Innocent Light of God. These words declare the state of Being that has no resemblance to the ego\u2019s identity. And yet, to accept that you are innocence itself, that you are Light itself must be the choosing that changes everything. When the Divine gave us choice, it was to truly encompass choice as the most precious gift that we could ever imagine. And in the direction of Love, Spirit directs to choose to open to the awareness that choice is essential. That it isn\u2019t a gift that was given because it was your birthday, or it was you\u2019re retiring, some kind of parting gift. The gift of choice is the essential power that must be embraced in its totality. And while choice is being learned, mistakes will be made. That\u2019s a given in a sense. It\u2019s not expected or anticipated, but it is understood.<\/p>\n

That every Beloved will mistakenly choose the shiny objects, will mistakenly choose the pleasure seeking, will mistakenly choose to be right. But these are places of deep learning. To finally make the true connection of cause and effect. But when you choose the power of Love and you choose to follow and you choose to learn and you choose to not know but to be shown, you are learning the power of your choice. You are truly learning that within your choosing is your road to freedom or your status quo road that keeps you in the belief of separation. Every single time you choose, which could incorporate the entire day…choosing. Because everything that you believed was true within the world and looking for everything outside is being called to be completely turned upside down.<\/p>\n

Imagine the spiritual journey like a journey to another country where you didn\u2019t speak the language and had completely different ways of being and different setups, a different time zone and different everything. And you insisted on doing it your way of what you know. It wouldn\u2019t take very long before you\u2019re miserable from the insistence that your way is the right way. And the same thing occurs in the spiritual journey. You become affected by your decisions. And eventually, you will make a much deeper connection that your way is the way of misery and pain. And the way of the light is the way of peace and harmony. But the ego\u2019s decision of being right can be very tenacious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

And so, it is to…in the very first way, to accept that the gift of choice is precious.<\/p>\n

The gift of choice is your key to opening the door to truth, to reality, to peace. Embrace the choice. And as you go deeper and deeper into choosing again and again. And the way of Love…your awareness expands. And your trust grows so much deeper. But, eventually, the choice becomes no choice at all. You can\u2019t even imagine choosing pain and suffering. You can\u2019t even imagine choosing to be right when all it\u2019s done is bring to a place of misery in the past. And the reluctant learner, the resistant student becomes the happy learner, happy to be mistaken of your own choices, happy that you weren\u2019t right because God\u2019s way is another dimension. God\u2019s way is Love and Light, the setting of everyone free. Choose the way of sanity and you will never be in regret.<\/p>\n

So, in this moment, affirming deeply that choice is the great gift…the treasure. And when you choose based on your willingness, you are the bringer of Light. Affirming in the moment that this universe is all Love. To choose Love is to choose reality. There is only one Presence here \u2013 it is the life force of God. And everyone…every living element of God\u2019s creation lives and moves and breathes within that Light, that life force, that Oneness. Only Love. This Sanctuary is filled with Love. Nothing else exists. Holding Truth, holding Love. Moment to moment. As the Heart says YES. Simply YES. YES.<\/p>\n

This is a hymn that speaks to the YES. It\u2019s a choice. And this hymn asks for help to teach me how to love. Show me how to choose. Show me the way.<\/p>\n

[Sings]<\/p>\n

Mother, my mother
\nPlease come here, please,
\nTo teach this child of yours
\nTo teach this child of yours
\nWho doesn\u2019t yet know how to love. Who doesn\u2019t yet know how to love. Oh mother, Queen Mother,
\nI ask with all my heart.
\nPlease send your angel Please send your archangel To teach me how to love. To teach me how to love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Teach me how to love. Well the ego says \u201cI don\u2019t need to be taught how to love. I know it just fine.\u201d Except that everything that has been called love in the world has been based on fear, has been based on negotiations, has been based on differences, proving, getting. And here is the calling. Really teach me how to love. Teach me how to go past all that I\u2019ve made up. And really open to walk in love, as love, with love and in love.<\/p>\n

And all that we have to do is to get into the little boat. Let the little boat be navigated. Choose to be led. Choose to follow. Choose to not know. And allow the Divine to lead the way.<\/p>\n

The small boat is coming.
\nIt\u2019s the Love, the Light
\nAnd it is a small boat that is here.
\nIt\u2019s opening the path to God, our Lord.
\nBlessed Mother is guiding my boat
\nAs you rest and affirm
\nI surrender, I surrender, I surrender
\nTo the will of the eternal Light, the eternal Father And in my heart I proclaim
\nThat I am the kingdom of Love.<\/p>\n

This prayer can take you so deeply into surrender. To truly be in a small boat and to trust that your journey is being directed by Love itself. And that for the first time in your many lifetimes that you\u2019re finally tired of trying to control and trying to make it your way rather than just the way of God. How easy that is.<\/p>\n

Today<\/p>\n

I
\nDo not
\nWant to step so quickly
\nOver a beautiful line on God\u2019s palm. As I move through the earth\u2019s Marketplace
\nToday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

I do not want to touch any object in This world
\nWithout my eyes testifying to the Truth<\/p>\n

That everything is My Beloved.<\/p>\n

Something has happened
\nTo my understanding of existence That now makes my heart always Full of wonder
\nAnd kindness.<\/p>\n

I do not
\nWant to step so quickly
\nOver this sacred place on God\u2019s Body-the earth,
\nThat is right beneath your
\nOwn foot.<\/p>\n

As I
\nDance with Precious life Today. [Hafiz]<\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

I
\nDo not
\nWant to step so quickly
\nOver a beautiful line on God\u2019s palm. As I move through the earth\u2019s Marketplace
\nToday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

What a beautiful declaration of an intention. And in that moment that definitely was the choice that was being chosen between my way and God\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

The one area that is more than likely the most attached element within the ego life is wanting…we touched on this a few days ago…wanting to correct, wanting to have it your way. Whatever it is. And I began looking at that today.<\/p>\n

What if there was a month-long retreat? And in this month-long retreat everything was perfectly orchestrated. And there were Beloveds there that would take care of anything that was needing attention. So that nothing in your everyday, moment-to-moment existence would have no room…there would be no invitation, that there would be no possibility of changing things so that they would be according to how you like them.<\/p>\n

So, everybody\u2019s seat would be given to them. And there was no room for correcting where you were sitting or where you didn\u2019t like somebody sitting in front of you…but you have to accept every single element and trust in its perfection. Trust that there was a learning within acceptance. And then you went, in this retreat…everyone took care of their own toiletries and, you know, everything like that, your own personal effects.<\/p>\n

But, when you went to work in the kitchen in this retreat, everything had a plan already. And nobody asked any of the retreat participants how they liked their food or what was a better way of making it or anything. It was just acceptance of everything the way it was. And there were musicians, and your mind wanted to say \u201cI wish they played those instruments differently. I wish they would have a different relationship with the violin. I like it better another way.\u201d And all of the gatherings were orchestrated and everything in you could see a different way of doing it and felt that a different way would be better. But, the whole purpose of the retreat was to let go and trust that it was all in perfection, and all for learning.<\/p>\n

Where would the need for the correction go? That nobody had any way of changing how the table was set. Or nobody was able to change how the dishwasher was being loaded up. Or nobody was able to change the lights that got used. And you weren\u2019t asked for your preference on where you sat or who sat next to you. And just when you thought this was over the top, you\u2019re seated next to someone who has a really loud voice and speaks their mind. But your intention and your calling to this retreat was that you have no judgments, no opinions. So you\u2019re asked to see this Beloved who\u2019s sitting next to you as the Christ, as the Light of God, and nothing else. Because so far, everything that\u2019s been attached to…the way the kitchen\u2019s run, the way people are doing laundry, sitting, whatever. Everything is a certain way. And your main purpose in all of this is to have no judgment, to have no opinion, and because you have no judgment, recognize that there is nothing to correct. Nothing to correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

So there\u2019s going to be a ritual in this retreat. And all the chairs are set up. Nobody asked if anybody liked the way the chairs were set up. And then there\u2019s a Beloved going around and lighting candles, turning lights on. And again, nobody asks anybody whether there\u2019s enough light or it\u2019s too dark or anything else. They have a ritual that they\u2019re doing. And over and over and over again you\u2019re called to accept. To just accept that everything is in perfection, even though it\u2019s nothing that you…your habits are completely different. But you\u2019re called to accept.<\/p>\n

What is that? To accept and not have an opinion about how things are put together, orchestrated, run. It\u2019s this incredible opportunity and one that is so essential to healing and to Love. Because everything that anyone wants to correct has that urge to have it different, see it different, want it different, believe from the depths of your identity that you have the right way, and it\u2019s better.<\/p>\n

In this retreat, you start to see the addiction. The addiction of your way, your habits, of how things are accepted or not accepted in all different kinds of ways. But this is like going to another country where they don\u2019t speak the same language and they do everything in a slightly different way. And you\u2019re not asked about your opinions of how you do it. You\u2019re called to accept it. Everything about trying to be in control and have things…that you have a better way that you want to tell everybody how it should be in a particular way. And everybody\u2019s got a different way about that. But every single thing is going to be about something in form. It\u2019s not about Spirit. And that\u2019s the clue. The clue is is that there\u2019s no healing when you try to change or make better the form. Because what you\u2019re really here for is to choose to see the Light of every Beloved beyond the form. Beyond the form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

So, could you say to the Christ, so here\u2019s the Beloved who you\u2019re here to see as the Christ light, and can you see them as the Christ light and want to correct them? Because the correction would say \u201cyou\u2019re not the Christ light.\u201d The Christ light doesn\u2019t need correction. There\u2019s plenty of forgiveness needed. But it\u2019s not about correction ever. As soon as there seems to be the need for correction, it\u2019s the belief in the form. Now that doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s never improvement within the form. But it comes from a completely different place. It doesn\u2019t come from a personal knowing. It comes from asking even there, the Spirit of Love, what would be most helpful? Is there another way of looking at this?<\/p>\n

Having been in so many rituals and have been able to see how Spirit works within the form of a ritual, that there is a Divine Geometry that can\u2019t be seen by the eyes. It can\u2019t be seen by the ego\u2019s mind. It can\u2019t be a habit…at all. It\u2019s a sacred geometry that is beyond the senses of the ego, the eyes, the ears, which are held as such important elements that they\u2019re really…they\u2019re just seen with the eyes and hearing with the ears. But you\u2019re hearing through the ego in most of that. You have to really surrender the senses into the hands of God so that they can be used in a different way – the Light of Love. But it\u2019s all surrender<\/p>\n

But, in those rituals, you could see the sacred geometry and listen to the Holy Spirit…how things were to be orchestrated. The beauty of that, not only the learning of another dimension, but it was the deep surrender of the personal. That there was nothing personal, there was nothing to bring of history from the past to be brought there. And that\u2019s the same thing with correction. You can\u2019t bring love and bring the past of what you think you know and want to correct. You can\u2019t serve love and serve the ego at the same time. It\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n

If you take certain teachings, you see the pattern is so clear of not correcting. So if you just begin with I do not understand anything I see. So, if you don\u2019t understand anything that you see, and that is your schoolroom, then how can you correct it? If you don\u2019t understand anything that you see and you\u2019re embracing that you don\u2019t understand anything that you see. It\u2019s been given meaning that you gave to it. So, where would the correction come in? It would be foolish to think that your way has anything to do with love. All it is is a habit that you\u2019ve believed in. But it has no value because it\u2019s held as so personal. It\u2019s held as \u201cthis is my way. This is what I know works. And if I don\u2019t do what I know works, I get scared.\u201d Because that\u2019s really the key. The key is, \u201cif I don\u2019t get to do it my way, I get really scared because I feel out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

So, then you have in this retreat…let\u2019s say there\u2019s 30 Beloveds, and do they all feel out of control, because none of them are having their opinions asked for or invited? Likely there may be 30 fears that are going on. 30 panics that are trying to figure out how to stay at peace, but wanting their way, because it\u2019s what brings the perception of comfort, even though it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

I have given what I see all the meaning that it has for me.<\/p>\n

Again, these are…you can\u2019t be in these teachings and also hold onto what you know. Because it\u2019s asking you actually to let go of the meaning and to see that you\u2019ve given this all the meaning and it\u2019s holding you in a hostage place by giving something meaning of importance or righteousness.<\/p>\n

I have judged everything I look upon…it is merely an illusion of reality.<\/p>\n

I have judged everything that I look upon. These are just, again, these are just teachings that all line up and say it\u2019s time to let go. And it\u2019s time to see that there can\u2019t be a correction of any kind.<\/p>\n

What would it be…let\u2019s say someone is behaving in a way that\u2019s more gregarious than you\u2019re used to or that you like around you. And you want to tell them that their demeanor, their energy field is too loud. But the temptation of that is that you believe you\u2019re right, and what you\u2019re usually believing in is the irritation that you feel within. You\u2019re not seeing that the irritation is just coming from your own mind of your own judgment. But in reality, to be able to say that to someone \u201ctone it down,\u201d whatever…is to have the arrogance of the ego to believe that you know what they need to walk through, that you would know how their journey needs to look or what it is that would be most helpful for them. You could go deeply into the asking and be guided to what would serve that Beloved. But, when you\u2019re at the effect of your own judgment, and what you think you know, it\u2019s going to end up, probably, in pain because it\u2019s not offering love, you\u2019re not seeing the Christ, you\u2019re wanting it thus. You have another idea of how it should be. And, it\u2019s a deep, deep learning to no longer be willing to correct or do things your own way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Imagine that you\u2019re setting the table. And, somebody else is setting the table too. And they\u2019re doing it completely in a different way. They\u2019re putting plates in different positions. And the Holy Spirit keeps saying, leave it be, it\u2019s perfect. Learn from it. Learn, what did you think by them not putting it the way that you feel it should be, that there\u2019s an agitation within you, a feeling of unsafety because you like the known. And yet, this is actually the healing that this Beloved is offering by not putting those plates in the right way…the \u201cright way,\u201d you\u2019re getting the opportunity of seeing a fear, the fear of wanting habits to stay the same.<\/p>\n

The fear of the unknown and the belief that knowing something and being familiar with it is actually safer. It\u2019s an illusion that it\u2019s safer. It\u2019s just because your mind agrees with it that it becomes a place of safety. But it doesn\u2019t offer anything like real safety, because safety comes from being undefended, from not being at the effect of any form at all. But trusting that everything is in perfect harmony all the time, and wanting to see the Light of the Christ.<\/p>\n

When you judge, you see only form. The body is all that you see.<\/p>\n

The body, remembering that the body is outside you. It\u2019s not within. And just as everything is outside. So, everything that you believe, needs to look a different way is part of form. And it\u2019s always going to be changing. And it\u2019s never going to be yours to control. And, there\u2019s nothing to control. It doesn\u2019t have any meaning to it. You\u2019ve given it all the meaning, but it really doesn\u2019t have any power, and it doesn\u2019t have any truth in it.<\/p>\n

And then, just imagine yourself at peace and accepting and learning from whatever shows up. Because that\u2019s what the offering really is… is that everything is perfect. That everything has the opportunity of healing. I had so many healings in retreats like that because everything was in a particular orchestration that I had nothing to do with. I couldn\u2019t even guess what it was for. But I had to accept it. And when I was told to go show up in the kitchen to work, I was terrified. I didn\u2019t know what was coming and I didn\u2019t know how to cook. I was terrified. And yet, that\u2019s where I had to be. And I had a deep healing in exactly that place because it was not what I would have orchestrated for myself. Every single moment it\u2019s the opportunity that there is nothing to control. Absolutely nothing that you can control. It\u2019s all momentary, fleeting and moving. And only Love is reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

If your attempt is to correct a Beloved with whatever you think is an improvement, it is totally the arrogance of the ego that has decided that your way is the right way. Besides it being untrue, and that correcting anyone is for God\u2019s correction not for our own…but it also stops the learning. It stops the opportunity of learning what is actually here. Where if you\u2019re putting your own spin on it and you\u2019re trying to control it, you\u2019re not getting that opportunity of learning what\u2019s really in the way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like…let\u2019s say this same retreat…nobody knows what time anybody shows up. So, there\u2019s a whole group of other Beloveds that are coming, but they could arrive anywhere from 6:00 to 6:00 the next morning. And, you don\u2019t know. That place is filled with the opportunity of healing. To just drop into the not knowing and really question, \u201cwhat is it that scares me of not knowing? Why do I need to know what time they\u2019ll be here? What do I believe that time is giving me. How does it make me safe? How does it make me feel better? I\u2019m used to that, I want that. I want to know everything so that I\u2019m in control.\u201d<\/p>\n

But truly, if you don\u2019t know what time they\u2019re coming, what difference does it make? There\u2019s nothing to hold in safety. And, what actually happens is on the other side when you\u2019re intention is to not know. Freedom comes with it. Free of the rules of the world. Free from the rules that you\u2019ve made up of how things should be. Free. It touches everything. It touches everything …you wake up in the morning and you look at the clock, because time belongs to the ego completely and has to be surrendered to be used by Spirit. But when it belongs to the ego, and you look at the clock, and the weirdest thing occurs is that if you look at the clock, and you decide, \u201cOh, well, that was a pretty good night sleep. I had seven hours.\u201d And you immediately feel something about the amount of sleep that you had, even though you\u2019re not out of bed. If you see that you had only four hours sleep, immediately there\u2019s a tiredness that comes from \u201cahhhh. Gosh, I only had four hours sleep.\u201d And this is where the healing is is to let go of all of this preconceived idea that that means something because you gave it meaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s a place where you actually are trading this ego mind that is locked into time into a place of freedom that you\u2019re willing to be at peace always. And that the strength of God is your strength and that you\u2019re not going to set yourself up to say this is terrible, this is horrible, I don\u2019t like this, this isn\u2019t what I like to use, this is not how many hours I want. But, it\u2019s all conditioning. It\u2019s all an idea of what you think you know. And it causes pain and suffering, it just does.<\/p>\n

You cannot correct yourself.<\/p>\n

So, because you can\u2019t correct yourself, most correct others. But, you can\u2019t correct yourself either. You can\u2019t take a belief that you have…let\u2019s say you\u2019re afraid of the dark. You have to surrender your belief in the dark and it\u2019s unsafety into the hands of God, and be willing to see it differently – that\u2019s your participation. But, you can\u2019t correct yourself and change it. The belief in the fear of the dark has to be given to God. The belief that you could be injured, that you could be hurt by being in the dark, that there\u2019s a danger in darkness…there is no danger in darkness. But the correction has to come from the Divine. We cannot correct our own lives. We can be willing to be shown the way that is most helpful, but we can\u2019t correct ourselves.<\/p>\n

When healing is occurring, for example, to give up, not to sacrifice, but to surrender your relationship with taste, the senses, the sense of taste…to surrender your relationship with taste is to say please heal me of my judgment of what I like and don\u2019t like, because it keeps me a prisoner. Show me the way to acceptance of whatever is is perfect, and let go of the defense system that I\u2019ve built with likes and dislikes that I narrow my little life down and try to protect myself with these likes and dislikes. But they\u2019re not freedom. Then you\u2019re the slave of your senses, of your taste likes and dislikes, and it\u2019s all surrendering and being free of it all. Loving everything and not being restricted by opinions that, some of them were made at five years old and carried along. But they\u2019re all saying I believe in the body and I believe in everything the ego has given me. And everybody wants to be free. Everybody has to be free. But you cannot correct yourself and you cannot correct somebody else. And there\u2019s so much pain involved in that decision and most of it is an unconscious decision of being the corrector. And the arrogance of believing that how you play the piano is better than how somebody else plays the piano. Who says? Who\u2019s the decider and why? It\u2019s all to prove worth that isn\u2019t the truth. You are the light of God. You are the perfection of the Christ Light. And to want to be better than somebody else at something is insane, because you\u2019re already perfect. You\u2019re already everything that you could possibly be even if you don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The ego wants to convince you that you can correct another and it is meant to prove separation. Every time you want to correct something, it\u2019s saying \u201cwe\u2019re separate. I know the way. You don\u2019t. I know a better way.\u201d You don\u2019t. And it separates, because there\u2019s no love there.<\/p>\n

A Beloved asked \u201cwell, can\u2019t you correct with love?\u201d No, you cannot believe in the form as the problem and believe in Love at the same time. If somebody needs to be corrected and you\u2019re the one who\u2019s deciding what it is that they need to correct, you\u2019re looking at them as a form because everything of correction is about form. And it\u2019s the opportunity of surrendering the form and going to the deeper truth of seeing the Christ light. Seeing the innocence of each Beloved, not wanting to see anything else and not judging.<\/p>\n

Letting the Spirit of Love show you, teach you, lead you in every way. And all of those habits and the addiction to the doing begins to let go, because it isn\u2019t where your happiness is, it isn\u2019t where the truth of you is, and it\u2019s not the truth of anybody. Just see the Christ Light. Want to see the Light of God. Almost everybody knows this teaching: when a Beloved behaves insanely, the only thing that you can give to them is the truth of sanity…is to see beyond what you believe to be insanity and to see them as sane. To see them as the Light of God.<\/p>\n

The ego loves, loves, loves to be offended. To be offended is like desert. Because, with being offended comes a sense of superiority and a sense of knowing, because if you\u2019re offended you know something. Obviously they don\u2019t. But, it doesn\u2019t bring Love at all. It\u2019s just old habits that are just about judgments. And, they make everybody live in guilt. Because as soon as you\u2019re offended or you want to correct somebody or do something differently or showing somebody how they should be doing this…that you have the \u201cright way,\u201d you\u2019re going to be miserable. Because you\u2019re going to be worried what they think about you, you\u2019re going to be holding onto the righteousness of your decision, you\u2019re going to be in turmoil. But you didn\u2019t offer anything of Love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

You made up something that you decided was what was necessary, but it wasn\u2019t Love. And it didn\u2019t serve your remembering, because you can\u2019t learn when you\u2019re believing that you can correct yourself or correct somebody else. How many times a day can you enter into I don\u2019t know. Tons. And every time that you enter into I don\u2019t know, the Holy Spirit is there, wanting to direct you. You\u2019ve never going to be left without a relationship with the Truth, a relationship with Love itself.<\/p>\n

No exceptions…I must see the Christ Light in every Beloved. And trust their journey into the hands of the Divine. And have no opinions about their lives or the way they\u2019re walking their journey. We don\u2019t know. But we can ask again and again and again show me how to serve this Beloved. Show me what\u2019s most helpful. Show me the way. Show me how to convey Love. And let my mind be emptied of all its habits and its expectations and its idea that it\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why, but correcting somebody is such folly. It would be like me deciding that I was going to teach somebody how to cook. Now, if the Holy Spirit said you\u2019re going to teach somebody how to cook, then the Holy Spirit would bring the capabilities of that. But, it\u2019s the same all the way across the board. Nobody would benefit from my teaching anybody how to cook. And it\u2019s the benefit. What are you offering when you try to correct? What are you offering? You\u2019re offering that you will feel better if they do it your way. That\u2019s the ego\u2019s intention. \u201cI\u2019ll feel better, because it will be my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s really time to let all of that go and open to the Holy Spirit\u2019s direction for everything. How would you have me look at this? Where would you have me go? Who would you have me help? Show me the way. I don\u2019t know. But, there cannot be any correction. It just has absolutely no truth and no value. And even when you\u2019re in charge of something…let\u2019s say at a retreat…and you\u2019re put in charge of something, it\u2019s still not up to you as a person. It\u2019s up to you to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance to show you the way of how to be of service. When you find that place within that\u2019s humility that says I\u2019m just following orders. I\u2019m following the way of the Divine. That\u2019s all that I can bring. And all the healing just occurs in that way. Only your allegiance to the ego is what makes the decisions, but it\u2019s time to let it go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I brought this teaching from Hafiz. From his teacher.<\/p>\n

Spare the world your good ideas. Spare the world your ideas of good Until you know all is perfect.<\/p>\n

Spare the world your ideas of what is right Until you know all is Holy.<\/p>\n

So, this teacher brought that alignment for Hafiz and Hafiz had to align with it. Not because he was coerced, not because he was being railroaded, but because he wanted to remember and remember the truth of Love and how to love.<\/p>\n

Mother oh my mother teach this child to love. Show me the way.<\/p>\n

And let your prayer just be please heal me of all addictions to control and the belief that control means anything. Or correction means anything. Except in the hands of God. Correct me in every way. Because it\u2019s all through Love. And, it\u2019s all through miracles. Only Love.<\/p>\n
