CREATION IN AWRARENESS #1

BOOK OF LOVE AND CREATION 

5/15 & 5/22

p. 116-121

So much of the seeming conflict in our lives emanates from the particular identity or role we are living out of at the time.  Rather that getting into ego bashing, which really serves no purpose, let’s just walk through typical day and notice what happens. 

So here I am faithfully starting my day with prayer and meditation AND I set my intention for the highest good; I remind myself that I am Word (I am one with the creative power of the universe).

And now I am happy because there is an abundance of hot water for a shower and shave; then I am annoyed because my towel stinks; then I start thinking about my first cup of coffee; and then I discover there’s no more frosted flakes, and before I realize it, I’m getting ready for bed and I realize I’ve been asleep all day.
I come to the end of a day or a week and ask myself, where was I? I know I got all the jobs done, but was I really present to any of it? Was I listening to my inner voice?
One of my favorite book titles is "Here I am, Wasn't I?”

Being present, being aware; letting the ego be the ego (it will be there—it is part of our human nature, but we don’t have to ignore it; fight it; or make it go away). I can acknowledge it as that aspect, that part of me, that thinks in terms of duality and separateness and which uses fear as a (useless) form of protection. The ego is not bad or wrong, it is simply very limited in its perception. So when I find myself in limitation or scarcity or fear, I can be aware that I have mistakenly identified with this “smaller self.” 

As we have suggested many times before, you are not just saying words when you repeat these passages. What you re doing is affirming a truth, and you are allowing yourself to get a sense of the energy within you which resonates with that truth.


“I am now willing to be in my awakening. I am now willing to stand in my truth. And I am choosing, choosing, choosing to listen to the Christ within me who will carry me to my appointed destiny. I am knowing myself as an aspect of the Divine. I am knowing myself as an aspect of the Christ embodied. And I am believing in my worth as a Divine Being.”


“I am now choosing to know myself in my power, in my full realization of my divinity. Word I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”


There are some deep challenges here, to go beyond out thinking of ourselves as being this limited self.

“Stop playing dumb. Stop feeling inferior. Stop feeling unworthy of your Creator. Every time you reinforce those things, those beliefs, you go into darkness, because you go into agreement with a level of control that seeks to retain its power over you. Do you understand this? This is so important.
Each way you find to diminish yourself promises you that you have gone into agreement with an aspect of the self that is in accordance with keeping the lid on the pot. The lid is off the pot; you are free the moment you realize you are.
“I am free in my Knowing. Word I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word. I am free in my understanding of myself as a powerful being. Word I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”

In some ways, it is probably easier to cling to our limited idea of ourselves. It’s a lot less work, but once you start out on this path of self discovery, you really cannot turn back.
We have confronted this challenge any number of times before. IN ACIM, NTI and other spiritual literature it has been stated in terms of love or fear/that we only really have those two choices.

But now we are moving into a different level of awareness. My ego, my frightened limited self is the aspect of me that chooses fear; my soul, my spiritual nature is the aspect of me that chooses love. So every moment I am challenged to  be aware of my spiritual nature, and of course when I am aware of my spiritual nature, I have to be aware of yours as well. 

“I am now choosing to Word through all that I see before me. I am now choosing to become aware of all systems that have been put in place that have been controlling to me. And I am now choosing to release myself from any belief that I need to be saved by systems that were created out of fear, or out of a placement to keep me in my limitation. I am free. I am knowing myself as free. I am Word. So be it.”

DOMINION OF LOVE 5

PERHAPS I AM BEING VERY LAZY THIS WEEK, BUT i was touched by this lesson and how it approached the material in our Sunday class from a different direction. The Dynamics of Giving and Receiving from Ram Dass//Posted March 10, 2017 What yogis begin to do is to change their way of thinking in order to look at the universe differently. In order to do this, there is a period of time where they must pull back from the drama in order to be able to see it. It’s like a moratorium, it’s a time when you stand back, like you go on a vacation. It’s actually extremely hard work by the way, very exacting and very, very difficult work. Now when most of us think of yogis, we think of somebody sitting like a famous yogi, like Milarepa, sitting up in a cave in the mountains, cross-legged and naked. There was snow, and ants were eating him, and the only food he took was nettle soup, and he ate it for so long he developed a green nettle fur all over him. But he was busy freeing himself fr...

THE ANSWER 11 and DOMINION IN LOVE 1

This is just beautiful and says it all: “Why was I born? That is the next question. You were born to come into yourselves as knowing yourselves as loved, and as conscious active participants in your creation. You were born to stand in your knowing, to accept yourself as loved, and to see your fellows in their own perfection. You were born to create wonder, to live a life of splendor and of joy. You were created to come into your own knowing in the Son-ship of your own divinity and to claim it in full experience. You were born to say, “I am Word,” in whatever language you choose, in whatever vocabulary is truthful to you. You were chosen, you are choosing, all are. “I am Word through all that I see before me.” We are choosing you today to call to yourselves those things you need to move forward on this journey. Imagine yourself, right now, standing in a room. It is a gateway room. It is a room that leads you to a new room that has never been seen before, that has never bee...

DOMINION OF LOVE 5

A brief review of the past that is pertinent to the present.   “Paul is asking, “Where is the Christ in me? How do I identify this part of me that you speak of?” And we will tell you now. The Christ within you is a frequency that is aligned within the heart center and it glows like a flame and it brings to it that vibration and frequency that co-resonates with it. And that which it brings to co-resonance is the Creator. If you understand that your light is a piece of the great light, then you have the beginning of the understanding of your Christed Self. If you understand that this light, in its blooming, in its flame, in its action, is the action of the Christ within man, you have a deeper understanding. If you begin to understand that the action of this Christ, once and for all, is to become realized as man in completeness, then you have the mystery of the Christ revealed to you. And the mystery of the Christ, and how it shall be revealed, will be the causation of the action...
