The Lesson of Love

The relationship of anger to attack is obvious, but the relationship of anger to fear is not always so apparent. Anger always involves projection of separation, which must ultimately be accepted as one’s own responsibility, rather than being blamed on another. Anger cannot occur unless you believe that you have been attacked, that your attack is justified in return, and that you are in no way responsible for it. Given these three wholly irrational premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack rather than of love must follow. What can be expected from an insane premises except an insane conclusion? The way to undo an insane conclusion is to consider the sanity of the premise on which it rests. You cannot be attacked, attack has no justification, and you are responsible for what you believe.
Your resurrection is your reawakening. I am the model for rebirth, but rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your mind of what is already in it. God placed it there himself.
I am sorry when you my children do not share my decision to hear only one Voice. I elected, for your sake and mine, to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault, as judged by the ego, does not matter. As the world judges these things, but not as God knows them, I was betrayed, abandoned, beaten, torn, and finally killed. It was clear that this was only because of the projection of others onto me, since I had not harmed anyone and had healed many.
Your projection will always hurt you. It reinforces your belief in your own split mind, and its only purpose is to keep the separation going. It is solely a device of the ego to make you feel different from your brothers and separate from them. The ego justifies this on the grounds that it makes you seem “better” than they are, thus attack are inevitably related, because projection is always a means to justifying attack.
We have learned, however, that there is an alternative to projection. Every ability of the ego has a better use, because its abilities are directed by the mind, which has a better Voice. The Holy Spirit extends and the ego projects. As their goals are opposed, so is the result.
The Holy Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this perfection is shared He recognizes it in others, thus strengthening it in both. Instead of anger this arouses love for both, because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one need in this world that is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the world. This is because it is the acknowledgement that you are not in this world, for the world is unhappy. Begin by relinquishing attack! Seek the Holy Spirit now to find peace.
The Truth about Energy Explained
All of life is a vibration. That which you call life (you could just as easily call it God) is pure energy. That energy is vibrating constantly, always, it is moving in waves. The waves vibrate at different speeds, producing differing degrees of density, or light. This, in turn, produces what you would call different “effects” in the physical world – actually, different physical objects. Yet while the objects are different and discreet, the energy which produces them is exactly the same.
An example: You use the air between your living room and dining room. It was a good use of imagery that just popped right out of you. An inspiration.
From guess where.
Yes, I gave it to you. Now you said that there was no specific place between those two physical locations where the “air of the living room” stopped and the “air of the dining room” began. And that is true. Yet there is a place where the “air of the living room” become less dense. That is, it dissipates, become “thinner.” So, too, the “air in the dining room.” The further from the dining room you go, the less you smell dinner!
Now the air in the house is the same air. There is no “separate air in the dining room. Yet the air in the dining room sure seems as though it is different air. But it is not. It is all the same air seeming different. In the living room you smell the fireplace, in the dining room you smell the dinner. You might even go into one room and say, “Wes, it’s stuffy. Let’s get some air in here,” as if there was no air at all. And yet, of course, there’s plenty of air. What you are wanting to do is change its characteristics.
So you bring in some of the air from outside. Yet that is the same air, too. There is only one air, moving in, around, and through everything.
Like the air in your house, the energy of life – what we’ll call the “Soul of God” – takes on different characteristics as it surrounds different physical objects. Indeed, the energy coalesces in a particular way to form those objects.
As particles of energy join together to form physical matter, they become very concentrated. Mashed up. Pushed together. They begin to “look like,” even “feel like,” distinct units. That is, they begin to seem “separate,” “different.” From all the other energy. Yet this is all the same energy behaving differently which makes it possible for That Which Is All to manifest as That Which is Many.
Your scientists are already discovering that the building blocks of all of life are the same.
They brought back rocks from the moon and found the same stuff they find in trees. They take apart a tree and find the same stuff they find in you.
I tell you this: We are all the same stuff. The same energy, coalesend, compressed in different ways to crate different forms and different matter.
Nothing “matters” in and of itself. That is, nothing can become matter all by itself. Jesus Christ said, “Without the Father, I am nothing. “The Father of all is pure thought. This is the energy of life. This is what you have chosen to call Absolute Love. This is the God and the Goddess, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. It is the All-in-All, the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source. It is that which you have sought to understand from the beginning of time. The Great Mystery, the Endless Enigma, the eternal truth.
