I AM WORTHY 6

Page 268- 270


This is a great summary, not only of the chapter, but I think of all the work up until this point.  To summarize the summary on page 269 the guides suggest, and we have told you already many times, that the work of the book is to align you to love, to love, to love, to love.

“We have told you already, many times, that the work of the book is to align you to love. To love, to love, to love. Now the action of love, as we have said, is to be in love, in the frequency of love. And how you respond from that frequency is the mission, it is the decision, it is the wonder of this teaching. The love that you have so far self-identified as is a mission in possibility and now the possibility will become the reality. This is the next section of the book. It is where we are taking you, and it is the work that is to come.”

Now, I realize that you and I get this. I realize that you and I get this on an intellectual level and we respond to an intellectual level, but if you're like me there are many times that I forget. There are many times when I either consciously or unconsciously put myself out of alignment with the divine self.

The difficulty I think for most of us, including myself is that I am using my limited self, my ego consciousness, my intellect, to connect with my divine self. And when I say it that way it is pretty obvious that I am trying something that is not going to work. However I still keep trying, or I forget that this method does not work. It is like trying to solve a three-dimensional problem on a two-dimensional level.

And so what we are focusing on in this section, this week is the attunement to, the alignment with the divine self, and as was suggested in class many times, what that means is that I need to let go; I need to surrender. A classmate reminded us on Sunday of that wonderful prayer from Emily Catie, “ God I do not know the answer, you do; show me.”

“What does it mean, finally, to stand in love and to express as love and to vibrate, to experience yourself in wonder as this thing? If you would take a moment now to decide from your knowing, from that aspect of the self that we have already identified as the Christed Self, the Divine Self, the Creative Spark of you come to this place, and ask yourself if you are willing to go now to the sea of love and express from there.”

And so here we are, and what I am reminded of is awareness again. and being aware that I am stuck or that I am using limited methods to gain unlimited access to my divine self, and instead of allowing that to be that which increases my level of frustration, to use that deeper awareness to surrender, to  open myself to love. Opening myself to my divine self is a decision I can make quite often during the day. In fact what I'm going to suggest, and  I'm going to try and put this into effect for myself is that it might be very positive and helpful if we could consciously stop every once in a while take a breath and call to our divine self. Not just as a matter of needing guidance or because we are  in the mist of frustration, but simply as a continuing aspect of of our practice.

You know, I have said many times, sometimes jokingly but in reality also,  
“The good news is you are not you think you are. It's also kind of the bad news because if you are who you think you are and you think you're stuck with that you really are living in limitation. You are this divine self, that is the truth of you, and yet you are this divine self living through this physical, material vehicle. And even though that material physical instrument is a unique expression of the divine or can be or unique expression of the divine, all of us can lose track of the truth and become so involved in the physical reality.“

As you stop and think about this decision—“Am I willing now? Am I willing now? Am I willing now to stop fighting the flow of the river? And am I willing to be taken to the sea?”—you can decide if you are willing to say yes. And if you say “Yes,” we will love you and we will carry you to the water’s edge and we will fly with you to the sea.”

“As I go on my way, I stop and see all that I’ve seen and I recognize it for what it has been: a part of myself out-pictured in form. And I recognize the creations for what they have been. And I give thanks, I give humble thanks for my awareness now, and I will go forward and release them to the light. As I go, I know. As I go, I support myself in love. As I go, I accept the gifts of the spirit that are acclimating to my frequency so I may better serve the needs of others who I will carry to their next level of knowing. I am journeying now. I am in spirit, I am in frequency, and I am about to extend myself to the manifestation of love. I sing a song today of wonder. I sing a song today of love. And I am rejoicing in my choice to be free. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”

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...
