3-44. No one can Awaken another. All must Awaken themselves. Infinite support is available to everyone to assist with this process. Be kind to those who sleep. They do not yet believe that they are Loved.
There can be quite a variance of perspectives taken up by those that are Awakening, or that have fully Awoken, to the Truth of Love with regard to those that remain fully asleep. Only one perspective is actually reflective of Truth, yet the various positions employed by the Awakened can appear to be justifiable within their own ability to recognize themselves as unique. It is often the case that those that have Experienced even the slightest glimmer of the infinite Peace that accompanies a surrender to God will find themselves filled with a desire to assist others to release all of the impediments to acceptance that so clearly bind them to a life that in no way benefits them at all. And that desire can appear to be valuable indeed, perhaps even noble, but it is misguided. It is not possible to contravene the free will of another. Not even God will step in and interfere with the Path of any particular Child of God without a devoted invitation, for to do so would be counter to the Will of God and that will never occur. You are not entrusted with being the savior of all who sleep, for they are not lost - they have merely forgotten All That Is and as such, they remain within a structure of their own creation, generating their own reality constantly in a manner that is invisible to them, but that they remain fully able to alter whenever they genuinely wish. Another perspective that is less often taken up but which is equally valid, at least from the perspective of individuality that is one of the last aspects of the illusions of the ego to fall for almost everyone, is a conceptualization that responsibility for the Awakening of others is wholly their own, and that those that have found themselves able to release much of the bondage of the ego can rest on their laurels as it were, having no direct impetus to assist. That is not quite correct either, for there is a generalized form of leadership that is inherent to those that Awake to Love, and that guidance is effected through their presence. A presence of peace is undeniable to any who encounter it, even if they have no ability on a conscious level to understand what it is that they are being exposed to, or why. All that is of God travels directly from the heart of one to another’s heart, bypassing all ego-based conceptual barriers and speaking directly to the forgotten core of certainty that the sleeping Children of God would desire be awoken, if they were but able to realize that it exists at all. There is a balance between attempting to force another to take a step on their own Path that they are not yet ready to embark upon, and simply ignoring them completely while waiting for them to “catch up” as it were to the place that you now find yourself occupying. This balance is achieved though the majesty of acceptance, paired with a genuine expression of kindness and patience in all regards, no matter the exact expression of any sleeper at the moment that they are encountered in this world. Much they will offer to you that is illusion, and you can react in kind and meet them at the level of separation and dissociative dislocation from your heart, or you can choose another way. This other way is to dismiss all that is not Love, and to accept from them only that which is clearly reflective of the Truth of our eternal Unity. This, as with much of the discipline that must accompany a complete reversal of almost all of your contemplative practices, must at first be repeated until it becomes innate, for it most certainly will not, in the beginning. It is not always easy, from the idealization of the ego, to be unreactive when confronted with an enraged or depressed Child of God who is so clearly desirous of Love but who is unwilling to Love themselves, first. But with repetition, it will become clear to you that you can indeed discard all that is not of Truth within any interaction, savoring and retaining all that is useful as an example of a thought pattern that transcends disunity and simply ignoring everything else that arises, for all that is not of Truth is not Real, and within this reassurance you can rest. Of course it would be the case that those who sleep to Love believe themselves to be unloved by God, and that they would naturally extend this presumption of isolation to their own heart. What other process of justification could possibly be employed when they are faced with a world that defies understanding from a perspective of rationality, and indeed one that appears, at least on its surface, to be working at odds with its own best interests at almost all times? This world appears insane because the ego is insane, and all that is cast upon anything external that utilizes the logic of the ego will be bereft of genuineness or associativity with eternal certainty. And so, having forgotten their Creation, they find themselves adrift in a world that contains no directly accessible meaning or rationality, and so they make their way as best they can, not understanding the “rules” as it were, for indeed there are none and chaos reigns when there is no fundamental structure upon which all that occurs can be constructed, construed and considered. Your Path does not directly influence the Path of any other Child of God, for that would entail far too much interference and far too great a possibility of confusion. That is why each Path is unique - only through the creation of a singular process that is exactly correct for you, but directly inapplicable to any other soul, can it be certain that you will indeed find your way Home to God, without regard for the apparently vast stretches of time that elapse while you walk. Just as your journey is a wholly personal one, so too is every other Child’s Path, and that is just as it should be. That your lives may intersect is good and proper, for each of you can draw together for learning and growth, but your inviolacy remains preserved no matter the seemingly life-altering nature of your time together. You are centralized within and unified with your own heart, even if you know it not. You are not here, in this world of form, to alter the Path of another, for they are here to learn of that which they believed they could ever forget, and they will Remember their value to God and to themselves when they are ready - not when you are. And so from this presentation do we see that we are not directly responsible for the Awakening of another, but we are equally not disconnected from this, the majesty of their own personal journey. We all converge upon God, moving ever closer, until Unity is all that remains and individuality is relinquished, for while you can and will remain distinct from all of the other Children of God, within the center of your heart, you join with them in song, a ballad of the greatest appreciation possible for the Glory of your Creation and the Unification that is guaranteed beyond all possibility of error in any form at all. That which is bound by God to Remember Love will do so, but when this Miracle of Remembrance will occur is not at all relevant, for time is not at all as linear as it appears to be. The experience of time, in this world, is linear as that is most helpful to prevent massive confusion regarding the directional nature of cause and effect. But the transcendence of all limitations bridges Eternity with the present moment, freeing you from all linearly-orientated perspectives so that you might bear witness to the Perfection of God, and in doing so, equally be revealed just why it is that you are absolutely Perfect, too. Be patient with the sleepers, beautiful Child of God. They dare not yet dream of a world that in any way resembles infinite perfection, despite the fact that just such a Heaven exists within their own hearts. They will Awaken. Until they do, recognize them as the Light that they are, so that one day they can join with you in celebration of the Truth of Love and the Freedom that has never been lost, but rather merely forgotten for such a short time after all.
