The Curse of Perception

2011-12-22T16:59:00.000-08:00

M: Why does this hurt so much?

C: If you add what does not belong you will suffer from what you insist is “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and free yourself from what you impose upon the experience of “you.” Make no mistake, the “world” is nothing more than the experience of your “self” from which you push away ALL that you have determined as NOT “you.”

Such attempts to control a delusional reality from within the delusion are destined to fail, because it only reinforces the power to be controlled by that which you determine as separate from you. There is nothing apart from your mind. Nothing leaves your mind and you are “there” as is everything you perceive as divided from you.

All fear merely attests to the fear of your own thought.

M: What doesn’t belong?

C: Everything you demand as “real” only blocks TRUTH by keeping the experience of your “self” in scattered pieces rather than WHOLE. Forcing “reality” to conform to your expectations creates defenses against the TRUTH of the whole by attacking the parts that you deem as separate from that wholeness.

What you determine as NEEDED can only defend against TRUTH, because TRUTH simply does not conform to the chaos of your separate and divided thoughts. Nothing you THINK reflects wholeness, but merely perpetuates the weakness inherent to the parts that you have expelled. You will expect attack from that which you banish and your thoughts currently reflect that constant preparation. Yet, what is a part of you cannot attack when it experiences the wholeness that only YOU can provide.

What belongs will be apparent by the fact that YOU have no need of it. This makes it free and clear of your conditions and you will experience the WHOLENESS inherent to that absence.

You will ONLY be increased by what comes to you without condition.

Conditions are nothing more than your preparation for defense against that which you have expelled. You have expelled everything and that exclusion is evident by the very act of SEEING.

Your needs are the conditions from which awareness of “reality” is sculpted into chaotic pieces having NO purpose whatsoever. This does NOT reflect TRUTH, but results in “perception.” Yet, you fail to realize that the very act of perception slices up the whole into separate disparate parts. Therefore, you must understand that you can never experience wholeness through perception. Yet, you can give wholeness TO perception and be renewed by that unified experience.

M: So I should just give up all my needs?

C: You will ALWAYS suffer from what you evaluate and "perceive" as LOSS. In a world through which you must defend against the parts, there is NO capacity to perceive the TRUTH that is right before your “eyes.”

There can be no loss in TRUTH, because it takes nothing away and ONLY increases. Only perception looks for and sees loss.

But you fear you will be deprived and so you fear what TRUTH will give you. Through perception you demonstrate your fear of having everything and losing nothing. Hence, perception has cursed you with the need to judge between parts by what the parts contain. This weakens you because there is nothing in the parts but what perception provides by “seeing” it.

Yet, still, you do not believe “perception” a curse, but idolize it as a means of “survival.” You will “die,” but only because you “perceive” death and perception makes it true.

M: So I just have to recognize that I have NO needs? Again, another impossible task!

C: Indeed, for one who perceives NEED, the task appears insurmountable. Deprivation makes TRUTH seem unavailable, lost and in need of discovery. Why else would you have called on me if not to aid you in correcting this error?

M: So what about this particular situation?

C: What I teach applies to all situations. Your belief in “particular” situations is why you have yet to understand TRUTH.

There are no situations or events separate from TRUTH. There is only what you choose to experience either through TRUTH or through perception. If you encase TRUTH in the concepts you “perceive,” you will be controlled by an “outside” world.

However, you are free to change your thinking at any time and this “particular situation” can be of incalculable value toward that goal. But you must take direction from one who knows that value.

You have been here before many times over. Yet, of your “self,” you can only repeat the past, because your perception is a product of that past and you will only see what it teaches you.

M: So what do you want me to do?

C: Nothing

M: What do you mean “nothing”? I have to do something or things could go wrong.

C: Are you not yet weary of all your efforts? Have you not yet realized you have no basis for perceiving right or wrong? Are you not ready to let down your defenses in the realization that they have not served you?

Perception is a defense against TRUTH and your reliance on it fails to increase you. When you are ready you will give me ALL your experiences and I will show you how to see it ALL in TRUTH. I will show you that right and wrong are not part of TRUTH and you will be overjoyed with the understanding that you need not rely on perception as the means of making CHOICES. You will experience freedom beyond your wildest imaginings in the realization that you need do nothing at all.

Your mind languishes in a hell of your CHOOSING. What more could freedom be than an END to this?

In this "situation," do not decide you know what is best. Make no choices based on perception without first asking me what it means. Do not be afraid and have faith that you will learn and what you learn will naturally increase you as only the TRUTH can. You are already suffering because your egocentric perceptions mislead you into making choices that decrease you, causing you to experience weakness and loss. This wastes time and is completely unnecessary.

M: You want me to deny reality.

C: I ask that you deny the reality you have made, because it was made to be perceived apart from TRUTH.

God created TRUTH because God is TRUTH and so MUST you be. Nothing you “perceive” can change that FACT simply because what is separate from God cannot exist in TRUTH. You are NOT separate from God but your incessant need to “perceive” your world denies this FACT from you.

I teach only the TRUTH as it was placed within me and nothing else. I am the TRUTH and I AM in you as you are in me. You cannot “perceive” me, nor do I perceive you. We are joined as ONE through the mind that gave us life and that life cannot be experienced through perception.

Yet, the experience of that LIFE can completely alter perception and what you “see” will astound you, but only until the moment TRUTH dawns on you and perception ceases its hold as all remnants of the past evaporate like fallen raindrops in the hot midday sun.

This freedom awaits you my brother as it awaits ALL that you “perceive.” Perception can only whither and die under the magnificence of TRUTH.

No longer will you be troubled by choices that fail to summon TRUTH before your eyes. This is your inheritance and delay no longer in accepting what is yours, as it was given you upon your Creation. This dream is not your home. But it can serve to show you the way when it no longer serves any other purpose BUT that alone.

Truth is Known by Increase

2011-12-16T03:08:00.000-08:00

M: Why does this hurt so much?

C: If you add what does not belong, you will suffer from what you insist be “real” but can never be TRUE. Discard what does NOT belong and be free from what you impose upon yourself.

What you superimpose upon experience diminishes you.

Your attempts to control a delusional reality by manipulating your delusions must fail, because it only reinforces the power of what is not TRUE to control you.

M: What doesn’t belong?

C: Everything manipulated as “real" can only block TRUTH. Forcing “reality” to conform to your expectations demands you defend against TRUTH. What you determine as NEEDED defends against what is TRUE, because TRUTH does not conform to what you THINK and every experience is a product of your thought. Nothing is free of your mind and that is a law of God which you can NOT alter. You can deny it and this is the chief defining property of ALL your suffering.

M: So nothing I see, hear, touch or even think for that matter, is real?

C: It is ALL very “real” for you. Yet, it holds no TRUTH because it does NOT increase you.

TRUTH is known by increase. It cannot decrease, lose or take away. It cannot fade or change. It does not reduce, limit or obstruct. It does NOT suffer from deprivation because it is deprived of nothing. It is constant and has absolutely NO conditions because it is absolutely FREE.

What belongs will be apparent by the fact that it is free of your conditions. Your conditions result from your belief in deprivation. You can ONLY be increased by what comes to you FREE, without condition. Your conditions are filters that channel awareness to what must be defended as separate from the WHOLE. Only what is separate do you refer to as “real.” Therefore, you know nothing as TRUE.

You believe constant increase is impossible and that everything must eventually decrease and die. Your needs arise from deprivation and are the conditions from which the “real” is constructed. The details are intensely imaginative and “real” for you, but completely delusional. “Real” is a delusional concept of your invention. TRUTH does NOT know of it, because TRUTH has an opposite.

M: So I should just give up all my needs?

C: You will ALWAYS suffer from what you evaluate as LOSS. In a world through which you experience deprivation, you have LOST the capacity to see the TRUTH that appears directly before your eyes.

There can be no loss in TRUTH, because it takes nothing away and ONLY increases. But you fear it will deprive you of your egocentric "reality" and so you fear what TRUTH will give because it will give you everything and you will lose nothing. That which is defined through deprivation will cease to exist when it has everything. Yet, if TRUTH increases everything then deprivation cannot possibly exist NOW, as that would be a lie. The logic of TRUTH is quite elementary, but is well hidden within the complexity of your egocentric concepts.

M: So I just have to recognize that I have NO needs? Again, another impossible task!

C: Indeed, for one who believes in deprivation, the task appears insurmountable. Deprivation makes TRUTH seem unavailable, lost and in need of discovery. Why else would you have called on me if not to aid you in correcting this error?

M: So what about this particular situation?

C: Your belief in “particular” situations is why you have yet to understand that TRUTH encompasses all experience. There are no situations or events. No episodes or moments. No days or months or years. There are no specific or particular experiences. There is, and can only ever be, one TRUTH, applicable in all cases.

If you lock away your experiences behind limiting concepts, you must only be imprisoned within the finite, conditional thoughts of your own mind. This is your “reality” and it is only your thinking that is deprived.

However, you are free to change your MIND at any time and this “particular situation” can be of incalculable value toward that goal if you so choose. But you must take direction from one who knows what that value is. You do recognize you have been here before and, of your “self,” you have NO recourse other than to repeat the past, because past thoughts have NO basis for existence in TRUTH.

M: So what do you want me to do?

C: Nothing.

M: What do you mean “nothing”? I have to do something.

C: Are you not yet weary of all your frantic efforts? What thought, concept or belief from the past will save you this time? Have you not yet realized you have no basis for determining right or wrong? Are you not yet ready to let down your defenses in the realization that they have not served you and, in fact, only perpetuate suffering? Does your “world” not demonstrate this to you?

When you are ready you will give me ALL your experiences and I will show you how to see it ALL as ONE. I will show you that right and wrong are not part of TRUTH and you will be overjoyed with the understanding that you need not CHOOSE any longer. You will experience freedom beyond your wildest imaginings in the realization that you need do nothing at all. Your mind languishes in a hell of your CHOOSING. What more could freedom be than an END to making the choice TO suffer?

In this situation, do not decide you know what is best. Make no choices without my counsel. Do not be afraid and have faith that you will learn and what you learn will naturally increase you, as only TRUTH can. learning that does not provide constant increase is ignorance. Is it clear to you now that, in all your years, you have learned nothing at all?

You have no means of accurate assessment. You are always wrong when you believe you are right and right when you are wrong. There can be NO difference in a dream of “reality” except what you decide and you do not have the means of deciding anything correctly because you have assessed it ALL as “real.” It is this evaluation that divides your world and tears it into opposing pieces and through these scattered pieces you define a “self” as part of the whole, thereby, denying that you tore it apart so as NOT to know the whole.

You are here to learn what YOU are and have called on me to teach you. Take rest in me and I will take up your burden and we will tread lightly together. Walk this dream with lightened steps and an ease to your gait, because you walk with one who knows the way out.

Interpreting Salvation

2011-11-14T18:39:00.000-08:00

C: You interpret a need to suffer again?

M: I can’t help it. Things are not working out well.

C: How do you know that?

M: It’s what I experience.

C: Egocentric exclusivity demands ALL experience demonstrate a separation from your world. Inclusive oneness does not simply incorporate “other people,” but ALL that the mind perceives itself apart from.

Your salvation is based entirely upon interpretation, because you have the POWER to interpret yourself SAVED from the suffering of exclusivity into an inclusive whole and from that interpretation you ARE saved. God waits for you to make this decision and it is certain that YOU will.

M: So I just need to interpret myself saved and I’m saved?

C: Nothing more is needed. You interpret yourself in hell and, hence, this is your experience. If everything your mind shows you is THOUGHT, and I assure you it is ONLY that, then “hell” is simply an interpretation that you are separate from your own THINKING. You have invented THOUGHTS that you interpret as beyond your control. But how can this be if it is ALL your invention?

M: I still don’t see how this helps me.

C: Recognize that nothing in your world is what you have interpreted it to be and discard your interpretations as meaningless. You have learned nothing from them, except to unravel ever more absurd meanings from erroneous perceptions based on false interpretations. All previous interpretations are completely useless to you NOW.

The original interpretation that you are separate from God and, hence, from everyone in your “world,” made all subsequent decisions patently meaningless. You must correct the original interpretation before you will interpret your world correctly.

The dream unfolds as nothing more than an interpretation on you. The “world” conforms to what you interpret your “self” to be and not what the world determines you ARE. You interpret the world as oppositional to you when, in fact, you only oppose your “self.” You hate what you are, but seek a way to “love” yourself and this “loving hatred” is reflected back to you. Everywhere you look you perceive a world of other minds hating what the mind seems to show them, but desperately seeking for a way to love what they fear. This is how you interpret your “self” and, thus, it stands to reason that you would SEE your world this same way.

There can be NO peace to a confused mind split between interpretations of love and fear. Eventually, you must choose only one, because there is only one. This is what you have called on me to show you. Do NOT deny the purpose you give me.

M: If I made the world, why is it not the way I want?

C: The disorder and chaos of your world simply reflects the meaningless disorder of your mind. Yet, you continue to claim that it is “out there.” You refuse to accept your role and what is “out there” only reflects that refusal. You adjust your inner state to what you behold “outside” and inevitably suffer internally from what you make externally “real.”

You have sought out many situations as a means of finding “happiness.” Each situation brings you NO closer to what you seek, because you will not FIND it in a “world” that you have made as a means to HIDE it. Why insist on seeking what you have arranged can NEVER be found?

These situations must be interpreted in a way for PEACE to return. There is nothing that need be sacrificed for this to be LEARNED in every moment. If you could experience the Joy of God inherent to TRUTH, you would know this without doubt and peace would be experienced in every moment.

M: But you want me to surrender everything I believe in.

C: What GIFTS have your beliefs bestowed upon you? Have they alleviated your fear or ended your suffering? Have they given you infinite joy and peace? Have they provided you with a love conditioned on nothing, but love itself? Do your thoughts dissolve all conflict or merely further reinforce opposing conditions? Have you ever experienced JOY from what you believe and is that JOY transferable to your "world”?

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

It is inherent to your God given free-will to believe whatever you should choose and how you respond to your world immediately demonstrates what you have chosen. I merely teach that there is another choice available, because this is what you ask of me.

Do not determine your role in any situation. Make no decisions on what you wish to happen or on what outcome you feel is best. Make no judgments on what you want and await what will be shown to you because YOU have asked for it. Understand that if you feel deprived or discouraged in any moment, then you have decided in error and ask for correction.

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

Dreams Do Not Leave The Mind Of The Dreamer

2011-11-03T03:56:00.000-07:00

M: Actually, what I’ve noticed recently is that, since these conversations, I’ve been experiencing more stress in my life than before. I sometimes think trying to learn what you teach is causing me more problems because I’m trying to attain what is totally unattainable.

C: Your need to experience “problems” has not changed, because you identify with deprivation and every problem symbolizes an absence of what you insist will “save” you.

However, your desperation for freedom from your problems is obviously intensifying as you begin to learn that FREEDOM has always been available to the MIND, but never the body. There will come a time when you will think with me always, in the realization that the ‘self’ you rely on to make use of a body cannot free your MIND. Yet, you continue to believe it is a sacrifice to free your MIND of what the self makes “real.” You believe “happiness” is out there and must be found. Hence, you stand before the bridge, but fear crossing.

M: I feel I should be farther along than I am.

C: The idea that you are NOT yet “there,” is the one idea currently inhibiting progress. You are THERE and only one last step must be taken before you see what you have come to see. You may take that step now or wait a thousand more years, but it is certain you WILL cross.

You still seek for evidence of change to “appear” in your world. The world will always witness to your state of mind. NOTHING changes without your WISH, but you wish only for what you know and you know NOTHING.

Do not rely on “perception” to teach you that you know NOTHING, because perception will teach you that NOTHING is "something" and you will learn from the PAST. There is NO progress in going backward. I offer you a future absent all past and in that, you will experience a present never before known.

You have begun to use your “problems” to negate what I teach and deny TRUTH. You claim that since your problems have increased, I must be a fraud.

This idea only serves to support your weak imagination, which the dream can only reflect back to you, in contradiction to my teaching that your strength is beyond the weakness you now imagine real.

Weakness always distrusts what it sees and sees only what must be distrusted as means of reinforcing its weakness, which it claims as "strength." You are beginning to trust in ME and this can only increase your trust in THEM, because to FULLY trust in me, you must FULLY trust in THEM. This closes the gap that you imagine separates you from your world.

M: So I have to rely on others to awaken from my dream?

C: The dream of “you” is yours and there are NO “others.” God did NOT create divided minds to occupy separated and estranged bodies as means to oppose one another. It is your dream and therefore, what happens is always a product of your request.

When you no longer demand the past define the present, you will understand all your experiences as ONE and that ONE experience will naturally awaken YOU from your dream.

THEY can teach you that you are only dreaming, because it is what you will teach THEM. Every moment you push them away, every time you curse what the dream shows you, you keep them and yourself in HELL.

M: How do I teach anybody anything when I don’t know anything?

C: There is a part of you that can teach a different purpose for what you imagine as “real.” It is from “there” I came and it is to there we BOTH will return.

That part has never left God and is inextricably bound to TRUTH. That part is completely whole and is NOT aware of separate THOUGHTS opposing one another. It can only teach what it knows and it will teach you to see the wholeness of your dream, since the only means of awakening from a dream, is to see it ALL as you have made it.

A dream does NOT leave the mind of the dreamer.

Teach THEM that they are also dreaming and you will learn that from THEM. However, determine that they are right or wrong in any way and they will teach you to oppose them.

Think of everything you want and teach the opposite. This will aid you in corresponding with the part of you that is unaware of egocentricity and is, therefore, NOT dreaming of opposites.

M: The only part of me I know of is living and interacting in the world.

C: You look to your world to teach you what you ARE and you will learn what “you” have taught it. There is more to YOU than your world can ever show you, but you must show that to your world. Let go of everything you THINK you are and you will discover what you are in TRUTH. Do not be afraid that you will falter or fail because you do not follow the rules of the dream. Realize that you are ruler of the dream and the rules will dissolve before your eyes.

M: Why would I dream certain experiences and not others? Why is my dream specifically as it is? Why are certain people a part of my dream?

C: You wish to learn that there is nothing to fear in a dream made of fear. You are its maker and you have asked me to teach you this, because you know it MUST be true.

This radically alters the dream into a cause for rejoicing, because a mind completely free of fear cannot but rejoice because it is FREE. Make no purpose for THEM other than this and you will learn from THEM what you teach. Free THEM of your concepts and THEY will free YOU from the prison of your own. This is THEIR only purpose, because it is YOUR only purpose. What other purpose could you set for THEM but this? What other purpose could your world serve but to free it and yourself?

Nevertheless, you have specified many purposes for parts of your dream and this has only kept you from awaking. Separate thoughts can only conflict and oppose one another and your world reflects those opposing ideas.

Your experience of a “world” would be completely different if ALL ideas were equal. All ideas IN a dream are equal because they are ALL NOTHING. The “happy” times and the “sad,” the moments you have cursed in rage and those moments in which you THOUGHT you had finally found joy. Not one of them was real. Invest the dream with any special moments in time and you will NOT awaken from a dream world constructed entirely FROM the delusion of time.

This is NOT where you belong and you have never really felt as though you belonged here and that feeling intensifies. You are beginning to see the absurdity of your chaos. But you must take my hand else you will dream of your destruction and accept it as “real.”

You cannot die, but you can dream of death and, because of the absolute incredible power of your mind, you will believe it.

Your Commitment to Symbols

2011-10-15T04:34:00.000-07:00

M: Now that my marriage is over, should I seek for love again?

C: Seeking for “love” through a symbolic reality can only end in failure because symbols are not real.

M: Well, I’d rather not live the rest of my life alone.

C: Would that be any different from what preceded? You have surrounded yourself with bodies, but only to further symbolize your estrangement from TRUTH because you fail to use the symbols to realize TRUTH.

All the symbols of your dream serve the purpose of either waking from the dream or remaining victimized by it. Your current actions demonstrate the choice you have made. However, your FREE-WILL offers you the ability to choose again.

M: So I should not commit to doing anything?

C: You are FREE to “commit” to whatever you wish in a “world” you demand symbolize “reality.” But what is the purpose of committing to symbols? Would you rather not commit to REALITY?

You must also recognize your ‘self’ as symbolic of what is past and, therefore, only capable of repeating what was learned. In that recognition, you will understand that you have NO idea what you want, nor could you ever.

Choosing between symbols seems to demonstrate differences. Nevertheless, the symbols merely serve to hide the fact that NOTHING is there, but what you demand be present.

You are “committed” to your LOVE of symbols and believing in what is NOT real is the very foundation of your suffering.

However, the pain of this recent experience, which you symbolize as failure, has the capacity to successfully accelerate your learning by symbolizing a greater openness to guidance. You are beginning to contemplate the notion that you do NOT KNOW what any of your symbols really mean.

Nevertheless, you still remain resistant and staunchly “committed” to choosing a symbolic representation to SAVE you. Symbols cannot save, but only victimize.

M: So the people in my dream are only symbols?

C: Do you not see that you have made a purpose for everyone you encounter? You believe that purpose was there before the encounter, but this is clearly in error. You have set the purpose for everyone you meet and if they seem to rebel from that purpose, you have asked for that as well.

M: I suppose I just want things to work out right.

C: And always based on the delusional idea that you could even KNOW the difference between which symbols are right or wrong. I teach that they are neither, being only symbolic.

The only goal to accept for every situation is that you do NOT KNOW. This allows you to learn HEALING from the symbols you call on, in the understanding that ALL experiences are provided by YOU and can symbolize whatever you wish for them.

There is a deeper part of you unknown to the surface desires of an egocentric dream. A part that is aware of the whole, because it IS whole. Through a more effective use of your fragmented symbols, it will help you experience that wholeness.

M: It does seem that I forever go over the same problems, the same anger and resentments, the same reactions, time and time again. It all gets repeated over and over.

C: The problem is always the same IF you continually seek an answer from what only symbolizes a PAST and, make no mistake, without a past the “self’ you believe real could NOT be known. Although the dream seems to show you changing circumstances and situations, the chaotic foundation of the self never changes. It is always chaos and from this you make decisions that merely perpetuate that foundation.

Let go of every purpose you would establish for every experience you encounter and learn the TRUTH that it will reveal ONLY when you surrender what you think it SYMBOLIZES. You have yet to recognize the deep peace that will envelop you when you engage the symbols of your dream without expectation, without hope and, hence, without fear. Expectations and hopes born of fear merely perpetuate suffering by repeating the past.

YOU were NOT created to formulate expectations from what you would hope is “true.” You were created to experience the pure certainty of TRUTH. Yet, nothing you now hope for will allow that light to shine on you, because “hope” born of the past fears, keeps you shrouded in darkness. You have the God given potential to SEE. Yet, nothing can be seen in darkness.

In your “world” you invest your hopes in a reality which only symbolizes the fragmentation born of FEAR. There is nothing you need hope for in God’s world, because everything you need is provided in pure certainty and nothing in your world will show you that until you accept it as TRUE.

Surrender all your hopes and have FAITH only in certainty.

Infinite and Unimaginable Joy

2011-09-27T09:52:00.000-07:00

M: If this is a “dream” why do I have so many problems to deal with? It’s like I just go from one problem to the next.

J: A dream can have NO problems, being ONLY a dream.

Failing to see this is your only problem. Seek out every “problem” you can find and immediately recognize it is solved.

M: You want me to look for problems?

J: Is that NOT what you do? Do you not superimpose the past upon a future in fear of the present? You lament those you claim as “addicted,” but find you own incessant need to repeat your suffering completely acceptable.

M: Problems just pop-up. I don’t seek them out.

J: FEAR compels you to make repetition REAL and the world never fails to demonstrate what you wish to SEE until you NO longer wish to see it. The power of your mind is beyond imagining. Yet, when everything it imagines is founded on fear, what you imagine “real,” you will NOT LOVE. Imagine what you could SEE if fear were completely banished from your mind. Imagine what your world would then show you. Imagine what LOVE could give you when you extend beyond what you now imagine as “popping up.”

Nevertheless, at present, you continue to endure your own self-imposed moratorium on imagination. From large intractable problems to inconsequential and petty annoyances, life is a tedious repetition, interspersed with episodes of hope that "things may one day get better." Unless you choose another guide, fear will accompany you to the grave, because its only purpose is to take you “there.”

Make no mistake, in any moment that you do not experience UNIMAGINABLE joy, then you have IMAGINED fear as guide and everywhere you look, fear will show you ONLY what it teaches, and you will learn ONLY that.

M: Unimaginable joy??? So I should feel joy when I’m sick?

J: It is never too late to double back and correct what was DECIDED in error, since clearly sickness is indicative of a poor choice. Just as cause precedes effect, your goals MUST always precede what you experience. Sickness is only an effect of the goal that caused it. Recognize your goal is in error and simply correct it.

However, you MUST first recognize the error, because there is NOTHING that comes to you against your willingness that it be received.

M: I still cannot comprehend that all the recent shit that has piled up on me is purely of my doing. That is beyond my ability to understand.

J: Presently, understanding is not necessary, but the acceptance born of FAITH is crucial to changing the dream. You do NOT understand the world you have made “real” but, ironically, you do have faith in it being “real.” Faith arising from error made it real, but only for you. I ask that you have faith that you have perceived in error.

What you have imagined “real” is astounding and beyond ALL logic. Yet, it only attests to the incredible power of your THINKING. You have imagined real an entire “world” and then made that world the cause of your imagining, simply as means of denying GOD.

You have made your ‘self’ God, then punish yourself for your arrogance and impunity by demanding the world claim guilt for your “birth.” This is insane. Yet, you DO believe it.

M: You want me to have no desires, no dreams, hopes or goals. You want me to live as if I were not me. This is impossible!

J: Have you not yet tired of your choices? Choices that lead no closer to freedom each and every time one is made? Are you not yet exhausted from your repetitive efforts to achieve some sense of consistent “happiness”? Have you not yet learned that you have no basis for which to make such choices?

What you accept as “natural” is completely absurd. There is nothing natural about your world because there is nothing natural to a mind severed from TRUTH. It is deluded and what delusion sees cannot be TRUSTED and you will NOT love what you do NOT trust. You do NOT love your world. If you could only recognize the infinite peace that will overcome you once you give up your DISTRUST.

Let your world come to you of its own accord and accept what you receive in the realization that you could NOT decide otherwise. This will provide you the opportunity to experience change.

The experience of a complete and total break with all forms of fear is beyond your ability to imagine, only because every FORM you experience is imagined from fear. Fear has determined the FORM of everything in your “world.” Form has NO other purpose but to impose limits and your world demonstrates nothing but limitation.

Understand that the forms cannot touch you, for you have only imagined them.

M: So I can run out in front of a Mac truck and it’ll pass right through me?

J: If you could ONLY imagine it, then it could ONLY be true. What you experience is a poverty of imagination that can look NO further because it is stifled by fear. However, as fear recedes imagination yields to ever greater awareness which only perpetuates ever greater degrees of joy. Your joy is not yet infinite and continues to be limited by the FORMS you imagine “real.” You identify your ‘self’ with a poverty of imagination, born of a mind that fears itself.

Soon, however, you will let loose from your resistance and new experiences will happen very rapidly. You will imagine things beyond what has been THOUGHT “real” up to now. You are beginning to see how tightly you hold to your conditions. You are beginning to sense there might be another way. Yet, you are still haunted by the fear of sacrifice and clutch rigidly to what you see. There is much you have imagined that you refuse to let go.

M: I could let go of my attachment to many things. But there is still much that I don’t yet want to give up because it’s needed.

J: Only because you do NOT yet believe there is another way and another world in which NOTHING IS “needed.” You have the means of seeing differently, if you would only release yourself from fear. There is much I wish to show you. But you refuse to look and I cannot MAKE you see. As a guide, I can only show the way. You must choose to follow.

M: So how do I let go of fear?

J: First you must recognize that you fear EVERYTHING because, if EVERYTHING is not cause for consistent joy, then it must be fear within that looks out.

M: I don’t fear my dog.

J: Again, if what you perceive is not cause for consistent joy, then sight is afflicted by fear. This is the only “rule” necessary to understand the means of dissolving fear. You needn’t worry about the forms through which fear is experienced, as you have made them too countless to consider.

M: Well, I’m not exactly experiencing joy right now. But I don’t feel fearful either.

J: If fear is the foundation, then joy has nowhere to stand. Fear has determined your perception for much too long.

M: There’s just nothing for me to be joyful about right now.

J: Seeking a cause from the world only reinforces fear. Experience extracted from a “world” only denies your origin and makes you victim to a “world” that did NOT create YOU. I teach be joyful that it is ONLY a dream. Teach this to others and experience it for yourself.

M: How do I teach people this is only a dream, when I don’t believe it myself?

J: Teach it to learn it.

M: If it’s a dream, then what difference would it make what I did?

J: If the dream is yours, then what you do TO it, you do TO yourself. This must be understood before you can awake from the dream.

Dissolving Conditions Preemptively

2011-09-19T03:54:00.000-07:00

M: I do not have the ability to love unconditionally. There are some people I just flat out don't like. This stuff you teach is impossible to apply in the world.

J: I teach only your mind, for “there” is where all conditions reside and not in a “world.” You must first dissolve the conditions derived from your own fear, before your world will demonstrate peace. Any grievance held against another merely applies further conditions to what is not "there."

M: So the world is in my mind?

J: Where else do you experience it?

M: But I have very little control over those experiences, because they occur outside my mind.

J: Nothing leaves the mind. Full control is contingent on your learning this above all else. Until then, you will believe you are under the control of what is experienced, allowing a denial of responsibility. There is nothing outside your mind. Nothing enters and nothing leaves. Everything remains firmly within you, waiting for YOU to see it as such. See the wholeness of that and be relieved of the suffering experienced from separate parts.

M: What do you mean “see the wholeness”? How do I do that?

J: Accept the WHOLENESS of what you experience by relieving it of what it means to you and see the interdependent connection between all the parts of your dream. It is the meanings you apply to the images you experience that denies you the freedom of seeing it all at once. Such a sweeping vision will leave you breathless, but only for the moment it takes to realize that truth is not a part of your dream.

Do NOT dismiss even the tiniest, most insignificant experience to show you this wholeness.

If you look to the parts to explain the dream, you will misinterpret your ‘self’ as other than dreamer. This is why you now SEE your dream as REALITY.

M: How can I possibly be aware of everything?

J: You need NOT seek out. I merely ask that you NOT DISMISS. Every miniscule speck that seems to arise into awareness by chance, comes to you of your own volition and it was DECIDED long before the experience appeared. This is how you have made your world.

Nothing comes to you by accident and nothing you experience is victim to chance.

M: How can I not judge what I experience in order to make decisions? Things have to be decided.

J: This is why you must decide BEFORE experience. The goal MUST be decided prior to every situation.

Your mind must be trained to dissolve conditions preemptively.

Otherwise, your experiences will continue to demonstrate that you are victim to “chance,” because ALL goals you determine must take chance into account. Do not consider chance any longer. It does not exist.

M: I have no idea what’s going to happen until it happens and even when I do hope for something to happen a certain way, it rarely ever does happen as I hope.

J: Hope that is victim to chance is a weak idea with little power to alter the dream. Because you believe in chance, your “hope” must always be victim to those conditions. Hence, there is always the belief it may not turn out as you would like and this merely gives CHANCE the power to prove itself in CONTROL.

There is nothing that happens in your world by chance. Believe this and take responsibility for every opportunity to HEAL. This allows you the ability to achieve a sense of peace in your dream that will only alter the conditions you have imposed.

Your goal is merely to fully engage your dream in the recognition that chance plays no part in your experiences. Do NOT allow the ego to teach you by remaining aware of the goals you “hope” for, simply let them go. They were built on the foundation of ever shifting sands, that only chance can provide.

M: You’re just saying that everything happens for a reason.

J: Just not any “reason” you could choose.

M: So I should live my life with no hope of anything?

J: Hope of awakening to your salvation brought me to YOU, because it is derived from CERTAINTY, although you continue to see it as merely a chance possibility, if possible at all. My voice lends credence to that certainty because I am a product of it. Your hope of anything other than this must remain victim to CHANCE.

M: Well, if you know everything with certainty, then why don’t you just tell me what to do all the time?

J: This is what you have called on me to do. Why then, do you fail to LISTEN?

M: Because I don’t believe in the certainty of you.

J: But it is certain that you will, because it is the only certainty you will ever KNOW. Your only goal in every situation is to rely on that alone. Your ultimate FREEDOM rests upon this foundation because it is much stronger than anything “hope” could ever bring.

The freedom inherent to God’s certainty is insured and grants the power to move mountains. This power rests with YOU and it is certain you will KNOW it when you surrender your HOPE for what you think you NEED instead of what is ALREADY given.

I Will React For You

2011-09-09T10:38:00.000-07:00

M: So how long do I have to experience this pain in my chest?

J: Until you recognize your complete and absolute innocence. Yet, as long as they are guilty, so must you be. Free them and you free yourself. Make no mistake, all emotional pain is your determination to bind someone to your conditions.

M: I don’t even know what I’m guilty of!

J: You dream of a world absent LOVE and such a “world” will always be guilty of proving what you demand be “real.” That is its only purpose and it will never veer from the direction you EXPECT. Such is the immense and infinite power of your mind. Yet, you have used that power to dream of ABSENCE and loss. You cannot escape the power of your mind, because you did NOT create it. However, you can learn to use it for its intended purpose.

God’s world proves ONLY love and ONLY the innocent can SEE it.

M: I will never believe I made reality.

J: You have “made” your dream a reality. You have split responsibility in two, giving to your world what you do not wish to claim for yourself. I teach that you are fully responsible for ALL of it.

You will only learn this by changing how you REACT to what you have denied. Not one part of your world is free of you, nor is any part of you apart from it. Accept every part as yours and free it from guilt. It is guilty of nothing because it provides ONLY what you are determined to see.

M: So how do I take responsibility for my reactions?

J: You believe responsibility lies not in the experience, but ONLY the reaction do you accept as yours. You have spent your life learning to perfect your reactions to chance. To learn that you are fully responsible for experience you must surrender ALL responsibility for reaction to ME.

The interval between experience and reaction you call “time.” IN time, your reaction has the capacity to teach you that your experiences are delusional, because there is NO separation between what you experience and how you react. Yet, only if you give ALL your reactions to me, can you learn this as TRUE.

You can only react through fear, because your fear made the experience “real” before the reaction entered your mind. I KNOW that ALL your experiences are delusional and, hence, I have NO fear. A changed reaction MUST alter experience, because you will no longer respond from what you think is true, but from what I KNOW is true. I know that, although NOTHING you experience is TRUE, NOTHING is based on chance.

M: In order to take responsibility, I have to allow you to judge my experiences for me?

J: In order to learn YOU are responsible, you must close the gap between what you experience and how you react. I will help you.

In a world you react to as “real,” there is no teacher free of your fear. I am not OF your world, because I have transcended the very fear that made it ALL possible. Why else would you have called on me, if you did not believe this were TRUE?

When you learn that ALL experience is a unified whole, ALL your experiences will be free of fear and you will react miraculously.

M: I can’t trust you, simply because you’re in my head.

J: If ALL experience is in your “head,” the most effective teacher must be there as well. How else will you learn to trust yourself, if not by trusting ALL your experiences to provide the TRUTH that is always with YOU? In the realization that ALL experience resides within you, there can be NOWHERE else to turn. This is an experience of great joy, because it means you are FREE.

M: But I thought you said it was only a dream.

J: And when you KNOW this, why would you NOT trust ALL your experiences to teach you this without fail?

M: What about my experiences of other people.

J: “Other people” clearly serve a profound purpose. Yet, you refuse to accept that purpose and so your experiences fail to teach the TRUTH. Accept that purpose and be saved. The reason you have NOT accepted me, is that you do NOT accept them. That is their ONLY purpose.

M: I believe they are more real than you.

J: Indeed. Yet, even this has not helped you to accept, which only demonstrates that “real” means nothing in your “world.” Accept THEM… and know ME, for I am free of delusion.

M: So their only purpose is for me to accept them?

J: How else would you finally KNOW yourself and why else would you now fail to understand who you are? This is a Law of Mind that you did not legislate and, fortunately, it is beyond your control to change. What you extend into the dream has the power to awaken the whole dream. But it MUST be extended to be KNOWN.

You have imposed conditions to a dream in which all must suffer. You do not wish for this, but you dream it is impossible to change and so, you have accepted this condition instead of those who have the power to SAVE you, because you granted it. Accept them without condition and awaken from the dream.

M: I cannot accept everything that people do.

J: And so guilt must prevail in a dream made mad BY guilt. Only total innocence can set you free to awaken.

M: You’re asking for unconditional love and that’s impossible. No one can do that.

J: No one need but you, because you imposed the conditions that make up your ‘world.” You have set the standards of what possibilities can be imagined and that is exactly what you SEE. If you have constructed the prison, then only you have the power to unlock the gates.

You believe your experiences are victim to CHANCE. However, if you look more closely you will see that every experience you claim to recall, as of a shadowy “past,” has led you to this point. Your learning has always been certain, but your denial of this fact is the sole cause of your suffering through the guilt of being LOST. You are NOT lost, because chance is only a condition of your dream. God’s reality is certain and hence, there can be no CHANCE of being LOST or of losing anything.

Conditions must be imposed when you imagine a “world” governed by the hopelessness of chance. Believe in your certainty and allow not one experience to be governed by the reckless and ungovernable. Recognize every experience as one of necessity and watch the conditions dissolve before your very eyes.

Your awakening is as certain as your CREATION. How could it be otherwise? Believe in that absolute certainty and take joy in what the dream provides, knowing you have granted ALL provisions. It will give you what you need, when you no longer give IT to chance.

M: So if my dream “provides” me with cancer, I should take joy in that?

J: There is no other means of dissolving the limits you provide except by realizing they do NOT limit you. You pick and choose what experiences you would learn this from and this merely delays KNOWING, because every experience holds the promise of awakening. I teach that all experiences have the power to heal centuries of limits when you allow me to react for you. Delay no longer. Each moment of a dream has the potential to wake you to a REALITY well beyond the farthest reaches of any “existence” you could ever dream as “real.”

You Always Get What YOU Need

2011-09-01T19:37:00.000-07:00

M: I feel so deeply alone, that it actually feels physically painful.

J: If you continue to rely on your ‘self,’ you will continue to miss the opportunities to heal your pain. All experiences invite healing. Do not decide for your ‘self,’ because you have no idea what you NEED and what you WANT has always failed to heal your suffering.

M: But when I really need you, you’re not there.

J: The union we share is infinitely indivisible. We can never part. I am always “there” and you will know that without doubt when you choose to listen. When you do NOT choose to listen, you will ALWAYS make the wrong choices in the belief that the correct advice was not available. Your world cannot give you that advice and nothing it has ever taught you can help you now.

M: You know why I hurt so bad.

J: Your incessant resistance makes you very hard to love, but your creation made you infinitely lovable. Do not decide for your “self” what any relationship means for you, because of your ‘self’ you could not KNOW and, repeatedly, your suffering is ONLY the belief that you DO. Until you KNOW, every choice made is the wrong choice, because it comes from fear. Fear knows NOTHING but itself and can only chronically replicate what it teaches. It has provided the same lesson for centuries and can teach nothing else.

Love knows NO proximity. No space or time. What it teaches is eternal, because it has no finite boundaries and is conditioned upon nothing but your decision TO love. When you think of her, do not think of what you gave up or lost, but think of what you gained and you have gained more than you are prepared to recognize at present. Yet, have faith that I see what you currently cannot. It will be shown to you when you are ready to SEE.

What you determine as loss, is always a success. However, what you claim as successful, merely keeps you lost. Those who cannot make such determinations on their own require guidance.

M: But that won’t bring her back. That won’t correct the mistakes I made.

J: No mistakes are made, only failed interpretations of success. I told you before that your every move is certain. There can be NO mistakes in the certainty of TRUTH and nothing that is REAL, is ever free of that condition. Why resist what is certain? Wouldn’t you rather learn from it?

It is certain that you would be here now and suffering through that which you have suffered through countless times before. Each situation seems different but, if you look closely, you will recognize that the suffering is ALWAYS the same.

You are getting closer to the full realization that you have no idea what you NEED. This will open you up to guidance. However, because of your resistance, we are not quite there yet, as you continue to guide your ‘self’ believing I am absent.

I am always with you. Seek me out before any decision is made, so that I can assure you of its certainty.

M: I cannot tell the difference between you and my own ramblings.

J: You will know my voice, because your heart will sing from every message given. Yet, it may not come as “words.” Messages await all your senses, when you are open to guidance. But do not await the message you look to receive. Receive the message that is given you to SEE. When you are fully open to guidance, such are the messages you will rejoice in.

M: Right now I’m sitting out a hurricane. What message is that?

J: That soon your suffering MUST end. Do you see that?

M: No.

J: Then you look to receive a message that cannot be given, because it is NOT what you WANT. What you think you WANT is never what you NEED. This MUST become apparent to you before you will actually ask and receive what you WANT.

You must know what you want before it can be given. The reason you have yet to know what you WANT is because you have NO idea what you NEED. As a result, when you find what you NEED, and you ALWAYS do, you throw it away, thinking it is NOT what you WANT. Only then do you realize, not long after, that it was indeed NEEDED.

You are at this juncture once again and you will be here many more times, until you decide that you DO NOT KNOW. When that decision is made, everything will come to you as NEEDED, because it is what you WANT.

All you have ever wanted, above all your mad chattering, is to find the deep and abiding peace of God. You have not found that peace because you mistrust those who show you the way. You believe it is NOT what you want and so, you are deeply in NEED of it right now. Accept that you do NOT know the way and the way will be shown.

M: Will I ever find love

J: If that is what you NEED, then you will have what you WANT. But there cannot be opposition, else one can only negate the other and you will have what you have now. Is love what you need or have you lost sight of it because of what you want?

M: I thought it was. Then I thought it wasn’t, but now I believe it is. I guess I really don’t have any idea what I want or need.

J: Hold firmly to the thought that you DO NOT KNOW.

Contemplate it fully and consider it very deeply. When you finally give up deciding, the knowledge will come to you. However, if you do NOT yet know, then you still believe you can decide on your own and, hence, understanding will escape you entirely. KNOWING comes very simply from recognizing that you DO NOT KNOW. There is NO other way to accept God’s message than to decide that immediately. When that decision is finally made, and made fully, everything you NEED to know will become instantly apparent and your world will show it to you and you will rejoice in what you see.

M: So I just need to believe that I don’t know what anything is for? That’s it?

J: Yes, it is a very simple thing. Nevertheless, this simple task you resist with the gravitational force of ten trillion suns.

M: But it means giving up control of my life!

J: It means giving up control of your suffering. This is all your “life” has ever been, a dream in which the dreamer dreams he is at the mercy of forces beyond his control. A dream in which, decisions made, only keep the dreamer dreaming the mad idea that awakening is impossible.

M: So I shouldn’t decide to take vitamins or eat right? I shouldn’t decide to go to work or pay my bills?

J: Do anything you decide, but make no decisions out of fear. You must learn the difference.

M: It still hurts…

J: Do NOT run from your success by seeing it as failure. You do NOT know the difference. You have asked to learn. Do not decide for yourself what need be taught.

M: So I will always get what I need?

J: Always, without fail, no matter how you define it in the moment it comes. See everything as NEEDED and learn from the lessons that are meant ONLY for you

Only a Dream (pt.2)

2011-08-13T05:11:00.000-07:00

M: It’s damn near impossible to interact with the world as if it were a dream.

J: So the ego informs you, as it MUST. It cannot possibly see it as ONLY a dream, because its very existence is contingent on the dream being “real.” The eyes of the body cannot help a “self” that demands the body define IT. Your goal is to see beyond what the body’s eyes show you, because what the eyes see is not “there,” nor are there "eyes" that SEE.

It must no longer matter, because the body is as much a dream as the eyes that seem to prove the “world” REAL. If everything that you are aware of is ONLY a dream, all must be included and nothing excluded from that WHOLE. If the world is ONLY a dream, your body is also a part of that and, hence, the “self” that believes it is a body is itself ONLY a dream.

M: So how do I interact with a dream? If my life is a dream, how do I then live it?

J: Fear makes it REAL. There is NO reason to fear a dream, simply because it is NOT real. You have NO idea of what you would experience if you were free of all fear. This is impossible for you to comprehend because your “self” is nothing more than an aggregate of fearful THOUGHTS.

Therefore, to be absent ALL fear would result in your experiencing an absence of “self” and this is terrifying to you. I teach that God did not create a void. You voided what God created in your mind and replaced it with the meaningless. I assure you that when you dissociate from ALL your meanings you will not experience emptiness, but will be filled with indescribable joy.

M: I just dreamed up my children?

J: The ego manufactures experiences in the dream that support its being more than ONLY a dream. YOU must learn that it is ONLY a dream and this includes all the parts you have invested meaning in. You invest in many attachments and associations as meaningful. You must see them as ONLY a dream. Otherwise, you will sabotage your efforts to awaken by remaining victim to what is ONLY a dream.

The parts you “love” will hurt you and you will seek revenge and retribution, because love is not possible in a dream. Yet, it is much easier to forgive, when it is ONLY a dream. When the dream is forgiven in its entirety, you will awaken to your REALITY.

You are invulnerable to attack when it is ONLY a dream. You are free to engage all parts without fear, because, when you have come to realize it is ONLY a dream, you will no longer FEAR any part of what is NOT real.

When you understand that it is ONLY a dream, you will dance joyfully upon the stars until the sun rises and you reach out to embrace it. It is your dream, my brother, and it can be whatever you choose, because it is ONLY a dream.

M: Then how do I manipulate the dream to make it what I want it to be?

J: You can rule the dream, simply by allowing no part of it to rule YOU. Nothing more than this is necessary. You must see that no part of the dream can hurt you, nor have you need to protect from attack in what is ONLY a dream.

M: So when can I stop paying taxes?

J: When the whole is denied, the parts are free to victimize. Parts detached from the whole have lost purpose and engage in meaningless, chaotic pursuits. This is what your dream shows you. See it in WHOLE and the parts will fall away from your own awareness, because they are no longer detached from the whole and no longer need suffer through the purposeless activities that you have assigned. Until you see the whole as ONLY a dream, you will be antagonized by the parts in the mistaken belief that they can affect you.

M: Nobody else in the world acts as if this is a dream.

J: God did not create separate, disconnected parts. Only that which THINKS it can detach from TRUTH could “dream” of such a thing. Yet, it is ONLY a dream and TRUTH remains unchanged by your dreaming. When you awake, that will become immediately apparent. The only true joy you will ever experience IN your "world," is in realizing the TRUTH that you are not “there.”

M: So nobody is real? I dreamed them all up?

J: You are not “real.”

A mind dreaming it can be victimized by other separate minds, must learn to SEE what is NOT there in order to free itself from what it dreams can be done TO it. This is how it learns that everything done TO it is done BY itself.

M: Then why even bother posting this stuff on the internet, if my mind is the only mind?

J: To teach your “self” that the thoughts “you” think are no more “real” than the body you believe contains you, the world that you inhabit or the “people” that make up that “world.”

Thoughts that seek to represent and describe a dream world are as much a part of that dream as the images that seem to move around in it. The dream is no less whole than the TRUTH that you will awake to. The only difference is that the dream is NOT TRUE, but ONLY a dream.

I ask that you see the dream in its wholeness, so you are no longer victimized by disparate parts that can only oppose one another. Until you do, your thoughts about others are no more real than the images you see and claim as representing other minds. You are not “here,” nor are your thoughts, images, beliefs; nothing is “here,” because it is ONLY a dream.

A belief in “your” mind, as separate from the wholeness of truth, is as delusional as the belief in “other” separate minds thinking separate thoughts. Believing that your mind is “the only mind” is no less delusional than believing in other minds. There are no other minds, nor is there a mind that belongs exclusively to you.

M: Whatever happened to “I think, therefore I am”?

J: You have yet to THINK and, until you do, the thoughts you now worship will continue to demonstrate to you that you are delusional. You are dreaming and your thoughts are part of that. In fact, they are ALL of it. There is nothing else.

M: Well then, this discussion is a dream also. If my mind is delusional then so are you.

J: I am just your attempt at remembering amidst a soon to be forgotten dream. when you awake, I will be gone, because you will see that WE are one. When you awake, none of this will matter. None of it will have even “existed,” since there will not be a “time” when it could have been real.

The dream is exhausting you. You are very tired of dreaming that you ARE what you could NEVER be. Waste not a moment more of your precious mind on dreaming. Wake up and SEE the real world that God created in your name.

You are still there and God is waiting.

Only A Dream (pt.1)

2011-08-03T19:01:00.000-07:00

M: I worry that learning all this will paralyze me into complete inactivity.

J: You are learning that what you “do” has NO value. The “self” that demands value fights vigorously against this as a viable choice, because if its world has NO value, then neither does IT.

A dream can be whatever you want it to be, but NO part of it is valued, because you recognize it as ONLY a dream. To be “paralyzed” in a dream means you have failed to recognize it as ONLY a dream and, as a result, the dream controls you.

I simply teach that although you choose to be controlled by a dream, it is still ONLY a dream and you can choose to SEE it differently.

As I have said before, you can do anything you choose. However, every choice asserts VALUE and what you value you will idolize as “real” and forget that it is all ONLY a dream.

In a dream, there is no right or wrong choice, simply because ALL of it is ONLY a dream. No choice is more or less important than another, because every choice is made IN a dream.

The only real choice to be made is to awaken.

M: Well, this world may be nothing more than a dream but, in my dream, I have to make choices.

J: Make every choice in a dream, prove to you it is ONLY a dream.

M: I can’t just make valueless choices. In my "dream," I have to work to pay bills. My body has needs and must be fed and kept healthy. I have responsibilities and certain duties that I just can’t ignore.

J: You have idolized these choices as “real” and, hence, the dream controls you.

M: If I knew I were dreaming, much of it I wouldn’t do at all. I would simply change the dream.

J: Then why do you not do so?

M: Obviously, because I don’t believe it’s a dream. The world is real!

J: Indeed, choices become valued as necessary in a world interpreted as “real.” Your only option is to alter that interpretation. You have tried to make perception fit your plans.

You have given great value to specific parts of what you perceive, while attempting to devalue other parts. You have tried to deny and ignore. You have applied progressively greater control to what you perceive, often through anger and attack. You have cried tears of despair and begged the world to give you what you need. You have used chemicals to numb yourself to what you perceive and have sought to overhaul your constant suffering through idolizing pleasurable experiences.

Nevertheless, nothing has yet mitigated your suffering. None of these measures have worked and, if they have provided any relief at all, only a brief time elapses until your misery rises again to consume your mind. What more can you do? What other “choices” are left to you?

ALL of the options you have so far chosen demand your world be “real.” You have done many things to end your suffering in the dream, except realize it IS a dream and this is the only option left to you. I recommend you choose the only option that is guaranteed to work without fail.

M: So I should just tell myself every day that it is all “only a dream”? How will that help me to change the dream?

J: When you know it is ONLY a dream, the dream no longer controls you. Yet, you must recognize it ALL as ONLY a dream. No part of what is ONLY a dream can be of more or less importance than any other part. Otherwise, you will idolize specific parts as valuable and what is assessed as valuable becomes more “real” for you. This is the dream you now believe, and suffer accordingly, as “real.”

M: So I should not feel happy about some parts or sad about others? You want me to live a flat and emotionless existence.

J: On the contrary, I ask that you engage ALL of it with great joy and in deep abiding peace. I ask that you recognize that you do not “exist” IN a world. The world exists IN you.

M: So I should be joyful about war?

J: I simply recommend the means of escaping enslavement to what you believe “real.” You made war “real” because, in your dream, some parts are to be feared and hated. In your dream, some parts must be destroyed, else you believe they will destroy you. In your dream, you CAN be destroyed.

Accept it all as ONLY a dream and realize your infinite invulnerability.

To fully understand and SEE this is to experience a JOY that is beyond anything you have experienced or could even imagine experiencing. It is a freedom that offers infinite peace and a love that will encompass every part of your mind. For in this VISION is the realization that ALL suffering has never been “real” and, in understanding this, you can NEVER suffer again.

Yet, there is still another world for you to see. However, no “eyes” will show it to you because IT IS REAL. Words from the dream cannot describe its utter beauty and, hence, I cannot tell you what you will experience because there are no “dream words” that fit such a description.

Although, your dreaming does not suffice to keep you much longer from this experience. Because you REMEMBER, and have NOT forgotten, you have asked me to teach you again what you have always KNOWN.

It is only a breath away from you and waits patiently for you to accept its VISION.

But first, you must accept it is ONLY a dream and that is all that is needed to AWAKEN.

Bless What You Made Real

2011-07-26T18:48:00.000-07:00

M: Sometimes I get very tired of all this.

J: What I teach denies your egocentricity as TRUE and the self-concept you have come to rely on for EVERYTHING will strenuously resist that which denies its reality. This resistance completely exhausts you. Nevertheless, it will continue to fight against TRUTH until you are no longer AWARE of its resistance.

Then, you will NO longer rely on it for ANYTHING and you will be free of EVERYTHING.

M: It’s like now I find myself fucking up more than ever. I don’t believe I’m making any progress.

J: You still expect "progress" to demonstrate a reduction in some egocentric behaviors with an increase in others. Yet, this expectation is still contingent on a delusional self-concept that is totally ego-centered and looking for something that IT cannot find no matter how hard it tries. Hence, you have no means for which to measure progress. Allow me to measure it for you.

M: Well, have I made any progress yet?

J: In relation to your “world” none whatsoever.

In relation to God, your work is DONE.

M: But shouldn’t I see some results of being done?

J: The self-concept you invented demands “results.” Yet, because it is completely delusional, it will not SEE that your work is done and nothing more is needed.

It MUST always perceive a lack of progress no matter how much progress is actually made. No matter how far along you might be, every journey that begins IN your world must end IN death, because this is the ONLY progress your “world” offers.

Knowing this, does it make any sense in seeking truth IN your world?

Your “world” has NO awareness of TRUTH simply because it was made specifically to deny God and every specific detail you see is proof of that denial.

M: But I thought you said that I will see change in the world as I change?

J: Accept that you have made progress and SEE it!

Give to your world the TRUTH that the work is DONE. There is nothing more for you to do, because there was never anything that needed to be done. Your journey was accomplished, long before it began and your world can show you that, if you did NOT refuse to SEE.

M: But you’ve said that I have made no progress in the world.

J: In relation to the purposes you have given the world, what progress would you expect to see in relation to TRUTH? Do you expect the world to demonstrate that it has NO meaning or purpose? Yet, this is what you MUST see, for only it is TRUE.

Demonstrate to your world that this is TRUE and finally SEE its purpose.

M: I need a sign. Something to show me that I’m moving in the right direction.

J: Then arrange for the world to provide for that “sign.” Change its purpose and allow for what you wish to SEE. Bless, rather than FEAR, your world and it will easily and joyously bend itself to fulfill that purpose. In fact, it does nothing less than begs for this purpose to be given it.

Until then, it will continue to meet the purposes you intend to expect, because you have arranged it so.

M: I don’t have that kind of power. This is crazy!

J: And your powerlessness is demonstrated as expected and everywhere you look you find proof.

In your world, communicating with TRUTH must be “crazy,” because not one ounce of TRUTH is “there” to be found and this is why progress is ALWAYS expected, but NEVER seen. In fact, you believe your world seems to demonstrate a “regression.” Therefore, this is what you SEE as expected. You have commented on this to yourself many times. Why should you not see what you believe "true"?

M: But it’s not what I want to be true.

J: You receive as you ask. Therefore, if you SEE it, it must be WANTED. But you must ask yourself, why would you want it?

M: The world is going to hell in a hand basket. I have nothing to do with that. I’m not a world leader, just one person. What power do I have??

J: Only the power granted you by God, which is more than your world can withstand without changing completely and at once. It is yours NOW and NO progress need be made to achieve or attain what was granted YOU through your Creation.

You were not "born" IN a world, the world was born IN you.

M: So all I need do is “bless” the world. What exactly does that mean?

J: Free it from every purpose you ever demanded from it and then held against it when it failed to meet your expectations.

The world has NOT failed you, only the purposes you gave it, and continue to demand, fail you. They are not its purpose, nor are they yours. The purpose of the world is to be FREE of it. This is its one and only purpose.

M: Yeah, when I die.

J: Death is a purpose you gave the world that enslaves you to it. All other purposes you invent are contingent on this one FALSE premise. Every action performed, ever behavior you carry out, every goal or objective, is directly associated with your belief in a finite existence. Your world would be very different IF there were NO death because, in your world, your ONLY purpose IS to die.

This is why you hate what you have made, refuse to bless it and, hence, see it destroying itself before your very eyes. The tears of the world are yours.

The world suffers from what you have made of it and nothing more than that. FREEDOM from what you have made is contingent on blessing what you have made…

…and nothing less than that can ever wipe the tears of the world from your eyes.

The Planned Obsolescence Of Your World

2011-07-20T17:41:00.000-07:00

M: So if I’m sick, I shouldn’t go to a doctor?

J: The meaning you have applied to the body prior to sickness, subsequently determined sickness as a viable choice for the body.

The cascade of choices that now burdens you, evolved from the choice to make the body define what you ARE. Therefore, because of that fundamental choice, hence, you now have NO choice, but to be victimized by the body.

M: I don’t see any way that choice can be changed.

J: When you no longer SEE other bodies, you will learn to look beyond your own.

M: How can I interact with others if I do not see their body?

J: You have NOT “interacted” at all if a body is what you SEE. You have given meaning to images in your mind and that is what you interact with based on your specifications. Your superficial association to these concepts, has done nothing to save you from a hell of your own making.

However, you have encountered the spark of clear vision before. Yet, it was incomprehensible to a mind that demands only bodies CAN communicate and so, obviously, it was missed completely by your mind.

Until you see this spark in “them,” you will not experience it in yourself.

M: So Bodies should be meaningless to me? Including my own?

J: Little brother, your world only “exists” for you to see BEYOND it. It serves NO other purpose. Free “them” from the body and you free yourself. How can you claim “freedom,” while still seeing them in chains? Your mind holds them bound to what you would have them be FOR you.

You cannot experience heaven and still SEE hell.

M: How do I see this “spark” you talk about?

J: Look for nothing else.

M: But I don’t know what I’m looking for.

J: But you do SEE what you expect and this is what you always “look for.” Expect MORE and you will receive as you ask.

It is what you now look for, and SEE, that obstructs vision entirely. Surrender what “they” mean for you and vision will return. You are blinded by your own meanings. You fear the meaningless and immediately press your meanings into what you believe would be emptiness if you did NOT give it meaning.

God did not create a void and you need not fear chaos from what is devoid of ALL meaning. God filled the void with the meaning of TRUTH and that is YOUR meaning. Do not waste it, by associating with the meaningless.

The TRUTH is “there,” waiting to be revealed and all you need do is dissociate from what you believe “true.” This task is so simple that you will be utterly amazed at the freedom experienced when you FINALLY surrender what you think it ALL means.

The horizon is completely shrouded by your chaotic meanings. When you free yourself from these "beliefs," you will see beyond what you now imagine as “real.” It awaits upon a clear horizon, but you must first clear it of the meaningless in order to see the meaning that lies behind what you think is “true.”

Everything you SEE is meaningless and you MUST have faith that, once you let fall away all your shallow meanings and purposes, TRUTH will be made known to you. Infinite freedom is absolutely guaranteed by nature of your CREATION. This is what “Trust in God” really means. God gave you meaning and purpose. You replaced that with many purposes that are ALL meaningless.

You continue to trust in your own egocentric delusions, regardless of the fact that they let you down consistently. You were never meant to live this way. Deep down, beyond all your meanings, you KNOW this to be TRUE.

Your world is meaningless in every detail. Have faith in NONE of it, because your faith only hides the meaningless you superimpose upon the images of your mind.

M: I thought you said that relationships were meaningful?

J: Not as “you” define them and you define them as demanding bodies, because this is what you believe you ARE. If you do not know your purpose, how could you possibly understand the purpose of your relationships? I would suggest that when you think you KNOW, immediately recognize you are WRONG and wait for my answer to guide you.

M: I suppose there is a fear of not being able to function in this world if I come to believe the world is meaningless.

J: Why would “functioning” not improve upon learning that you are NO longer victim to the meanings that you have chosen to victimize you? When you are controlled by the meaningless, you obviously lack purpose and that which lacks purpose must believe in chaos, thereby, consigning itself to oblivion.

Believe that you are now…nowhere. NOTHING can exist, while being nowhere. Yet, you can free your “self’ from where you believe you ARE, if “where” you are no longer means what you thought it meant.

Your only escape from hell is to see it not “there.”

M: Everyone else believes it’s true. Everyone else acts as if the world were real!

J: Indeed and these are the images you believe you SEE. However, this allows you the opportunity to finally recognize there is only ONE MIND and a “world” perceived differently by six billion minds could NOT possibly be TRUE. It stands to reason, if it is not TRUE, then it cannot be “real.” Give NO meaning to “their” bodies and free yourself from your own.

You give your “self” many opportunities to understand that what you have made meaningful is simply NOT TRUE. How can what is false be “real,” merely by your giving it meaning? It must continue to be false regardless of what it MEANS to you and when it is NO longer meaningful, you will SEE that clearly.

SEE this and end ALL victimization from a “world” that you have given ALL meaning. It victimizes you because you have given it that purpose and it never fails to let you down.

M: If I step into moving traffic, I will be killed by a car. There is no other way to spin this.

J: I suggest you closely examine the instrument you use to measure an “outside” world. If the instrument is invalid, then what it measures must be equally WRONG. You employ a “body” to measure your victimization, but fail to see how the body is as delusional as that which it defines as “real” and perceives as meaningful. If the body is NOT real, how can its measurements be accurate?

M: There is absolutely no way I could possibly live as if the body were not real.

J: There is NO denying that the body is very meaningful to you. However, you have made it meaningful in ways that it cannot help you. Use the body for the planned obsolescence you intended.

See it fade before your eyes, because you no longer interact meaningfully with bodies, but with ONE MIND. There are NO relative meanings because there is NO relative world. To engage a relative world, as if you know what it means, is simply to engage nothing at all.

Is it any wonder you feel so deeply and utterly alone? As equally as the body does NOT exist for “them,” it does NOT exist for “you.”

When I gave up the world, TRUTH came to me without a moment’s hesitation. However, I gave up the world by blessing it wholly and completely. This meant that I no longer had anything to fear FROM it and so, it simply disappeared to be replaced by REALITY.

You continue to FEAR annihilation…while I offer you eternity.

M: How do I interact with ONE MIND?

J: Never accept a thought for yourself, because NOT one thought you THINK is true. Carry out your “days” with this ALWAYS in mind and be amazed at where it takes you. Do not fear the meaningless, because it is only your fear that gives it meaning.

Open your “self” to God’s meaning and the meaningless will simply pass from existence and be NO MORE.

Its obsolescence is planned and YOU are part of that plan.

The Surface Ripples of Your Mirage

2011-07-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

M: If everything is meaningless, I still don’t understand why I should do anything at all.

J: If everything you SEE is meaningless, and I assure you it is, then it makes NO difference what you “do.”

However, make one choice over another and you have applied, and perceived, meaning where NONE exists…and you will always suffer from your choices. In fact, ALL suffering is nothing more than this.

M: So I should just go through the motions of living and not give a damn.

J: Has your “caring” make any difference to what you SEE? Do the meanings, you superimpose upon your world, make IT a “better place” for you? Do your preferences help or hinder you in extracting “happiness” from your world? Have your choices ever benefited you in achieving consistent “happiness”?

You have no idea of your purpose, but you desperately demand life mean something.

Yet, it is your meanings that have “damned” you to a purposeless life.

M: Sometimes things are good, sometimes not. That’s just how the world works. That’s just the way it is. I can’t change it, I just need to accommodate to the way things are.

J: You have “accommodated” to nothing but your own purposeless insignificance and your world obeys that command and shows you exactly what you ask to SEE.

Even now, you are filled with resentment in preparation for attack. You believe your attacks are justified and meaningful, because of what was “done” to you. However, you see only the surface and have not yet achieved the capacity to see beyond your little fears. If you could see below the surface ripples, you would be instantly relieved by how meaningless and absurd your beliefs really are, making ALL your actions on your “world”complete and utter nonsense.

Under the surface, you would clearly see that nothing could be “done” to you and that you are completely invulnerable to attack.

M: So how do I see deeper?

J: Recognize that nothing on the surface MEANS anything at all.

If you continue to allow the “reality” of surface conditions to distract you, you will not go deeper. As long as you give meaning to the surface ripples, you will fail to understand the deeper currents that originate from TRUTH.

M: So I should just pretend that the world doesn’t exist? Just act like it isn’t there at all?

J: It is NOT “there at all.” There is NO need to pretend. Your rendition of the “world” is entirely your own. Therefore, it cannot exist, because what you SEE is a product of FEAR. Your CREATION had absolutely nothing to do with fear, but it has become EVERYTHING to you. Your “world” can only conform to your request.

That is its only purpose.

M: But I see other people share in my “rendition.”

J: Why would they NOT conform to what you demand? You require fear and they obey your command. They may seem to fear in ways that are not of your choosing but, make no mistake, not one “person” in your world is without fear.

Exactly as you command.

M: But they can make up their own minds.

J: NOT in your “world.” In your world, they do as YOU EXPECT.

Have they let you down so far? Do they not meet your expectations?

M: So if I no longer expect fear, they will demonstrate that?

J: They will provide only what you expect. Nothing more, nothing less. If you no longer expect fear from them, why should they continue to provide it?

M: Because they make their own choices. I don’t tell anyone what to think! They do what they want!

J: It matters NOT what “they do,” because you only SEE what you expect to SEE.

What you expect to SEE is fear and “they” never fail to meet that NEED. That is the purpose you have given them and the meaning you seek to find. You always find what you seek, because your seeking demands it be THERE to be found.

The mind perceives everything IT makes as “real,” because it was made TO be perceived. You only PERCEIVE what you give meaning to and you gave it meaning in order to PERCEIVE it as “there.”

Even though it is ONLY a mirage, a thirsty man will perceive the oasis BECAUSE he desires water. If he was not dying of thirst he would SEE nothing, because nothing is “really” there.

The mirage you make real, was made to support death. When you no longer BELIEVE in death, the mirage you made to support death will simply vanish. What you will SEE then is beyond imagining, because what you now imagine is a world of death that has become very “real” for you.

You will not seek out the meaningless and so you make meaning were none exists. Nevertheless, images made from fear are made to fail, because fear is meaningless. What God Creates does NOT fail.

M: So I should not expect anything from anybody, because everybody is a mirage?

J: You can expect anything you desire. Yet, oddly, what you now desire is fear. Hence, this is what you SEE. Why choose to see fear and war, when you could just as easily choose love and peace?

M: I just don’t believe I have that kind of a choice.

J: And the world reflects this belief. In your world, “belief” is a useless commodity. Your only choice is FAITH, because ALL belief is delusional.

You made the mirage “real” and then determined the mirage created you. Yet, if it is a mirage then, just as there can be NO death, there could never have been a “birth” either.

It is ALL equally meaningless. Not one tiny molecule holds ANY meaning or purpose. SEE it as such and learn its purpose.

If the mirage did NOT create you, then your belief that it did is an error of epic proportions.

However, it is still an error that can be corrected if you will allow me to show you how. But first you must let go ALL that you find meaningful. You cannot pick out parts of a mirage as true, while others are false. It is the belief that you can, which keeps you invested in delusion.

You cannot determine true from false because the basic foundation of all you SEE is completely deluded and every guide you choose within the delusion is merely another rendition of your own mirage.

Only a guide from outside the delusion can lead you OUT of delusion.

Have FAITH in me, my brother…

The World Will Save You. But First You Must Set It Free

2011-06-30T03:38:00.000-07:00

M: You say that my thoughts of anger and attack create my experiences of the world. So when does giving up attack thoughts actually change those experiences?

J: Immediately. Without delay.

M: But that’s not what I experience.

J: Then you still believe holding anger and attack benefits you in some way and this determines what will be experienced. If you no longer embrace anger and attack as having a purpose, then absolute peace must result. Absolute peace is immune to fear and thus, does not experience what has NO purpose.

If absolute peace is not your experience then, although you may not feel angry in any particular moment, attack is held in reserve for when you decide it is necessary.

To believe that you can maintain your defenses AGAINST the world and still experience joy FROM the world is patently absurd. Nevertheless, this is exactly what you believe. You obsessively pursue your “happiness,” completely ignorant of the fact that you are seeking joy, while defending against it.

The world CAN save you, but first you must set it FREE.

This morning you woke with physical pain, which you believe necessitated anger, and reviewing your financial situation also provoked bitterness. Rest assured, you are the CAUSE of it ALL and your attacks can ONLY effect you. You look to various strategies in your world to help alleviate your suffering, but eventually all the “cures” you hope to distract from your suffering must fail, because they merely alleviate the effects while leaving the cause untouched. The effects only change form, but still continue to affect you until the cause has been changed.

I give you the only guaranteed cure. There is no other.

You cannot simultaneously experience war AND peace. You are either deluded or awakened. There is NO in-between state. Although you struggle to pick and choose what you believe will save you, it is ALL OR NOTHING. If there is NOT absolute peace, then there is relative conflict. Believe you have a reason for anger and attack and the world will provide what you expect and you will fortify your defenses against the very foe you ask for and receive as you have asked.

Look at your world. Is it not prepared for attack at all times, even while incessantly promoting a claim for peace? Is this any different than the thoughts that direct you on a daily basis?

M: So you’re saying that the guy who called me a “dickhead,” because I was stuck in traffic and he couldn’t get by, was my fault? I almost yelled “fuck you,” but didn’t. But it was certainly my immediate intention.

J: When you remove ALL fear and attack from your mind, if an attack occurred you would simply NOT realize it. Hence, it would NOT exist for YOU.

This is another way of stating that, since you could NOT know OF it, it simply could NOT occur. Until then, the world will support your need for defenses by always providing what you seek to defend against. The world will serve every purpose you give it and if you wish for attack to be its purpose, it will conform to those specifications with complex exactitude. Every tiny detail you experience in your “world” MUST conform to your specifications as naturally as a field of wheat bends to the direction of the wind.

M: So you’re saying that if I banished all fear and attack from my mind, I could NOT experience them? Even if they happened?

J: Indeed, how could you experience what you are unaware of when, in fact, it is what you “know” that establishes your experience of a “world”? How could what does NOT exist “happen”? What you are NOT aware of could never “happen” for you, because you would NOT experience it.

Hence, everything you presently experience and “know,” is only experienced because you maintain diligent awareness of a delusional past and everything in your world conforms to this exactly as your MIND commands. When you know TRUTH, delusions will never again be experienced, because TRUTH does NOT conform to anything you “know” from a PAST, because you will NO longer be aware of such a “time.”

Fortunately, TRUTH is eternally free of YOUR delusions.

What you now “know” is war and this is what you have deluded yourself into expecting. Your thoughts conform to this PURPOSE and your world obeys accordingly.

M: So if I just change my mind, the world will change with it?

J: You find this incredible. Yet, just this simple equation has the power to instantly deliver you from your self-imposed HELL. There is nothing more than is necessary to know the Peace of God. There is NO need for complicated scriptures or convoluted ideological premises. There is NOTHING in your world that can save you, since your formulated you world to keep you in HELL. You have given it NO other purpose than that.

The only way to escape the suffering of your world is to COMPLETELY change your mind about it.

Yet, this change must be complete and total, encompassing and embracing everything you SEE. Nothing can be left out of this equation; otherwise, you will pick and choose what suits your preferences and it is what you PREFER that has locked your mind firmly into the suffering you’ve come to expect and receive…exactly as you ask.

M: So I can have no preferences? I can make no choices?

J: Cease to make choices based on your deluded preferences and SEE what the world is really like. Your preferences have blinded you to TRUTH, showing you a deluded world that makes no sense and seems consistently against you. This makes everything you SEE meaningless. God did NOT create you to experience that which is meaningless. Nevertheless, this is what you base your choices on and your ONLY purpose in the world has been to prepare for the attack that you expect MUST come. How can this not be HELL? How can you not suffer from preferring the meaningless to the infinite meaning God has bestowed upon you?

Your “world” is proof that you have NO idea of your TRUE value, because IT holds NO value and you have unequivocally accepted that. I ask that you accept that it is ALL meaningless and be free from your self-imposed hell.

Set the world FREE from your meanings and awaken to the absolute peace of HEAVEN.

Free Your MIND From What "Matters"

2011-06-24T18:30:00.000-07:00

M: How can I possibly function in a meaningless world? If the world is meaningless, as you say, why do anything at all?

J: Nothing is ever done. Nevertheless, you often take pride in your accomplishments. It makes NO difference what actions you make the body perform or what behaviors you deem superior to others. You may choose to fully engage or disengage entirely from certain aspects of your “world,” but both decisions must result in suffering, simply because neither decision can give meaning to a “world” empty of ALL meaning.

Suffering originates from the choice to seek meaning where NONE could ever exist. Your world is the result of chaotic actions that have done nothing to alleviate the meaningless and only continue to reinforce what is NOT there. You give it all the meaning it has for you and never do you consider that you could be mistaken in your attributions.

It makes NO difference how you function in a meaningless world, since each engagement with the meaningless must be equally as meaningless as the next.

M: So how do I engage a meaningless world?

J: By realizing that it makes NO difference.

M: But if it makes no difference whether or not I go to work, I would lose my job.

J: What you determine as meaningless in your world only reinforces some other aspect as more meaningful. I teach that it is ALL meaningless.

In a meaningless world, the choice to “work” is as meaningless as the choice NOT to work. ALL actions and inactions in a meaningless world can ONLY remain meaningless. You would not avoid specific actions if you did not feel your avoidance was meaningful. Yet, the choice to disengage certain parts of your world is as meaningless as the choice to engage.

You may continue to twist and bend the meaningless in order to extract some purpose for your ‘self,’ but this only supports your fabricated delusions of a “reality" that is simply NOT there. You will NOT find a purpose in NOTHING, although you have become quite adept at pretending you have made something out of nothing. It is still NOTHING.

M: So what do I do?

J: It does NOT matter. This is the realization that you struggle against every day, in all your attempts to pick and choose what matters to YOU and suffer through what does NOT.

You could choose to stop what you are “doing,” but that would only assert that the something you sought to avoid was meaningful enough to provoke an escape.

Such decisions need not be made and this is the freedom God grants, but you have yet to accept. You were not CREATED to make decisions, but to KNOW. The fact that you continue to make decisions indicates you do NOT KNOW and must continue to suffer through all your meaningless decisions.

M: So I should just continue to do what I’m doing?

J: In a meaningless world, nothing could be done that would make any difference to that world. Changing behavior only gives meaning to the behaviors you discard.

Until you realize that ALL actions are meaningless, you will continue to do much, but will suffer through what is never accomplished. There is NO reason to suffer in a meaningless world when it is SEEN for what it is. Free yourself from your own meanings.

M: There are some things more meaningful to me than others. But, you’re saying none of it matters?

J: It is what “matters” that constructs the world you experience, but only in opposition to what does NOT matter. However, what does NOT matter one day, becomes extremely important the next, while what once mattered is suddenly left behind only to again rise to importance on a later date.

Your changing mind is what determines your changing “world.” Yet, you believe it is a changing world that victimizes you and fail to SEE your part in perpetuating that chaos. Make NO mistake; your part is the only part that IS meaningful. Nevertheless, because you do NOT know your part, you have minimized yourself into petty insignificance and thus, seek for a purpose outside yourself.

Your mind is more powerful than a billion worlds combined, because it is from your mind that ALL worlds are formed and ALL effects conform perfectly to their cause. Free your mind from what “matters” and free your world.

M: But wouldn’t my indifference make things worse? Isn’t indifference the problem with the world.

J: Indifference is impossible to an egocentric mind intent on determining what is right or wrong by demanding thoughts compete against each other.

Indifference means no choice need be made, but you choose between opposites and then claim you are indifferent to one, but always against another. War is IN your mind and not IN your world. By holding one thought in opposition to another, one belief as opposed to another, one image against another, you experience a “world” in chaos. Only one choice can be superior to its counterpart and so, achieve your attention. This only asserts both as “real,” but only when pitted against each other. This is NOT indifference, but ignorance. Ignorance finds meaning where NONE exists and fights to assert its choice as the RIGHT choice. Meaning in your world is always an attack based on opposing choices.

Surrender your right to choose and every choice will be the right choice.

M: But I have to make decisions every day. How can I possibly not make choices?

J: By realizing you do NOT know and allowing the choice be made for you. If you could only let go your demand to decide for your ‘self,’ TRUTH would envelop you like a warm wool blanket on a cold winter day. Set aside the belief that you know right from wrong, what should be done or not done, what is meaningful as opposed to meaningless. Give up the battle and allow yourself to be guided to peace.

You need NOT have faith in what I teach to learn it is TRUE. Simply test it by surrendering faith in what you KNOW as “true” and see what happens. No matter where you are or what you are doing, discard what you think matters and experience the infinite Peace of God.

The Certainty of YOUR Uncertainty

2011-05-02T06:14:00.000-07:00

M: I cannot ignore the demands of the body and the body will often interfere in receiving your message.

J: Such is the problem as you have arranged it. Yet, Christ Consciousness is simply not affected. In fact, Christ Consciousness SEES the problem ONLY at its cause and ONLY this dissolves the problem instantly. The body is cause of NOTHING. Yet, you see it as cause of everything.

If you could only realize how close you are to the certainty of TRUTH, you would laugh at ALL your bodily complaints.

M: Sorry, but I don’t in any way feel close and I don’t have any idea what “Christ Consciousness” is.

J: This is only because you remain transfixed by your uncertain “ideas.” Make no mistake, your body is nothing more than an idea in doubt and it need not be a problem to your mind, unless you so choose. Christ Consciousness makes NO such choices and thus, experiences NO problems. Christ Consciousness experiences everything as IDEA. It is in complete control because it recognizes itself as SOURCE and ONLY from that recognition, no control is necessary. When you no longer doubt what you are, all problems dissolve instantly. How could they not?

M: So what must I do to achieve Christ Consciousness?

J: There is nothing that need be DONE because there is nothing to “achieve.” Therefore, there is NOW no need to choose.

M: What? How could I do that and continue to function in this world?

J: Allow ALL choices be made for you from CERTAINTY. Christ Consciousness makes no choices because it lives in absolute certainty. In certainty, there is NO NEED to choose. Every thought you think MUST be in the mind, because it has always been certain that you would think it. Therefore, obviously, it follows that every action is performed as it MUST. Certainty is infinite, regardless of your choosing to be uncertain through a delusion of finite “time.” There is no disparity between the certainty of your mind and the body’s acting in accordance with that certainty. In the certainty of Christ Consciousness, no choices NEED be made, because all choices have been made as only they could have been made.

Every choice you have ever made rests as purely in that certainty as the words you type on this page.

M: So if every choice I’ve made was certain, why should I now cease from continuing to make choices?

J: It is certain that you will come to a point in your learning in which choices are seen as unnecessary. NOW it is no longer necessary to make choices, even though unnecessary choices were made before this was certain. However, it is also certain that you will reject certainty and continue to make unnecessary choices in resistance to IT, because you have no comprehension of NOW. Christ Consciousness is certain because it is NOW. Yet, for NOW, you remain uncertain and this is apparent by the choices you THINK you make.

Nevertheless, these choices are NO LESS certain, since certainty does NOT conform to "more" or "less." TRUTH is not absent just because you THINK it is and, because of certainty, you are never… not NOW.

M: So I have to be in the present moment to be in Christ Consciousness?

J: A “present moment” is contingent on there being a “before” and “after," which is no different than "more" or "less." Certainty makes no such distinctions. Therefore, Christ Consciousness can never be a “present moment,” because choices require “time,” while certainty has NO need of it. Delusions ONLY occur when certainty is resisted and your ‘world” is clearly a product of uncertainty.

Yet, the paradox that your uncertainty cannot collapse is that there is NO uncertainty.

M: What if I choose not to resist certainty?

J: It is certain you will make such a choice. Just not… NOW.

M: So when will I be certain?

J: Upon recognizing that there could NEVER be a “time” in which you were uncertain.

M: But I thought you said I was uncertain before now?

J: Uncertainty is delusional and, by nature of that, it does not NOW exist.

M: So I’m delusional?

J: Certainly.

M: These word games of yours are confusing.

J: The “words” are yours and confusion is a product of the uncertainty your “words” symbolize. Your words only take you so far, because they MUST ALWAYS symbolize uncertainty. God’s certainty has NO need of words and, therefore, neither do you.

The Power of Your Mind

2011-03-17T07:41:00.000-07:00

M: How do I deal with boredom?

J: Extract from your world the expectation that of itself it holds any value that you would seek to possess. It holds nothing and can give you nothing, but what YOU provide and ask for. If you give it joy, then that joy is yours. If you give it pain, pain is what you will find when you look for it. “Boredom” is when you ask for what you have NOT given. To “deal with boredom,” simply give the world what you want and YOU will have it. NOTHING leaves your mind.

M: But I want joy.

J: Look on your world. If you do NOT see it, then you must be confused in what you want and ask for something else. Make no mistake, the reflection is always perfect, but if you are confused then this is what you will SEE. You see what you want, but rarely do you know what you want and this is why you see chaos.

M: You want me to deny reality!

J: You cannot “deny” what you made REAL. I merely ask that you accept that you ARE maker. God is not a part of your “reality,” because you MADE it to exclude TRUTH. The Reality of God is infinitely inclusive and, although you believe you are “here,” in TRUTH, you have never left THERE.

In accepting your role as maker, you accept complete invulnerability. What can harm the weaver of the dream, unless he was to weave his own death into the tapestry? But why would he, in knowing it is HIS to do as he please. This is exactly what you have MADE and, because it is yours, you embrace it as “REAL” simply by denying its origin. There is no need to differentiate between real and illusion in God’s world. Only TRUTH can ever BE, which is inherent in you by nature of your BEING. Yet, you do not KNOW who you are in TRUTH, but only who you IMAGINE yourself to “be.” If it is not TRUE, how can it be REAL?

M: Okay, so I made death. What about love? What about all the good things in this world?

J: It is all yours. Value none of it!

It is nonsense to consider HEAVEN co-existing with HELL. How can one who has come to expect moments of HELL, ever experience infinite joy? Your brief episodes of diluted pleasure are a poor substitute that has NOT sustained you and can NOT sustain you. Have you NOT learned this yet? How many more centuries of suffering must you endure before you LEARN.

Your “love” is conditioned on the expectations of HELL, demanding you tighten your grip in ever greater control of what MUST eventually slip away and be NO MORE.

Yet, you believe that within HELL you can experience brief episodes of HEAVEN and so, HELL becomes the home you imagine REAL.

M: So I should NOT value love?

J: Your “love” is not the gospel I intended. Your love includes only to exclude and, thus, it must ALWAYS exclude YOU. It seeks control through conditions which, if not met, demand guilt and punishment to the offender. This is NOT God’s love, which is what you were Created FROM and is what you ARE. Exclude any part of the whole and you will have banished yourself from EVERYTHING because everything that is IN God is IN you. Be grateful that you could no more depart from Creation than the stars fall from the sky.

Nothing you value can be of any assistance to you, no matter how you wish to twist your “reality” to make it fit your dreams of “happiness.” Value anything at all and you keep yourself victim to what you MADE. Open yourself to KNOWING the value of TRUTH by releasing yourself from what you made valuable.

M: But then how would I function in the world, if the world meant nothing to me?

J: Infinitely FREE!

You are trapped in a confusing labyrinth of your own distorted meanings and, therefore, You do NOT know what anything means. You are so deeply fixated on your delusions that you fear learning THAT you are deluded. Nevertheless, there is a part of you that senses a deeper TRUTH. That part looks on the world and wonders how anything it sees could possibly be REAL. That part called on me and LISTENS to my message in the desire to LEARN the meaning of TRUTH.

I teach that you value nothing simply because there is nothing there. This is what you must learn by listening to ME.

M: Nothing there? Why do I experience it as real then?

J: Because the power of your mind is beyond what even you could imagine and EVERYTHING you do imagine denies and nullifies the power that God gave you. It is not OF you, it IS you.

By making a part of your mind value inadequacy, you make delusions that you value only to prove you are AS weak as you believe. This is what you believe you are and so, it is what you look for and find. It was NOT “there” until you sought for it and, by giving it TO your world, you “discovered” proof that your delusions were real. The proof was there before you found it, because you put it there by wanting it be found. Your mind MAKES it real and nothing is free of your mind.

The power of your mind is literally beyond belief. Yet, you MUST believe, otherwise, the TRUTH will elude you and you will continue to fabricate proof of what you ARE NOT and "discover" it everywhere you look.

Discover NO more delusions and allow your ‘self’ be taught by the part of your mind that desires KNOWING.

There is where you will find ME and the message I teach.

Imagining TRUTH

2011-03-02T17:59:00.000-08:00

M: It just seems impossible to do these things you ask me to do

J: For centuries, this has been your grievance, ignoring that I have asked that you do nothing. Yet, this you say you cannot DO. Therefore, what you DO fails to help you.

M: How the hell does one “do nothing”?

J: By deciding you know NOT what need be done. Nothing more than that is necessary.

Here, in this writing, you do allow me to think WITH you because, by doing nothing, you are able to listen. You MUST learn to decide this naturally, else you will continue to make decisions on your own, contrary to your CALL for my help. You have called to me for centuries. Yet, when I answer your call, you are offended by what I offer, so deeply fixated on your need to DO MORE.

I am NOT offended. I only wait until I no longer offend YOU.

M: Writing this is different. I can sit still and listen. Life does not always allow for that time.

J: Life “allows” for what you decide and time is the means YOU have chosen for making decisions. You have given it NO other purpose. If you could only decide that “life” is nothing but an imaginary construct, that you are free to change at WILL, you would understand how easy it is to LISTEN. Yet, the NOISE you call “life” is what you insist on imagining. If you choose that instead, your choice makes it undeniably REAL for you. In 2000 years your imagination has given you nothing you NEED and in 2000 more it will provide the same unless you decide differently. Therefore, what do you wait for? When will you make the one decision that will FREE you from all decisions made and yet to be made?

Recall that when our discussions first began, we talked daily. But you turned away from ME, because you felt it was only YOU. This demonstrates how little you trust your ‘self’ while, ironically, continuing to fully rely on your ‘self.’

Such hypocrisy is NOT lost on you, but you have no idea how to correct it and so you continue to rely on that which you do NOT trust to correct that which your lack of trust makes REAL. I only provide another option, but you must still DECIDE.

M: But it’s hard to tell which voice is me and which is you.

J: You KNOW the difference between TRUTH and noise and you have always known. Truth is NOT of your making. The noise has always been yours, because it comes from a “world” of your imagining. Long before you ever imagined anything to take its place, TRUTH was all you KNEW. Nevertheless, what you now imagine is so powerful, and seemingly, beyond ALL doubt that noise appears to be the only TRUTH you CAN experience. You KNOW so much more.

Because you decided that what you imagine is REAL, you will NEVER deny what you SEE. Therefore, it is now time for you to imagine TRUTH, otherwise you will never decide to see IT.

M: But I thought you said truth was not of my making?

J: Yet, you can imagine IT IS. Otherwise, if it is NOT yours, you will be offended and NOT accept what is NOT OF YOU. In fact, this you must do or you will only allow yourself to be directed by the noise that gives no direction but to chaos. You will experience TRUTH when the noise no longer distracts you, because you NO longer imagine it TRUE.

TRUTH is of God and is a combined effect of ALL Creation. Seeking to judge between what might be true and what might NOT, seems to remove you from this effect, making you cause of something else. Such judgments only make delusion real and that becomes your REALITY instead.

M: So how do I “imagine” truth?

J: By imagining nothing else.

M: But if I don’t know what truth is, how would I know if I’m imagining it?

J: You will know it, because it is NOT of you, but has always been YOURS.

M: So pretend nothing I see really exists?

J: It has been your “pretending” that grants existence to the fragmented pictures of your imagination. Why would pretending the inverse be more difficult? You pretend that fear, death and suffering are REAL. I merely ask that you pretend otherwise.

M: So I should just pretend my body does not exist? This is ridiculously impossible.

J: It must be “ridiculously impossible” to a mind that imagines it only “exists” by virtue of a body. The body is the reference point for every thought you invest in. Therefore, not one thought is free of the body’s claim for the mind’s reason for existing. The "ego" is NOT who you are, but you believe it is and that decision makes all the difference between God's joy and your suffering.

Consider your abstract inventions such as “trust,” “compassion” and “freedom.” These concepts are incomprehensible, except within the context of a body that can incorporate such beliefs through “behaviors” and “actions,” thereby, making them completely contingent on pretending that your experience of a body is REAL. This is why your “sciences” inform you that only 10% of the “brain” is accessed and utilized. Yet, even in this accurate evaluation, the body’s “brain” is inaccurately identified as source.

Nevertheless, the power of a mind, dissociated from reliance on a body, is a power granted by God. You can pretend it is NOT real, but this does nothing to alter the fact of its TRUTH.

You have yet to assert your God given free-will, because such a WILL is unavailable to the mind that is victim to a body of its own imagination. Yet, although you pretend it is real, you can pretend the opposite. I am free of all bodily considerations and this is why I am the only teacher who KNOWS and can teach what is NOT KNOWLEDGE. This is all I have ever taught.

M: So how do I pretend the body does not exist?

J: By dissolving all FEAR of losing it. You cannot lose that which is a product of “pretending,” simply because it never existed in the first place. Your FREEDOM lies exclusively in this alone.

You Limit Yourself

2011-02-28T10:05:00.000-08:00

M: What way should I live, behave or act in this reality I supposedly created?

J: Living, behaving and acting have no influence on your "reality." Therefore, your question is really how should you THINK, since only that determines your reality. Your thinking will always be based on BELIEF and belief is always determined by what you teach your self. This makes the teacher very significant to understanding Truth.

You are choosing to BELIEVE that I will provide you the knowledge you need to transcend what you have always thought and no longer appreciate. And since this is what you want, this is what your talking with me must eventually do because it is certain. Nevertheless, you continue to doubt that certainty.

M: So by talking to you I will transcend myself?

J: You will transform your thoughts about your “self” and begin to THINK of your “self” in other ways, which will result in those ways defining you and, therefore, you will SEE DIFFERENTLY. This process may continue on for some time, because of your delaying, but the result is certain.

M: Why don’t you just tell me who I will become and save me the time it takes to have these discussions?

J: The answer to your question is based on time and when you discard your concept of "self" you will subsequently discard time, which includes the "time" this is taking to know "who I will become." Therefore, I cannot describe for you what the future will be since the language that defines "you" is entirely based on time. What you "will become" is currently beyond your reach and requires that you learn first what YOU ARE NOT. This is what you have called on me to teach you and I teach nothing else.

M: You're really blowing my mind!

J: Only due to the fact that you believe you are a mind that believes it is limited by "time." Otherwise, all of this is natural and based on freedom from the laws you conceived to limit you IN time.

M: Wait a minute, what laws did God create?

J: God does not create laws, as laws LIMIT. Laws assert, “you must…” God would not make such assertions because God is not LIMITED in any way and "commands" nothing. Perfection needs no "control." You, however, believe you are imperfect and LIMITED, and that is how you have decreed "you must" be. LIMITATION is your law, NOT God's.

M: So I have created laws that limit me and cause me not to want to be limited?

J: You limit your Being through the application of belief in a limited “self.” And this has always required you desire freedom from your own limitations, although you continue to deny your role in applying the very limits that keep you captive to a "world" outside your mind. Freedom is contingent on understanding that you limit yourself. Nothing more than that need be learned. Nothing more than that do I teach.

M: Why can’t I have unlimited freedom?

J: Once again, you can have whatever you want, whenever you want it.

M: I don’t believe that this is helping me, nor do I believe it could help anyone else, since the only answer you can provide is based on my choosing some course or decision, that is related to the “time” concept. But when it comes to anything outside of time you are of no help because I can’t understand anything outside of time. So why even have this discussion at all?

J: That is an appropriate question but, again, it has already been answered.

Because you seek to transcend your own limitations. In essence, what you are seeking is to be God, which, as I said before, you ARE.

M: But how can I be God, because God created me, I didn’t create God.

J: God gave you the gift of BEING, however, you missed the point of that Gift and substituted your delusions of what you wanted instead. Yet, now you believe this substitution a curse and seek to know why you did NOT accept what God extended. If only you could understand that this curse is simply your guilt at failing to accept, although the Gift could NOT have been refused or it would have NOT been offered. Your BEING proves your acceptance TRUE. Yet, it is your guilt that leaves you feeling as though you are still absent of what could never have been refused.

There is no need to differentiate between God's Gift and what you substituted. Simply by extending God's Gift, you will finally confirm, TO YOURSELF, your acceptance and the Gift will again be experienced as YOURS.

God does not differentiate, as that would negate perfection. You differentiate and, therefore, clearly demonstrate your belief in imperfection. This belief limits you and requires judging your self-imposed limitations, not on infinite freedom, but on conceptual freedom, which is NO freedom at all.

An Invitation To Truth

2011-01-03T17:42:00.000-08:00

M: This is driving me crazy. I’ve no idea what will happen next.

J: Insane expectations, by their very nature, demand insane experiences, which are worthless and of NO value. "What will happens next,” is also based on your expectations, unless you decide to invite TRUTH.

Until then, you will always get what you expect.

M: I didn’t expect any of this. This took me completely by surprise.

J: It must have been expected; else it could NOT have been experienced. You have yet to truly experience “surprise.” However, when you do, it will mean that you have discarded your expectations, thereby, declaring an end to CONTROL and extending an invitation to TRUTH.

Not one experience you have ever encountered has been free of YOUR expectations, based on the chronic preparation that comes from your incessant need to predict YOUR future. Hence, not one experience you have ever encountered is TRUE. Truth, by its very nature, does NOT conform to expectation. Contrary to all the many ways your “world” seeks to prepare you to expect it, TRUTH cannot be prepared for, which means YOU need do nothing.

M: The truth of this situation is that my marriage is ending.

J: Delusion has NO beginning and what has no beginning can have no “ending.”

Love contained and limited by delusional boundaries, may have value in a delusional world, but how can a delusional “world” be TRUE? And can your "love" then be true if nothing else is? What does NOT invite Truth has NO value and serves no purpose in “time.”

Delusion, by its very nature, is not REAL. But there is still time to realize this, since the delusion of time exists until TRUTH is invited. Although you deny this as fact, such is the purpose YOU have given to “time.” It has no other reason to exist, but to make its existence obsolete. You made it REAL for this purpose alone. God does NOT know “time.”

M: Unfortunately, there is no time left.

J: How can one who knows NOT what time is for, accurately evaluate how much is “left”? You have yet to use time for its intended purpose. To do so will obviously result in time diminishing as eternity enters to take its place. Time must naturally collapse upon itself, when eternity unfolds in awareness. There will come a “time” when eternity is ALL you realize and time will be no more. The idea that “time waits for no man” is an obvious fallacy. For, indeed, time waits for YOU, because time is a construct of a mind encumbered by limitations that result in finite delusions. You are infinite ,as am I, and I assure you my brother, although your delusions make you feel hopelessly alone, we are in this TOGETHER. I will guide you to the others that wait for you.

However, this means that time is at your disposal, since you demand it, and only you will eventually dispose of it completely.

Dispose of your purpose for this relationship and every relationship and you are, thereby, using time for its intended purpose. Without the meanings you apply to your world, through which time is experienced, time can no longer contain you because you have no reference point from which it can be encountered. Without your meanings, “time” simply cannot be experienced. Let go of every meaning you have for every relationship you experience and use time to your advantage.

M: I’m pretty well forced to let go of my meaning for this marriage. I have no choice in that and I suppose that’s the problem.

J: You feel betrayed because your meaning is rejected. Yet, although it was reliable, and you remained loyal to it for many years, you still must determine if it was valid. To rely on that which is invalid is insane and this is why you currently feel that what you experience is “driving me crazy.” As long as you remain fixated on your expectations, or invalid meanings, your expectations will determine your state of mind and that will always reflect insanity. Free-will allows you a “choice” in this. You always have a choice.

M: If she wants out, then I have NO choice in that.

J: You chose it. This may not seem valid to you at present, because you are so incredibly short-sighted, but make no mistake, all that you experience has been chosen by YOU. If you could see as I see, you would know that your delusional “life “is but a brief insignificant moment in time, simply because time does not exist.

Therefore, what seems to be a series of choices, has always been the same choice. The choice to deny TRUTH. A choice that seems to be made over and over again, but was really only made ONCE. Now, all that is required is that you choose differently.

M: But how does this pertain to my situation?

J: This “situation" only requires Truth. Invite TRUTH to come and suffer no more from what “time” seems to bring.

M: But how do I invite truth?

J: Fully understand that you have NO idea what IT is. No more than this is necessary to finally understand IT and apply that understanding to every “situation” you experience.

When you think you “know,” you then feel obligated to apply this meaning to the meaningless, always ignorant of the fact that this is what made it meaningless in the first place.

Be still and allow me to show you what it means, because “I am the way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the father except through me.”

The Purpose of YOUR World

2010-12-07T10:54:00.000-08:00

M: You keep saying that I made the world. But how can that be when the world does not conform to what I want.

J: Do you KNOW what you want?

M: Sure. I want happiness.

J: If “happiness” is ALL you have wanted, then I assure you, your world would conform. Yet, if your “happiness” is delusional, then this will be reflected back to YOU, because you have extended it into the world and “there” is where you seek to achieve it. Make NO mistake, what YOU seek, the world must always provide. This is the ONLY purpose you have given it.

The world moves from one goal to the next, seeking salvation through what it possesses and accumulates, not what it shares. When possession is obstructed, “happiness” is replaced by depression and discouragement. You feel deprived and the world gives you limit and loss. You feel anger and the world shows you war. You experience guilt and the world demands punishment. You feel alone and the world is indifferent. You fear death and the world proves that you MUST die.

When you seek ONLY joy, the world must give this because you have allowed it that purpose. Yet, this has never been ALL that you seek and so, it is never all you receive.

You wish to be free of the world. I am teaching you to be free of your PURPOSE for the world. It will naturally follow YOU in its desire to be free. When Joy is ALL that you want, then by God, you shall have it, because it has already been given. Until then you will experience chaos and fear, but only because this is what your mind embraces. What you grab hold of as “truth,” will not leave you until the MOMENT you open your fist and let it go. Cling no more to the purpose you give to the world and the world will no longer cling to your suffering.

M: So you’re saying I don’t know how to be happy.

J: How could you, if you seek that purpose from the world? YOU have made a “world” that is cause of nothing, but has the ability to be origin of ONLY joy… if you so ordain it as TRUTH.

Yet, your world can NEVER make you happy, because this is NOT the purpose you give it. Its purpose is simply to deny you are cause and, therefore, this is the effect you seek, and always find.

M: So if I want world peace tomorrow, I can have it?

J: Instantly! In the blink of an eye. Whatever you want, and want completely, is yours for the asking. But it must be given completely to be received completely. You must want it completely and with NO doubt that both you and your world are worthy to have it. If you look to the world to teach what you want, you will want what you gave the world, which is incompletion and chaos.

The world KNOWS nothing completely. It is made up of parts, which are idolized as if they were the whole. It holds the function of salvation, but without the knowledge to save. Why do you deny it this KNOWLEDGE? Nothing in your world can save you because nothing in your world is saved and this is the purpose you have ascribed to it. Only when you extend salvation TO IT, will you be saved BY IT, simply because you GAVE IT that ONLY purpose. There are NO levels or degrees to TRUTH. It either is or is NOT.

M: So it’s just up to me. I’m the one who has to save the world in order to save myself.

J: Recognize that YOUR distinctions are delusional. There is NO “world,” nor is there a “you” IN IT. Making such distinctions is cause of your suffering. Yet, since the distinction is delusional, so is the suffering that attends it. Delusion, by its very nature, can easily disappear, simply because it was never “there” to begin with.

As long as YOU see salvation as separate from the world, will the world need salvation in order to save YOU. There is NO division, except in perception and perception was made to divide.

M: It’s egotistical to consider myself as some sort of “savior.” In fact, it borders on insanity!

J: It is the delusion of a separate ego that normalizes an insane world and finds what I teach preposterous. Yet an ego is what you THINK you are, but NOT what you ARE CREATED TO BE. A self separated from its world is useless and this is what you believe of your “self” and your erratic moods attest to this deep sense of inadequacy.

There is only ONE MIND and that mind has NO knowledge of an inadequate self. That mind is NOT delusional and, I assure you, YOU ARE that mind. Although you THINK you are confused and change your mind often, God’s thoughts ABOUT YOU are changeless.

M: What about other people or other minds?

J: You are NEVER alone and you cannot reach HEAVEN alone, but you can live in HELL by believing you CAN. Yet, neither do “they” understand what they ARE and so, they only support YOUR delusion as YOU support theirs.

I speak with you as I speak with them. Because I speak to only ONE MIND. There can only ever be ONE CHRIST.

M: I don’t experience the world as joined with myself. I experience it as separate from me. So how can I believe what you teach if I can’t experience it?

J: Belief ALWAYS precedes experience and what you believe is ALWAYS what you experience. A fallacy of reason believes that experience determines belief. ALL your suffering is hinged on this one central fallacy. But it is a mistake that can be corrected.

Your world persistently lies to you, yet you persist in seeking joy from IT by allowing it the capacity to deceive YOU. When will you learn the futility of this endeavor? When will you recognize that your exhaustion is a product of this seeking with no end? When will you SEE that the world has not the capacity to sustain you? And when will you give it that purpose?

I teach that ONLY God’s joy can sustain you and change your world forever. You do see this in my message, but you are so deeply entrenched in the ego’s fortifications, that your mind can concentrate only for the briefest of moments on TRUTH. You come in and out of focus, entranced by the world’s gift of momentary pleasure and for that substitution, TRUTH is all but a distant memory. Yet, make NO mistake, it is YOUR memory and it could no more leave you, then the stars could leave the heavens. It is certain you WILL remember.

Nevertheless, I am not dissuaded in the least by your mistrust. I will persist because the strength of my perseverance is given by God, just as God has insured the certainty of your remembering.

I merely ask that you test the message and SEE for yourself. Fully believe as I believe, only for a moment, and experience what awaits you.

The Conditions of Fear

2010-09-15T06:48:00.000-07:00

M: I feel what you teach causes me more stress. How can I ever meet the conditions you ask for?

J: I teach that it is your conditions that are cause of “stress” and all I ask is that you discard them.

M: How do I discard the conditions of life? I must eat, breathe, sleep, etc. If these conditions are not followed, I will die.

J: Truth has no conditions and requires nothing from you. Any conditions you believe necessary are entirely yours. TRUTH is of the mind and your “conditions of life” fail to alter IT in any way. It remains with you always.

However, if you believe your conditions are “true,” then clearly your “life” cannot be TRUE, because your mind was CREATED without condition. A mind conditioned on the needs of the body “must eat, breathe, sleep, etc.” However, a mind that learns that it is ORIGIN of the body eventually learns to be free of even these conditions.

This is absurd to you, because you have yet to learn this and therefore, you “must eat, breathe, sleep, etc” and have become very comfortable with doing so. These conditions do NOT concern me, nor do they concern you and for now, you must continue to compromise with TRUTH until you learn that TRUTH accepts NO compromise.

Your only task, and the reason you have called on me, is to discard the conditions born of FEAR. Until you do you will only remain victimized by your own conditions, because conditions are imposed from fear in order to LIMIT awareness. Awareness is entirely a function of mind and has nothing whatsoever to do with a body
.
M: So there’ll be a time when I will no longer require these conditions?

J: There can never be a “time” when this will be experienced, as long as time conditions your life. The body can never be free of time, because it adheres completely to those conditions. However, the mind IS always free and need not be chained to the conditions of time, but only when freed from the conditions of a body. However, your mind can never understand this as long as ALL thoughts are determined by fear. NOT one thought of your “self” is free of fear.

This is why you have always found my teachings preposterous, because NOT one thought you have is free or capable of FREEING you. A mind conditioned by a body in time must fear its own thoughts.

My thoughts are yours, but you are very frightened of what WE think. Yet, this is dissolving and awareness can only expand as fear recedes. Expanded awareness accelerates learning, because what I teach abolishes fear.

M: So I need to be completely free of all fear first.

J: In a world conditioned by TIME, there must be a “first” in order to realize a “second” and then a “third,” so that you can proceed further along the path of learning. This is also a condition you have imposed, but I’m quite willing to work with YOUR delusions for the sake of dissolving fear. Therefore, you are correct in that “first” you must be free of fear in order to learn effectively.

You have NO comprehension of a mind completely free of fear, because everything you comprehend is a product of FEAR. Your ideas of freedom are limited to your preoccupation with the body. How can a mind steeped in fear and preoccupied by a body have even the slightest understanding of FREEDOM?

I would suggest that you NOT seek to dissolve the conditions you demand to experience your ‘self.’ However, you may wish to identify the conditions you impose on others, since it is this, that has determined your own victimization from FEAR.

Recognize that any attempt to control your “reality” is an attempt born of fear. Allow TRUTH to be itself and do NOT interfere or impose upon that infinite purity.

Surrender Your Future And Be Free of the Past

2010-09-08T06:50:00.000-07:00

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

2010-09-01T11:25:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-26T18:25:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-24T09:14:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-16T06:21:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-09T18:25:00.000-07:00

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, 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

2010-06-09T18:16:00.000-07:00

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

2010-06-03T17:20:00.000-07:00

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

2010-04-14T17:54:00.000-07:00

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…

2010-03-25T18:11:00.000-07:00

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

2010-01-18T18:03:00.000-08:00

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

2009-12-18T03:27:00.000-08:00

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

2009-12-08T13:20:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-04T12:43:00.000-08:00

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

2009-10-06T15:45:00.000-07:00

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"

2009-08-29T04:58:00.000-07:00

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

2009-08-28T19:29:00.000-07:00

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

2009-08-26T15:03:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-03T04:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-31T20:41:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-11T03:20:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-10T05:05:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-05T14:47:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-13T10:12:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-12T12:42:00.000-08:00

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.

Exchange Your Predictions For Mine

2009-01-25T05:02:00.000-08:00

M: You state that I should not attempt to predict my actions and prepare for what I predict. So I shouldn’t prepare for anything?

J: Once a prediction is made, preparation limits what can be known, because the prediction is relied on exclusively as “truth.” You have allowed religion to predict your death as factual and thus, since you accept this as “truth,” IT IS SO. Such is the immense power of your mind and make no mistake you DO tap this power, yet, simply to magnify delusion.

In predicting “death” as fact, you only prepare yourself for fiction, which merely delays Truth. It is through this fictional content that you conduct your life in preparation for this strange idea that eternity includes within it your “mortality.”

In the mistaken belief that you move forward in “time” you merely move backward from Truth.

M: Well, I had to prepare to come to work today.

J: You have normalized fear of what you “know” and since this is NOT knowledge, your ego is very capable of adequately preparing for what cannot save you. In fact, it has NO other purpose.

It is what you do NOT know that you fear the most and this compels your most insane predictions. This insanity is evident in all your thoughts and behaviors. Nevertheless, you pride yourself on advancing forward, when in fact you simply remain in the past.

You feel that by predicting the future you can effectively prepare an escape from fear. Yet, in your predicting future escape, you only build on the fears of the past. In this way, there is no future, but only present fear demanding a way out.

Seek not to escape your mind through your predictions. Prepare for nothing and allow everything be revealed. Revelation asks nothing from you, but your complete vulnerability in the knowledge that you have NOTHING to fear.

Your experiences are as limited as your predictions prepare you for, because the ego only predicts from what IT knows. However, since it knows nothing of any value, the limits have been set to what CAN be experienced. This is why your experiences have become so utterly predictable and your suffering virtually repetitive.

Even love must be defined by your predictions because you fear this more than death. Fear always demands an escape. Therefore, in your attempts predict love, you merely seek to escape the fear of love and nothing more.

M: I don’t believe that I fear love

J: The mind completely free of fear has no NEED to prepare. In preparing for love, you immediately set about defining it and it is this prediction you are prepared to experience. Therefore, nothing more is available. This limits what is infinite by design, thereby making it a product of the ego, which was designed by YOU. There are no such limits to Creation and it cannot be prepared for.

Nothing the ego makes is without fear, because the ego was made from fear. Therefore, the purpose of your life is predicting ways to escape your fear of love. If there were no fear, there would be no need for preparation and love would be what it has always been before your fear defined it to be no more.

Love does not come from need and this is a limit YOU have set.

Therefore, love by its very nature MUST be fearful to exist in your mind, giving you the need to escape it. The world is your means of escape and it has no other purpose. You find many different forms of love in your world, all based solely on your predictions.

M: How do I “prepare” for my fear of love?

J: Your fear of love requires just as much preparation as death and religion evolved solely from this NEED to prepare you for both love and death. Both are deeply feared and your predictions are nothing more than seeking to escape fear.

Nevertheless, since you have also made fear, your predictions are not based on Truth and have never helped you.

Religion teaches that love certainly does exist, yet, not for those who “sin.” This is because “the wages of sin is death.” Religion attempts to prepare you for God’s love by predicting that you could never love another as God loves you. Therefore, from this delusion it makes sense that only God’s love is REAL, but NOT REAL for you. Your reward is death and you have made that very REAL.

M: So how do I overcome all this?

J: Fear is a product of your mind, as am I. Therefore, you have but to make the one choice to end all preparation by allowing my predictions to direct all further choices. Only if you allow me to predict for you, will everything be revealed. My predictions require no preparation because there is nothing to escape, so absolutely True are my predictions. All you need do is be quiet and listen, since nothing more has ever been required of YOU.

Thus, the only question is, when will you exchange your predictions for mine?

Overcoming the World

2009-01-18T18:30:00.000-08:00

M: What about 'evolution'? Where does that enter into your theory?

J: A mind that defines itself through an “outside” world must employ all means available to insure bodily adaptation to external conditions and limitations. The mind may envision adaptive measures for the body, but this only attests to the mind’s failure to “evolve” itself.

Your thinking is no different then what was thought before and this is why history compulsively repeats itself. This will continue until you choose a different way of seeing the world. Of yourself, you cannot make such a choice, since you feel bound to your beliefs. Yet, through correct guidance, the right choice is available.

If you continue to see as you do, do you really believe the world will change? As long as “eyes” see the world as IT IS, do you really believe you will act upon it any differently? As long as strength is determined by what you DO, do you really think you can DO anything more than what has been previously attempted to save the world? As long as you exist IN a “body,” do you really think you are free? These are the compromises you feel forced to make, but which are completely unnecessary.

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” is certainly true on face value. However, in the understanding that everything is a product of mind, this puts a new twist on an old parable. If there can never be change under the sun, you may wish to go beyond it.

M: I’m not sure I understand what that means?

J: Mind is not an effect of the world, but is cause. Nevertheless, you live as though victim to the world because you have determined that the world MADE YOU. Therefore, it is easy to understand how you would idolize “natural” processes as creating the world. This significant misinterpretation needs to be corrected; otherwise, you will continue to believe that you are victim to a “world” outside your mind.

Evolution fits well with your need to survive in the hope that you may live to SEE a better “world.” But, if with each new day, suffering is comparable to the day before, why would you wish to SEE it at all? Again, this contradiction you will easily correct by SEEING differently.

Every theory you hold regarding a “world” outside your mind must in some way incorporate belief in death and thus, survival. But if the world is a product of mind, your belief in death and the need to survive, must be reinterpreted because it, too, is a misattribution. This is the true meaning of “overcoming the world."

M: What do you mean history repeats itself?

J: Look closely at the “history” of your world and you will see the compulsive repetition of fear manifest through different bodies, but all conforming to the same delusion. Although the names have changed, the goals remain the same and are merely repeated by a long procession of changing forms. They have different faces, yet, they come in and out of your world repetitively, almost as if the same being.

They are always the same, because they are YOU.

Although the world may appear to be evolving, fear remains the same. A chameleon that easily blends with its environment is still always a chameleon. As long as you remain IN a “world,” your fear will give you little choice but to do as the world commands. Therefore, a better choice is to go within and command the world from that vantage point. This will result in the complete abolishment of fear on every level so that you can learn that the power to command is yours and always has been.

M: So you’re saying I can change the sun?

J: I could not “say” that to someone who believes in death, since their fear makes them too weak and feeble to even briefly comprehend such power. However, to someone who cannot die, there are NO limitations and that includes the limits of your belief in the "universe." Limitation is a product of death and does not exist in eternity, which is where YOU ARE and have always been.

You Made It All Up

2008-12-24T20:32:00.000-08:00

M: I don’t understand how you can say that there is no world?

J: I do not teach that there is “no world,” only that the world you see cannot possibly exist the way you SEE it. Everything you SEE as "real" is contingent on it being “real” before you SEE it and not as you SEE it. If you continue to apply properties of the past you will never realize the NOW that does not require "time."

Nothing exists as "real" until the moment YOU experience it. When there is NO "before" to your world, your world will be free because you will no longer chain your "self" to it.

M: I experience the world as real. “Real” means it exists for me.

J: You define it as “real” and, therefore, it “exists.” Obviously, “real” is what you say it is, for why else would you say it.

M: No. It exists and so I define it as real.

J: But who defines the "I" that defines the “real”? Make no mistake, you define everything and everything bends to conform to your concept of "self." The solution is quite simple. Change the "self" and change the "world."

M: Ok, I get where you’re going with this. So I should just live in my mind and not trust my senses? But, how would that keep me from walking into walls?

J: If you lived exclusively through the mind and not the body, "walls" could be moved as easily as mountains.

M: How does one “live exclusively through the mind” without using the senses?

J: If the mind is cause of the body, what need for the body and if the world you “sense” through the body is cause of fear, what need for fear? If fear caused the world, what need for the world?

If mind is source of all that you experience, what needs could you have that cannot be provided? Yet, you believe you need much more than your mind can provide. Thus, you have created a "world" for which to escape from your "self." But this is delusion because nothing leaves you.

Contrary to the world’s teaching, you do live exclusively through your mind, yet you have assigned yourself responsibility for only parts of the whole. You allow responsibility for anger, but not for war, although both have been justified as "real." I teach that there is no difference because bodily sensation is a delusion. Nevertheless, rest assured, nothing ever leaves YOU.

M: But I experience the world as outside of me.

J: This is because you are alienated from your ‘self’ and it stands to reason that all else must bend to join with that “experience.” The experience of being "outside" yourself is symbolic of alienation, but only because you do not know who you ARE. Know the Truth and experience must conform accordingly.

M: So how do I rejoin my “self”?

J: By realizing the “self” is not what you ARE and that you made it up. You take very seriously that which you feel controls you and this helps you deny that you made it thereby giving it power to MAKE YOU. You do not take seriously that which you make, because you feel powerless to make anything that will save you. Recognize you made the “self” and regain the control necessary to save your world.

M: So you’re saying that I should take myself more seriously?

J: Take serious what you made, but only to understand that you made it. In that way, it can no longer seriously trouble you. But recognize that you made everything and, in that realization, you will not have a care in the world. The world can no longer harm you when YOU are its maker, since you will no longer make it harmful.

M: Where does God enter into this equation?

J: God made you, but NOT as you know your “self,” but as God KNOWS. Learn who YOU are and know God. This is not at all complicated simply because there is no “formula” to Truth. Yet, you live by your formulations and so, must die by them, since YOU made death.

M: But I don’t want to die.

J: Then seek me out in another and LIVE. You are ready for the next stage of the curriculum and we must not delay. Because you are so deeply obsessed with an “outside” world, it is there that you must look to find Truth.

Make no mistake, I have returned. Why do you refuse to see me?

M: I didn’t know I was looking for you.

J: There is so much that you do SEE and, therefore, it is no surprise that I have been missed. It is time for you to give up your useless search for salvation and seek only for ME. I will wait, as I always have.

CHRISTMAS: An Experiment in Truth

2008-12-24T06:03:00.000-08:00

M: Each year I seem to have more difficulties with the Christmas holiday then the year before. I find no value in it whatsoever.

J: When you state that you “find no value” what you mean to say is that you give no value. Value is a product of your mind that precedes and determines what you see, for otherwise, you would not SEE anything at all.

Indeed, what you DO value is your “difficulties with the Christmas holiday” and you DO see that with little difficulty.

M: So I should value the rampant consumerism and materialism of the holiday?

J: You do value this, for why else would it be perceived and attacked. Although this type of “valuing” adds by subtraction and thus, fails to correct for what could be seen. Perception in the name of attack, must always find its target.

You do recognize that the holiday, or "holy day," was originally established to celebrate the birth of your “savior,” but you also value this perception in order to subtract and not add to your experience. This is because you believe you have NOT experienced salvation and thus you see a “world” unsaved and guilty. Hence, you believe your withholding of value is justified on both counts.

M: That’s right, the day has no meaning. What meaning should it have?

J: I simply ask that you SEE it as a day free of ALL “difficulty.”

However, even this perception would be “difficult” because you have become accustomed to valuing your “self” based on your reaction to “problems.” Self-esteem is based on the ability to effectively overcome and cope with the problems that the ‘self’ creates. This self-imposed circular value scale is reliable, but completely invalid. It is only reliable because as long as you rely on it problems are expected.

The scale is invalid because it is determined by the variables being separate, or “outside,” the mind and thus beyond the realm of control. No problems could ever exist if the variables, or cause of problems, were accurately evaluated as to origin. Essentially, this IS your only problem.

The mind is the origin of ALL problems and correction is only applicable at that starting point. You do apply corrective measures to your value scale thereby adjusting the degree of difficulty you experience, but you MUST always perceive difficulties. Difficulties and problems are experienced, but at varying levels based on what you give value to IN the “world.” Even problems attributed to the “self” are dependent on the self being IN the world.

Nevertheless, you deeply wish to be problem-free, but refuse to believe that this would require discarding your value scale entirely, since it is the cause of all your problems. It is always how you SEE and not what you SEE that is cause of suffering, which is why I ask that you SEE DIFFERENTLY.

M: So if I get rid of all values will that improve how I see Christmas?

J: You could never accept being without some scale or system of value. The “self” could not exist in nothingness because you have determined that it be "something." This is why I provide a system more adequate to OUR goal, which is the complete eradication of ALL fear. Perceiving Christmas, and all your “days,” absent of fear, with no resistance to that absence, would cause perfect peace to inevitably fill the void. There must always be one or the other, but never both.

You either SEE through a prism of light or through a facade of fear. A prism spreads light, making Truth easily discernible. A facade only blocks the Truth that the light would permit you to see. Either way you must SEE through what YOU have determined as valuable. I simply ask that you discard your values and accept mine.

M: You’re actually saying that my problem with Christmas is that I fear it?

J: On some level, and you believe you “exist” through a multitude of levels, you fear everything you perceive. This is solely because perception, or the need to find meaning through the body’s “eyes,” originates from fear. Your fears are grounded in your inability to control an “outside” world that your “eyes” give witness to as uncontrollable, denying this is your choice. At times, you take great pride in an illusion of control, although you do recognize that the slightest opposing breeze could send your plans whirling into oblivion. Even in your greatest feats of control, you fear it could all come crashing down without a moments notice.

Christmas holds a unique position in your spectrum of fear, since it allows you a sense of control in projecting your fear onto a specified target. You have many specialized targets, yet Christmas is special in that guilt is tailored, not to a single individual, but to your whole world. This allows you the delusion of innocence through indictment of a guilty world “outside” you.

But you must suffer, since even this delusion of control does little to deny that their guilt is YOURS because there is no division.

This is the “difficulty” as you perceive it, based on your skewed value system, which seeks only to absolve YOU of guilt. This merely intensifies the fear of an uncontrollable world that you are part of, by denying that you are THE WHOLE.

The “self” is very clever and sophisticated in its attempts to offset YOUR guilt by projecting it outward to a “world.” In this way, your problems are detached from YOU and can only be found in an “outside” world. Yet, as I teach, you are your world and there is nothing you can find IN the world that is not first IN YOU.

M: I still don’t see how this will help me have no difficulty, or even less difficulties, with Christmas.

J: You can always have “less” difficulty by adjusting your perceptions to SEE with LESS fear. But you can never have NO difficulties as long as you value fear above peace. Therefore, I would suggest you accept the need to be free of your values because they are solely based in fear. To be completely free of difficulty is to be completely free of fear. Truth has no “difficulties” because fear is a lie.

Forget what you need, deny your losses, ignore what you lack and have trust in the values I teach. This involves a “leap of faith” that you have been loathe to even consider.

Nevertheless, for just one day you may wish to experiment with Truth.

For just one day, you may wish to drop your values and replace with mine. I value everything BUT fear. I assure you that by doing so you will experience something quite profound and never before encountered. I cannot adequately describe what a total absence of fear would be like, since the “self’ would seek to negate by making comparisons, all based in fear. Besides, you cannot understand an experience you have steadfastly refused to remember, at least until you refuse no longer.

Make no mistake, this time was established BY YOU and is completely under YOUR CONTROL as long as you are without fear. YOU have determined that this one day, out of all others, should have profound significance. I ask that you discard your values and substitute mine and finally experience the meaning of that significance. It is certain you will, but when is your choice.

Choose this one day in time to escape the limitations of time for all eternity. Essentially, you have nothing to lose but fear and you will gain everything in return. If you value Christmas completely free of all fear, you will see it without difficulty and celebrate not with "difficulty," but through absolute freedom.

Let the world be reborn through YOUR FREEDOM from fear.

Defined by Lack and Loss

2008-12-18T05:14:00.000-08:00

M: Seems like the economic system is collapsing and I find myself worried for my families financial future.

J: A “self” defined by external circumstances can only substitute fear in place of perfect peace, because you have determined that external circumstances conform to “chance” and therefore, you LACK control of your “self."

Circumstances do not determine your destiny, because you are God’s Choice and that is devoid of time constraints and beyond all circumstances. This Creative “choice” must also be available to you, because your WILL is not divided or separate from Creation. Therefore, as God lacks nothing, you lack nothing and have everything.

M: If I could just create money, I wouldn’t have to worry.

J: Worry would no doubt continue, since HAVING only reinforces LACK as the faulty premise of your Being - and there is no argument that you deeply desire to BE.

There is no end to this circular logic, since a belief in lack precedes and fuels your belief in NEED. Essentially, to substitute your belief in lack with infinite HAVING would be to change your definition of BEING entirely. You might wish to consider this viewpoint since it does entail less fear.

You determine your worth based on your circumstances and if circumstances are lacking you are determined to suffer. Circumstances must always be lacking, since your lack subsequently defines your NEEDS and the “self” must have needs in order to exist as an active “self” engaged in fulfilling needs. Hence, you must always suffer, since you have many needs.

Imagine needing nothing at all. The very moment you experience the NEED for nothing is the very moment you will no longer experience your “self” as you have defined. This will be a very Sacred Moment, indeed!

M: So I could just “think” money into existence, right?

J: Not if you define your “self” as IN NEED, which would be a definition based on belief IN LACK. This is exactly how you currently experience yourself and this makes you victim to circumstances since you would not define yourself in this way if the world did not corroborate and support that definition. Yet, this is the “world’s” purpose as YOU have determined it.

BEING is of the mind and in the mind, but only because there is no division between an "outside" and an "inside" except when YOU divide them up. However, to one who “exists” based on the need to fill a lack, fear must always define that existence. Your fear directs your needs and never a thought enters your mind without pointing to a past or future means of filling a need and this you have ultimately defined as “happiness.”

Seeking for happiness is the definition of hell, because to seek what you lack means you have not found what YOU require. Hell is lack and lack is of your making since you were Created needing nothing.

To one who lacks nothing, no fear exists and a joy unconditioned by lack or loss guides your existence. This joy is indicative of complete fulfillment and the end of all “seeking.” Consider this: would you not be happier, if you no longer needed to seek happiness because there is no lack of it?

In your mind, “lack” must be present, but only because you would not exist as you now define yourself. Not to be, what you BELIEVE you are, is very frightening to one defined by seeking to fill a lack. Defining yourself by lack clearly limits what you can “think into existence.” At present, you could NOT “think money into existence” since that would collide with your belief in lack, which would negate the “self” from ever having existed, since it "exists" by and through lack.

M: So “lack” does not exist, even though people are starving for “lack” of food.

J: Lack and loss are of your making and you believe very strongly in what you make REAL, so much so that you deny you are its maker in order to achieve subservience to what you make by separating and dividing yourself from it. You see lack and loss everywhere and it does result in suffering, because that is the purpose you have assigned it in your separation from what you made. Your mind IS impoverished if starvation is what you see. An impoverished mind must project “lack” which demands that “others” must also need. This is because division is a fantasy you devised to hide from yourself. The mind is unconditional and does NOT lack for anything, but it can engage in conditional fantasies.

The complete healing of One Mind can nourish entire continents if that mind WILLS to be healed completely. I have proven the Truth of this, although it was misinterpreted as an external phenomenon and denied as possible within all minds.

M: So I can feed the starving multitudes?

J: If you are adverse to heaven and choose hell, the “multitudes” choose with you because WILL is the only correspondence you share. You do not share separate experiences of hell, since hell is clearly an experience of separation, but you do share the WILL to experience hell. However, you can share the WILL for Heaven just as easily, since that was the purpose of your Creation and you cannot lose or lack your purpose through your insane ideas. Unfortunately, for now, you continue to see this as the more difficult of the two and this is why you see only one.

M: But I don’t only see lack and poverty because I also see people with great wealth, too.

J: The self requires a contrast of opposites in order to uphold its allegiance to separate suffering. How else would you resist the Truth that has no opposite, if not through such opposing perceptions? Concepts of “wealth” must be conceived in order to establish NEED as the self’s founding principle. However, all deluded principles become inconsequential upon return to sanity.

M: So I should just believe I have everything?

J: I would suggest that you recognize you NEED NOTHING, as opposed to HAVING EVERYTHING, because the “self” will not then seek to inventory the “everything” I claim you HAVE, but you do not yet believe. You should not seek to demonize the “self" you idolize, but simply allow Truth to slowly dawn upon it. It will melt like ice in the light of Truth and in this way you will not be shocked or appalled at what you thought REAL.

In fact, this melting of fear is exactly what is occurring. The self is composed and constructed of fear. Therefore, the more fear that can be denied it, the more truth it will eventually experience. This is NOT God’s decision, but the path you have chosen and ask that I guide you and, so, it is the learning path we follow. Accurate learning cannot occur in an environment of fear and your mind is the environment through which learning must take place. Although learning is certain, fear causes distractions within the classroom thereby obstructing efficient apprehension of the chosen curriculum. This is the distracting delay you experience but deny that fear is the cause. Be distracted no longer by fear and know the Truth of what you ARE.

Look for Your Completion

M: How can I get beyond this feeling of sacrifice and loss in relation to what you teach?

J: Loss is defined by sacrifice, and you must ask how you can feel loss when there is nothing you can lose simply because there is nothing you are WITHOUT. You are not incomplete but whole, thus nothing can be lost to that which is complete as this would negate completion.

There is nothing here that can sustain you and valuing it for that purpose only perpetuates your lack of sustenance and your feeling of loss. Valuing anything as necessary to attain completion, only reinforces your belief in your incompletion.

Nevertheless, you have always felt that something was missing. You have lived with an emptiness that your struggles to fill have only served to further deepen. Every “loving” relationship, every moment of pleasure, every object coveted, has left you still feeling incomplete. Your relationships drain and disillusion you, your moments of pleasure fade and all objects lose their value. You are desensitized to the very reality you manifest simply because nothing can complete that which is already complete.

Your search is over simply because you have no "needs" and, thus, there is nothing to seek.

However, you do sense something there, beyond your perception, that you believe must sustain and complete you. Yet, you will never seek further then your expectations allow. As time passes, your expectations become less desirable only because you expect less, yet still hope for more.

You will eventually exhaust the search simply because in the end, death is your only prize and this is your most valuable expectation, since this you do not doubt . In your world you believe death is the only "need" you must fulfill. I teach that this, of all the beliefs you idolize, must be doubted above all.

This would be so very sad if even one aspect of this predicament were true. However, I teach that every belief you hold in your mind is patently false. Nothing you see or hear and every thought based solely on what the body’s “senses” need is delusional. Every concept in your mind that you employ to inform your choices is an indisputable lie and although you DO dispute this, the truth simply awaits your acknowledgment.

The only completion required is the complete disposal of all you have learned that teaches you are incomplete. You are beginning to have faith that there might be something more then what you have learned and this brings heaven that much closer. Heaven does not require sacrifice, only acknowledgment of its total completion and in that you acknowledge your own completion.

M: The problem is that I can’t let go of every belief, since how would I be able to interact with others or, in fact, do my job. If I let go every belief that I have based on the past, how could I continue to function? I’m afraid that what you teach is sacrifice to my mind.

J: Fear is your teacher and demands you teach what IT taught, therefore you have no idea of your function. Look at your world. Do you not teach what it taught you? Every thought in your mind teaches what you believe MUST be true.

I am here to teach you how to perceive differently so that learning can change. God does not “perceive” and heaven has no “perceptions” for which you will choose one above another. Love does not discriminate, but in a world that must be perceived, love cannot be SEEN and so, must be taught. If you learn from me, love is what you will teach and that curriculum is fearless.

I am teaching you to perceive love where you believe it is NOT and from that learning your perceptions will inform your actions, simply because what you perceive was determined before you perceived it. This is the goal that we must agree on.

In relation to the things that you “must” do, there is no reason to discontinue your “doing.” Yet, through a change in perception your "doing" will be transformed.

If you examine your current beliefs, you will see that what you DO must entail some degree of suffering. This is what you WILL experience in everything you DO as long as you do it for the reasons YOU think.

You have no idea of the reason why you DO anything, although you DO allow the world to determine your purpose and this is why you suffer. The world cannot teach what it does not know, so why allow it this function?

Consistent inquiring into your "purpose" may assist you in processing goals for your future, since currently, you do believe in your future. However, the goal must be determined from that part of you that has no investment in the world you believe is real. That part waits within.

Do you set your goals by the voice for truth or are your goals determined by the voices of the world, which loudly proclaim your incompletion and your need to suffer. Each day you must ask “whose goal do I choose?” Once the correct goal is determined, you will easily transform everything you do into a platform for ever greater peace and joy.

Inevitably, you must choose, and what you experience determines what you HAVE chosen. Do you experience joy or sorrow, peace or war, love or fear, freedom or bondage?

As you can plainly see, what I teach is very easy to learn and in what you experience there can be no mistaking the teacher you have chosen. What is your experience right now?

Do you really believe you know what you need? Do you believe you were Created incomplete and thereby have needs that must be filled? You must, since you live as if this were true and in all your goals and purposes you merely substitute the Truth of Heaven for your belief in incompletion. Look no further then your suffering, as it proves this substitution has occurred.

There is ever only one goal and that has been established by your Being. In time, all your goals will attest to your completion since you will teach it and, therefore, you will perceive it everywhere you look.

Look for it now!
