What God creates must be permanent because He is permanence and can only create like Himself.
Therefore, if something is not permanent, if it changes at all in any way, if it is born or dies, or if it comes and...
The physical universe is a grand illusion. It was designed on purpose to make it seem like God does not exist. You might think it exists for some other reason or as a natural phenomenon or as creation or whatever,...
It's not easy to recognize the need for forgiveness. It's not easy to realize that you're even being unforgiving. It's not easy to notice that the way you're experiencing a situation or problem is you falling for some illusion. And...
Above the physical universe there is another dimension, another universe, operating on an entirely different mindset, and with a clarity about what is real and what is not.
From that universe, everything that is happening on the physical Earth is recognized...
"I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.
I am not doubtful, but certain.
I am not an illusion, but a reality.
I cannot see in darkness, but in light."
There is a good reason...
In your whole mind, there is a split mind. It's kind of an artificial mind. It's made of illusions. It's a mental construct which blocks awareness by fooling you into thinking it is not all the same identity.
This split mind...
Recently I find myself waiting for someone to decide for me what it is I will do. I even ask within to Jesus or Holy Spirit for them to decide for me. It is one thing to surrender and open...
There are two types of prayer. One works miracles, the other doesn't.
1) Pray for someone because you believe they need praying for.
2) Pray for someone to acknowledge that they don't need praying for.
The first kind is very common and it's...
There are people who live in fear all the time. They are so afraid and see themselves as such vulnerable victims, that they are very unaware of the fact that they are doing this to themselves.
In "victim consciousness", part of...
Attachment occurs whenever you are trying to get rid of or avoid something you don't want.
It follows the simple rule that what you resist, persists. Or what you are afraid of, you attract to you.
What happens is, when your mind...
But often you feel vulnerable.
Vulnerability is an experience of feeling exposed, accessible, hurt-able, noticeable, visible, targeted and attacked. When you are vulnerable you perceive that the whole world is out to get you.
Experiencing vulnerability is a familiar state that you...
In this world, the ego has reversed everything. What was visible has become invisible, and what was nothing at all seems to be something.
Similarly, in the world of form, "space" seems to be where nothing exists. And it seems like...
If you are trying to be separate from God, you are trying to be the antichrist.
If you believe in separation to any degree, this is the same thing as believing that you are in darkness, and therefore that you are...
The body you have, no matter what its issues are, they are not who you are. Thankfully, you are immortal spirit. You're just using this body temporarily as a vehicle to interact with the world.
You've had other bodies of various...
There was a definite time when it first occurred to me that I am not a body. I was sitting at a bus-stop waiting for the bus ride to or from college. I was probably 19 or so. I was...
We need to learn to stop treating fear like it's just some kind of natural phenomenon, or a normal response, or some aspect of a biological flight-or-fight mechanism, or something that protects us from danger, or any of the other...
When someone says or does something that you judge and perceive as wrong, you become upset.
In your upset, you claim that you are upset because they said or did something that was wrong - i.e. something incorrect, something that is...
When you start getting into a mode where you're talking about how "they" are doing this or that, asking "why" they are doing this or that (as though they shouldn't be), where you're perceiving that "they" are clearly wrong and...
Fear is always based on an 'if' .... if such and such were true, there would be reason to be afraid.
But that's a pretty big 'if'.
The entire separation from God started with an 'if' .... "what would it be like...
I get this feeling that deciding on my own is not the right thing to do, given everything that's said about choosing not to decide, not doing it all on your own, etc. So then I feel torn.
But what I...
