THE BOOK OF LOVE AND CREATION

                                                                    REMEMBER 9   p. 300-302 One of the major distinctions we made is the difference between knowing who you are and being who you are. In the deeper realm of Spirit they are the same. However, for most of us, we inadvertently rely on our thinking mind rather than our intuitive spiritual nature. This is neither an argument nor a judgment; it is simply a suggestion that, as we have mentioned before, knowing can occur on levels other than intellect. The major focus for this lesson is being able to listen to yourself. How you answer and how do you listen to your own inner knowing is probably going to be different for each one of you, so you do not get too hung up on “hearing” words or “seeing” pictures. Just as you have outer senses tha...

p. 298-300 The major portion of this lesson was expressed through a meditation. I will post link to that meditation on this site. As with many lessons before, this one today is about expanding your sense of self. It is suggested that most, if not all, limitations on our awareness of who we are are self-imposed. Now they might not have been an initially imposed by ourselves. We might have adopted them from family, friends, church, school, and other social institutions. To blame those now though is ridiculous. The problems or untruths might have begun outside of us, but they are our problem today and it is up to us to find solutions. This lesson today is about listening to yourself, your own inner voice, the voice of intuition, or the voice of the divine self and to apply that listening to manifesting your own solutions to your needs and also being aware of the needs of others. I would suggest that on some levels we are already aware of this, but because the thinking mi...

P.295-297 In speaking of gifts such as clairvoyance and clairaudience, clairsentience,  we are not about to take you down a path where you buy a crystal ball and set up shop. These gifts that we speak of are simply manifestations of a  deeper awareness. They are with you all the time. You are even using them without consciously realizing it. The following affirmation speaks to this truth. For a moment let us dissect if for better understanding. “I am now hearing myself and I am now hearing my knowing and I am now hearing my brother.” “I am hearing myself”- we are listening more to our own inner guidance, that is step one. “I am now hearing my knowing.”- this is step two;  you are not simply listening to your own inner guidance, you are recognizing it as being true. Stretching this just a bit, as you intuitively become aware of your own inner guidance and following it, you can also become aware that this is not simply a self-centered exercise. You can realiz...

We shared a recoding of a Ram Dass talk which i will attach a link of here. The conclusion of the talk brought us to a similar place where we ended last week,. “It’s actually a way of your releasing your attachment to the past and living in the empty space that will then be filled with truth.” Such a beautiful, powerful passage. The final section of Day Twenty-One explores language. It was suggested in the beginning of this series that the original title and continuing teaching would be “I Am Word.” Some people objected to that phraseology; others demanded an  intellectual explanation. I believe the story that Paul tells offers the simplest and best clarification.  As he tuned into the Guides (or they tuned into him) it was suggested that he buy a copy of the Jerusalem Bible and to read the beginning part of John's Gospel. Paul relates that he was not even sure is such a book existed. Well it did, and the first words that he read were,  “In the ...

                              RE-MEMBER 5 P. 286-293 “Today we want to teach you something. And what we will teach you is love as embodying love. Now we have taught you before what love is, and today we want to give you an experience of it. And this teaching in love will give you an opportunity to recognize yourself as the loved one in creation. “I am now choosing to remember myself as the loved one in creation. Word I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”  The lesson here is choosing to be LOVE. Not just choosing to be loving, but to BE LOVE. That is another way of saying "being who you are." When I choose to proclaim "I am love through those I see before me", I am choosing to acknowledge the essence of my own being and of yours as well. In this state of mind there is no separateness. As line from a song goes "I can't hold my brother in the dark and expect to see the ligh...

p. 285-286 We are exploring the chapter on “Re-membering,” but I would like to suggest we are not moving backwards’ we are not going to a place where we were before.  It might seem as if we are saying, “I think I will remember when I was in touch with my divine nature.” It is it is more than that; it is deeper than that. We are touching our divine nature again, but we are always doing so in a deeper and more meaningful manner than we might have in the past. I think it is important to keep be aware of  because sometimes the mind gets lost in what it considers to be the uselessness of this trip—going back to find something that we had lost, again and again. Well in some ways we are re-finding something, but we are finding it in a new way, in a deeper way, in a deeper way that the mind possibly cannot grasp  We are also exploring the inner experience of life events. It was suggested in the book to go, in our minds, to an experience of love, deep love. What I would l...

P. 282-85  An image that is often presented in this book is that of taking things to the altar. I would like to explore that for a moment. As I sat with that image, I had some old ideas and some new ones. The old ones, or let us say the older way of looking at this, would be that I take my cares and my concerns my needs for healing. etc. I take them and I put them on the altar; I let them go; I release them to God, and then sort of turn around walk away and God takes care of them or not. Sort of like saying, “Well it’s in God’s hands now.” I consider now that the altar is not a platform for passivity, and it can be looked upon in a different way. I believe the altar is a bridge between my human self and my divine self; it is a reflection, in some ways, of that wonderful prayer of Emily Catie, “God I don't know the answer you do show me.” When I place things on the altar, whether that be a health concern or monetary issue or something I wish to manifest, or healing for anothe...
