1. To come to know
me, truly, as the "Son God", honor first the Son that dwells already
within you, in that place beyond all illusion, self-doubt, judgement, and
fear.
2. It is true
that I was sent forth from the mind of God to be the light that lights the
world. This is also the truth about your own existence, for it holds no
other purpose in the mind of God.
3. You are
already all that I am; you have merely chosen to delay your recognition
and expression of this fact.
4. You have
never sinned, nor failed at any time. You have, however, chosen to forget
your holy innocence and use time to 'prove' your judgement of yourself.
5. It is not
possible to earn the love of God. It is only possible to acknowledge or
deny it.
6. Nothing seen
or experienced is caused by a source outside of you.
7. Nothing has
ever been done to you, for you cannot be a victim of a world you have
created.
8. Christ is
not who I am, in opposition to what you are. For if you can recognize
Christ in me, you must already be seeing through the eyes of Christ, which
is deep within the 'you' you have mistakenly come to believe you are.
9. To seek,
begins your journey of remembering God. But when will you be willing to
acknowledge you have found? For only then does Life truly begin.
10. Self love,
not worship of me, is the doorway to peace eternal.
11. My
crucifixion did not save you, for this implies that your Creator had
already condemned you, and Love does not condemn.
12. My
crucifixion was the final lesson chosen by me in learning the one lesson
before you now: there are no circumstances with the power to overcome the
mind's willingness to choose for the extension of love. If you see this,
you have already joined me in the resurrection.
13. The world
you think you see is only a reflection of how you have already decided to
look upon yourself. As you come to see yourself clearly through the eyes
of Love, you will come to look out upon only a loving world.
14. Your
journey began long before not only the birth of the body you have learned
to call 'me', it began before the birth of all worlds.
15. No one is
without direct communion with God. It may, however, require a little time
for you to truly overcome stage fright, and take up your proper place as
Christ, who teaches only Love. Until then, teachers will be brought to you
who are sent to help you dissolve your fear of your real Self.
16. You do not
know what a single thing is, or is for. However, the Holy Spirit (which
speaks only when the ego's opinions, judgements, and needs are stilled)
does. Let Him reveal how all events are guiding each and every soul to the
remembrance of Truth: Only Love is Real.
17.Forgiveness
is your one great need. But it has nothing to do with others, nor with
what you have believed has been done to you. Forgiveness is accomplished
as the willing soul turns within in innocence, desiring only to learn how
to see through the eyes of Christ, for only these eyes can show you God.
Forgiveness is the supreme recognition that no harm has befallen
you. Only an opportunity to enlighten your life through the choice to
extend only Love.
