Victim or Co-Creator?
My dear friends...
I made the point here last week that in the world of Duality Thinking (which is the world in which most of us live), you could imagine that somebody else is “doing something” to you, or that some seemingly uncontrollable outward condition has been encountered by you, without you having had anything to do with it. Let me go on this week to say that such a thing is impossible, given that Duality is not the Reality, yet in the world of our illusion such...
You are co-creating life's events
My dear friends...
Here in the Bulletin we have been exploring the nature of the events of life that appear in our reality every day. It is sometimes assumed that you have no control over exterior conditions, circumstances, or events--and I know that it can very often feel that way--but, in truth, you are co-creating them with others in your life--remembering, of course, as I have mentioned in previous weeks, how we are using the word "create" as a synonym for remember.
(To recap: When you...
Events and Experience are not the same
My dear friends...
Last week in this space I mentioned that all of us are "choosing to have" all of the experiences that we are having, moment-to-moment. For some, this is hard to believe. Why in the world would we choose some of those worst events of our lives?
To begin to grasp the idea above, it is important for us to remember that an Experience and an Event are not the same thing. An "Event" is something that is occurring in your exterior environment. All Events are co-created by the...
Doing things you never did before
My dear friends...
We spoke in our last Bulletin about what happens when you have The Holy Experience. This experience is what results when you notice what is already there in your life, and step into the demonstrating of it as you walk through your daily moments. Everything shifts in those moments, because you are experiencing them in a new way. Nothing has changed, but everything is different.
If you are picking up this conversation in the middle here, it may serve you to go back an issue...
Making your life larger
My dear friends...
Last week in this space I offered you six words, given to me by God, that could change your life. Those words again: Your life is not about you. Powerful, powerful words. Life changing words. And when I embraced those words, and all they brought when put into action, I had given myself the Holy Experience as it relates to my larger life in the world.
How? By giving me a direct experience of Who I Really Am. And that is what I came here for. That is what I'd been yearning...
Your life is not about you
My dear friends...
Last week in this space I said that there is a reason that taking the focus off of myself and placing on others has worked so effectively in changing my life, and I promised that I would continue that discussion this week.
The reason is that there's no such thing as "other" people. Everyone else is me. We are all one.
Separation is an illusion. No one is separate from anyone else. Therefore, what I do for you I do for me, and what I fail to do for you, I fail to do for...
Why can't I be happy?
My dear friends...
The most amazing message I ever received in the Conversations with God dialogue consisted of six words. In just a half dozen sounds I was given everything I needed to know about the experience I was having on the earth.
I was in a deep place of wondering why, up to that point, my life was not bringing me the happiness I was seeking, even though I was almost always doing work that I loved to do, being with significant others that I loved to be with, and enjoying a family...
No such thing as Right & Wrong?
My dear friends...
One of the most controversial concepts in the messages of CwG is the idea that there is no absolute right and no absolute wrong in God’s universe.
The human mind finds this difficult to accept. If there is no absolute right, how can we know when we are on the path to God? By what measure shall we estimate our progress? By what determination shall we know what our actions should be in any given circumstance? How shall we create our laws? What shall constitute our...
Where does time go?
My dear friends...
I am struck again by how fast the years of our lives go by. I am, to be honest, utterly amazed that we are already over half way through this year. I can’t imagine where this time went...
What I am clear about is that the days of our lives blow past very swiftly --- and that what used to feel like longer moments within those days seem now like only nanoseconds.
To me, this means that I am being invited by Life Itself to use every single solitary moment to create...
Meditation on the 'Go'
My dear friends...
Conversations with God invites us to strive always for awareness. It even gives us several formulas by which we can arrive at this place of consciousness. One of the most effective of these methods is meditation. There are many ways to meditate, and it was a wonderful discovery when I learned this.
One of the most powerful forms of meditation for me is what I have called Stopping Meditation. The reason this is so powerful for me is that it can be done anywhere, and it...
