3-21. You cannot "lose" the Gifts of God. Given before time began, they are Forever yours. Use your Gifts to Awaken your Siblings. They need you, and you need them.
The concept of loss is so deeply entrenched within all that the ego seeks to use as endless distraction that it could even be said that “loss” is the ego’s modus operandi. What is loss? What is lost when All That Is is eternal and unassailable? Why, nothing at all can be lost by any Child of God. All that is conceived of that is loss is simply the disappearance, transformation or disintegration of anything and everything that is physical, but how is that a genuine loss? To understand the operating principles of the physical world, it is necessary to realize - and then to accept, wholeheartedly - that all that is physical will disappear. Nothing that is of the material world is permanent, and as such, nothing of this world of form should be ascribed any genuine or eternal value, for all that is of this plane of existence that is the world of form is but an ever altering kinescope of reflected realities, each of which is created as much within the perception of the perceiver as it can be said to enjoy any separate, distinct and isolatable reality, apart from the mind that recognizes that there is something to view at all. What comes of this realization and its accompanying acceptance? Great and boundless Freedom in every manner in which such a word can be applied, for all that is temporary is released back into the creation from which it sprang, and all that is eternal is recognized instead - a vast array of underlying and constituent components of Creation, expressed in form but never limited by their final and seemingly concrete manifestations. Loss accompanies these end-stage creations, for they are but reflective of much higher-order principles of Creation. They are not Creation in and of Itself, for all that is of this world is destined for destruction, as it should be. Why would you want for all that is material to exist endlessly? What change, alteration, growth or transformation could occur within a world of infinite stillness and intractable stagnation? That is not reflective of the Will of God, which is a Will that wishes for all of the Creations of God to continue within a system of movement and growth that needs no cessation, for what God Creates can Create as well, and will indeed, just as soon as it is willing to accept its True Nature. Loss is the perfunctory expression of the ego, for the ego will forever wish for similarity and security, whereas your heart constantly delights in the newness and alteration that is the most direct expression of the ever-expansive Will of God. What you were Given before the necessity of time was imparted unto this world of form is Love, above all else. However much more beyond the inalterable, undilutable and infinitely accessible Love of God are of the Gifts of God. These Gifts need not be enumerated, quantified or even described in any particular detail, for many of them are highly individualistic and they are for you to Know and to use, not for other Children of God to evaluate and, subsequently, attempt to judge. You cannot loose these Gifts, for they are just as eternal as all that is of God, and they are yours forever, no matter how much you may continue to wish to believe that you are bereft of anything at all that you might ever require. All thoughts of loss are of the ego, for all of these thoughts, forming quite the wide ranging group of interrelated concepts of imperfections within the Creation of God, are void of any value at all. You can accept them if you wish, but your willingness to deride the Will of God by attempting to paint the majesty of Creation with a broad brush of incorrect application is of no consequence. You can judge yourself, or others, or God if you wish, but you will never be wholly correct if you continue to desire to use the mechanism and perceptional framework of the ego as your basis for awareness and its corresponding evaluations. Your judgments of others are based upon an assumption of objectivity that you simply do not enjoy, for you are not they and you have not experienced all that they have. This is a simple admonishment, but it stands in such direct contravention to the insanity of the ego that it can be very hard for the untrained mind to accept. Judgment is for God to render, not for you to employ in fruitless and meaningless attempts to understand any form of relative relationship that you believe you do, or do not, share with any other Child of God. Lacking an ability to know all that they know and to have experienced every single instant of all of their existences, you are not in any position to accurately evaluate all that they do, or do not do, including all of their utterances that may seem wholly unintelligible to you. That is not the purpose or import of the Gifts of God, Given unto you for Service above all other goals or purposes. Service to others renders you a direct and infinitely wide conduit for the Love of God, for in selfless Service, you Give just as God Gives - without thought of return, recognition or recompense in any form. What does God ask of you, to whom has been Given all that any Child of God will ever need to Remember their infinite safety within the Heart of God? Nothing at all is requested in return, for you have been Given all of the time within the entire universe of form to reawaken to the Truth of Love. You need not do so immediately, although that is certainly possible and there is no force within the entirety of Creation that can prevent you from liberating yourself from all illusions instantly and effortlessly. However few will find this process to be immediate, for some small section of all of the time that was Created for your reunification with God was utilized by your confused mind to create all of the belief structures that now govern your awareness, and as such it is generally preferable to take the amount of time that you require to undo those foundational beliefs in the possibility of limitation that so restrict your ability to See that the Light of Love has not altered - it has merely been your perception of the Light that has dimmed so very much indeed. Your Gifts were Given because you can perform work and effect change in ways that are not always accessible to any other Child of God. There may be distinct similarities to your work that have obvious and undeniable parallels with the work of others, and that is how it should be. But no other Child of God can be exactly as you are, and so no other Child of God can perform exactly the same tasks that you have been entrusted with since the eternity that existed before the necessity of the Creation of time, and that will continue forever, for all that is eternal is of God and all that is not of God is not Real. What are you to do? Seek not for this answer outside of your own heart, for you will not find it within the world of form. This world is not an appropriate place to look for the Guidance of God, for all that occurs here is reflective of Truth - it is not Truth Itself. Look instead into the very center of your own heart whenever you should be desirous of the Guidance of God, and there you will unerringly and consistently find all of the answers that you seek that are relative to the Service only you can render. And when you are answered, be glad of the Call of God, a Call to Service and to Love, for you are being presented with one of the most precious Gifts of all - the Gift of infinite Certainty, knowing that what is asked of you is not “impossible” in any manner at all, no matter how strongly your ego desires to rail against all that is presented, believing limitations to be inherent and insurmountable. What you are asked to do is possible, for nothing can restrict or limit God and so nothing can prevent any Child of God from executing the exact instructions that are presented that are what is best for that particular Child to perform. Your direction may be specific or general - it matters not. It may alter over time, or you may find that you are granted lengthy periods during which nothing is directly requested. This is of no matter, and do not concern yourself with specifics to an extent that you lose sight of the larger structure within which you operate. All that is Given is equally Received, for all of the Children of God are One within the infinite Love that was their Creation and that remains their final destination after all alterative, but ultimately futile and meaningless, paths are explored and set aside in favor of the Truth that Unity is all that is needed to solve every problem, to alter any tragedy into a survivable situation and every joy into a shared reality that can be Given to anyone without diminution in any way whatsoever.
