There is an Ever-Present Love Known to exist deep beyond you. Seeking for and revealing this Love seems to be goal of all spiritual practice. But what if I told you that this Love goes nowhere and needs nothing from you? This statement may make sense to the advanced student. This student has come to recognize their ultimate changeless Nature and how the so-called spiritual practice is only about reacquainting oneself with Love beyond form and time’s perceived distance. However, to the average earth-goer, who still believes in the value of the world around them, this Ever-Present Love appears to hide. “Where do I need to go to find Love?” is the question of the thinking mind. For Me, to respond to a heartfelt inquiry, “nowhere” presents elusive and frustrating. But yet, in Truth there is nowhere to go and nothing needed to do in order to Know Love. The space between this Knowledge and your personal awareness presents as vast and confusing. If I take the value of the world from you, are you then left with emptiness? Surely, to be left with a perceived void of identity, is not My intention. I am not here to psychologically wound you. The Lessons are about recognizing where false evidence appears real and how the world’s witnesses are accepted as valued, despite their ability to make only despondency. The majority of humanity has yet to realize this unfruitful pathway. The thinking mind wants to continue to seek even when you begin to realize that the seeking is not working. “What then do I have for myself?” you ask. Everything, My Beloved. You HAVE Everything! You ARE Everything. [Pam asks] “How can I have everything if objects, people and circumstances are nothing but models of separation? It is this separation that I see.” Do not measure yourself by such limited means. You have everything because you have the ability to not allow limitations to define you. Here, the Entirety of Creation reveals its Self once more, because you no longer are seeing through eyes that choose to define or separate.

As Aaron writes about the third belief of the Ego and the Mantra “I am not in control, I am being lived “ Another great writer, Mary Angelou wrote “Life loves the Liver of it “ I experience a Paradox. I am missing the essential piece, the connection.

Beloved One, how much joy do you honestly choose to See about You? Or would your mind rather project experiences of suspicion, fear, frustration, blame, shame and guilt, lack, loss and limitation? When I say, “would you rather,” I do mean this to be a definitive choice—as the definitions only arise from the mind with which you play. Yes, one can blame the thinking mind for these conditions and not the personal self. That said, the personal self is most frequently involved in agreement with these perceptions. The personal self is the conduit through which the perceptions are made manifest and the evidence supporting these perceptions are confirmed. The body’s eyes do not know of ‘tragedy;’ however, the thinking mind first confirms the possibility, labeling tragedy as existing by certain means or ways. Then as the body’s eyes see, the mind attempts to fit the evidence into the matching representation. Thereby, while all bodies can agree that ‘tragedy’ exists, this experience is not the same for every body, at equivalent times. Yes, these ‘defining moments’ happen seemingly instantaneously – as quick as breathing or blinking, but there is a process, nonetheless. Begin to notice this process and your experience of body-time-self becomes more still, while the radiance of your reacquainting with Self beholds a quickening. The world’s witnesses can show you all identifications that the mind thinks it wants. Just take a look at ‘the news’ and your thoughts will get all the presumed ‘confirmation’ they need. This is why, in our unlearning together, we must pay direct attention to the thoughts that we perceive. Let us look at our illusions together, so that we can choose again beyond them. Let the thinking mind bring forth its witnesses. Let them march in front of you like the tin soldiers they are in time. Together, we use these revealed play things for your gain, identifying their lack of strength. We watch as they quickly tumble together in line. Their tiny guns and disorganized moves, can affect you no longer.

As I was traveling across the globe, airports, crowds, so called security ;-) triggers, triggers, triggers, seemingly from all directions, right, left, above, below ( Ego forbids not from within ) all so very real, nonstop. Inner pain, suffering, suffocating with the fear of having entered an inferno of insanity. Yet something kept me practicing, reading, re reading Lesson 23. By he end of very long day + 9hours time zones, the ride came to a screeching halt, luminosity suffused out of the daily lesson words and I was left at the very silent center of it all, fully responsible and empowered ? Like Mark emphasized, this lesson is like putting the brakes on the crazy ride, driven by a maniac. It was time for a stop on the side of the very painful bumpy road, to take a big inhale, lock the ego in the trunk for a while ( out of Compassion, Wisdom, Love and perhaps even Devotion :) ) ) but mostly trading seats for another scenery, to be discovered…. On a final positive note, now I do not have to wake up at 6 am to join daily circles ;))) Love All Love
