I remember like it was yesterday, running to mama, crying “W-a-a-a-a-h, Mike said I was a human being! :'( I’m not a human being – I’m a girl!
Well, I’ve come a long way since then, I hope :p . But this is reminiscent of what I’m seeing everywhere these days – stuck-in-the-mud type thinking. A real Christian doesn’t do thus and so. They think thus and so. Living a schizoid life seems more “christian” than fully discovering their true Self. 🙁
On forgiveness –
WHERE IS OUR BLAMING LOCATED?
We tend to harbor enmity, judgement, criticism towards a person that we’re struggling to forgive. But where does our blaming exist sandwiched between two blaming thoughts?It’s not there! That’s the place of forgiveness. (ACIM calls it the Holy instant.) It happens outside of time as time requires thought. Between thoughts there isn’t such a thing as time.
During that timeless moment I am simply pure self-aware being, not having perceptions, feelings, sensations or even thoughts to regard. And the person we’re trying to forgive is exactly the same self-aware, unlimited person as we are. In that space is love: that’s what we have in common.
In other words with love as our shared being we can rise above the sensations and thoughts that color our perceptions. We have the same being and can experience the fact that we are one.
True forgiveness is not imposing forgiveness onto my thoughts: that’s why it never worked before. That place within ourselves that stands between two thoughts but is always present behind our thoughts is our actual empty, transparent, self-aware being, free of thinking and feeling.
We don’t have to forgive. We simply need to stand in that place where there is nothing to forgive there is only our being in love with the other person. That place is in between two thoughts.
The entire revelation of Jesus is that God is our very Life. “When you see me, you see the Father” (Jesus). What then is missing, or why don’t we see this reality? We are not aware because our religious instruction is so shallow, and so poor; we are not shown how to let go of self and realize our true Nature as Jesus did. Believing is a good first step, but it is not the same as inner realization.

I’m caught up in a dilemma
Not quite sure how to resolve.
I have a very full friends list
FB, twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn,
Bunch a blogs ‘n other stuff
Number exceeds 20,000
Not only that but the variety
Is most deliberate: all ages,
Races, levels of spiritual
So-called knowledge! From newbies
To gurus and back again,
If you know what I mean!
My hope, my dream, my heart’s delight
Is to alienate as few people as possible.
When those outside our sheltered
Internet world ask That Question:
“Are you a Christian”?
“It all depends on how one defines CHRISTIAN. If one is referring by that nomenclature to traditional doctrinal beliefs promulgated by a Western understanding of Holy Scriptures, then, NO, I AM not a “Christian.” However, if one means one’s belief in the Universality of the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS which is one with LOVE being one’s natural and only state, then, YES, I AM a Christian and brother to CHRIST and a Son of My Father.” <3 ~PA~.

Sometimes they need a “Yes/No” answer
As in the case of a
Brief presentation.
There’s simply not the time
Nor space to say, with AJJ, It depends.
The MOTH vs. the SEPARATE SELF
One was deemed real, but dies
as it approaches the Light.
The other never was real
so it leaves nothing to die
as it becomes overwhelmed.
The latter was imaginary
born of the ego or finite mind.
The latter is you and me
and our glorious love-laden
Christly imagination.
There is no death to a non-entity.
The ego gets seen through.
The person’s spiritual eyes open.
Seeing no one ever separated
From the Consciousness of God.
Good news! Good news!
The ego is not your enemy
to overcome in battle.
The ego is a non-entity,
a misapprehension,
having nothing to do with
“I” (God) who is really you!
Dwelling on the negative
is futility at its pristine best
futility born of pain and fear
unable to withstand any test
we open our eyes now and
begin to see I AM, God, is me.
I just had a fantasy interview in my mind. A big shot TV personality wants to question me:
BigShot: So, lemme see if I got this straight. Yer sayin’ . . .
theRobin: Lemme stop you right there. I DO NOT answer questions about Spirit in the material realm. I’ll give you three chances.
BigShot: Why don’t you …?
theRobin: Coz He ain’t there. Strike One.
BigShot: I thought you claimed …
theRobin: “I” didn’t “claim” anything. Strike Two.
BigShot: Wait a minute! I’m gonna mess up this whole interview just because I didn’t do a little due diligence. What can we tell our viewers that will open their eyes to the spiritual realm and enable them to glean its beneficence?
theRobin: YOU have just arrived!
Isn’t it spiritually logical that
we should have the promises of God
and the abilities of Jesus?
What is there to stop us? Nothing.
OUR IDENTITY is God’s very BE-ing.
It really, really, REALLY
behooves us then
to let the whole world slip away
as we bask in the glow of
perfection everywhere.
See your true identity
without beginning, without end
loving everything and everyone
out of our own effervescing bounty
HAVE THE COURAGE TO FORGET.
