LOVE or FEAR
The Choice Is Yours
For I, like you, was once a student of the ways of seeking God. And I dove deep into the nature of consciousness and mind itself, and discovered how to attune the mind, the emotions and even the nervous system of the body to resonate with the Perfect Will and Love of God.
To begin to prepare a place for that, hmm, teaching, we return to the practice of abiding as Christ for at least five minutes. Then, as that five-minute practice period is completed, allow the eyes to close. Become aware of the simple movement of your own breathing. And simply hold the thought,
I allow this breath to move more deeply and slowly.
Then, beginning to feel that sense of relaxation ever more deeply, hold the thought:
As Christ, in perfect safety, I release all tension.
As Christ, in perfect safety, I dissolve my mind in the Perfect Peace of God.
Then, merely continue in this manner. As what you call the breath comes to fill the body gently, merely say:
I accept. . .
And as the breath leaves the body, gently say within the mind:
. . . the Love of God.
And again, as the breath enters the body:
I accept. . .
And as it leaves the body:
. . . the Love of God.
Continue in this manner for about five minutes – regardless of what the egoic mind says to you, and it will kick up a bit of a storm. Simply return to this simple practice.
At the end of about five minutes, let the prayer that you’ve been offering change from words to energy. You might perceive it as a golden white light; you might feel it as a gentle flow of relaxation — whatever works for you is fine. Continue gently to breathe that quality or that colour, into yourself with each breath. And with each letting go of the breath, imagine, and feel that energy moving throughout the course of the body. As though it were extending like a gentle breeze beyond the boundaries of the body.
And again, if the egoic consciousness kicks up its heels, and you start thinking of all the multitude of things you “ought” to be doing, simply return to the prayer. For all prayer is nothing more than a choice to abide, to contemplate, to rest in communion, beyond egoic thought.
After about another five minutes, then say within the mind:
As Christ, I have celebrated in this manner the Truth of Who I Am.
And I bring Peace to the world this day.
Allow this practice period to occur in the morning of your day, and then again in the evening of your day. The only change would be in the final phrasing. Say simply,
This day I have brought Peace to the world and offered it to my companions.
That should be clear enough for you and simple enough to begin. You may wish to use this written message as a guide for you, for a period of time, until it seems more comfortable for you. Those that embark on this simple process will be well prepared for what is to come in the coming months. And now we’ll continue with some other things.
The Only Energy That Can Separate You From The Kingdom
Beloved friends, the world that you look upon is not real! It has never been real. It will never be real.
But it is a creation that can be impregnated with the Perfect Love of God.
Remember always, then, that there is only Love or fear.
What is not Love can be only fear, and is never justified.
The world that you have made is thoroughly harmless. The world that you experience, which is the world that you have made in conjunction with others, in any given moment, offers to you the opportunity to choose to impregnate it with Love, or to allow it to reflect to you your fearful thoughts. You are not limited at any time, and in you all power under Heaven and Earth is given.
