M: So if I give up all expectations, all dreams, desires and goals. If I completely give up thinking I know what is best for me. What then?
C: In that void the TRUTH will naturally rush in to meet that invitation.
M: So maybe I should just sit and meditate for long periods. Isn’t that the same thing?
C: It is impossible to understand TRUTH while continuing to maintain goals for your world. The mind does not cease from its commitment to making the dream “real.” Your world unravels within you, even when you believe your thoughts are inconsequential and account for nothing. Seeking to quiet the mind, while still attached to what the “noise” offers only reinforces sacrifice because you believe something will be LOST. Truth requires no loss at all.
M: So nothing should matter? I should just not care about anything?
C: When “care” is a direct product of fear, it serves only to magnify that which gave it birth. Fear always seeks to CONTROL what it “cares” for and your constant vigilance toward controlling your world is utterly exhausting. Your need for control only informs the mind that the threat of LOSS is “real,” insuring the result will be as asked and LOSS will be real. What you ask for, you always receive. Make no mistake, what you CONTROL as a result of “care” you will lose, because you have insured this FACT by nature of your control. This is exactly how the “world” you experience is constructed.
M: It is very hard to let go when I have an idea of what I want.
C: You have many “ideas,” but you have NO certainty. This is why you have called on me because I am always CERTAIN. Certainty controls nothing because there is simply NO need.
M: I get what you’re saying. But the desire to make things happen the way I want, is often irresistible.
C: If you are NOT perpetually increased by your “desires,” know that you have limited yourself by applying conditions that only inhibit freedom. You clearly know the feelings that come from fear. But you have no experience of the joy inherent to a complete absence of fear. As long as you seek to control reality, your fears can only multiply perpetually. To desire a specific outcome naturally seeks to bend reality to the conditions necessary to experience what you desire.
Fear and control are in DIRECT relationship with one another. There is NEVER one without the other. The more fear you experience, the more control you apply and the more control applied the more fear must naturally increase. You cannot break this cycle by addressing FEAR, simply because you fear everything. But you can give up control by transferring it to me. Until fear is banished from your mind, choices must be made to control the dream from within it, rather than from within YOU. I can make choices for you, because I am absent all fear.
There has never been a moment from which you correspond with your world completely absent fear. Make no mistake in this one thing above all others, if you are not experiencing indescribable joy, then fear is what you have chosen to experience. You struggle to give up control, because your fear makes it necessary. Substituting my direction in place of your control is tantamount to “death,” because you equate control of your world with “life.” Your “pursuit of happiness” is nothing more than pursuing ever greater control of your world.
The only way you will ever release FROM fear is by understanding that there is nothing TO fear and you will realize this FACT by surrendering control of that which your fear constructed.
M: I should just let things happen?
C: Nothing “happens” without your asking. You paint the dream with broad strokes, but give attention only to details. It is absurd to lament your demise while dreaming of death. It is foolhardy to feel buffeted about in a dream of chance and still grieve missed opportunities and it is pure insanity to dream of hate and still seek to find the love you have insured cannot be “there.”
M: I feel that I’m spinning my wheels with all this and there never seems to be any joy to life, just one problem after another.
C: And every problem is always the same. You believe problems interfere with the joy you desire. But it is the lack of joy that is foundation to every “problem” the mind installs in awareness. Joy does NOT cause problems, but the absence of joy must experience problems naturally, because this is its purpose.
Hence, it stands to reason that lack of joy is cause and NOT effect. But you believe “happiness” is a product of the world and must be caused from it, rather than engaging a “world” that is product of the joy in YOU. To seek happiness in a dream that you demand reflect deprivation is insane. Nothing in your dream of can give you joy until you demand that purpose of it, because it will only conform to the purpose you set.
It will take time to revert from problem seeking to joy, because you have allotted much time to this “perception.” Nevertheless, this is the purpose you must learn and for which you have called on me to teach.
Your experiences are repetitive because you think the same thoughts and you do not yet believe that your thoughts make your world and so the world never changes but repeats your thinking.
M: As much as I try to be guided, ego eventually takes over and I’m right back where I started.
C: Although you are much closer than before, you are NOT yet fully committed. You still remain committed to parts of the dream.
M: I still have to participate in parts of the dream.
C: A body can only “participate” in parts. A mind creates in whole and ALL the parts participate in that unity. You are committed to participation and not creation and the parts reflect this fact. The goal requires ONLY your full commitment, after which, “all else will come unto thee.” This is no different than committing to the goals of a dream. However, you have not yet fully committed to what the dream offers either.
You are fully committed to NOTHING.
In a dream, what you receive is based on the level of commitment you apply, because a dream can have NO certainty. God is certain and therefore, requires full commitment for the goal of certainty to be achieved.
M: So every waking moment I must be fully committed to God?
C: Is it not a worthy goal to awake from your lack of commitment to an uncertain dream, by committing to the certainty of TRUTH? Or would you rather continue your serial commitments to the parts of the dream that have NO ability to wake you from a dream of suffering? Would it not be a more worthy goal to “participate” in parts, while fully committed to the whole? Or do you find suffering through the uncertainty of a dream more to your benefit than freedom from suffering through the certainty of the whole? TRUTH can be found even in the uncertainty of a dream, when certain of your commitment to seeing ONLY that. You cannot partially commit to the certainty of TRUTH and KNOW God. TRUTH is known in full or not at all and your commitment to parts demonstrates that you are committed to knowing NOTHING. Therefore, I ask only for your full commitment.
Your lack of commitment to seeing the dream causes you to suffer through your “participation” in the uncertainty of the parts. Full and unwavering commitment to God will alleviate that instantly. My hand has been extended for centuries waiting for the moment you take it. Have faith in that certainty and nothing will ever be the same again.

The Curse of Perception
M: Why does this hurt so much?
C: If you add what does not belong you will suffer from what you insist is “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and free yourself from what you impose upon the experience of “you.” Make no mistake, the “world” is nothing more than the experience of your “self” from which you push away ALL that you have determined as NOT “you.”
Such attempts to control a delusional reality from within the delusion are destined to fail, because it only reinforces the power to be controlled by that which you determine as separate from you. There is nothing apart from your mind. Nothing leaves your mind and you are “there” as is everything you perceive as divided from you.
All fear merely attests to the fear of your own thought.
M: What doesn’t belong?
C: Everything you demand as “real” only blocks TRUTH by keeping the experience of your “self” in scattered pieces rather than WHOLE. Forcing “reality” to conform to your expectations creates defenses against the TRUTH of the whole by attacking the parts that you deem as separate from that wholeness.
What you determine as NEEDED can only defend against TRUTH, because TRUTH simply does not conform to the chaos of your separate and divided thoughts. Nothing you THINK reflects wholeness, but merely perpetuates the weakness inherent to the parts that you have expelled. You will expect attack from that which you banish and your thoughts currently reflect that constant preparation. Yet, what is a part of you cannot attack when it experiences the wholeness that only YOU can provide.
What belongs will be apparent by the fact that YOU have no need of it. This makes it free and clear of your conditions and you will experience the WHOLENESS inherent to that absence.
You will ONLY be increased by what comes to you without condition.
Conditions are nothing more than your preparation for defense against that which you have expelled. You have expelled everything and that exclusion is evident by the very act of SEEING.
Your needs are the conditions from which awareness of “reality” is sculpted into chaotic pieces having NO purpose whatsoever. This does NOT reflect TRUTH, but results in “perception.” Yet, you fail to realize that the very act of perception slices up the whole into separate disparate parts. Therefore, you must understand that you can never experience wholeness through perception. Yet, you can give wholeness TO perception and be renewed by that unified experience.
M: So I should just give up all my needs?
C: You will ALWAYS suffer from what you evaluate and "perceive" as LOSS. In a world through which you must defend against the parts, there is NO capacity to perceive the TRUTH that is right before your “eyes.”
There can be no loss in TRUTH, because it takes nothing away and ONLY increases. Only perception looks for and sees loss.
But you fear you will be deprived and so you fear what TRUTH will give you. Through perception you demonstrate your fear of having everything and losing nothing. Hence, perception has cursed you with the need to judge between parts by what the parts contain. This weakens you because there is nothing in the parts but what perception provides by “seeing” it.
Yet, still, you do not believe “perception” a curse, but idolize it as a means of “survival.” You will “die,” but only because you “perceive” death and perception makes it true.
M: So I just have to recognize that I have NO needs? Again, another impossible task!
C: Indeed, for one who perceives NEED, the task appears insurmountable. Deprivation makes TRUTH seem unavailable, lost and in need of discovery. Why else would you have called on me if not to aid you in correcting this error?
M: So what about this particular situation?
C: What I teach applies to all situations. Your belief in “particular” situations is why you have yet to understand TRUTH.
There are no situations or events separate from TRUTH. There is only what you choose to experience either through TRUTH or through perception. If you encase TRUTH in the concepts you “perceive,” you will be controlled by an “outside” world.
However, you are free to change your thinking at any time and this “particular situation” can be of incalculable value toward that goal. But you must take direction from one who knows that value.
You have been here before many times over. Yet, of your “self,” you can only repeat the past, because your perception is a product of that past and you will only see what it teaches you.
M: So what do you want me to do?
C: Nothing
M: What do you mean “nothing”? I have to do something or things could go wrong.
C: Are you not yet weary of all your efforts? Have you not yet realized you have no basis for perceiving right or wrong? Are you not ready to let down your defenses in the realization that they have not served you?
Perception is a defense against TRUTH and your reliance on it fails to increase you. When you are ready you will give me ALL your experiences and I will show you how to see it ALL in TRUTH. I will show you that right and wrong are not part of TRUTH and you will be overjoyed with the understanding that you need not rely on perception as the means of making CHOICES. You will experience freedom beyond your wildest imaginings in the realization that you need do nothing at all.
Your mind languishes in a hell of your CHOOSING. What more could freedom be than an END to this?
In this "situation," do not decide you know what is best. Make no choices based on perception without first asking me what it means. Do not be afraid and have faith that you will learn and what you learn will naturally increase you as only the TRUTH can. You are already suffering because your egocentric perceptions mislead you into making choices that decrease you, causing you to experience weakness and loss. This wastes time and is completely unnecessary.
M: You want me to deny reality.
C: I ask that you deny the reality you have made, because it was made to be perceived apart from TRUTH.
God created TRUTH because God is TRUTH and so MUST you be. Nothing you “perceive” can change that FACT simply because what is separate from God cannot exist in TRUTH. You are NOT separate from God but your incessant need to “perceive” your world denies this FACT from you.
I teach only the TRUTH as it was placed within me and nothing else. I am the TRUTH and I AM in you as you are in me. You cannot “perceive” me, nor do I perceive you. We are joined as ONE through the mind that gave us life and that life cannot be experienced through perception.
Yet, the experience of that LIFE can completely alter perception and what you “see” will astound you, but only until the moment TRUTH dawns on you and perception ceases its hold as all remnants of the past evaporate like fallen raindrops in the hot midday sun.
This freedom awaits you my brother as it awaits ALL that you “perceive.” Perception can only whither and die under the magnificence of TRUTH.
No longer will you be troubled by choices that fail to summon TRUTH before your eyes. This is your inheritance and delay no longer in accepting what is yours, as it was given you upon your Creation. This dream is not your home. But it can serve to show you the way when it no longer serves any other purpose BUT that alone.
C: If you add what does not belong you will suffer from what you insist is “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and free yourself from what you impose upon the experience of “you.” Make no mistake, the “world” is nothing more than the experience of your “self” from which you push away ALL that you have determined as NOT “you.”

Truth is Known by Increase
M: Why does this hurt so much?
C: If you add what does not belong, you will suffer from what you insist be “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and be free from what you impose upon yourself.
Your attempts to control a delusional reality by manipulating your delusions must fail, because it only reinforces the power of what is not TRUE to control you.
M: What doesn’t belong?
C: Everything manipulated as “real" can only block TRUTH. Forcing “reality” to conform to your expectations demands you defend against TRUTH. What you determine as NEEDED defends against what is TRUE, because TRUTH does not conform to what you THINK and every experience is a product of your thought. Nothing is free of your mind and that is a law of God which you can NOT alter. You can deny it and this is the chief defining property of ALL your suffering.
M: So nothing I see, hear, touch or even think for that matter, is real?
C: It is ALL very “real” for you. Yet, it holds no TRUTH because it does NOT increase you.
What belongs will be apparent by the fact that it is free of your conditions. Your conditions result from your belief in deprivation. You can ONLY be increased by what comes to you FREE, without condition. Your conditions are filters that channel awareness to what must be defended as separate from the WHOLE. Only what is separate do you refer to as “real.” Therefore, you know nothing as TRUE.
You believe constant increase is impossible and that everything must eventually decrease and die. Your needs arise from deprivation and are the conditions from which the “real” is constructed. The details are intensely imaginative and “real” for you, but completely delusional. “Real” is a delusional concept of your invention. TRUTH does NOT know of it, because TRUTH has an opposite.
M: So I should just give up all my needs?
C: You will ALWAYS suffer from what you evaluate as LOSS. In a world through which you experience deprivation, you have LOST the capacity to see the TRUTH that appears directly before your eyes.
There can be no loss in TRUTH, because it takes nothing away and ONLY increases. But you fear it will deprive you of your egocentric "reality" and so you fear what TRUTH will give because it will give you everything and you will lose nothing. That which is defined through deprivation will cease to exist when it has everything. Yet, if TRUTH increases everything then deprivation cannot possibly exist NOW, as that would be a lie. The logic of TRUTH is quite elementary, but is well hidden within the complexity of your egocentric concepts.
M: So I just have to recognize that I have NO needs? Again, another impossible task!
C: Indeed, for one who believes in deprivation, the task appears insurmountable. Deprivation makes TRUTH seem unavailable, lost and in need of discovery. Why else would you have called on me if not to aid you in correcting this error?
M: So what about this particular situation?
C: Your belief in “particular” situations is why you have yet to understand that TRUTH encompasses all experience. There are no situations or events. No episodes or moments. No days or months or years. There are no specific or particular experiences. There is, and can only ever be, one TRUTH, applicable in all cases.
However, you are free to change your MIND at any time and this “particular situation” can be of incalculable value toward that goal if you so choose. But you must take direction from one who knows what that value is. You do recognize you have been here before and, of your “self,” you have NO recourse other than to repeat the past, because past thoughts have NO basis for existence in TRUTH.
M: So what do you want me to do?
C: Nothing.
M: What do you mean “nothing”? I have to do something.
C: Are you not yet weary of all your frantic efforts? What thought, concept or belief from the past will save you this time? Have you not yet realized you have no basis for determining right or wrong? Are you not yet ready to let down your defenses in the realization that they have not served you and, in fact, only perpetuate suffering? Does your “world” not demonstrate this to you?
When you are ready you will give me ALL your experiences and I will show you how to see it ALL as ONE. I will show you that right and wrong are not part of TRUTH and you will be overjoyed with the understanding that you need not CHOOSE any longer. You will experience freedom beyond your wildest imaginings in the realization that you need do nothing at all. Your mind languishes in a hell of your CHOOSING. What more could freedom be than an END to making the choice TO suffer?
In this situation, do not decide you know what is best. Make no choices without my counsel. Do not be afraid and have faith that you will learn and what you learn will naturally increase you, as only TRUTH can. learning that does not provide constant increase is ignorance. Is it clear to you now that, in all your years, you have learned nothing at all?
You have no means of accurate assessment. You are always wrong when you believe you are right and right when you are wrong. There can be NO difference in a dream of “reality” except what you decide and you do not have the means of deciding anything correctly because you have assessed it ALL as “real.” It is this evaluation that divides your world and tears it into opposing pieces and through these scattered pieces you define a “self” as part of the whole, thereby, denying that you tore it apart so as NOT to know the whole.
You are here to learn what YOU are and have called on me to teach you. Take rest in me and I will take up your burden and we will tread lightly together. Walk this dream with lightened steps and an ease to your gait, because you walk with one who knows the way out.
C: If you add what does not belong, you will suffer from what you insist be “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and be free from what you impose upon yourself.
What you superimpose upon experience diminishes you.
Your attempts to control a delusional reality by manipulating your delusions must fail, because it only reinforces the power of what is not TRUE to control you.
M: What doesn’t belong?
C: Everything manipulated as “real" can only block TRUTH. Forcing “reality” to conform to your expectations demands you defend against TRUTH. What you determine as NEEDED defends against what is TRUE, because TRUTH does not conform to what you THINK and every experience is a product of your thought. Nothing is free of your mind and that is a law of God which you can NOT alter. You can deny it and this is the chief defining property of ALL your suffering.
M: So nothing I see, hear, touch or even think for that matter, is real?
C: It is ALL very “real” for you. Yet, it holds no TRUTH because it does NOT increase you.
TRUTH is known by increase. It cannot decrease, lose or take away. It cannot fade or change. It does not reduce, limit or obstruct. It does NOT suffer from deprivation because it is deprived of nothing. It is constant and has absolutely NO conditions because it is absolutely FREE.
What belongs will be apparent by the fact that it is free of your conditions. Your conditions result from your belief in deprivation. You can ONLY be increased by what comes to you FREE, without condition. Your conditions are filters that channel awareness to what must be defended as separate from the WHOLE. Only what is separate do you refer to as “real.” Therefore, you know nothing as TRUE.

No days or months or years. There are no specific or particular experiences. There is, and can only ever be, one TRUTH, applicable in all cases.
If you lock away your experiences behind limiting concepts, you must only be imprisoned within the finite, conditional thoughts of your own mind. This is your “reality” and it is only your thinking that is deprived.
However, you are free to change your MIND at any time and this “particular situation” can be of incalculable value toward that goal if you so choose. But you must take direction from one who knows what that value is. You do recognize you have been here before and, of your “self,” you have NO recourse other than to repeat the past, because past thoughts have NO basis for existence in TRUTH.

Interpreting Salvation
C: You interpret a need to suffer again?
M: I can’t help it. Things are not working out well.
C: How do you know that?
M: It’s what I experience.
C: Egocentric exclusivity demands ALL experience demonstrate a separation from your world. Inclusive oneness does not simply incorporate “other people,” but ALL that the mind perceives itself apart from.
Your salvation is based entirely upon interpretation, because you have the POWER to interpret yourself SAVED from the suffering of exclusivity into an inclusive whole and from that interpretation you ARE saved. God waits for you to make this decision and it is certain that YOU will.
M: So I just need to interpret myself saved and I’m saved?
C: Nothing more is needed. You interpret yourself in hell and, hence, this is your experience. If everything your mind shows you is THOUGHT, and I assure you it is ONLY that, then “hell” is simply an interpretation that you are separate from your own THINKING. You have invented THOUGHTS that you interpret as beyond your control. But how can this be if it is ALL your invention?
M: I still don’t see how this helps me.
C: Recognize that nothing in your world is what you have interpreted it to be and discard your interpretations as meaningless. You have learned nothing from them, except to unravel ever more absurd meanings from erroneous perceptions based on false interpretations. All previous interpretations are completely useless to you NOW.
The original interpretation that you are separate from God and, hence, from everyone in your “world,” made all subsequent decisions patently meaningless. You must correct the original interpretation before you will interpret your world correctly.
The dream unfolds as nothing more than an interpretation on you. The “world” conforms to what you interpret your “self” to be and not what the world determines you ARE. You interpret the world as oppositional to you when, in fact, you only oppose your “self.” You hate what you are, but seek a way to “love” yourself and this “loving hatred” is reflected back to you. Everywhere you look you perceive a world of other minds hating what the mind seems to show them, but desperately seeking for a way to love what they fear. This is how you interpret your “self” and, thus, it stands to reason that you would SEE your world this same way.
There can be NO peace to a confused mind split between interpretations of love and fear. Eventually, you must choose only one, because there is only one. This is what you have called on me to show you. Do NOT deny the purpose you give me.
M: If I made the world, why is it not the way I want?
C: The disorder and chaos of your world simply reflects the meaningless disorder of your mind. Yet, you continue to claim that it is “out there.” You refuse to accept your role and what is “out there” only reflects that refusal. You adjust your inner state to what you behold “outside” and inevitably suffer internally from what you make externally “real.”
You have sought out many situations as a means of finding “happiness.” Each situation brings you NO closer to what you seek, because you will not FIND it in a “world” that you have made as a means to HIDE it. Why insist on seeking what you have arranged can NEVER be found?
These situations must be interpreted in a way for PEACE to return. There is nothing that need be sacrificed for this to be LEARNED in every moment. If you could experience the Joy of God inherent to TRUTH, you would know this without doubt and peace would be experienced in every moment.
M: But you want me to surrender everything I believe in.
C: What GIFTS have your beliefs bestowed upon you? Have they alleviated your fear or ended your suffering? Have they given you infinite joy and peace? Have they provided you with a love conditioned on nothing, but love itself? Do your thoughts dissolve all conflict or merely further reinforce opposing conditions? Have you ever experienced JOY from what you believe and is that JOY transferable to your "world”?
It is inherent to your God given free-will to believe whatever you should choose and how you respond to your world immediately demonstrates what you have chosen. I merely teach that there is another choice available, because this is what you ask of me.
Do not determine your role in any situation. Make no decisions on what you wish to happen or on what outcome you feel is best. Make no judgments on what you want and await what will be shown to you because YOU have asked for it. Understand that if you feel deprived or discouraged in any moment, then you have decided in error and ask for correction.
M: I can’t help it. Things are not working out well.
C: How do you know that?
M: It’s what I experience.
C: Egocentric exclusivity demands ALL experience demonstrate a separation from your world. Inclusive oneness does not simply incorporate “other people,” but ALL that the mind perceives itself apart from.
Your salvation is based entirely upon interpretation, because you have the POWER to interpret yourself SAVED from the suffering of exclusivity into an inclusive whole and from that interpretation you ARE saved. God waits for you to make this decision and it is certain that YOU will.
M: So I just need to interpret myself saved and I’m saved?
C: Nothing more is needed. You interpret yourself in hell and, hence, this is your experience. If everything your mind shows you is THOUGHT, and I assure you it is ONLY that, then “hell” is simply an interpretation that you are separate from your own THINKING. You have invented THOUGHTS that you interpret as beyond your control. But how can this be if it is ALL your invention?
M: I still don’t see how this helps me.
C: Recognize that nothing in your world is what you have interpreted it to be and discard your interpretations as meaningless. You have learned nothing from them, except to unravel ever more absurd meanings from erroneous perceptions based on false interpretations. All previous interpretations are completely useless to you NOW.
The original interpretation that you are separate from God and, hence, from everyone in your “world,” made all subsequent decisions patently meaningless. You must correct the original interpretation before you will interpret your world correctly.
The dream unfolds as nothing more than an interpretation on you. The “world” conforms to what you interpret your “self” to be and not what the world determines you ARE. You interpret the world as oppositional to you when, in fact, you only oppose your “self.” You hate what you are, but seek a way to “love” yourself and this “loving hatred” is reflected back to you. Everywhere you look you perceive a world of other minds hating what the mind seems to show them, but desperately seeking for a way to love what they fear. This is how you interpret your “self” and, thus, it stands to reason that you would SEE your world this same way.
There can be NO peace to a confused mind split between interpretations of love and fear. Eventually, you must choose only one, because there is only one. This is what you have called on me to show you. Do NOT deny the purpose you give me.

If not, then why would you wish to keep “believing”? What purpose do your beliefs serve except to perpetuate what came before and why would you wish more of the same?

Your feelings can be used to measure your distance from TRUTH. When you allow TRUTH to guide you, you will feel measurably INCREASED beyond anything you have ever experienced. Nothing from the PAST can insure this increase. Hence, believe that you DO NOT KNOW and believe nothing else, because no other belief has the power to save you from the hell you have made by what you believe.
