DAY ONE
Why do you ask questionsWhat will come of me? What will happen one day? How will I know if? What am I to do if?when the moment you sit in is the only moment you may know? Everything else is conjecture, barely an idea. You summon opportunity to grow, to learn, in the moment you sit in. And each moment is the opportunity to know the presence of the Divine that is always here. Underline always. There is never a moment without the presence of the Divine, although your availability to it, through personality, persona, identity, may be diminished by your fear, by your idea of what is so, and the importance you give to an outcome that has not yet come.
Each of you here, in your own way, has come to be sung in a new voice. This is a new term, but its an important onesung in a new voice, beyond the echo or residual affect of personality that you have determined so steadfastly must be who and what you are. Now, the dismantling of persona is a process, and we dont make personality wrong. You have one, its yours, but it is not you. And that is the key to the teaching. You have one, it is yours, but it is not you. And the claim you make, I know who I am, is a decree of truth when comprehended as what it has always been, the announcement of being. Put it that way, the announcement of being: I Have Come.
Now, realization, the unfoldment toward realization, is not only a process, its an opportunity to dismantle personality. But understanding what personality is, and why you invest in it so, will be of importance to you here. Your guarantee when you are born is that you have blood in your veins, a heart that beats, and a mind that may know. Nothing else is guaranteed. You are not guaranteed peace, a loving home, food on the table. You are not guaranteed a marriage, or a career. You believe you should have these things, but they are not guaranteed, nor are they why you were born. You came to realizethrough encounter, through opportunity, perhaps through obstaclethe truth of who and what you are that exists beyond the shell, beyond the mask of personality that you have claimed as you.
Now, because you are choosing to be bornand, in fact, you have chosenyou must understand that the True Self as you, who knows who he is, will always claim the opportunity for growth that is before him. Now, some of you decide when you are born that there will be a testament to the life that has been lived. You have come for a specific reason, to bring forth a specific quality, to know the self through certain encounters. And you must understand that each of you who comes, in his or her own way, is contributing to the whole by nature of your presence here. As the Divine informs each aspect of self, each aspect of self is called into being in a higher way. A transition occurs, and what you thought you were is actually released to become the truth of your expression. I Have Come. I Have Come. I Have Come.
Now, the dismantling of persona, while a process, is actually joyful, once you understand that all you are releasing is an idea of who you have been, were told you were, think you are, and should have been. Simple ideas, they have been so weighted, so agreed to, that they have weighed you down. And the testament to this is the vibratory accord that you base your experience through. You base your experience through the agreement to the low octave that you have been aligned to, and the guarantee of this, the promise of this, is evidenced by everything you see. You are always being taught the level of vibratory accord that you have come to through what you see, how you see it, and how it is interpreted by you. Agreement we mean as accorda-c-c-o-r-d, a-c-h-o-r-d on a piano. As you are now sung in a collective agreementa species, if you wish, invoking a realityyou can understand that everything that is being claimed is being claimed by the collective to grow through. This may not be apparent, but it is always so. Now, you may call a hard lesson. You may choose difficulty in order to grow through. And as you continue to force thingsthe agenda of the ego, the mandate of personality, the choice to be what you say you must be contrary to your true naturethe evidence of your agreement to struggle amplifies what you see. Humanity has claimed great struggle. A great denial of the Divine claims itself as struggle. When the Divine is re-known in any instance, struggle is released. Each of you decides, in a singular way, what you may claim beyond the collective. But your ideas of what may be claimed are completely informed by the collective, and the collective is testament to the belief in separation that has been accrued by it.
As we teach you, we sing to you. And the voice we sing in is not the voice of Paul, but the voice of Paul as translated in a high octave. In other words, the vehicle we sing through is in translation already to be able to sing with our language and our tone. In fact, you each are being re-articulated in just such a way. But as this occurs, the denial of the Divine, which you are participatory to, is shown to you clearly, and you are given opportunity to release the aspect of self that would define the self as separate from its Source.
Now, the decree we offer youThe truth is here, I am in truth, I am known in truth, and I know in truthwill counter many things. To align to truth, to agree to be as truth, is to agree to be the True Self at the cost of the evidence that would be contrary to this. And by that, we mean those things that would decide that they cannot be of God, will not be of God, could never be of God. When you face a shadow, you may look into the shadow, but you must understand that, even as shadow, there is light permeating it. What creates the shadow is the denial of light. But because light is all things, light must also include shadow, so there is nothing outside of the light except that which is placed there.
Now, you are an organism. You operate as an organism. The heart beats in the breast, the eyes in the head see, you breathe easy, or with difficulty, but you are an organism. And youve identified this organism through form and justified everything you see to create from form what you think you require. You think your well-being is your situation in your world, the evidence of your success, your self-esteem as claimed through opportunity to benefit self. You assume yourself in high ways through the accoutrements of the field, the things that have been claimed that you claim are of worth, and you do this at the denial of the Source of all of this. When you understand that there is nothing outside of God, and the form you have taken is of God, the organism that you are begins to transform, to move into like accord. The focus on manifestation in spiritual culture is actually a testament to the confusion you all hold about who and what you are. The determination to accrue objects, to accrue income, to accrue the ideas of success, has created a God that is working in commerce, that is seeking to objectify and give you what you think you should have. And, in doing thus, you actually deny the presence of the Creator that is in all things. The one who puts the beggar below the wealthy man has committed heresy. The one who decides that the hovel has no merit and she must live in a castle has also done the same. You think the castle is emblematic of success, but you have defined success as living in a castle and not living in accord with the Divine Self who will call to you what you require.
