Forgive and Release

To heal our minds we need to forgive and release the negative we see in other people while realising it isn't really there but is actually our own projection from our unconscious mind. We also need to forgive all situations that are uncomfortable or painful for us, Spirit will then remove the unconscious guilt from our minds. this leads to a feeling of lightening and peace or maybe nothing is felt but nevertheless this is the state it will lead to if consistent in your practice. You'll feel a real inner resistance in wanting to forgive but in this you need to remember you are never alone and actually always forgive with Gods Loving energy.

Amazingly you can really forgive situations whatever they may be and this also leads to the healing of the situation although you may need to forgive it for many years before it resolves itself into perfect peace. Or rather you experience perfect peace in the situation when before you felt unable.

Keep forgiving!

Sparkling Love

Can you see it? Can you feel it? All around you is sparkling Love. All around you is perfection. It is there.Your choice is to connect and remember to feel it, to let it guide your thoughts and words for that is what it needs to do to help you realise who you are. You're not a little person in a vast Universe you are an infinite Being who is one with God in a minute tiny dream Universe. You can't possibly suffer in any way when you realise that, realise you are pure invisible Spirit.

However to dream you are small and all alone (you are not) leads to fear, leads to sorrow and pain both mental and physical. You are not alone because God is wrapped all around this miniature Universe which is only a dream.And God is stretched out through it which isn't particularly hard for Him. We can connect with and feel that presence of perfection through choice, through slowly understanding that we chose to ignore God. Once you realise you chose what simply isn't true you can correct it. You prove how powerful you are by saying and thinking you can't do something. It's impossible to fail as you are part of God, yet you misuse your own infinite power and believe you can fail, you feel bad and choose to ignore that perfect Love by focusing on your 'failures'. Yet as long as you claim it wasn't you who made this fantasy world and that this strange existence of pretending we are all little bodies was forced on you then you deny your own power. And you deny Gods power for that power is one and the same. We share that Godly power because we are that power.

If we associate with God everyday then that will be our experience. If we associate with people who complain and fear everyday for the small or big things then we start to believe it. We start to believe we can fail and start to believe we can die. And that is how we got here by believing we are guilty yet God loves you whatever you may have done or not done. God never judges us, only Loves us because we are part of Him. God will never forgive us because God never ever ever thought anything bad about us, we did though. Ouch!

To reclaim our birthright and our true identity requires a desire to look our illusions in the face until we realise that we used to be blind but now we can see. They will melt away! You can see because you are supported every step of the way by Spirit. You are supported every step of the way to release the old thoughts you once believed were true, thoughts that you were bad and that other people are bad. The are all lies of the ego. The fearful thought system we have inside us, the little voice that says 'run' when we should face what we fear. The little voice that says 'don't try that' when if we were to try we would succeed beyond our wildest dreams.

Did you realise what you were? Did you realise how well supported you were? What will you try knowing you will never be judged, that you will only be loved forever and ever. Loved so much even the thought of saying goodbye to your little dream body would not bother you in the slightest. Now there's a thought!

What exists?

We live a life based on other peoples beliefs, we think about other countries and other peoples as others do and we even feel the same as others about different life style choices. Too often we ignore our own truth, our own deep values. The path of unwinding our beliefs from others can take a while but leads us to some more freedom and peace.

That alone is not enough- because we aren't really physical we are in fact invisible Spirit and this leads to some difficulty because most people relate to life as a body. We are made of the same stuff as God. We are made of Love and Peace. People still don't notice that each life is for such a short time, when we leave life we are no longer in a body and before we come once again into incarnation we are resolutely not physical yet this illusion persists because we trust more what we see with our eyes then intuitively feel and that needs to be reversed. But in doing this there is great inner resistance which surprises many because we are so used to the physical and so comforted by what is familiar even though it leads us to constant reincarnation and therefore constant death and all the small miseries of everyday life.

If we feel the truth of this then we have to undertake the spiritual path, slowly moving away from the judgemental and cynical attitudes of the world. What if what we are currently unfamiliar with was better? What if what is not physical is more peaceful and more blissful? More inspired and endlessly free? This path is more a process, one in which your own issues need to be forgiven, a process which will start you to understanding that what you see as wrong in others is actually a projection of what is in your own subconscious mind and that by forgiving others you are actually forgiving a long suppressed part of yourself. Furthermore you come to realize that this is a dream and in fact everything is projected, there just is no life actually happening and it's only through the power of our vast collective mind we perceive this mad little dream at all. But we need to accept it is our error of perspective that causes our own suffering because what we have created we can un-create. If we feel life is being done to us and that we have to suffer then we take away our power. We have a power to choose how we view things and ultimately learn there is a way of viewing that once understood leads to the Peace of God and makes it impossible to suffer at all, then once our lifetime is complete we need be born no longer for we have nothing left to resolve, nothing left to be angry at, no more blame left, no more guilt and only Love for the people and life situations that we used to claim were bad or evil when in reality it was our projection of our own guilt and anger from our subconscious mind being put on them. If you truly want Peace then forgive first and never judge, it is the only way.

But your first step is starting to wake up to your own freedom to choose how to view things, to realize that you don't have to react to anything, that instead you can forgive what isn't really happening anyway.

To Start

Welcome! To start to see the world differently we need to be willing to look at how we see ourselves and others, there is no sense in believing the worst in others because this is really a thought we hold about our self. Everything we see in this world is a projection from our mind, by judging it we stay at the awareness level we are and by forgiving it we get closer to the reality we know of as God or Enlightenment. It comes down to making a daily decision, a simple decision can change our lives and our entire future, so choose wisely!

If we look to changing our minds and belief system it will have a bigger effect on our happiness then chasing that 'perfect' partner or job. (not that we shouldn't do that as well, but it won't bring you what you think and secretly hope it will- try it and see! Has it so far?).

Well these choices are simple but a thousand thoughts and questions seem to come into our heads to distract us from a simple choice on how we need to view people and therefore ourselves. I can recommend a great book called Disappearance of the Universe for giving you the background to make forgiveness a real possibility and not just the hope that we can do it.

The real battle and victory in life is within, and remains unnoticed by anyone but those who know you most well and even they may only notice a change but not understand it.

I wish you to start creating a forgiveness paradise- for only you have the power to do that, Spirits help immediately follows if you choose to pursue it further beyond the usual casual curiosity.Peace.

Ego Alert!

Watch out! There's something nasty within, the inner enemy that causes all sin! Within us all is the ego, which is that which wants us to believe in this world of illusion and therefore to believe in separation. We are not separate from each other and not separate from God - KNOW THAT!

As we progress on the spiritual path it can seem bright and nice with only the occasional dark cloud, however as we become truly ready for change a surprising and for many, scary process happens. We become aware deeply of the ego, aware of how it tries to scare us by whispering we might be ill or urging to judge that person because they don't wear the right clothes. The ego is about separation, it thrives in it and can only exist when the mindset of separation reigns supreme. It's shocking because as we realise the level of control the ego has it can be crushing and deeply sorrowful and yet we should remember that we now are AWARE of what it has done and tries to do, meaning things will be different from here on in. Allow yourself that temporary sadness, feel the loss and realise you miss only one thing, your oneness with God, there is no other form of security, not with money or with a loving partner. By desiring anything in this world over and above God means relegating God to second place and the ego to first place.

This is an illusion we live in here, a place that feels cut of from direct experience of God, in our minds it feels as if God is a long way a way, but that is an illusion for God is close- can you feel that?

You must become aware of what is wrong first so you can make it right, don't feel bad for observing your lack of mental control, for example the fact you judge people for any reason. You can't see anyone but yourself wherever you look in this world, whatever you see is a projection of what is inside you! So it is essential to see everyone as God so you can see yourself as God. It is essential to forgive everyone for anything or we will never accept that God forgives us for everything, in fact God doesn't acknowledge this reality exists so whatever you think is happening here is not happening. We crave the love and eternal peace of God and once we really understand that we do we can move to the second stage which is changing our mind habits, changing our thought system away from the ego thought system to a thought system in harmony with God. By forgiving as God would do we start to merge with God, this is an illusion this whole world, make forgiving yourself and this whole world a priority because it is not really happening. Screams of pain can only occur when you believe it's real. Forgive who you think is bad now and you can feel waves of Gods peace coming to you, forgive yourself for all you think you have done. Put your attention not on worrying about things but on forgiving everyone, for if you can't believe the people of the world are divine you never will believe you are. It's a step by step process, use your whole life to take you to that point of non-judgemental love, you either think the way of the world (and therefore the ego) or you think the way of God. no exceptions. You choose, for you will live with the consequences.

Change

We can be inspired or bewildered by change, yet that is where we find ourselves, in an ever changing world. No government will stay the same even in non democratic countries, weather patterns won't stay the same, the people we share our lives with won't stay the same and even we won't stay the same changing for better or worse depending on influences ( but it's always our decision how to respond).

Fear not change. hear those words and rest in peace even while you are in a body. What you feel peaceful towards cannot possible hurt you. Forgive what you dislike and discover peace descending upon you from on high. The fathomless peace of God is within your grasp if you can learn to forgive all that you consider wrong or inharmonious. There can be no other path to God than through Peace, so if one is offered don't even consider it. You reach God by working with God, by working with Peace and Love and deep forgiveness of all you previously considered 'wrong'. Consider God real and all else illusory. Forgiving with God is what's important, not which country you find yourself living in, not whether you have a glamorous job or perhaps no job, not whether you have made many mistakes in your life or comparatively few. there is truly only one mistake for which you will truly suffer and that is separation from God, for God is what you are. Living in a world full of people who hate and judge and chase what will only harm them is sorrowful indeed but living with God in such a place changes ones possibilities. It helps you see opportunities to practice forgiving your confused Brothers and Sisters which will benefit them and you in this pained world. The pain is there because the forgiveness isn't. The war is there because instead of understanding and friendship there are nearly constant attempts to control due to fear. Yet the moment you start to awake in God is the moment fear starts to die, though remember before it goes it will kick up an almighty series of internal earthquake tremors in its attempt to foil Gods forgiveness master plan. By staying calm they will pass, by forgiving yourself for the fact you fear you help release the fear from your being that much sooner.

Be loyal to your forgiveness because it is preferable to fast cars and financial freedom, lots of friends and even sex. (I know you can't believe it... can you? But that's because you woefully underestimate Gods power and your own ability to unite with God). However Rome wasn't built in a day and enlightenment is a multi-life challenge. Moving from incarnation to incarnation and refusing to accept nothing less than Gods light in our minds is a demanding business and it starts today by forgiving what you think you don't like.

Forgive what you find ugly in Politics and Business, they only refelct what you have refused to see in your own mind. Our minds are vast containers comparable to an iceberg in the sea where the tip above the water is our conscious mind and where the vast bulk of the iceberg below the water is our sub-consciounce mind where so much past life pain, fear and guilt is stored. The part of the iceberg below the surface of the water (our subconscious mind) influences our view of life, we look through the lense of our guilt and claim we see corrupt people and evil when in reality to help us cope with our tortuous pain we project our own guilt out and claim it's in fact others who are guilty (how convenient). However by acknowledging its our own projection and forgiving others we free ourselves from a portion of our own guilt. We can't hold anything against anyone else without holding it agaisnt ourselves as well.

Forgive now!

Is there anything more urgent? Is there anything more right? We spend so long laying the blame for our sorrow on anything outside of us whether it be past partners, bosses, lack of money that we don't realise the Ultimate solution is within us. Namely Forgiveness. With this tool it is possible to right all wrongs, with this tool we can set sail for God and not as an idea but as an ever lasting experience. We cling to the teachings of the past and even fail to apply them and in our mind we imagine God is light years from us, never mind actually within and without us. Surging through our veins, directing our speech if we allow and filling our heart with loving guidance on matters large or apparently small.

How to reach what seems too good to be true? Forgive. Forgive your brothers and sisters totally (and that requires perseverance) forgive yourself and know that you are worthy. God never judges- only humans do. Judgement should be considered mental violence of the highest order. Even a 'criminal' who opens their heart to God is accepted without judgement and receives only love. Yet we can't feel enough love to forgive that criminal ourselves. Yet what we hold against others we secretly hold against ourselves for we actually believe that we aren't deserving of such infinite acceptance.

Where to start. Realise we are Spirits not bodies. Realise God is Spirit and nothing physical, so value love over any physical success. Practically - make love don't have sex, until your love for each other can override and feels more powerful than the physical sexual act know you can deepen your experience and do better. Send Love to someone who annoys you rather than thinking dark thoughts in your mind about them, God can see your mind. God will not judge you for such thoughts but offer to join with you in sending loving thoughts to those you would normally judge and hate. In joining together with God in this Highest of Endevours you become one and you are on the path. From there it is a matter of absolute consistency, forgiving your own errors but striving to do better and never saying the word can't . With god anything is possible and that's just for starters.
