And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James,

and John his brother, and bringeth them up

into an high mountain apart.

And He was transfigured before them and

his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment

was white as the light.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses

and E-li' as talking with him.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud

overshadowed them and behold a voice came

out of the cloud, which said,

God speaks…

"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him."

Listen…

Jesus is instructing you.

I am your Savior and the Savior of this world.

I am the light of the world.

If you follow me you shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life, and I will lead you to your home in Heaven.

I am your resurrection and your light.

As you come now to believe me, you will see that you can never die.

Come and follow me and we will leave this world forever.

Let the dead bury the dead.

Remember, the kingdom of God is in you and with you forever.

You are the light of the world with me.

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and it gives light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Certainly as a Son of man you know you must be born again or you cannot see the reality of your Saviorship.

Truly I say unto you… Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests.
But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.

Remember…

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Our kingdom is not of this world.

Yet the kingdom of God is with us,

And is what we are together.

We are from Heaven and no man has ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven.

You are one self with me.

We are not separate.

We are Eternal Life.

We are One Self together

in the eternal being of our Creator.

I am your heavenly counselor.

Call on me… Use me…

I will stay with you until your resurrection is complete.

The light of the body is the eye, as your eye becomes single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eyes see evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness.

No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

You cannot serve both God and mammon.

You must make up your mind

God does not judge.

He has committed all judgment unto the Son.

For as the Father has life in himself…

so has he given to the Son to have life in himself.

And has given him authority to execute

judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

All power is given unto you on earth and in Heaven.

Ask…. and it shall be given you.

Seek… and you shall find.

Knock… and it shall be opened unto you.

For everyone that asks receives.

And he that seeks finds.

And to him that knocks it shall be opened.

I have given you the keys to the kingdom.

They are in your mind and in your heart.

There is no death the Son of God is free.

It is best that you judge not…that you be not judged.

For with what judgment you judge…you shall be judged.

And with what measure you mete…it shall be measured to you again.

Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven.

And whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

You have heard that it has been said…
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
But I say unto you… "That you resist not evil.
But whosoever shall smite you on your right
cheek, turn to him the other also."

You have heard that it has been said…
"You should love your neighbor and hate your
enemy." But I say unto you… "Love your enemies
and bless them that curse you. Do good to them
that hate you. And pray for them which
despitefully use you and persecute you."

"Blessed are you for being merciful, for you shall obtain mercy."

"Blessed are you who are pure in heart, for you shall see God."

This is the first and great commandment…
"That you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."

And the second is like unto it…
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.

You are and will always be as you were created.

Let not your heart be troubled.

You believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I have prepared a place for you.

I have come again and receive you unto myself.

That where I am, there you may be also.

And where I go you know, and the way you know very well.

Truly I say unto you…
"You have come to believe on me and the works that I do."

And now…
"Greater works than these shall you do because we go unto our Father."

And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Go ahead and ask anything in my name and I will do it.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

I have prayed the Father and he has given you another Comforter who abides with you forever.

He is the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it sees him not, neither knows him. But you know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.

You have ears to hear, hear this…
It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to the world it is not given. You now understand with your hearts, and are converted and I have healed you.

Many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see and have not seen them. And to hear those things which you hear and have not heard them.

What you fear is nothing. There is nothing to fear.

There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed.

And hid that shall not be known.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light.

And what you hear in the ear, that preach you upon the housetops.

Yet a little while and the world will see you no more… But I will see you… Because I live, you shall live also! Now you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me and I in you.

Since you have loved me and kept my words, my Father will love you. And we will come unto you and make our abode with you.

Now that you abide in me, my words abide in you.

Ask what you will and it shall be given unto you.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

Continue you in my love.
You have kept my commandments, you shall abide in my love.

Even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you. That my joy might remain in you. That your joy might be full.

You have not chosen me…

but I have chosen you, and ordained you.

This is my commandment:

"That you love one another, as I have loved you."

If the world hates you, you know that it hated me

before it hated you. If you were of the world, the

world would love his own. But I have chosen you

because you are not of this world. Therefore the

world hates you.

My way is not hard, but it is different.

Come unto me, if you labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall

find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

It's time for you to join with me to heal the sick

and raise the dead.

We will enter the kingdom of Heaven together.

Jesus Prays…

Father, the hour is come, glorify your Son,

that your Son may glorify you.

As you have given him power over all flesh,

that he should give eternal life to as many

as you have given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know

you the only true God and Jesus Christ,

whom you have sent.

I came not to save the world but to claim

my own as yours.

I have called and they have answered.

And now I come to you Father and these

things I speak in the world, that they might

have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them your word and the world

has hated them, because they are not of the

world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that you should take them out of

the world, but that you should keep them

from evil.

Certainly they are not of the world, even

as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them through your truth. Your

word is truth. As you have sent me into

the world, even so have I also sent them

into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify

myself, that they also might be sanctified

through the truth and know that we are one.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them

also which shall believe on me through

their word. That they all may be one,

as you Father are in me and I in you,

that they also may be one in us.

That the world may believe that you have

sent me. And the glory which you gave me

I have given them. That they may be one…

Even as we are one…

I in them… and you in me. That they may

be made perfect in one. And that the world

may know that you have sent me and have

loved them, as you have loved me.

Father, I will that they also, whom you

have given me, be with me where I am.

That they may behold my glory, which you

have given me, for you loved me before

the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world have not

known you… But I have known you.

And these have known that you have sent

me. And I have declared unto them your

name… And will declare it. That the love

wherewith you have loved me may be in

them and I in them…

Even unto the end of this world

and for all eternity.

Amen

The Present Memory

What you remember never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve but laughter, when you learn you have remembered consequences that were causeless and could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference. Never changed from what It is. And you are Its effect, as changeless and as perfect as Itself. Its memory does not lie in the past, nor waits the future. It is not revealed in miracles. They but remind you that It has not gone. When you forgive It for your sins, It will no longer be denied.

A Course In Miracles International

"THAT THE GREATEST EVIL IN MAN IS THE NOT KNOWING GOD."

1. "Whither are you carried, O Men, drunken with drinking strong Wine of Ignorance? which seeing you cannot bear, why do you vomit it up again?

2. Stand, and be sober and look up again with the Eyes of your heart, and if you cannot all do so, yet do so many as you can.

3. For the malice of Ignorance surroundeth all the Earth, and corrupteth the Soul, shut up in the Body, not suffering it to arrive at the Havens of Salvation.

4. Suffer not yourselves to be carried with the Great Stream, but stem the tide you that can lay hold of the Haven of Safety, and make your full course towards it.

5. Seek one that may lead you by the hand, and conduct you to the door of Truth and Knowledge, where the clear Light is that is pure from Darkness, where there is not one drunken, but all are sober, and in their heart look up to him, whose pleasure it is to be seen.

6. For he cannot be heard with ears, nor seen with eyes, nor expressed in words; but only in mind and heart.

7. But first thou must tear to pieces, and break through the garment thou wearest, the web of Ignorance; the foundation of all Mischief; the bond of Corruption; the dark Coverture; the living Death; the sensible Carcass; the Sepulchre, carried about with us; the domestical Thief, which in what he loves us, hates us, envies us.

8. Such is the inebriated stupor of Apparel, wherewith thou are clothed, which draws and pulls thee downward by its own self, lest looking upward and seeing the beauty of Truth, and the Good that is reposed therein, thou shouldst hate the wickedness of this Garment and understand the traps and ambushes which it hath laid for thee.

9. Therefore doth it labour to make good those things that seem, and are by the senses, judged and determined; and the things that are truly, it hides, and envelopeth in much matter, filling what it presents unto thee, with hateful pleasure, that thou canst neither hear what thou shouldst hear, nor see what thou shouldst see.

- "The Eighth Book of Hermes Trismegistus" in The Divine Pymander, 2300 BC

The Declaration of Independence - IN GOD, July 4^th

The brotherhood of men is based on the Fatherhood of God. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people, united in singular purpose, to declare the certainty of God and thus dissolve the chains which have bound nations and people to worldly laws which no longer serve, and to assume the responsibility of Saviorship in recognition that every individual has within himself the inherent power of God, given to him both on Heaven and on earth, to change his mind and thus change the world.

A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that this one people, Teachers of God, should declare the causes which impel them to the restoration from separation to wholeness.

The Kingdom of Heaven, the Divine Government, is founded on the unalterable Fact of Divine Sovereignty - God is Love and therefore so is every individual regardless of circumstances, race, creed, economics or religion.

The peace of God in the hearts of individuals will create unity (though not necessarily uniformity) because while a universal theology is impossible, a universal experience will foster a new common purpose in the minds of those who have felt the peace of God.

We, therefore, the Teachers of God, Assembled and Ordained, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the recognition of our intentions, do, in the Name of Jesus Christ, and by Authority of God, happily publish and declare, that we are free. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance and total dependence on God, we mutually pledge to each other the dissolution of our individual wills that we may do the work of the Father.

We willingly dedicate our lives to God, our Father in Heaven, that His Will may be accomplished and His Kingdom reestablished that all people may come into the recognition that God is Love, and their minds restored to perfection.

-By Lisa Natoli

In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, "My brother, choose again." He would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth. He would remove all misery from you whom God created altar unto joy. He would not leave you comfortless, alone in dreams of hell, but would release your mind from everything that hides His face from you.

His Holiness is yours because He is the only power that is real in you. His strength is yours because He is the Self that God created as His only Son.

Learn, then, the happy habit of response to all temptations:
I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son.

Thus is Christ's strength invited to prevail, replacing all your weakness with the strength that comes from God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for holiness was made. For in that choice are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by, and nothing left to interfere with truth.

You are as God created you, and so is every living thing you look upon, regardless of the images you see. What you behold as sickness and as pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss, is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell.

Yield not to this, and you will see all pain, in every form, wherever it occurs, but disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's Son, and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release.

Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it and believe it is.

-Jesus Christ, A Course in Miracles

Yesterday and today's lessons are so completely helpful and beautiful, that I am posting the whole lesson of today here.  I highly recommend also reading lesson 183, "I Call Upon God's Name and on my Own".  This is all you would ever need to know to fully awaken in your shining eternal reality and to be happy, each and every moment.  Wow!  We are SO UNBELIEVABLY LUCKY to have this Course in Miracles…with Love, Kristen

You live by symbols. You have made up names for everything you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by its own name. By this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate its special attributes, and set it off from other things by emphasizing space surrounding it. This space you lay between all things to which you give a different name; all happenings in terms of place and time; all bodies which are greeted by a name.

This space you see as setting off all things from one another is the means by which the world’s perception is achieved. You see something where nothing is, and see as well nothing where there is unity; a space between all things, between all things and you. Thus do you think that you have given life in separation. By this split you think you are established as a unity which functions with an independent will.

What are these names by which the world becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of bodies kept apart and holding bits of mind as separate awarenesses? You gave these names to them, establishing perception as you wished to have perception be. The nameless things were given names, and thus reality was given them as well. For what is named is given meaning, and will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects, with consequence inherent in itself.

This is the way reality is made by partial vision, purposefully set against the given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little things, and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity or vision which sees differently become the threats which it must overcome, conflict with and deny.

Yet does this other vision still remain a natural direction for the mind to channel its perception. It is hard to teach the mind a thousand alien names and thousands more. Yet you believe this is what learning means; its one essential goal by which communication is achieved and concepts can be meaningfully shared.

This is the sum of the inheritance the world bestows. And everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the world is real. It is for this they stand. They leave no doubt that what is named is there. It can be seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is false is but illusion, for it is the ultimate reality. To question it is madness; to accept its presence is the proof of sanity.

Such is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go through. But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, how questionable are its premises, how doubtful its results, the sooner does he question its effects. Learning which stops with what the world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it serves but as a starting point from which another kind of learning can begin, a new perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised to doubt.

Think not you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. His body makes response to what you call him, for his mind consents to take the name you give him as his own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you perceive him separate from you, and he accepts this separate name as his.

It would indeed be strange if you were asked to go beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching function. You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived by them as well. They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought that will release you from them. They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where true communication can be found.

Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name Which God has given you; the One Identity Which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world which darkness rules.

Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget creation has One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all things within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but for convenience, yet do not forget they share the Name of God along with you.

God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this lesson does all learning end. All names are unified; all space is filled with truth’s reflection. Every gap is closed, and separation healed. The Name of God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves.

No-one can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the Word. But first you must accept One Name for all reality, and realize the many names you gave its aspects have distorted what you see but have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight.

And though we use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of God’s Son, we understand that they have but One Name, Which He has given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And through Its use, all foolish separations disappear which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as we receive.

 Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things
and You Who are their One Creator. What we made and call by
many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across
Your Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All
our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects our
errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give in place of
every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape from what
we made. Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is our
inheritance and peace.
Amen.

-Lesson 184, A Course in Miracles

You can't escape love. Once you touch it you get lost. Nothing ever exists that can come out again. Everything is discharged and becomes That itself. When the river enters the ocean it does not return.

The river entering the ocean asks, "Will I always be like this?" What a joke.

The wave is afraid. "I want to forever remain a wave." The fear in the mind of the wave is: "I will be lost!" Where will it go? Even if it is lost, where can it go and what will it become? When the wave form is lost, it returns to its source. Ocean she was, ocean she is, ocean she will be. There is no time concept at all. Time is only in the mind of an ignorant person. In light and wisdom there is no such notion that "I am separate." All is unity, love, and beauty. There is no escape. Ignorance is gone. This is eternal life. This is nectar.

Even though you are That itself, still some undercurrent is working.. .to be more…moving closer to Love itself. That I cannot describe unless someone has had that experience, and can agree that there is no end to it. If it is fathomless, this love process is also fathomless. It is never-ending. It will go on increasing, like an undercurrent. Like the river discharging into the ocean.

Some say, "All is over. You don't need to do anything more. And there is no further experience."

But I feel there is still movement, because it is fathomless, fathomlessness.

Here is yesterday's post from my friend, Lisa Natoli's blog, Gorgeous for God., which is a beautifully expressed message.  She asked us to pass it on…so here it is with out further comment.  With Love and Gratitude, Kristen

Lesson 176

Today is a review lesson from A Course in Miracles:

God is but Love, and therefore so I am.

(161) Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.
(162) I am as God created me.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

I went to a great church service in Maine on Sunday. The guest minister (Dr. Mar Imsong) was saying the church is a dying institution and that we cannot put new wine (the message of Jesus) into old wineskins (the church), that we need to put new wine in new wineskins and he said “which means we need to go back to the beginning - with Jesus with his disciples - and start there.” He said that young people are not coming to church, and probably will never come to church and what is needed now in the world is “passionate individuals with the Love of Christ in their heart who have a willingness to go out there and teach the message of Jesus to those who need it.”

He said we need to be like Jesus’ disciples 2000 years ago, and he said that we are all ministers, and he reminded us that Jesus’ disciples were not learned men, but fishermen, and that we are not to rely on the laws and practices of the church, but to lean on the message of Jesus and go teach that, and to be the demonstration of God’s Love in our daily lives.

He was saying we are going to see drastic changes in the way people hear the message of Jesus, because of the internet and cell phones and the way people communicate nowadays, and that we need to get creative and active, and stop thinking it’s going to come through the church, because it is not. And this was spoken by a minister in a church.

It was so awesome.

He’s right: We need new wineskins. The old way of doing business (and living life) is not going to work anymore. We need brand new wineskins to hold this beautiful wine that comes from the Tree of Life. We are standing smack in the middle of a global shift. If you think life is going on as it always has, then you are in for a brutal surprise. This world is changing, and fast.

Where are you?

It is impossible to do things the way we have done them before.

Here are some great quotes to consider:

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Charles Darwin~

“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” -Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince (1532)

“Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.” -Niccolo Machiavelli

“Every generation needs a new revolution.” -Thomas Jefferson

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.” - Abraham Lincoln

“In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic, even lunatic.” - Alvin Toffler

“The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech.” - Edwin H. Friedman

“In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” - Eric Hoffer

So, we are standing in the middle of tremendous change. It’s already occurring. We are witnessing it with our very eyes. Last night I was watching television (for the first time in over a year) and I can’t believe how dumb it all is. I also noticed on the commercials that they use a soothing woman’s voice (I feel like it’s the same woman, is it? does anyone know what I am talking about??) and it’s the exact same voice they use in the futuristic movies (like The Island, with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson) to manipulate the masses on the gigantic movie screens that are in the streets, and in every building.

I am blessing you in every way, you, who is reading this. I love you. You are as God created you. Do me a favor, please and rise above the nonsense, okay? Refuse to participate in the dumbification of the masses. Okay? Please. Do it for me. Do it for Jesus.

Watching that crap on television last night, I could begin to see why people have difficulty seeing things clearly. I can see why there is confusion and muddy thinking.

Plus every other commercial is about prescription drugs, telling you to call your doctor to get a prescription.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I could think was: holy crap, people sit in front of this box every night?? And listen to this crap?

I woke up this morning, feeling drugged and disoriented.

I suppose I sound like your great grandmother giving old-fashioned advice from the stone age, but whatever. Be aware of what you allow into your mind and be conscious of how you spend your time.

Going on all around you is the creation of God. You can tap into this power and it will disrupt all your old patterns, knock out your problems, heal all sickness, and catapult you into Heaven where miracles occur naturally.

But first, you must have a willingness to change your patterns. If there is something in your life that is not working, then that is an indication that something needs to change. Move the energy in other ways than just sitting on the couch or in front of the computer every night.

Please give me your blessing, holy Son of God.

Please join with me in the resurrection.

Please be part of the solution with me, as we usher in dramatic changes.

We are no longer part of the sleeping dead, Instead we take our place with Jesus by our side and we spring to life, transformed entirely.

Like the minister on Sunday church service said: “What this world needs is passionate individuals with the Love of Christ in their heart who have the willingness to go out there and teach the message of Jesus to those who need it.”

Amen, Lord Almighty.

Would you also do me a favor and email this post to your friends, coworkers, and family? Magazine & newspaper editors. Chat groups. Community leaders.

Let’s start spreading the word.

I appreciate your help.

-Lisa

Wake up, wake up
this night is gone
wake up

abandon abandon
even your dear self
abandon

there is an idiot
in our market place
selling a precious soul

if you doubt my word
get up this moment
and head for the market now

don't listen to trickery
don't listen to the witches
don't wash blood with blood

first turn yourself upside down
empty yourself like a cup of wine
then fill to the brim with the essence

a voice is descending
from the heavens
a healer is coming

if you desire healing
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill

Today's Lesson 175 - from Review V

“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”

[159] “I give the miracles I have received.”

“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”

[160] “I am at home. Fear is the stranger here.”

“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”

I wearied myself searching for the Friend
with efforts beyond my strength.
I came to the door and saw how powerfully the locks were bolted.
And the longing in me became that strong,
and then I saw I was gazing from within the presence.
With that waiting, and in giving up all trying,
only then did Lalla flow out from where I knelt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything is new now for me.
My mind is new, the moon, the sun.
The whole world looks rinsed with water,
washed in the rain of I AM THAT.
Lalla leaps and dances inside the energy
that created and sustains the universe.

-Lalla Ishwari, 14th Century Kashmir
