(This is the channeled fourth chapter of a book manuscript.)
When we come together in Love, we understand that there can be no division in Truth. The divisions our mind has made up are illusions. We can’t see this from the mind’s perspective, however. We’re still trapped in the mind’s narrow perspective. When we perceive from Love, we’ll see that togetherness is the natural state. Togetherness is where we all come from and where we’re all going
We need to understand that in order to come back to togetherness, things have to change. Things in this world have to change. Or more correctly, our perceptions of this world have to change. The things that we don’t understand now will all make a lot of sense once we begin the shift. The shift will come in several phases. The first phase is to open our inner eyes, our inner seeing. This is the first stage to really understand the Truth of life. We can’t see the Truth unless we connect to the Truth within. This is true seeing, true vision. When we’re connected to the Truth within, the Love within, then we can see the world clearly. We can see the Truth of this world, not the ugliness and division.
Holding on to things takes us deeper into our mind separation. We can’t do this if we want to be free. Learning to let go of things is very important. Learning to let go of our attachment to things. Even things you hold Love for, or people you hold Love for. We have to learn to let go of these things when the time is right.
The mind doesn’t want to let go, however. This is why there’s fighting and struggling when relationships end. Often there are lawyers involved and lots of ugly emotions like anger and hate. But what really needs to happen is we need to find the Love and stay there. Even when it’s time to let go, we find the Love and stay there.
Knowing when to let go is important also. There is no formula for this. It comes from being connected to the Love within. Love knows what to do. Truth knows the right action. The light within doesn’t waiver. The light within knows the correct course of action. The Love, the Truth, the light within, will act through you if you allow them to. There’s no need to struggle with decisions. If you connect to the depth of your Self, which is the Love/light/source/Truth/peace within, you don’t need to question your actions. The actions will come. Your life will flow.
There’s no need for resistance and fear. There’s no need for anger and pain. We’re not going to admonish you for these things because these are things that have been ingrained in you through your conditioning. This is the conditioning of a world that’s run by the separate mind. The separate mind doesn’t understand Love and unity. The separate mind doesn’t understand that you can still love one another when your relationship changes.
When a relationship transforms, you don’t need to cling to your ideas and beliefs about that person and the way things should be. You can just let go and continue to hold the Love. The Love is what connects you with everyone. this can never be cut off. What cuts off the Love is illusion. It’s not real. These negative emotions of anger and hate, and fear and jealousy, all of these are falsities of the separate mind and its ugliness. These are things that cover up the Love. But the Love is still there. It’s just a matter of finding it again. Even if you’ve had a very difficult relationship transition with someone, you can still find the Love for that person. You can still connect to them on that level. It doesn’t matter if they reciprocate. It only takes one person to love.
Love is everything. Love is the whole world. When you connect to Love, you are everything, you are the world. You don’t need any illusions of your mind to reflect that back to you. You don’t need anything to reflect your light back to you. When you’re truly connected to the Love within, the light within, the Truth within, that will shine forth so brightly that you’ll embody the whole world. Your Love will hold the world inside of it.
When you root yourself in the separate mind, you’re rooting yourself in illusion. You’re rooting yourself in something fleeting. It’s something that has no stability. It’s something that has no form. It has no substance to it. It just pretends to represent the Truth. But it’s actually made up of illusions and falsehoods.
We’re not here to embody illusions and falsehoods. We’re not here to embody negativity and ugliness. We’re not here to embody fear. We’re here to love one another. We’re here to embody Love. We’re here to represent Love in this world. We’re not here to represent illusion. We’re not here to represent fear or hate or anger. We’re here to connect to the Love that underlies everything. And this is the only way to be at peace. This is the only way to find true happiness. True happiness means resting in Love.
We’re not going to go into the difficulties of our mind traps right now. We’ll talk about these later. Right now we want to talk about hope. We want to talk about true hope—not the false hope of illusions of grandeur and specialness. We’re not going to talk about the hope of getting things that will make us happy. Nothing in the external world will make us happy. True hope is about coming back to Love. True hope means bringing this world back to Love. It means each individual coming back to Love. This is what hope means. Hope means returning to Love. There is hope for humanity. Humanity can return to Love.
Loving one another is our hope for the future. And by the future, we mean the now. The future means our projection of the now. So hope has to be found now. Hope has to be found deep within. Hope has to be found inside of our hearts. That is the Love within.
We’re not going to be able to show you how to find hope, but we will be able to show you how to open the door. You have to find it yourself by going through the door. The door is easily accessible. Your mind doesn’t want you to know this. Your mind wants you to stay trapped in its insanity, its erroneous thinking. It wants you to stay trapped in turbulent emotions that obscure the truth of Love. But the doorway is very easy to find. All you have to do is sit in your quiet place and go into your heart space, go into a deep meditation beyond the thoughts and emotions:
Focus on your heart space. Notice how your heart feels. Notice how your breathing feels. See if you can feel the beating of your heart. See if you can feel the energy of your heart. See if you can rest in that energy. Rest in that energy of your heart space while watching your breath flow in and out. You should feel like you’re floating, like you’re supported by a cloud of peace. While you’re in this deep meditative space, you can look for the door to Love. Look for the door to hope. There’s a very simple mantra you can use to find it:
Please help me find the door to Love.
Now when the door appears, it was actually already there, but now it’s apparent to you. Now you can see it. So now that you can see it, all you have to do is go over to it, and, if it’s shut, open it and walk through. If it’s already open, just walk through. It’s that simple. We can’t take that last step for you. You have to be willing to go through the door. We can only show you how to find it.
Coming out of the meditation is just a matter of opening your eyes. You don’t have to come back out of the doorway. In fact, you should stay on the other side of the doorway. When you stay in that place, in that place of Love, everything becomes very easy. There’s nothing to be afraid of. The things we’re letting go of are things that are holding us back. They’re things that we didn’t need anyway. They’re things that aren’t real that are just supporting our illusions of negativity and separateness.
Loving one another is very simple once we’ve found the door to Love. You don’t ever need to leave Love. When you feel things trying to pull you out of Love, go back and find the doorway again and go back through. If your ex-wife or ex-husband calls you and yells at you, you don’t have to react with ugliness. Stay in love. This is very important. We must learn to do this with everyone we interact with. We must learn to stay in Love. We must learn to hold Love and compassion for everyone we meet. If they’re yelling at us or trying to pull us into their negativity, they’re just lost. They’ve lost the love. They’ve lost the doorway to love. Love can actually never be lost. They’re lost in their minds. They’re lost in the turbulence and ugliness and separateness of their minds.
The mind believes that it’s separate from other minds and other bodies and it needs to defend itself against them—it needs to defend itself with attacks of ugliness. This includes judgments, criticism, anger, and hate. These are all things that the mind uses to justify its belief in separateness. But our hearts aren’t separate. Our hearts are connected in the Love. Our hearts are connected in Truth. Our hearts are connected in hope, so let’s join together in this hope, in this Love. Let’s live together in Love. This is a much better way to be in the world.
The normal way of being in the world is actually insane. It’s very painful and isn’t helping anybody achieve happiness or peace. We’ve got to let go of this way now. We’ve got to let go of this way of being. We’ve got to return to Truth, to Love, to hope. Love is here. Love is always here. Don’t choose separateness anymore. Don’t choose to be special. Don’t choose to create division anymore. We’re all on this path together. We’re all learning to come back to Love. When we resist this path, when we decide to stay trapped in the vortex of negativity, the vortex of pain and suffering, then we’re choosing to stay in insanity. We’re choosing insanity over Love. And that in and of itself is insane. Choosing pain and suffering over Love is insane.
There is always a choice. You always have a choice. You may have only a split second to make that choice, but it’s still a choice. Every time you interact with someone, you have a choice. Your unconscious mind conditioning, your vortex of negativity, is very quick to swoop in and suck you into its old patterns. But in the split second before it does that, you have a choice. You can choose Love. And the more you choose Love, the more the gap increases—the more you see the insanity of your mind before it takes hold of you and reacts for you. Don’t let your mind react for Love anymore. Love should be your automatic reaction. Love should be your reaction to everything. And Love is not always gentle. This is a misconception. Love can be forceful when it needs to be. Love always does the right thing. When you allow Love to come through you, it will do the right thing in the moment. Choosing Love doesn’t mean lying down and letting someone attack you violently or even verbally. Choosing Love means allowing Love to speak through you and for you. It means allowing Love to support you in your decisions and to run your life.
Look at what’s running your life now. Look deeply at what’s running your life now. When you’re confronted with something in your day that doesn’t go the way that your mind wants it to go, how do you react? Then how do you make decisions? Where are your decisions coming from throughout your day? What’s making your decisions? This is what you need to look at very closely. Then you’ll understand what’s been running your life. And then you can choose differently. You can choose for Love to run your life. You can choose for Love to flow through you.
There’s no need to resist and try to control things. When your mind and emotions try to control your experiences, then that’s what’s running your life. It’s a very painful way to live. It’s a very isolating way to live. Choosing to live from Love means living in unity, in togetherness with one another. It means even if you’re alone, you can still feel the togetherness. If you choose to live from Love, you’ll never be lonely.
Loving one another is not a trick. It’s not something that can be faked. It’s not a type of superficial politeness. It’s not a type of people pleasing. This is true Love we’re talking about. This is not just niceties.
When we let go of all of our conditioned ways of being, we’ll find that things are so much easier. We don’t have to struggle anymore. We don’t have to inflict pain upon ourselves and others. This has been our normal way of living. We don’t have to live in an ugly world where people travel around in their individual bumper cars with their defenses up, never allowing anyone truly into their hearts.
True Love is not about trying to get something from one another. True Love is not about trying to manipulate one another. Love does not manipulate. Love only loves. We’re going to keep talking about this. This is a point that needs repeating. Love does not manipulate. Love does not cause pain. True Love doesn’t try to separate people. True Love doesn’t create artificial boundaries between peoples and nations. True Love sees all with compassion and offers help to those who need it. True Love never causes fear. True Love only causes hope. Let’s hold the hope that humanity comes together in Love and all people find peace in loving one another.
