FREEDOM 1

We are challenged again to claim our power and identity  as Word.
I realize that does not make sense to everyone and probably feels a little awkward, and I think it is meant to be that way.

This is not about understanding and it is not about being comfortable. In many ways, this work, challenges and bypasses the thinking mind. We are being asked to use a new vocabulary because the old one is so dried up. 
"I am Word," means I am one with the Father, I am the consciousness of the Christ, I am one with the love of God.

In many of the more ancient forms of spirituality, when a person started on a new path or was moving toward a higher degree of awareness he/she was also offered a new name. The same is true here.  

As I reread this paragraph:

“Now we will tell you this: The map is a funny one. The map does not look like a map, because the map is your consciousness. And while you would prefer a cookbook and a bunch of recipes that will tell you what the cake will be, we cannot give you that in those practical terms, quite simply, because you are the recipe, you are the ingredients, and you are the cake come into form in your majesty. And this happens through you individually as you attend to your knowing in consciousness. As you create in your knowing, what you bring forth is truth. That is lesson number one. As you create in your knowing, what you bring forth is truth.”

I was reminded of a haunting poem by Dory Preven:


I no longer plead with heaven or go rummaging in books for answers to the questions life contains
now I listen, listen, listen to this inner thing resounding in the pulsing and the pounding of my infant ancient veins.

I no longer seek instruction from my father and my mother I have mastered all their pleasures and their pain 
Now I listen, listen, listen to this inner thing resounding in the pulsing and the pounding of my infant ancient veins.

The feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see
everything and nothing
in the parody is me
I’m the hero
I’m the villain
the beginning and the end
I’m creator
I’m destroyer
I’m the enemy, the friend
I’m an animal
a spirit
flying high and falling down 
I am special
I'm important
I am sacred
I'm a clown
so I stumble through the chaos dragging clumsily behind me all the eggshells and the fish scales and the fur pelts of my past 
While this thing goes on inside me 
At one with all the vastness the fantasies and fictions., And when all the contradictions come together: come together they will fit.

The feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see I am it, 
I am it
We are everything and nothing, but that's how to play the game 
In these weather-beaten bodies, with these god-forsaken brains 
We can listen, listen, listen to the universe resounding in the pulsing and the pounding, of our infant ancient veins 
Listen, listen, listen and it all begins to fit you are it, you are it.
*********


Then we are challenged again with the question, “How do you know you are in your knowing?” Well, I can’t answer that for you. 
But I can ask, Do you know when you are not in your knowing? When you are stuck and overly identified with your ego self? 
We are not aware of that all the time, but when we wake up, we do realize “I could have had a v-8!

Do you know when you are free?

“I am in my knowing of where I am not in my freedom” will actually give you the information that you will be requiring in order to move forward fully, in congruence with this intention.
“I am now choosing to stand in my freedom. And I am now aware that all that is before me is created in conscious choice in alignment with my Creator. Period. As I move forward, I change my knowing to align me into congruence with Divine Will and with my own requirements for my freedom. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”

When I realize I am NOT free, that a set of beliefs or patterns is controlling me or I am giving my power away to another person, place or thing—now I have a choice—that is what real freedom is, the power to choose. I can stay stuck or not.
 I do not want that simplification to sound overly easy because it is not. Patterns of a lifetime are not easily discarded.

“The frequencies that adhere to the frequency of control are running the show whenever you are frightened, whenever you are disempowered, and you are, in fact, party to the creation of them.”

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...
