‘Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
Whenever you enter into it take with you your all…’
(Khalil Gibran, The prophet)

The voice for God, Pg 75, Chapter 5.

My spirit heals by seeing past the illusion of illness, into the body as it truly is – in its perfect state and it heals by seeing a perfect vision of the body in the future. Let go of illusion.

My spirit is a gift from God. My spirit is my connection to God – we both share the same will – for me to remember who I truly am.

We can not create alone, because what we create is ego based. We can only create through the whole mind: The mind shared with mankind, and the mind shared with God.

God gave me a present when I created my ego. He gave me a choice to listen to it or he said I can listen to my heart. My spirit. My soul. My intuition. These are gifts from God. I am Heaven. My intuition guides me there because God shares his knowledge with me. I must not listen to illusions of my ego. It tricks me and tells me lies. God has always spoken truth to me and always will. I must remember him as part of me always.
My heart triggers the memory of ancient truth within me.

Sometimes we can’t hear it because it’s quiet and peaceful. Peace and quiet is healing and this is a truth that reminds me of God. Thank you God for giving me the ability to choose between your peace and the ego’s war.

God talks to me through my spirit. My soul. My heart. My intuition. My heart is an alter within me. I kneel at this alter to pray for love and peace. My ego is an alter within me. I come to this alter to worship pain and fear and unforgiveness. At which should I seek refuge when the ego stirs? I make this decision when I choose which reaction is worth more to me.

Every single day I must face these choices. Which alter? God’s gift was the choice. The man made alter or the alter set in the lushest forest, amongst the sweetest flowers, under the bluest most tranquil sky? Jesus chose God’s alter. He faced practically the same problems as me and then worse and he always chose God’s alter. I’m sure he had to work at it too.

Choosing God’s alter of forgiveness, compassion and giving is the most special gift you can give because the effects of forgiveness and love spread like ripples in an ocean. Forgiving others allows them to forgive themselves. Bring people together as one. Don’t divide in judgement. Therefore, when one of us wants to kneel at God’s alter, somewhere in our one, shared mind we (mankind) all do. But we will never be healed if we don’t all choose peace over war. Through Jesus’ strong will to choose God, he helped our decision making to become stronger.

When I feel like listening to my ego I must ask Jesus to remind me how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger.

Jesus I want to choose God. Please share my decision to make it stronger.

I share my decision with my brothers and sisters. No thought, no decision, is ever private. I share it with all my brothers and sisters.

The guide to salvation, pg 78

To truly know someone, you must see who they are. To their heart – through your heart. Don’t use your eyes and your perception or opinions. Connect to the ancient knowledge in your heart. That this is a person just like you. Share your heart with others by sharing God, yourself, healing. See their spirit. I can not see God in myself until I see it in others.

I can not have a relationship with my spirit until I see the spirit in others. To look for the spirit which is so beautiful within me, with the eyes of the ego, can turn it into something to be feared. God gave me my spirit to undo what the ego has made. Thank you God. My spirit doesn’t destroy the ego, it offers understanding. It sheds light on the creations of my ego. It shows me where they have come from. Why I perceive certain things in a negative light. Why something scares me. I understand why I’m upset because my heart speaks to me and tells me the truth.

This where I connect to the knowledge. That I have a choice between the God response or the egotistical response. But of course the voice is at peace and quiet and I can’t always hear it. When I do, I see that I do not just have a new understanding of myself. I have an understanding of all my brothers and sisters.

What I see in others is increased within me. My heart will always keep me connected to God and nothing can sever it. Not even the ego. I will never feel truly at home in the ego. Peace is my original state and I will always be drawn back there. My heart will see the scary world perceived by the ego for what it truly is. A place where I am faced with challenges which are ultimately total illusions – although difficult to recognise for what they are at times – but that each challenge I face with peace will bring me closer to God.

Seeing the challenge for what it is brings me home to God. Connects me to my spirit. Let the world teach me! See what my intuition sees and feel the truth that God created. I must share this knowledge with my brothers and sisters.

Teaching and healing. Pg 81.

I may forget that God is a part of me but my heart never will. Listening to the voice of my intuition, my soul, my spirit, my heart, is to listen to truth. Truth is loving. Truth was created by God and I together. Truth sees all people as they truly are.

Anything which is not loving was not created by God and I and so it doesn’t truly exist. How can the ego have power over me if it keeps it’s creations to itself? How can the ego have power over me if it’s unshared ideas are too weak to increase? (This, I think refers to the fact that nothing negative is truth.

Pain is not truth. Pain is from the ego. It’s physical. If you feel pain, I can’t feel your pain. You are my sibling. We are supposed to be connected, therefore this idea of pain can’t be shared. It isn’t your truth).
It can’t.

The strength that lies in truth is that truth was created to be shared. I create when I share. I choose to share anything that is loving. I want to share my loving thoughts. I can only share my loving thoughts. The rest of my thoughts are taken into my heart to be understood there.

When they’re understood in love, I can then make the decision to share them with my brothers and sisters. I lay those thoughts at God’s alter and it’s the intention to act from my spirit in a trying situation, which purifies them.

If we all (mankind) react to difficult situations with forgiveness and recognise that we are all creators of our own ego, we will become one mind again. One spirit. We need to see who we truly are as a whole. Look at the big picture. Jesus looked to a higher power in all actions he took.

All reactions he made. God spoke to him and he listened because he knew that he was hearing one. This voice came from one place. One order. One truth. One mind. The voice was loving and he knew it had to be shared. That it was already within the one shared mind.

Wholeness is seeing people as they truly are. It’s when we make the choice to see into their heart and recognise that we all have hearts and are all from spirit.
I must not show anyone anything except my wholeness.

If I choose to show someone I am hurt by them, I only reinforce the idea of being hurt within myself. I think we all know that we aren’t truly hurt if, for example, we catch our spouse ‘cheating’, but we react how we think we should. How we’ve learnt to react from society. From television.

Teaching is healing because it’s the sharing of ideas. Sharing ideas strengthens them. I can depend on them when I am in need.
I must remember to treat everyone as brothers and sisters. We are from the same father-mother.

As Jesus knew, I can not be one alone, as he couldn’t. Only the one will of the one shared mind can create peace for the world because only the complete can think completely. Anything I can teach others about choosing to love and forgive over judgement and condemnation, I promise to share now, because the full power of the one mind can not be expressed if we act as the ego and withhold ideas from each other. My thoughts of love and forgiveness leave an effect for eternity. They can not be destroyed. Only transmuted.

The ego’s use of guilt, pg 83

I can trust my earthly ego or I can trust my Heavenly spirit. The purpose of my ego is to scare me, but its reasoning is strong and I often believe its lies.

Guilt doesn’t exist in the Heaven where I am one with God and my brothers and sisters. Heaven gave me my intuition, my spirit and released me to create. I am God’s creation and I, in turn begin to create my ego. I spend my life listening to my spirit to remember myself and ultimately my ego becomes undone. As though it never existed. It fades into the light of understanding, forgiveness and love (we understand why we felt certain ways about things or experienced anger and pain, then we can forgive and then we can love God and others again). What remains of my ego is blessed and restored and gets reborn into creation in a higher form.

Guilt is disruptive. The ego is a symbol of guilt. Guilt is an attack on God. I can believe I am attacking God because the ego believes that it is me. When I respond to my ego I feel guilty and I’m scared I will be punished.

I have a choice once again – Thank you mother-father God. I can choose to accept the ego’s voice or I can choose the freedom of my intuitive voice. I must learn to think like God. whichever choice I make, I bring that voice into my reality. Whatever God like thoughts I have connect me automatically to the one shared mind. The mind I share with you.

Guilt produces illness within the body because it thrives on attack. Guilt attacks God. Guilt attacks my body. Guilt attacks me. Illness is the egos way of punishing me (when are you more in your self than when you are ‘suffering’ in illness? Illness draws attention to your body and away from your spirit) as it thinks it will mitigate the punishment of God. My heart knows that God will never punish me.

I have only two choices to make during the course of each day. My intuition, which God created and which I could never destroy, and the ego which I made and can eradicate. If I don’t think like God, I’m not thinking at all and so this can always be changed. Only that which God created is unchangeable. Within the one mind which I share with God and my brothers and sisters, is truth. Forgiveness, love, compassion and all thoughts which rise from these forces is the true function of thought.

Guilt is not within the one shared mind. I am a part of God’s thought. I can not think apart from him.

If I order my thoughts I am dictator. If I believe God orders my thoughts, he is dictator. I know whose judgement I trust. I let my spirit run my life. I realise that my ego has to be undone and God gave me my heart to do that. Thank you God. I am not responsible for the effects of my wrong thinking because there is always the choice I was given to undo it. My mind makes my future. What I want, I expect. I choose to let God run my life.

Time and eternity. Pg 86

The only time in which I can encounter ‘eternity’ in the world I made is in the now. I created time. God created eternity, therefore it’s in eternity that I belong. My guilty feelings keep the past alive inside of me.

The ego makes me think I will never escape the past and that it has to continue forever in my thoughts. Because I believe in time, I believe in the past. I think it’s not possible to be free of mistakes from the past.

I am free from the past in God’s eternity because I have no concept of past and future. There is only right now. I am fine right now. I am perfect and whole right now. As long as I stay in right now I am fine, perfect, unhurt and whole forever.

This is one of the most challenging truths to get past for the ego because it wants me to think I can be hurt. That I am unwhole. It loves every second of the feeling that God has abandoned me and openly ensures that I encounter


my past again and again in my future. Again, it’s a choice to be made. Which voice do I listen for?

The ego always speaks first. God’s voice speaks peacefully to reverse the judgement of my ego, like a high court reverses the decision of a low court.

The ego’s voice is wrong because it speaks to preserve errors in my thinking. The ego can’t interpret anything correctly. For example the Bible is given a judgemental voice by the judgemental ego.

If I place my trust in my ego’s voice, I am less confident to ask my God voice for the truth because I believe that the higher court may also judge me. If I let the ego perceive for me, my interpretation of what I see can only be fearful, judgemental and painful. For example the ego can turn the beauty of the Bible into something ugly.

‘As ye sow, so shall ye reap’.
Listening to my heart I know this to mean that what I consider cultivating, I will cultivate in myself. My judgement of what is worthy makes it worthy for me.

‘Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord’.
My spirit tells me that vengeance can not be shared. I must give it up to God for it to be undone in me.

‘I will visit the sins of the fathers unto the third and fourth generation’.
My intuition knows this means that in later generations, my heart can still reinterpret what my ancestors had misunderstood and thus release the misunderstandings from the ability to produce fear.

‘The wicked shall perish’.
My God self knows that perish means to be ‘undone’. ‘Wicked’ is an unloving thought.
This truth therefore refers to the ultimate undoing of the ego by our hearts. This doesn’t mean that the ego will be destroyed. It can’t. It’s a part of my thought. But it will be reinterpreted in my heart and be transmuted to something higher. My whole mind belongs in the one mind I share with God and my brothers and sisters.

With this new understanding I see that the ego has fought to instil a fear of everything in me. I know that if I am home alone feeling nervous, everything from sudden sounds of people passing to the creak of a door in a draught can only continue to make me nervous because I’m perceiving from fear and interpreting from fear. How can I see the truth in anything the ego wants to talk about as I know it can only interpret from pain, fear and judgement?

I must choose to listen to the voice of God within me. Thank you God for giving me my spirit to remind me of who I truly am. Everywhere I look, I look to find myself. I will not look to find myself in my ego. I am in my patient brothers and sisters. I am in Jesus, when he came ‘as a light into the world’.

The patience of God is infinite. He is not waiting for me to come home. I am waiting to go there.

‘Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth.
It is thy desire in us that desireth.
It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days, which are thine also. We can not ask thee for aught, for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us: Thou art our need; and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.’
(K.G. The Prophet)

The decision for God, pg 89.

My atonement (at-one-ment) is when I am at one with God’s will. God speaks his will through my spirit. My heart. My intuition. His will is for me to accept his care and love and for me to use the infinite power of his love to care for my brothers and sisters. His care is healing because God’s will is for me to hear his voice and for my mind to be at peace as it is then that I will choose to make every decision from my heart. From the God alter within me. I can only react to God’s will wholly, by using my mind, body and spirit.

The unhealed healer is someone who has, at times, healed the sick, but they have not raised the dead because they haven’t healed themselves. The unhealed healer therefore can’t know the mind of her brothers, her sisters and her own in its original and perfect state. If I can’t know my own mind and body as wholly perfect and peaceful, the way God willed it, how can I see it in others?

My role, as God wills it, is to discover the peace of my own mind, to discover the peace in the minds of my brothers and sisters. In doing this, I can heal the world. Anything I create that is not in accordance with God’s mind can be undone. God gave me the power to perceive things differently, through his eyes or through the ego’s eyes is the choice. This is how I can help change the world for the better.

Whenever I am horrible to someone, I am unhappy because my heart knows that they are my sister. I am then scared of punishment by God and I can be very defensive. All this is my decision and therefore, it can be undone. Not by apologising or repenting to God, because that would make me feel guilty. Instead, I must realise the decision I made isn’t a beneficial one for myself. For my peace of mind.

I must now decide that I can change the wrong decision I made to be mean to my sister. I must be strict with my self and know that I am taking action to undo what I created. God gave me my heart to do this for me. I must tell her:
‘I must have decided wrongly because I’m not at peace. I made the decision myself but I can also decide otherwise. I want to decide otherwise because I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty because my heart will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I let her by allowing her to decide for God for me’.

God gave me the ability to make decisions and be independent. I must learn to take my wrong doings and mistakes in thinking to God’s alter. If I don’t feel I can consciously react to challenging people and situations with love at a specific time, I can ask my heart to do it for me.

The intention to think with God’s mind is enough to guide me to peace. He will take care of me there.

‘In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness: and that longing is in all of you….. But let not him who longs much say to him who longs little,
“Wherefore are you slow and halting?”
For the truly good ask not the naked, “Where is your garment?”
nor the houseless, “What has befallen your house?”…’
(Kahlil Gibran, The prophet)

Chapter 6, The lessons of love, pg 91

Intro

There is a strong relationship between anger and fear. I get angry because I think someone is against me and that I should attack because of that. I then think that I am not responsible for my attack and so the only conclusion I end up making is that my sister is worthy of my attack, rather than my love. This conclusion disrupts my peace of mind. The peaceful way to respond to a sister or brother would be to realise that I can’t be attacked. Attack is not justified and I am responsible for my beliefs. I have chosen to believe in attack. We all have thought systems but often they are not peaceful but we live by it and teach it to others.

My response to this realisation is to respond with a peaceful thought system. I choose to live by that and teach it by practising it myself.

The message of the crucifixion

To understand the crucifixion as not a form of punishment is to explain the message in negative terms only.

The following message is wholly peaceful and benign. To help me to understand my role as an example for everyone to follow (just as it is your role), I must see the crucifixion as an extreme example. A teaching device.

I have, in the past, reacted as if I were being crucified by my own brothers and sisters and sometimes by God because I’d refused to look at what I’d actually done to myself. The true meaning of the crucifixion lies in the apparent violence and anger of some people who were present. This is impossible. Destruction is impossible because only the body can be assaulted. Anything that can be destroyed can not be real. Destroying the body isn’t a justification for anger. If I believe so, I am accepting false truths and teaching them to others.

Jesus didn’t believe he was being persecuted because he knew we can not be persecuted. Jesus rose from the dead because he wasn’t angry, therefore he didn’t think or relate to being destructible.

Jesus didn’t believe himself as persecuted and therefore he didn’t strengthen the belief within himself.

Reaction is teaching because others are observing you as well as you observing yourself. Teaching is learning because you master what you teach.
I must teach only that I am perfect and whole at all times. Jesus had to face a more extreme example and wasn’t tempted into anger, so I think I can do it when people on the bus don’t seem to have showered today or when my boss gives me extra paper work to do.

Anger is unjustifiable.
What I believe, I will teach.
I want to believe with Jesus and we will become equal as teachers.
My own resurrection will be when I realise I am indestructible. I can not be attacked, lonely, abandoned, ill or in pain. This is my rebirth. The realisation that I am perfect. I must accept that this is true for me and then I can teach it.

God has a purpose for all people. We are all his devices for spreading holy love to each other on behalf of him. He built his alter within us. This is what makes us holy. God’s thoughts within us. We are a part of God’s mind and we can hear his voice. I refuse to build a secret alter within me that doesn’t inspire love.

Jesus went through the crucifixion to show me that attack, as the ego views it, doesn’t matter. He was crucified because who were participating in it believed that he was attacking them. They collectively projected their fears onto him. He hadn’t hurt anyone. The crucifixion is a symbol of projection. We are equal with Jesus and each other as learners but we don’t have to have the same experiences. My heart is happy when I can learn from the experiences Jesus had. They hold my rebirth. They remind me of truth. Jesus really does become the way (Jesus’ experience and the way he responded), the truth (I am reminded of who I truly am in spirit) and the life (I am reborn into a new person by following his example).

Don’t think that because you hear God’s voice its time for you to suffer and be tested. Instead you become more able to learn and gain from other’s experiences without having to directly experience them yourself. By listening to my intuition, I can intuitively sense the spirit working behind the scenes in the experiences of other people. Our challenging experiences are a chance for us to grow.

Many people try to share the crucifixion with others. They try to teach Jesus’ message through it. This is not possible because it symbolises a projection of attack. Attack by God. By my brothers and sisters. And many feel guilty which in turn makes them angry.

The resurrection can be taught to others on the other hand, because Jesus was reborn as we all need to be reborn. It’s a symbol of our reawakening to the truth about what we can truly do in spirit. I choose to hear God’s voice and he teaches me the message of the crucifixion:

‘Teach (practise) only love for that is what you are’. Jesus knew that much of what he taught, they would not be ready to understand at the time and he told them so. They did not believe themselves perfectly whole as God made them. Therefore, there is wrong thinking in the New Testament:

‘I come not to bring peace, but a sword’.

The opposite of Jesus’ teachings.

‘Betrayest thou the son of man’

Jesus didn’t believe in betrayal.

…Jesus’ demand for punishment of Judas…

Jesus didn’t believe in condemnation.

No one is punished for sins and we are not sinners. Punishment involves the projection of blame and reinforces the idea that blame is justified. The result is that I have taught (practised and believed in) blame.

All of my actions and behaviour come from a belief and it is the belief which I teach to my brothers and sisters.

To appreciate God I need to be grateful. This is the belief I want to teach. I can’t love what I don’t appreciate because fear makes gratitude impossible. What I’m scared of, I reject. I need to appreciate God to appreciate me and in this way I choose to teach gratitude, not rejection that arises from fear. If I’m scared of God, I will reject God. If I’m scared of God, I am scared of what I truly am in spirit and so I reject that also. In the end, I teach this to my brothers and sisters.

We must come together with the same thought system. This will make me one with mankind. With each day that passes, I have to make the decision to hear God and not the ego. This is simply all we have to do to change the world. I do not have to do anything else. I must think as God thinks to know him and we must think as each other if we are to become one.

We must think through our hearts. We listen for our intuition. What is it your sister needs to hear today? What is it she needs for you to reject? Fear? Judgement? Anger? How can you see something in others, which doesn’t already exist within you?
They need to know that they can’t be hurt and that’s what I need to teach. When I can see that they are perfect and whole, then I have learnt from Jesus and I will want to tell the world as he did.

The alternative to projection, pg 96

I have two minds. One maintains the belief that I am whole and perfect. The other believes that I am unwhole and imperfect.

One mind, naturally, must be rejected. I can not believe in both. Either I know I’m whole, so that my mind can be whole, or I believe I’m not. And if I believe I’m not I reject God and my connection to my brothers and sisters. I separate myself from them. Projection allows me to dissociate myself from my brothers and sisters. Blaming my sister for anything is projection. Judging her is projection. Projection exists to make me feel different from my brothers and sisters.

To make me think I’m better than they are. Gossiping about someone is projection. Projection is the exclusion of something we don’t want to exist in ourselves and we want to separate ourselves from the rest of mankind because we project those things we don’t want onto them. The more I gossip about someone or hurt them to their face, I feel a false sense of security. As if I’m better than them. I don’t know that I’m really attacking myself.

Projection is a device used by the ego. It is a form of attack. We use it to justify attack. I think ‘this person did this so they’re bitchy or bad ‘. My ego is controlled by my mind. I can choose to hear God’s voice which tells me I’m perfect. God tells me to see the perfection in others. Truth, after all, is to be shared. The truth that we are perfect is strengthened within us because it has been shared. I look at someone with God’s eyes and see that they feel insecure like me sometimes.

I wonder what they do when they are afraid or sad or alone and I start to see that we are equal in the need to live from spirit rather than our egos which we both had the experience of creating. Seeing God in other people lets me know that the world we created isn’t real. We are in the Heaven of our hearts. But we’re so caught up in the ego illusion we made, we can’t see Heaven (where is the last place you’d think to look…). The only way out of Hell is to change the way you perceive it.

The only thing in reality which expands and extends is God’s thought and all of his thoughts remain in his mind, limited within themselves and with each other. I am one of God’s thoughts. I can not wholly participate in the expansion of Heaven if I don’t see the perfection of it.

I am perfect. We are all equal and perfect. There is the knowledge of God which exists within me.

There are the beliefs of my intuition and spirit. My ability to think and decide. My beliefs, although I made them and they’re therefore unreal, can be used by my heart to steer how I see things to becoming more like God. My heart and intuition come from God and don’t believe in my beliefs any more than they believe in time, but with the desire they have to lead me home to God, they use them to remind me that my thoughts and actions are better to be loving.

That everyone is equally deserving of them. That the negative things I see in myself and others do not exist in the mind of God. He created me and I’m perfect to him. She is my mother-father after all. My ego can make me think that this is a difficult task. Returning to God can’t be difficult. It never happened in reality. I never left him. I must see us all as perfect. That the perfect need nothing. It’s not difficult to be perfect because that is what I am.

In conclusion, the ego projects onto others that which we feel exists within ourselves and which is something we don’t want. We then exclude the people we project onto as a symbol of thinking we have gotten rid of the thing we didn’t want within us.

My heart, my spirit, my intuition, my God self extends by recognising himself in every mind and therefore sees them as one. There is no conflict because everything is the same. Wherever he looks he sees himself. He completes the thoughts in the mind of God by uniting them. Their natural state. The peace of God can be ours. It already exists in our minds but to be aware of it, it must shine outwards. Whatever we think and believe expands into the outside world and starts to manifest.
To be a light in the world my duty is to make sure no darkness is living in my own mind.

The relinquishment of attack, pg 99/100

Every action begins as a belief in the mind of the thinker. What manifests into reality from my mind is still in my mind. It has extended outward. My intuition has a whole awareness and it knows whether my beliefs are from my heart or from my ego. And my heart keeps this knowledge about my beliefs in my mind without attacking them. This way there is no barrier between God and my heart. Attacking, guilty thoughts aren’t blocking our communication. My mind can never be defiled by thoughts from my ego which was never part of it in the first place. Through the ego, I learn what is not true about my self. My ego taught me that I am not love or peace and my belief in this is what I share with my brothers and sisters and strengthen within myself.

Every experience I have in life and my reaction to it teaches others how to react. If I believe that any encounter is an excuse not to look on it with understanding and love, then I am only causing conflict in myself and others. I must learn to look at life in a holy way. I must react to everything with love. It is the only belief I want to become. What I project or extend becomes my reality. I can choose to project love and that will be my reality.

I will never stop being judgemental of others until I look at them with the one intention - to see their spirit. Their God selves. Only then will I see my own God self. I will no longer want to be guarded around others, wondering what they think of me. I won’t need to act distant to protect myself and I will feel safe and secure in the company of others. I am kinder and can bless others because I know that I am blessed. Safety is the complete relinquishment of attack.

If I stop believing in attack and that others want to hurt me then I can be completely free. I can not stop having beliefs but it is my responsibility to make sure that I believe the exact opposite of what my ego tells me. The gift is freedom to unite with my brothers and sisters. To love them. To talk to anyone I want. To hug them and speak about truth together. I become the example in my daily life and others can learn from me. This is how I can save the world.

If I don’t believe in peace then I don’t believe I can be peaceful. Having a conviction in a belief which can only arise from experiencing it is to awaken it in my mind. Everything I believe, I encounter in my life through it’s manifestation into reality. I am co creator with God after all. If I believe love lies behind everything, I will only experience a reality where I am constantly shown that I am loved and that I am loving.

‘….Leave me, my blamer
Exhort me not,
For affliction has opened my eyes,
And tears given me sight.
Grief has taught me the language of hearts….
For my spirit is satisfied
And busied with the glory of the gods.
Absolve me from all things pomp and state
For the Earth in it’s all is my land,
And all mankind my countrymen….’
(Kahlil Gibran, My blamer)

The only answer, pg 100

To know that I am spirit within this body is the answer to the question asked by the ego – what are you?
The ego asks this question because it regards itself as separate from me – its creator. Therefore it speaks for the part of my mind which believes I am separate from the mind of God. The ego’s belief that it isn’t a part of me is the foundation of its whole thought system and is its biggest mistake.

God created me as part of him, and with love. There are no negative thoughts toward me in the Heaven that is God’s mind. I created my ego without love ad so it doesn’t love me. I can not listen to the voice of the ego and act from God’s mind at the same time and so I believe I am separate from God. I know how unhappy I am when I hear my ego.
So the question – what are you? – was the birth of doubt.
The ego doesn’t provide any answers. It tries to block the question because it knows I have the answer. It is afraid of me. The ego always speaks first but my heart always answers.

The fact that I am a part of God. That I am spirit, is the answer. It is the truth. This answer is available to me now.
The ultimate truth is also that the ego can not know anything. The ego attacks me because it is aware that part of my mind is against it. Unless I start to believe that I am a victim in life, I won’t side with my ego and it feels like it needs an ally. It is aware of that part of my mind that is not in accordance with it. In response, the ego made an ally of my body, knowing that the body is not a part of me. It’s an alliance based on separation and therefore fear.

Both attack because they are afraid of being recognised by me, as not a part of me (illness is the body drawing attention to itself).
I do not believe that my mind can be my body’s learning device. I do not believe that my body is more real than my mind. I ask the voice of God who speaks through my heart, “what am I?”
He says:

“You are a child of God.
A priceless part of my kingdom, which I created as part of me.
Nothing else exists. Only this is real my child.
You have chosen a sleep in which you have had bad dreams,
But the sleep is not real and I call you to wake.
There will be nothing left of your dreams when you hear me
Because you will awaken.
Your dreams contain many of the ego’s symbols and they have confused you dear daughter.

Yet that was only because you were asleep and did not know.
When you wake, you will see the truth around you and in you
And you will no longer believe in dreams because they will have no reality for you.
Yet the kingdom and all that you created there will have great reality for you because they are beautiful and true.”

In God’s mind, what I am is certain because the question was never asked there. It can’t have existed because it’s constantly being wholly answered.
To be is to live in God without question. Staying in God’s mind rather than the ego’s has developed into an ability. I have to be able to choose how I react, think and behave in challenging situations. Abilities are potentials and because I have created my ego, means that there is the potential when I’m under pressure, to respond to the voice of either.

I need to change the ability into an accomplishment. I will develop my own thought system, guided by the heart God gave me and from my heart, I can do what’s right. This leaves me in a central place from where I can make strong choices from the mind of God. If I don’t believe that the ego hasn’t any power over me, then it won’t. God knows that we are all perfect but He would never aim to prove that we were wrong about our belief in our imperfection. That would demonstrate only that the perfect are unable to become aware of their perfection and that they are therefore helpless.

The God voice doesn’t command because that assumes inequality, thus my heart proves that inequality doesn’t exist. If God proved to me that I had been thinking wrongly, what would be gained by that? Can God think wrongly? Can God lose his own certainty? Do I want God to believe that I sinned? God doesn’t teach me or believe anything. Teaching implies lack. God knows that I lack nothing.

Teaching aims to change but God created the changeless.
My belief in the separation (the belief that I am separate from other people) arose from a lack of communication, not perfection – in which I filled with the voice of the ego instead. God didn’t destroy it because God doesn’t attack. It shattered my peace but not God’s peace, and so I ask God many questions and he answered by giving me my teacher: my intuition, my spirit, my heart. The voice of God within me.

Lessons of the holy spirit, pg 103

My heart teaches me to make me equal with her, because frankly, she knows more than me. I tried to pretend like I knew everything. That I am imperfect. That I am a sinner.
I’m not communicating with God and so I can’t feel his joy and he can’t feel mine.
God’s joy exists in the form of the extension of his thoughts outward. This is blocked when I don’t talk to him from within his mind. So my heart told me that I am sleeping and that I have to wake up. Her voice is kind and gentle, like a mother telling me that the night is over and the light has come. She doesn’t tell me that my nightmares weren’t real because as a child I believe in magic – that things outside the mind of God can be real. Instead, she tells me that I’m safe now.

God teaches me the difference between sleeping and awakening. Once I hear his voice from within me, how can I ever choose the ego sleep again?
I won’t be afraid of what my ego tells me. I will consciously let my spirit take my negative thoughts into the light and my actions will come from the God alter within my heart instead. My heart, acting from love, teaches me, not what I must avoid to be joyous, but what I must learn to have joy.

My God self shines dreams away with her light, whenever I call to God for help. She represents eternity and she exists, for me, for all eternity. She is the part of my mind still connected to God and still at one with him.
Dreams never last, but God is forever.

‘You are my brother and I love you…
You and I are sons of one faith – the spirit.
And those who are set up as heads over its many branches are as fingers on the hand of a divinity that points to the spirit’s perfection.
I love you for the love of your truth arising from the minds of all people…
The truth that shall meet with my truth in the hereafter and merge the one with the other like the fragrance of flowers, and become one all-embracing and immortal with the immortality of love and beauty…’
(Khalil Gibran, A tear and a smile)

To have, give all to all. Lesson A, pg 104

My body doesn’t truly live or die because life can’t be contained. Death and life are purely in my mind. Life is the energy of God’s mind. Death is to stop deciding between the spirit and the ego.

My body is the symbol of what I think I am. My body reaffirms the belief of my ego. That I am separate from God and my brothers and sisters. But my spirit shows me that my mind is stronger than my body. My mind can heal my body but my body can not heal my mind.

My intuition inspires the truth and reminds me that the mind can be shared. My body can not. My body doesn’t exist in the mind of God. Only truth can be shared. To be of one mind with God is meaningful. To be of one body is meaningless.
Everyone deserves to know the truth about the God that lies inside them. About who they truly are.

Whoever they are, I must see their spirit. I must respond to them from the God alter within my heart. This is to appreciate my brothers and sisters.

There are many ways that my ego can use my body but my spirit sees it as a means of communication between others and myself and between God and myself. As communicating is sharing, it becomes communion. Only my heart’s intentions for communication are real because it is a sharing of love. When egos come together for attack, the fear that arises, breaks communications. Nothing is being shared because the egos are after something they can get separately. Thus, my God self teaches me:
‘To have, give all to all ’.

She will help me once I decide to take the first step because it is not a lesson to be undertaken alone.

To have peace, teach peace to learn it, Lesson B, pg 106

If I believe I am separate from God and my brothers and sisters, then I also believe in rejection because I must believe that others are against me and God has abandoned me. I dissociate myself and project my fears onto others and God. What I believe I am and what I believe I teach. But I can believe wrongly and that means that I can be wrong about the beliefs I hold about myself.

Thought systems which aren’t shared are weakened. If others don’t have the same beliefs as I do or who don’t agree with me, I often view this as an attack on myself. I feel that my thought system represents who I believe I am and what I stand for. I must choose to extend truth by holding a thought system based around truth.

Strengthening my motivation to change is my first goal before I learn the lessons my heart wants to teach me. It is also my final goal. Change in motivation is a change in mind. My mind is fundamental and therefore only fundamental change can happen from there.

As I mentioned before, my spirit’s first lesson for me is ‘to have, give all to all’. Having seems to be the opposite of giving. This suggests to me that the lesson is contradictory because I’m reading it with a conflicted mind. My motivation to learn the lesson isn’t consistent yet. As I am not consistent, so I project inconsistency onto the minds of others and I wonder about their motives. My ego thinks this first lesson is insane because it doesn’t want to consider that it is insane. At the same time my spirit is trying to teach me this lesson. My right mind wants to hear it (the part of my mind with the voice of God). And so I am conflicted.

I sometimes hear my ego and sometimes my spirit. To release myself from these two conflicting thought systems is to devote myself to only choosing one to accept and leave the other to be rejected.

Peace of mind is impossible if I continue to listen to both, and while I accept the messages of my ego, I’m not living in the mind of God.

I want peace because I asked for this lesson, but I’m believing in conflict and my life can only show me conflict in return.

My ego tells me that I have to choose between sanity and insanity and that I can judge which holds the truth. My heart tells me that God created one and that he put the truth in it. My decisions and judgements can’t change that. My peaceful heart speaks to me with the soft voice of intuition and I realise that I can’t undo what God did for me. My heart gives me my second lesson; a positive affirmation of what I want.
“To have peace, teach (desire and believe in) peace to learn it”.

I have chosen the thought system I want. Peace is more desirable than conflict, but the desirable, at the end of these lessons, must not be looked at in differing degrees of difficulty. Truth is not difficult to accept although I think it is at times. Nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire wholly is to create. If I want something bad enough, I can make it happen, with all my heart. I have to believe it, feel it, see it and want it to happen. After all, God created me as creator. Creating can’t be difficult for me.

If I have peace by teaching and claiming it, I must start with wholly wanting peace. I must believe I can have peace and from there my thoughts and behaviour become peaceful and my life ultimately reflects peace back at me. This is what God knows and I share this knowledge with him in his mind.

Lesson C, Be vigilant, only for God and his kingdom.

I can let the voice within me recognise which of my thoughts are good or bad for me. For every bad thought I have, my God self speaks the truth even though I don’t listen to it often. If I have thoughts that are in line with what my God self says, my heart strengthens them within me and I am with God.

If a thought is slightly negative, my heart can purify it, by recognising why I feel that way and turning it around and now I understand. Those thoughts which are purely negative and therefore useless are judged against by the God within me. The heaven of peace and joy within me is consistent and unified.

But what God’s voice rejects, my ego accepts because they disagree with what I am.
So, the outcome is that my heart keeps me in joy with its knowledge of who I am. She protects the joy within me and keeps me connected to God. She keeps me wholly joyous.
My heart is judgemental but only in order to keep my mind focused on joy, so that my mind won’t need to be judgemental. All my mind can perceive is peace from all situations and it learns to believe without judging and be without judgement. If we are judgemental in mind, we usually end up judging against God’s voice within us. God’s voice says now:

“Be vigilant only for God and his kingdom (the place we live when we are peaceful)”.

This lesson tells me to be vigilant against conflict. I must be vigilant against the ego. I must constantly be aware of which beliefs and thoughts come from which voice.
Wake up.

There can be no exceptions although I may be tempted. I must therefore be consistent amidst the chaos. My heart teaches me that there’s no choice to be made. I learn which – the ego or God – brings me joy. I am creator and I need to remember this.
If I only allow peace and joy in my mind, then I accept what God put there and I acknowledge my mind as God created it. I accept it as it is. I believe in peace when my mind is whole and undivided by the ego.

Firstly, I learn that to have, I have to give. Next, I learn that my beliefs express themselves in my life and I realise that I have to choose a peaceful life. I must believe I can be peaceful. Being peaceful is Heaven because Heaven is peaceful. Makes sense doesn’t it?

My new belief system must recognise this truth. There is no separation between myself and Heaven.

The third lesson is to bring everything that enters my mind to my heart where God’s voice speaks to me. The voice represents absolute truth and I trust it without question. I believe without question. I must treat everyone the same and this is how I see my brothers and sisters as one. If I forget to do this, if someone irritates me, I am doubting God’s voice. I will lose awareness of its wholeness.

I can not be my true self while I doubt who I truly am.

Be vigilant against illusion. Doubting the God within me means that I can not see my own perfection. My ego tells me that I’m not perfect and so I doubt myself. Knowing that I am perfect is what I should be aiming to do. It shouldn’t be a belief that I am a child of God; it should be a knowing and a fact of life. Treating everyone the same – as though they are already perfect – means that I believe we are one. Don’t doubt this. If I do, I am losing the belief. I need to protect this belief from the ego. I don’t need to protect perfection in my being, but I do in my beliefs.

Truth is Heaven, lies are Hell. Lies are unreal. Just because I don’t believe the truth about myself it doesn’t mean that it isn’t in my being although I think it does. Accepting the ego’s voice, I created an alter in my mind which isn’t God’s. my mind must be healed. I can do this by not listening to the ego. Realising when I am being a victim. Realising when I am listening to words that go against who I truly am.

God radiates in my mind. I believe only in the God within me. Jesus had ego thoughts too but his relationship with God stayed strong because he kept an eye on what he was thinking. He made sure he didn’t sink into the victim mentality (poor me/I’m suffering/I’m stupid/he hates me/nothing goes right for me etc). I created depression by not being joyous. I value my depression or I wouldn’t give a part of my mind to it. When I feel myself thinking depressing thoughts it’s up to me to heal myself by snapping out of it. I am not depressed. The situation is depresseding.

Wake up. Wake up.I have to be clear about what I believe and take responsibility. I can’t be joyful on the outside but look for any opportunity to play the victim on the inside.
Either I believe that God’s voice is the truth or I believe that my ego speaks the truth. There can be no in between if I want to be healed.

‘My God. my aim and my fulfilment;
I am thy yesterday and thou art my tomorrow.
I am thy root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky,
And together we grow before the face of the sun.’
(Kahlil Gibran, The madman, God)

Chapter 7, The gifts of the Kingdom. The last step.

God created me. I did not create her. She inspired me to create like Her. I am in full communication with Her. We share a bond. A cord with each other. She is my mother-father.

If we created each other, the creative power which exists in the universe would be limited. This power could not increase, and I would not be co-creator with God. The creative power of the universe spreads through thought. She to me. Me to my creations. This is how the power expands outward. My accomplishments are like Hers as She created us and I increase us. I have the power to add to the earth but I don’t have the power to add to the creator of the earth.

I can increase the presence of God within Her creations and thus, add to God by being aware of my thoughts. Vigilant. And making sure they reflect the qualities of God within them. Yes, I have this power and it is mine. I remember what I am. I am God’s daughter and I am part God. My son is my creation. My son is God’s son. We create together, with love.
I love, as I think.
To think is to love.

Love extends outward like thought because it can’t be contained. It is limitless as we create.

I have always been because God has always been. Love and creating are out of time. My creations have always been because I can create only as God creates and God created me eternal.

My ego bargains with me. The ego doesn’t understand that I created it. It didn’t create me although it wants me to believe that.

To gain, I must give, in God’s eyes. God doesn’t bargain because my mother-father doesn’t limit Her gifts to me. My gifts to others must be like God’s gifts to me.
Your gift to others is what you believe yourself to be.

God is infinite love and infinite love is his gift to me. God created me by extending herself as me and so I can create in the same way. Let other people be an extension of what I believe myself to be. If I’m peaceful I can see the peace in others and create them that way.
God knows who I am. To know who I am I must think like God. She sees my perfection and wholeness. To see the peace in others (I am creating peace where it may not appear to exist) is done through love and therefore I create like God who creates in love.
The last step in the reawakening of knowledge is taken by God.

Pg 114, The law of the kingdom

Healing is the only kind of thinking that resembles the thought of God. To heal is to see the person who feels they are sick, as whole and perfect (as God sees us). This thinking reflects creation because we become one by increasing the thought form that we are perfect and send it out into the world.
What we think is real for us.

Even illusions become ‘real’ because we follow two voices. The ego’s and God’s. And we can respond to them. We believe what we see in ourselves and look for it in others, using our earthly mind. But our spirit minds know that what we see in others is what we are. God created this law by creating by it. I follow the law gladly. I let my God voice communicate and remind me of the law of creation.

I must know what truth is in order to extend it and see it in others.
In order to learn something I need to remember it. My spirit gives me something to remember. I remember who I am when I recognise truth. To remember this I must forget the voice of my ego’s lessons consistently. Therefore I remember myself consistently, so that I can appreciate the truth in me.

The reality of the kingdom
The meaning of God is me.
Extension.

The power of God’s mind is in me. If I see myself as separate from the mind of God then I’m experiencing myself as unreal. My ego thus teaches me that I am the opposite of what I truly am. But my mind belongs to God and not the ego because there’s the God alter within us that doesn’t accept the contradictory voice of the ego. Therefore our minds are more in line with peace.

My ego is always at war and is looking for others who will make it feel better (making me feel above others in some way). I must only look for sisters and brothers because only equals are at peace. God gives Her children everything. There’s no reason to compete. Everyone is my equal. I must be vigilant against opposing thoughts because all my conflicts come from it.

If I can stay in God’s mind, by seeing through her eyes, I will always be there.
It appears that I have to choose between worshipping at the alter of God or the alter of my ego, but in reality, there is no choice to be made. I am reality. God is reality. The ego is illusion. There is no choice to be made.

The mind that hears God’s voice reflects perfect thinking. If it is perfect it can only see perfection in others and that is how I will always see those around me as my brothers and sisters. Equal.

There is no questioning reality. My heart never questions reality. He undoes our question so that we may be certain. I ask for a sign. She gives me one. Certainty leads to peace because I am not in doubt. Nothing questionable enters my mind. I am like an infant, accepting and trusting. I am in perfect peace because my certainty – being truth – is shared and expanded to others. I see what I am in my brothers and sisters.
I let them be the mirrors to my soul.

Healing as the recognition of truth
Truth must be recognised.

My heart inspires me and God’s laws are certain. They are engraved upon my heart. Inspiration is the voice for God. Certainty is a law of God.
Healing is not directly from God. How can God feel the need to heal when he can only see me as whole and perfect? Healing comes from the heart – God’s voice - and from God’s laws.

My spirit, God and I are one. My spirit is in me and my spirit is of God. No truth is harder to achieve. There are no levels. I can go straight to God’s truth. This is true because I will it and God wills it.

Healing is of God because I remember his truth and forget the ego’s lies. There is no struggle here, in truth, because to forget the ego is to remember God. Forget to remember fully. Don’t leave space for the ego to exist in the first place. Focus on the one goal – to remember God and aim to unify my abilities to do that.

Healing teaches me about wholeness. Wholeness teaches me about God.
The ego divides and separates; my heart heals and unifies. I must learn about healing to undo my belief in differences. I heal others to heal myself. Healing allows me to see myself as one with others and I am seeing through the eyes of God – with right perception.

God’s gift to me is what I have and am. If I don’t use them I forget that I have it. I forget who I am when I forget God’s gift.
In the one mind of God where we are all united, is where truth lies. There is nothing else. All life is within the mind of God. It is God.

Healing is not recognising the ego in my brothers and sisters because what I see in others is what I am. By doing this I refuse to acknowledge fear. This lets me truly love and I can forget what I am not and remember what I am.

‘ …I said aloud…“What is truth?
And what is the truth to the guiltless when the hand of the executioner is already upon him?”
Then Jesus said with power, “None shall rule the world save with the spirit and truth.”
And I asked him saying “Are you of the spirit?”
He answered, “So are you also, though you know it not”.’
(Khalil Gibran, Jesus the son of man)

pg 119, Healing and the changelessness of mind.

The impulse to communicate is also the impulse to create. Minds communicate. The body develops abilities. It is the ego’s decision to use the body for anything else. Being ill is what the ego decides. Feeling pain is what the ego decides. It is my heart that makes the decision to communicate through the body (by healing myself and others). My ego thinks that the mind is useless because the body can communicate and create. Therefore I think that the body can act like the mind and I attribute to it, a spiritual power (which it doesn’t truly have).

Everyone must develop healing abilities to be healed. My heart communicates only through healing (seeing others as wholly perfect and without ego).

When we search for external medicines to heal us we are teaching ourselves and others that healing with spirit and intuition and God’s voice is harmful to us. That it’s an ability we want to ignore within ourselves. That there are better ways to do things which aren’t of God. External treatments weaken us. We aren’t recognising the truth of the matter. We can heal ourselves. The answer is within not without. No one has a greater ability to heal than I do.
No one.

Not a fully qualified doctor or therapist or spiritual healer. Not even a drug. If these people think they know more than me, they don’t know God if they think they have something that others lack.

To heal someone is simple – you remember them through your heart as whole and perfect – as God sees them. Listen to God’s voice. How would God see that person? How would God see you? I know that I can always heal at any time. Be consistent in this knowledge because healing is consistent. It is therefore conflict free.
Healing embodies the essence of the healed. Being conflict free. There are no exceptions. Exceptions are created by fear.

Fear does not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does.
Fear causes separation.

Healing is harmony because it brings hearts and souls together.
Healing is real. It is inspired by God’s voice. God is consistency. That is Her meaning. It is also mine. My meaning can not be different from God’s because my whole meaning comes from Hers and is like Hers. I can’t separate myself from my creator who created me by sharing Her being with me.

The unhealed healer, who thinks that he has something that others don’t, wants gratitude from his brothers but he is not grateful to them. He does not realise that in what he has given, he has actually received also. He can’t see all he could be learning. Being ungrateful causes sickness.
True learning is constant. It never stops.

I have the power to change my mind therefore I have the power to change the world. The mind is a device for change. To change my mind at God’s alter is to see my mind for what it is and recognise first that it is changeless (That the peaceful route I am taking is what my mind had taken all along. I thought I was angry but that was of the ego and therefore was illusion) and next, that it holds the most amazing power within it. The nature of my mind and everyone else’s mind is that it is beautiful/perfect/whole/ connected and shared with God.

A sick person has apparently only forgotten these things. If I want to heal this person, I must realise that this is an illusion created by the ego. The sick person has not truly forgotten these things because their mind can only encapsulate them. Their mind is, after all, shared with God. Their mind is changeless because God is consistent.
See his heart and soul.
Change his mind for him.

I can not forget my mother-father God and to forget Jesus’ teachings is to forget myself.
My brothers and sisters can be forgetful. I need to remember the teachings of Jesus and God so that I can change their minds about themselves! If they won’t realise their own power I’ll do it for them, by realising my own! We are all of the same mind. I see the mind everywhere. We are all in it. I will then see only what is true. I will make my brothers and sisters aware of the light in them. This is my gift to God.

‘My soul counselled me and assured me
That I am neither higher than the pygmy nor lower than the giant.
Before that day I beheld mankind as two men,
The one a weakling whom I derided or pitied,
And the other a mighty man whom I would either follow or oppose in rebellion.
But now I know that I was formed even from the same dust of which all men are created,
That my elements are their elements, and my inner self is their inner self.
My struggle is their struggle, and their pilgrimage is mine own…’
(Khalil Gibran, My soul counselled me)

pg 123, From vigilance to peace
When I see something in other human beings which I don’t like, I assume that quality is within everyone. I have to eliminate this form of attack entirely. Whatever I give out – fear or love – creates more of it’s self and returns to me to affect my perception of everything, including God and my brothers and sisters.

If I accept attack, I can’t love because I think I can destroy love and that in itself means that I don’t understand the nature of love and ultimately, I can not see myself as loving. I lose my awareness of being and this causes me to see what is not real instead and I am confused.

My thinking has done this with its power and I must understand I can direct my thinking as I choose. If I don’t believe I can do this, I deny its power and believe it’s powerless.
I am love. Love is my power.

The ego must deny my power because my power gives me everything. If I realised I had everything, I wouldn’t want the ego.
My mind believes in the illusions it creates. My heart undoes illusions without attack because He can’t perceive them. They don’t exist in the eyes of my higher self. Conflict is meaningless therefore it is not understandable.
My heart doesn’t want me to understand conflict because understanding brings acceptance and appreciation and then love and I don’t want to love my mind’s conflicts.

‘…If in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness
And pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,
But not all of your laughter,
And weep,
But not all of your tears…’
(Khalil Gibran, The prophet)
