PAUL: Good morning, Raj.

RAJ: Yes, Paul. Good morning.

PAUL: I need you to talk to me about my letting you respond to everything; about giving voice to the Voice for Truth, and never again for me — or a “self” I think I have or am. I don’t know if I will allow myself to hear it, but may we try.

RAJ: Let’s do it!

PAUL: Okay.

RAJ: First of all, just try to remember that it is the needed response.

Like the game “Mother May I?” you have to remember not to slip, and speak without asking . . . except in this case you are asking “what to say.” The purpose of doing so is not to discount you, but to remind you that there is another way to look at everything . . . different from the way you have been conditioned to look at it.

It is unnecessary to interpret this shift of emphasis as a judgment on you, because what you are shifting it from is just a negative bias applied to something entirely neutral. It is as ridiculous as saying, “Only a fool, idiot, or ignoramus would still be using an iPhone 11!” You see? 

On the contrary, you watch for every leak, every newly uncovered detail you can find regarding an upcoming upgrade!  And you do it with great anticipation. Now, you tell me! Do you do it because you don’t want to be a fool, or because you want to be on the leading edge of fantastic?

So . . . without the bias, another way of looking at it would be, “Give voice only to the Voice for Truth because you want to stand constantly on the leading edge of the miraculous . . . of “behold, I make all things new!”

Now, this does not mean that you will suddenly give voice to the Voice for Truth fluently in all settings on all subjects—and this means those you don’t consider to be spiritual—any more than you spoke fluidly while giving voice to my words in the very beginning on things which were spiritual. 

The point, however, is for you to be aware of 1) my presence with you, and 2) your attention with me . . . whether you are awkward or not. As in all things, practice begets trust, together with diminishing self-consciousness (self-doubt). 

The miracle lies in this: It is the conscious joining, the conscious partnership—even if it is in silence—which constitutes the fullness of the holy instant, and therefore the experience of Wholeness in form. It is the “partnership” which is the avenue of manifestation for “behold, I make all things new,” and not “what” is known as a result.

I did not not say, “Ye shall know the truth, and what you know shall make you free.” No. I said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” When you know the TRUTH, it is because Truth has been revealed, and it has been revealed because you’ve set your will aside and brought your attention to me, or the Holy Spirit. 

It is in the presence of revealed Truth that sudden shifts of perception occur because in the holy instant nothing stands in Its way. But when YOU know the Truth, you are not in the holy instant and you are in the way. This is very important because it makes it very clear where your attention needs to be given.

Now you know that it is your Function to experience Revelation. 

Now you know that Revelation is not for the special few. 

Now you know that being co-creator with God is what “being conscious” means. 

Now, instead of finding a better and more powerful truth to exercise against error, or greater skill at using the truth you already know—like a cross being held up in the face of a vampire to save your puny little vulnerable “self”—you know that your salvation lies in not slipping and forgetting to ask, “Brother, May I . . . know what the Truth is here . . . with you?”

Now you know that your salvation lies in Brotherhood, in union, in a complete absence of independent authorship. It involves joining with the Holy Spirit, which is nothing more than your right mind.

I am going to end by reasserting that it doesn’t matter whether you succeed in every moment of the day at hearing my response to everything. What matters is that while you’re learning to hear me respond to what you would call secular things, you experience the awareness of being with me and of my being with you . . . because at the bottom line problems are the manifestation of looking at everything by yourself and coping with everything by yourself . . . and then, do it with me because you want to be on the leading edge of “fantastic”!
