Diary of a Christ communicant,

post-2000

From 1967 until the end of the second millennium CE I practised the Service of Mystical Communion with Christ (SMCC), a ritual given from Spirit, under Christ authority, to Olga Park, for attunement with the Christ Mind.  This is described in detail in chapter 3 of SFGS.

Communing with the Christ Mind activates a progressive mind-awakening process. We are led, lovingly, caringly, tenderly, one step at a time, at a pace which is always comfortable for us, toward the Light of Eternal Truth. 

This blesses us and brings an awareness that we are on the Path Home.  Inner peace and joy replace fear and guilt, opening our eyes to the fact that Perfect Love is Who we really are; just like our Father Creator, in Whose likeness we are created.  As our awareness of that reality grows, with it comes a deep, all-encompassing longing to share, or extend, that love, peace and joy to all who are willing to receive such priceless treasure.

Communing with Christ Mind (or Holy Spirit Mind; there is no difference, They are one in the Mind of God) calls for commitment, because ego-dominated minds fear the Light of Eternal Truth, due to perceptions of unworthiness resulting from erroneous belief that we are sinners; that the apparent gulf between us and God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit seems so great as to be unbridgeable.  This is an illusion which the practise of communing gradually dispels, to be replaced with a growing awareness that there is no separation between us and all our brothers in the Sonship of God or between God and us, His one, beloved Son.

Toward the end of the second millennium my own unfolding awareness had arrived at the place where I was comfortable communing with God — Papa — and Jesus, informally, spontaneously, at any moment, regardless of circumstances or events around me. 

Ultimately, although the formal, structured service of mystical communion with Christ is a very beneficial instrument to help any sincere seeker after spiritual truth and reality, natural progression in awareness of and confidence in our ability to attune with the Mind of God and Christ takes us to a place where we no longer need the outer, formal structure.  This was so for Jesus and it is inevitable that it becomes so for us as we become like him (1 Jn. 3:2). 

The formal, structured ritual was no longer needful for the continuation of my journey Home to Papa; it had served its purpose perfectly and was now completed.

I went through a process of adjusting to this new, greater, expanded freedom; of allowing awareness and acceptance of Inner Guidance to become more widely and readily accessible in my mind; to enable a greater affinity with the Logos that is within us all, and allow Its greater expression, informal fluency and fluidity to carry me onward to a new awareness of at-onement.

During this transformational period, lasting several years (how slow we are to recognise and accept the true, radiant nature of our Being!), the Inner Voice became, to my awareness, much more spontaneous, relaxed, idiomatic, contemporary in style of speaking.  Communing became an any-time, any-moment, any-place event. 

It was an evolutionary process of recognising that this was possible, and indeed, the intention for us all as we gradually are able to let go of so much wrong learning that countless circuits of the carousel of birth and death have instilled into our mind.

I was becoming much more attuned to, or aligned with, the Source of the new awarenesses, which were often sudden realisations as much as spoken words.  This was very confidence-building.

Jesus had told me on a number of occasions over the decades that his tutoring and the array of other mystical experiences — all under Christ authority — were merely preparation for that which lay ahead. 

What has emerged from these ‘post-2000’ communings is that the three measures of meal parable-in-action, or Great Rescue Programme, applies to our awakening mind.  The first, or Abraham measure is a God-seeking phase; the second, or Jesus measure, is a God-aware phase (but still dualistic); the third, or Kingdom measure is the fulfilment, or God-filled phase, during which the full awakening of our Mind to oneness will be completed.

At commencement of the second measure, or phase, of our awakening to eternal reality, Jesus, our older brother, who had already awakened fully, came to bring us the message of the awakening, or resurrecting, of the slumbering mind of the Sonship.  He promised he would stay with us until the end of time — the end of the third measure — to help us during the shift from the duality consciousness, or perception, to the singularity awareness and experience. 

His all-empowered help has been, and will continue to be, multifarious, including speaking, or communing, with all who are willing to open the door of their inner being to his knocking, so he could enter and ‘sup’, or engage in spiritual fellowship, with them, for the enlightening of their minds to the discernment of Eternal Reality and their integral part in It.

But crucial to this process in which he is helping us is our awakening to the greater awareness that we are in every way Jesus’ equal; only equality of Being can exist in Eternity.  Conversely, only in our self-induced state of forgetfulness, in which we believe we are in time and place, does this appear not to be so.  It is from this state of forgetfulness that he will help us lovingly, tenderly, unconditionally, with infinite patience, to awaken, for as long as we feel the need for his help. 

It is vital to our complete awakening that we move beyond the place of perceiving dependence upon Jesus as our source of light, spiritual truth, salvation, to the remembrance, just as he did, that the Source of our awakening, or salvation, is our Self: ‘The Kingdom of God is within you’. Lk. 17:21.

Jesus will lead us to the place of this awareness if we ask and allow him so to do.  He will also remain with us as we go on from there, because he is our brother, with whom we are one in the Sonship; because he loves us with perfect love and desires to be with us; for only in oneness is he, and are we all, complete. 

This is, I now realise, why I was prompted to dub the second measure of meal ‘the Jesus measure’ and the third measure ‘the Kingdom measure’.  Jesus will lead us to the place of remembrance of, or awakening to, Self within.  Jesus was the leaven of, or for, the second measure of meal, and we, as Self — the Spirit of Truth within us — along with the Self we have known as Jesus, are the leaven of, or for, the third, final, completion measure, ‘till the whole is leavened’ (Mt. 13:33).

As the Holy Spirit says to Pamela Silberman in ‘Simply Being’:

Bless yourself through Self.  Bestow a remembrance of graceful freedom upon your presence in this experience.  See yourself as the Love You are and extend this through real eyes (true, singleness of vision) to all...  Guide yourself to your Self, Dear One, and then guide your Self with Me to God... Here you truly express your Self, as God created.                                      (My emphases.)

We can continue communing with Jesus for as long as we desire and are joyful in so doing, and he will continue joyfully to commune with us.  But now is the time — the Kingdom measure of meal — to joyfully commune with Papa God (just as Jesus joyfully communed with Him in the long ago), with and as, or from the Mind of Self, no longer from the false perception as (little) self.  This quantum move will help us beyond measure in becoming, remembering Who we are, restoring us to wholeness, holiness, completeness, perfection, oneness, because that is Who we ARE.

With love and endless blessings for inner peace and joy,

Brian Longhurst

This page is dedicated to sharing some of these post-2000 communings.  The first I feel prompted to share took place in May 2010.  After that, entries are placed in date order according to the date they were recorded. May you find it, and those that follow, reassuring, helpful, inspiring and uplifting.

A.M. May 23^rd 2010

You ask and I draw back the veil on your awareness.  You ask when you are ready to remember.  Do this — commune — in remembrance of Me, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Breath, and I will gently, lovingly, breathe the Living Truth back into your mind...

Beloved Holy Spirit, You introduced Yourself to me in late October 1997 by saying  “I AM the Spirit of Truth” and after a slight pause, “the Holy Breath”.  And now I read in ‘Simply Being’ that you repeatedly emphasise awareness of breathing to Pamela Silberman.  How is our body’s breathing in oxygen connected to our oneness with You? 

Breathing in oxygen is what keeps you alive within the dream of being with a body.  Within the context of the dream, oxygen is, therefore, the breath of life.  At the level of Eternal Reality, I am the Holy Breath; the Breath of God.  When you sing the hymn ‘Breathe on me, Breath of God...’ you are inviting Me to visit with you and to remain with you, filling you with Life anew.

Life is only experienced when you have awareness of it, however limited that awareness may be.  The fragmented Sonship has awareness of life, or being, only at the illusory, or bodily level.  At that limited, restricted level, the breath of life appears as the air you breathe.  As remembrance of Who You are begins to return, so do you remember that your very Life, or Being, is sustained from the Source of All Life – Papa.  I am the Link with the Source for all the unhealed fragments, and so I am, until your full awakening, the Breath of Life; the Holy Breath.  When that awakening has been completed, remembrance will have been fully restored to all the fragments that they, as one, are the Truth and the Life

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  When Jesus spoke those words he spoke them as the Spirit of Truth in bodily-communicating form.  There is no difference between you, or any of the fragments, and Jesus, and Me.  The Whole is in all the parts.  Remember this and you are restored to wholeness.  By communing with Me you commune with Papa.  Communing is joining, or re-joining, or becoming, again, as one, or whole. 

Thank you, Beloved; this is massively enlightening.  You explain things so simply, they suddenly just fall into place, and it is then all so obvious, clear, logical.  It is as if I have then always known what You reveal.

You ask and I draw back the veil on your awareness.  You ask when you are ready to remember.  Do this — commune — in remembrance of Me, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Breath, and I will gently, lovingly, breathe the Living Truth back into your mind, until all are — or is J — one, as ever was, and ever shall be.

P.M. Friday November 14^th 2008.

Go with your innermost, uppermost feelings.  All is well.  I am with you always, my beloved brother.

Jesus, my beloved brother in Christ…

Well spotted, Brian; for that is what we are, you and I.

Well, I wanted to tell you how much I love and honour you for all that you are.  I have longed to commune with you – in some formal, yet informal, manner, ever since we stopped having our service each week.

Well, that’s good, because I have longed to commune with you.  You now realise that this is possible without any of the outward symbols or trappings…

Yes, but they were/are very important, helpful as symbols, and to help focus and discipline, which I am not very good at.

Your strength is your commitment, and you have shown this, demonstrated it over the years of our walk together.

We have been doing that for over 40 years now…

Actually, much longer than that.  We have been together, you and I, for many of your acts and mine.

You’re suggesting…

Yes, we have been together, as dear friends, since before I was Jesus; before Abraham.  But that is of no import, other than its serviceability in preparing you for all that matters, which is NOW.

This really is destiny, isn’t it?

You were destined to be Brian, yes, with all that that entails.

It is my desire to commune in the silence, in the peace, in the love and joy that our fellowship brings, every day.  I feel now is a moment for this to proceed.

Go with your innermost, uppermost feelings.  All is well.  I am with you always, my beloved brother.

A.M. Saturday November 15^th 2008.

I know your desire to return wholly to Me above all things.  To do this you must return wholly unto your Self; ‘Big Me’, as you have rightly observed.  Jesus was wholly in Me because he was wholly Self – I AM.  You are ‘I AM’ also.  All the fragments of My Son also are, indivisibly ‘I AM’. 

Good morning, Papa.  I greet You with my love.

And I greet you with My love, My son.  Enter in, enter in; attune with Me with rejoicing, waking to the fullness of your glory and your oneness in Me.  You are in Me and I am within you; there is mutuality in our love, which We extend to each other continually.  In that extending is the ecstasy of My creation, which is you.  Only in you is My ecstasy, My joy, My fulfilment, My completion.  When you deny yourself, you deny Me.  This is your only blasphemy.

Wow! Papa.  This is some revelation.  It changes my perception, brings me up short.

I know your desire to return wholly to Me above all things.  To do this you must return wholly unto your Self; ‘Big Me’, as you have rightly observed.  Jesus was wholly in Me because he was wholly Self – I AM.  You are ‘I AM’ also.  All the fragments of My Son also are, indivisibly ‘I AM’.  They say to themselves ‘I am Brian’, or ‘I am Theresa’, or ‘I am John’, or ‘I am Mary’.  Each time they make such pronouncement, there is one word too many.  For ‘I AM’ is Who they are.  The rest is made up, illusion.  Do you wish to be made up?

No, I don’t, Papa; I wish to be real.

Keep on, then, reminding yourself, ‘Big Me’ is good because it focuses on your ‘otherness’, your ‘realness’, your ‘I AM-ness’.  There is no other you than ‘Big Me’. You have no other name, no other being, no other identity.  It is a distraction, a diversion away from the truth of Who you ARE.

But while I seem to be in, or with, a body, my brothers will see me as Brian…

Let that serve its purpose then, that you may use that illusion to bring your brothers to the truth of Who you are, that they may be re-minded of Who they all are.  This illusory self can be restored to oneness, and thus disappear back into Me, forever.  It has a purpose only in time, never in Eternity.

Welcome Home, My beloved.  The banquet awaits.

Thank you, beloved Papa.  You know how much I enjoy a feast!

P.M. Saturday November 15^th 2008.

As with all my brethren, Brian’s focus must be on forgiveness, for this brings release into remembrance, peace, freedom, enlightenment. 

The important thing, as well you now know, is not to get sidetracked, distracted, from your birth vision.  I confirmed our past, long association because you are ready and because it strengthens our bonds of loving brotherhood.

It may seem the GRP is my operation, but it is co-operation.  I am the leader, because I am the first of the fragments to remember the wholeness.  But I have many loved ones, brothers, who work with me in oneness with the Breath, for the collapse of time, the awakening, the at-one-ment.  It is of no concern for ‘Brian’ to know of them all, for ‘Big Me’ knows them all.  As with all my brethren, Brian’s focus must be on forgiveness, for this brings release into remembrance, peace, freedom, enlightenment.  I assure you, you are in safe keeping; the end is truly known from the beginning, and all is well.  We are one in the Sonship, which is Christ.

Thank you for everything; you bring peace, comfort, assurance.  I love you totally.

Your love and devotion are everything to me, for without them our joint efforts could not bear fruit.  Our time together like this is joy in our heart – for we are not just of one mind, but of one heart. 

You do not need to worry about a thing.  All is according to plan.

A.M. Sunday November 16^th 2008.

I extend My love to you, always.  This is every moment, not just at times of your communing with Me.  You do not have to be consciously aware of this to receive it

Beloved Papa, I greet you with the love and adoration of my heart and with thanksgiving for You and the Kingdom, and for our beloved brother Jesus, who I love with all my being.

I receive the love and joyous thanksgiving of your heart, My Son, and I extend My love to you, always.  This is every moment, not just at times of your communing with Me.  You do not have to be consciously aware of this to receive it, for We are one always and there is no gap to be bridged before it reaches you.  Commune with me at any and all moments, Beloved, for I am always with you.  Simply place yourself within My presence by stepping into the Ray, the Shaft of Light that comes from Me to you.  (I was aware of a pillar of Light coming form Above, down to the ground, and that I could simply take a step into it if I was not already within it, due to some earthly distraction, and this will be my direct link to Papa).

We are One, forever; nothing can alter that.

Thank you, Papa, for Your gracious, all-encompassing, tender love.

P.M. Sunday November 16^th 2008

I know how earnestly you desire to share with your brothers – all who will receive – that such intimate, personal, tender, uplifting fellowship with me and from me is available to them all. This is the very stuff of the Kingdom: love, blessing, kinship, peace, goodwill, sharing. 

Jesus, beloved brother, friend and Lord, My heart has so much it yearns to express to you, and indeed, to all my brothers; but trying to formulate the words to express them, in some – any – order that might have some meaningfulness, is so difficult.  Gratitude toward you, for all that you have been for me over the decades seems just about uppermost.  Gratitude for your constancy; your unchangeableness; the sense of security, protection from Heaven-knows-what; the absolute, certain knowing that giving my life – the leasehold on it – entirely over to you, there was no need to plan my life, nothing to worry about, because we – you and I  – had decided on the plan for it ‘aforetime’ and even though I had ‘forgotten’ what that plan was, I knew you hadn’t, and you were immeasurably more able to outwork it than I was ....

As long as you co-operated with me!

Yes.  But you knew I would co-operate, so it was never in doubt J.

Okay.  But I knew because you were ready, even though, with your Earth-conscious mind you did not understand.  But as the plan unfolded, you realised your early experiences were way-markers for you, affirming your seeking, desiring heart and mind for spiritual truth.

Yes, they were massively helpful.  There have been untold occasions when I wondered if I was genuine in my desire for the Kingdom — the old ego part of me trying to put sugar in the fuel tank — but I knew the experiences* on the farm as a boy could not have happened if I was not ready in this act.

This was one of our aforetime pre-arranged signals.  It was a failsafe device; a ‘sleeper’ device.

You mean ‘sleeper’ as in the spy stories?  I don’t doubt that all your devices are failsafe.

Well, they’re not really mine; they are Papa’s.  I just use them because they work.

Jesus, my heart’s delight.  I love you.  This is joy to my heart and soul, fellowshipping with you like this.  Thank you.  And I know such as this is always available.

It is joy also to me, beloved.  I know how earnestly you desire to share with your brothers — all who will receive — that such intimate, personal, tender, uplifting fellowship with me and from me is available to them all. This is the very stuff of the Kingdom: love, blessing, kinship, peace, goodwill, sharing.  This is why you are who you are, as Brian, and where you are.

Until the eagerly anticipated and awaited next time, beloved.

Until then.  Meanwhile, I am always with you.

* For details, please see SFGS, chapter 1, paragraphs 12 & 13.

A.M. Monday November 17^th 2008

Freedom from all that shackles love is achieved by forgiving what has never restricted love but only appears that way.  Forgiveness re-empowers you to see past illusions and they then disappear, My beloved.

Hello, Papa.

Hello, My son.

I love You.  You know that and I know You love me.  That gives me peace of mind.  I know You love me.  I don’t just believe, or hope, I know beyond all doubt.

Love is all there is, so it is impossible that I could not love you.  It is impossible that I could not love My creation — ALL My creation.

I feel ready to move up a level in communing, functioning from, awareness of, spiritual reality — my reality; to move beyond the bodily limitations.

The way forward is by relinquishment of control from the lower to the higher; from ‘little me’ to Big Me.

I am aware of this, but don’t know how to move up a gear in that process.

That is because it is not a doing process but a being process.  ‘Doing’ is taking control.  ‘Being’ is letting go.  Big Me, higher, true Self is.  Is-ness is able to transform littleness from limitation to fulfilment, crawling to soaring.  This is a function of Spirit and requires no thought processes; merely an allowing.  I assure you, you have surrendered — mostly! — to Big Me, and that transformational process is proceeding. 

You have left behind the crawling activity and are now in the chrysalis.  This requires no doing thoughts, only being thoughts.  These are not so much thoughts as remembrances.  Remembrances of Who you are, where you are.  There is nothing to do because it is already done.  All was completed at your creation, by Me.  Creation is the only ‘doing’ and that is accomplished.

  All you can meaningfully ‘do’ is extend My creation, and that is by Love.  Is loving ‘doing’?  How do you ‘do’ love?  You cannot ‘do’ love, you can only ‘be’ love.  And Love can only know Itself by extending Itself.  Love is all you need to remember and to be.  Freedom from all that shackles love is achieved by forgiving what has never restricted love but only appears that way.  Forgiveness re-empowers you to see past illusions and they then disappear, My beloved.

Thank you for reminding me, Papa.  Another step forward.

Another step allowed; not taken, but given, and received.

P.M. Monday November 17^th 2008

Love, trust and wisdom, my brother of the heart, are qualities worthy indeed of honour, for they are all attributes of the Son of God, who is like unto his Father.  You are the Son of God, co-equally with me, Brian, and so are these equally your attributes, in full measure also.

My beloved brother, last time, I spoke of gratitude to you for all that you are, as uppermost in my heart to speak about with you.  Love, trust and wisdom now come to my mind as aspects of you which I honour.

Love, trust and wisdom, my brother of the heart, are qualities worthy indeed of honour, for they are all attributes of the Son of God, who is like unto his Father.  You are the Son of God, co-equally with me, Brian, and so are these equally your attributes, in full measure also.  Does a momentary lapse of memory, already passed in an eye’s twinkling, render this truth an untruth?  I do assure you that any lack of awareness you may experience in your Earth-mind temporal perceptions makes no difference to the reality of Eternity.  If it were otherwise, the one-pointed desire of your heart for truth, love, peace, justice, fairness and your willingness to surrender your leasehold would not burn as a constant beacon and testimony to your true nature.

So I say to you, my beloved, all that you honour in me, I honour also in you.  Remember what Papa said to you, ‘When you deny yourself, you deny Me.  This is your only blasphemy.’

This I can never forget.  It shreds the flimsy hoardings of guilt, fear, shame, pretence at unworthiness erected against the Light of Truth by ego mind.

Very poetically put.  Good night, dear one.

A.M. Tuesday November18th 2008

Wrong thinking still tries to persuade you that there is nothing to say to Me and I have nothing to say to you, so communing is a waste of time; that if you try to commune with Me and nothing happens, this will ‘prove’ you are not able to commune with Me after all, so better not to try. 

Papa, I am not afraid of You, but I wonder if I am fearful of me, since I feel anxious coming to You to commune.

My beloved, certainly you are correct about having no fear of Me, for as you know of a certainty, I am love, peace, joy and gentleness.  However, you have read and are studying ACIM, which reminds you that you dream, in which all is turned upside down.  Thus love is seen as fear, and hate is seen as love.  Even as I speak, can you observe that a battle rages in your mind between right thinking and seeing, and wrong thinking and perceiving.  Here, wrong thinking still tries to persuade you that there is nothing to say to Me and I have nothing to say to you, so communing is a waste of time; that if you try to commune with Me and nothing happens, this will ‘prove’ you are not able to commune with Me after all, so better not to try. 

However, right thinking causes you to feel unsatisfied with that explanation, so you feel this conflict, this unease, where part of you is determined to come to Me, and part feels it is going to prove unfruitful.  So I say to you: Have no concern whether anything is said!  Entering into oneness requires no exchange of words, which have no reality in Heaven, but are mere symbols of expressing your being.  If you come together with Me and I come together with you, We are together!  This makes us one.  Allow it to be so, for it is so in your heart, in your desire. 

Remember, commitment is your strength.  So be committed; not to the asylum, but to Me, to the Sonship with Jesus and all your other brethren — that the fragments may become wholeness again — and to the Kingdom, wherein the banquet of joyous, loving welcome awaits you.

Papa, my inexpressibly wonderful Home; as always, You still my fevered mind with Your precious peace.  My gratitude to You is also inexpressible, but at least I know You know its magnitude because I know You feel it in my heart.

Yes, my son, I do feel it there; for therein is My home, My dwelling place in you, My gracious, loving host.

(I suddenly had an image of ego bolting out of the back door to escape from the true, perfect love and peace of Papa.)  Alleluia!!  We are One, Papa!! 

Of course We are.  Otherwise is impossible. J

A.M Thursday 20^th November 2008

Papa is, right now, within you, within your beloved, within those who judge you and those you may judge.  Relinquish judgement and what is left?  Only Christ, the thought, the idea, of Papa

Papa and Jesus, I commune in conference with You both because we are all One in each other.

My son, this is wonderful, for there is no reason to exclude ‘Either of Us’ since Heaven is inclusive and only time and place presumes to exclude.

Jesus, I well remember your saying, ‘If you have seen me, you have seen the Father’.

Yes, beloved; this is truth, and it is true also of you and all the fragments, all the brethren, literally, when one chooses to look upon all things with Christ vision and judge them not.  It only appears otherwise when perceiving the outward exclusion, or apparent separation.  Papa is, right now, within you, within your beloved, within those who judge you and those you may judge.  Relinquish judgement and what is left?  Only Christ, the thought, the idea, of Papa; and as I have already explained in ACIM, an idea never leaves its Home, including when that idea is extended from its Source.  This is the explanation of how, why, the Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son.

And when I hear Jesus extending the truth of Eternity to me, I am also hearing Papa, because the Father and the Son are One.

My son, I rejoice in your awakening.  We are well pleased.  All Heaven rejoices with you and for you, as the Homecoming proceeds.

Thank you, Papa; thank you, Jesus.

Thanks be to you for being Our completion.

A.M.  December 13^th 2008

I do not have to struggle, strive, fight for release from the self-imposed, illusory limitations of time and place, because freedom is already mine, with me, and always has been.  There is nothing to do but simply allow that reality to enfold me, well up, be-come, unfold, outflow from within me.

Increasingly the awareness, remembrance, realisation is with me that ‘Big Me’ is who I am.  It is a realisation that I do not have to struggle, strive, fight for release from the self-imposed, illusory limitations of time and place, because freedom is already mine, with me, and always has been.  There is nothing to do but simply allow that reality to enfold me, well up, be-come, unfold, outflow from within me.  To remember that, it is necessary to remind myself of Self being who I am.  This is mind retraining.  With resolute, steadfast commitment to the practice of mind retraining comes wholeness/holiness, the dispelling of ego/littleness; the emergence of I am as my one and only, true Identity. 

Keep on keeping on, in sure and certain knowing that this is who I am — not just wish or desire to be.  Constant reminders, daily, hourly, that there are no limitations, because all there is is already mine, because Papa has given it to me at my creation, will restore me to that certainty of knowing.  He has never taken it from me.  I dreamt I threw it away, but that was never more than a dream, and now, with the unfailing help of my beloved brother Jesus, I am waking from the dream, walking with him in joyous fellowship, back to Papa, knowing beyond all doubt that He is our Home.

So I say to you, beloved Papa, “I am Your beloved Son.  All that is Yours You have given me, and it has always been, and still now is and always will be, my rightful inheritance.  All appearances to the contrary are simply that — appearances; nothing.  I choose now to accept and espouse everything once more and rejoice in the fullness of Your true creation, which has no end, and is with me always.  For all that I give thanks eternally and rest in You, now.”

A.M. December 14^th 2008

 Jesus used his persona as a communication device to help others awaken from the dream, but his Jesus persona was completely in at-onement with Self; the Holy Spirit.  That, then, can become possible — the objective — for the rest of us. 

I now realise that ‘Big Me’ is completely my true Self, the only real me, and that little me is nothing; a dream, an illusion.  So in a sense, thinking in terms of my true Self as ‘Big Me’, implies there must be a little me, and this is, in a subtle way, perpetuating the duality of separation.  I had thought that changing the term ‘Big Me’ to ‘Real Me’ would correct this, but now realise that still allows for ‘unreal me’.  That is a step in the right direction, but not yet all the way, to correcting, dispelling, the perception of the illusory me; the persona.  Papa counsels me to use that persona – ‘Brian’ — as a communication device to help others awaken from the dream.

Jesus did that, but his Jesus persona was completely in at-onement with Self; the Holy Spirit.  That, then, can become possible — the objective — for the rest of us.  Then, also like him, that ‘unified’, or ‘re-unified’, persona will have Kingdom of Heaven awareness fully, all the time.  Miracles will be natural, an outflowing radiance of whole/holy being toward all other living beings as a result of wholeness/holiness, love, BLASERing.  Miracles are a state of creativeness in that they restore to the oneness of being — wholeness/holiness — that is the true estate of all life; oneness in resonance with Papa, the Universal Life Force; the Source of all Being.  Miracles, Jesus tells us in ACIM, don’t do anything; they undo false perceptions, thus dispelling the blocks, or obstacles we have placed before wholeness.

Then, when the Kingdomly objectives of that re-unified persona/being/Self have been fulfilled, it will be subsumed back into the oneness of the Sonship, back into Papa, and cease to have a manifest presence in time and place.  At present the persona is still perceiving itself as individual, separate, alone, with others ‘out there’.  That is the illusion.  But mind re-training, by mind-to-Mind communing (mtMc) with Big Me, our Real Self, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Breath, gradually alters the perspective until self becomes ever more identified with Real Self, Big Me, and little, persona self becomes less and less the focal point of awareness, until persona is seen simply as a tool, and not the real Being.

We have but one Identity, not many.  Jesus gives us a clue to this by his life, his example, so that we can emulate that example and become like him.  That is why he came: to show us that example, that way of true being, of rightful living. 

 We have but one Identity, not many.  Jesus gives us a clue to this by his life, his example, so that we can emulate that example and become like him (1 Jn. 3:2).  That is why he came: to show us that example, that way of true being, of rightful living.  It is not hard, in spite of what we see in this dream world around us, which is nothing more than a projection from the ego-dominated part of our mind.  As soon as we choose to stop projecting, that image will cease to exist – like turning off the projector in the cinema – and we will waken to the reality that we are Home.  It is not hard because it is simply love, like our Creator, Whom we are like because He created us like Himself.  All that is required is for us to remember that we are innocent, pure, whole (holy); that the ‘lie of satan’ — that we are unworthy sinners, full of guilt and therefore fearful of God’s judgement and vengeance upon us  — is ego’s script to keep us chained to littleness in time and place.

“You and I” are, indeed, One.  Allow that merging into one, true, eternal, whole, loving Identity to take place; do not try to force, or even hasten it.  That causes delay — unnecessary delay.  Allowing is accepting; accepting that littleness is not wholeness, not the complete picture.

Holy Spirit, beloved Self, Spirit of Truth: You are Who I really Am.

There is no other.

This realisation has been dawning upon me for some while now.

Go with the thought, the idea; it is drawing you further into the Light of Remembrance.  Be still within it, and allow it.  More details will slip into place as you entertain it peacefully in your mind.

Remember, there is no rush.  Can you hasten that butterfly to alight upon your finger by an act of self willing it so?  Allow it, instead; for ego-willing is an endeavour at control rather than freedom.  That will drive the butterfly away in fear.  Spirit, Truth, Reality know only freedom.  This is what free will means.  Not on your, ego, persona, limited, restricted, finite terms, but on equality of oneness terms.

“You and I” are, indeed, One.  Allow that merging into one, true, eternal, whole, loving Identity to take place; do not try to force, or even hasten it.  That causes delay — unnecessary delay.  Allowing is accepting; accepting that littleness is not wholeness, not the complete picture. 

It is like a child, eager to be at the seaside, trying to make dad go faster in his driving; trying, in his innocence and lack of understanding, to force the journey to be foreshortened, even though dad knows the way, the distance, the need to account for all the obstacles to be dealt with as each one arises on the road.  Dad will get the little one there, safely, but it must be within the conditions that present themselves in order for the journey to be completed safely.

Then the anxieties and stresses will be of none effect, the delays and setbacks minimised, and happiness assured.  So, sit back, leave the driving to the Driver, knowing He knows the Way, and will get you there — to oneness of Identity — perfectly safely, peacefully and joyfully.  There is no pain, no loss, no sacrifice entailed.  Persona self gradually remembers and accepts ‘Higher Self’ as reality and littleness falls away, loses appeal, no longer sees any advantage in being little, limited, restricted.

Thank You for Being with me every moment. 

(Emphatically) I can never leave you.  My purpose is to remind you to see and accept yourself as your True Self, as I see you.  This purpose will not fail, will move through the opportunity of time to completion in Eternity.  I love you with the Perfect Love of all Papa’s creation.
