You are
blessed beings; indeed, I am that one that you know as Jesus.
And your
journey today has been a good one. Many of you are paying more attention to
your feelings.
You are paying more attention to your repetitive thoughts and some of you may
even be realizing that you actually do not know what's going on inside you most
of the time.
When you do
not know what is going on inside of you most of the time, you are essentially
praying for random things. Each thought is a prayer, and a repetitive thought
is a repetitive prayer.
So if you are constantly thinking ‘I don't have enough money, I'm not going to have
rent this month’, ‘I don't have enough money, I'm not going to have rent this
month’, you will manifest that. You will manifest that scarcity and it will
frighten you. And it will, because you do not know how the mind works. You will
keep repeating that phrase.
The truth is your life is infinitely variable. But many of you get stuck in
ruts because you think the same things over and, over, and over again. You
worry about the same things over and, over, and over, again and you have the
same thoughts about people over and, over, and over again. And so, you say ‘I'm
stuck in a rut, I can't seem to change my life’. But it is because you have not
changed your mind.
So, this is
for those of you that want to change your life. Do the things that we suggest.
Do the lessons of A course in miracles. Do your forgiveness practice which you
will learn as you go along and as you study the material that we bring forth. The
idea of forgiveness is that you are not a victim of the world you see; that you
are in fact the co-creator of the world you see.
So, in attacking the world, you are in fact attacking your own mind.
It seems to
be separate from you, playing out on the screen in front of you, but in actual
fact it is playing out within your mind. So, as you go through your days, you
are experiencing your own consciousness.
You have been taught that you are experiencing an objective reality, an
objective world, but what you are in fact experiencing is your own
consciousness washing over you every day in the form of feelings, desires,
judgments and all of these internal processes and yet you think it is happening
out there. It is not. It is happening in here and in here (wijst het
hart en het hoofd aan). What
most of you have been trained out of is following your feelings and your
feelings - unfortunately when you have many, many beliefs that are untrue
residing in the mind - your feelings are often inaccurate.
And one of
the things that A course in miracles lessons is, is a clarification process. It
is a clarification process to remove many of the ideas that cause you fear, to
get you thinking in a more accurate way and to get you in alignment with more
loving thoughts. And at the end of the year of doing A course in miracles
lessons you will be able to see what you are doing.
It does not prevent total suffering. What it does do is, it gives you an
inkling into why you are suffering and how to prevent it.
When you are
tired of suffering what do you do? When you are tired of suffering you have a
good stiff drink. When you are tired of suffering you go to the mall. When you
are tired of suffering you say: ‘I want to watch something on television
because I don't want to be in my mind anymore’. The trouble with all of these
solutions is that as soon as you stop them, then you begin to suffer again and
again and again, and it becomes this endless cycle of a meaningless life. Suffering,
avoiding suffering, suffering, avoiding suffering. This is what many of you get
into when you are in the workaday world. You get jobs that you aren't that
interested in or better not that much fun. You spend 8 hours at them, two hours commuting, you come home, you're
tired, you have a drink, you watch some TV, you fall into bed, you have dreams,
perhaps you don't remember them, perhaps you do and you get up in the morning
and you start it all over again and then Friday night and you are very stressed
out. You are very tired, you haven't had much of a joyful week and so you buy a
bottle of wine or a bottle of vodka or you go out and drink too much with your
friends and you wake up on a Saturday morning, hungover, barely get through the
day, perhaps do it again on Saturday night. You are not investing in yourself
wisely. You are not investing in your health; you are not investing in anything
that is going to bring you goodness. And why? Because of the suffering. The
suffering is what causes you to turn to those substances in these behaviors.
But once you
begin to awaken - and that is what is
happening now on this planet because of the isolation that many of you've been
through, many of you have lost your jobs, many of you are unable to work in the
way that you normally work - you are beginning to realize that you actually
didn't like your job or you're beginning to realize that you need to change
your lifestyle. You do not like living where you live and how you live right
now. Especially if there is another lockdown coming, especially if there are
restrictions that are going to be seemingly permanently housed in your
unelected rule makers minds. Yes, many of you are being controlled by those who
were not elected. Many of you are beginning to realize that you do not live in
a democracy at all, that that is an illusion and so what is happening for many
of you is the shattering of your illusions. You are beginning to see the truth
of who is ruling your world, how they are ruling it and what the end game is.
So, for many
of you this is a very stressful time because those things that you have
believed in all your life, are beginning to disappear. But you cannot change
the world by yourself unless you begin in the mind. Yes, you can have organizations
of protests. Yes, you can get together on Facebook groups and lament the
situation, but the truth of the matter is you will not change the external
world until you change the internal world. But you must first allow yourself to
suffer. But you must first stop yourself medicating your suffering and you must
feel with your suffering. Why? Because pain is designed to get you moving. There
are beings who do not feel pain in their nervous system and they go blind
because they poke things in their eyes all the time. They get infections
because they stand on sharp objects and cannot feel them. They burn themselves.
They have a very difficult time of it because pain means move away from
something, make a different choice. If your pain is emotional pain or mental
pain, mental suffering and you are medicating it, you will not move away from
that which is causing it. And when you actually give up your medications of
alcohol or movies or whatever it is that you're using to soothe yourself, you
will realize that all of the suffering is actually taking place in your mind. It
is your thoughts about your job. It is your internal discussions about the
relative that you despise. It is inside of you. Your jealousy is inside of you,
your anger is inside of you. All of these things are inside of you.
So, it is
there that we take you. It is there that we ask you to go. And so, this evening,
as you wind down before bed, we would like you to turn off any devices for an
hour before bed. We would like you to have a warm shower or a warm bath or a
cool shower or cool bath depending on the temperature that you are dealing with.
We would like you to put some nice cream on your hands, in your face. Get
yourself ready for bed in a soothing and kind way and hop into bed and sit
there and feel what you feel about your life right now. Honestly. Drug free,
alcohol free, program free, phone free, computer free. We'd like you to sit
there in your bed for about half an hour, 45 minutes and just review what your
life is actually like and ask yourself: ‘is this OK? Am I happy with this? Am I
truly happy with this or are there some things that I need to change?’ And when
you have done that review, we would like you to write down a few things in the
beautiful Journal that you have bought yourself for this project. Perhaps you
have said to yourself: ‘I would like to move closer to the beach’ or ‘I would
like to move somewhere that's not so hot’. Perhaps you have said: ‘I would like
to find a partner.’ Perhaps you have said: ‘I would like to become single.’ Perhaps
you have said: ‘I need to change my job. I don't like what I'm doing.’ Or
perhaps you have said: ‘I need to find a job. I have no job.’ It doesn't matter.
Perhaps you have said all of those things. But what we want you to do is to
actually feel what it feels like to look at something and say: ‘I would like to
change this now.’ The irony of all of this is that, when you are accepting of
what it is, you truly see it for the first time. When you are in denial of what
it is, you won't look at it. When you are in resistance to what is, you are
pushing away the lesson in it, you are pushing away the information that this
experience has for you. But when you sit in acceptance, then you feel what
you're meant to feel, and you come to understand what you're meant to
understand.
So tonight,
we want you to accept that your life looks the way it does, and we'd like you
to accept that there are certain things you'd like to change. But in spite of
that we would like you to go to bed with your nightly prayer of allowing us to
influence your consciousness so that we may teach you during the sleeping hours.
We want you to go to bed happy, saying: ‘I see what I have created, and I see
what I have miss created and I am the creator. I am the mis-creator. I will be
able to shift and change my consciousness so that I will be able to manifest
exactly what I want to manifest.
I am that one
that you know is Jesus and I'll see you again tomorrow morning.
