Lesson 10, Awakening

Listen:

Awakening

Therefore, the only question that a seeker of Truth really truly need ask himself/herself is this:

Would I know conflict or peace?

Would I be right or happy?

Would I see the complete neutrality of all events

in this world as wisps of a dream,

being birthed and passing away?

Would I see myself whole and complete?

For as I look upon the world, I have judged myself.

And as I look upon myself, I judge the world.

This was the simple secret that I once discovered when I walked upon your planet - that it wasn’t about achieving some grand mystical state of consciousness. It wasn’t about acquiring great powers that could attract the attention of thousands. It wasn’t even about being able to manifest, although these powers may indeed often express themselves through the mind as it awakens. It is about accepting the Truth that is true always, and being determined to allow that Truth to be the foundation from which you enjoin each and every moment of your experience.

I am awake.

 I am safe.

 I am at peace.

What do I truly want this moment to be for?

For as I decree it, so shall it be.

Beloved friends, the way is easy and without effort. You exist to extend your treasure. And your treasure is that which is laid up in Heaven through the decision to remember only your loving thoughts, to extend only loving thoughts, to allow your actions to express or to manifest, in the field of time, the good, the beautiful, and the holy. And never is your freedom taken from you. Never in any circumstance do you lose the innocent freedom to teach only Love, to be the presence of peace, to recognize that the world can give you nothing, just as the world can take nothing from you.

When a child goes through a shift of awareness - you call it the maturation process -there comes a point, not by struggle, not by design, not by much processing, not by any manner of strategies. The child merely, in an instant, looks at the toys that he has been playing with and simply transcends them. And the parents come home and the child has taken the toy truck and put it away in the closet. Hmm. The doll is put on the window sill and a book is picked up instead. Who makes the change? No one outside that child.

And when you put aside any negative habit, as you would perceive it to be, when you have given up placing value in something that no longer serves you, you merely transcend it, and it is done with - no big deal, no one does it for you, you simply decide. You pull back the value you had placed on it, and the objects that were the symbols of what you were valuing merely drop out of your life.

In just this way, unenlightenment can be put away as though it were a toy that you have outgrown by merely looking at all of the effects of unenlightenment, and then to ask the question,

Is this what I wish to have continue as my experience?
