you know what’s best for your children. When you think you need to protect them, you’re teaching them anxiety and dependence. But when you question your own thoughts, and stay out of your children’s business, finally there’s an example in the house: someone who knows how to live a happy life. When they notice that you have your act together, and that you are happy, they start to follow.

What's Beyond what We Know?

What’s Beyond the Human Mindset as we Know It?

From within the human mindset, fear-based “problems” cannot really be solved. You can shift them around, manipulate them, and transfer them, but the human mindset is the problem-creator, and is itself the problem. The problems we encounter within the human mindset are just steps for transcending this mentality. We spend our whole lives trying to out-wrestle some particular Achilles’ heel. It may change form, shape, setting and personality, but it just keeps coming back, and we just keep on resisting it, fighting against it, denying it, and giving up about it. You may see ten faces of it, but it can usually be boiled down to one, if you want to know. If you don’t want to know, you can play with it for a few more years or lifetimes. This core problem expresses itself in many symptomatic ways. We doctor it with this medicine or that solution or another approach, but it just plays hide and seek with us. Anxiety is its chief indicator, however. If you have anxiety, you can again see that you have not found the real problem, only the symptom. Whatever you call your problem is not it.

Suppose that a lot of weedlings keep sprouting up in your mind’s garden and you keep chopping them down, pulling them up, or setting fire to them, but you don’t realize they all come from one root. You will never be able to keep ahead of that root’s productivity. Find the root. It is underground and it is hidden from sight, but it is there. All of the “problems” on the surface spring from an “underground root.” You thought your garden was just poor soil, that you planted bad seeds or that some neighbor did it at night while you were asleep. You are disgusted, worn out and ready to just get rid of the apparent causes of the whole problem. Declaring war on the weedlings hasn’t worked, however; in fact it just seems to make more of them.

It is a human trait to wage war on unwanted things. Such war-making doesn’t work, but it does bear an important lesson. In that sense, the weedlings and the failed war-making are there to boost us into the missing level of our awareness. To get to that missing level, however, we have to deal with the “root” and not just with the weedlings. It is not a question of our being a bad, dumb or inefficient person.

The cause of human problems is unknown and therefore mis-diagnosed and mis-treated. Abuse is one of our biggest human complaints. Everyone feels to some degree abused. However, upon closer inspection, what we find is that the source of all abuse is an inside job, and arises from the “root.” What we think is the cause of our “problem” never is. I make that categorical statement to shock you and to get your attention. Your attention is on the weedlings, and that does very little good. I want you to place your attention on the root and what it means.

To save you some time, I will give you a clue here, that the root is our story. Our unconscious story about our self and the universe creates all of our problems. We think that our story is realistic, but it is not. Our story is based upon fear and fear does not give us true information. Fear gives us a very opinioned view of life, but one that appears to be realistic. This opinionation passes off as awareness, but it is not. Therein lies the source of anxiety and suffering and the possibility of our liberation from the effects of the root.

We are not making free choices in life until we get to the root. Free choice is not getting to decide which weedling to pull up next. Our choices are automated reactions. There is virtually no freedom in the human mindset. We talk all the time about how we live in the home of the brave and the land of the free, but we do not. We live in the home of the gutless and the land of the trapped, not that different from the dictatorships. Each human being lives in his own inner dictatorship of fear and its resultant problems and false solutions. I am not saying that it’s our fault. It is not. I am not saying to feel guilty. We feel guilty enough. I am not saying to try harder. We are worn out.

I am saying that there is a road less traveled by which we can discover the root, see it for what it is, and rise to our true awareness. Only in this manner is our energy re-directed into other potentials and not trapped in the root and its weedling system. When this re-direction occurs, wel see no more weeds, only opportunities for more growth. Every weed becomes a flower. No more weed fighting is necessary for us. Even if we do fall back into it temporarily, it is short-lived and soon becomes re-directed.

Even though we walk through what appears to be the valley of death, we need fear no evil, because there is none. A grand table of delicious food is set before us, which we never saw before, because of the presence of what we thought were enemies and their weeds.
Love, not fear, is our shepherd, and always was, but we didn’t know it. . .

An Interesting Message from Master Kirael

The New World Order
Kirael

Good evening. My friends, the time is right for the world. It is time for the Lightworkers to be aware of a great cycle of change. The human world is awakening, and the time for renewed commitment stands looming in what the over-mastermind would have each believe to be the doom and gloom of the future. Nothing could be further from the truth as the journey from fear to love now takes on a more meaningful reality. No more can the Lightworker sit on the sidelines and wait for others to do the work. It is time now that collective consciousness comes to the rim and begins to spill over into the world. The Lightworker who has stayed very quiet throughout all of this, allowing the over-mastermind to run its course, no longer has that option available.

The over-mastermind, my friends, is in its declining state. It is already finding that it doesn't have the power. It is already discovering that in this new era, in this new time and space, the world is opening to Light. I suggest to each and every one of you in the Lightworker world, you will inherit the planet. Whether you go about this kicking and screaming is not of our concern. We have no energy upon it. We know only that the Lightworker is here to carry the world from one level of consciousness to another.

Your journeys are simple, my friends. You have to take the reins of Light. You must stand ready to keep your minds in the positive light. You cannot step backwards, for the doors behind you are closed. There is no backing out now. You must stand in the light of peace so that those surrounding you will find a haven in which to connect themselves. Once the connection begins, once the Lightworker groups start to significantly intertwine with one another, a force will build upon your Earth plane that will allow Mother Earth and all her inhabitants the right to make the transition without disharmony.

Q: Master Kirael, you suggest that the Lightworkers of the world will inherit the planet, but I have a question about what you have called the "dimmed energy forces" that confront us. You previously mentioned some mind-boggling information regarding "we the people" that the term also includes those dimmed energy forces like Bin Laden, for example. I am reminded of something I read in "Conversations with God" when God says, "you will know Me when you understand that Hitler went to heaven" and that the Creator is "the Alpha and the Omega," and hence, embraces the entirety of beingness. That is, what we may call "evil" is also part of God, and I've always had some difficulty with this concept. This person Bin Laden has caused much disruption in the lives of many people. I'm wondering what his purpose is. Is it just to show us how not to be? Is he simply part of the contextual field in which we all operate and have to make choices? Is that what his role is?

KIRAEL: That is almost close enough to stand as the answer. If you will allow me, I will take your answer to a higher vibration. Bin Laden is but a puppet. It is just two words that you in the human world can focus your energies on. The energy force of Bin Laden, the energy force of Hitler, the energy force of any destructive powers are but instruments of the over-mastermind, the thought process which believes that fear is the answer to everything. Each time it needs to amplify its energy, the over-mastermind focuses on one or more humans which we'll refer to as puppets. These puppets become that which searches throughout the world, seemingly turning everything into darkness.

This may be a bit difficult to hear when you have experienced thousands of people dying and have only the vibration of Bin Laden to focus on. Is it really Bin Laden, or is it some over power pulling the strings like a darkened puppeteer? Listen carefully, my friends, for when one asks, "Is there such a thing as a dim over-mastermind or a dim negative energy force?" the thought alone literally gives it life. The over-mastermind of Earth has given life to the Bin Ladens of the world. Fear has cast a shadow over the Earth, and it will be the plight of the Lightworker to take a stand.

What I share here may dishevel some of your beliefs, yet it is the time of "The Shift" and nothing shall be held back. When a lesson plan is not learned, the Creator simply allows for its escalation until all comprehend it. An example is a name many will feel uncomfortable with, the one who was called Hitler. This is a man who personified evil deeds and will always be synonymous with some of the darkest days on Earth. Still, my friends, you must know that when this force was complete in teaching the world what it must never let happen again, his light, like every other light, returned to the Creator. You will come to understand that in order for you to comprehend the entirety of this plane of duality, this dimension of yin and yang, the Creator has given you the clearest lessons and the most compelling experiences.
Your world, as I have said many times before, was designed to allow you to evolve to the highest potentiality by having you experience as much as possible throughout multiple lifetimes.

The human light is that part of the higher self which has the opportunity to experience this creation called Earth.

The Creator has shown you time and time again that war is not the answer. Yet as this is being sent through my medium, you are in another war. This war, my friends, is different. Some will pick up the gun while others will answer the call to arms by raising the light sword. It will take all the power of "we the people" to stand one next to the other and use the Light to create a world in peace. One day only the memory of evil will be all that is left. Never give up.

Q: You have said that the over-mastermind seeks Lightworkers with the ability to work on both sides. Could you give us an example of what you mean?

KIRAEL: At the risk of some controversy, I will mention two in the highest positions of your government: George W. Bush and Colin Powell. Energy patterns such as President Bush and Secretary Powell, who have decided they need to operate in the Light but are forced by the over-mastermind to adhere to their policies, walk both sides of the fence. There are a number of them, and they are only looking for the smallest excuse to fall into the Light itself. Those who work both sides are usually highly positioned, and they have been positioned much by the Lightworkers. But the truth, my friends, is that the over-mastermind still has a concerted grip on your thought systems here on the Earth plane, and you are solely and 100% controlled by your thought systems. It yet remains the charge of the Lightworkers to awaken into their own light and to rally those who no longer wish to live in a world of doom and gloom.

Q: I sometimes feel that I am also a kind of puppet caught between the world of religion and the world of the Lightworker. There is a lot of love in the world of religion, but the more I work into the light being that I am, the more I recognize that along with the love, there is a lot of fear and untruth as well, and it is being escalated by the Shift and by recent events in the world. I'm sure there are others like me who feel torn and confused. Do you have any words of advice for the days to come?

KIRAEL: I will answer in this way. First of all, there is really no separation between religionists and spiritualists; they are literally on the same path. They simply vibrate at different levels, not "good" or "bad," just different. The religionists seek the same thing the Lightworkers seek; they seek the answer. Second, I came here to remind the world that fear is a state of mind. If I could take away the fear of death from each of you, if I could take away the fear of being poor, if I could take away the fear of no relationship or the wrong relationship; and if you would honor the relationship you already have, if you would honor the amount of money that you have for whatever you need, if you would honor the fact that you cannot fear death because death does not exist, I would then have a group of Lightworkers that could span the world in a matter of days, and they would take their light into the world so powerfully that there would be no wars as to who has the better God. We would eradicate fear, my friends.
For all of you waiting for the Shift to come, I say, stop it. Just be it. Shift yourself right now. Shift yourself into the art of love. Focus on the desired outcome and simply live the journey to arrive. When you are working in the Light of the Creator, you cannot and will not have fear. You will take every moment as it is meant to be in the purity of love.

I believe it was Kryon who said, it is not the New Age but the Now Age. You have nothing but the Now, my friends. You cannot find tomorrow, yet you are so convinced that you have yesterday. That doesn't exist as well. You have only the Now. My choice would be not to decide whether you are a Lightworker, or a religionist, or a spiritualist. My choice would be to realize that you are Light, and your only concern is to decide what you want to do with your journey. What do you want to do right now to make your journey the best? And every day when you are looking for tomorrow, you would find out it is today. Would not that be fascinating?

Let me take that one step further. As you are looking for tomorrow, you are creating it in the Now. If you create it in fear, it will arrive in fear. When you are looking for it in love, you will discover it is already here, and no fear can exist.

"I"

“I”

I have a ten acre home, property and business that is nicknamed “Greer” for the former owner. I have been preparing this property for sale for the past year. Selling Greer and waiting on the sale of Greer are both blessings. Greer is God’s, just like I am God’s, and I am learning more and more lessons about The Secret through this experience of selling the Greer property.

I praise God that Greer is sold (although I don’t know who the buyer will be) and that it has not yet been paid for. I praise God for the blessing of waiting. The lesson is that I am already rich and supremely blessed, whether I have been paid or not. My riches do not depend on the sale of Greer. My inner abundance manifests into form in many ways and in its own time.

I am supremely thankful for the knowledge of The Secret that is unfolding in my life and in the world. There is no greater gift and wealth than the gift of understanding because this awareness expands every day. The entire universe is mine to enjoy. Bill Gates is not that rich unless he too shares that awareness. Paul called it the “riches of Jesus Christ” awareness. I call it the secret knowledge of the infinite good. You may call it whatever your unique experience warrants.

Let’s don’t get hung up on semantics. We’ve been stuck in semantics for generations. The wrong use of words is all that causes our suffering. We have been the slaves of words and their incorrect meaning. Words and beliefs are all that we ever deal with. Correct your thinking and your language and you change the world. The pen is truly more powerful than the sword, isn’t it?

Our entire human problem centers around one word, the word “I”. Until that one word is deciphered and understood, we will continue in our rat race forever.

Isn’t it strange that the entire secret of the universe lies in the one word “I” ?

Isn’t it mind-blowing to realize that all human suffering and joy is tied up in the one word “I”.

Isn’t it incredible to even consider that all anxiety arises from the mis-imagination about and mis-use of that one word?

Isn’t it astonishing to think that all of our millions of anxiety-remedies are ineffective because we all assume that we understand what the word “I” means?

Find out what “I” means and your symptoms are done. Your sickness is healed. Your poverty is over. Your relationships are restored. Your fears are gone. Life flows. In the I-word lies hidden all of the secrets of the universe. The n-word and the f-word lose their punch when the meaning of the I-word is discovered.

Finding out what the I-word means is truly a lifelong process because there is no end to “I” While “I” seems to be a word, it is not. “I” is the supreme example of a word that is not a word. “I” is an experience that cannot be contained in a mere word. Once you realize this, all words begin to change their meaning. No word stands for itself. All words represent the infinite or its distortion.

The true “I” is the word behind all words. I represents God. God is the reality behind the word “I” and behind all other words. Quite obviously, there is a false unconscious use of the word “I” and a true conscious use of the word “I”. Therein lies the secret knowledge. I is conscousness.

The first letter in the spiritual alphabet is not “A” but “I”. We talk about the faults of the Me Generation…me, me, me, me. The narcicist acts like there is nothing but me, the self-centered me. All suffering arises from this me-centeredness. So we condemn and try to escape from me-ism. We have thousands of medications to treat me-ism, but do they work?

Stephen Colbert’s comedy hour program is built around his jokes about me-ism. He plays the self-centered me as the joker of the human story. He nails the inconsistencies in everyone who comes on his show. He makes a joke of all of our seriousness and social identities. He challenges and makes fun of the flaws and limitations in every philosophy and belief system.

“Me” is our problem; “I” is the answer. “Me” is always narrowing down; “I” is always expanding out. “Me” is a belief and “I” is not. “Me” is a mere word; “I” is a transcending symbol that is not even a word.

When “Me” becomes “I” you know The Secret and are living it.

Finding Your Real I

Find the I that is not broken
Find the I that is not guilty
Find the I that is not angry
Find the I that is not in pain
Find the I that is not anxious
Find the I that is not sick
Find the I that is not inadequate
Find the I that is great
Find the I that is powerful
Find the I that is fearless
Find the I that needs no validation
Find the I that was never born or never dies
Find the I that is unconditional love
Find the Kind Wise I
Find the I that is happiness
Find the I that is peace
Find the I that is creative
Find the I that can do anything
Find your Real I
Find the I that you don’t know
Find the infinite “I” hidden in the finite “Me”
That’s who you really are!
Discover and let go of all your false beliefs about “I”
and your anxiety will have fulfilled its mission.

Jesus found his real ‘I” and he constantly talked about it. He knew The Secret. I am the resurrection and the life. I am the way. I am the light. I am the truth. I am the good shepherd. I am the bread. I am the son of man. I am the son of God. Who do you say that I am? Was he a narcicist or insane?

He was probably the first man to know the “I” in the fullest and most complete sense. He has been called the most unhypnotized man in the history of the world. His life was thus a miracle. But he insisted that he was not the exception, not a special case, not to be idolized. Only to be copied, only to be followed, only to be joined. He knew the “I’ and he lived it. He set a new pace for humanity. The “Me” could be crucified but the I could not be killed. Paul picked up on it and made it his reality that “me” has to die daily in order that “I” can be born. You and I are no exceptions either.

“Me” has to be let go of for “I” to come alive. If we don’t make Jesus an exceptional “I”, then we don’t have to think that our “me” is an exception either. You are unique but not an exception. Jesus and Paul and Buddha and Martin Luther King and Gandhi and Mother Teresa are not exceptions. They just became “I” in their own unique ways. You too are a hidden “I” , a Buddha, a Christ, in essence and in process. A unique seed waiting to flower. A unique song waiting to be sung. A butterfly in a caterpillar cocoon awaiting re-birth and flight. A unique but common false “me” awakening into unique unstoppable ”I-hood”.

Enjoy the Secret!

Quotes from "The Secret" movie:

We all work with one infinite power.

The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA).

Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting.

We are like magnets - like attract like.

You become AND attract what you think.

Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.

People think about what they don’t want and attract more of the same.

Thought = creation.

If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation.

You attract your dominant thoughts.

Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it. It’s not “wishful” thinking.

You can’t have a universe without the mind entering into it.

Choose your thoughts carefully .. you are the masterpiece of your life.

It’s OK that thoughts don’t manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon).

EVERYTHING that is in your life you have attracted .. accept that fact .. it’s true.

Your thoughts cause your feelings.

We don’t need to complicate all the “reasons” behind our emotions. It’s much simpler than that. Two categories .. good feelings, bad feelings. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track. Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.

You get exactly what you are FEELING. Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances. You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it’s not there)..

The universe will correspond to the nature of your song. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience. What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception. Shift your awareness.

“ You create your own universe as you go along” Winston Churchill

It’s important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) ) You can change your emotion immediately .. by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience. When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator.

Life can and should be phenomenal .. and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction. Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly.

Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: “I’m so happy and grateful now that…. ”

You don’t need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself.

The Law of Attraction is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW. You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster.

The universe likes SPEED. Don’t delay, don’t second-guess, don’t doubt.. When the opportunity or impulse is there .. ACT

You will attract everything you require - money, people, connections.. PAY ATTENTION to what’s being set in front of you.

You can start with nothing .. and out of nothing - a WAY will be provided.

HOW LONG??? You need no rules on time .. the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen.

Size is nothing to the universe (unlimited abundance if that’s what you wish) We try to make up the rules on size and time. But there are no rules on time and size according to the universe .. you provide the feelings of having it now and the universe will respond.

Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck…etc..) You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point.

“ All that we are is a result of what we have thought” - Buddha

What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude. Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately.

What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about. What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude.. focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for.

Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result. VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future. VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins. Feel the joy .. feel the happiness

An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one.

“ What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists.” Alexander Graham Bell.

Our job is not to worry about the “How”. The “How” will show up out of the commitment and belief in the “what.” The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream. If you turn it over to the universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered .. this is where magic and miracles happen. Turn it over to the universe daily.. but it should never be a chore. Feel exhilarated by the whole process .. high, happy, in tune.

The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being. They remember to do it all the time.

Create a Vision Board .. pictures of what you want to attract .. every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants.

“ Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” Albert Einstein.

Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you. Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want - and the feeling of having it already. Focus on being grateful for what you have already .. enjoy it!! Then release it into the universe. The universe will manifest it.

“ Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve.” W. Clement Stone

Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind. When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it. How can you become more prosperous?? INTEND IT!! “ Checks are coming in the mail regularly”… or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there… and get behind the feeling of having it. Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas.

Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear. We are the creators of our universe.

Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others .. love yourself and you will be loved. Healthy respect for yourself…… For those you work with or interact with regularly .. get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people. Write down the things you like most about them (don’t expect change from them).

Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if your frequencies don’t match.

When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good. You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children….

You are the only one that creates your reality. No one else can think or feel for you .. its YOU .. ONLY YOU.

Health: thank the universe for your own healing. Laugh. Stress-free happiness will keep you healthy.

The immune system will heal itself. Parts of our bodies are replaced every day, every week..etc… Within a year we have a brand new body. See yourself living in a new body.

Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry.

Stress degrades the body. Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself.

Learn to become still .. take your attention away from what you don’t want and place your attention on what you wish to experience. When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clearer than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life.

You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

Allow the world as others choose to see it, to exist as well. People think that if everyone knows the power of the Law Of Attraction there won’t be enough to go around. This is a lie that’s been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around. All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it’s own infinite nature. There’s enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for you.

So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want and get behind the good feelings of all your wants.

Write your script. When you see things you don’t want, don’t think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on them… remove your attention from "don’t wants".. and instead place your attention on "DO wants."

We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING. Don’t define yourself by your body .. Your infinite being is connected to everything in the universe. One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right where you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

Oprah's doing it again tomorrow!
The Oprah show on The Secret was so successful that Oprah is hosting Michael Beckwith and James Arthur Ray again on tomorrow's show!Tune in to The Oprah Winfrey Show Friday, February 16th, for more in-depth coverage of The Secret. Also, be sure to watch Oprah After the Show on Saturday, February 17th, on Oxygen for even more coverage.

Your desire is your Higher Self speaking to you, awaiting manifestation...

If you've ever heard James Ray speak you have probably heard him say, "The Latin root of the word desire means 'of the Father.'" How cool is that?

What is it you really want in your life? What do you desire? What gets you passionate? When you have a desire for something, it's your Higher Self speaking, prodding, wishing you to grow.
Understand that your Creator doesn't want you to have toys and things.

Your Creator doesn't want you to do certain things. Your Creator wants you to become the person necessary to have and do those things.

Spirit is always for fuller expression and expansion...

Your Creator wants you to grow.

" I remember years ago hearing one of my mentors say, "Decide to be a millionaire, but not for the green slips of paper. Do it for who you will have to become to get there." When I heard him say that, I decided to follow his challenge.

Now, I challenge you to join the adventure.
You see, your current results are a direct reflection of the person you have become up to this point. Why is it that those who win the lottery in our country, almost without exception, are flat broke and miserable within 2 years? It's because they have not yet become the type of person necessary to live at that particular level of income and life.

It takes a bigger person to make $100,000 per year than one who makes $10,000 per year... and an even bigger person to make $100,000 per month than one who makes $10,000 per month. Understand, I did not say a "better" person...There isn't one of us that's better than anyone else. We've all been given the same potential from our Creator. But it does take a "bigger" person. It takes a person who is willing to stretch, take risks and massive action and have tremendous faith.

There is only one objective in this life: to fully expand and grow into your full capability. Your desire is calling you... challenging you to take the next peak, to become the person necessary to rise above your current plateau... No matter how favorable it may currently be.The great mythologist Joseph Campbell said, "The only question in life is whether or not you are going to answer a hearty 'Yes!' to your adventure." Answer YES! Believe in yourself. Take the leap of faith. You'll be glad you did and your life will be magnificent!"

James Arthur Ray

The Secret of the Ages

The Secret of the Ages is the law of attraction. Like attracts like. Vibration matches vibration. You attract what you put out. There are five elements in the law of attraction: imagination, thought, feeling, action and reaction.

Imagination is where it all begins. Then we have a thought. Then we have a feeling, Then we take action. Then there is a reaction or matching of the previous four steps. However, these things happen so quickly, so automatically and so unconsciously that we may only notice action and reaction. The secret is the order of these steps. Often we think that reaction is first, then action, then feeling, then thought, and probably not imagination at all.

When we perceive in this reverse manner, we become victims of the outer. We become irresponsible. We assume that the world is an outer thing, random or accidental, out of our control. We have inevitable anxiety.

The secret is that the reversal of these five steps is not so. The law of attraction is that we first imagine, then we think, then we feel, then we act, and then we see out there what we have created. Circumstances are the product of your own creation.

To understand this, it would be helpful to use the re-play analogy in football.
By slowing down the camera, which is the eye, we can see what really happened.

What this means is that you, like the Creator, are also a powerful creator, but in many instances, it seems like luck, either good or bad, which produces our experiences. But just suppose that everything that you see, feel, and experience is the result of your own story. If you don’t like what you are experiencing, you can change your story and your world will change. You begin to realize that you see what you believe, instead of vice-versa.

What you see is what you get, quipped comedian Flip Wilson.

This secret has been known by a few geniuses, successful philosophers, saints, and business men since the beginning of time, but not by the masses. Everyone has a little piece of this knowledge but not until now has the full knowledge of the secret been made available for everyone.

Henry Ford had a piece of it when he said “If you say you can’t or if you say you can, you are right.

Buddha said the world is created by our thought.

Solomon said “As you think, so it is.”

Jesus said “All things are possible to him that believeth.”

Now modern physics and science is saying that thought determines reality. Nothing is independent of the observer.

Dr. Emoto has proven that thoughts change the molecular structure of water.

Doctors and researchers say that at least 80% of our medical problems are due to the effects of stress on the immune system.

Clinical investigators have shown that stress is generated by our own assumptions, and not by the environment per se.

I have written a book entitled “Anxiety: Your Friend in Disguise” in which I argue that anxiety is here to remind us that we have it all backwards, that we are not victims, but unconscious choosers who must become conscious choice-makers or else we will not be able to get rid of our anxiety or its symptoms and suffering. Self-medicating addictions do not really eliminate stress.

Only awareness gets to the level where anxiety begins, that is, to the level of imagination and thought. As long as our story remains hidden and unchallenged, we remain anxious, unhappy, and relatively unsuccessful. By taking responsibility for where you are, you can choose to have what you want. Right now you have a lot of what you don’t want and a little of what you do want, but not enough of what you do want. We tend to blame this lack on other people, on society, on fate, or on not trying hard enough. None of these is the truth. “Not enough” is all due to our lack of understanding and awareness.

I have an electrical magnet in my office. I often use it to illustrate the law of attraction. In step one the metal object pulls apart quite easily from the magnet. But once a small D size battery is hooked to the magnet, no one call pull the metal object apart from the magnet. Thus we see that a small electric current directed in the right manner makes the magnet very powerful. Your mind is a magnet, and it is empowered by your energy, and it attracts what you experience. The main difference in this magnet and your mind is that your mind has filters through which this energy exerts its vibratory power.

You either filter your perceptions through anger, fear, doubt or love. Over 80% of the time we make our choices through unconscious filters or imaginations of fear, doubt, or anger. To make our next step in human evolution, we have to be able to filter all or our choices through love or understanding.

This step would be a lot easier if we knew the nature of reality, but we do not. We do not see that this is a Friendly Universe, offering us all that we could possibly want. We do not see that the Creator of this universe is Infinite Goodness, Unlimited Power, Unmixed wisdom and Unconditional Love. If we did, we would not be anxious, and we would practice the Law of Attraction naturally. Another way of saying this is that what we focus on is what happens.

Generally speaking, we may rely about 50% on action, 20% on luck, 15% on planning, and 15% on others. We can reverse that and put 50% on imagination, thought and feelings and the remaining 50% on aware calm, graceful action. Unconscious, desperate, hit-and miss-action is very inefficient. Once you see that the universe is friendly and that it is here to serve you, then you can give yourself 100% to serving. Once you see that the Universe is Unconditionally Friendly, you will be open to creativity, miracles, hidden assistance, unexpected team members, and synchronicities coming from everywhere. You realize that you are never alone and that you have infinite resources.

How can you know that the universe is here 100% to serve you? That may take some real research, but have we ever tried? When the Creator had created the earth, we are told that he looked at all that he had made and said Very Good. But have we ever done that? Have we ever looked at all that he has made and said Very Good? I doubt it. We have not even looked at all that we have made and said Very Good. Until you can look at the universe from a non-judgmental viewpoint, I doubt that you can ever say Very Good Without Conditions to anything. Thus you will be trapped in an unserving universe without any purpose except to survive. Once you discover the Very Good Truth about the Universe you will know your purpose in life.

Suppose that the world I have created is significantly different from the Creator’s world? How can that be helpful to me? The world that I have created produces the suffering and anxiety that I experience, which remind me that I am not in truth, and so I can change my perception. That is why my view of the world, no matter how distorted it is, is also my perfect learning device.

The Friendly Universe already serves you 100%. It does whatever you ask. And it even gives you 1000 X more than you ask or understand, reserved for when you are ready to receive it. We are already turning down the infinite Good on an hourly basis! Wow!

Is There a Deficit Anywhere?

Is There a Deficit Anywhere?

When we have a deficit model of the universe, and we do, then we see deficits everywhere. We see a lack of attention, of love, of money, of appreciation, of time, of friends, of freedom, of job opportunities, of sex, of romance, of peace, of health, of power, of immortality, of belonging, etc. We have a scarcity attitude. We assume that there is a deficit. We believe there is a lack. We create the lack outside that we assume inside. And the more we focus on lack, the more we have. We don’t see presence, we see absence. We plan and prepare for disaster. We catastrophize about the bad that may happen. We complain that we don’t have friends, and that we don’t have enough of this or that.

We criticize those who seem to withhold what we tell ourselves we don’t have. We blame those people and circumstances around us for not giving us what we “need” and don’t think we have enough of. We create more and more of what we don’t want. Silently or verbally we nag our partners, bosses or parents to give us more. We threaten to leave the relationship or to leave town if someone or something doesn’t change to make us more comfortable. The more we criticize, complain, nag, blame, threaten and punish others or ourselves, the worse it gets. Finally we get so disappointed that we get disgusted or depressed.

What’s right about this picture? What’s right about it is that you deserve more, you are entitled to more, you ought to have all the good you ever imagined that you want. Yes, I said you are right! Deficit and lack is not right. No one should have to suffer deprivation, disappointment and depression. No one should have to manipulate to get what they want. No one should have to divorce to go find a new love. No one should have to lie and fake to gain acceptance. No one should have to do all of their lazy co-workers’ tasks at work in order to keep his or her job. No one should have to give up being themselves in order to be accepted. As one of my clients said “I’m a whore to the man (boss) and I hate it.” It is true that “not enough” is unfair. It is true that it is mediocre to accept “less than.”. You are right in feeling that you can’t stand mediocrity. You are right in being angry about being bored. You are right if you can’t stand our poor methods of education in the schools. You are right in thinking that we are in a stupid war. You are right in thinking that you should have a purpose in life and not be doing repetitious meaningless tasks every day. You are right in thinking that it is not good enough to just make a living, do chores, get old, get sick and die.

You are right in being sick and tired of being sick and tired. You are right in wondering why the doctors can’t cure anxiety and depression. It’s no wonder that you think of suicide now and then, or even killing the SOB’s that make life so miserable for so many people.

So you have raised heck about it, and gotten no results! You have suffered silently and gotten no results! You have prayed and gotten very little response. You have given up on praying and no change occurred. You have told God off and nothing happened. You have said “What’s the use! and nothing changed.

So here we are, apparently stuck. Apparently? Yes, apparently. The deficit model of the universe is just an appearance. We are stuck not with a deficit universe, but with a deficit model of the universe. There is no lack anywhere except in our minds. There is no scarcity anywhere except in our story. Infinite potential lies all around us, waiting to be brought into sight and into form! We are not stuck except with a very self-limiting thought system!

What if you were right in feeling angry about not having all that you want, and then found out that you do and/or can have all that you want? Wouldn’t that be a nice and shocking surprise? What if you have overlooked the fact that what you want is already yours in potential? What if unawareness was your only problem? What if you could experience all that you want right now if you could just be aware and present right now? What if unawareness and un-presence were your only problem? What if the treasure of life is within and without if you just had the eyes to see and the ears to hear? Don’t be insulted. Everyone has the same ignorance you do. Everyone. Ignorance is the only problem we geniuses have!

We think we see reality but we don’t. We only see a deficit model of reality. Reality has no deficits. Reality is abundance. Misery sees misery. Lack sees lack. Anger sees anger. Desperation sees desperation. Weakness sees weakness. Sickness sees sickness. Fear sees fear. Evil sees evil. Deprivation sees deprivation. Ugliness sees ugliness.

Abundance sees abundance. Love sees love. Power sees power. Health sees health. Freedom sees freedom. Beauty sees beauty. God sees God. The law of the universe is that as you think, so it is. So which are you? Are you lacking or abundant? To answer that question truthfully, you have to ask yourself a prior question: Are you ignorant or aware? If you are suffering lack, you are ignorant. If you are transcending your ignorance, and coming into awareness, you are beginning to see and create more abundance, and to focus less on deficits. Do you think God sees any lack in the universe? Then why should you if you are like God?

All “evil” or :”bad” is based upon the belief in deficits. Do you see lack? Then you are still operating in the deficit model of the universe. Does God see evil, lack or wrong? Does God promote suffering, fear, pain, sickness, old age and death? Mine doesn’t. My God is infinite goodness, infinite health, infinite abundance, infinite life, and infinite peace. You get to choose your god also. In fact, we already have. Most of the time we have chosen the god of deficiency. You get to choose your universe. Most of the time we have chosen a universe of deficiency. You get to choose who you are. Most of the time, we have chosen a story of lack. You get to choose again. Right now you can choose again. This time you get to choose what you want.

Do you want to choose lack, disappointment, pain, anxiety, depression, sickness, old age and death? I doubt that you do, but we did in the past. So we get to choose again, now that we know that all of our experiences sprang from our previous unconscious assumptions, reactions and choices. We can choose again, this time consciously. We can choose reality this time, not some nightmarish story about reality. We can choose the abundant universe. Right now we can choose what we want and not what we don’t want. What we do want is right in front of us, right inside of us, covered over by our previous opinions, thoughts and judgments of lack, evil, unfairness, deprivation, and entrapment. All you have to let go of is your story of misery.

Is there an international or national deficit? Is there a lack of resources, a lack of food, a lack of intelligence, a lack of opportunity, a lack of free energy, a lack of human talent, a lack of creativity, a lack of unlimited wealth? Could we have heaven on earth? Do have to have shortages, wars, starvation, financial deficits, national insecurities, illiteracy, and religious antagonisms? Who said so? If we live in a universe of unlimited potentialities, free energy and great resources, why can’t we tap into and manifest those desired and wanted possibilities and actualities? We can. WE can start with you and me, and it will spread. We have five years to do it. Let’s start today. Start a spiritual revolution. You and I can do it. It only takes one or two of us. Jesus was just one guy who wasn’t afraid or ignorant, and he turned the whole world around, and he said we can do the same, or even greater. How can we do even greater? We have the unlimited internet ready to serve us in discovering and sharing the unlimited universe.

You have no one to talk to about your interests, wants, questions, doubts, and your growing edge? All people want to do is to gossip, watch meaningless TV, indulge in the misuse of drugs, alcohol and sex? Remember, they too are seeking a quick escape from what they don’t want. Buy a copy of the new CD, The Secret, for $30, or rent it online for $4.95, and/or buy a copy of the book (216 pp) from Amazon for $14. Invite a friend or two over to listen to it, and have a discussion afterwards. Meet several times to discuss if The Secret works for you, or any difficulties you have in making it work. Use the book by the same title for further group study and application. If this friend isn’t interested, invite someone else to join you. Start a little cell group for personal growth and fun challenges. Share other ideas or books that spark your intuition and excitement along the line of spiritual self-knowledge and financial success. You may need your group’s support if you run into doubts or fears, or need further techniques for abundance-realization.

Boredom Does Not Exist

Boredom Does Not Exist

What is surprising is that there is nothing to criticize about or complain about or nag about. The world you see out there is just an interpretation you are making according to an inner belief system which is not real. What a waste of energy!

We are highly ambivalent about what we call “reality”. We cling fiercely to it on the one hand, and are scared spitless that it is real, on the other hand. But you don’t have to worry, because neither of those reactions is relevant. To cling to reality is not appropriate because we don’t know what reality is, and we cannot control it in the way that we imagine, and the appropriate reaction to reality is to say “I wonder that this means.” If you cling to it or resist it, you won’t find out what it is.

We don’t know what reality is because the split second it occurs, we put a label on it, as something to hold onto or reject. We rarely find out what reality is due to our ignorance. We ignore the fact that reality is either grace or a teaching.

Whatever happens to us is Infinite Grace, wearing a mask of either plus or minus, right or wrong, good or bad, safe or dangerous, worthless or worthwhile, relevant or irrelevant. These opinions make it unlikely that we will see anything for what it is—the Infinite Good.

So everything in this mindset we are caught up in is either plus or minus, with virtually no neutral or infinite. Neutral might seem to be slightly better in some cases than plus or minus, but it often means just an uncertainty as to whether it is plus or minus. Infinite is far beyond plus, minus or neutral.

Our most appropriate choice about any event in our lives is to ask “What is this?” or “What does this mean?” Those questions open the door of opinionated judgment and allow for the possibility of Grace. If you don’t ask, you don’t receive the truth of it. If you do ask, the Universe answers.

It is humiliating to the ego to admit it doesn’t know. Humiliation is thus necessary to enlightenment. Egg on your face is perfect. Just let yourself feel it. It hurts good. Realize that you don’t know and that is the best news possible. “Don’t know” and its accompanying anxiety is Good News, the beginning of wisdom. What is the Good News about this apparent tragedy, nuisance, annoyance, boredom, or pain?

What is the good news, for example, about boredom? Let’s use our question “What is this?” What is boredom, then? Boredom is repetition. We tell ourselves nothing new is happening, nothing important is happening, nothing interesting is happening. There has never been a repetition.

Everything is new, important and interesting, except our state of mind. We’re not present. We are not here now. We are just re-living a dream. Come into the Eternal Present, and you will see and know the wonder of it. The Infinite is present in the Now. All potentialities are present now. Worlds we have never seen are present in this Now Moment. We have rarely ever been here. We live in a dream called the past or the future. We are not in reality. That is what boredom is, thinking we are living in repetitious reality. Reality is peaceful, fascinating, ever-changing, renewing, invigorating, interesting, and transformative. Reality is Grace. Reality is all you ever could want and didn’t know you have it.

If you could know reality or win the lottery, which had you best choose? 99% of the time we would choose the lottery out of our ignorance. That is the choice we make every day. We choose the symbols of the good instead of the Good Itself. The symbol comes and goes, and never satisfies completely. The symbol can be given or withheld, gained or lost. Grace itself cannot. Infinite Grace is reality. The Infinite Good is reality. Infinite Grace is here now. Choose it and enjoy the lottery or not. The lottery is only a passing symbol of Infinite Grace. Infinite Grace is yours, the lottery you may win or not, you may spend wisely or foolishly.

Infinite Grace is your lottery, and you have won it. The Infinite Good or Grace is yours and always has been forever. Its seeming absence is what makes you crazy, anxious, angry, depressed. It is only absent in your story about reality. Enlightenment is awakening from that story, that dream, that self-deception, that lie. Pain or anxiety is the teacher that awakens us.

It's All Grace, Have Some!

It’s All Grace, Have Some!

When something “evil” happens, we cannot accept it and we don’t know that we can’t accept it, and so it goes into the shadow world. Why did my sister die at the zenith of her young life? I don’t know, and the answer is not all in, and I can’t accept it.

Until we understand that grace is behind the tragic, we cannot accept it, even 50 yrs later. In the Matador movie, the hero stopped functioning when his son died. You can’t accept the tragic or the evil, even though you pretend that you do. So if there is something tragic that you don’t like, you can ask “What is this?” . Until you find out, you are stuck and you may have to re-live it a thousand times until you do. Then the anxiety of it is gone. When the meaning of the event changes even to a small degree, some degree of the anxiety is gone, but until the meaning reaches the level of understanding, or grace, it remains to that degree.

Tell me something you can’t accept, that you don’t like, that you resist and reject, something that still brings you pain or discomfort or anxiety, something you feel you should have been able to control or to prevent or to forget. That something is “evil” to you. Until you can see it as a gift of grace, a gift of good, it will remain in your psyche and produce anxiety. Anxiety that it was bad, anxiety that it made you a victim of something you didn’t want, and anxiety that it might occur again.

But the question is “What is this?” and “Why did it happen?” If you want the truth, drop your accusatory mindset, your judgmental reaction, and suspend all of your conclusions. If you judge it, you are stuck. If you suspend it, you are still free. When you know the infinite meaning of it, you are joyous.

I can only give you a general clue to the answer, the rest will be taught to you from within. The broad sweeping answer to the What Question and the Why Question is the Infinite Good. There can be no other answer because only the Infinite Good exists. However, just how it is specifically good for you in your evolution is a mystery and has to be asked by you personally and revealed to you personally. The presenting symptom is anxiety and the meaning is Grace.

Isn’t that marvelous? It’s marvelous because it is true. Truth in a sea of apparent Error. Yes, that is where we live, in a sea of apparent error.

Enlightenment is a lifelong voyage of truth-discovery in a sea of apparent error. Enlightenment is a process of discovery and revelation in which you joyously discover by trial and error that there is nothing but Infinite Good or Grace.

Trial and error can take lifetimes. Anxiety-Enlightenment Therapy is a shortcut with an Owner’s Manual. On Page One it says anxiety is your friend. That will save you a thousand years if you understand it. On Page Two it says that only the Infinite Good exists. That will reverse the effects and suffering of the last 1000 years as well. When you gather up the courage to investigate your entire identity story, you will discover how you have unconsciously created all of your own suffering, and the truth will be revealed to you. That is how discovery and revelation work together, and we call it the therapy of enlightenment.

If something happened that was judged as “bad” or “wrong” by you, you will not be able to accept it. Many things are hung up in that category, eating up our energy, and blocking our flow. We are not able to forgive and forget those events. We block them out and we block out the “disinterested” universe and the “guilty” person along with that blocking out.

Ask yourself if it is true that this “bad” event happened. It never happened. But if you don’t know this, you are stuck in your ignorance. You are stuck in your judgments. You are stuck in your accusations. You just lost your sanity and your freedom. Your reasoning was faulty.

The God of that reasoning is our religion, but that religion is false. There is no such God in reality. There is no such universe in reality. Noting “bad” ever happened except in our story. That is my Good News. That is the only sanity in an insane world.

You like it, but you can’t believe it? You want it, but you are afraid to want it? My discovery is that what you want is true, and what you don’t want is false. Unbelievable! But think about it, would the unlimited god invent a world of good versus evil if he had a choice.? Would you? Oh yes, you would want a world of choice and variety, but it would have to be just a drama, not reality.

Everything in this drama has a hidden purpose, that we discover the truth behind the apparent. We can afford to love it all, the apparently bad and the apparently good, because behind these appearances is the Infinite Good of Reality. Check it out! But don’t settle for appearances. You don’t have to. We have settled for less for lifetimes. Mediocrity has been our middle name. God is your middle name, so stop it! Wake up!

Good and evil, reward and punishment, sowing and reaping, is the name of the game we play on stage, in the drama. Even the god on stage plays by the same rules of karma. Off-stage there is nothing but Grace. Grace includes and transcends all rules. Rules are for safety. There is no danger in Grace. In Grace there are no victims and villains. The truth is just like you wanted it, but you didn’t know it. God is Grace, and all the rest is anxiety and teaching.

There is only grace and anxiety, and anxiety is the sometimes painful teaching to prepare us for receiving the grace. Karma (the law of sowing and reaping) is the teacher showing us what we believe, what we ask for and do not ask for. Karma is the teaching method, and as long as you hold other people to it, you will be held to it. You want “what goes around comes around” to be true for others but not for yourself. Whatever their reason was, was an excuse. Whatever your reason was, held water. This is ego reasoning.

What then is Grace? Grace is what we want and can’t even imagine to be true. Grace is Truth, the truth so huge we cannot even imagine it much less believe it. Grace is the seemingly impossible coming true. If this offends you, its just your ego that is offended.

Seeking our Good

Everybody is seeking their good non-stop, their good as they see it. Everybody wants their good. No one will take less than their absolute good, even if it means breaking the law. In fact, that is the only reason anyone breaks the law. Seeking your good, however, in a world like this is a treacherous occupation, and so we develop a very defensive posture. We focus this search for the good upon certain people, certain objects or substances, or favorite activities, usually unconsciously. If and when this search fails, we may switch our focus. However, the desire and pursuit of the good, whatever we consider it to be, cannot be eradicated.

The good, as we perceive it, is limited and therefore scarce, and subject to not getting it or losing it. All of our power struggles, including war, are due to this perception that the good is limited. Unawareness of the Unlimited Good is the cause of anxiety.

Our perception is that someone may block our good or withhold it: someone may leave us. Our perception is that certain events may block our good or withhold it: our house may burn down. Our perception is that someone may take our good: someone else may get the job I want. These perceptions create anxiety. Threats to our good are anxiety-producing because we are not functioning with spiritual awareness.

While you are in hot pursuit of your good, you are anxious. When you give up the pursuit of it, you get depressed. So we are always caught between trying harder and giving up. Neither one works because all visible, defined, finite goods are symbolic of some invisible, undefined, infinite good.

The dilemma here is that we don’t know what the invisible good is or where it is located. We only know the finite symbols of the good and we do not realize that they are just symbols. For instance, we don’t know that the desire for the good is infinite, or that the good itself is infinite. And more importantly we don’t realize that we are that which we seek. This lack of knowledge is called anxiety.

Let’s say that we are seeking the finite good of acceptance or at least to avoid rejection. We struggle and manipulate to obtain this missing good, but we fail. No one can control the acceptance factor in others because it is an inner condition of one’s own mind. What does finite acceptance represent? Infinite Acceptance or Wholeness.

Or let’s say that one is seeking wealth. What does the finite goal of wealth represent? Perhaps infinite security or infinite abundance. Wealth as an outer condition comes and goes. Wealth as a finite variable cannot be controlled. Inner wealth is not a variable. Inner wealth is infinite if we are conscious. Usually we are not conscious and so we are anxious.

Spiritual wholeness and wealth are facts, but their symbols are finite and changeable. Unawareness of our spiritual wholeness and wealth leads to anxiety-producing symptoms and behaviors. Our story makes us feel inadequate, impotent or deficient. We blame this victim experience on God, on others, on circumstances, and on ourselves. Blame requires punishment. Punishment solves nothing. Only awareness of wholeness and wealth is required. Awareness of wholeness and wealth then manifests in the finite outer world. The Infinite Good is a joyful reality. The rest is just a painful story.

Circumstances are the result of perception. Circumstances show your inner belief system. Things are always thoughts first. If the Infinite Good was not real, you could not have desires for some finite good. Circumstances are pictures of your belief system, your story. When your story changes, your circumstances must change. When you realize the Infinite Good, circumstances will change. As long as you believe in good- and-evil, your circumstances will reflect that. Good-and-evil are just a story that you believe. No wonder anxiety is necessary.

Any time you have pain you are assuming that your Infinite Good is not a present reality. This assumption occurs because you are not present or in reality. You are still hooked on your ego story. Fear is controlling your awareness. You are temporarily blinded to the reality of the Infinite Good. Anxiety registers that blindness. Thank God for anxiety. Thank God for pain. It’s your chance to wake up to the Ever Present Good.

First of all, you have to face something. You are defining your good in terms of what you don’t want. You don’t know what you want. You only know what you don’t want as symbols. You have limited symbols of your good, and that is what makes them seem bad. There is no bad. Bad is just an idea. Finite good is also just an idea. Finite bad and finite good always go together as a pair of opposites. We get hung up between them because we can’t figure out what is bad and what is good, and even if we could, we would not be able to control their movements. Good and bad move of their own accord and you have very little to do with either. You just go up and down with the waves.

Infinite Good, however, is below the radar screen. It does not even show up for the five senses to grasp it. Infinite Good cannot be contained within any finite concepts or control. Why would you need to control life if it is all absolutely, infinitely, unconditionally, and completely Good beyond our wildest imaginations and earthly knowledge and experience. How can you know the truth of this? Just let go of your story and it will appear. Our story is the only finite good-versus-evil that exists. There is not even one smidgeon of bad anywhere in this entire universe, just your opinion that there is. Let go and fly!

How can you know the fact of the Infinite Good? You will have to reason it out and then test it. What we are now assuming only seems reasonable. Actually it is insanity. How can geniuses like us buy into insanity? That is the better question. Indifference and skepticism seem sane, but they only produce more and more anxiety for which we need more and more inane and insane self-medication. There is nothing to medicate, nothing to fix. All we have to do is wake up, become aware, and let go of our story of sickness and brokenness. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” It ain’t broke. It doesn’t need fixing. Why fix nightmares, just wake up!

The idea of evil starts with one mistaken idea, and snowballs all the way downhill and crashes into the wall of war and the apparent experience of death. But you will have to reason out the truth of this. You will have to trace it back yourself and see the thousands of mistakes made in your story which culminates in what is called tragedy, illness, crime or death.
So if all 6 billion people on earth believe in evil, does that make it so? If every human who ever lived in the history of the world believed in evil, does that make it so? You have to decide. There were a few who did not, and that explains why Jesus said “Resist not evil.” Why resist something which does not exist?

You can go back to the beginning of time and watch it in slow motion, or you can just step into the Now, and you will know. Only the testimony of your senses tells you of evil, wrong, bad, pain, tragedy, suffering, aging, sickness or death. Your senses are materialistically indoctrinated by the religion of materiality and mortality.

Your senses do not tell you the whole truth. They report only symbols or symptoms, not Truth. Truth is gigantic. Truth is infinite. Truth can’t be put in a brain. The brain is floating in an endless ocean of truth and energy. You are not your brain. You are not your senses. You are not your body. You create your brain, your senses and your body. Every few months your entire body and brain have been replaced. You could just as easily replace your story. In fact, much easier. And when your story changes, your body changes and the whole world changes. Consciousness creates everything. Perverted consciousness creates the story of good and evil. True consciousness is the Infinite Good. We are not truly conscious and that is why we are anxious.

Seeking Your Good

Everybody is seeking their good non-stop, their good as they see it. Everybody wants their good. No one will take less than their absolute good, even if it means breaking the law. In fact, that is the only reason anyone breaks the law. Seeking your good, however, in a world like this is a treacherous occupation, and so we develop a very defensive posture. We focus this search for the good upon certain people, certain objects or substances, or favorite activities, usually unconsciously. If and when this search fails, we may switch our focus. However, the desire and pursuit of the good, whatever we consider it to be, cannot be eradicated.

The good, as we perceive it, is limited and therefore scarce, and subject to not getting it or losing it. All of our power struggles, including war, are due to this perception that the good is limited. Unawareness of the Unlimited Good is the cause of anxiety.

Our perception is that someone may block our good or withhold it: someone may leave us. Our perception is that certain events may block our good or withhold it: our house may burn down. Our perception is that someone may take our good: someone else may get the job I want. These perceptions create anxiety. Threats to our good are anxiety-producing because we are not functioning with spiritual awareness.

While you are in hot pursuit of your good, you are anxious. When you give up the pursuit of it, you get depressed. So we are always caught between trying harder and giving up. Neither one works because all visible, defined, finite goods are symbolic of some invisible, undefined, infinite good.
