3-29. So very long have you dwelt in the shadows, Child of God. So many times have you relived an ancient mistake. Arise now. Never has God forgotten you. As always, you are forever Loved.
All that is error serves but one purpose - to be a directive towards that which is Truth. An ancient mistake was committed by all that find themselves apparently renounced by God and cast down into the world of form, but it is not condemnation that places you here - even this is but a reflection of a choice made so very long ago that it can appear to be forgotten, at least by your mind as you understand it to be now. Yet this is not True. You were not forgotten by God simply because you, so very temporarily, believed that it might be possible to forget God. What are we to conclude from an error committed and an action undertaken in exact concert with the most logical conclusion of a thought process that created the necessity for a world within which you could experience that which you believed to be possible? What other conclusion can accurately or justifiably be formed from such a situation other than to see that even in this, this seemingly great and terrible abandonment by God and this existence within a world where the Light of Love is not so easily seen indeed, even this is but one of the many Mercies of God. What alternative process could have possibly been employed to allow you sufficient time and space to explore all that could possibly be presented as a justification for your incorrect belief, other than to be given exactly what you requested of God, without any contravention of your free will at all? None is more appropriate than this, of that you can be most definitively assured. This world is an effect, not a cause. This distinction cannot be overstated or overemphasized. So many of the Children of God who find themselves taking up temporary residence within the world of form deeply desire to believe themselves to be beset by fate, damned by God and abysmally confounded simply because they continue to desire to believe that they can control this world, when in fact all that is Given that is always under their total and inalterable control is their ability to react as they see fit, no matter what might occur. To control you own reactions is freedom. It is the turning point upon which the correct sequence of cause and effect is clearly expressed within your own mind, allowing you to reconnect with the most ancient of memories - the belief that you once proposed that it might be possible to be separated from God. That was an error. Not a “sin”, not an affront to God, not a curse uttered against your Creator and not a mistake that cannot be forgiven. In Truth, there is nothing at all to forgive of this simple error of perception, for all that you did was to request the Creation of a place within which the Light of Truth would appear most dim indeed, so that you could explore all that that might entail and whatever meanings you might feel best to assign to such a darkened section of the Totality of All That Is. Nothing can prevent you from accepting that you desired that it might be possible to be isolated from God, and nothing can stop you from letting go of all that such a belief must demand of you. Suffering is wholly optional within all of Creation. Suffering is of the ego, for the ego demands that which cannot be - that it would be lifted up and adored above all else, in spite of the Truth that the ego is simply nothing, for God is All and all that is Real and Eternal is of God. This process of undoing the dictatorship of the ego may not be simple, but the Truth that you can do so any at any time, and in fact with no effort at all, cannot be altered. You can believe whatever you’d like about this world and the purposes it serves. Whether you are correct or not will determine the sum total of your perspective upon this material universe, and you will be afford opportunities to reinforce or release your beliefs to exactly the extent that you are able to make effective use of them. What is all of this to imply? Cause and effect are deeply and despairingly revered within the perception of the vast majority of the Children of God who currently reside within this world of form. They believe themselves to be at the mercy of fate, but the Truth could not possibly be farther away from their misbegotten conceptualizations of the faithlessness of God. God remains steadfast, but uninterested in interference, for all will unfold just as it will and there can be no possible conclusion to all of the necessity of time itself other than to have it be gathered up and closed back upon itself once the need on the part of any Child of God for space within which they can seek for a proof that will never be found is concluded and released. Error calls for correction, not condemnation. The ego understands this elegant Truth not at all, for the ego wants control and God Gives All. What are you to choose? Do you want to remain entrapped by an assumption of differentiation that has no justification within all that is Unitary, which is Love? What do these beliefs serve? Do you believe that they serve you? They do not, but you are welcome to continue if you wish. Search everywhere, explore all of time and space, but you will never find even one iota of Creation from which God is absent. This is a simplified summation of an enormous range of possibilities, all of which are shot through with a current of Truth that carries all of the Children of God back to Love, but it is sufficient to contain most of the guidelines that explain the necessity that lead to the Creation of material existence. Absent God, nothing exists. With God, all continues for just as long as it is need. What are we to conclude from that? Simply that all of the Children of God are not absent their Creator, no matter how much they desire to believe themselves to be and no matter the evidence they attempt to employ as meaningless justifications for a separation that never actually occurred. In the shadows of error dwell the forlorn and seemingly forgotten, yet it is their own hand that imprisoned them and it must be their own willingness to allow themselves to believe otherwise than what they held so dear before that will Free them from all illusion. No other Child of God can lift them up from the chasm of forgotten memory that they find themselves wandering about within, for each must turn their own gaze upwards again, away from the enrapturing mists of the ego’s deception and towards the consistently reverent Light of God that shines from the highest mountaintops of Truth, surrounding them always with an infinite panoply of possibility that can be accessed at any time at all. All of the Children of God can fly, above all that ails them, free and secure in Love, at whatever moment they’d like to accept as the exact instant that will demarcate that which was, which was only illusion, from All That Is, which is the Perfection of Love now accepted wholly and completely. From that moment, nothing will be the same, for fear will crumble and Love will tower ever higher, accepted as the Source of All Creation and now utilized for its correct purpose - to be the fire that Creates All That Is, as It Is. You are welcome to Join with God in Love and to forget all error whenever you are ready. God will wait. Do you genuinely desire to wait for even one more pointless moment? All is Given. Accept your innate Divinity and you will Know what was Given unto you, forever.
