Good morning Roy, good morning Joseth.
Roy, man has the capacity to live in
happiness and abundance. Freedom, was guaranteed to man, before he was ever
born. There has always been and still is enough abundance on earth, that can be
shared equally. Life was never meant to be miserable, difficult or suffering. At
some level man chose those things. At some level man told man that suffering was
righteous and holy. "IT IS NOT!" Why would anyone want to discover spirituality
and wholeness under such conditions? Why would anyone buy into that stuff? It is
the ‘one’ that has everything, or the ‘one’ that has given up, that would tell
you these things. One would be out of greed, and the other from jealousy.
This idea of ‘God’ that man has should
boggle the most sane person. That an intelligent man would buy into this, just
as easily as the simple man. A wise man would run from such a proposal.
Why would you buy, using your
common sense, from the rich man, a car, that he advertises as a gas guzzler, in
poor condition, uncomfortable, hard to maneuver, and has poor gas mileage? What
sane man would put out his hard earned cash for this car? A wise man would
recognize it for what it was. A smart man would try and figure out what the deal
was, and a simple man, would walk right into it.
This is what your religions are offering
you. You can have it, if you can afford it, but you will really have to be
humble and suffer for it. What makes this sales pitch work for so many people.
The pitch is more powerful that the car salesman’s, because it has the element
of punishment. Can you imagine how many poor quality cars the man could sell, if
there was a punishment of eternal damnation attached to the deal if you did not
purchase his car? And the most ridiculous part of this deal is you get the fear
and punishment only when you buy the car. If you don’t want it, I’ll have my
boys in the back yard give you a personal test drive to a hot climate. The other
thing is that when you buy this lemon, you must tell everyone how great it is.
You must go out and sell cars for me. The free trip offer is the same. Instill
fear into your neighbours, so that they will buy from you.
The greatest selling pitch that organized
religion has, even better than unconditional love, is the "fear factor," and it
is well played out. What is it that causes good people to buy fear, you would
think the product should speak for itself. Fear holds you in it’s grip and it is
the only thing that holds you. It laughs at you, and demoralizes you. It beats
you into submission. Highly intelligent and powerful people are humbled and
brought to there knees, by this fear. Fear is the opposite of love. Love can not
be in the same space as fear. Try this if you don’t believe me, in the silence
of your space now, declare that God is dead, denounce God, call God a moron, or
any other derogatory remark you can think of. Feel the fear, that you have when
you say it. Most people will not be able to utter the words, those that do will
ask for forgiveness. The fear is powerful.
Mankind has forgotten who he really is
and is easy pray for those amongst you who teach intolerance and fear, man is a
victim of the fear he has instilled upon himself. He has created a "false god,"
that punishes at his whim, for the smallest of infractions. He is lead easily by
the power he has given his religious leaders. "It is not I, that has created
religion," I take only the responsibility for giving man his freedom to create
anything that he wishes. But I do not either endorse it or condemn it. I am
simply making an observation that what you have created, is not working for you,
given what you say you want and where you are going with it. I am not that which
makes your life miserable, it is you, and you do it from the position of free
choice and you do it very well. You have given up your power to others in
exchange for a false sense of security. It is fear that is holding you back from
taking back what is rightfully yours. You have made it almost impossible to
reach me, except through the institutions that you have set up. Before religion,
you were always aware of my presence, you sensed me, you had an awareness of
your connection.
Most of you have lost the
connection, you go
to halls with stained glass windows with symbols of my world, depicted by your
leaders. NON OF THIS IS ME, you can not reach me there. There is no secret to
communing with me, there is no ritual that can bring you to me, there is no one
that can pray for your soul. I can not be any place other that where I am, and I
am everywhere and in everything, you are looking in the wrong place. Even the
most enlightened amongst you, have made ritualism out of spirituality. You have
made it almost impossible to communicate with me. Your prayers have less content
and too much fluff. You must know that you are worthy to come to me anytime. You
were worthy when you left me and you are worthy now. It is your mind that is
getting in the way. It is your rituals and your words. THERE IS NOTHING YOU HAVE
TO DO , BE, OR SAY TO GET TO ME. Simple allow yourself to be assimilated into
your surroundings and you will know me. Empty your mind, and I will fill it. You
do not need any ones approval. You did not need it before you where born, and
you do not need it now. You can not reach me on the road most travelled. It’s a
solemn thought of me, simply an awareness.
Your existence was designed to be joyous,
healthy and abundant. You have willingly turned away from this life, do not look
to me to change it. I can not, once again I have given you free will, I will not
interfere. It is a natural law. Your circumstances can change in a heartbeat
with the simple decision to change it. You alone have the power to change your
life in any fashion that you choose. You also have chosen to be a victim of your
own ignorance. You have bound yourself with paper chains, and feel helpless to
break them.
In order to free yourself, you must walk
away from everything that you now know, everything that you believe and
everything that you believe to be your truth. You must be willing to give it all
up. You must walk away from fear. It is your decision and yours alone. That my
friend is unconditional love, move past the fear and you will know freedom. Give
it up, if you dare and you will become your own master. You have the key in your
pocket, what is holding you back, what is stopping you, really, what is stopping
you?
Peace on earth comes from the idea that you
can have it, not that some one else is going to get it for you. It is not a wish
or a desire, it is a reality that you choose. Know peace and you shall have it,
know abundance and it shall be yours, choose happiness and you will be happy. GO
BLINDLY, OPEN YOURSELF UP FOR THE POSSIBILITIES, GIVE IT NO THOUGHT!
A good leader does not create followers, but
more leaders. A good leader does not create religion, but encourages one to go
their own way. A good leader does not announce himself as such, but walks
amongst you and serves by example. "If you see the Buddha walking down the
street, run from him, for he is a false Buddha." You will not reach me, until
you begin to accept responsibility for your own life. You had that once, and you
gave it away. Take back you power, and know me, I am already with you, not
outside of your or out there anywhere, I am everywhere. I am not anyone else’s
idea. I am you idea. Do not worship me or follow me, you can not find me. Only
then will you know me.
