video of James reading with commentary |
The ego knows that it makes no sense for us to emotionally attack ourselves. Still, the ego needs the judgments that our attacks produce to use as its fuel source and life line. This is why it tries to convince us that others are separate from us and thus it is safe to attack them. It convinces us that if we were to attack others, be it through thought, word or action, such efforts would not have a negative effect on us. Being all One, what the ego is doing, in a round about way, is programming us to think that it is ok to judge ourselves and thus to attack ourselves. No one talks to us more than we ourselves do. If the ego can convince you it is ok to attack yourself, then what the ego has produced is a judgment factory. This factory will then continuously fuel the ego. Guilt results from such a mindset. In essence, judging self and others guilty runs in opposition to loving self and others as God would have us do.
Guilt is a normal, though unconscious, response to doing the opposite of what God has created you to do. By doing the opposite of what God would have you do, in essence you are judging God as wrong. You will not find true peace and contentment as long as you continue to unconsciously judge God. Being all One, when you judge anyone including God, you are judging yourself. Yet do not despair, for guilt is not the home that God has built for us, peace is. The ego will make every effort to make us believe that guilt is the result of an outside force. This way, we don’t question it as being the source of our internal conflict. The ego does not want us questioning its advice. For if we do, we reduce its power over us. Today, let us recall we have come here to love and support one another, not to judge and be riddle with conflict and guilt.
There are when it comes to your journey two forces you can place your trust on. One is God and the other one is the ego. You will know when you have placed your trust in God because peace results. You will know when you have placed your trust in the ego because judgment, confusion, guilt and chaos result. Do not put yourself down for experiencing such energies and emotions. Instead learn to use them to trigger in you the desire to deny the ego and call out for the peace of God. The ego because it depends on you for its survival will not go quietly into the night. The ego will keep on trying to convince you it knows what is in your best interest. When it does so remind yourself what the ego’s judgment centered so-called advice has brought to your life. Has it ever brought you the eternal nature, essence and feeling of the peace, love and joy of God? Are you as God’s child and creation not worthy of His peace, love and joy?
Now when the ego’s judgment and guilt producing ways come knocking on your mind’s door use them. But not to further pollute this world but to trigger in you the deep desire to trust in God’s plan more. Place your full trust in the plan you have co-designed with the Divine. Do so and begin to feel His peace and certainty flowing through every decision you now make. When you fully trust “The Plan”, judgment, confusion, guilt and chaos, will begin to dissolve before you. When you live in the state of peace and certainty, gratitude results. When you live in the states of peace, certainty and gratitude, joy results. Peace, certainty, gratitude and joy as expressions of the Divine are your true Home. Your true Home is reach by fully trusting in the path you have co-created with God.
Today, our main goal is to simply increase our level of trust in the plan we have co-created with God. The state of peace today becomes a sign to us we are executing our plan. God’s plan and our highest-will’s plan for our lives are One. Choosing to trust Oneness over the ego’s desires for judgment diminishes our level of guilt and raises our level of peace. Today, recall that each step you take you take with God with and within you. No matter how much the ego has programmed us to judge our journeys they are all sacred co-creations with the Divine. The Divine being Love Itself uses all for the greater good. When we become aware and trust the understanding that all steps were necessary and of use to help us reach our destination peace results. If all steps where necessary and of use to reach our destination then peace and gratitude should be our response to them not judgment and guilt. Consider this analogy: If you want to get unto a roof and you need a ladder for that purpose is not every step of the ladder of use to get you safely up to the top? Are we not grateful that each step on the ladder is designed in a way that assists us in reaching the next step? If the previous steps helped us reach the step we are now on where those steps not useful and helpful? If all previous steps on the ladder were of use to get us to where we wanted to be should we not be grateful to all of them? If we understand this analogy what use would we ever again have to judge and feel guilty for our journeys, past, or for any step we took along the way? Today, let us very simply place our full trust in God. Let us do so and note what emotions our efforts bring about and shine forth.
Today, if judgment and guilt come calling, let that be a sign to us that we have placed our trust in the ego’s delusional mindset. Guilt, judgment, confusion and chaos are all results from trusting the ego’s ways of thinking. Let us choose to no longer invest our time, focus and energy into a mindset that produces so much despair. Instead, let us practice placing our full trust in God’s plan. We will know when we are doing this because peace results. God is Love and thus uses each step of our journey for good — to help us grow, heal and awaken. Knowing this, what further need is there to judge ourself and others, and to feel guilty for doing so? Today, through non-judgment, let us align with the mind of God. The more we do, the less burdens we will carry and the more peace of mind and joy we will have.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.
