I am surrounded by the Love of God. 

Because Love is the only Substance and Atmosphere there is.  Just as all things seem to be ‘matter’ in the dream, All of Reality is Love.  Love alone is Real. Thus Love is both ever-present and available to You right here as You dream.

My Love is always here when You reach out.  Although You may not feel Me embracing You right now, I am!  As You read My words, We are Communing.

¹ Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. – Yes, indeed Belovèd Ones!  Closer am I to You than breathing, and so much nearer than Your body. – You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. This is Truth: I am All there really is.

In You time disappears, –into forever – and place becomes a meaningless belief. – for I’m everywhere! – For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself.  Love is everything.  So as You look at ‘matter’, acknowledge it as Love instead.  The rose is Love, as is Your computer.  The chair, the fan, the heater, and the black plastic garbage bag, Love is their Substance!  The lovely eBay vintage sheets, the backpack and the books and Your cell phone bargain.  Where they are is Love.  Now is it time to start acknowledging Love’s ever-presence!

Take off Your blinders!  Stop reveling in ‘matter.  It’s not real!

There is no Source but This, – precious Love of God – and nothing is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. You are not just loved, Belovèd.  You are Love Itself!

Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.  What are You coming Home to but this Love.  Remember, the journey has no distance.  Love is where You are.  Love is everywhere.

There are not just good words.  They are the Truth.  Don’t read them and go on as usual!  Allow Yourself to have transformation.  Love is What You are.

² My brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation’s prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world along with us?  I have not just chosen You.  Although most of You don’t remember, You’ve chosen Me.

What is the Body?

 “Why?” says the ego, with grandiosity most arrogant and most obnoxious, “It is most obviously what I am.  Anyone who isn’t blind can see that!” 

¹ The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built to separate parts of his Self from other parts. – The body states just who and what I am!” – It is within this fence, he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. – Which does ensure that He can stay within the dream for just as long as He wants to.  The ego worships death for it does demonstrate that God is cruel, No-One to trust! – For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. – What Love can there be in such a God?  This is how He thinks; this is how He dreams, sleeping Son of God. His stance ensures that He won’t want to go Home, not to a God Who kills His children off. – Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. – He gives  to Himself the only power; yet it isn’t real. –How else could he be certain he remains within the body, – and He fears to step outside His tiny boundaries for fear that it will put an end to His dream of – keeping love outside? and thereby end all dreaming forever.  Do not underestimate the attachment of the sleeping Son of God to dreams.

² The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double safety. It ends dreams that are tiresome, yet does not end dreaming.

For the Son of God’s impermanence is “proof” his fences work and do the task his mind assigns to them.  It proves to Him the separation does remain successful; His goal still achieved.

 

For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be his prey? Who could be victim? Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God’s eternal Son can be destroyed?  The story’s over.  His whole ‘accomplishment’ but nonsense.  The drama nothing.  Eons of ‘history’ shown up as pointless.

³ The body is a dream. – And, thus, never real. All ‘history’ a fantasy, including ego’s body, its prized ‘creation’. – Like other dreams, it sometimes seems to picture happiness but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born.  – And why is this so? – For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for.  It was made solely for separation.

⁴ The body is the means by which God’s Son returns to sanity. – For through it can S/He access Her Brothers, He touch His Brothers. – Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell.  Now it is reversed! The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother and to help him walk along the road with him.  Bodies joined in the Love of Brotherhood.  No longer to please Oneself, but now to include All Others.

Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill. Now it chooses Life, its one true Purpose.

⁵ You will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. And so it becomes; Your choice makes it so.

Your safety lies in truth and not in lies. For Reality only is benign.

Love is your safety. It always has been, and it always will be.

Fear does not exist. Only in the dreaming did it seem real, and Truth shows up its unreality.  Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self.

 

And as Yourself, eternal happiness!  Welcome Home Loved One!

[Thank you Dear Brother]
