These days are rife with the choice

These days are rife with the choice.  From whence comes action, positive, loving, compassionate; from the mind or from the heart?  To think with the mind is to suffer an emptiness; to be in the heart is to have a friend.  To practice mind is that, a practice.  As one with the heart is a life.  We don’t practice life, we live it.  There is a difference and there is meant to be a difference.  And there is also the strength to move such a heart into the mind.  

No mind, no brain can interpret the divine, the universal mind.  But it had to go somewhere, and so the heart unlocks it, the divine heart, universal heart, universal love.  And here is a secret that was not a secret thousands of years ago: love unlocks everything.  Everything.  And then there is no confusion between what is what and which is which, because everything is from the heart, the heart mind, because everything is from love.And that love is a single choice.  It’s not complicated; it never was and never will be. 

And when we speak of love we speak of something that is so prevalent.  It is like air upon Earth, air that is not polluted or toxic.  It is the magnetism that you feel when you place your hands very, very close together, and you feel that warmth, but there’s something else, something unique, something Goddess-like, something mystic.  You have great power in your hands, in the ability to truly touch, when you realize that the heart travels to everything you touch if you let it.  The heart moves down your arm and into your hands and fingertips, it spreads, it envelops, it blesses, it can cause miracles.

Buddha

What place at your table do you sit truth?

What place at your table do you sit truth?  What power do you give illusion?  Oh this marvelous puzzle!  Call it the folly of humanity or the insecurity of soul; they both spell the same word: fear.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of fear… or something like that.  Life is not all a valley, and you are more atop a peak than you might realize. 

You have come to understand the value of choice.  Choose to be shocked, choose to be elated, choose to be separate; choose as you will but include God in that choice and let it blossom into a marvelous garden.  One moment at a time, every moment as rich or richer than the next.  This is living.  Do not weep for the dying.  Be strong.  Oh yes, and I am not through with you yet.

When we speak of the devil, of what actually do we speak?

When we speak of the devil, of what actually do we speak?  A being?  A soul?  A curse?

I am bedeviled; he or she bedeviled me; that one has the devil in him.  I have come to know the devil as the prince of fear.  Every soul that enters your world is almost certainly introduced to the devil, and that usually begins at home with family.  The devil takes many forms: beguilement, bewilderment, anger, rage, resentment.  Each of these is a piece of the wardrobe that fear utilizes. 

There was a great long time ago an angel that came upon your world.  This magnificent angel had a counterpart, another radiant star.  This experiment called Earth could not be as it is without the balance, the dedication and commitment of these great angels.  Each anchors a half of wholeness, one darkness, the illusion of; and one light, the truth.

This world of duality is important because the soul that aspires to the greatness of God, the homecoming, begins its lesson in such a place, in what might be called the lower realms, the worlds of illusion.  By the grace of almighty God is every soul in your green Earth blessed with free will, free choice. 

Bear in mind, beloveds, the light of God, the seed of God, the radiance of God did not and has never created pain, suffering, evil.  While being human we have all done such a thing by ourselves.   How can one bind someone’s vision of an all-expansive God?  Simple: utilize fear.  Make somebody afraid and they are controllable, malleable, indecisive. There is no escaping that truth, to overcome such a malady we must stand tall and be responsible for our part, active or placid. 

This thing called the devil is still important in your world.  It is the final hurdle, if you will.  It lives because it is given permission, it is given power, it is given strength, it is endowed with and exudes the tool of fear.  The devil is not the great angel that came upon this world and anchored the illusion of darkness.  It is rather the result of a race consciously or unconsciously separating itself from its creator.  There are great benevolent beings working on behalf of love, attempting to heal and patch this separation before it goes too far.

Remember that everything, every thought is a choice, and if your thoughts are other than love, then so will you enlist the aid of illusion, will you encounter the devil that is fear.  Doing nothing is a choice, choosing ignorance is a choice, feigning indifference is a choice.  But how many would stake their claim to their birthright, face to face with the prince of fear?

Eventually we all must.  The prince wears many faces, many masks, so one must ask oneself, what mask do I wear today?  Am I who the world wants to see?  Am I an idea, an ideal, a façade?  Or am I the child of God in every way, okay the way I am? 

My children, the choices are constant, but they are simple: I am of God, as God, in God, always and in all ways.
Rumi

We would speak of forgiveness

We would speak of forgiveness.  We do not judge, nor label nor wish for retribution.  The soul entombed by ego-personality is very capable of that.  We would turn you to your thoughts, as thoughts are prayers, a magnetism that draws and attracts a likeness to itself.  The frustration of humanness. 

Why live a human life at all?  Why indeed?  The eternal quest for experience brings us many places, to many realities, through many truths, trials, and tribulations.  The soul’s efforts at rising above bodily entrapment are priceless examples of experience, timber for the fires of evolution into at-one-ness.  We must leave you to your own devices once a choice has been enacted.  Yet, try we do to teach a kinder way.

You ask, is there a kinder, more compassionate way?  Yes, beloved.  Forgiveness.  Humanity is mistake-prone by its very nature and design.  The limitations imposed on the human race exclude no one.  All life forms are subject to the same strict laws.  Why?  Because we are all one, eternally and forever.  Judgments and criticism and humiliation constrict the growth of the originator and begin a multitude of self-destructive, self-created acts of inverted love.  We cannot penetrate an aura polluted by such a frequency, and the recipient of such sees only itself in others, in all life everywhere.

Do you wish yourself so blind and love emaciated?  What went before, what has passed, has passed.  Let go the reins of shame and forgive.  None be blamed.  To thine own self be true.  Accept responsibility.  Examine your choices.  Own your experiences, and seek the strength, courage and guidance that precede change.  Love thyself, enough to forgive, make heartfelt amendments and seek the kinder way. 

The light of the Beloved illumines all with forgiveness.  It is the soul that never forgets, so oft by guilt, shame or the illness that locks it into the karmic cycle of reincarnation.  Forgiveness is a major emotional body release, wrenching from soul the veil that disguises true self-love and unconditional love for one and all.  Any act of forgiveness invites the Grace of God deeper into one’s life.  The loving art of forgiveness brings the courageous soul closer to the rapture we would call Heaven.
