How great is your fear?

How great is your fear?  How strong are your diversions?  How beautific is your denial?  All of these are illusions, none of these—hear me—have power.  They have no power.

If you encourage your God to perform as the buffoon and to feed the hungry, empty pit of fear, what a great disservice you do your kindness.  These are not the days to see life as a weak human being, weak of mind, of consciousness, of body, of determination, of focus, weak of soul.

Imagine having all of your power taken away from you by an illusion.  Imagine watching it happen every day of your brief life, being something you truly are not.  Imagine knowing your immortality, your ability to create life, and imagine sitting patiently while the world of lies says you cannot.  Imagine for a moment the ability to heal and cure, and imagine being convinced on some level that only a pill takes care of the pain and suffering.  

Imagine stretching heaven all across the universe to come to a place like Earth.  And imagine forgetting that you did just that.  Is it glorious being human?  Truth is that it can be.  Humanity is the child to the God you are, to the almighty I AM.  Humanity is the worker to the great feminine thought, from the very center of the sun of all of life.  God is humanity's good fortune, and yet humanity takes it upon itself, convinces itself sheerly out of fear and ignorance that it is the redeemer and sustainer, that it is god.  It is time for new perspective.

Do you realize who you are?  Can you stomach that?  That you are the great of the great?  That your hands can raise the dead?  That if walking on water were your thing, you'd be half way to China?  But what is your thing?

It is not what you think it is.  It is very simple.  It is simply to be who you are despite all the odds against your realizing that truth.  It is to pare down your life till you come to a place where there is no forest for the trees, where there is only light and you stand before God naked, unashamed and smiling.

The Beloved Master said, to lose your life shall you be born again.  You've already lost your lives.  Why hold off your birth?  Now is the time to begin to really live, really know the meaning of life, and that is to live life abundantly in God, and to point God in your direction, and to live in that moment that is eternal and all-giving.  Open your arms, beloveds.  There is a lot to accept.  Begin first by accepting your own greatness and all else is added onto you.  And that is really living.

What good does it do if I tell you that your soul does not hurt?

What good does it do if I tell you that your soul does not hurt?  Very little, because your pain is real, as real as you can imagine.  But I say this to you, can you imagine no pain?  Can you imagine no sorrow?  Can you imagine joy?  Because you take the time to implant this thought in your being, it will awaken within you.  

And yes, it is very difficult to stay the course, to focus beyond the appearance of suffering, but for now you must.  I am not offering you a quick fix nor do I have a simple solution.  What I do have is the wisdom to impart to my beloved students, that you are doing it.  You are succeeding.  You are moving beyond the world of illusion.  

You cannot give up, but you must move on.  You must not take the container that you have created through your small mind and try climbing up and out; you must walk through it, you must break the walls and along the way there may be pain, but you can overcome this pain.  Do all that you must to tend for the physical.  Do what you must, but rely not on the world to cure you, rely only on the truth that liveth within you.

When we look at the world, how is it we can discern what is real from illusion?

When we look at the world, how is it we can discern what is real from illusion?  That is not so difficult a question to answer. When one lives and breathes and moves the beautiful movements with God, such truths and untruths are evident.

Develop your life with God, not the external God, but the inner fire that is pure poetry, self-love and forgiveness.  Develop such unbreakable bonds with the I AM and you will feel what is right and what is not.

Remember that waves appear to turn dark and opaque before and during a storm.  So, during the height of an emotional rise, stay with God; do not be pulled into the churning sea.

But, Rumi, accomplishing such a thing is so difficult! 

When you believe in dragons, perhaps it can be difficult.  When you are warmed by the sun and caressed by the sweet morn, there is no place for dragons, nor armies, nor great seas of slate.

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

I follow the gentle flow

I follow the gentle flow.  I am the flow and the flow follows me.  I sit beneath the branched nature and the shadows of the past wander aimlessly over and above me; I pay them no mind nor heed.  My ample humanness reveres the earth, yet I am a universe unto myself, in the image and likeness of the love eternal and everlasting. 

I found my freedom and my nature in freedom.  Where have you found yours, my children?  My heart reaches to each of you, not to find a home but to find a sister or brother, a true friend, a true God that knows him and herself, that we might converse without the need to own or beguile or make a point.  And I listen for your silent words, and pray you do not anticipate mine. 

So many of us here have risen from the great depths to the heights that are no heights at all.  What separated us was all that separates you, the grand illusion.  And what attaches us to such an illusion?  Nothing but fear. 
Buddha

Here is the opportunity

Here is the opportunity.  It is offered to every soul; it is on the table with the feast.  But so many simply gorge themselves, they see not subtleties; they feel not the radiance of light from every candle of truth upon that table that the Master has placed for each of us.  Sit with me for a moment, beloveds.  Do not look to sustenance, do not look to ego satisfaction, do not look to feeding fear.  Look to who you are. 

 

Of course, that is all up to you, but when God knocks at the door, who will not open?  Where will you hide?  Where will you go?  To another life?  It follows, you know.  You never forget.  You shall not keep repeating this process-- hear me, beloveds.  That is why now you must make your stand. 

You must weigh your truth against your illusion.  You must weigh your knowing against your needs.  You must become.  When the going is so difficult and tough, when you cannot think another thought nor walk another step, when you cannot pray another word, call me.  I have been there.  We all have. 

This is not easy.  This thing called being human has been made extremely difficult.  I know you all can do it.  I know that your life, your light, your strength goes beyond whatever you imagine yourself to be.  These are the moments where greatness is defined by what you think and how you back it up by achieving an ultimate love, which is putting the heart of your heart behind your truth and going forward and caring not what the world thinks or feels or judges about you.  It will not be easy, but the power of your soul, once you touch that starlight, overcomes everything.

Right now can be the epiphany or the soul realization you long for

Right now can be the epiphany or the soul realization you long for.  Gather up your materialism, your needs and wants and desires, do what you must, but know that real life, living a true life is living a life in God.  And yes, how can one believe what one does not see?  Because one must know.  How can one know?  Because one is born of that truth.  What is truth?  It is, when everything else is taken away, what remains.  It is light; it is the trillion stars in the heavens.  It is the mind that created those stars and the heavens and you, and me.

Know this: we are not separate.  We have never been and never will be.  The amnesia is passing swiftly.  If you do not yet glimpse, you shall.   What is real, what is true, is not what the world would have you think.  What is love is, after you have suffered all the pain from resistance, what you choose because there is nothing left to choose.  But that in itself is a choice; is it not?

I applaud each and every one of you; you must not ever surrender.  You are above untruth.  You move with the thought of God, and God calls you home, to the home within you.  That is being successful.  That is finding bliss.  That is becoming Buddha.  That is the Christ resurrection.  It is simply deciding that within eventually becomes without. 

As you love yourselves through, as you care enough to care.  You will begin to understand that THE WAY is and always has been the only way, and that is to love.  Your world is starved for it, your fragileness screams for it.  Your soul attempts to provide it but you are caught in the cycle of self-flagellation and judgment and criticism. 

But think, it does not work; no matter what the world or society puts upon you, it does not work unless it promotes love.  Will you not join me in calling it a lie?  Be the bravest of the brave and forge your life through the darkness because, truthfully, this entire journey is but an illusion.  And when you, to your true home return, this journey will be the dream rather than the reality. 

With deep love,

Divine Mother

There is discomfort in your world

There is discomfort in your world, the macrocosm and the individual microcosm.  There are mountains of worry, plateaus of hate, oceans of fear, and but a handful that would rise above each.  We seek that handful and that handful would seek others.  How long will this process continue?  I presume so long as there is the illusion of darkness and the virus of fear. 

Know that you are spirit.  Know that the golden light of the sun courses through your veins and that your heart of hearts cannot be stilled, nor can your words of truth be silenced.

Even though no one listens, there are those who listen.  Many more than you might imagine.
Lahiri Mahasaya

We cannot deny the fear away

We cannot deny the fear away.  To exist in a world of fallacies we must not become one ourself.  Is the past, the fear of such a thing, of such memories, of the pain so great?  Yes, we must feel and we must conquer. 

We must emerge victorious through love, through diligence.  We might bend but never shall we break.  We might experience night upon dark night where we are the only fire, or so we think.  There are hyenas circling.  It is why this plane, what you would call reality is not so very high.

When you stand in the light that is your unconquerable soul, when you stand as beloved God, you no longer suffer this plane.  It matters not what your karmic responsibilities may be.  God calls home his/her beloved children when they have opened the door and refused to close it.

Can your past that sleeps with the dead wreak such havoc in the opportunity that is every present moment?  Is it that strong?  It is not and shall never be.  And you will rise into the glory that we have risen. 

Do not, do not give up.  Do not fall victim to the cloak of illusion.  It will blind you, it will seduce you, it will bring you to your knees.  And my beloveds, my arms grow strong from lifting you.
Babaji

There are fields aplenty

There are fields aplenty where lie buried the bodies and minds of great souls who never quite achieved their potential, realized their dreams, or never gave themselves the chance.  Beloved, life, this experience called life affords everyone the opportunity to succeed.  Life is blameless.  The mountains smothered for eons under blankets of icy snow do not complain.  The tree deprived of water suffers without complaint, the parched desert sands blame not the scorching sun.  Each living soul bears its burden with a noble grace and quiet strength the human animal could well learn from. 

Flow as wind across waves, as summer breeze over flowered fields.  Meet resistance with a humble resolve to love greater still.  Diffuse a potential turbulent situation with loving surrender, maintaining a balance of inner peace and self-knowing.  The choice to make a choice is yours. 

Dive deep into the feeling that urges you one direction or another.  Demand of God crystal-clear guidance and the silent strength of stones; the Master delights in the conviction and willingness to act.  Or listen devoutly until the inner voice quietly commands action.  Use the strength that is your divine heritage.  Unlock the chamber of darkness and despair and embrace the hands that reach for you.  The days have come to trim the fat off blame, to file through the bars of illusion and behold the fragrance of a new day borne.
