We protect and defend ourselves against the ego’s tools and mindset when we think of them as real. The ego tries to place itself in opposition to God. But because God is Love and All, the ego and its tools and mindset are nothing, not real or true. Nothing that tries to be a replacement for All — represents the truth in us. When we feel threatened by the ego’s tools and mindset, we often reinforce and strengthen them by interacting with them as real. It is we who give the ego and its tools their power. The ego and its tools, being nothing, have no power. Only when we think of them as real do we try to defend ourselves against what seems to attack them. Those who are asleep to the truth in them do not realize that it is they who are dreaming of their dream as real. Once they awaken, the dream ends, and their delusional monsters disappear.
Today, let us focus on, support and reinforce that only our loving nature is true. The more we support our loving nature as true, the more a circle of peace, love and understanding expands around us. We grow our circle by forgiving instead of judging, showing compassion instead of condemnation, and trying to heal instead of hurt. Every person we are presented with is offering us the opportunity to expand our circle. Allow no one to be excluded from your circle today. The essence of this loving circle is what you have come into this world to be, represent, share and remind others of. All you need to do today is be who you were created to be, and by doing so, experience the loving truth in you as true. In essence, this will be an effortless accomplishment. For in truth, the
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.

Brother James, Synchronicity today, my first reading this morning was from Richard Rohr’s CAC about Julian of Norwich, who came to the same truth you have: God is Love, All Love, All the Time, for Everyone and every thing in the Universe, see below. Thanks for helping us see that Love is the Way!
Julian’s revelations offer a loving alternative to the focus on sin which characterized the theology of her time. Mirabai Starr writes:
Julian of Norwich is known for her radically optimistic theology. Nowhere is this better illumined than in her reflections on sin. When Julian asked God to teach her about this troubling issue, he opened his Divine Being, and all she could see there was love. Every lesser truth dissolved in that boundless ocean….
Julian confesses,
The truth is, I did not see any sin. I believe that sin has no substance, not a particle of being, and cannot be detected at all except by the pain it causes. It is only the pain that has substance, for a while, and it serves to purify us, and make us know ourselves and ask for mercy. [1]
Starr clarifies where Julian located the impact of sin:
Julian informs us that the suffering we cause ourselves through our acts of greed and unconsciousness is the only punishment we endure. God, who is All-Love, is “incapable of wrath.” And so it is a complete waste of time, Julian realized, to wallow in guilt. The truly humble thing to do when we have stumbled is to hoist ourselves to our feet as swiftly as we can and rush into the arms of God where we will remember who we really are.
Thank you Steven for your comment and for being open to the message.
If indeed God is Love and All, then all we could ever be is that love. If we see anything other than love in self or another, then we are only seeing a fantasy we have been taught to believe as real.
Today, choose only to see the Truth in all others as true, and as you do, you will be and reflect the loving light of the world that God created you, and all of us, to be.
Peace. JBC
Brother James, seeing God/Love in ourselves and others is the challenge…But it indeed is the Way!
