Part Three
The Way of Knowing
Lesson 25 ~ You Remain As You Are Created To Be
“If you become wholly
committed to awakening from the dream you have dreamt since the stars first
began to appear in the heavens and if your one desire is to be only what God created,
then lay at the altar of your heart with every breath, everything you think you
know, everything you think you need, and look lovingly upon every place that
fear has made a home in your mind, and allow correction to come. It will come.
Regardless of how you experience it, it will come.
And the day and the moment will arise and all of your pain and fear and
suffering will have vanished like a wind that pushes the foam of the wave away,
revealing the clarity of the ocean beneath you. You will literally feel
throughout your being that there never was a dream. Some memories might remain
with you and you will know that somewhere you must have dreamt a dream or had a
thought of wondering what it would be like to be other than the way God created
you, but it will be such a faint echo that it will leave no trace upon you. In
your heart you will smile gently regardless of the circumstances in which you
find yourself. There will be peace from the crown of the head to the tips of
the toes, and that peace will walk before you wherever you go. It will enter a
room before you enter it with a body, and those who are becoming sensitive will
wonder who has come into their place. And some will even say, “Behold, I
believe Christ has come for dinner.” And you will be that One, for that is who
you are—Christ eternal. “

The Final
Surrender ~ There is Only God ~ What, then, is required for true knowledge
to exist? How does one live—in whatever dimension of creation—when they abide
in true knowing?
·
Within the dream itself, as long as you choose
to be identified with it, you will
experience the effects of the choices that you have made. Yet, now, as the
heart has touched purification and as you have truly been willing to allow
transformation to occur, all that matters and must be remembered is that you,
as you thought yourself to be, has never truly existed. It has been a smoke
screen.
·
…you needed to use allowance in the process of
transformation, allowing yourself to feel what you did not want to feel before.
· THE FINAL SURRENDER—THERE IS ONLY GOD ~ For in surrender you look upon a perfectly harmless world, whether it seems to be outside of the body or within the body-mind itself.
·
No longer is there a self-seeking God. Where and
when that self has been surrendered, the mind awakens to the simple reality
that there is only God. And you are That One.
·
The awakened mind—awakened from false
arrogance—looks upon all things and says:
“I am that One”
·
What, then, is required for true knowledge to
exist? What is indeed required to abide in The Way of Knowing?
·
God is what requires true knowledge. The thirst
that you have felt for God is God’s thirst for Herself. You are literally the
field of awareness of God in which God has awareness of Himself because you are
the power of God. And only by that power have you ever been able to be aware of
something that has appeared to be other than God. For even fear rests in
Love.
·
YOU HAVE
THE POWER TO AWAKEN TO YOUR TRUE NATURE NOW
~Have you suffered because
God has chosen it? Not at all, for in truth—and please listen
carefully—suffering does not exist. Only the reality of Love can exist. You are
that one with the power to be awakened to your true nature—right here, right
now!
I If there was something you had to do to get to God, then God is apart from where you are. Yet it is the very Love of pure consciousness that gives you the power to perceive that there is something you must do to get to God. Therefore, God is always present.
·
The Way of Knowing, then, is a way of
unobstructed feeling, unobstructed allowance, not only of what is around you,
but what is arising from within you.
·
…consider that you do not know what a single
thing is or is for. I (Jesusa speaking) did this because you believed that you
were a separate self, and that your judgments and perceptions and definitions
of things had a reality outside of your mind. Therefore, I asked of you, “Look
around in perfect humility, for you do not know what a single thing is, or is
for.”
·
Nothing can prevent you from looking with Love
and allowing the play and display of form to continue its dance of birth and
death, joining and distancing, creating and dissolution.
· There can be no greater joy than to arrive in each moment with nothing to be acquired, nothing to be accomplished, and nothing to be resisted. When resistance has been released, through the simple choice to release it, you will discover and know that all along, in reality, there has only been God.
·
LIVING IN
UNOBSTRUCTED LIFE
~ Remember that your suffering has come only
from the illusion that you are a separate body-mind subject to the ravages of
time, the insecurities of the world, surely to become a victim of death. The
whole time, in reality, you are the power by which you chose that
belief!
· Does this mean that you can merely say, “I am awake now and I don’t need to feel that feeling that’s coming up”? Not at all! For Love does not resist anything. Love embraces all things. Love desires all things. Love awakens to the Truth that only God is. And God would embrace the totality of His creation through you, as you, in you, for you and for Himself! For there is no difference between God and you. You are that One.
HoHow, then, does an awakened one live? I gave you the answer earlier: any way that that awakened one wants to! And here now, please understand, we come to the essence of what we will be doing in the lessons that follow. For no longer will we live in questions about what we ought to do. No longer will I ask you to live in questions of what went wrong, but rather, in the purity of the power of the one question that God dwells in constantly: What do I want?
·
What could possibly exist except the Love of
God? I chose to look upon the body-mind and live only in the question, “What do
I want?” One thing I chose was to demonstrate the unreality of death. What will
you choose to demonstrate? For see not in my demonstration something grand and
beyond you, but rather see that everything you demonstrate is equal to that
same power. For it flows from that power, it abides in that power,
power,
it manifests that power. It is the living breath and reality of God!
What do you want?
