PAUL.   Good afternoon, Raj.

RAJ.  Good afternoon, Paul.

PAUL.  Okay. So, I’m putting everything down and joining with y(our) clarity, intention, and guidance . . . not mine.

RAJ.   Good. When they are one, you are Home. And when they are one consistently, the perfection of everything in its true perspective is inescapable because there is nothing distracting you from it. And that simply means there are no personal idiosyncrasies getting preferential attention from you.

The effort is worth it, even though it’s difficult getting to the point of consistency.

You are the one who is upset. And you are the one who is upsetting yourself! You can prove this by being willing to consider that “there is another way to look at this”. . . no matter what “this” is . . . and then looking at it differently.

In actually doing so, you discover that all of the reactions around whatever “this” is, vanish, setting you free to easily discern how it can be resolved . . . or whether it even needs to be.

Here is how it works.

If one is feeling vulnerable, he will blame it on someone or something . . . even himself!  Everything will become a potential justification for his indignation and his abuse . . . and nothing had better get in the way of his primed volatility!

The point is that being upset is always an unforgiving, meaningless, self-righteous state of mind which holds one arrogantly at odds with whatever  he gives his valuable Attention to—wasting It on what his private negativity has twisted into a misperception of irrelevancy and unreality while refusing to see What is Really there with his unadulterated Vision.

You see?

But let’s be clear! Forgiveness is NOT the overlooking of the awfulness of life, nor the bad behavior of one’s fellow man. It is NOT a matter of choosing to allow abuse and then, in humble quiet service to such lovelessness, being “lovingly” available for more.

No!

Forgiveness is, instead, the purposeful abandonment of one’s own misguided dedication to “rights of independence” which HE determined makes him absolutely and completely different from his Brother and his Sister . . . and his Father, too . . . and thus an individual in his own right!

Forgiveness, then, is really rediscovery, the re-embrace of all-inclusive Love which, in the absence of self-righteous judgment, Knows exactly what to do to heal when it is needed . . . and does it by illuminating the integrity of Love—the indivisibility of Brotherhood—which independence had so conscientiously obscured in the name of “individuality.”

Forgiveness is the meaning of “looking into your Brothers’ eyes and remembering God.” Uplifting words which sound quite beautiful. But when Forgiveness . . . when that which Forgiveness TRULY IS . . . is first attempted, it is not obvious that loss will not be close behind. To the contrary . . .

When privacy is yielding to the
Conscious Experience of Being,
the “sense of loss of identity”
does confront one,
and it must be
disregarded!

Or put another way:

When the independent thinker
yields to unpremeditated revelation
the sense of loss of identity
does confront him,
and it must be
disregarded!

Now, the holy instant has no existence separate from Forgiveness . . . being the means and the Meaning of the restoration of every Holy Son and Daughter of God to his or her right mind. It is not in time or space, but is divine Intention anchored in the mind . . . Forgiveness . . . which releases you from independence, isolation, fear and guilt.  It is the ever-present starting point within each one of you, which is your destination in this journey without distance, and the ONLY thing that will be lost is fear and guilt.

Forgiveness and the holy instant are what one engages in when he “risks the chance that God is All” by disregarding—making unimportant—the thought of independence in order to discover the undistorted Conscious Experience of Being being restored in him in a floodtide of expansion, no longer to be obscured in any way.

And so, Forgiveness is an inside job.

Only when our wills are joined will we be able then to look into our brothers’ eyes, remember God, confirming that which is of God and healing what is not.

P.S.  Now, go back and read this over once again. This time, substitute the words “being joined with me” every time you see the word Forgiveness, and “not being joined with me” when you see the word unforgiving.

Confusion will disappear.

I love you.
