It makes sense that if you keep seeing people as being able to affect you, as being the cause of your problems, as being to blame, as being an enemy, or having power over you, you will simply have to...
Disassociation plays a big part in making your forgiveness seem much more difficult.
Disassociation means that you are "not associating your self" with something. You're trying to put distance between you and something.
The problem is that you use disassociation on your...
When we separated from God, believing we had sinned, we projected the idea of this sin onto God, blaming Him for abandoning us and forcing us to be separate.
When we then entered into guilt, we projected this guilt onto God,...
Often Holy Spirit will say to me:
"Let me"
And often I am confused about what he really intends or means or what I should do in order to let Him. Like, does he want me to let Him express through me?...
Here's why having a thought of attack or judgement about someone else automatically includes you and attacks you.

The way existence is set up, you're supposed to be completely provided for by God, you're supposed to be connected to His Mind, you're supposed to receive unlimited Power and Love from Him which you extend all the time, and...
It sounds counter-intuitive, but the more you try to rely on your own separate self, the more afraid you will become.
This means you are trusting the ego, and since the ego is completely unfounded and uncertain, it can only lead...
There is a reason why you should not judge, and it has absolutely nothing to do with other people or whether it hurts them.
There is also a reason why you need to forgive, and it has absolutely nothing to do...
But this is going to require that you come to accept and live from a very simple truth, which is somewhat 'secret' for most people: the secret to salvation is that you are doing this to yourself.
What this means and...
The ego was His idea of exploring what it might be like to be separate from God - to end Life.
The ego has since done a pretty good job of ending life, or at least, pretending to.
The ego is thus...
The ego loves to tell you that when such-and-such happens, you MUST have a reaction.
It acts like it's a given. This is because it believes that a 'cause' outside of you has the power to affect you. This so-called cause...
There is a certain leap of faith required in learning to trust and work with Spirit. It's like opening up to trusting that something completely out of sight and out of control is going to be there when you need...
Jesus suggested to me that some form of meditation might help me to find some 'clarity and hope'. His instruction was to relax.
So the past couple of mornings I've done a very simple, easy meditation which completely quiets the mind...
The ego mind is a mind of separation and conflict.
The ego mind always has two faces - a persona and a shadow.
Within the ego mind itself, one part of itself is against the other part. The ego mind attacks itself,...
"Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why nothing you see means anything. You do not know what it is for. Therefore, it is meaningless to you. Everything is for your own best interests. That is what it is for; that...
Sometimes (ok, often), I think I know what is good or bad. For myself, for other people etc. But I have to question this. Do I really know anything?
What if my efforts to help are hurtful? What if I'm distracting...
There are two things that you can receive from the world when you are being a victim:
1) It does bad stuff to me
2) It does good stuff to me
Both of these are really the same. They both rely on you...
When you perceive yourself as being at the effect of an external power, that it has the power to do something to you or cause you, you will experience fear and weakness.
You may not realize that it is the way...
God has absolute power. And yet, God shares all of His power with us. And this doesn't mean, in some watered-down version or less capable version, but we actually in our natural divine state are meant to fully share all...
It is difficult to learn that there is not really anything I can do to force healing or awakening onto others. Love isn't forceful.
