Surrender Your Future And Be Free of the Past

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:50:00 +0000

M: Some days all I want to do is drink myself into a stupor. I don’t want to participate in anything and I just want to be numb to it all. I often feel very tired of everything.

J: Indeed, your world IS “very tired.” It has NOT, and it NEVER will, sustain you. Why seek anything more from it?

M: So I should just end it all?

J: Your world fails to sustain simply because it teaches that everything must “end” and beyond ALL else, this is what your FUTURE holds. Seeking to free yourself from the world’s suffering, through what the world teaches, merely prolongs your victimization and does not “end it.” I teach that you have no end. Learn this and be SUSTAINED. Death is nonsense, because it makes NO sense to God.

It would be better if you “end” reliance on what your world teaches, by realizing it has nothing more to offer you.

M: So I should end my reliance on breathing, since living in this world requires that?

J: Not if doing so will result in your END. And this you DO believe.

Your egocentric mind is ingenious in its levels of “knowledge,” which only manufacture greater degrees of ignorance. Your world teaches that you must start from the bottom and work up to ever more complex “knowledge.” It demands that you first understand that you are a body that MUST eventually end. All subsequent “knowledge” is contingent on knowing this as FACT.

I teach that you start from the top and work downward. You must first understand that you are NOT a body and, therefore, you do not end. All subsequent learning is fundamental to this being understood as FACT and all complexity is easily dissolved as meaningless. Your complex levels of “knowledge” teach only chaos. What I teach is TRUTH. It has no levels of complexity.

Until it is understood, you will continue to remain victim to a chaotic world that demands your body suffer as a result of its eventual “end.” You are NOT tired of your world, but you are very tired of the suffering you believe your world demands of you.

M: So if I don’t die, what do I then become after the body ends.

J: You become nothing more than what you are NOW, which is everything. However, you KNOW nothing of NOW, because you have hidden yourself in a body and so, believe in limits. NOW has no limitations subject to past or future. Yet, if you believe in limits, then all KNOWLEDGE must be limited by your own choice. The decision is yours.

M: I’m so sick of this “present moment” and “letting go of the past” bullshit. Sorry, but I heard it all before.

J: Which demonstrates your investment in the what came “before.” Yet, it is not the past that troubles you, but the FUTURE. Your investment in a future has chained you to the past. Both MUST only deny what is available NOW.

M: So I should have nothing to look forward to?

J: Everything that you could look “forward to” only moves you further backward, because you know nothing except the past.

M: So I should have no goals?

J: What goals could you have that do NOT rely on a future? All knowledge in your world is contingent on what was “known” before and this you call “progress.” You believe this self-evident and in “time” it MUST be. But only IF you are in time. IF you are NOT, then nothing YOU have learned can save you. Therefore, your progress takes you NOWHERE and you have NOTHING.

M: But, we have made progress. We’re a technologically advanced civilization!

J: Relying on “progress” demands you be victim to TIME. Do you NOT find it interesting that the objects you perceive as “advanced,” have done nothing to diminish your fear of DEATH. If this is the case, then obviously, “technology” will NOT end your suffering, and may even destroy you, but only because YOU believe in death. This you fail to see in your fixation with objects. Yet, in your fixation, this is what you suffer through.

Do NOT rely on what the mind APPEARS to perceive, but rely only on the mind itself. This is where we meet and this is where our joint effort will change perception for ALL eternity. Of yourself, you will only fixate on the objects you invent to keep you locked in time through your fear of death.

Leave the future to me and be free of your past.

Hiding in a World of Bodies

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:25:00 +0000

M: I sense that I’m not asking the right questions.

J: You are careful that little of your ‘self’ is revealed. You are still victim to your world and your world is based entirely on guilt and punishment. You wish to remain innocent and so you are cautious to avoid incriminating information. You even seek to keep it from me. Nevertheless, I KNOW you without it and, therefore, it simply does NOT matter. It has never mattered. I know your innocence is infinite. You have yet to experience this.

M: I know I’m not innocent. I just don’t feel that airing my dirty laundry would be helpful.

J: The world IS your “dirty laundry.” Yet, this does not alter your INNOCENCE in any way. Innocence transcends ALL your delusions of guilt. However, since it matters to you, you MUST indict yourself guilty and suffer from the punishment guilt demands. In your world, “sin” must always suffer punishment and until you are completely innocent, you will DEMAND punishment in some form. Look at your world and SEE the many forms of punishment your world suffers through. This is your choice NOT God’s. God does NOT create from guilt, but you demand it.

I know you are innocent, because I KNOW God. YOU have yet to learn.

M: So I should reveal my past baggage to the world?

J: Do NOT be deluded into believing that anything in your world is NOW. The world you look at IS your past and its ONLY purpose is to demonstrate to you what you believe “true.” To believe in your world is to sacrifice the TRUTH of who you ARE, by substituting what you could never BE.

You were NOT Created to be contained in a past that chains you to a future. You have conjured it ALL up out of NOTHING to hide from what you ARE… which is EVERYTHING. You made the world a place to hide yourself from Truth. KNOW it as nothing more than that and finally stand revealed to yourself.

M: What would I see?

J: Nothing imaginable through concepts made to veil TRUTH and teach guilt instead. Do not use the mind to hide in your secret world of bodies. God does NOT know of it.

What you fear to reveal to yourself only serves to hide what you ARE in Truth. Look closely at the “dark shadows” that your world reveals to you and that you condemn the world for making “real.” There is nothing there. The world makes nothing. Know that you are CAUSE and brush it aside as you would an annoying mosquito. You have the God given power to awaken from your dream and KNOW the truth. The world cannot affect you when you realize you are cause. So, brush it all away and realize nothing is there.

M: I don’t cause wars.

J: Make no mistake, a mind NOT in perfect peace MUST be at war. It is futile to remove yourself from what the world shows you in order to maintain an innocence the world will never allow you, simply because you have NOT given it that function. The guilty of your world are YOU and if you believe in guilt, then it will be “there” before your SEE it. Look for it no more and you will NOT see it. THINK it gone…and it is. It was never there to begin with.

M: So all I need do is not see guilt in the world in order to dissolve guilt in myself?

J: Although it seems others merit condemnation, it is always YOU who stand condemned. Their guilt is YOURS or you would NOT see it. Do not become fixated on the innumerable forms through which the guilty are punished. You have constructed a complex labyrinth of dark alleys and passageways to hide IN. You believe yourself so well hidden that NOT even God could find YOU. Yet, God SEES past ALL that you have made to what you were Created to BE. God SEES only infinite innocence. This is what YOU were Created FROM.

Think away guilt from your world and SEE yourself as God sees YOU.

Naming Delusions

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:25:00 +0000

M: People stress me out. I often feel I would much rather be alone.

J: In your attempts to control delusions you experience fear, which you then seek to control by calling “stress.” You demand all variables of your “reality” conform to your exact specifications through the "names" you apply. When this is not your experience, you become discouraged and depressed. Yet, this too, you have named and experience accordingly.

This is particularly acute in your need to control other “people.” To fear your world and then seek relief by separating yourself from it through being “alone,” merely confirms that fear is valid. Because of FEAR, your world has NO validity whatsoever and is an asylum for the insane. Yet, still, they ALL have names and this seems to be all you require

Your world has NO validity because you have denied it such in your need to control it. The more you attempt to control delusion, the more REAL it appears.

This is why your world appears to be crumbling into chaos, as delusions control YOU.

Attempting to control delusions must always fail, simply because your insanity is always one OF control. Delusions do not require control, but disbelief. ALL attempts at control merely magnifies belief that you have NO control and thus, demands ever more fear.

You impose upon your “self.” There is NO other.

M: Well, I don’t experience others as myself, so that statement makes no sense to me.

J: It must remain nonsense until you experience the incredible freedom of alleviating ALL need to control. Seeking to control delusion must always escape your grasp, because nothing is “there.” As a result, discouragement and depression are always what control teaches. Your world is very discouraged indeed.

M: So you’re saying all my stress comes from attempting to control other people?

J: What other reason could there be?

M: So if I stopped trying to control other people, I would no longer experience stress?

J: Stress is fear and fear is the reason for control, which is NO reason at all. Fear is a component of “memory” and only what you remember, you fear. The present need not be remembered. Therefore, your fear of others is always associated to a past that does NOT exist and that could NOT ever exist. Yet, you persist in imposing it upon every experience you conceive. “They” are there not to teach a need for fear, but to teach an end to fear. But you must perceive them as having that purpose or you will impose what you “remember” and, thereby, limit eternity to a memory.

You are always NOW. God has NO memory of you, which informs of your nature contrary to what you are NOW. Your nature is infinite and that experience is NOW. Perceive “other people” without memory and perceive the truth that is completely absent ALL fear. To be free of fear replaces “stress” with joy, because that is your nature as God conceived you.

M: How can I possibly know others without memory? How would I know who they are? How would I know their names? This makes NO sense.

J: Just as your identity is complete nonsense, so are the identities you project, because in each projection there is only YOU. There is NO “other.” Yet, only in the present can this be understood, because it is experienced THERE.

You have NO need of “names” for God KNOWS it all as absolutely PERFECT and your names merely deny this, but cannot negate it. Your “names” demand imperfection and this is what you judge and damn as guilty, because you have so damned your ‘self.’ You have allowed yourself only the power to judge, but judgment denies you the God given right to limitless CREATION. And what beauty you would KNOW if only “memory” did not determine the limits you impose upon NOW.

What you “name” you seek to control, while in the naming of delusions, you have given up control. God did not “name” you and because of that, you have NO limits. Apply a name to your “self” and you deny God’s gift.

M: But how could anyone know me without my name?

J: My "name" provides a history that has saved no one, simply because I have NO past. It was this that saved me. Yet, YOU have built churches to honor a history that only continues to curse YOU.

Christ is NOW. When the "name" is remembered, the TRUTH is denied. Deny me NO longer, because I AM YOU. I am every mind that denies a name.

Forget the names so that you may KNOW them by their fruits. This is the only way you will recognize your own. YOUR extension is always to YOU.

Freedom is the End of Self-Reliance

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:14:00 +0000

M: I’m victim to the body. It’s disruptions, diseases, disorders, addictions, etc. How am I supposed to ever be free of the body under these circumstances?

J: Learn what I teach and be free of ALL “circumstances.”

M: That’s your advice?? Just listen to you? I don’t expect that’s going to have any effect on what my body demands.

J: Your body demands nothing, but what you EXPECT. However, you believe I expect a great deal from you and this is why your allegiance remains with the body. Join with me and the body can NO longer make demands, simply because your expectations no longer rely on what the body tells you.

M: So what must I do to prove belief in you?

J: Nothing.

M: Nothing? What does that mean?

J: Belief in TRUTH requires you “do” nothing. In fact, the more I am WITH you, the less you will feel compelled to DO anything at all, which makes “doing” everything an entirely unique experience. Truth takes NO account of what you have DONE or what you will DO. You fail to understand truth, because you believe you must DO something to KNOW it. This is NOT God’s requirement, but yours.

Nevertheless, since you still EXPECT to “do” something, it may be advantageous to place emphasis on what need NOT be done because, as you are beginning to see, all of your “doing” has amounted to little more than making YOU victim of YOUR world.

However, I recognize that NOT “doing” something is very difficult for you, since it equates to inactivity and lack of productivity. Yet, you will soon see that ALL the products of your actions that you believe of value have been meaningless, because the motivation was delusional.

The source of motivation determines the product of ALL actions. Motivation derived from delusion does NOT enact change but promotes repetition and this repetition is the world you experience.

M: So I should allow you to guide me in everything I do?

J: This is what you have asked for, but continue to reject. Nevertheless, when you do accept, you will then NO longer equate your successes with failure and your failures with success since, of your ‘self,’ you could never KNOW.

M: Unfortunately, life sometimes comes fast and furious and there may not be time to check in with you.

J: Indeed, it does require effort for you to LISTEN, since you have become accustomed to HEARING only the sick cackling of a delusional world. Nevertheless, effort must be made to listen until the decision becomes natural. When the choice to listen becomes the only choice that leads to peace, you will wonder why you had NOT made it long ago.

M: I’ve had to rely on myself for my entire life. I’ve had to learn from experience. You want me to just throw all that away?

J: If self-reliance has brought you consistent peace and an end to ALL your suffering, then to “just throw all that away” would be foolish. However, if this has not been the product of self-reliance, then why continue? Recognize that when you are NOT at peace, the world is NOT at peace, since there is nothing IN you that is not IN the world, regardless of how you seek to divide it into pieces and cast it away so that you can pick and choose what you wish.

Nothing need be thrown away, as this will only demand sacrifice and, what you feel forced to “throw away,” you will only value MORE. I simply teach that what you value has made you inadequate and impotent and if you value the body over the mind, then clearly you value inadequacy and impotence.

Your mind is so deeply enmeshed with the body, that if you could experience just one thought completely free of the body’s needs, you would experience a joy of unimaginable intensity.

I will guide you to that ONE thought, but you will need to fully understand what you value and why. Otherwise, sacrifice will keep you chained to a body that you EXPECT to suffer.

Uncontained and Unlimited Content

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:21:00 +0000

M: I don’t know how to help these people. What do you suggest?

J: Allow them to help YOU.

M: Unfortunately, that’s not what they come for.

J: You have no idea what they come for, nor do “they,” and when you THINK you do, you are always mistaken. Fortunately, mistakes can be corrected when they are finally SEEN for what they are.

M: So how do I allow them to help me?

J: Look for your ‘self’ in them.

M: How would that help?

J: It will aid you in seeing them as beyond a body, which will aid you in recognizing your ‘self’ as more than you THINK. This is what they come for, because this is what you seek from them and so, this is what they seek from YOU.

M: How could I communicate with someone who is NOT a body?

J: On the contrary, you have yet to communicate WITH bodies, although you believe otherwise. This is because bodies cannot communicate. True communication is formless and to communicate through form communicates nothing. Of course, you do believe you “talk” to one another. Yet, if you remain deluded then clearly, nothing of value has been communicated.

M: But how would I know who I’m talking to if there wasn’t a body to reference and to speak to?

J: There is no “who,” but YOU.

M: That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! So I should speak to people as if they were me?

J: Other than the bodies which hide them, what makes you believe “they” are NOT you? How have you determined that “you” are NOT Them?

M: They obviously think and do things differently from me.

J: Certainly, bodies can seem to do all manner of things within the limits expected and this does “appear” to demonstrate differences. Yet, when I ask that you see your ‘self,’ I pay no heed to the body.

Forms, by nature, must change. Yet, content is infinite and therefore, never changes. No matter “who” you choose to perceive as different in form, the content is always equal. This could be experienced if “who” was NO longer considered.

“They” feel what you feel, think the thoughts you think, suffer as you suffer, fear what you fear, hurt as you hurt and desire happiness the same as YOU. Time may seem to break it up into exclusive moments, each one appearing separate from another, but “time” is delusional and their delusions are yours. They perceive the world you perceive and experience the same chains for which you seek to be free. They wish for release as do YOU, because THEY are YOU.

Release them!

In a million languages YOU speak to me. Yet, you do NOT listen, because the eyes and ears demand forms be true.

Only on the level of content can freedom be experienced, because only “there” is perfect equality and NO differences. Forms change and die, but there can be NO change to content, which is infinitely eternal. This is why you cannot die.

It is content that I teach and your body has no role in that, except in attaining obsolescence.

Content does NOT come from you, while the forms you imagine “real” are solely of your mind. In your world, because forms are different, it seems there are different fears and so you believe there are different ways to love. Forms demand fear, because differences are perceived. God’s LOVE knows NO such conditions.

M: A ten-year-old boy cannot have the same feelings and thoughts as a sixty-year-old man.

J: In relation to forms, this must be true, because you cannot relate to bodies without judging differences. Only content exists as perfectly equal and, therefore, TRUE. If a sixty year old man SEES a ten yr old boy, certainly he can only experience inequality if he judges by form. If he could experience beyond what the body judges by SEEING, he would experience a content of perfect equality with NO difference whatsoever. This is what you are HERE to experience, relationships SEEN only through content. SEE your ‘self’ in another and experience the perfect equality of that content.

M: That seems impossible!

J: Only when blinded by form. Forms multiply differences through complexity. The body’s only purpose is to act as a reference point for which to look beyond to what is completely UNCONTAINED and UNLIMITED. It serves no other purpose but that.

M: It’s just that people seem so completely different from me. What about beliefs? People believe differently than me.

J: Again, in relation to form, they must. Beyond the different thoughts of fear and your numerous conditions of love, the truth resides. Beliefs taught by the world are fixated on forms and are contained and limited by form. These beliefs must be different simply because you believe in different forms that do different things and, so it seems, must think different thoughts. They must BE different because they are NOT based in TRUTH and if they are not based in truth they thrive on INEQUALITY and cannot BE at all.

Truth is the same in all situations and in all circumstances and that is its one and only condition. That which does NOT meet those conditions is simply NOT true. Nevertheless, truth is the content of every mind, contrary the forms that serve to deny this.

Seek your truth in them, because you will NEVER find it alone. This is what they come for and what you seek from them. Anything else is victim to form and only seeks to hides content, because IT is feared.

There is Only One Mind and They Await Your Return

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:25:00 +0000

M: You say that I choose suffering. Why would I choose to suffer?

J: You see value in that choice, because you believe it defines you.

M: But I want to be at peace. I want to be happy.

J: Yet, you look to the world to make you “happy.” A world NOT at peace can give NO happiness, particularly when the purpose you give it is suffering. You then make compromises with suffering in order to extract some residue of what you refer to as “happiness.”

What God gives requires NO compromises for that gift to be experienced. If you see value in the world, then you value suffering in denial of God’s gift. However, just as you perceive suffering in your world, you could as easily perceive God’s gift, which is how you will know it has always been yours.

M: I’ve always had a real problem with this “God” thing. Never really was much of a believer.

J: The problem you HAVE is with the world, not God. God has NO “problem” with your world, only because God has NO problem with YOU. God knows only you and nothing of your delusions. If God does NOT believe IN it, how could it BE?

Fortunately, if the world cannot BE, then neither can suffering. A choice to suffer is a choice to believe that what has NO effect is actually a cause. You may deny this by accusing God of creating your “world,” but this belief merely prolongs suffering by your own decision, not God’s.

M: I agree the world is a place of suffering. But, I have an experience of the world and, whether it is an illusion or not, I’m willing to consider it because I experience it. However, I have no experience of God and so that seems beyond my consideration.

J: You have no experience of God because you understand God as taught by the world. If you do not love the world, how can you love its “gods”? The “gods” of the world demand suffering and sacrifice, but only because you believe this is the world’s purpose. You cannot experience both what is true AND what is false. Either you experience Truth or you experience what you make “true.” You cannot experience your world AND God. One must always cancel out the other from your mind.

M: So what other option is there? How can I experience God?

J: By believing in me.

M: But I do believe in you.

J: We have not talked for some time and this is because you doubt my validity. This dialogue does not conform to the reality you invent and so is easily negated by a mind invested in that “world.”

M: Yea, I figured that I just made this all up.

J: You HAVE made it all up.

M: What?? Then what good is that?

J: What you have yet to understand is that there is a part of YOU that realizes what I KNOW. This makes us equal. The difference is that I KNOW of us as equal and you have yet to learn.

M: I knew it! I’m fuckin’ crazy after all. So I’m just talking to myself?

J: And the entire world is a reflection of that conversation and IT too, is undeniably “crazy.” However, if you do not like what you experience, then you may wish to change the subject matter. I would suggest we continue to discuss God and from that conversation experience is assured, because belief will be strengthened.

M: So if I continue to talk to myself about God, I will experience God?

J: And change the world. But you must talk TO me. To believe in me is merely to correspond with that PART of you that is ALL of me, although I experience it as ALL OF YOU and you do NOT. I experience God, as will you when that part is KNOWN by you as I know it. The difference is that I KNOW nothing else, while you believe in many things that make no sense.

M: But I’m talking to you now and I don’t experience God.

J: You have yet to believe IN me.

M: But I thought you said I just made you up.

J: Just as you made up the world. However, if the world is NOT there, then I never existed. Nevertheless, you believe it is “there” and that I was once a part of it. Therefore, as you made the world, so have you made me. There are many parts to what is IN your mind, but YOU are the whole of it.

M: But you said there is a “part” of me that I don’t correspond with, but that you do.

J: It is the only part that is TRUE because you did NOT make it up. Nothing you have made is real and that includes your “self.” However, you do have need of me, just as you have need of a ‘world.’ Yet, your world was made to keep you IN, while you made me to guide you OUT. This is why you must believe IN me, so that you will come to believe IN yourself as containing the whole of what I AM.

You are the Christ Mind as is every mind. There are no PARTS to TRUTH

M: How can every mind be the Christ Mind, if my mind is the only mind. I thought you said the world was my invention?

J: Everything you see and hear, every “sensation” you experience, are you conceive to insure your ‘world” as real so that your “self” remains intact and this part we have referred to as EGO.

Yet, neither the EGO or what it perceives is in any way truth. Therefore, it is simply NOT there.

M: But are there other minds?

J: The paradox that separate “individual” minds can never understand is that there is only ONE MIND and THEY await your return.

Down Your Dark Alleys

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:16:00 +0000

M: Why do I have so many difficulties with other people?

J: You seek out threat and what you seek, you find, because you placed it there TO be found. A fear induced vigilance consumes your mind, although you consider it a “normal” part of living. Yet, it was from fear that the ego was formed and made to seem “normal.”

M: I’m not aware of seeking for threats, although certainly one should avoid dark alleys.

J: The ego is a seemingly impenetrable system of defensive fortifications constructed entirely from fear. You need not be aware of the extent of this system, which is intricately complex, just the fear from which it was built. Without fear it cannot stand. Without fear, the world would not be as you now SEE it… a labyrinth of “dark alleys” from which it seems impossible to find your way home. This is what you find because this is what you expect to SEE, which demands the need to protect your ‘self’ from what SEEING makes REAL.

Surrender your fear and defenses dissolve and you will SEE that there was never anything “there” requiring protection. There are no “dark alleys” and there never were.

M: I admit that there are some people I may be cautious with, but I don’t fear those I love.

J: “Love” in your world is a contractual obligation that can be dissolved at anytime if the terms of sacrifice are not followed. This is cause for your greatest fear, because guilt is the chief weapon of attack. You believe in your wounds and so your vigilance is paramount to protect against future attack. These are the “dark alleys” that you fear. They exist nowhere but in your mind, because you made them up.

The Love of God requires NO sacrifice and demands NO guilt and if you could look beyond your defenses, you would SEE this as true.

M: But I’m not aware that I’m being defensive.

J: You are not “aware” of oxygen, yet this does not interrupt your breathing. The ego does not require your awareness, just your denial. I am the answer to all denial in the search for Truth.

The egocentric mind is so tightly bound and constricted that the slightest reprimand or disparaging look, could easily plunge you into darkness. The world is blinded by guilt and this is what you SEE everywhere you LOOK. You have experienced this guilt with those you have chosen to “love” and, although the ego demands denial, your walls have been securely reinforced as a result. Yet, how can love be extended from behind walls? Clearly it cannot.

M: So how do I stop being defensive?

J: Simply believe that there is nothing to fear and, in that moment, it will be realized. You have NO freedom until you do, because it is only fear that keeps you in chains. The world you experience was made from fear and your brief moments of “happiness” only reinforce the fear which is always there before the “happy” event and must always come after. The ego’s fear is rigorously consistent, while your brief moments of pleasure are fleeting wisps of smoke disappearing on the horizon, never to be seen again. You have called on me to show you the way to a joy beyond measure and this I do completely without fear, since fear is unknown to me. Nevertheless, you have yet to come from behind the walls of fear that YOU made to protect from NOTHING. There is nothing there to harm you. Let down your defenses and be free.

M: I want to and I try to do the things you teach, but it just seems impossible. I keep screwing it up.

J: Success is guaranteed!

M: But when?

J: Not a moment more. Choose the moment.

M: So it’s up to me to end my fear?

J: You were not Created from fear, which means that there can be NO fear in you, other than what you demand. Demand it no longer, as it serves NO purpose.

M: I have no idea what it would be like to be totally without fear. To not worry, get angry or depressed occasionally. To be at peace in every moment. It seems impossible.

J: There is little I can say to relieve your doubt, other than to ask that you walk with me and I will take you to the place where no fear can be found, because your joy will give you no reason to LOOK for it. But you must give up ALL other maps, because nothing in the world can offer directions. The world is lost in fear and if you are “there,” you are lost with it. Yet, if only one SEES entirely without fear, all must SEE.

M: You say that I should “simply believe that there is nothing to fear and, in that moment, it will be “realized.” So I should no longer wear my seatbelts or look both ways before crossing the street?

J: There are NO exceptions to what God made REAL. However, in a world made from fear, exceptions are necessary. The mind that makes fear real, must protect the body from death, because fear also made the body. But if you are NOT a body, what is there to fear? If all “experience” is of the mind, how can fear rule the mind if it can be easily banished forever with just a thought of perfect peace? The body was made from fear and if fear is gone, so too must ALL its remnants vanish.

You live solely in the mind of God, whose thought gave you an eternal life that cannot be altered by ANYTHING you choose to think in denial of this FACT. Fear is the denial that changes NOTHING because it makes NOTHING. Your world was made to deny TRUTH.

Believe it no longer.

Freedom Comes From No longer Having To Choose

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:20:00 +0000

M: Sometimes I feel I’m in some sort of self-imposed hell. What am I not doing right?

J: Belief that something must be “done” defines your “hell.”

M: Okay, so what should I be thinking then?

J: That nothing need be “done.” The joy of absolute freedom requires nothing from you, simply because there is nothing you could ever DO to have it. It is what you choose to DO that results in bondage. You choose a desired future by making present choices to mitigate choices made in the past. YOU are only going in circles.
I ask that you let me choose for you. Yet, in order for you to trust in me, you must no longer trust in yourself to choose correctly and this is what you struggle against.

M: How do I know I’m hearing your choices and not just myself?

J: The answer will bring you joy, no matter what you are “doing.”

M: Okay, so I have to go to work right now and I don’t want to. What’s your answer to that?

J: If you ask a question, but give your own answer, you will not hear my answer. Recognize that the ego will always answer first.

M: Fine. Why don’t I want to go to work?

J: Because you believe there is a better “choice.”

M: There is. I would be much happier not going to work.

J: Are you “happy” now?

M: Well, no…but only because I have to go to work. I’m always much happier when work is done for the day.

J: Yet, as you say, this lasts only until you must consider going to work again.

M: Yea, I would be much happier not working at all.

J: Therefore, on the days you do not work, are you then “happy” until the time you must again consider work?

M: Usually, unless something happens on that day to disrupt my happiness, like if I have to do something that I don’t want to do.

J: Therefore, your happiness is never based on one specific variable, such as “work,” but on many variables. Your happiness is determined by choosing the correct action and avoiding the incorrect action. Yet, your “self-imposed hell” should be enough to demonstrate that you do not know the difference. Nevertheless, no matter how many times you fail, you persist in believing that you will one day choose “happiness.”

M: It does seem pretty disparaging when you put it that way, but there doesn’t seem to be any other way of being happy than by choosing things that make me happy.

J: Happiness based solely in delusion cannot have any lasting value, since it is contingent on choosing between different parts of the delusion, all reflecting the impression of varying levels and degrees of happiness, but all equally failing to endure with any consistency. The world you see cannot make you happy, because the world you see is based entirely on your own inconsistent “happiness “and ALL your choices do nothing but maintain that delusional inconsistency.

M: So what can I do about that?

J: Again, there is nothing you can DO.

M: I should just give up all attempts at trying to be happy?

J: Based on your choices, what other choice do you have? In fact, that is the only choice you must make.

M: I have no idea how to even make such a choice. How do I choose not to choose?

J: There is nothing you must DO to be happy. However, there is also nothing you must NOT DO in order to be happy.

In a world of delusion, seeking to achieve happiness by choosing not to DO, is as futile as making a choice to DO. Both must be delusional choices because both choose from the delusions the world offers, which are nothing more than a reflection of your inner inconsistency. Your choices merely take you in chaotic circles. I simply bring you back to your ‘self,’ because the origin of delusion always rests with the mind that thinks it.

M: Then how do I break out of this circle?

J: Do not seek happiness from a delusional world.

M: Then how can I ever be happy?

J: In the understanding that your happiness is not contingent on what the world offers or on what it does NOT offer. In realizing the FACT that nothing you do, or do not do, can offer you happiness. Freedom comes from the choice of no longer having to choose and, thus, what you do, or do not do, cannot victimize you in anyway.

The choice is not of doing something or doing nothing. When choice does not matter, the right choices are made naturally, because you have surrendered your NEED to choose. Until then, allow me to choose for you, as I am free of ALL delusion. My choices are always perfect because I have NO need to choose.

Allow the ego to answer first, because the ego can only answer from the past. Then wait for the correct choice, which is not victim to time and is applicable to ALL variable delusions. You will know the correct choice was made when all fear has vanished.

In the absence of fear, joy must naturally fill that void.

The Delusion of Wasted Time

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:54:00 +0000

M: There are so many things that must get done that I don’t want to do. How do I deal with that?

J: There is nothing you NEED do.

M: Maybe that’s true in your world, but here there’s alot I have to do and I have no choice in some things.

J: My world is your “world,” only you “choose” otherwise. Yet, it is certain a better choice will be made and when you do, you will immediately note an absence of conflict in ALL that you DO.

Yet, functions must compete for significance in your “world.” This leads to a sense of exhaustion from the constant stress of judging differences in order to know what should and should not be DONE. Absolute peace involves none of this.

You have no idea what should or should not be done and therefore everything you do is equally important in being of no importance whatsoever. If all is delusional, how can some parts be more important than other parts? Until you surrender your competing functions, you will fail to learn Truth

M: So loving others is less important than paying bills?

J: In your world, this must be true, since “love” is a word you made up in order to give greater importance to what you “do.” God’s Love, which none of your concepts could symbolize, requires no action and nothing need be done. From NOTHING you were Created. You could also create, but you have no idea what love is and so, your “love” demands the body conform to specific actions and behaviors. Therefore, in your world “paying bills” is just as important as “loving” others.

This makes both equally meaningless.

However, you deny this and so, sometimes “love” is important, while other times “money” demands your attention. This arrangement, and many others like it, are obviously absurd, but you find comfort in denying it as source of ALL your suffering.

M: I just feel like I’m wasting time. So many useless tasks and projects that I’ve no interest in doing. But you’re saying it doesn’t matter what I do?

J: A world invented from delusion can be nothing more than delusional, although your egocentric mind compromises with delusions to make them meaningful. Give up your fixation on time and consider the infinite, because that is what YOU are.

You may define the insane as delusional, but they pay you no mind in their fixation on the “meaningful.” This is exactly how you have always ignored me, except when I fit your delusions. Surrender your fixations and allow learning to occur and, make no mistake, every moment you suffer is a moment you are fixated on making your delusions “meaningful.” What I teach is freedom from delusion so that you can know God’s meaning and be free of the "hell" you make REAL

M: So what I do is not a waste of time?

J: You believe “time waits for no man” yet time is an experience you invented and therefore, it will wait for YOU. Although you pride yourself on your clocks and calendars, time has no extrinsic value and is an experience within YOU. Quite simply, when you are no longer deluded about who and what you are, time will no longer be of value. To believe that time can be wasted is to become fixated on a delusion you invented that has nothing to do with God’s Creation simply because God did not create time….you did. Your fixation on “time” merely delays the inevitable.

Yet, rest assured, God will wait for you, BECAUSE time does NOT exist.

Nothing is Uncertain…

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:11:00 +0000

M: I can’t seem to stay focused on all this. It’s too hard.

J: Yet, you keep coming back. It is very hard for you to trust in me, because you fail to trust in yourself and this creates a great deal of tension between us.

Either you will follow my recommendations or you will follow your own. You must choose one or the other and eventually, you will choose Truth and when you do, tension will naturally dissolve. This choice is certain and that's why it has been made.

M: Sorry, too many other things to take care of in my life.

J: Because you resist truth, there will always be “too many other things to take care of.”

M: So I should no longer do the things that are important?

J: Truth cares little for what you “do,’ but is always IN everything you do and when you are certain of this, what you do will always be True for YOU as well.

M: Uh…I’ve got a family, work, kids to take care of.

J: Why seek to make Truth absent to specific circumstances? What you suffer from is a need to differentiate between levels of importance.

Truth has no levels and NO differences, because it includes NO opposing contrasts. There is Truth in everything you do, if only you will allow me to show you. Otherwise, of yourself, you will only continue to seek out differences and miss the certainty of Truth.

M: What is this “truth” you keep talking about and why do I resist?

J: All experiences are True. Yet, because you require Truth be only what you determine, you resist by judging Truth absent in some circumstances. Truth does not conform to your expectations and therefore, is never absent.

M: What? I thought it was all illusion.

J: Every experience is True. However, your question demonstrates that you have determined otherwise and will subsequently continue to differentiate between true and false experiences.

M: But why can’t I understand that now? Why is it so difficult to understand?

J: Truth is easy to understand and does not require learning. However, although your lack of understanding does NOT changes Truth, YOU require it be learned and so, YOU have yet to understand it and this is why "all is illusion."

M: But why do I suffer from failure to understand?

J: Truth is certain. If it were not, it could not be true. Certainty places all the ego’s plans in jeopardy, because if ALL is certain then what you do makes NO difference TO that certainty. This causes fear for an ego requiring the world remain uncertain, because its experience of itself is manufactured entirely from uncertainty. An ego convinced of certainty could NOT exist. Your world is a product of uncertainty, but because truth is certain, an uncertain world could NOT exist.

Make no mistake, everything you DO is as certain as what is NOT done. Every action, every thought, every feeling, every mood that seems to spontaneously lift you or press down upon you, is as certain as this discussion we have now.

M: But I have no certainty. I could be killed in a car accident on my way home from work today. I can’t predict the future and that’s the only way I could be certain of anything.

J: An uncertain world can be seen through Truth, which would naturally dissolve all uncertainty and doubt. Actually, YOU CAN predict the future and YOU HAVE. Yet, you have predicted it to be uncertain and so IT IS.

God does not create uncertainty, but you believe you can and so YOU DO. Obviously, however, what you create is NOT True and what is NOT True could never have been Created.

You could experience yourself “killed in a car accident.” But this could never be True, although you could believe it is, simply because you believe in the products of uncertainty.

M: Wait a minute, first you say all my experiences are true and then you say that my experiences from uncertainty are not true. Which is it?

J: You have NO experiences from uncertainty, although you believe you do. However, such belief does not make it True. You believe you can create from uncertainty, but this is impossible, since uncertainty does NOT exist. Every experience you have is True, yet, only BECAUSE uncertainty does NOT exist.

Behind all your uncertainty and doubt is the certainty of God inherent to your Being and fortunately, nothing is free of that and, therefore, everything is free. Engage your world from certainty and naturally reformulate your perception completely free of all fear.

M: So how do I use this in my life?

J: It is your uncertainty that demands you control the conditions of uncertainty. Engage your world from certainty and be free of the need to control the very conditions you impose. Everything is certain and you need control nothing.

You believe “free-will” allows you more control and more choices. This misinterpretation of free-will has led to centuries of suffering. Only when control is no longer needed is your WILL free. Yet, as long as you feel you must control the conditions that arise from uncertainty and doubt, you will believe your are victim to the world. This is simply not TRUE and I recommend you conduct your life as if it were false.

Choosing Not To Choose

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:03:00 +0000

M: You keep saying I have no idea what love is. So when are you going to teach me what love is?

J: Love is not an “idea” and when you are prepared to learn beyond “ideas,” love will be known.

M: I’m prepared now!

J: You also have no idea of “now,” because “now” is also not an idea. However, LOVE is only available NOW and both are ONE experience, separate from anything you could conceivably consider, since all you consider are “ideas.”

M: So it’s my fault you can’t teach me.

J: NOW does not see “fault,” nor does LOVE project or accept blame. However, if you do, then you have no awareness of NOW and, therefore, LOVE must be absent. Love is always NOW, because it is NOT conditioned on "ideas" from the past.

M: I think I love my family very much, regardless of what you teach.

J: In your world, love involves a process of “thinking” and the “decision” to love is either made, or not made, and behavior adjusts accordingly. In fact, a decision once made is easily revoked and never do you consider this absurd; never do you ask, “how can this be love.” It is not… nor can it ever involve any decision you could make.

M: So I should not choose to love?

J: Choice is a condition of your making and God knows nothing of choice. YOU were NOT created to “choose,” because choice is unnatural to Creation. How could that Created with no need to choose… make “right” or “wrong” choices?

You cannot choose to love and if you do, it is relative to the belief in an ego that chooses past on what is learned in the past. There is nothing to choose. However, as long as you live by “choices,” you can choose to cease making choices that obstruct love. In fact, this is all you can do and making such choices is the reason you have called on me.

M: What choices obstruct from love?

J: Choices based on the past can only obstruct love, because love is not conditioned on time. Love conditioned on the past is NOT love and this is why your right choices are often “wrong,” while wrong choices can eventually become “right.” Of yourself, you have no means of knowing, since everything you “know” is from the past and not one “idea” do you have that is wholly free of the past.

M: So the only way I can love is to be in the “now.”

J: An “I” cannot love, simply because an “I” is derived exclusively from the past and love is not a condition of time. If an “I” finds itself NOW, it could NOT be an “I,” but something completely incomprehensible to an “I”… and entirely incomprehensible to “you” at this “time.”

M: So any attempt by me to love another is destined to fail, so why even bother? What’s the point of even learning, since it’s “I” you teach.

J: I do not “teach” love to you. However, I do teach what obstructs love and “you” can learn that if you so choose.

M: So maybe I should stop trying to love others and become a hermit, at least until I learn everything that obstructs love.

J: Such an “idea” would undoubtedly obstruct love and currently emphasizes your complete lack of understanding.

A mind obsessed with the past cannot avoid choosing to “attack” and a mind that considers attack will see it everywhere and live in defense of what IT makes “real.” A mind in preparation for attack is entirely unprepared to realize love…NOW.

This is why you cannot love, but because your thinking conforms to the past, you can “think” you do and because of this, love often takes the form of attack.

You may choose to “become a hermit” and seek to attack the world by hiding from it, but you are the cause and, therefore, effects never leave you.

Although you “think” you can hide from its power to attack you, the world has NO powers that you have not chosen to give it.

It is time you choose NOT to choose.

"Real" is a Concept of your Invention

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:27:00 +0000

M: So everything I see is not real?

J: “Real” is a concept of your invention that is present nowhere in Creation. Therefore, everything you see IS certainly “real” otherwise, you would not SEE it. I merely teach that what you make “real” is not True and therefore, it is only “real” for you. Nothing I have ever taught can be “seen” to be learned. Nevertheless, once it is known it will be “seen” everywhere, because it IS everywhere.

M: What do you mean everything I see, I make real? I see it because it’s real. If it wasn’t real I wouldn’t see it.

J: Reality for you is entirely contingent on bodily sensation. Without sensing an embodied ‘self,’ you do not believe YOU could be “real,” simply because the body represents an external world for which to contrast an internal ‘self’ against.

You do believe “you” are both “inside” and “outside” and it is this distinction that defines “hell.”

It is an outside “world” that limits you, because you believe you were created from IT. Nevertheless, you were Created without limits or conditions of any kind, but find it necessary to limit your ‘self’ through an "outside" world. All limits you make real and that is what you experience, because you believe nothing can be experienced separate from what can be sensed as “real.”

Truth is certain, simply because it is what YOU are. However, sensation will have absolutely nothing to do with that experience until Truth is learned and then sensation will adjust accordingly, since it will have no reason to resist any longer.

M: So nothing you teach can be found in the world?

J: Truth “can be found in the world” because when you learn it, you will SEE nothing else, no matter what direction you “look.” This is contingent on “learning,” but only because you require it be learned. Truth need not be learned, since it IS, whether you learn it or NOT. Understand this and learning is complete.

However, if you see it nowhere you look, then what you SEE is meaningless because, although you call it “real” it is not in any way True.

M: So how can I perceive the world as meaningless when I still must respond to it as if it were real?

J: You do not believe your dreams are “real” and, in judging that what you “perceive” is nothing more than a dream, you have no need of fear in judging that you could easily brush it all away with a wave of your hand. Yet, why do that, when it is yours to make as you choose with no limits to what CAN be experienced.

This IS the "Final Judgment."

The concept of “real” limits you and, thus, determines the conditions of your suffering. Nevertheless, it is a concept of your invention and can be easily brushed aside if you so choose.

M: So I should respond to the world as if it were a dream?

J: To respond “as if” is a poor attempt to deny the reality you demand by calling it “real.” It is REAL to you and to deny this only results in the misunderstanding that calls reality an “illusion,” but continues to advise that you seek rewards from what is not there. How can what is NOT there, reward you?

Creation extends Truth, but you make reality instead and, therefore, your reward is suffering because what believes Truth can be absent, can only suffer from an absence that is NOT True. Only Truth rewards, simply by nature of what IT IS and it is undeniably YOU.

Your Facts are Fiction

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:20:00 +0000

M: I’m beginning to see little point to this and wonder if I should discontinue, since 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 understanding be on your terms. What I teach invalidates your terms completely and asks that you learn 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 experiences, only facts.

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."

The experience of loneliness cannot be shared, because it demands separation and YOU have determined that a fact of living.

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

J: You share "facts" that only serve to 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, because of that must always be fictional. Your facts are fiction because nothing your world “agrees” to believe as "truth," has ever been True, because Truth requires NO agreement to be True.

In fact, you agree on very little and rely on the past to determine what beliefs are "true." I say to you now, if every mind could agree on just one “fact” completely free of the past, 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 conditional "love" cannot be shared and love that is NOT shared by all is NOT Love. Therefore, you share nothing with no one and “thinking” it is so may make it "real" in your world but there is much you have made "real" that is NOT TRUE and never will be. However, it does make 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? Bodily appearances? 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 simply cannot be.

Release What You No Longer Want

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:43:00 +0000

M: You say I need to give up to you that which I don’t want. There are a lot of things that I don’t want. I don’t want to be poor, I don’t want to be sick and I don’t want to die, just to name a few.

J: Then why have you not given them to me? Why do you still retain what you do not want?

M: But I don’t really know exactly what it is that I’m giving you.

J: This is because you fear sacrifice and are, therefore, very careful about what you might lose. I teach that there is nothing you CAN lose. Release what you do not want and experience gain beyond all imagining.

M: But I don’t know how to “release” it. How do I give you my not wanting to be sick or poor?

J: Trust in what I teach and give up what you have learned, because what you have learned is solely based in fear. You have learned to be poor and sick, because this is not natural to Creation, but is completely natural to fear.

Death is in the world you imagine, yet, it has no basis in truth and truth is beyond your choices, since you did not Create it, but are free to experience it at will.

M: So I just trust in you and all my fears simply disappear? If I just give you the things I do not want, then I’ll be free of them? In other words, I will not be poor, I will never get sick and I will never die?

J: Trust in me with no reservations and completely without doubt and nothing you do not want can remain. Yet, make even one tiny compromise with Truth and you will keep what you have always kept and have what you have always had.

If you do not release what you do not want, you will continue to believe the world gives it to you and you will hate the world for what you receive. Your hatred only serves to deny that you give it to yourself and hate your 'self' for what you give.

M: I give myself poverty, sickness and death?

J: Confusion creates chaos. That which does not know itself must be confused and will inevitably experience chaos. The ego makes compromises with truth in order to protect what it believes and it believes in chaos. If chaos does not exist then neither can the ego.

M: I thought it was other people who were supposed to save me.

J: Salvation is complete, although you have yet to see it and until you do, you will not believe.

See salvation in them and YOU are saved. Continue to see poverty, sickness and death and you will believe it is real, and this will make it “real” for all minds.

M: What am I supposed to see?

J: Christ Vision is incomprehensible to a mind that relies exclusively on “sight.” You need simply give me what you do not want and you will see everything as it was Created, rather than how you imagined it.

M: What if I want certain things that are not good for me?

J: Why would you want what would harm you?

M: I want more money. I don’t see how that would harm me?

J: I ask only for what you do not want, but only when you are ready to release it to me. What you now experience is what you give yourself. If you experience a loss, or lack, of “money,” and this is what you do not want, then release it to me in the recognition that you no longer have need of it.

You will know you have released it when it no longer disturbs your peace. You have very little understanding of what you want, because you have no understanding of who you are. But you do understand what you do not want because you believe you suffer from it. Give me all that you suffer from and suffer no more.

In releasing to me what you do not want, you will understand who you are. When you understand who you are, you will realize that there is nothing that you want, because there is nothing that you need. When you understand that there is nothing that you need, there will be nothing more to learn because you have learned that you are complete.

M: Why don’t I just give you my whole experience of suffering?

J: In that release, you would realize you are complete. But, the ego that you rely on is not interested in your completion or wholeness, because it “sees” only parts. Therefore, give to me only the parts you do not want. Your ego will only allow gradual learning, but each “time” learning progresses, time is shortened until eventually you will no longer have need of time.

Controlling Consciousness

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:45:00 +0000

M: I feel controlled by the world, but you seem to say that I have control. How do I control the world?

J: By seeing no need for control.

M: But if I see no need for control, doesn’t that continue to make me victim to the world’s control?

J: Your experience of a world is indivisible from that ‘world.’ Yet, you insist it is external to you and beyond only the most rudimentary control. There is no division between an “inner” and “outer” world, yet you have made them into two distinct experiences. If you divide experience into exclusive parts, those parts must conflict with and exclude one another, because you experience them as opposite and thus, opposing. Conflict assumes a need to control parts and denies the experience is whole.

You will always feel controlled by that which is apart from you and so you feel compelled to impose control upon the parts, as opposed to the whole experience itself. This is why you will always feel controlled and alienated from your world.

What is whole requires no control, because it is unified as ONE. Seeing no need for control reunites you with your whole experience by returning it to its source. That which realizes itself as source, cannot be controlled by that which has no need to be controlled, because the parts no longer conflict.

M: So how do I make my experience of the world whole, in the recognition that I am the source of all my experiences?

J: Refuse to control it, in the recognition that there is no need for control.

M: Are you saying that I should not move out of the way if a bus is about to hit me?

J: Your goal of death has determined the many ways for which to experience death. If that was not your goal, you would not experience it and, make no mistake; your goals have determined your experiences long before the experience. Therefore, as long as death is your goal, your experiences will conform. See yourself as the source of this goal and redefine it.

M: That makes no sense. Death is not my goal. I don’t want to die!

J: You proclaim this with confidence. However, it is true that, of all your goals and grand plans, death is the only one you can be certain of, while all other goals are subordinate. Discard that one goal and all experiences must change accordingly, including “a bus is about to hit me.”

M: So my goal of death creates an experience of dying?

J: Creation is Truth. You fear Creation and so, you “create” nothing. As a result, although you do make your delusions “real,” you cannot make them true. “Real” is a concept you devised to evade Truth through delusional goals that are meaningless.

The goal of death makes dying “real.” Yet, since it is delusional, it cannot be True. Your goal of death makes delusional experiences “real” for you. Fortunately, if what you make “real” is not True, then obviously you have nothing to fear.

M: So how do I “create”?

J: Stop making delusions "real."

M: So how do I know what is real or not real?

J: Information provided by the body is always delusional, simply because the body is not True. However, we cannot deny that it is “real,” as that would be disingenuous, but only because you have made it “real.” What you make is finite and conforms to your goal of death, while Creation is infinite and conforms to God’s goal of eternity.What I teach is true, but you do NOT experience it as "real" and, therefore, truth is unknown to you.

M: You say that I have a goal of death. But I do not consciously choose to die.

J: The principle of death is very simple and is defined by loss. Need emerges from loss, because if nothing could be lost, nothing would be needed, because you would have everything. You believe death as the loss of everything, even though I teach there is nothing you are without. Therefore, the most important principle of life is that you live and not die and this, alone, is why death rules your life. Adhere no longer to the goal of death and learn to live.

Everything within consciousness is chosen, including the surrender of choice. You were not created to be victim to consciousness, because you ARE consciousness. Victimization is your choice.

God's Creation Does Not "Exist"

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:58:00 +0000

M: Did Jesus Christ exist?

J: You believe that “existence” is an extension in "time" that appears to take up "space." I teach that if time and space are inventions of your mind, nothing "exists" but what you require be "real." Make no mistake; you are the inventor that denies his own inventions.

You have determined the criteria for "existence" and you believe that what does NOT meet your criteria cannot "exist" and, therefore, what does NOT exist cannot be known. This is why you believe God eludes you, while all the time standing right before your eyes. Your criteria blinds you, yet you refuse to surrender what you make "true.

“Jesus Christ” is an invention you required and what you require will always meet your criteria for “existence," otherwise, you would NOT "perceive" it. Nevertheless, the criteria for perception is yours and NOT Gods. Truth has NO criteria.

M: But God gave Jesus Christ the task of spreading God’s message?

J: God does not assign "tasks," as if the performance of actions will lead to your salvation. Nevertheless, there is only one message, which is that you are free of all limits except what you impose upon your ‘self." I teach that you need do nothing at all, because anything you could do will only impose upon Truth. God does not impose upon Creation, because God is Creation, as is everything Created. There is NO division.

God would NOT choose “individuals” to teach what is known, since Truth is NOT available to parts of the whole, but only the whole. However, you choose parts of the whole and, thus, they always “exist” based on your criteria. You require learning through forms and, thus, forms "appear" as needed, but only because you think you need them. I teach that you need nothing.

M: So you’re saying Jesus Christ never existed? He was never crucified and did not resurrect from the dead?

J: I teach that “you” do not exist. Yet, you continue to crucify your "self," because you believe what “exists” must die. But, how can this be, if “you” do not exist?

“Existence” is a limit you idolize, simply because you have no faith in Creation. Existence must always conflict with its opposite, non-existence, and this is the tension that keeps you rigidly fixated on your “self” for fear it will one day cease to exist. Creation has NO opposite, thus, nothing conflicts and there is no tension. Existence requires birth and what is born must die. Creation is everlasting and does not conform to your time and space coordinates, because there is neither beginning nor end.

M: So I should no longer think of myself as “existing”?

J: “You” have no choice, as you now know your “self.” Fortunately, Creation is not a choice and, when it is known, “you” will cease to "exist" as you now know your "self" and lack of choice will be a joy unimaginable to “you” now.

God does not create identities in order to distinguish between parts of the whole, because to distinguish between parts is cause for fear and fear only causes conflict and conflict is what “you” experience through "existence." You are much more than this, only you cannot cease thinking that you are less and so, your thoughts limit you. Therefore, I ask that you think with me.

M: You say that “God would not choose individuals to teach what is known to all.” Well then, where does that leave you, since it appears you are teaching me.

J: And I say to you now, what has been said before: not one mind will be free until all are free as One Mind.

How separate minds choose to learn is inconsequential to the fact that it will be learned and that is certain, because Creation is certain, as are you. Nothing “exists” outside Creation and if you wish to deny this then you choose nothing instead. You are becoming very weary of that choice and so is the 'world.'

My teaching you, is your choice and this is because, contrary to your belief in your inadequacy and littleness, you will always teach yourself. Otherwise, how else would you learn?

You See What You Value

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:29:00 +0000

TO “perceive” is to look for and find. Your rejection and acceptance gives it value because if you did not in some way value it, it could not be SEEN. You teach the world what to value based on your belief that the world teaches YOU and it is this circularity that ultimately keeps you victim to yourself. If you value weakness, you must SEE it in the world and If you value fear, then the world must give you what you expect to experience. Therefore, if correction is to occur, it must happen IN your experience and not IN the world.

M: I became angry at my daughter yesterday because she had the hot water running and wasn’t using it. I then felt guilty for the anger, but justified as well.

J: Confusion is expected in the mind that denies responsibility, but justifies condemnation. To understand that you do this to yourself is to accept responsibility for your world. Make no mistake, such a shift in perception changes all things perceived. Until you understand this, you will continue to be confused by shifting emotions and passing thoughts and the world can only reflect this back to you. Seek clarity through responsibility for what you value.

M: I merely told my daughter not to run the hot water as it costs money and money is very limited now.

J: The only limitation that exists is within your mind and nowhere else. If you rely on “perception” to teach you Truth, you will be continuously disappointed because perception was not designed to SEE Truth and thus, cannot possibly “look” for IT. However, perception does SEE and look for “value” but only because it is your wish that this be so.

M: Yea, well that may be true on the level of reality you exist, were everything is Pollyanna perfect. However, the world I live in is clearly imperfect and requires a value system in order to make sense of it. If I had an abundance of money then of course I might not be concerned with saving it. But the reality is that I have bills that need to be paid and limited funds for which to pay them.

J: There is only ONE reality and I assure you, you are within IT always. However, to live as if this were not known will just as assuredly result in your perceiving that you are not “there.” Clearly, if you are not aware of ONE reality, you must then be aware of many and this results in confusion and confusion is fearful to the mind that demands to KNOW.

In order to minimize your confusion, you have constructed a "system of values" in order to prove to yourself that you are what you value yourself to be. God existed prior to your values, but it was your values that you believe ended God and so you live by your values and NOT Truth. When you no longer adhere to what you value, you will know who you are within that ONE reality because that ONE reality is YOU. This is the consistency you seek, for God has never changed.

M: How about giving me some advice I can use.

J: If you continue to determine “usefulness” based on your “value system,” then you will continue to reject what I teach and "history" proves this to be the case.

M: So you’re saying that I have to give up all my values and pretty much everything I believe in, to know myself in that ONE reality.

J: I teach that no sacrifice need be made and, in fact, sacrifice is exactly what you do “value” and your world reflects this. All your religions teach sacrifice as the path to God. In one way or another, to some degree and on some level, something must be given up in order that something be RECEIVED. In your world receiving love is defined by this very process and therefore, love is NOT experienced because sacrifice is a negation and you cannot possibly affirm love through negation. In many ways, degrees and levels you think your sacrifices have given you love, only to LOSE it again requiring further sacrifices be made. Is it any wonder you are confused, because if you value sacrifice, you do not value love.

I only ask that you clearly see WHAT you value and that you truly understand WHY you value it. This is a very simple procedure that you are often loathe to perform. This is because it causes you great fear to see in this way and again, the world reflects that fear in your repetitive compulsion to SEE it as it now IS. It will remain as you see it, until you choose to see it differently. You fear that if you see it differently, you may no longer want what the world values. I teach that when you no longer want what the world values, you will value the world. This is really the only option available for world peace and I recommend that you utilize this option since, as you are aware, you have exhausted all other options.

M: So I should not value money? Problem with that is that my family and I would be living on the street. In fact, if I did NOT value money I would probably be family-less. Once again, this Peter Pan advice is not applicable to the world I experience. I’m not experiencing your “ONE reality” but the reality I live in.

J: You live nowhere but in the mind and that is where "reality” resides and when you recognize that fact, you will experience a world of consistent peace because you will value only that. The mind provides nothing but what you allow for based on what you believe “valuable.” If you wish to experience “money” as necessary then so it must be. If you wish to experience yourself as having money then you will, however, if you wish to experience lack of money that too is in your power. Your experience is directly correlated with what you desire to SEE based on what you value SEEING. When you value peace above all value, this MUST be your experience.

M: But I don’t “wish” to experience lack of money, yet that is the experience nonetheless. I can’t deny reality through wishful thinking.

J: “Wishful thinking” is what made it "real." Yet, you strenuously reject that proposition.

M: But why would I desire or wish not to have money?

J: If you believe you are unworthy of God and the gift of consistent joy, what then would you be worthy of?

The problem, as I have frequently presented, is that you have appraised yourself unworthy OF even yourself and in that experience, limitation is born and given to the "world."

It is not your Source that is limited. But if you continue to believe YOU are that Source, you will not experience what is yours by nature of your Creation. It is certainly clear to understand why you must hate that which gave you BEING, since you so deeply despise yourself and, if you perceive yourself as despicable, you must believe, "how could God NOT see the same"? Thus, your only alternative is to hate that which hates you and the world teaches this. This is NOT conscious hate and you rarely even consider it. But this indifference born of hate is IN you and, make no mistake, what is IN you, must be IN your world

Joy is the only experience applicable to BEING and only you can limit that inexhaustible supply. This you do by simply “wishing” it away. However, what can never leave you must still be there, but if you continue to be indifferent to its presence, you have banished it from your sight. If you no longer SEE it, then you will substitute other "values" instead and this will be what you SEE. In determining value simply note what you SEE. This will attest to what you believe "valuable."

M: So I just have to “wish” for money and it will appear?

J: I wished for more than that and when I believed, it appeared to me, but only when I learned to value YOU above all else. However, if you wish for that which you believe impossible, it cannot appear, but only because you do not expect the impossible, for how could you value what is impossible? Such is the infinite power of belief.

This has always been the essence of my message. Nothing is beyond you and you are without nothing, because nothing is without YOU and everything is within. However, if you have substituted other "values" in place of this, then it is easy to understand why this would NOT be your experience.

The power of your mind is beyond comparison with any idea you can currently comprehend. Yet, I now ask that you stretch beyond the comprehension of what you believe "valuable" in order to finally understand your power. If you continue to value weakness as testament to the world you SEE, the world can only reflect what you give it and therefore, expect it should reflect.. Nevertheless, you will give it everything when everything is what you value and through SEEING that, is your power known to you.

The Present

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:03:00 +0000

M: You keep using the concept of the “present” as something I should seek to be in. This is one of the many platitudes repeated in spiritual circles. How can I be in the present?

J: You are always “present,” yet believe you are "past." Nothing has happened, nothing will occur, and your fantasies to the contrary do not change this fact. Yet as long as you expect change there is much occurring and happening around you that seems beyond your ability to control. Your Being does not change. However, in your seeking to become, change is perceived as happening.

M: Why would I create a reality beyond my control?

J: You do not “create” as long as you believe you are NOT an extension of your Source. Extension IS Creation. You have the capacity to extend, but only in realizing that capacity. You believe you do NOT know this and therefore you do not experience your capacity. Until such time, you will misinterpret your function and this misinterpretation is what you SEE everywhere you look.

If God believed in littleness and weakness, you would not BE. The fact that you believe in littleness and weakness means you do not believe in God nor yourself, even though it is clearly a fact. Therefore the powers vested in you OF God are not available to that which chooses not to be aware OF those powers. How could it be otherwise?

In your ignorance of God and your Being, you do not Create, for how could you? However, what you do is “conceive." To conceive is to simply to think and, thus what you think is merely what the mind presents to you based on your belief as to what MUST be presented.

What you believe is what you will demand be true and you do most certainly believe that an external "world" is true. In your mind this is beyond question, yet in my mind it is beyond belief.

There is no mystery to this equation and even your sciences are teaching you this, although they fear the obvious conclusion. In fact, they will never teach you Truth only because you have set the limits to what can be learned and if you had not set such limits you would know . When you know, teaching is no longer necessary.

You have done this quite simply because you fear "revelation." However, you do allow for "glimpses" of the Truth periodically. Yet, in no way is Truth "revealed" since periodic learning addresses only parts. Nevertheless, this recognition of the parts only adds to your fear and keeps you distant from learning of the whole. All religion and spiritual practices allow for these partial glimpses, but never is the whole known, yet It is the whole that you seek.

Fear is your only limitation to knowing the whole and the only aspect of you that keeps you distant from this Truth. Nevertheless, you continue to deny this fact and demand that there must be some profound secret in the knowing of Creation and the joining with Heaven. You demand unrelenting sacrifice and suffering in order to reveal this “secret.” There is NO secret to God and ALL your sacrifice and suffering has been wasted.

When I learned how easy and effortless was the “knowing” of Creation, I was both overjoyed and appalled that such exquisite knowledge was always with me and that I had taken so long to see it. You too will be overjoyed and appalled, but take heart that your being appalled will last but the wisp of an instant, as your joy will lift you above the limitations you had “thought” were real.

Until then, your reality will continue as it must and, as long as you believe it must, you will SEE it no other way.

M: This is certainly not the gospel as taught by religions.

J: Be careful in your judgments of ignorance since ignorance is of you and born in you. Remember that those who live by belief will be loathe to surrender belief and will die for it, simply because they believe in death. This is the only belief that needs be re-evaluated. This is the power inherent in belief. You may rail at the ignorance of religion, as did I. Yet keep in mind that the idols of religion are no different then the idols worshiped outside of your concepts of God.

Both worship nothing and will take you nowhere and, if you fail to know your best interests, "nowhere" will continue to interest you.

All belief systems idolize and revere some part of a “reality” and justify the preservation of that partial system through the worship of the part. You may worship concepts of money or concepts of God, but in the end they must be seen as concepts not even mimicking even the tiniest aspects of the truth that you fail to see when you see ONLY parts.

You do have truth in your world since your Being is cause of God and, on some level, the effect must always touch whatever you see, only because YOU see it. Yet, this touching is mostly imperceptible since you rely on the body's sight which is greatly invested in death. Death is the ultimate distraction and as long as “self” is defined by body, death must be reflected in your perceptions, keeping you victim to what the body informs your mind must SEE.

In the present , death is SEEN as a misinterpretation of your function resulting in the replacement of sight with vision . Vision leaves out nothing and informs the mind of what sight will never SEE. Present vision will relieve you of the sight of past suffering and is the Truth you seek. I will teach you vision since as long as sight continues, you will continue to learn what you have always taught yourself and suffer from that learning.

God Did NOT Cause Your World

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:51:00 +0000

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.

YOUR World is Meaningless

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 03:41:00 +0000

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 “everybody.” 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.”

Resisting What is Known

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:20:00 +0000

M: All this stuff seems to cause me more suffering than peace. It just seems too difficult to understand.

J: You do not suffer from lack of understanding, but from resisting what you know to be True. Recall that the lessons I teach are from your mind and everything I provide is known to you and must have always been known for you to learn of it in this way. It is your desire to be taught what you know, simply because you resist knowing. “Learning” is a form of resistance and when resistance is alleviated, ALL is immediately available.

What we now engage in is quite revolutionary, if you would only believe it True. Until then you will simply resist.

M: Why would I resist what is true?

J: Because you fear the realization that everything you base your life on is patently false, for if what I teach is True, such a conclusion cannot be avoided. Nevertheless, what you have based your life on is nothing more than resisting what you know to be True.

M: So I live my life simply to resist Truth?

J: Believing that Truth is absent is absurd. Yet you live each and every day as if this were an absolute fact. Therefore, suffering is simply a state of resisting what you know to be True. This is obviously insane, but not to the ego. To the ego it is “life”!

Your very Being is contingent on Truth, yet the ego is contingent on resistance and neither can share with each other.

M: This means that to live the Truth, I cannot rely on the ego.

J: The ego cannot know Truth, but it can act against what it senses may completely overpower it, if it does not remain vigilant in resisting. Therefore, the less your ego is relied on, the less resistance is experienced and resistance is always experienced by varying degrees of suffering. Not to resist is a blissful experience because it proclaims the certainty of KNOWLEDGE. To “know” is a wonderful thing when what you know is True. To suffer is merely to believe the false is True and this is what your “world” teaches.

M: I guess in a lot of ways I fear other people, because this seems to be what I resist.

J: This is because the Truth is “there” and you will ONLY find yourself through it. But ONLY as you LOOK for me. This makes little sense to you now, but in time, understanding will grow. You fear only your “self” and this is the fear you look for and find, in “others.” Look for me instead!

M: Why would I fear myself?

J: Clearly, your moods and actions are NOT indicative of love. Therefore, logic dictates that fear is the only other alternative. Yet, you have invented a catalog of emotions and feelings to measure your proximity to “happiness.” I merely ask that you use them to measure your distance from fear. There is NO “happiness” in hell, but you can know the perfect peace that erases all signs of hell from your mind.

You have spent your life desperately seeking “happiness,” yet, never looking back to see what it is that causes such desperation. I ask that you now look back at what you seek to replace so that you can see that nothing is there. Nothing was ever there. Know this and be “happy” because your search is over, no replacement is necessary.

M: Unfortunately, in this world, other things are needed besides love. Love doesn’t put food on the table.

J: To the contrary, fear “in this world” has resulted in the starvation of millions. Therefore, love does have the power to “put food on the table.”

I attempted to demonstrate this and the experiment was successful. Now it must be replicated, because it will not be accepted as genuine until you do it yourself.

M: I thought you said that I can never know God’s love, only my concepts of love which are not God’s love.

J: As I have stated, the Truth is NOT unknown to you, merely resisted. God’s Love must be known, for why would you so strenuously resist that which you have no knowledge of. I do NOT teach God’s Love, only the futility of resistance. Your concepts of love are NOT God’s Love, but they do serve as resistance. Resistance is only applicable to the notion that God made a “world” where love is entirely absent. This is because a “love” based on conditions cannot be present, simply because IT IS NOT LOVE. Resistance to this alone will help you know the Truth.

M: But I don’t feel that I resist anything.

J: This is because for you, resistance is experienced as “life,” causing you to normalize that which is complete insanity. The ego easily accommodates to resisting what is experienced in every moment and Truth is IN every moment. How could it be absent and be Truth?

Therefore, if every moment finds you prepared to experience what you have determined is “true,” then it gives you what you expect to have, simply because you demand nothing more of it. Demand the Truth!

Constant resistance creates a numbing sense of apathy because your mind is anesthetized by the ego’s fear for anything other than what it predicts and prepares to experience. Out of this fear, your ego gives you only what is expected and this is the “world” you SEE, for you SEE no farther. Look beyond what you SEE!

Nevertheless, this is also the “world” you seek to escape because your resistance has made it “hell’ and hell is nothing more than resisting Heaven. You do not like what you SEE, but only because SEEING relies on the body’s “eyes” and Truth does NOT.

Every path out of what you SEE, provided by the "world," is easily adopted by the ego as its own, giving you the inevitable sense that there can be NO escape. Understand that every plan devised by the ego to escape the ego can never succeed. I offer a plan that does NOT rely on an ego, nor a "world," but does rely on your accepting, rather than resisting.

M: This all seems pretty hopeless.

J: To an ego, it must seem that way. But you are NOT an ego and your mind is free. Therefore, feel free to let the ego speak, but listen only to me. I will show you that escape is unnecessary. There is a better “world” and you could have it this very moment, if you would only allow me to show it to you. Otherwise, your “eyes” will never see it because you do NOT expect that it CAN be seen. Therefore, you must SEE it through my eyes.

Don't Be Fooled By Imitations

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:05:00 +0000

M: I ask for this peace that you continue to claim is mine for the asking. Why don’t I experience it?

J: If you ask, then it cannot be withheld from you. But only if it is truly what you WILL to have. You want much, but in all your requests you have yet to ask for peace. This is because you have no idea what you ask FOR, because the asking is based on past experience.

The world is of your making and you have set the limits of experience. Pray NOT for what you know, because you know NOTHING.

Look very closely at what you ask. Ask for love, and the love YOU believe real is the love you will expect to experience and what you expect is always received. However, you are slowly learning that what you expect has never been what you want, only what you wanted. Why pray for it then?

Prayer is of the WILL, which your ego could never understand because, although it struggles to compel your thinking, it has NO control over your WILL. This is what is meant by “seek the kingdom within.”

When thought and WILL are combined, mountains will be indeed be moved!

Prayer is not of words or concepts or even thought, but of the WILL alone and nothing else. You have yet to ask for what you really want because you cannot ever know what it is you want, when you do not know what it is YOU ARE. Will for peace and it is yours because, very simply, it is what you ARE.

M: I think I have asked for peace.

J: You may “think” you ask for peace, but thinking is a tool easily engaged by an ego for purposes it believes will reinforce itself. Reinforcing what does NOT exist must be cause for conflict.

Because of this, your thoughts are very conflicted and this is your experience. Your ego does not believe perfect peace is attainable and this is why conflict must fill that void. But your WILL is not conflicted, when YOU KNOW IT. This is the true meaning of the term “willpower,” which your ego has distorted for its own purposes.

Are there times you have felt no peace? Then there are times you have prayed the world snatch it away, only to substitute the fear of “hell.” Hell takes many shapes and sizes at varying degrees but, make no mistake, perfect peace is ONE. It is completely unified and more powerful than anything in your world because it does NOT rely on your world to exist.

You are very preoccupied with the “metaphysics” of what I teach and you seek to corroborate my message with what the world has taught. There are only the barest of imitations available, but imitations cannot sustain and are easily manipulated. Nothing in your world could ever imitate the peace of your WILL, because the world was created to oppose your WILL and serves no other purpose.

Look at the world and merely ask yourself, "is this what I WILL the world to be?" Of course NOT!

WILL for the genuine and it will be yours. ASK for imitation and you will be left to doubt your own mind in denying that you are more than what you THINK you are.

M: You’re asking me to have faith in what I know nothing about, as that which would save me.

J: The knowledge YOU have determined as salvation is learned in “time” and time demands your death because you have given it no other purpose. However, you have convinced yourself that specific objectives will lead to “happiness,” but even this will not stop death and you do believe that in "time" you must die. Ask and you will receive, simply because you give to yourself.

These objectives cannot be met, because “happiness” has no meaning in hell. However, the joy of Heaven is NOT beyond what your mind can currently consider. The problem is that what YOU consider as eventually eliminating hell, is only a lesson learned in hell. The classroom remains the same and the lessons exhaustively repeated until you accept a new teacher.

M: But if I give myself hell, who gives me heaven? Where does God come into this scheme?

J: You have determined the conditions of hell and you live by those limitations. Heaven is predetermined and has no conditions since it does not rely on your “thinking,” although your mind WILL soon acknowledge participation and that is certain in time.

You determine conditions, God has none. You determine limitations, God has none. What God Creates is unconditional and can have no limitations.

God Created YOU.

The Second Voice You Hear

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 22:47:00 +0000

M: Is my consciousness the only consciousness? Aren’t there other minds?

J: As long as you identify exclusively with your mind, then clearly there is only your mind. However, when you relieve yourself of the NEED to think alone, then there are many minds joined as ONE.

You do believe there are other minds. Yet, you only experience your 'self.' Therefore, you are invested in the “existence” of other "bodies." They talk and act like you and so, you have little doubt that they think as you do. Nevertheless, the idea of knowing what they “think” is very frightening to you, only because to know what “they” think, would mean that they would know YOU. You are very afraid of being alone, but you are more afraid of being known.

M: So if these many minds are joined as one, how will the “one” continue to be many?

J: The answer cannot be understood by an ego that knows itself as one and apart from many. Nevertheless, there is no difference except in your mind. Your mind determines all differences and then seeks them out as if it were not the cause.

M: Why would I want to be joined as one with other minds? In other words, what’s in it for me?

J: Everything you want. Except that what you want, you will want for everyone. Currently, you have made this idea a platitude. However, the actual experience is more wondrous than any experience you have yet to encounter.

M: But I thought you said there are no “others”?

J: In joining as One, this will be readily apparent. This is not to say that you could not differentiate, just that there would simply be no reason to. At present, your whole existence is predicated on differences and you feel you have no choice and MUST seek out differences.

However, until such "time," you will continue to experience “distance” between your thoughts, which will make it seem as though there are “others” for which judgements MUST be made. I merely teach you how to lessen the distance and when you are ready, you will easily do so.

M: But, how can I learn to join with all minds as one, if my ego can't hear the answer?

J: Do not listen from an ego.

M: But ‘I’ don’t exist without an ego, so there is no way ‘I’ can ever understand the answer as a separate mind. You are teaching an ego!

J: You were NOT Created with a mind divided, but indivisible. Therefore, no such division can possibly be real. Imaginary functions are only real for you, but they have no basis in God and, make no mistake, YOU are based in God. You can suffer through all your imaginings for as long as you choose. However, why would you? Eventually, the Truth will dawn upon the mind WILLING to listen, instead of an ego that was not made to hear.

You believe in a “before” and an “after” and you have allowed the ego to speak “before” me and therefore, you invest in the past. Now you are willing to allow me to speak “after,” but as of yet, this has not lessened your original investment. The purpose of time is to alter this arrangement so that you will hear me, “before” the ego. As your investment increasingly turns to me, the ego’s voice will gradually diminish until the past no longer speaks to you at all.

Hearing only me will prepare you for the Voice that speaks for timelessness and that Voice WE will speak together as ONE.

The Last Mediator

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:12:00 +0000

M: How can I possibly consider the body insignificant?

J: By trusting in the mind to cure your ills, since the mind created them. Yet, only because it was deluded into thinking it was a body.

M: That’s a little too far advanced for me. I can’t cure a headache by wishing it away. I need to take aspirin.

J: The world is your placebo and it gives you nothing but what YOU ask of it. There is no need to mediate between sickness and health. True Healing is simply the end of all mediation.

Only a thought separates you from fully embracing your world. Yet, this thought is so infinitesimally small and weak; it could be easily erased by the slightest touch of a feather. Yet, you have made it the basis of your entire existence.

I am the last mediator you will ever call for.

M: I don’t see how it could be any different.

J: You SEE what you choose to see and unless you choose to SEE differently, you will SEE the same. In denying choice, mediation became necessary and Truth must come from something other than your mind.

M: What is this “choice” you keep talking about? I’d love to “see” the world differently, but that’s not going to change what it is.

J: It is a command choice and correctly determines cause from effect. You are cause of the body, but live as though an effect. You are equally cause of the world and all you need do is rejoice in that Truth and it will be YOURS immediately, no longer can it be otherwise. Be joyful in this one idea alone and this alone will overcome all limitations of a body. As long as you define your ‘self’ as commanded by a ‘world’ you will suffer through those commands simply because the world commands that YOU suffer. You do NOT WILL to suffer, but against your WILL, you ASK the world press upon you.

M: But I don’t “ask” for suffering. I often don’t have a choice. I have a body and the body experiences pain and discomfort. Often there is nothing that can be done about that except to endure it.

J: To suffer is to fear an outcome and there is but one outcome the body fears above all others. Make no mistake; all suffering is fear of death. For if you could NOT die, what use for suffering. I teach that you cannot die and all your “endurance” has been wasted.

M: But the body will eventually die.

J: Yet, that is NOT what troubles you. What causes you to endure incredible suffering is that YOU will die. This is because YOU equate your "self" solely with a “body.” You have determined that if the body dies, then YOU must perish with it.

M: But, I also understand that I am a mind, as well.

J: A mind controlled by the body’s senses, is a mere junior partner in the business of “existence.” The body informs you when to suffer and how intensely that suffering will be endured. This deluded partnership need be dissolved.

M: But I can’t simply pretend that the body doesn’t exist. How would I interact with others and the world?

J: I have not asked that the body disappear from sight, as you are not yet ready for Truth to be recalled in this manner. There is no reason the body should not serve a purpose, only a purpose different from the one you have determined. Determine NO purpose by your ‘self’ and allow me to mediate between your mind and the commands of the body. In this way you can correctly discriminate between what the body tells you and what Truth declares.

M: What other purpose could the body serve?

J: To teach you that you are mind and not body. Fear is of the mind, but only in relation to the body. The fearless have dissolved this deluded association and in that, their power is known, only not to a body.

Rarely do you trouble yourself with the actions of the mind, since the mind cannot act. You have little concern with the mind’s relation to the world, but always the body. The actions of the body have oppressed your mind, but only because you deny the mind’s power. Where the mind is the body must follow, but you choose that the body lead.

Do not think the world is immune to what you think, because what you think makes the world. Allow me to mediate between your deluded communication so that you can finally realize that nothing is communicated at all. Let me show you that you are FREE and mediation is no longer necessary.

The World is NOT Your Source

mbsu@verizon.net (mike) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:42:00 +0000

M: I feel as though I have not made any progress at all. I still find myself falling into these episodes of discouragement, not to mention anger, anxiety, periods of depression, etc.

J: If you have expectations regarding “progress,” you will be discouraged as you always have when YOU define your purpose. You continue to demand that you know what you need. Therefore, you will continue to be discouraged. Let go of what you know!

I know what you need and it has already been given, merely awaiting your acceptance.

M: So what are the expectations? There must be some reason for this. Aren’t you teaching me how to return to God?

J: It is not my purpose to teach a "return to God” as that is beyond the scope of my function and beyond what you CAN learn. My ONLY purpose is to teach you to be completely without fear. I have no other function, nor do YOU. But from that absence will come a joy impervious to the world's curriculum of death.

You are progressing in that expectation, although you refuse to see it. However, you seem to feel that “indifference” is a state of mind without fear, when it is only another form of fear. Indifference is your attempt to minimize fear by denying it exists, which only makes it harder to recognize that YOU make it real. You cannot make a world from fear and then run from what you demand be "true." But, you can see it differently and thus, change it.

Substituting one form of fear for another merely delays progress. There have been moments, not yet recognizable to your confused mind, when you have been without fear. But as quickly as these moments engage your mind, just as quickly they recede into the background and there they wait for the correct interpretation. Can you recall these moments?

M: I’m not sure I even understand what you mean by “fear.” I have felt numerous emotional states lately, but none of which I would call fear.

J: You are not without fear in this very moment, although your powers of normalization helps you to deny your experience through "degrees."

M: What? I’m sitting here talking to you waiting for someone to arrive.

J: In that brief time, you have conceptualized any number of ideas, one after another, with regard to expectations and desires. Many thoughts you pay little heed to, however, you do experience the emotional states that are a product of your thinking. This is because most of the concepts and ideas you have entertained keep you in conflict and a conflicted mind is indicative of fear. Make no mistake, your feelings of discouragement are based in fear and your emotions serve only to measure the levels and degrees that seems to make your fear "normal."

You believe the outside world opposes you, simply by being "outside" your mind. You believe that by being BORN in it, it must have made YOU. Therefore, you must conform your thinking to a world separate from you and this causes immense strain, which can only lead to persistent discouragement. Why would you oppose that which you made REAL?

The world is against your WILL. You do not WILL to have experiences that deny the Truth. Essentially you oppose yourself, yet you see an "outside" and thus feel you must fight against your WILL in order to conform to what the world demands of you. In this way, you deny your WILL to be free of ALL limitations. You determine that the world’s teaching is more important than your WILL and thus you make yourself victim to a world outside your mind. You are not a product of the world’s teaching, but of God’s Will, which is your own. This is the true meaning of “willpower” since it is through the omnipotent WILL of Creation that YOU have been made possible.

The world holds no control on your Will to BE and only your misinterpreting the world as your source, keeps you in bondage to it.

M: Basically, you’re asking me to be egoless?

J: You have no ego, but you do have much fear. Ego is a construct of fear and that was its beginning. Fear is the father of humanity and only by abolishing fear, will the mind no longer be bound to inhumanity. This is because the one automatically asserts the other. To be human is very limited indeed.

Do not seek to hate or punish your ego as it thrives on the fear of a conflicted mind. Do not humble yourself to its demands since it can demand nothing of you that you do not ask it to provide. I ask that you hold fear in your hand and like the seeds of a dandelion merely blow it away, so that you may once again hold perfect peace.

Know as fact, that every concept in your mind was made from fear and if you allow concepts to control you then you have invited fear and not God.
