Beloved One,
Integrity is a symbol of an integrated or whole mind, a mind in which
there is no conflict and nothing is out of accord. Integrity follows
from honesty, as honesty follows from trust, and by honesty I mean
consistency and by trust I mean trust in the Holy Spirit. It is
impossible to believe in the ego and have trust, honesty, or
integrity, and those who claim to teach or follow the simple
teachings of forgiveness in the Bible and A Course In Miracles are
called to expose and release the ego/judgment. This exposure and
release of ego/judgment is a path to Enlightenment / Salvation that
succeeds only through complete forgiveness. There is no partial
forgiveness as there is no partial healing. The mind which seeks to
compromise between the teachings of forgiveness and the self image
concepts of the ego is asking for the impossible. Truth is beyond
options, and there can be no compromise in the gateway of forgiveness
that leads to Divine Love.
The belief system of greed and possession and control must be
released entirely for trust, honesty, and integrity to be realized.
Jesus said you cannot serve two masters (God and money) and you
cannot see two worlds. The mind which attempts to possess has denied
its Spiritual Reality and the Truth of our Being.
Many come to Christ and say Lord, Lord, but their hearts are filled
with desires for control and posession. And Christ says "depart from
Me, I know you not." Christ lives in God, and in God there are no
illusions. Keep not one concept apart from the Light Within, or you
have raised an idol image in belief and have blocked the Light of
Love from awareness. Give away the belief in possession and control
and be happy! Recognize the Integrity of Whole Mind, Pristine,
Innocent, Pure, and Bright with Love.
You shall know them by their fruits. Love is not boastful or proud,
for Love accepts ItSelf as One with Its Creator. To be humble in the
Lord is to know One's True Identity in God: Pure Magnitude! Without
consistent purity of thought there is nothing to spirituality except
a 'show' of grandiosity - and this 'show' is but deception. Be
humble in God's Love by releasing every scrap of possessiveness and
pride and accepting the glory of "I am as God created Me."
The fruits of forgiveness and mind watching are Pure Joy!
Accept the Gifts of the Spirit Now! Be not tempted by specialness
and the littleness of form when the Content of Spirit is available
for the Asking. Behold the Good News of the Kingdom Now.
I have gratitude for Helen allowing herself to be used to bring the
teachings of Jesus through her mind and into form so they could be
used by many now and for generations to come. Like most people, Helen
had enormous resistance to fully applying the teachings and
experiencing the Atonement and the peace that comes from complete
forgiveness. In this regard, Helen was among the majority of people
who fear God's Perfect Love.
Awakening to God's Love requires the relinquishment of all attempts to
deny the Truth by clinging to false self-concepts, including the mask
of a `human identity.' The ego made the mask of personality/world to
hide the Christ from awareness, and thus even the concepts of
`spiritual person,' or `miracle worker' or `teacher of God' can become
false identity idols if they are accepted in mind as anything more
than symbols that the Holy Spirit uses on a temporary basis.
Exposing the ego is the way the ego is released from awareness, just
as hiding and protecting the ego is how the ego is kept in awareness.
Authentic Awakening always involves bringing the darkness to the
Light, or bringing illusions to Truth. When this is practiced without
exceptions, the `undoing' or `dissolving away' of the ego is complete,
and the mind is accepted as whole. The integrated or whole mind
demonstrates or reflects the Oneness of God's Love: the Christ,
forever in Union with God. The ego fears the Holy Spirit and
forgiveness because the ego senses a `threat' to its existence, and
denial is a mechanism the ego uses to hold onto the `spiritual
self-concept' when faced with the alternative of genuine forgiveness
and opening to the experience of the perfect Abstraction of God's Love
in Christ.
I frequently share the story about two doors with signs above the
doors. One door has a sign: "Lecture on Heaven' and the other door has
a sign which simply reads `Heaven.' Many people are lined up for the
lecture, willing to pay money to get inside the door and sit passively
through another set of words and hear more `instructions' about
improving the self-concept. Jesus stands at the door marked `Heaven'
and bids all to enter into the experience of the Present Moment, Which
extends throughout Eternity. To experience the Present Moment requires
that all self-concepts be laid aside, for the entrance into the State
of Mind some have called Heaven is the escape from concepts. Heaven is
an experience, not a concept.
Jesus once said that if one values father or mother or son or daughter
or husband or wife more than God, then this one is not worthy of the
Christ. The ego made the concepts and roles and images of the world to
take the place of Christ in awareness. Love is Pure Abstraction. Love
is Content. God knows not form. And therefore salvation is nothing
more than the escape from concepts. Helen was an example of one who
fulfilled a very important task in the Plan of Awakening, though she
was very afraid of letting go of the ego entirely.
The ego has its own plan for salvation and its plan always entails
maintaining a self-concept that God did not create. God creates Spirit
and extends Divine Love. The ego was a belief that was made to deny
God, to deny Love. Every thought of ego, of time and space, of persons
and places and things, that is used to maintain a self-concept that
God did not create, is part of a state of denial. Do not attempt to
deny Love, for Love is Who You Are. God is but Love, and therefore so
am I. Do not be afraid of Love, for What I Am proclaims what the
Universe Is. There is only Love, nothing else. Yet if one attempts to
cling to the concepts of the world, the experience of Love is denied
from awareness.
I am Calling you out of the world.
My Kingdom is not of this world.
Accept My invitation and be Happy.
The Way to accept Atonement is made clear.
Begin with this:
Never underestimate the power of denial.
Embrace this:
Not one thought the world believes is true.
Rejoice forever in this:
I am as God created Me.
Forever and ever in Love,
David
