God Did Not Cause Your World

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 06:18PM

M: Will all this learning result in some sort of “awakened” state of mind, similar to the reports of the “ancient masters”?

J: Your world is hypnotically captivated by the past and this fuels your compulsion to repeat the same lonely journey. A journey based on “reports” from the past can only take you backward to a past destination. From that destination, you will only arrive at this question and, once again, you will seek an answer from a past in which you are taught to repeat the journey once again. You travel in circles, crossing the same ancient burial grounds you crossed before, only to continually look back for the same answer from the past.

What is “known” cannot free you, for it is the past that keeps you in chains. Your salvation is unknown to the past and is only available when every vestige of past learning is gone.

M: Okay fine, but shouldn’t there be some changed state of mind to measure progress. You say I’m progressing, but all I can do is take your word for it. I have had no experience indicative of change.

J: Actually, you have progressed farther than you know. Yet, if there has been no “experience indicative of change” then clearly you have set the terms for knowing. Progress is assured, in fact, it is certain, but not on your terms. Until you are ready to accept God’s terms, you will continue to be disappointed with your own.

My role is not to teach God’s terms, as they require no learning, only to teach that yours will not save you.

M: It just seems there is entirely too much placed on my shoulders. I don’t have the power to realize these things you expect. I’m just an normal person with a normal life. I have no ability to change my world.

J: There is nothing "normal" about your world and, at times, you understand this with crystal clarity. You cannot realize any latent “ability” until you realize the world IS yours and YOU are your world.

To realize that the world is YOURS requires that you no longer fear parts of it. I expect that you will abolish all fear because I know it is certain and that is why I expect it will be done. I have NO doubt of your abilities because we are the same.

M: I have no control over the world.

J: Nor should you have reason for control “over the world.” Simply recognize you are cause and nothing more is needed. Change is in the cause and not the effects.

Yet, to recognize this requires you first understand that God would have no cause to create a world for which you would need to seek control, simply to alleviate the suffering caused from lack of control. However, in believing that God did NOT cause YOU, you will continue to seize control from a world that you believe did cause you. The world is not your maker. You made the world and you are cause for everything you experience.

God is only cause for YOU and not what you made in denial of this cause.

M: But if I made it, why is it I don’t know I’m the maker?

J: Because you are so deeply invested in “you,” which is also of your making. Imagine for a moment that you are cause of your world. What would this say about “you”? What would this say about your weakness, inadequacy and insignificance, for these are inherent to the “self” you have made?

The moment you realize what God knows and would have you remember, is the very moment that that the “self” must cease to exist as YOU know it. The moment it becomes aware of its strength, it could not continue to exist and would immediately expire of the weight of its own weakness. Be prepared for this, for it is coming once again.

This is why you feel you must deny you are cause of your world, simply because you fear your strength which is caused by God. Your strength is simply beyond the ego's conception and therefore, the ego would not have you even presume such impudence.

But I would have you learn only the truth, as I am not influenced by an ego’s need for ignorance. You made the ego, yet what you have made has fooled you into believing that it made you. If you continue to rely on what you made to make you “happy,” it will ultimately deceive you into joining it's death.

I ask instead, that you join me in life.

God's Will Excludes Nothing and Controls Nothing

Friday, May 22, 2009 at 11:21AM

M: You keep saying that everything must be included. What does that mean?

J: God’s wholeness includes all and what God creates is whole and all-inclusive. Therefore, your "world" must also be whole and all-inclusive, but not as you now perceive it.

M: So why don’t I feel included in that “wholeness”?

J: When you wish to “feel included,” you WILL, because you ARE. Your WILL to be included is the deciding factor and always has been.

M: So all I need do is feel it and it will be true for me?

J: It is true for you whether you “feel it” or not. Therefore, it would benefit you to “feel” included and thus experience God's Truth.

M: But how can you prove to me that I’m included?

J: What proof would you accept?

M: Some kind of sign. Something that would compel me to feel included; that there would be no choice.

J: There have been signs, unmistakable in their clarity, yet, you mistook them for what you thought they were, instead of what they were in Truth.

To compel is to exclude. A controlled WILL cannot know Truth and must suffer through that ignorance. You feel controlled by a world outside your mind, making that world beyond all but the most rudimentary choices in the desire for control. Because your “world” is not aligned with your will, you feel compelled to conform against your will and thus, experience the oppression of a controlled will. You cannot be compelled to align with God's Truth as that would exclude you from it. However, you can desire a return to your natural state and, in fact, you do.

To align your WILL with the Truth is to experience absolutely no stress whatsoever and all your “doing” is done with a joyful ease and lightness, because nothing NEED be done. When “doing” becomes unnecessary, BEING is extended and doing becomes very fruitful. To extend your Being is to experience love because this is the natural state of an aligned WILL and the only way Love can be experienced. Thus, Love is guaranteed no matter what you DO and, subsequently, you WILL only do that which allows for Love.

M: There are certain actions and things I must do. I have little control over this fact.

J: You have made that a fact of mind, but this could never be a fact of WILL. Your will is always in correspondence with Truth and that is “inalienable” and cannot be severed. Your will must always be aligned with God's Truth. However, an egoically controlled mind can mistake Truth for something else, causing you to become confused and experience the stress of misalignment. This is why you feel so deeply constrained by what you do, since you believe that what you do matters.

It does not.

However, this mistake can be easily rectified. Your world is a vague and obscure mistake derived solely from your unwillingness to align with God's Truth and instead align with what you believe is “true.” This must be false, because belief has nothing to do with Truth. WILL to be free and you are free. This does not involve the body at all.

Mistakes can be corrected so that your will is realigned with Truth, but first, you must know that a mistake has been made. You are coming ever closer to this realization. Yet, there is still resistance because it inevitably means the end of every purpose you have decided necessary for yourself. Recognizing that this need not be, is a fearful thought. Nevertheless, we must address this fear if we are to take the next step. In fact, we must abolish it completely.

There is no end to you, although there must be an end to what you think you ARE and this will mark the beginning of truth and the end of all mistakes.

Even now, you are beginning to inhale from the gentle breeze of Truth, because this is the closest you have yet come to understanding.

There will come a time when your learning will coalesce and come together in an understanding that is free from the suffocating ignorance of a mistaken ego and a confused self.

Trust that this is certain and breathe deeply.

Your Facts are Fiction

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 04:46PM

M: I’m beginning to see little point to this and wonder if I should discontinue It’s all a bit too complicated for me. How can I learn what I can’t understand?

J: If you have turned away from understanding, it is because you demand learning be on your terms. What I teach invalidates your terms and asks that you do the same. I am not asking that you give up the world. I only ask that you give up YOUR world, for it no longer serves you and you have long since given up serving IT. There is a better "world" for you to SEE if you believe it can be seen as I see it.

M: What do you mean my world? Is my world different from the world others experience? We all experience primarily the same world.

J: If you mean that you “primarily” experience the setting and rising of the sun, then yes, you share agreement on that as fact. But you do not share YOUR experience.

Bodies share only “approximations” of Truth, which cannot be Truth because Truth is never approximate, but total and complete. This is the loneliness you experience and, until experience can be shared, loneliness is a "fact." An experience of loneliness cannot be shared because it demands separation and YOU have determined that a fact of life.

M: I think I share a great deal with the people I love.

J: You share facts that only veil the Truth. Yes, you could share a “great deal” if only you could love without "facts." But in your world “love” is also a fact and therefore, must always be fictional. Your facts are fiction because nothing your world “agrees” to believe as "truth," is True. Truth requires NO agreement to be True.

You agree on very little and rely on the past to determine what beliefs are "true." I say to you, if every mind could agree on just one “fact,” that fact would instantly be Truth. Yet, if every mind could agree completely, facts would disappear forever and Truth is ALL you would experience. Agree on this "fact" alone, for it alone can save you.

You may share “a great deal” with those you have chosen to “love,” but is your love a condition of sharing? If this is so, then you share nothing with no one and “thinking” it is so, does not make it so. However, it does makes it another “fact” and in your world, love conditioned on suffering is a fact.

M: So sharing my experience will save others?

J: Are they not a part of your experience? I continually ask that you exclude nothing.

M: I can’t share anything with people I don’t know.

J: What would that “knowing” entail? Their names and addresses? The body’s appearance? The job they hold or the car they drive? Would you require they have the same values and worship the same God? Seeing differences denies sharing and so, you must see differently in order TO share.

Are you certain that you even “know” those you have chosen to “love”? Strangers do not love and, if in every moment you do not love what you SEE, then you have made it stranger to you. Love is Truth and there could never be a moment Truth is not True. However, you can believe otherwise, but this does not in anyway remove Truth, it simply permits you to believe YOU are removed.

Yet, this cannot be.

YOUR World is Meaningless

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 07:40PM

M: How can I function in the world that, as you say, I will come to believe is meaningless?

J: I do not teach that “the world” is meaningless. I teach that YOUR world is meaningless and YOU have made it so. However, you can change what you made simply because you are its maker. However, this entails that you believe you are maker and not God. God does not create the meaningless, because God created you. Look deeply upon what you SEE and know that the meaningless is your decision.

M: So now I’m the creator of the universe!

J: You make meaning and the only meaning that the universe holds for you is that you were born IN IT and must die IN IT. However, your "behaviors" demonstrate how you desperately seek to make this insanity meaningful.

Nevertheless, as its maker, you have a great deal of latitude in reestablishing what your “universe” can mean for you. But first, you must understand your role as maker. Until then, you will only fail to grasp the significance of what you have made and that your “universe” can mean much more.

M: So what about other people, what role do they have in making all this?

J: They have no role in your experience, but what you allow.

M: So you’re saying that I “made” other people?

J: You demand the world expose its “truth” to you, but you refuse to see the parts that do not conform to your specifications and thus, you will always miss the whole. Truth is of ONE fabric that you have torn into threads in the ego's demand for meaning in the meaningless.

However, the ego is resistant to the logic of Truth because it is hypnotized by the logic of your “world.” Nevertheless, in answer to your question, you did NOT make “other people” but this is only because there is no “you.”

Yet, you do experience “other people” in direct correlation with an experience of “you.” As I teach there is no division between you and your “world” and this is precisely why there can be no “you.” By the logic of your world, this makes absolutely no sense, but by God’s logic it is Absolute Truth.

M: If there is no me, then who are you teaching?

J: I teach you.

M: But I thought you said there is no me!?

J: I teach the ONE who believes it is a separate “self,’ experiencing “other people” in a “world” of great suffering and I teach that this NEED NOT BE. Thus, you are the ONE that I teach.

M: When you say “ONE,” do you mean everybody?

J: These “words” are for you, yet, the Truth cannot be claimed by an “individual.” Notice your reference to “every body.” You will no doubt consider yourself separate and apart from your world as long as this differentiation continues. You will need to see differently and this means beyond your belief in what the body’s “eyes” give meaning to. It is not “there.”

M: When I look at someone, the first thing I see is a body. If I could not see bodies, how could I know that I’m interacting with someone? I can’t just pretend that minds have no bodies.

J: I ask that you see beyond physical sight not that you deny what you “see.” It is the body that you give meaning to and this has always obstructed SEEING Truth. You gave the body meaning and without the meaning you demand, you would SEE nothing.

I do not ask that you “pretend” the body does not exist, I only ask that you change its meaning. When it means less, “interacting with someone” will mean more than you can currently comprehend as an ego totally reliant on the faculties of bodily sensation

Truth has no form, but is infinitely full of content. An ego reliant on bodily sight sees only forms and so, content is limited and life is experienced as barren. Minds have no bodies, although they think they do and thus, could just as easily think differently. In your need to analyze form, you miss the content. The content is YOU and in your ever changing world, that is a constant.

M: So how do I see beyond what my eyes show me? How do I, as you say, “see through your eyes”?

J: You SEE only what you expect to see based on ancient meaning applied before seeing. This is why you SEE bodies and NOT souls.

I give meaning to what eyes cannot SEE and therefore, your infinite soul is ALL I SEE. Love cannot be extended to what eyes SEE, because sight conditions what can be seen and this is why bodies obstruct Truth. I SEE no conditions and therefore, I SEE it perfectly as it was meant to be SEEN.

You are weary of what you see. Therefore, when you SEE anything, think with me and I will not fail to correct your “sight.” This is not difficult for the faithful, because “blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

Your Range of Suffering

Friday, March 20, 2009 at 07:13PM

M: You say that you could show me a “better world.” Unfortunately, things are pretty bad right now and it seems the entire world is gradually getting worse. A lot of people are going to be suffering soon.

J: You expect some degree of suffering each day and, therefore, you have made yourself quite tolerant of it. However, because suffering is accepted as an absolute and indisputable “fact,” you seek to manage the “degrees” of your suffering. This is because in your world suffering has a “range” of magnitude, from the least to the maximal.

The problem with this range is that you see maximal suffering as “death,” even though you have no experience of death. Nevertheless, for you death is the ultimate suffering. Yet, surprisingly you also can consider it as an end to suffering. Such confusion means that there are times when you believe it should be prayed for and times when it must be avoided at all costs. You would do well to examine these compromises since they make up your world.

Obviously, redefining death would collapse your range of suffering and this is why I demonstrated that you cannot die.

M: If I lose my job and my house, my family and I would suffer. Death has nothing to do with this fact.

J: On the contrary, your belief in death is why you suffer, although this belief in NO way impedes the Truth, but it does make it seem as though the Truth is absent from your 'world." Death is feared more than anything your mind can comprehend and all suffering is rated by your proximity to that end.

If you continue to ally your "self" with parts of your world you will continue to suffer, since Truth is whole and unavailable in part.

M: Yea, well, I can only look after my small part of the planet. I don’t want anybody to suffer, but I have no control over other people. I am barely making ends meet now.

J: You are not a part of Creation, but the whole of it. It does not exist without you, nor you without it. As I have stated many times before, you have the power to end suffering once and forever.

M: Sorry, but I can’t accept this idea that there is no “world” and that I simply made it all up. That’s called “solipsism,” which means that my 'self' is the only thing that can be known.

J: I teach that you have NO "self" and therefore, what you "know" is nothing. What “philosophy” in your world teaches this? What philosophy teaches that you know nothing, because this is exactly what I teach?

However, to further your learning, the “nothing” you insist on “knowing” must be used effectively in order to know what is beyond it. Otherwise, you will continue to rely on what you “know” and thus learn nothing and this would result in your continued reliance on your range of suffering. When, in fact, all you suffer from is the strange belief that you do NOT know Truth.

M: What is that some kind of riddle?

J: I merely teach that your “world’ is nothing. Believe in this and end all suffering, because your suffering is a "riddle" you cannot solve by your "self."

M: That’s nonsense! How can I possibly believe that the world is nothing? So I should just forget about all the pain and injustice in the world and act as if it’s nothing?

J: If you choose not to “forget,” then you will apply meaning where none exists and nothing will rule your mind. This application of meaning is based on past learning and since nothing you have learned is “knowledge,” suffering is all you know. The question is, when will you know the end of suffering?

Knowledge saves, but what you “know” simply confirms and insures your suffering unto death.

There is meaning to be found, but you will not discover it based on what you know because what you know attests to nothing. The “nonsense” is in your mind and therefore, so is the senseless ‘world” you experience. Nothing in your world makes sense and all your attempts to make it so merely delay Truth and perpetuate suffering.

You have had moments in which the meaningless of your “world” was experienced with vivid clarity. Yet, fear will always obstruct your realizing this fact completely. Therefore, YOU rejected the experience completely and renewed your search for salvation from the meaningless that YOU made real. Truth is ALL OR NOTHING and there can be NO “range.” However, the suffering you experience, based on the fear you have learned, has a full range of magnitude and threfore cannot be True.

Yet, keep in mind that it was just such an experience that brought us together, which proves that what you "know" can be used effectively, but you must learn how. This attests to what we can do together once your allegiance is corrected.

M: But what about everyone else?

J: All will join in your purpose of abolishing fear to end suffering, for it is theirs also. If you continue to consider these ideas from an ego, you will become impatient with what cannot be understood. Only a separate frame of reference could ask such a question and this means the answer will be unacceptable and, hence, rejected.

Nevertheless, in answer to your question, there are no “others,” only prefect unity within God.
