There are times when we all need comfort

There are times when we all need comfort, the touch of a hand, words that soothe, the warmth of the sun.  You are in the throes of change, in the shift and swirl of an Earth redefining herself, the push and pull, the slash and burn of evil and good.

It is growth; it does not feel good.  It takes its toll and it is supposed to.  Those souls that are brave enough to let go and jettison attachment will climb the highest mountain.  Those that do not will continue the game of good and evil, right and wrong.  If you do not like the game, do not play.

Believe me when I say that we know how difficult it can be.   And believe me when I say that we did it and so can you.  Practice patience.  Stand and face the sun.  Do not engage.  Do not let the barbs of resistance weigh you down.

In the big picture all of this is good.  It is testing your strength, you are stronger.  Remember, beloveds, there is nothing that can harm you.  Sometimes adventures are stressful, but that stress can be used to one’s advantage.  It can, as the ear of corn, strip away the husk of the illusory world, leaving behind the golden light of truth.

Rumi

If prosperity you seek

If prosperity you seek, if wealth and opulence and the good things in life you would have as part of your reality, then you must break the mold of complacency and boredom.  And you must prosper in being outrageous.  You must imagine yourself out of who you used to be, using the mind of the child called imagination.  And you must go forward unhindered by the appearance of failure.  It is the greatest tool we would ever know, anti-magnetism.  But you will not know failure because at your core is God, and God does not know lack and limitation, does not know penny pinching, does not know starvation, suffering, worry.  If you know these things, then you must know God a bit more.  You must take your attention from the illusory world that encourages failure and you must put it at the throne of your God.  Is that too simple for you? 

To say that you cannot take the steps towards your own beatific life is a beautiful excuse, and you shame your truth.  There used to be a world and now there is something new and vibrant and alive, and that is the world within you, that is the world that is pulling you forward into your success.  But you will not find it back there, you will not find it back in the dust and the mold, in the dark recesses of your past.  You'll find it right now, as soon as you make that decision, and as soon as you are willing to go with God forward into the outrageous life where anything goes, anything.  That is the hallmark of brilliance, and you were created, as was I, from the mind that is all brilliant, all prosperous.  I will help if you will help yourself. 

You are not mired in the past, you are free, you are now the master that walks the earth.  You need very little, but you can have it all.  Just try.  Let your mind wander and then pick it up and build with it.  To say or to feel or to imagine failure is the greatest disservice you could ever do your God.  And God doesn't really care, because God just waits with open hands, and great coins of gold fill up the palms.  Is that what you want?  Then know your way to a prosperous life.  To know your way is to know God, the source of all supply, always and forever.  

I believe in you.  Believe in yourself.  Laugh at failure.  Laugh at the warped concept of lack and limitation.  It's not real.  It's only a tool and the tool is old.  The fields are furrowed and life is growing therein.  Why not join it?  Become outrageous.  You can do it. 

Babaji

This is only a book, my beloveds; this life is only a book

This is only a book, my beloveds; this life is only a book.  You are the writer.  This life is a canvas and you are the painter.  This life is a song and you sing life into it.  It is all you; it is not what anyone puts upon you.  It is you, but it is the true you. 

If you can accept that, then you will humbly accept what happens in your life, not resist it, but accept because if you truly believe and know the God you are, and this God you are has created this life; if you truly believe, then you will not resist. 

Pain comes from resistance, suffering comes from more resistance.  We were bound by karmic debt.  To leave the cycle, we must know that we are the center, that we are not victims of any circumstance, environment or opportunity.  There is no one to blame for our condition.  There is no past, there is only now. 

Buddha

It is the wise soul that recognizes

It is the wise soul that recognizes and with least resistance moves beyond any problem, any situation.  It is the wiser soul who does not get involved in such dramas.

If you know as the soul that you are, that you are observing the feast of life, then indeed is everyone everywhere a chef dishing out great or humble portions of life spiced the only way that tastes good for them.

You do not have to eat nor sup nor imbibe, but noticing might be a good idea.
Rumi

Do not let so many things bother you

Do not let so many things bother you.  If you are the river, that which has formed in the illusion of solidity can be overcome in many different ways.  To recognize something as a block is to slow down one’s journey to be as heavy as that block.

Yes, we must slow down to recognize and to formulate an idea of overcoming such a thing, but to stay there, to become a block ourselves is a detriment, and to hold on to such a thing is an anchor in the sea, submerging in the world of illusion.

There are challenges that will arise, but what of it?  If indeed you are in, of, and as God, can God not conquer all lovingly? 
Rumi

How can there be problems when there is God?

How can there be problems when there is God?  It is the simple healing of the separated self that cures all. 
Who are you if you are not God?
