July-September, 2013
There is only one Power — God’s all-encompassing Love. Anytime we see or feel anything other than this, we are believing in illusions. God’s Love is eternally changeless, just like our holy Self. Jesus’ message is uncompromising. In order to bring about consistent miracles, we must cultivate a single-minded conviction in only ‘one’ Power — God’s Love. While we still retain our belief in a hierarchy of illusions, we will reject knowing and demonstrating that there is no order of difficulty in miracles.
What we seem to see in this ego-made paradigm is constantly changing. The body appears to be born, it grows and matures and then it seems to wither and die. All this we take to be reality. Yet true Reality is changeless. The things we see in this paradigm are always changing. This unconscious propulsion for constant change comes from the ego’s beguiling intent to keep us forever running from God’s Love.
Everything we seem to see here is purely an ‘appearance.’ And appearances, because they do change, are not God’s changeless Reality. Appearances are projected by the ego to hypnotize us into believing they are real. While we believe the ego’s appearances of pain, sickness, loss, conflict, scarcity and death, we remain spell-bound by an hallucination. And instead of waking up from it, we go deeper into by: 1) searching for pleasure, fulfillment and remedies within the hallucination. And 2) by defending ourselves against illusions within the hallucination.
There are two diametrically opposed realities and only one of them is real. There is this fear paradigm we experience here as an epic and ceaseless loop of change. And there is God’s changeless Reality that remains quietly but powerfully active beneath every ‘appearance’ that we choose to see. We choose which of these two realities to manifest depending on the one we value.
To most, what the body’s senses report is taken as truth. Once the hallucination is believed then no healing can take place. However we can invoke the miracle in any instant that we question reality; in that instant we become lucid. We remember that what we see is not God’s Reality. We must be hallucinating. We stand fast, choosing to look past ‘appearances’ and we trust in God’s changeless Reality; a Reality that cannot be accessed nor activated while we still prefer to be mesmerized by illusions.
This insane world with all its demented laws based on fear and death, is clearly not of God. It’s as if we placed a veil of terror over our eyes. The veil holds images of the ego’s most cherished gifts, guilt, pain, sickness, conflict, loss, scarcity and death. So when we look out through this veil at our body, others and the world, we cannot see them as they really are. Everything we see is superimposed with terror. We fall for the images of terror that seem to dance in the veil. And we plan our entire lives around attempting to navigate through it.
It’s just a veil! It has no reality. And look, who is holding the veil over our eyes. We are! While we live our lives, reacting to the illusory images on the veil, we cannot see nor feel Love. We can’t give it and we can’t receive it. We remain empty, no matter how much we seem to achieve according to the rules and laws of the veil.
The veil of terror made its own laws apart from God’s Love. It’s central commandment, the one that supports every other law, is the concept of ‘death.’ But once the concept of death is questioned, the center of the veil is pierced and the veil of terror loses its hypnotic conviction.
When we recognize that the world we seem to see with the body’s senses is really this veil of terror, then we can decide with Spirit to be vigilant only for God’s Reality. This means that we consciously choose to look past (forgive) the images we see. We look past appearances, whatever they may be. Our body’s eyes might see the veil of terror in the form of cancer, pain, financial loss, divorce or death, but we remain vigilant to keep our vision on God’s changeless Reality beyond what the ego’s senses report.
While we choose to look past illusions, we place our trust in what invokes the miracle. And the miracle can heal anything and everything. We must choose only one Power though. Just like the healing of the lesion on my leg in the summer of 2012. It took a while, but eventually I was able to truly surrender it to Spirit in full trust while knowing that it was ‘already’ healed. Some weeks later it just disappeared.
When my soul-buddy and teaching partner Tomas (Vieira) had cancer in 2010, I did not have the level of trust that I have now. So I was not able to see completely past the veil of terror. I did see the tumors and I did feel fear, which is an indication that I still believed in what my body’s eyes saw; instead of God’s Reality. To the degree that we continue to fear, to that extent, we will ‘expect’ and manifest what we fear.
Fear separates us from God’s Love and help — from miracles. The Atonement is the undoing of fear. That is why Jesus says that the one responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept Atonement for himself. We can’t help ourselves or others while we ourselves remain fearful, anxious or concerned. When we accept Atonement, we accept healing. Then we can truly give what we know we already have.
