Whew! You inspire me!
Well,
if God can't inspire you, who in hell can?
Are You always this
flip?
I
meant that not as a flippancy. Read it again.
Oh. I see.
Yes.
However,
it would be okay if I were being flip wouldn't it?
I don't know. I'm used
to my God being a little more serious.
Well,
do Me a favor, and don't try to contain Me. By the way, do yourself the
same favor.
It
just so happens I have a great sense of humor. I'd say you'd have to when
you see what you've all done with life, wouldn't you? I mean, sometimes I
have to just laugh at it.
It's
alright, though, because you see, I know it'll all come out all right in
the end.
What do You mean by
that?
I
mean you can't lose in this game. You can't go wrong. It's not part of the
plan. There's no way not to get where you are going. There's no way to
miss your destination. If God is your target, you're in luck, because
God is so big, you can't miss.
That's the big worry, of
course. The big worry is that somehow we'll mess up and not get to ever
see You, be with You.
You
mean “get to heaven”?
Yes. We're all afraid of going to hell.
So
you've placed yourself there to begin with in order to avoid going
there. Hmmmmm. Interesting strategy-
There You are, being flip again.
I can't help it. This whole
hell thing brings out the worst in Mel
Good grief, You're a
regular comedian.
It
took you this long to find that out? You looked at the world
lately?
Which brings me to
another question. Why don't You fix the world, instead of allowing
it to go to hell?
Why
don't you?
I don't have the power.
Nonsense.
You've the power and the ability right now to end world hunger this
minute, to cure diseases this instant. What if I told you your own medical
profession holds back cures, refuses to approve alternative
medicines and procedures because they threaten the very structure of the
"healing” profession? What if I told you that the governments of the world
do not want to end world hunger? Would you believe me?
I'd have a hard time
with that. I know that's the populist view, but I can't believe it's
actually true. No doctor wants to deny a cure. No countryman wants to see
his people die.
No
individual doctor, that's true. No particular countryman,
that's right. But doctoring and politicking have become
institutionalized, and it's the institutions that fight these
things, sometimes very subtly, sometimes even unwittingly, but inevitably
. . . because to those institutions it's a matter of
survival.
And
so, to give you just one very simple and obvious example, doctors in the
West deny the healing efficacies of doctors in the East because to accept
them, to admit that certain alternate modalities might just provide some
healing, would be to tear at the very fabric of the institution as it has
structured itself.
This
is not malevolent, yet it is insidious. The profession doesn't do this
because it is evil. It does it because it is scared.
All
attack is a call for help.
I read that in
A Course in Miracles.
I
put
it there.
Boy, You have an
answer for everything.
Which
reminds Me, we only just started getting to your questions. We were
discussing how to get your life on track. How to get it to “take off.” I
was discussing the process of creation.
Yes, and I kept interrupting.
That's
alright, but let's just get back, because we don't want to lose the thread
of something that's very important.
Life is a creation, not a
discovery.
You
do not live each day to discover what it holds for you, but to
create it. You are creating your reality every minute, probably
without knowing it.
Here's
why that is so, and how that works.
1.
I have created you in the image and likeness of God.
2.
God is the creator.
3.
You are three beings in one. You can call these three aspects of being
anything you want: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; mind, body, and spirit;
superconscious, conscious, subconscious.
4.
Creation is a process that proceeds from these three parts of your body.
Put another way, you create at three levels. The tools of creation are:
thought, word, and deed.
5.
All creation begins with thought (“Proceeds from the Father”). All
creation then moves to word (“Ask and you shall receive, speak and it
shall be done unto you”). All creation is fulfilled in deed (“And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us”).
6.
That which you think of, but thereafter never speak of, creates at one
level. That which you think of and speak of creates at another level. That
which you think, speak, and do becomes made manifest in your reality.
7.
To think, speak, and do something which you do not truly believe is
impossible. Therefore, the process of creation must include belief, or
knowing. This is absolute faith. This is beyond hoping. This is
knowing of a certainty (“By your faith shall ye be healed").
Therefore, the doing part of creation always includes knowing. It is a
gut-level clarity, a total certainty, a complete acceptance as reality
of something.
8.
This place of knowing is a place of intense and incredible gratitude. It
is a thankfulness in advance. And that, perhaps, is the biggest key
to creation: to be grateful before, and for, the creation. Such
taking for granted is not only condoned, but encouraged. It is the sure
sign of mastery. All Masters know in advance that the deed has been
done.
9.
Celebrate and enjoy all that you create, have created.
To reject any part of it is to reject a part of yourself. Whatever it is
that is now presenting itself as part of your creation, own it, claim it,
bless it, be thankful for it. Seek not to condemn it (“Goddamnit!"), for
to condemn it is to condemn yourself.
10.
If there is some aspect of creation you find you do not enjoy, bless it
and simply change it. Choose again. Call forth a new reality. Think a new
thought. Say a new word. Do a new thing. Do this magnificently and the
rest of the world will follow you. Ask it to. Call for it to. Say,
“I am the Life and the Way, follow me."
This
is
how to manifest God's will “on Earth as it is in
Heaven.”
If it is all as simple
as that, if these ten steps are all we need, why does it not work that way
for more of us?
It
does work that way, for all of you. Some of you are using
the ”system" consciously, with full awareness, and some of you are using
it unconsciously, without even knowing what you are doing.
Some
of you are walking in wakefulness, and some of you are sleepwalking. Yet
all of you are creating your reality- creating, not
discovering- using the power I have given you, and the process I've
just described.
So,
you've asked when your life will "take off," and I've given you the
answer.
You
get your life to “take off" by first becoming very clear in your thinking
about it. Think about what you want to be, do, and have. Think about it
often until you are very clear about this. Then, when you are very clear,
think about nothing else. Imagine no other
possibilities.
Throw
all negative thoughts out of your mental constructions. Lose all
pessimism. Release all doubts. Reject all fears. Discipline your mind to
hold fast to the original creative thought.
When
your thoughts are clear and steadfast, begin to speak them as truths. Say
them out loud. Use the great command that calls forth creative power: I
am. Make I-am statements to others. “I am" is the strongest creative
statement in the universe. Whatever you think, whatever you say, after the
words “I am" sets into motion those experiences, calls them forth, brings
them to you.
There
is no other way the universe knows how to work. There is no other route it
knows to take. The universe responds to “I am" as would a genie in a
bottle.
You say "Release all doubts, reject all
fears, lose all pessimism" as if you're saying "pick me up a loaf of
bread." But these things are easier said than done. "Throw all negative
thoughts out of your mental constructions" might as well read "climb Mt.
Everest- before lunch." It's rather a large order.
Harnessing
your thoughts, exercising control over them, is not as difficult as it
might seem. (Neither, for that matter, is climbing Mt. Everest.) It is all
a matter of discipline. It is a question of intent.
The
first step is learning to monitor your thoughts; to think about
what you are thinking about.
When
you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts- thoughts that negate your
highest idea about a thing- think again! I want you to do this,
literally. If you think you are in a doldrum, in a pickle, and no
good can come of this, think again. If you think the world is a bad
place, filled with negative events, think again. If you think your
life is failing apart, and it looks as if you'll never get it back
together again, think again.
You
can train yourself to do this. (Look how well you've trained
yourself not to do it!)
Thank you. I've never
had the process set out for me so clearly. I wish it were as easily done
as said- but now I at least understand it clearly- I think.
Well,
if you need a review, we have several lifetimes.
