3-50. Gently does God caress your heart, forever Knowing you as Love Itself. All the love of this world is but a reflection of the Love your Creator holds for you, kept Safe until you are ready to accept it again.
That you are Love is Certain. That you are certain that you are Love is not at all guaranteed, for such an acceptance transcends all illusionary barriers, rendering all fear mute and still, undoing all of the wiles of the ego and transmuting all of the temporal space that you have previously utilized in the interests of learning into time spent in recognition of your True Nature. This is quite a process, and it is not necessarily one that is accomplished instantaneously or effortlessly. However there is a contradiction that is contained within your own perception of this process that must be resolved before the journey of Awakening to Love is Complete. You will continue to believe that effort, or work, or some form of expenditure of energy was a prerequisite of your release of all that was but the most fragmentary of illusions for just as long as you believe that difficulty is an aspect of Creation. It is not. All that is challenging in any way are but lessons in the ease that accompanies a complete surrender to God and to Truth. Challenges are not beneficial in and of themselves, for all that is encountered that is believed to be hard to complete in any way at all is but representative of another deeply hidden aspect of your mind within which you continue to desire to harbor a belief that Creation could be imperfect in any manner at all. It is not, but it is not genuinely a difficulty to believe that it might be, for all of these imaginings are based upon a singular assumption who’s conclusion is easily found, once all that is not of God is seen as what it has always been - creations of a mind that was previously determined to find a justification for an assumption of separation that has never had any foundation at all. To propose that creation could contain any fault at all is but to regard yourself improperly, which is a mistake almost all of the Children of God commit, and then to attempt to levy that misperception against God, assuming that that which is seen incorrectly must have some basis upon which it could be applied to that which has always been Perfect in every manner within which such a description could possibly be applicable. God does not share in this burdensome imagining, for God does not desire to meet you at the level of illusion and generalized apathy towards all that can be. God will remain Perfect, awaiting only the most beautiful moment when you are ready to surrender to the elegant Truth that you are Perfect, too. All attempts to wage war against Creation, trying in vain to find some tiny aspect of all that was Created in the image of God that could possibly be “wrong” or misaligned with its final purpose and destiny will always fail, but even within that final disruption of your assumptions, there is a form of usefulness that cannot be ignored. What other path might have been best, save for the one that ran through all of the possibilities of error, exhausting you endlessly until you were finally ready to relent and to admit that there was never anything at all that you could locate, no matter where you looked, that was sufficient to use as a charge against God for Creating anything that could be described as imperfect in any way, just as long as you are willing to be wholly honest with yourself and to regard what God has Created just as it is, and not as you might wish it to be, or not to be. These are powerfully transmutative exercises in radical and explosive honesty to engage your mind within, for they cannot fail to reveal the Perfection of Creation in its original form, fully unsullied by your attempts to smear it against your own presumptions and then allege that some form of error, all of which was self-generated, must have been imparted against that which you regarded incorrectly and inappropriately. This will not do, for you are merely attempting to reform Creation to meet the misperceptions of your own ego, and while you will suffer mightily during such a reformation, God remains unaffected and undisturbed by all that you assert. God awaits your Return. God does not feel concern at all for the amount of time that may appear to progress and elapse while you explore all that is not of God, for there can be only one final journey that all of the Children of God will undertake - of this you can be Certain and at Peace. That they will return is unavoidable, and none save for the most insane of all would regard such a journey as being anything other than the Path of Light that heals all wounds and erases all mistakes, instantaneously and effortlessly. The ego knows only difficulty, for the ego is an attempt to locate some aspect of Creation that might be incorrect, and then to use that as a justification for presenting an argument, founded in illogic but wholly self-similar from the ego’s perspective, as to why it might be that God might not be as God has always been and will always be. Such an expenditure of energetic effort is exhausting, and for good reason - you are trying to swim against the currents of the River of Love that wishes only to carry you easily and rapidly back to Truth. And why? What is gained? What is it that you wish to oppose, and how do you propose to justify such a proposition when you do not, as of yet, know all that there is to know of Creation? Why not try another way? Why not attempt to believe that it might be possible that struggle is useless and pointless in the extreme? All that is known as love in this world is a reflection of a Love that is so vast, so overwhelming and so absolutely Perfect that it must be Experienced to be recognized. The Purity and Grace of Love remain unperturbed by those that deny it to themselves. God is as this as well - infinitely patient and wholly unobstructed by all that is believed to be true, for error cannot stand against the Perfection of Creation. As you enjoy the variety of aspects within which love can be experienced within this world of form, think not that they are ultimate, complete or representative of all that Love can actually be or accomplish. There is much more to Love than what is experienced by almost all of the Children of God who have ever been, or are now, incarnate in this world of form. Some - a very precious few, in truth - have genuinely expressed the transformation of love into Love, but they are the rarest of flowers, blooming in a desert of incorrect perception, and there is no need to envy or admire them, for what they accomplish is not necessarily valuable or correct for you. All that is love in this world is a reflection of a Perfection that is accessible to you at all times, without limit and without cessation. That is all that you need accept, and ever increasing opportunities to deepen your understanding of what these words actually entail will arise, just as soon as you are genuinely and completely ready. All that underlies and supports them is a Love of such infinite depth that it cannot be captured and described - it is for you to know, and then to truly Know, when you are ready to reunite with all of your heart, accepting everything just as it is and rejecting nothing at all, for all that is Real is Love and all that you have ever experienced that will never be lost in any way at all is the Nature of Love Itself. In this Truth, you are already whole and complete, and so fear is a meaningless mistake, because Love is what you have already been Given. It will always be with you - accept but this, and all that is not eternal will be accepted as the transitory and transitional structure that was valuable for leading you back to your own heart, but which is now no longer needed or required in any way at all.
