Writing Is My Friend and My Therapy

I cannot have open conversations with the people in my world. So, I talk to me (and you, the Collective whom I call Christ) here.

I can sense a new era coming before me in my personal life. And perhaps as a Whole according to those I listen to. For what one does affects the whole.

It is from my personal existence that I bear testimony that I know is relevant to the teachings of Jesus.

It was not that long ago that I asked the powers that be for the words and language that would communicate what they wanted me to share with the United Consciousness of Christ at this time.

I am certain……(Forgive me, I have to pause here for a minute and explain something. I used to say I believe but my studies of A Course In Miracles has shown me how walking in the witness of the Holy Spirit gives an individual certainty, so you will hear me speak with an “I am certain,” rather than an” I believe.”)

I am certain that I was told that it would take a physical experience to give me the words to speak what needs to be said by me at this time.

I do not like pain and I am certain that the many dreams I woke from that had me being counseled very thoroughly had to do with preparation for the breaking of my right femur and tibia (the bones in the lower part of my leg).

It would not only have been to prepare me for the breaking of my bones but for the interactions that I would be having with several individuals among those who would be called to give me assistance at that time and during my recovery.

Even the path and location of the mishap were reviewed several times in the weeks prior to the incident. I looked at that spot and I said, “do not go there, walk ahead and turn up this way because that can be treacherous on a good day.”

It took a few weeks after the accident before I realized that my devotions had been too steady and stable for this to have come upon me out of the blue. And remember, there are no coincidences. I had to have been prepared for it and it had to have been the answer to my heart’s desire.

I heard today, “We can use all pain as a way to shift ourselves.” Confirmation to me of what the Spirit has been teaching me these past several weeks. I began this writing at least three weeks ago and the world has shifted with the war in Ukraine. I believe, as do others that the Collective is changing their belief in the power of a few to believe in power given by the Divine Source to each of us individually.

The pain of the break and its subsequent consequences has taught me about myself on a physical level and about the human condition as we experience it today.

It has echoed through my soul and shown me that humanity as a whole is very much aware of its fragile state and, while the ego keeps us distracted, it cannot quite calm the terror that we actually have given ourselves to live in.

I hope that we understand that this is not at all what God intended for His Son to experience.

From ACIM Workbook Lesson 49:

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.

1. It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. ²The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. ³It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world’s laws. ⁴It is this part that is constantly distracted, disorganized and highly uncertain.

2. The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. ²It is really the only part there is. ³The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. ⁴Try today not to listen to it. ⁵Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. ⁶Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.

I saw the animated movie, Moana again recently and I cannot help but see similarities in the teachings of Jesus and what I see there. Te Fiti is Christ as a whole which is the creators that WE ARE MEANT to be. Teka personifies the ego-mind and its desire to earn love or to destroy whatever it sees with its anger and hate. Whereas Maui mimics the belief that humanity is the one running the show and bringing all the wonderful things to pass instead of giving the Creator His due acknowledgment and gratitude. We like to praise our demi-gods as we set them up to have power over us.

The ocean reminds me of the Holy Spirit that guides, directs, and testifies, over and over, that you are the Chosen One. We each hold that position, it is not just for a special few as Lesson 49 shows us.

As I go through this experiential process of physical pain and healing from a broken leg on the 21st of January 2022, I am reminded of the nature of the transition from ego-mind to right-mindedness with God.

The Atonement is only the beginning of the correction that the Mind of the Son of God needs to take to return to His rightful state within God’s Full Embodiment.

We are each a part of that. And any delay only asks for more suffering for the Son of God which you and I are.

Jesus shared his witness as a male and perhaps as the first consciousness to have considered the possibility of separation from God.

In ACIM Jesus states he is the first to receive the Atonement and the undoing of the belief in something so impossible as creation being separated from the Creator.

I strongly suspect that there is a feminine witness to come forth that will be able to endure the emotional and psychological tortures that the ego places upon itself and will be able to survive and thrive in the Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth itself before it has fully transformed and been restored. We are all a part of this as we avail ourselves of the Atonement.

ALL will understand eventually, and God does not play favorites even if Jesus does ask us to play certain roles in the Universal Plan that will allow all parts of the Sonship to see the need and desire to return to the truth that there could be no separation from God or each other.

The ego-mind that was created at the idea of separation has participants as well but they are still part of the Sonship and our prayers of forgiveness and well-being need to go out to them.

God is mindful of each of us and wants us to return to the remembrance of Him that His glory may shine through His glorified Son whom God sees as One Whole and as His Beloved.

When God looks at any part of the Sonship He sees the whole Sonship and in that knows each and every part intimately. Believe me, you matter to HIM.

We want to seek to withstand what must be and know that it will not overwhelm us, that God IS, and all that is not of Him is not lasting or consequential in the long run.

Commit to the human side of existence, by being willing to feel all that it offers and focus on the Kingdom of God, at the same time.

Humanity has a weakness to be suseptible to mind games like “letting people get inside your head” but we must exercise the strength of our faith to move beyond that, knowing that God is our Guidance and NO OTHER has the ability to take that position.

Even if we convince ourselves that it is possible or desireable for a time. We can choose differently today.

We can know that there could be no other True Guide for ONLY GOD IS and that means ONLY HIS WILL IS REAL in any true form at all.

We can recognize that to “go after” or “attack” any individual for ANY offense means that you support the ego's idea of separation and that to punish them is only an attempt to destroy yourself who is THE SON OF GOD.

I am NOT saying do not have boundaries and stand in the Atonement.

I AM saying that the idea of restitution and punishment must come to an end.

Because it serves the ego-mind of mental illness and does not serve truth.

It can even feed the idea of grandiosity as one claims superiority over another by deciding what is worthy of punishment.

It means we must place any situation in the hands of Jesus and the parties involved in orchestrating the Universal Plan and pray that healthier choices will be made by each, and that they will recognize their own value no longer feeling the need to harm or contain (imprison) another in any form or fashion.

THIS, to me, is the MIRACLE of A Course In Miracles because it reveals the Son of God to Himself.

Don’t get me wrong. I know it will not change overnight and there will need to be consequences for a while but just be aware that for all who get consequences there are 1000’s of attacks against humanity that go unidentified because we have driven it into the darkness and we need to be the light to clear out the darkness that holds humanity bound.

We can no longer excuse atrocities and find justifications for them.

At the very least pray a prayer of forgiveness and wholeness into the situation. This needs to be our attitude as a society and IT IS the attitude of the ATONEMENT that understands that we are all connected.

Today civilized ideas of “privacy” protect offenders who would manipulate and attack their own flesh and blood to declare #1 their existence and #2 its ability to destroy itself and others, and that no one can stop it. This is what the ego calls “freedom”.

Do not refuse to see.

That makes you an ally to the darkness.

We must recognize that not one of us can hurt without all being in pain. We are a Collective, a united entity. This will change the world we live in.

Let us not tell our children we will keep them safe when the truth is our hands are tied and they KNOW it. Do not teach them falsehoods but be honest and let them forge a new world and bring the Kingdom of God to earth.

Teach the children of our united connection to divinity and speak to them of the inner voice that will guide them when they understand this.

We need to choose to get on the same page as a Collective so that freedom is understood and self-worth is not a question for anyone.

We all see situations where we are concerned about abuse or somebody taking advantage of others who are vulnerable. The very young or the elderly are easily seen as targets but we are all wounded because of our belief in separation from God. The wounds breed fear and make us subject to manipulation and abuse of power.

Some of us are so adept at distracting ourselves that we do not see it at all.

That does not mean it is not there.

I see signs all around that walls are built to trap people in plane sight. For sexual trafficking but also for all other sorts of power plays and if they can do it in plain sight and not be called on it that just adds to the “rush” of the “fix” of the offense for the perpetrator.

Mind your own business they say but as Charles Dickens taught us Humanity IS OUR BUSINESS.

We are of One Mind as the Christ and all that you do or think affects me and mine. So be mindful of what you observe for entertainment. There is no such thing as fictional abuse because all thought has life in some form.

Even war is not the result of any individual or even a group. The presumed ability to keep secrets or have “skeletons in a closet” are what makes it possible.

War is the result of humanity ignoring the atrocities that are taking place in our everyday lives.

It is the Christ Consciousness roaring and demanding that the truth be SEEN.

All of these outbreaks of war and criminal behavior, terrorism, and shootings are the symptoms of the psychotic illness that the Mind of Christ is currently trapped in and as long as we see these things as separate from ourselves they will continue to manifest and it is ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY.

IF YOU WANT TO END WAR START TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND CLEANSE SOCIETY’S CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BELIEF THAT POWER TRIPS ON ANYONE ARE NECESSARY OR ACCEPTABLE!

What is the counsel of the Holy Spirit regarding attack or power plays according to my current understanding?

To put a spotlight on the situation generically, with forgiveness.

Our individual stories give us the language to tell the Son of God what He is doing to Himself. And to expose it for the NONSENSE that it is.

Acknowledge the betrayal, abandonment, and abuse you see in your life and forgive it. Call it what it is in forgiveness and establish new paradigms of healthy boundaries that allow all to be free, safe, and prosperous.

Do not fear the harm that can come to the body. Understand that the greater loss is what can happen to the mind and heart of creation.

These are the things that I want to implement into my everyday existence because I believe it serves the Whole of the Collective Consciousness of Creation/Christ.

Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
