Fear of Condemnation

Fear of Condemnation

today i will not use my brother
to prop up my little self
thru comparisons and competitions
that crop from within my little mind
let me use him but
for the purpose
which is holy
as a mirror of my guilt
to forgive him for what
i made of him to hide
this deadly fear of
condemnation
of my Self.

"God's justice rests in gentleness upon His Son, and keeps him safe from all
injustice the world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his
sins reality, and sacrifice his Father's Will for him? Condemn him not by
seeing him within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your
special function to ensure the door be opened, that he may come forth to
shine on you, and give you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you.
What is the Holy Spirit's special function but to release the holy Son of
God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice? Could your
function be a task apart and separate from His Own?" (T-26.I.8)

Out of Focus

Out of Focus

i notice how my focus
is often centered
on my comfort, my winning,
my seeming needs...
'Now' i declare myself
out of focus...
and allow the edges
of my motivations
to reveal the beauty
that i see
when looking
at apparent others...
allowing their reflections
of my fullest self to filter
into consciousness...
accepting 'Now' these
as my own
and blessing and rejoicing
at the fullness there i see

michael

"I will go with you to the Holy One, and through my perception He can bridge
the little gap. Your gratitude to your brother is the only gift I want. I
will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother to know
God. If you are grateful to your brother, you are grateful to God for what
He created. Through your gratitude you come to know your brother, and one
moment of real recognition makes everyone your brother because each of them
is of your Father. Love does not conquer all things, but it does set all
things right. Because you are the Kingdom of God I can lead you back to your
own creations. You do not recognize them now, but what has been dissociated
is still there." (T-4.VI.7)

Truth So Simple

Truth So Simple

what shows before me
is meant for my blessing
of the me
i rejected and projected
all i am asked to do
is trust that it comes
only for this blessing
it is not a lesson
to be learned but
only myself to be embraced

michael

"The substitutes for aspects of the situation are the witnesses to your lack
of faith. They demonstrate that you did not believe the situation and the
problem were in the same place. The problem the lack of faith, and it
is this you demonstrate when you remove it from its source and place it
elsewhere. As a result, you do not see the problem. Had you not lacked faith
that it could be solved, the problem would be gone. And the situation would
have been meaningful to you, because the interference in the way of
understanding would have been removed. To remove the problem elsewhere is to
keep it, for you remove yourself from it and make it unsolvable."
(T-17.VII.1)

Releasing Sorrow

Releasing Sorrow

i hold a judgment of my daughter
that she has died to me
because she fills not the pictures
i have held so long of her
now i willingly release
all my pictures
and allow the blessings i posses
to cover her in love
even through i know
not how this will be done

michael

"Have faith in him who walks with you, so that your fearful concept of
yourself may change. And look upon the good in him, that you may not be
frightened by your "evil" thoughts because they do not cloud your view of
him. And all this shift requires is that you be willing that this happy
change occur. No more than this is asked. On its behalf, remember what the
concept of yourself that now you hold has brought you in its wake, and
welcome the glad contrast offered you. Hold out your hand, that you may have
the gift of kind forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is just
the same as yours. And let the cruel concept of yourself be changed to one
that brings the peace of God." (T-31.VII.5)

IN THE NEW NOW

i release all labels given

to put a "perception"

on energy...

labels such as

father, daughter, husband

christmas, good, bad

any and all perceptions

other than

I AM IS ALL THAT IS HERE...

in releasing these

i weep

for they have served my

unconscious mind for oh

so long...

i weep as my small self

dissolves into the

wholeness of my Self...

now

I AM is who i know myself to be...

is whom i know all that i see

to be....

there is simply the energy

of love's dance

playing before my earth eyes...

my singular eye

see's only that

which I AM...

it is dancing behind

and within all things...

inclusive of all of creation...

words label truth...

remove the words

the labels

the conditions we put on

all aspects of ourselves

to live up to that which we "believe"

to be right or wrong...

in the new now

there is only NOW

there is no more need for time

to play out my beliefs...

i simply abide in the eternal now

of knowing, loving

releasing and embracing

all of ME>>>>>>>>>

that which I AM...

for there is "nothing"

outside of me...

all of creation

ALL OF CREATION

is within me....

i expand myself eternally

as i choose for love

and embrace the calls

for love's presence

simply by bringing love

to the places of the heart

where it is absent...

thus

expanding love itself

is my purpose...

as i do this

i literally move creation

out of duality into the

eternal now...

the heaven that is already here

peaks thru and welcomes

my new sight

as i simply

be

allow

love

expand

letting go of all the "labels"

that have kept me yearning

for more and more

of the dream

my false creations

fall away from me as if

the leaves would fall

from autumns trees...

gently descending

letting go of their "grip" of the

supportive branch

that has allowed all illusion to be birthed

now

i fall home to my Self

and create from the "void"

of constriction...

what is the constriction???

you only create with your

loving thoughts from this

eternal heart of love

~together with the beloved~

as it was "before time" was needed

to process the illusions of false guilt...

the constriction

in the void

is that nothing but love

can be birthed here...

then

I AM home

denisa

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
These words are but symbols
but they sing to my heart
uplifting me to the heaven
from whence they came.

I sooo love you,

michael

This Is the Final Lesson

This Is the Final Lesson

the world of diversity is unreal
no choice but one
to bless and release
all that i thought
was real and desirable
for the one desire
to be what I Am
and will always be
--the extension of divinity--
and thru my expression
of the divine Love that is me
more and more expressions
of Love form
into an unending cascade
of shimmering bundles
of light energy forever and ever

michael

"There is no choice where every end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try
them all, before you really learn they are but one. The roads this world can
offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must come when everyone
begins to see how like they are to one another. Men have died on seeing
this, because they saw no way except the pathways offered by the world. And
learning they led nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this was the time they
could have learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point, and go
beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the world. But
this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you
come to understand what it is for." (T-31.IV.3)

All Things Are Neutral

All Things Are Neutral

the meaning they have for me
is the meaning i place in them...

my desire is to receive salvation
therefore, i must see salvation
in what the others offer...

when it does not feel 'good' to me
it is because i have made
a judgment that
it is unwanted,
to be aborted
to be hidden
to be pushed away
to be disguised
certainly not to be owned...

but only in the owning
does my salvation lie...

so fire away
bring me all i have hidden
bring me all i disguise,
bring me all i have refused
to acknowledge as Myself
i am ready
knowing the grace of God
is my strength

michael

"How happy would your dreams become if you were not the one who gave the
"proper" role to every figure which the dream contains. No one can fail but
your idea of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams
the Holy Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to
change, but what they mean has changed because they cover something else.
Perceptions are determined by their purpose, in that they seem to be what
they are for. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a brother giving you a
chance to help, if this becomes the function of the dream. And dreams of
sadness thus are turned to joy." (T-29.IV.5)

Truth of Love's Wholeness

Truth of Love's Wholeness

i know i cannot keep any dream
and find the atonement for myself
dreams are apart from truth
dreams are filled with the guilt
of imagined separation
dreams are bits and pieces
arranged to frighten a 'guilty' self
into submission to themselves
only in the blessing of all dreams-
allowing of the truth behind
to scurry forth-
will dreams dissolve
and truth of Love's wholeness
shine through
allowing me to be the One I AM

michael

"Such is the core of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use
by Him Who sees a different function for a dream. When dreams are shared
they lose the function of attack and separation, even though it was for this
that every dream was made. Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains
without the hope of change and betterment, for here is not where
changelessness is found. Let us be glad indeed that this is so, and seek not
the eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from
dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams,
unto the peace of everlasting life." (T-29.V.8)
