My Truth? I just want a better place to live. A better place for my nieces and nephews to live, for my granddaughter to express her love of life. A world where true happiness exists. One that includes the beauty that exists all around us. (Deep Breath) Fear and Ego are the chains that often bind us. Unraveling what we have been taught can take us on a magical journey. We cannot merely 'wish' it to be, we must begin living it; breathing it in. The greatest Love is within us all and connected to one another, connected to the Creator of all that is♡
The Atonement. Of the biggest hurdles that is discussed, lay Forgiveness♡ Perhaps this is why much of the world is in such a state. I'm not sure. What I do know is that we just have to start Being better people; individually & collectively. So much of this is the guilt, shame, & blame that goes around continually, like a side-circus in our hearts & our heads. We are all connected by Love. It's time to let go the load.
We have to quit asking for Forgiveness & start Forgiving ourselves. For what? Everything. All that is holding back who we truly are♡ All that is holding us back from shining our light from within♡
We are not owed anything. We are given the gift of a life. We are given the gift of Free Will, to do as we choose. Hand in hand, the truth of this reality really is. Because true forgiveness does not require carrying our burdens, guilt, shame, anger and fear around with us. I hear all too often that forgiveness does not mean forgetting. But really, if we are remembering (the opposite of forgetting), then we are carrying it around and not being present. Forgiveness, only makes us whole when we are able to fill the void; with love, compassion, awareness, & growth.
Look, God does not punish us. We punish us. Daily, hourly, sometimes each minute by minute. The only way back to us is within; seeking, recognizing, teaching, learning; being responsible for self; your own thoughts, deeds, actions, reactions, and asking for clarity and truth, for the Highest & Greatest Good, without Ego; aligned with the Love of God. The justification of hatred can no longer be the motivator.
The Time has come for the Healing. Mind, Body, Spirit
All of these thoughts have led me back to asking for clarity in understanding the Atonement. To follow the Holy Spirit's guidance is to let yourself be absolved of guilt; this is the essence of the Atonement. It is the core of its being. The whole world we see reflects the illusion that we have created and aligned so tightly with.
The Atonement is to return our core and our escape from the fear. It is this that lets the memory of Love return to us; as our guiding force. Love. This is the space where healing begins. Healing and Atonement are not related; they are one.
When we talk of Miracles, we are taught that there is no order of difficulty. This is true because there are no degrees of Atonement. I do understand that this is a sometimes difficult pill to swallow; some pain appears difficult to let go of. Yet it is the one complete concept possible in this world, and it is the source of a wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless.
Atonement is the Word of God. Today, we seek to Accept His Word. To accept Atonement and be healed. Accept His Word and what remains to make sickness possible? Accept His Word and every miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. Upon accepting the Atonement for oneself, what is there, then, that one cannot heal? What miracle can be withheld?
The progress of the teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness, or for a time excludes some problem areas from it. In some cases, there is a sudden and complete awareness of the perfect applicability of the lesson of the Atonement to all
situations. Anywhere along the journey, the necessary realization of inclusiveness one may reach. If the way seems long, be content with each step taken and lesson learned; confident in your direction.
That forgiveness is healing needs to be understood. The idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's thought system. A body that can order a mind to do as it sees fit could merely take the place of God. Certainly sickness does not appear to be a decision. Nor would anyone actually believe he wants to be sick. Perhaps he can accept the idea in theory, but it is rarely if ever consistently applied to all specific forms of sickness, both in the individual's perception of himself and of all others as well.
Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls forth the Miracle of Healing. He overlooks the mind and body, seeing only the face of God shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and healing all perception. Healing is the result of the recognition.
It is true of all things that God created. In it are all illusions healed.
The offer of Atonement is universal. It is equally applicable to all individuals in all circumstances. And in it is this power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. A sick person perceives himself as separate from God. The Atonement asks us to recognize that what we now believes, have been taught, about ourselves is not the truth.
It is your forgiveness that must show others. Healing is very simple. Atonement is received and offered. Having been received, it must be accepted. Who can limit the power of God. Who, then, can say which one can be healed of what, and what must remain beyond God's power to forgive?
It is not up to us to set limits upon another, because it is not up to us to judge another. To judge another is to set limits. The Atonement asks for us to withdraws our judgment for all others, accepting all as God created all. No longer do we stand apart from God, determining where healing should be given and where it should be withheld. Now can we say with God, 'This is my beloved brother, created perfect and forever so.'
Today, we recognize that there is only one Love, the Love of God. We also recognize that as we forgive another, we forgive ourselves. Keep this thought with you, saying each hour, bringing forth any situation or another that you have difficulty forgiving, repeating,
'There is no love but God's. Atonement is the Word of God. All that I give is given to myself.'
Throughout the day, think of this often, breathing into the wound to heal itself. Be Gentle and Kind today; forgiving self and forgiving others. We are all connected by Love. It's time to let go the load.
