Living Light

As we accept the bountiful gift of emergence, we become the Altar of Truth and its radiant Light. The gate of Heaven stands open for all to enter into the divine love of God.

As we look back on our prodigal journey, we see its perfection. We didn’t know its end, though we felt its call. Every step, struggle, pain, disappointment and what we thought we lacked drove us up the mountain of Truth until we found what we were seeking and our journey’s end. The Spirit of Truth was our most brilliant guide, who for not one step left our side. From the vision at the mountain top, we see our journey was the most loving path we could have walked. Its end is the beginning of awakening into divine love, which we give to all through emergence. We are beyond grateful.

In the present moment of a timeless mind, we only experience divine love as our present moment unfolds in the perfection for the highest good for all. Divine love fulfills every need perfectly rebuilding, restoring and renewing. Where there once dwelt illusions of lack, loss, compromise and sacrifice, they fade in the dawning Light of our awakened soul. All that were bound are now revealed as limitless and free.

Now we begin a new journey unfolding through emergence.

As we awaken to the Laws of Truth, our Mind is set free.

As we marvel at the shining pillar of Truth upon the Holy Altar, our mind’s eye is filled with a joyous sparkle as we realize our mind is freed from the reign of darkness. In the undeniable Light of Truth, the dreaming mind loses all power to continue to create an illusionary reality.

Whatever thoughts the mind believes even if they aren’t of Truth, it projects and creates. Thoughts are strengthened by laws that support them, whether the lower laws of the dream or the Laws of Truth. The more deeply rooted a law, the more definitively it’s believed and expressed, therefore the more difficult it is to uproot. For example, the lower law that all must die is deeply engrained into the dream’s thought-system, it’s strongly believed and therefore consistently expressed.

The lower laws of the dreaming mind contradict Truth, which is only possible in a dream. Established by erroneous past learning, lower laws only exist because the mind believes them. Their source is darkness, the absence of Truth, therefore they have no true source. Once the mind stops believing them, they lose power, and cease to create an illusionary reality.

Along our sacred journey, the Spirit of Truth methodically reveals to us the Laws of Truth, by which our divine Mind functions. These higher laws have always existed because their Source is ever-present Truth. However, until the soul began its prodigal journey to the Light, these Laws remained unknown. In its dream state, the soul believed a contradictory thought-system based on lower laws, which put the soul under an illusionary bondage that caused great suffering.

The function of the Spirit of Truth is to transform our belief system from the lower laws to the higher laws, which give expression to our true Self. This transition isn’t simple, because our false beliefs are deeply rooted with many “witnesses”.  These witnesses are faulty projections of the dreaming mind, but the sleeping soul doesn’t know that until it begins to receive revelation from the Spirit. Then it begins to question everything it once believed and with this openness of mind, it begins to grow in the awareness of Truth. The Spirit’s perfect and systematic instruction reveals an integrated thought-system based on the Laws of Truth. Because our mind can’t believe in two contradictory thought-systems, as our faith increases in the higher laws, our belief decreases in the lower laws. We remain under the Spirit’s perfect tutelage until our mind obtains an operational awareness of the thought-system of Truth in which we join in oneness with the Spirit and create according to the higher laws.

As our mind’s eye awakens to the singular Source of the Light of Life, the Altar of Truth, a monumental shift occurs in our mind. We clearly see the Laws of Truth extending from this true Source. Simultaneously, we see the lower laws are not of this Source. With our faith perfected in this Holy Light, our mind comprehensively denies the illusion its physical eyes behold because it plainly sees it has no source. In a quiet moment of infinite power, the mind makes a transformative shift at the root of its belief system, ending the continuous manifestations of illusions.

Upon our mind’s release, our deliberate and methodical integration into the higher laws of Truth commences. Through emergence, as our conscious awareness is joined with the supra-conscious (our shared Mind with God that is beyond our conscious awareness), we begin to create according to the Laws of Truth. Freed from the lower laws, our present moment trends upward as it is orchestrated for the highest good for all. As we rest, the supra-conscious in its quiet power unfolds the perfect present moment, like the gentle yet all-powerful ascent of light into the darkness. This power of emergence resides in the pre-creative space at the origin of our soul, beyond our awareness. We don’t know what the next moment will bring, but we know it will increasingly reflect our true Source, and this magnificent unfoldment is our eternal joy.

As the dream fades and Eternal Peace emerges, we experience ever-increasing favorable present moments because Peace emerges through us. The Laws of Truth create what the lower laws never could; a free Mind that creates peace on earth and good will to all.

The Laws of Truth in relation to the lower laws they override:

• Law of Truth: Only Truth is real and nothing else exists; only in an illusion is Truth not expressed.
• Law of Holy Birth: All must awaken into the true Self, all can not die.
• Law of Life: Life is a multiplication of Truth, not a decent toward death.
• Law of Holiness: All are holy as an extension of God’s holiness, only a false image can be unholy.
• Law of One Source: Truth is of the one Source in the eternal present, not the past.
• Law of Oneness: What is done for one is done for all, nothing is done in isolation or separation.
• Law of One Will: Our will and God’s will are one in the same, our will cannot override God’s will.
• Law of One Mind: Souls are united in one Mind, souls are not many separated minds.
• Law of Love: Love is always good, and never tainted by fear.
• Law of Extending Love: Love extends from endless joy, not from sacrifice, compromise or loss.
• Law of Emergence: Only divine love is expressed in emergence, fear has no true source.
• Law of Creation: The creative power of the soul is emergence, not effort through physical forms.
• Law of Projection: Reality is projected from the mind, it is not separate and outside the self.
• Law of the Eternal Present: Only the present moment exists, the past is not extended into the future.
• Law of Giving: What you give you receive, there is only gain and never loss.

As we move into the Light, we become the Light.

The false idea of our self covers our mind putting us into a deep sleep. Like a dense fog, this false image distorts all our thoughts, perceptions and ideas of what is true and what is real. When our source of truth is past learning, then we look to the world to tell us who we are and we believe it. It’s speaks numerous lies that we accept as our truth, that we are weak, frail, vulnerable, sinful, forgotten, abandoned, limited, unloved, unworthy, little, insignificant, finite, bound to the past, and the list goes on and on. Lost in this darkness, our minds construct a false image from which we project and perceive a reality reflecting similar traits. The voices of our illusions speak loudly, convincing us we are sick, bound to decay and death, victims of fear, and destined to suffer.

When we begin our sacred journey into Truth, all we once believed as truth becomes unraveled. As we sit in the power of stillness and go deep into the present moment, we hear the gentle Voice of the Spirit of Truth telling us we are nothing like the image of ourselves we imagined. As he breaks through our layers of darkness with revelations of Truth, he calls us out of the mist of meaninglessness and madness, and into the perfection and peace of our true Self.

As we listen to the Spirit of Truth, little by little we leave the lies of the illusion and advance toward the Light of our true Self. This Light is hidden in the darkness created by the fearful thoughts our false image creates. We continually run from our frightful false image and cover it with anything the world tells us is desirable and acceptable. The Spirit leads us right through these false coverings and our fears, giving us peace and strength to face our most challenging and seemingly unshakeable illusions. After persistence down this winding prodigal path forsaking all we once learned in exchange for the revelations of the Spirit, we begin to deeply comprehend the nature of our true Self. This awareness prepares us for the passage through the narrow gate, the borderland of universal forgiveness, through which all the illusions are stripped from our mind leaving the shining revelation of our true Self.

By giving divine gratitude we release the lingering distortions of our false self and joyfully accept the perfection of emergence, from which our true Self arises. All the voices of the illusion we once heard become distant echoes as our minds ascend to the reality of the Real. These voices which once told us who we were have no place or power in the Light of the True and Real.

As we approach the Altar of Truth, its Holy Light is like a sacred looking glass that reveals our true reflection for the first time. Lost in the darkness with no true mirror, we only saw ourself according to the reflection of our imagination. We believed ourselves to be all sorts of things and accepted those imaginings as true. Now, we marvel as we gaze into the face of Christ, which is the true face of every soul. In the Light we know we ARE the Light, and we become a looking glass for others to see their true Self. As each one looks upon their beautiful reflection, the Light of Truth expands into creation revealing what has always been but our sleeping minds could never perceive in the darkness: we are the glorious likeness of our Father.

As the Light of Life shines into creation, peace is restored to the souls which God created as His Self, His temple, His eternal joy, His ever-present love extended into eternity, and wholly one with Him. All fear is senseless and unreal in the divine presence of our true Self. From this moment of seeing our true reflection a new reality begins to emerge, one flowing from the divine thoughts of our true Self, who is the Self of God.

As the dreamer slept, the Christ came in one, because the one were many.

As the dreamer awakened, Christ came in many, because the many were one.

Our awakening power is divine gratitude.

Gratitude is the power to change the forms in our reality. Divine gratitude changes finite forms into eternal forms.

The creative power inherent in the divine gratitude of our true Self is limitless. When this gratitude is given in unison with gratitude for emergence, we awaken the power of the resurrection within us. Emergence is the shining of God’s will, as our own, into the present moment.

Divine gratitude for emergence acknowledges we correctly perceive and therefore know God’s love, and fully embrace our will and His as one in the same. When we recognize the true nature and Light of his love flowing through emergence, we respond in gratitude, which returns this love back to him. This completes the perfect gift exchange with our true Source, enabling the Spirit of Truth to manifest in creation through us.

In our transition from the illusion to the Real, divine gratitude is our creative choice that engages the resurrection power. This is the power of the Spirit of Truth (Christ), whose Spirit dwells within our true Self. Through gratitude, this life-giving Spirit awakens our true Self through whom a reality of eternal peace emerges.

Emergence is the creative act through which we experience our Creator’s ever-present divine love. It is the one Will of divine love perfectly orchestrating our present moment to perfectly fulfill our desires and our purpose. It’s the only way to manifest our desires without sacrifice, compromise, conflict or loss and for the highest good of all. It engages the supra-conscious Mind of God which creates in a perfection far beyond our conscious awareness. As we give gratitude for our true Self and emergence, our present unfolds in divine harmony.

Emergence is how we create in unison with the Mind of God that we share. As we rest in the eternal present, the supra-conscious creates through our thoughts in a magnitude, detail and intricacy that infinitely exceeds our conscious capacity. Our conscious awareness is a very small part of our creative Mind, yet a highly significant one. Our conscious choices lead to the creation of Light or darkness, Truth or illusion. Depending upon our choice, we either create harmony from the supra-conscious, or disharmony from the sub-conscious, the storehouse of erroneous past learning. One choice manifests reflections of our true Self, and the other images of the false idea of our self. Both choices ripple out to create, either a reality of eternal peace or a dream of fear.

Emergence allows us both to receive and give divine love, which are gifts of infinite value. It’s the experience of receiving divine love through the perfect manifestation of our present moment, and the experience of eternal joy as divine love flows through us for the highest good of all. Gratitude for this emergence is gratitude and acceptance of the divine potentials inherent in God’s love. It’s the creative act from which our thoughts emerge from our true Source, altering the forms of reality. Where universal forgiveness opens our mind to the Mind of God, gratitude extends the divine potentials from this Mind creating a reality of eternal peace.

Yet, in the dream, we learned to fear emergence. When our source of truth is past learning, we believe fearful outcomes can happen unexpectantly in our present moment, causing us to fear and resist emergence. Fear cultivated from the past overlays the present moment like a thick fog, it obscures the divine nature of the present moment and makes it something to fear. Fear causes us to enter into conflict with our present moment, blinding us to God’s love inherent in it.

Resisting a divinely orchestrated present moment layers it with discordant energy (control, fear, conflict, resistance, anger, blame, attack, and complaining), which creates what we don’t want because we aren’t seeing rightly. In response, we hoard up all kinds of armor to protect ourselves from what we fear emergence might bring. This protective stance feeds fear and we continue to experience fearful outcomes. With a state of mind opposing emergence, the true nature of God’s love isn’t seen or known, therefore we can’t experience what emergence has to offer and our oneness with God remains only a concept. However, divine love never shies away from childish rants. It remains unwavering and every moment affords us an opportunity to make another choice, to give divine gratitude instead of giving into fear.

Transformative grace illuminates our vision to see through imagined fears and recognize the Light of divine love inherent in the present moment. In response to the Light, we give gratitude for emergence and all fear ends. High vibrations of divine love extending from our gratitude consume lower vibrations of fear and begin to change the forms of reality. Through gratitude we transition from a fear of emergence into its joyful acceptance, until eventually we no longer perceive fear, and peace is all we know.

Emergence, without the layering on of fear, enables us to partake and give of all the gifts, blessings and eternal treasures the present moment offers. When we give consistent gratitude for our true Self and the emergence of divine love, we experience the power of the resurrection, and the Kingdom of Peace is created through us.

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

A grateful spirit of Truth is a powerful spirit, one who brings forth miracles.

Along our journey of enlightenment, we learn of the nature of our true Self, which is made in the image of God. Divine gratitude is inspired by this Truth and as this gratitude consumes our thoughts it creates beautiful and unexpected miracles. Divine gratitude is an enlightened creative act by an enlightened mind. It’s the transformative power of the Light Bearers, who by their shining are able to change reality from the unreal to the real.

Gratitude produces vibrational energy of incredible creative impact on the landscape of reality. For those awakening, it’s how the Truth of our divine nature we see with our mind’s eye gets expressed into reality, transforming it from darkness to Light.

Gratitude for the Truth is divine gratitude. When gratitude is given for Truth, it’s a living creative energy of tremendous power. It’s energetic vibrations change the forms of creation, so Truth is expressed in reality, initially appearing as miracles until a reality of Truth is formed. A miracle is a reflection of Truth where there once was an illusion, Light where there was darkness. Miracles are born from our thoughts of Truth extended into reality through divine gratitude and are manifested through the creative act of emergence.

Divine gratitude is the means and end to our awakening as we transition from the unreal to the real. It translates the Truth we received from the Spirit and can perceive with our mind’s eye, into outward expressions that reveal the Kingdom of Peace.

Being an embryonic Self, through whom the Kingdom of Peace is created, the first revelations of Truth we receive is our understanding of our true Self and its oneness with God. Because Truth is ever-present, the spiritual attributes of our true Self are also ever-present. Therefore, we can be sincerely grateful for the Truth we’ve been taught about ourself and everyone else, in every moment, all the time. In this understanding, we always have an abundance to be grateful for, regardless of what the illusion may be reflecting around us. When we extend Truth into creation through gratitude, despite the illusions, everything is touched with Truth’s life-giving energy, and the illusion begins to fade.

Even in the dream we can see the effects of gratitude upon our physical reality, as seen in Dr. Emoto’s water crystal studies. However, the dream’s foundation is fear, a state of mind that evokes minimal and inconsistent gratitude, and even so gratitude for an illusion is gratitude for nothingness. Therefore, gratitude doesn’t exhibit its true potential until we begin to understand our true nature.

During our awakening, where we are in a mental transition from the illusion of our false self to our true Self, there are times when the illusion feels like it’s closing in on us as we actively push through its darkness. At these times our mind can habitually retreat into perceiving the illusion as true. As a result we can tailspin into despair and complaining, two energetic vibrations that create disharmony. In these moments, we can instead choose to give gratitude for the understanding of our true Self. Even though gratitude may feel half-hearted, it remains sincere and therefore effective because Truth is ever-present regardless of how we feel in the moment. Our choice to give divine gratitude becomes a transformative power that brings our mind back to the Truth and fills our reality with Light.

Because our thoughts extend outward and create, this exchange from complaining about the illusion to gratitude for Truth is powerful beyond our imagination. We can’t hold a thought of gratitude and complain at the same time, and the one we choose, we project and create. Do we choose to see our false Self or our true self? Do we choose to see the illusion or the Truth? Do we choose to see darkness or the Light? These all are the same question with the same answer. Again, what we choose is what we create. Choosing to give divine gratitude lifts us above the illusions our physical eyes perceive, where we feel subservient to the illusion, and welcomes the Truth into our mind giving us sovereignty over the dream. In this sovereignty, divine gratitude reshapes the landscape of our reality into expressions of Truth.

As we practice divine gratitude and it grows more consistent, like a dawning light in the darkness, we bring Truth into the Illusion. In this dawning Light, the Kingdom of Peace emerges as our true Self extends its miracles.

If you can see the Truth of divine gratitude, you will want to consistently practice expressing it until the Kingdom of Peace is manifested. This is the high calling of the Light Bearers.

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
