Living Light

When our will fully embraces the God act of emergence, the living power flowing from the Altar of Truth is released.

Divine emergence gives expression to Truth and our Divine Self in the ever-expanding present moment. In emergence God’s thoughts flow through us as our thoughts. They extend into reality and create expressions of Truth; ever-present peace, joy, love, harmony, and abundance. Emergence is the power of God moving through us in magnificent and unexpected ways. However, as we approach the Altar of Truth, despite its promise of wonders beyond our imagination, we feel the gravitational pull from the fear of emergence holding us back from moving forward.

Our sleeping mind imagined a counterfeit to the altar of Truth, which four pillars are the source of all fears: past learning, time, false image of our self, and sacrifice. Because of the many potentials of fearful outcomes from this faulty source, we daily serve fear with many sacrifices.

Therefore, many of our choices and most of our energy are spent mitigating, reducing, controlling, and avoiding fearful outcomes, and in protecting and defending ourselves from fearful outcomes. We build idols to protect us, unaware of their silent betrayal. Our man-made idols designed to protect us from fear keep our belief in fear real, which in turn strengthens our need for idols.

The fear of emergence multiplies when we look back on our own lives and the lives of others and believe anything undesirable that happened in the past can happen again, not understanding we are the creators of our dream. Past learning within the dream teaches unwanted events emerge randomly and unexpectedly; sickness, loss, suffering, pain, rejection, accidents, abandonment, loneliness, depression, reckless anger, etc. Although we’ve known some good experiences to emerge from our lives, the potential of fearful ones keep us striving to maintain our defenses against this creative stream of the unexpected. When we examine why we do what we do, it’s incredible how much our will is steered to avoid the fear inherent in the unpredictability of emergence.

Fear arises out of incorrect thinking. It comes from attributing an incorrect source to things and not seeing the true singular Source to everything. Because what we see with our mind’s eye we project and create, when we perceive the counterfeit altar’s four pillars and believe in their ability to manifest fearful outcomes, we create a fearful reality. This mis-creation requires all our energy in attempt to control it. As a result, our will becomes a servant to fear, preventing us from freely giving our will to divine emergence.

Without a willful choice for divine emergence we remain in fear, because our will is free even when it is misapplied. However, our true will is God’s will. A contrary will is the temporary illusion of our sleeping embryonic Self. As we awaken, our will begins to shift to our divine will that is one with God’s. The recognition of oneness with God’s will is a significant aspect of our awakening because it reveals our contrary will could only have been an illusion. Therefore, we go through a willful transition from resisting emergence to resting in it, pushing through the one thing we feared the most.

This mental gap between controlling our reality and resting in divine emergence seems impossible to cross. It feels like an infinite chasm because we are coming out of a dream where witnesses to fear surround us, even in our own bodies, strengthening the fear of emergence. Though we know the Truth, we still experience the dream’s fear inducing illusions. Yet, in this moment we are not alone.

At this life altering moment the Spirit of Divine Love enters with transformative grace. It’s our first experience of the power of our divine Self. Divine love consumes the part of our will which still resists emergence. It miraculously brings witnesses of divine emergence into our reality that enable our mind to systematically release fear’s grasp upon it. In its peace and comfort, we look at our fears head on and see their foolish, illusionary nature and we begin to let go. In this ever-brighting vision from within, we consistently counter the fear by consciously resting in emergence, where fear takes its last breath. This heightened luminosity, which shines from the Truth obtained during our journey to the Altar, lifts us above the illusion in a perception of divine love that drives out all fear. It brings us to the Altar of Truth, where we make the only sacrifice we will ever make: our illusionary fear.

We are constantly creating reflections of what we believe we are; whether a false self or a true Self. But in this transition from the illusion to the real, we experience a supernatural awakening, symbolized in the resurrection. Despite our lingering thoughts bound in fear, in divine grace we are awakened from the nightmare we created and into the Kingdom of Peace. As witnesses to the Truth increasingly surround us, our minds fully engage divine emergence. Once awakened, we recognize our thoughts create our reality as they flow from the Mind of God through the Altar of Truth.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. ~ 1 John 4:18

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” ~ Matthew 11:28

A thought of infinite worth and limitless creative power is: the living Altar of Truth, the gateway to the Divine Mind, is the Source to every thing – no exclusions. This one thought stirs in our mind until we fully arise to the New Day.

Our awakening is the final transition from believing thoughts of our imagination to being thoughts of Truth. Therefore during our awakening, this holy thought of the altar of Truth as our only Source challenges and overcomes every lingering false idea whose source is the past. Because imagination and Truth construct opposing thought systems, this transition can feel like a battle in our mind as the Light of Truth breaks into the darkness of illusion. But seen in Truth, it’s actually our miraculous birth.

In the dream, we believed the source of our being and all our experiences was something in the past, which was determined by our “past learning.” But as we awaken, our source for everything is no longer the past, but the living altar of Truth, where God expresses himself as our Self. Our source will never be of the past again, because the past doesn’t exist, it isn’t real, and why belief in it as a source created a dream reality. Our true Source always has been, is, and will be in the eternal present moment at the altar of Truth.

This magnificent thought is the genesis of healing unto regeneration. This thought awakens us and liberates us from a past whose effects were perpetuated into the future because we believed the past held the sources of all we are today. It brings an end to the false image of ourself created through past learning and enables the emergence of our true Self, kept in holiness. This living thought, that reflects our will and God’s as one, manifests our perfection, completion and wholeness in every moment.

As the past is no longer carried forward, time ends as we know it. Time, which extended the past into the future, held us prisoner to a past that determined our lives and dictated who we were and what we could or couldn’t become. It laid heavy garments of past mistakes upon us, even going back for generations, from which we couldn’t escape because their source was held in an unreachable past. Time became a cruel father who bound our present to past errors, loss, separation, and brought us to an end in decay and death, yet it was only of our imagination.

With this living thought of our true Source our mind is set free and no longer creates according to the past. The past no longer determines who we are, but every moment we emerge out of the present perfection of God’s eternal thought of us and we are clothed with Light.

When we hold this thought for ourselves, we simultaneously hold it for all. If God is our source in everything, then it follows that he is in everything and everyone. He is all in all. In the vision made possible by this thought, everyone is seen in the incorruptible innocence of the present moment and free from the binding effects of past judgments. In this eternal holy present, we see all in their true reflection. This is the holy vision of the Christ.

Though the potential for this Day always existed in the present moment, it was unseen because the mind’s eye slept in a dream of time. Dreams of illusions and wild imaginings darkened the mind’s eye, which in turn projected a reality of perpetual judgment void of Truth and divine love. But when our mind’s eye is open, the altar of Truth is revealed as the open gateway to God’s thought and our true Source. Holding this living thought awakens us to the eternal Light of the present moment and the New Day dawns.

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” ~ Psalm 118:24

Our mind is capable of creating worlds.

At the altar of Truth, which is the gateway to the Divine Mind, the living Word of God untouched (untranslated) by human hands infuses our thoughts as we awaken to our true Mind, which is God’s Mind shared with us. The remnants of our illusionary thoughts that clung to us throughout our seeking journey are methodically consumed by the magnificent living thoughts of Truth. One Truth that becomes undoubtedly clear is: we engage our true creative power with our thoughts.

Every soul is fashioned with equal power of mind. What makes us different is what we choose to put into our minds. What we choose to put into our minds is what we create. Thoughts are one of the most powerful modalities we possess. They are the mind’s translators from the uncreated to the created. Our will is the life force in a thought, and the intensity of our will determines a thought’s creative strength.

The realm of thoughts is infinitely more powerful than the reality of forms, because thoughts create the world of forms. However, the sleeping mind mistakenly attributes power to created forms, like money and external force, and gives a trifling power to thoughts. This dissociation blinds us to how we are truly creating. This is where the belief created through our past “learning” deluded us. It proclaimed a source other than our thoughts created our experience.

Past learning involves discovering what we believe to be the source of everything we perceive. To the sleeping mind, when something happens in the past, that past occurrence becomes the source for future creations of something similar. The identified source establishes our thoughts by infusing them with belief, and they in turn create our reality. If we believe a thought has no true source, we let it go and it has no effect. Because all a sleeping mind knows are illusions, the sources it “learns” from the past are illusions. No matter how real it appears, the past doesn’t exist. It’s reality is only sustained by belief in it. Thoughts based on illusionary sources create more illusion, causing the past to continually repeat itself into the future. This is how the dream is sustained. However, the only true source of an illusion is erroneous belief. Therefore, it can be dissolved.

To further diminish the power of thoughts, the sleeping mind believes bodily separation means thoughts are also separated until physically shared. The dreaming mind believes it can think without affecting its reality. Therefore, it has no problem giving its mind to all kinds of thoughts, images, etc. it would never want to create. However, thoughts transcend our physical body and our belief in a thought sends it out to create. Yet, more importantly, in this transcendence of time and space, our thoughts can touch the realm of the Spirit, beyond the physical senses, so we can consciously connect to our shared divine Mind, the Mind of God, and undo all we created in error.

The journey into Truth gains infinite worth when we realize how creation is constructed through the mind with thoughts. When we choose to learn from the Spirit of Truth, we choose to fill our mind with words of life, thoughts that create experiences of divine love: eternal peace, vitality, abundance, creativity, purpose, and joy. If we don’t choose this path and instead walk the path of judgment, then all we know are the effects of our erroneous past learning, where illusion is the source of illusion.

When we come to the altar of Truth, the consummation of universal forgiveness, ALL our thoughts gain a new Source, Truth received directly from the Mind of God. Truth frees us from our past learning and translates our present moment into peace and joy through emergence. It lifts us above all illusions into an awareness of our true Source so we take on its likeness, the divine Self of God.

Understanding the power of our thoughts isn’t “positive thinking”. As long as our thoughts are sourced by the illusion, we perpetuate the illusion no matter how positively we judge the outcome. Only the Spirit of Truth gives us living thoughts endowed with Truth that manifest ever-present peace and joy. As we are illuminated with Truth, our thoughts are freed from illusionary sources of imagination. The inflow of thoughts from our Divine Mind extends the living Words of Life into reality and manifests the Kingdom of Heaven, the only real reality, from the inside out.

“For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” ~ Luke 17:21

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” ~ John 8:32

” The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Divine love awakens us into our true greatness.

As our soul awakens, we shed the shell of littleness and our true greatness begins to shine. Greatness is an innate quality that infinitely expands our individualized Spirit enabling the power and unlimited nature of divine love to eternally flow through us. Our greatness is God’s glory expressed in magnitude and magnificence.

As an embryonic Self of God, we experienced a dreaming mind while enveloped in the womb of creation. Yet unaware of the Truth and that we were dreaming, our sleeping mind constructed a false likeness of ourself because we didn’t know our true divine Self. We thought we were tiny creations, like shells of a seed, believing ourselves to be our bodies and living in a reality bound by the body’s extensive limitations. We slept unaware of the life-giving greatness we held within that we were destined to express. Finiteness, limitation, weakness, and littleness defined our false self, creating fear which limited us further. We succumbed to our belittling imaginations of worthlessness, weakness, frailty, vulnerabilities, and insignificance. We felt little.

In our fearful imaginings, we sought to cover our littleness. However, as long as we held the belief in littleness, endless images of it filled our sleeping minds. At times, from deep within we felt the call to greatness, but often instead of seeking the Truth of that call, we sought for superficial grandeur in the limitations of the tiny self we believed ourselves to be. We pursued glory among a finite world where all ended in decay and death. We sacrificed as we endlessly strived to hide our littleness from ourselves and others, and at other times we collapsed into our seeming insignificance. We tried to diminish the littleness we felt with shiny trinkets, trophies, and accolades that we knew would eventually disappear when we went through the gate of death. Our deep sleep kept us unaware of our true Self and true nature, until it was time for our awakening.

At the altar of Truth, the Truth rises sovereign over all our imaginings. As we awaken, untainted in the essence of our true Self, the shell of littleness which brought us to our birth no longer has a purpose and falls away into nothingness. Though some habitual thoughts of littleness linger, they no longer have a source within our minds, therefore no power. Our true greatness begins to bud in our awareness for the first time.

Freed from a dream of littleness, we rest in the present moment in the emergence of our united will with God. Our will that is now one in the same as God’s magnifies our greatness into creation. The recognition of our infinite worth, limitlessness, invulnerability, and significance expands until this is all we perceive. Finite adornments are exchanged for infinite ones of incomparable worth. We begin to see we are far greater than we ever imagined or could imagine. Who can see the likeness of a majestic sequoia in its tiny seed?

Unlike the finite dream where we see the continuum of life from beginning to end, as our eternal true Self unfolds we experience unexpected wonders. Like a magnificent sequoia, though far greater, we can’t tell from our present moment what we will express, for it isn’t recognized in our current state and its knowing is beyond our present awareness because it comes through the God act of emergence. Yet, we know we will increasingly magnify the glory of God.

Greatness is the state of our soul through which divine love flows, because this love is the expression of God who has no limits. Greatness is a quality all souls share in equanimity, therefore to see it in ourself is to see it in others.

All souls are God’s Self expressed in endless arrays of individuality that eternally exalt his glory. Because seeing is creating, one of the greatest gifts we give each other is to see each other’s true greatness, because it is the outlet for endless expressions of the glory of God.

“A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.” ~ Isaiah 60:22

Souls, like waterfalls, bring forth the living waters upon the earth.

Welcome to the River of Life

What I share is known through revelation because it’s the experience of our intimate connection to our heavenly Father, and his sacred gift to us, which is also our eternal life-giving gift to all creation.

From the altar of Truth where the eye of God becomes our own, living waters flow, which are energetic expressions of the Spirit of God through us, known as divine love. Our final and perfect judgment that states all are the holy Self of God unbinds our souls from fear to be Truth’s effect; divine love.

Because our faulty judgments contained fear, fear barred the door to our most inner chamber, the altar of Truth, thus to our true Self’s expression, divine love. The final judgment eradicates erroneous past learning so our souls freely know divine love that is unblemished by fear. All barriers, hesitations, reservations, walls, protections, defenses, and selectivity we once had around love end. Divine love’s expression is the witness to our final judgment. Because divine Love is all-inclusive, our final judgment precedes its expression through us because when we see the holy Self of God, who is forever loved and loving, divine love is birthed within us.

Although divine love enveloped us in our embryonic state, it’s only when we pass through the narrow gate at the altar of Truth in a new birth that we experience its life-giving power. Therefore, experiencing divine love’s effects (ever-increasing peace, harmony, creativity, perfect abundance, joy, etc) are also witnesses to our birth, for this love only comes through emergence. This holy power begins to flow through us gaining momentum and expansion as our true Self emerges into the eternal present.

Along the prodigal journey we come to learn of this love through revelation, for its knowing is beyond the finite sleeping mind. It’s an understanding that is born out of an intimate communion with our Creator. Through revelation, which is a direct conscious connection between us and the Spirit of Truth, we come to know of this love and in knowing about it, we desire to forsake all vain imaginings in exchange for this endless treasure because it manifests all our desires.

What we’ve known of love in the dream was only a faint glimmer that we may desire the divine love of our Creator with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. The love of the dreaming mind is tainted with weakness, powerlessness, vulnerability, separation, fear and lack. Fear and its counterpart, attack, were seen as all powerful in the dream, which made love seem weak in comparison. This isn’t the divine love of God, but only what a finite darkened mind conceived love to be.

Like light or the air we breathe, divine love is the power that gives and sustains life in eternal peace, harmony and joy. It causes all creation to eternally expand as it holds and keeps it in perfection and holiness. It allows no suffering, harm, loss, fear, or lack. Because it’s the life force of our being, if it hadn’t been for our prodigal journey through a dream that reflected its opposite, we wouldn’t understand the magnitude of its presence and effect in our lives to the extent we do now. It’s abundance never requires a drop of sacrifice, therefore to know and give this love is the experience of pure joy. Anything we imagine it to be, it is greater still.

Divine love is simultaneous with awakening or seeing rightly. Our first experience of this love is seeing all souls as the holy Self of God; in eternal beauty, holiness, perfection, timelessness, abundance, strength, complete and lacking nothing. Because seeing is creating, as our mind’s eye holds this illuminating vision of the Self of God, the Kingdom of Heaven emerges through us.

Divine love is God’s eternal heart beat as our own. It’s the Source of our eternal life, as it’s an endless waterfall flowing from the Source through us in a continuous river that brings regeneration, healing, and renewing to all the earth.

A Star is Born

“Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls.” ~ Psalm 42:6

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” ~ John 17:3

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ~ Revelation 22:1

From the altar of Truth, we are clothed with Light as the final judgment is made and we are born anew.

The altar of Truth is the birth place of our divine Self, which is also our awakening into the remembrance of who we are and always have been in Truth. The altar is “the narrow gate” where we enter a world of wonder, lovingkindness, and impenetrable peace, the Kingdom of Heaven.

At this altar, our will is revealed as one with God’s will, therefore limitless and of the present moment. In the union of wills, the past no longer encroaches upon our present. Every moment becomes an expression of our true Source, making the past irrelevant. The past led us to this altar, so we are grateful for its gift, but as we pass through the narrow gate, the present moment is the only time we know. Layer by layer we emerge into the expression of the spirit being we’ve always been in Truth, who is complete, holy and perfect. The timeless Identity of our individualized souls is known and expressed. Now the present, which is created in divine love for us, is seen, known and experienced. As we are made new, all creation is made new with us, because creation extends from within us. 

When our Source changes from the counterfeit to the true, everything changes. Where we once saw darkness, we see Light. Where there was separation, we see unity. All souls have come into equanimity as the expressed Self of God, and in this, all our judgments, which were based on the past, are consumed by our final judgment of ourselves and reality.

Final Judgment

We give the final judgment, which has always been the unalterable judgment of God, that we are the true Divine Self, which is an extension of Himself.

In the dream, we possessed relative truth absent of Truth, therefore all our personal judgments conflicted and created suffering, pain, disharmony and harm. As we pass through the narrow gate at the altar of Truth, all our judgments are stripped from us because nothing but Truth passes through.

In our dreaming mind, ourselves and others appeared to us according to our judgments that were formed from past learning we gained from the world, and not the Spirit of Truth. Our judgments hung upon creation like filthy garments, defining who we believed ourselves and others to be. Over time our garments grew heavy and more tattered as our mind was layered with thought threads weaving a cloak of darkness. Because of our judgments, we responded to reality’s many faces of “attack” in order to defend and protect ourselves, creating endless destruction until we passed through the wide gate of death. Yet, we were only attacking ourselves because we were the source of our dream and the source of all the judgments we placed upon its reality that it in turn reflected back to us.

As we awaken, we give our final judgment, which is also God’s, that ends all other judgments, because it’s harmonious with Truth. It eternally proclaims we are all united as one in holiness, perfection and divine love as the expressed Self of God. In this, our faulty judgments no longer obscure our vision of who we are in Truth, therefore there is no more fear or attack. Our judgments have finally come into alignment with Truth and we are able to pass through the narrow gate at the altar of Truth, the place of our true birth.

With this final judgment, we are “born again” into a newness of life where only Truth emerges. From within, we are ushered into an ever-expanding reality of peace, lovingkindness, and joy beginning with a singular present moment of our will and God’s united as one at the altar of Truth. What we experience is no longer of time, which extended the past into the present, but we experience our true Source which dwells in the eternal present. Initially, our new dwelling place of the present moment seems very small as our mind slowly awakens out of the sleep of time. But every moment our Self expands through emergence into eternal limitlessness. We are no longer bound to time or any of the many laws it placed upon us. The holy eternal present of God’s presence is all there is of time, and his Love the only law.

Because what we see is what we are, we see all as holy as we perceive ourselves as holy. Because seeing is creating, our new vision of our true Self creates an ever emerging reality of peace, harmony and divine love. Those who have passed, are yet to come, and are present are released together from the judgments that hung upon them. In equanimity, we are clothed with Light, the expression of the Self of God. We are one, the selves of God, united by the Spirit of God and the expression of his Spirit.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” ~ Matthew 7:13

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'”~ John 3:3

I’ve seen the most glorious Light, and it’s the end and the beginning.

As the door of our mind opens, the keys of forgiveness: Truth, the eternal present, the divine Self, and emergence are revealed as the pillars of the living altar of Truth, the Source of divine Love, the life force of creation.

This singular magnificent altar sits at the center of each one of us. As our singular and shared center, it’s where all our individualized expressions are connected as one, thus we are united in ever-present peace, harmony and divine love. It’s where the Spirit of God enters our individualized Self and expresses himSelf as ourSelves. It’s our true center, home and resting place.

As we approach this sacred altar within, its firelight of divine Love consumes us. To have its regenerative effect, it only needs to be seen with our mind’s eye.

Our mind’s eye is the united vision of our mind that is the sum of our beliefs, interpretations, judgments, perceptions, and accepted truth. These modalities are mirrors to the state of our mind. If we are asleep, our mind’s eye perceives according to our erroneous past learning, which is held captive by our memories that shaped these modalities. In the absence of Truth, we see darkness where imagined things can live. Instead of the keys of forgiveness, we perceive their counterparts: past learning, time, false image of our self, and striving. These false four pillars construct an illusionary counterfeit altar which creates a spirit of fear. When our mind’s eye is full of fear, then fear defines and governs what we see and therefore what we serve. Fear even governs our perceptions of love, which keeps the sacred altar of Truth hidden from our sight.

Seeing is creating. What our mind’s eye perceives we project outward, and the reality our physical eye sees reflects this projection back to us. Our physical eyes see what our mind’s eye perceives.

The teachings by the Spirit of Truth on universal forgiveness enable us to see the true and the counterfeit altars within us. As the altar of Truth is revealed beyond the thin haze of our imagined counterfeit, its brilliant Light begins to fill our mind’s eye. All our memories that held us bondage to erroneous past learning and to the fear they created are consumed in the altar’s firelight. Every memory is refashioned and seen as a necessary step that led us to the altar of Truth, where we are freed from the erroneous learning that blinded us to Truth. In this reframing of our memories, they can no longer hold us captive to fear, but now establish a spirit of gratitude so that what we once saw in darkness, we now see in Light. Our true memory of who we are as the divine Self of God returns to us, and the holy purpose of our prodigal journey is served: to bring us to the Light and to this remembrance.

When our true Source is seen, the illusion can no longer remain because its source, the imagined altar of fear, has been replaced by the altar of Truth. Without a source, the creations of the illusion flutter away like burning ash until they are no more, returning to the nothingness from which they came. Our physical eyes begin to perceive a reality that reflects the divine qualities shining through our mind’s eye. Where we saw illusion, we now see the Kingdom of Heaven.

The altar of Truth’s living light is the life force by which all is created and sustained in perfect harmony. It’s the essence of divine love. As our mind’s eye perceives the altar of Truth, we now serve divine love. All fear is past, and only divine love is present.

I sit at the altar of Truth and its glorious Light fills my eyes. From here I see all in Truth, divine love and holiness. It’s the end of the dream and the beginning of eternity.

“The key quaked in my hand
Then melted into my skin
Its power surged down my spine
Then I knew his heart was mine.”

~ The Golden Key

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.”

~ Revelation 21:4-6

As our sleeping mind awakens to our true divine Mind, our will aligns to Truth and unifies with the sovereign Will of God. Through this holy union, we transform into expressions of the divine Self of God.

Our will is a creative energetic force that manifests our thoughts into a perceptual reality. The thoughts we accept and believe as true are the ones we give the power of our will, in corresponding degrees of strength. Therefore, our will plays a powerful role in our awakening (i.e, transformation) to our divine Self.

In the borderland, which is the mental transitional space between the dreaming mind and our divine Mind, our will is purified through the work of universal forgiveness. This divine forgiveness weeds out every thought and perception contrary to divine love (i.e., attack, condemnation, judgment, guilt, blame, shame, sin, weakness, fear, lack, etc.) and we gain the vision of the divine Self who perceives all as the holy Self of God. Our true divine Mind knows every embryonic soul as an extension of the divine Self. It’s thoughts and desires are for unity, oneness, and divine love, which along with our undivided will create invulnerable peace, joy, and love. Forgiveness restores us to our right Mind, therefore to our true Identity.

Aligning our will with Truth dispels the false beliefs that constructed the illusion. As we awaken to the Light of Truth, the illusion that once was a fixed and impenetrable reality becomes a thin veil of physical forms. Physical forms, especially our body because it is the center of our reality and expression, play a key role in keeping our minds asleep and bound to the illusion. Our bodies in themselves are neutral. They reflect what our minds believe. The dreaming mind gave the body sovereignty over it and then served it; so what the body senses, feels, and experiences determine the truth the dreaming mind believes. In a perceived separation from absolute divine love, the dreaming mind attributed all that appeared contrary to this love to the body, which we mistakenly thought was us. In this erroneous belief, darkness settled over all creation because the creative structure of the mind was flipped upside down, meaning the mind served the body instead of serving the Truth.

During our passage through the borderland, our bodies are repurposed by the Spirit of Truth. No longer does our body serve itself; its demands, pleasures, pains and most significantly the past learning it piled up as its truth. The dreaming mind used the body as a storehouse of past learning. Because the body reflects the “truth” of the dreaming mind, our bodies reflected who we thought we were as learned from our past and the past of others. It carried this learning forward, layer upon layer, into the present moment telling us we were weak, little, limited, vulnerable, lacking, decaying, and finite. In response and out of necessity, we used our bodies to attack in defense of itself.

By redirecting our will away from the illusion and to Truth, our body follows and transitions to become a shining expression of absolute divine Love, its true Source. This love defines every purpose and function of the repurposed body. As we rest our will in Truth and in the eternal present with the sovereign Will, they unite as one. Our will is no longer acting on its own in support of a self-contrived illusion. In this holy stillness, the creative God act of emergence makes all things new every present moment.

We possess the power to change all we see into the Truth by giving our will to the Truth and not what we currently physically see, feel and experience. Giving our will to Truth in the midst of the illusion is faith, because we are giving it to what we know but don’t yet see. As we initially direct our will to Truth, it may superficially feel powerless in the moment as the illusion fills our physical perceptions, but it is infinitely powerful because the sovereign Will of God is united with us in this choice. It doesn’t matter what our body feels, physically or emotionally, or what it perceives of the illusion during this transition. It’s all passing away because its Truth is guaranteed. Only impenetrable peace, joy and love are of Truth. All else that is contrary exists only as an illusion because we believed it to be true, therefore it doesn’t have to exist. As we deny the illusion and give our will to the Truth, we shine away the illusion and reveal the ever-present Kingdom of Heaven.

What we believe we are we extend outward to create our reality. In the eternal present of the Divine Mind, we are the holy Self of God that through emergence extends out to all. As we fix our will upon this Truth we are without limitation as our Mind, the true divine Mind consumes all.

Where is the Joy?

Perfect peace and joy are within us resting beneath the illusions of our dreaming mind that tells us a lie that these gifts are not eternally present. Through the awakening to Truth by the Spirit of Truth, we perceive our invincible peace and joy that is always with us because they are a part of us.

The creative structure of the Divine Mind is as follows: absolute Love governs absolute Truth that governs our true Mind that governs Creation, which expresses its Source, absolute Love. Absolute divine Love is the cause, and Creation is its effect. This creative flow manifests perfect peace and joy, which are invulnerable and can’t be disturbed. This is the foundation of the thought-system of Truth.

The opposite structure is true for the dreaming mind. It’s creative flow is as follows: illusionary creations (our body and reality) govern the mind that governs each one’s relative truth that governs fear. An illusionary creation is the cause and fear (and its many faces) is the effect. At best, this manifests fleeting likenesses of peace and joy. If peace and joy can vanish at any moment, then a fearful reality is the effect. This is the foundation of the thought-system of the dreaming mind.

Eternal peace and joy come from perceiving rightly, therefore thinking rightly, which stems from the creative structure of the Divine Mind. Every present moment is an offering from the Spirit of Truth to remove faulty projections of the dreaming mind. By dismissing the illusions, regardless of how real they appear, and accepting the Truth of the Spirit in their place, the present moment will reflect its true Source, revealing the love of its Creator.

Our thoughts and their emotions create our reality. Thus our reality is an experience of our thoughts. Understanding how we create though thought is essential in re-creating a reality from fear to love, from unrest to peace, from suffering to joy. And being thoughts, we can choose to change them. Knowing the Truth gives us this ability and freedom. The teachings of the Spirit of Truth afford us a choice of whether to invest our belief into the structure of the illusionary mind or the divine Mind.

Both thought-systems use a self-sustaining feedback loop which maintain the continuity within their creations. How we perceive reality determines our thoughts, and our thoughts determine how we see reality, including ourselves and others. One creates perpetual peace and the other endless expressions of fear. This ongoing cycle of perception and thought operates without our conscious awareness. Unless our perceptions and our thoughts are illuminated by Truth, we experience a reality where “nothing changes.” The Truth sets us free from this cyclic imprisonment of the dreaming mind by bringing awareness of the creative structure of the Divine Mind within us, through which eternal peace and joy are created.

The dreaming mind doesn’t recognize it’s creating its own reality. It mistakenly believes it creates through the body within a world separate from itself and gives its thoughts little to no power. Yet, the body is part of the illusion, and therefore it uses illusion to create illusion, which is a feedback loop void of Truth. For example, the dreaming mind thinks antagonistically against someone and yet uses the body to convey a smile of approval. In this duality, the dreaming mind creates an environment of conflict without realizing what it is doing. This mind believes it can hide its thoughts, and that somehow by hiding them they are negated, diminished or lessened in their impact. But thoughts are eternal and not subject to time and space. Unless their source is changed, fear and conflict are always created. This blindness keeps the dreamer asleep, and until he awakens he is unable to create the eternal peace and joy that is his rightful inheritance. 

The creation of perfect peace and joy begins with integrating into the creative structure of the Divine Mind. Divine love becomes the source of our Truth which in turn becomes the source of our thoughts which then create a reflection of their divine Source. Now we perceive ourselves and others in the light of Truth. It’s in this realm of understanding that the Spirit of Truth reworks and reframes our thoughts giving us unlimited power to re-create our reality into an experience of eternal peace and joy.

We are far more powerful than we realize, but we are beginning to see. 

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

~ Matthew 5:9
