The Way of Mastery ~ Lesson 4 ~ Following theThread of Desire
Jan Waldhoff
Hi Everyone
Good morning, what a powerful subject. How did you react to that title? I personally thought WOW! Yeah bring it on!!! And then I thought wait… that is kind of scary... have what I want??? It was hard for me to think about. I admit I have not done this exercise yet, I have read it four times. Yep four! I have kept myself busy so that I can’t think about things like that. I am living as I was taught, work your butt off and prove yourself. Well enough about me…Let’s get into the meat of it!!!! I choose to make a different choice. I choose my desires, what it is that I am guided to make me happy? I am curious. Come and join us and see what others have to say about it and what they might have to say about this chapter too.
We are meeting down stairs in the Fellowship Hall, back to our stomping grounds. Yeah! We are going to celebrate this week with some goodies. Doug and I will bring something to share. I will get there to make the big tea pot of water warm and ready. If you feel moved to bring something please do. We want to celebrate the holidays, you, the thread of desire, our happiness, Life! come and join us! Following the lesson is the main information on the class. Anyone can join at anytime. There isn't a wrong time to join.
Following the Thread of Desire - Lesson 4
· Page 41 You are a wave arising from the infinite ocean of Love that is the presence of God. (Jeshua ben Joseph speaking) I am the wave that has arisen from the ocean of my Father’s holy mind. And through two waves seem to appear separated by what is called time - by two thousand of your years when seen from a much broader perspective, those waves have risen simultaneously from the ocean’s surface. They arise for the very same purpose: to express the simplicity, the innocence, the beauty, the creativity the truth and the reality of the ocean itself. (God). The visual of who we are...
· Page 42 You must find your own way to your truth. For before each and every one of you lies your pathway, a door way and eye of a needle through which only you can fit. Therefore, in some respects you are seemingly alone. You must make the decision to desire – above all things – awakening into perfect remembrance of your own union with God.
· Page 43 If someone asks, “Who are you?” Please don’t give them a name….say
Who am I? I am the extension of Love in form.
I have never been born and I will never taste death.
I am infinite and eternal.
I shine forth as a sunbeam to the sun.
I am the effect to God’s love.
And I stand before you to Love you.
Pretty radical huh?
· Page 45 Everything is the effect of desire
· Page 45 The power of choice is the one power that can never be taken from you.
· Page 53 The soul knows that were it to follow such a thread through whole and total commitment, it will be embarking on the pathway set before you by God that knows how to take you home.
If you arrive at home, it will mean that you will have had to give up being a seeker. You will have had to become one who is found. And you will have had to rise above the crowd. You will have to give up all your identity with smallness. You will have to give up needing the approval of others. You will have left the nest of insanity. You will have arisen and taken up your rightful place at the right hand of God. Is not that the deepest fear you carry - to actually be the truth of who you are: Christ incarnate?
Enough said how can you beat that last section? OMG!!!!
How much of God’s Love are you willing to receive?
