The Many Streams Within

There are many streams within your being.  There are many many levels of consciousness....of awareness.

The part we are generally aware of, the noise in the head, the voice of dialogue and commentary is the most superficial.  It is here we hear the voice of the ego, the substitute we have made for our divine self.  The ego is the self that relates to the body alone and sees itself as separate and wants above all else to be different or special. It must strive and struggle.

The emotion connected to the ego is fear.  Fear of what might happen,  the threat of loss of some or all kinds.  The ego is not your friend.  It doesn't care if you are at peace or not.  It is the ego that would rather be "right"  than have peace. The ego believes  it needs protection can be safer by seeing ourselves as indepenent. Getting even, having our "own" way, fighting back, anger in all its myriad forms stems from the ego.  It comes from us seeing ourselves as a body with a name and a situation that must protect itself and after having some years  of joy will wither and die.  This view of ourselves is not in agreement with who we really are.  Reality being determined by what lasts, what doesn't change,what is eternal.  When all else fades away, what is left.  You are  left in all your beauty, and grace and light.  You are part of Life itself, you are Love incarnate.

You are so much more than your child's mind could comprehend and certainly more than most people today seem to be willing to believe.  We are used to thinking of ourselves in accordance to what we have done (or not done) what we have earned or accomplished, our loves our interests our activities, our fame, our power and sometimes, our families, our history. All these things are just that, our interests, our fame, our power our expressions...not WHO WE ARE.  These things are all temporary and will pass away.  The you that is eternal is perfect, is full of life and love has no fear because in  perfect Love fear cannot even begin to enter.

There are many streams....it doesn't matter what the names are....the unfathomable source cannot be named......neither can you.  In this lifetime....you have a name...really your form has one....you are Beingness.

You have all the answers within you that you will ever need for yourself.

You have the perfect teacher within you

You have the perfect guide.

The voice is quiet, gentle, never defensive, never attacking, never blaming , only ever inclusive, open and loving.

God knows there is nothing to forgive.
But it is used as a way home.

Forgiveness for us is the bridge between our more dense self and mind and the higher self.  The road home is forgiveness.  It doesn't necesarily put you in the highest stream...but it is the road to it...to "home Base" within you.   Forgiveness is often thought of as something for once in a awhile or when we have judged another...but really is flows daily...as we travel our many streams we often see ourselves as less than we are, we often don't agree in action or thought with the truth...so forgive yourself in that moment for failing to see yourself as you REALLY are and then taking up the thought that God has about you.  Taking that thought as your own, because in truth, it is.  The more you agree with God the better you feel.  You are whole, complete and need never fear....you are eternal and full of love......The further out of alignment you are with that truth, the worse you feel.

You could actually say that the real "reason" you feel badly after an argument is not what the other said about you but that you moved away from your own alignment and that split is painful.  The further away you are the more pain you suffer.  Forgiveness closes the split within ourselves.  We amy think we are split from "the other" but it is really within ourselves.  We want to blame others, the situation, the "bad guys", the enemy, especailly when commonly held beliefs are in agreement with us,...and while this is all very "normal", it does not bring freedom or release life....they are all ways of the ego to protect itself.   These ways don't make us feel good..not the deep good that has beauty and freedom and love...just the momentary satisfaction that rests on the surface of self revenge or self gratification.

When we are aligned with God we feel the deep good that is peace, the peace that "passes all understanding"...it is not because of the situation, it is in spite of it.  The world does not understand it...our densest mind does not understand it.  It is not the way the conversation usually goes in the coffee break room.  But, it is truth nonetheless

Forgiveness will always bring us back to closer alignment with who we really are.  Have you noticed you can sound one way on a subject one day and differently the next? We can speak from many different places, roles, aspects of any situation but still there is one true place that never moves, never shifts and is eternal.  That is Home within...when we come to ourselves...and see ourselves as we truly are, when we agree with God.

Come Home....and know.....

You are perfect.

You are Love in the earth.

You are so invinceable that no darkness can wound or destroy you.

You are part of all That Is, part of the beauty, love and life you see all around you.

You are never alone, never separate.  You have nothing to fear.  You are eternal...  This moment is perfect and you are with it.  This unfolding is here for you.......

Knowing these words or ideas in your mind doesn't make much difference, it is experiencing this truth that is the level of awareness we desire.  So let go...drop down...right now....

Listen deeply....in quiet...space is made....you can hear...be still......stop the mind movie....

Relax and ..... smile into this moment..... selah
