3-39. There is an infinite River of Love that flows towards God. Release your fears of being unworthy and gently lay your mind into these currents. The River will carry you Home.
All that is of Creation is of God and of Love, equally and completely. However to your ego, this is an impossibility, for the mechanisms that created the ego depended fully upon a presumption of unworthiness that has no justification. Lacking any system through which the ego could present to you an unassailable argument as to why you should accept its pronouncements, the ego relies on partialities and duplicitous subterfuge in an ultimately futile attempt to convince you that you are something that you are not. What is there of Creation that is not of you as well? Can you possibly attempt to find a structure of ego-based organization that would be sufficiently strong enough to withstand being assailed by the Truth of Love? You can attempt to do so if you wish, but you will find in time that all of your efforts will yield no fruit at all, for in trying to counter the Will of God, you are equally presenting to the universe your desire to swim against the currents of the River of Love that leads endlessly and easily back towards the Heart of God and the renouncement of all beliefs in limitations in any form. This is not necessarily an easy task to undertake - you may be quite literally reversing the entire thought system that you have employed so far, one that has cast you in a seemingly inalterable light as a reject of some form, denied All That Is even as you still remain deeply unwilling to accept that there could even be a structure of Creation that represents All That Is and that is a constituent and summary whole of all that is Real. You think, unfortunately, that there is a separation between you and all else that lives. This is an appropriate perspective when you regard the universe from a purely physical perspective, for indeed there are distinguishing characteristics to be observed between the material presentation of any particular manifestation of Creation, and those apparent limitations of residence within disparate forms seem to be representative of a much more fundamental schism, and one that is not bridgeable. And certainly this gulf of existence is not unified in a direct manner within the physical universe, for it is unlikely that you will simply subsume the body of another as an amoeba might ingest another microbe. But that is not the level of awareness that we are working within when we speak of that which is the Unity of Creation, for we must look beyond all concepts of limitations to find their roots and to then remove them from our perception. This, too, is not necessarily a simple voyage of faith, for we are asked to accept that Unity runs through all that lives, a continual presence of energetic harmony that cannot be diverted or dispelled simply because we are unwilling, at least at the beginning of our journey, to accept that what we see with the eyes of our body must represent the totality of all that there is to know of Creation. The River of Love is available to you, but you will resist it to exactly the extent that you believe yourself unworthy of Love. This is the foundational blockage that must be removed, and it will fall in time, although you may not notice as small scales of a larger structure are molted as you outgrow them. You may wriggle free of prior encumbrances without noticing that they have fallen behind you, simply because all that is genuinely transcended is no longer directly remembered, for genuine transformation undoes the effects of the previously accepted certainty not just into the future, but with respect to the past and the memories that formed around the belief as a scab rapidly forms over a wound. Wounded you are indeed, even if you do not realize the lashes of unnecessary pain that you have inflicted upon yourself by accepting that it might be possible that you could be unworthy of the Love of God in any way. As with much of the ego’s insanity, all that the ego presents is a pattern of justification for a chasm of unbridgeable disunity that has no justification. Yet because you can create just as you were Created, you will live on the barren side of this great gulf until you are ready to see that the path across its apparently infinite depths is not a leap, but rather a single step. This step is taken when you turn towards from the currents of Love that you believe yourself unworthy of joining and you allow yourself to be directed as is most appropriate for you, back towards ever-increasing amounts of faith in God and, by intractable extension, deep and abiding faith in yourself. The ego wishes that you would suffer endlessly, Child of God, so that you would never ask who’s hand it is that wields the lash that constantly rakes across your heart. But why should your existence be as this? Is that the fate of an infinite spirit Created by God? Surely not from any position of sanity at all, yet that is exactly what you will see when you take the ego’s unstable raft of illusion and attempt to use it to navigate the waters that you have forever been submerged within. There is another way, but it requires acceptance and faith, not resistance and denial of the possibility that what God Creates might just be as Perfect as God. This acceptance transforms everything from a bare land of separation into a perfect Garden within which you can rest and be at peace. Is that not what you want, even if you remain unwilling to believe, at least as of yet, that you have always been worthy of such an existence? Is there really more that you need to be shown before you will cease your struggles, attempting to swim counter to the currents of the River that are designed and destined to carry you Home, even if you do not yet have any faith that such a Home could possibly exist for you? All that is doubt, fear, pain, loss and rage is of the ego. All that is certainty, faith, joy, acceptance and peace is of God. You can choose whichever perspective you believe is best for you, but never doubt that it is your choice and it will remain ever so. It is a simple matter to attempt to outsource the responsibility for your decisions to others, or to the barefaced miscreant “fate” and to believe that you are destined to suffer because it has been decided that that is what you “deserve”. Yet as much as you might wish to assert that it must be so, it is not and it will never be. All of that is the ego’s grasp, a knot around your throat that becomes ever tighter as you resist. Yet you can slip this noose and be free at any time. It is simply a matter of electing a new perspective and then observing as the universe conspires, not to condemn you, but rather to liberate you from all that you felt was necessary. You need not suffer, for pain is not of God and it is not a prerequisite of Salvation. You need only relax and accept that you will be directed appropriately by your heart, and almost instantaneously you will begin to realign your directional energetic harmony with the Will of God. In doing so, you reject that which is illusion and you accept that which is Truth. This Truth is simple, but its profundity is so revolutionary that it is rarely accepted without some degree of resistance. You are Love, and so you are Free. You are Love and so you are worthy. You are Love, and so you are Saved. It is not that you need anything at all. It is simply that you need to allow yourself to be fulfilled by the Will of God to see that you already have been and will always be.
