Insights From Julie

Dearest everyone,

I miss hugging all of you, so my heart continues to hug you! May the light of love shine brightly on you and continue reflecting in others. I had an amazing time with all of you and I am very grateful for that.

I just wanted to share something with you as I have already with Tomas and Nouk to whom I am eternally grateful for their altruistic love towards us all and for their gentle, kind and loving wake up call.

Major and minor changes are happening in my life and in turn in lives of others I reflect on. I have made peace with my mother, my ex-husband, etc... Judging and fear aside, welcome unconditional love... We all deserve it, despite ego's temper tantrum. LOL

Here is a letter to myself, to you - (to one) and the envelope that we worked on just last Thursday and some insights I mentioned in class.

MY ENVELOPE AND LETTER:
On the back of the envelope, I pasted a picture of a beautiful sleeping baby, dreaming, projecting negative things... On the front of the envelope, a picture of an alert baby is smiling and projecting positive things... Unconditional love - different people smiling, majestic mountain alps reflecting peacefully into the water, some other pictures, but my favorite of all was of a woman, may be in her 70's, sitting in a field on a blanket and hugging a younger lady, maybe a teenager, sitting on top of her. The woman expresses complete happiness and peace. Interestingly enough, you can't tell where the head begins and body ends. In other words, they seem like one. Present embraces past and becomes one with only unconditional love to share.

MY LETTER TO MYSELF (ONE):
Dearest and precious Julie, you, ONE,

I trust you know by now that you are pure love and I love you absolutely and unconditionally. That means nothing that you have done or said or do or say can ever change my everlasting love for you. I will always love you to time indefinite and beyond. By the way, I want nothing in return from you. Please know and enjoy this free gift. You are so special and wonderful just for being you. It is that simple. And if you ever forget it, I will be right by your side showing you my love and bathing you with kindness, laughter, happiness without any expectations. There is nothing I need or want from you!

This unconditional love of mine for you will spread like wild flowers in a field and continue to multiply over flowing out of you contagiously intoxicating others with the same unconditional love. You will not be able to contain it infecting ill and programmed perceptions and projections and you will experience complete and wholesome love non-stop. Now is the time. Continue meditating, jumping and trusting me, and I will catch you every time. You already know that, since I have done exactly that before. There is no gravity, fear, or death here. You are safe. I am love and you come from me, therefore that is what you are. Let us stay as one and walk for eternity in peace with a permanent smile.

Unconditionally loving and forever yours,

THE CREATOR

Ego knows only to fear and is afraid of losing a false existence, the make believe, because it does not know any better. It is so primitive and thinks that life is a temporary circumstance, since it had a beginning. It tries to fight its course.

I barely slept last night and so my body is sleep deprived another night, but I am waking up to my being. Of course I could not do it on my own with this ego of mine by my side, but the Creator knows of course and so I placed all my trust and began surrendering all my attachments one by one and it poured like a heavy rain along with my tears. I was breaking up my relationship with my ego and it did not like it. It kept reminding me when I was 4 and stopped being an observer and became Friends with my ego that introduced me to ill projections how others treated me and told me to try something that was not pleasant. After that I felt guilty and ego kept reminding me how imperfect I was and can not erase my mistake. It reminded me how I did not deserve anything good to happen to me any more, but it was willing to be my only friend. It assisted on sabotaging all my relationships with people and made sure I slept very soundly and deeply and dreamed the dream it wanted me to dream. The pattern was established and the cycle began.

There was too much pain and it had to stop. With prayer to the Source and persistence, the revelation too began. This workshop opened my eyes wide and I finally was able to see that God is love who created me with pure unconditional love. This is who I am! Unconditional love does not separate, but unites all. It is impossible for it to co-exist with fear. It has no boundaries and it includes everyone in its circle of unstoppable love.

I told my ego that I too love it unconditionally and it was never and is not responsible for my happiness and I am sorry I ever thought it was. I am setting it free. I continue my journey to forgive others and myself, because the past was never real.

Nothing can be taken away from me, because nothing can be given to me by others. It is already inside of me. No more burden, no more pain, no more sadness, all is well...

Julie was a participant at the Omega 5 day workshop. She was one of many who experienced the liberation and vision that accompanies surrender and trust to the Divine.

"We love you Julie and honor all of you who dare to let go, to trust, to walk the path of A Course in Miracles, and discover the Truth of who you are." Tomas and Nouk

From partnership to Divine Relationship

By

by David Hoffmeister

It seems that relationship in this world involves partnership. And the concept of partnership is a mirror of the unconscious belief in incompletion or lack. Reciprocity always involves "giving to get," and this ego belief is dissolved in the Light of giving as God Gives, unconditionally and everlastingly.

Learning to give in the fullest sense will draw one out of a sense of having a separate will apart from God's Will. As long as one holds on to a self-concept or image, one must want to get something outside of One Self, and must believe it is possible to do so. The opportunity with a "partner," indeed with anybody you meet or even think about each day, is to learn how to give totally, completely, without distinctions or conditions of any kind.

Think of it like this. A partner and anybody that comes to mind are calling on the Sacred. Listen carefully to the Spirit, for what your partner or brother or sister is asking for is what you are asking for. And what you give to your partner, you give to yourself.

This is what is meant by the path of devotion. In devoting yourself to one goal, forgiveness, you lose all sense of separate interests and separate selves. No request is too large or small in this Perspective. You can only join in this Perspective, the Perspective of the dreamer--never in the dream. Love does not oppose. There is nothing to fight, defend against, or be right about. And devotion requires trust, for trust in the Spirit dissolves all doubt.

By learning to give without distinctions, you will learn to experience your Self as beyond "situations," as Everywhere and Everything! All that you need do is trust, step back, and do not interfere with an Experience that will come directly from God. True Giving will reveal Itself as You.

You will discover that relationship is not personal. The only Real Relationship is Creation and Creator. Relationship is not between persons, for thought-form associations deny the only Real Relationship of Spirit. You cannot experience what True Relationship is until you have first realized the impossibility of the attempt to make past associations take the place of Reality. Reality and God are always in eternal relationship and direct communication or "Communion."

All concepts of relationship must give way to forgiveness, seeing the false as false, and understanding that thought-forms cannot be meaningfully associated, ordered, or arranged. A hierarchy of relationships is meaningless, for Love is One and of Divine origin. Time is simultaneous, not linear and sequential. Forgiveness does not attempt to change the past to compensate for a feeling of lack or guilt or inadequacy or incompletion. It sees the past as over and gone. By seeing that the picture of the world is just a picture, the mind is freed from attempting the impossible and can recognize Itself as Changeless Mind!!! The awareness that illusions are one opens the way for the Recognition that Mind is One! This is the realization that Love is All there Is!

Thank You God for Divine Relationship which inspires forever and ever!!! Many blessings cascade upon You Holy One, Our Relationship is intimate and eternal and Divinely Content.
