Conversations with God Book 1

Joy-Truth-Love
The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. 
The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. 
The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love.
Joy, truth, love. These three are interchangeable, and one always leads to the other. It matters not in which order they are placed.

Unconditional Love

• You have forgotten what it was like to be loved without condition. You do not remember the experience of the love of God. And so you try to imagine what God’s love must be like, based on what you see of love in the world.
• It is your first nature to be unconditionally loving. It is your second nature to choose to express your first nature, your true nature, consciously.
• Now it is one thing to be love—and quite another thing to do something loving. The soul longs to do something about what it is, in order that it might know itself in its own experience. So it will seek to realize its highest idea through action.
• God’s greatest gift—unconditional love—and God’s greatest promise—unlimited potential.
• When you choose the action love sponsors, then will you do more than survive, then will you do more than win, then will you do more than succeed. Then will you  experience the full glory of Who You Really Are, and who you can be.

Fear Vs Love

Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. 
Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.
Fear wrap our bodies in clothing, Love allows us to stand naked. 
Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, Love gives all that we have away. 
Fear holds close, Love holds dear. 
Fear grasps, Love lets go. 
Fear rankles, Love soothes. 
Fear attacks, Love amends.

Knowing Vs Experiencing

• The soul—your soul—knows all there is to know all the time. There’s nothing hidden to it, nothing unknown. Yet knowing is not enough. The soul seeks to experience.
• In the absolute there is no experience, only knowing. Knowing is a divine state, yet the grandest joy is in being. Being is achieved only after experience. The evolution is this: knowing, experiencing, being. This is the Holy Trinity—the Triune that is God.

Energy Experiencing its Magnificence

• This energy—this pure, unseen, unheard, unobserved, and therefore unknown-by anyone- else energy—chose to experience Itself as the utter magnificence It was. In order to do this, It realized It would have to use a reference point within. It reasoned, quite correctly, that any portion of Itself would necessarily have to be less than the whole, and that if It thus simply divided Itself into portions, each portion, being less than the whole, could look back on the rest of Itself and see magnificence.

Prayer of Gratitude

• The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude. When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there… in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God; an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered. Therefore never supplicate. Appreciate.

Process of Creation

• Every prayer—every thought, every statement, every feeling—is creative. To the degree that it is fervently held as truth, to that degree will it be made manifest in your experience.
• The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Be.
• Emotion is energy in motion. When you move energy, you create effect. If you move enough energy, you create matter. Matter is energy conglomerated. Moved around. Shoved together. If you manipulate energy long enough in a certain way, you get matter.
• Actions are words moving. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are energies come together. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements existent. Elements are particles of God, portions of All, the stuff of everything.
• The promise of God is that you are His son. Her offspring. Its likeness. His equal.
• This is true for every soul, and so you see there are no victims in the universe, only creators. The Masters who have walked this planet all knew this. That is why, no matter which Master you might name, none imagined themselves to be victimized—though many were truly crucified.
• Nothing happens by accident in God’s world, and there is no such thing as coincidence. Nor is the world buffeted by random choice, or something you call fate.

Power of Creation

• I gave to each of the countless parts of Me (to all of My spirit children) the same power to create which I have as the whole.
• Conceive—create—experience. What you conceive you create, what you create you experience, what you experience you conceive.
• There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have.
• It is much easier to change what you are doing than to change what another is doing.
• “I am” is the strongest creative statement in the universe. Whatever you think, whatever you say, after the words “I am” sets into motion those experiences, calls them forth, brings them to you.
• You get your life to “take off” by first becoming very clear in your thinking about it. Think about what you want to be, do, and have. Think about it often until you are very clear about this. Then, when you are very clear, think about nothing else. Imagine no other possibilities.
• That which you condemn will condemn you, and that which you judge, you will one day become.
• Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.
• In My most sublime form, which you call God, I do not experience frustration.
• I will do nothing for you that you will not do for your Self.

Why Duality ?

• God knew that for love to exist —and to know itself as pure love—its exact opposite had to exist as well. So God voluntarily created the great polarity—the absolute opposite of love—everything that love is not—what is now called fear. In the moment fear existed, love could exist as a thing that could be experienced.

What you are?

You cannot experience yourself as what you are until you’ve encountered what you are not. This is the purpose of the theory of relativity, and all physical life. It is by that which you are not that you yourself are defined.

• You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. 
• You are peace and joy and light. 
• You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. 
• You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. 
• You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. All Masters know in advance that the deed has been done.

Purpose for You

• My purpose for you is that you should know yourself as Me.
• Your job on Earth, therefore, is not to learn (because you already know), but to remember Who You Are. And to re-member who everyone else is. That is why a big part of your job is to remind others (that is, to re-mind them), so that they can remember also. All the wonderful spiritual teachers haw been doing just that. It is your sole purpose. That is to say, your soul purpose.
• You are not on this planet to produce anything with your body. You are on this planet to produce something with your soul. Your body is simply and merely the tool of your soul. Your mind is the power that makes the body go. So what you have here is a power tool, used in the creation of the soul’s desire.
• There comes a time in the evolution of every soul when the chief concern is no longer the survival of the physical body, but the growth of the spirit; no longer the attainment of worldly success, but the realization of Self.
• Go ahead and do what you really love to do! Do nothing else! You have so little time. How can you think of wasting a moment doing something for a living you don’t like to do? What kind of a living is that? That is not a living, that is a dying!
• This is an advanced level of thinking, and it is one which all Masters reach sooner or later. For it is only when they can accept responsibility for all of it that they can achieve the power to change part of it.

Negative Thoughts

When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts—thoughts that negate your highest idea about a thing—think again! I want you to do this, literally. 

• If you think you are in a doldrum, in a pickle, and no good can come of this, think again. 
• If you think the world is a bad place, filled with negative events, think again. 
• If you think your life is falling apart, and it looks as if you’ll never get it back together again, think again.

Passion Vs Desire

• There are those who say that to know God you must overcome all earthly passions. Yet to understand and accept them is enough. What you resist persists. What you look at disappears.
• The renunciate never denies passion—the renunciate simply denies attachment to results. Passion is a love of doing. Doing is being, experienced. Yet what is often created as part of doing? Expectation. To live your life without expectation—without the need for specific results —that is freedom. That is Godliness. That is how I live.
• There are those who say you must overcome your desires. I say you must simply change them. The first practice feels like a rigorous discipline, the second, a joyful exercise.

Karma

• No, there is no such thing as karmic debt—not in the sense that you mean in this question. A debt is something that must or should be repaid. You are not obligated to do anything.
• If karma is the innate desire to be better, to be bigger, to evolve and to grow, and to look at past events and experiences as a measure of that, then, yes, karma does exist.

Relationships

• Bless, therefore, every relationship, and hold each as special and formative of Who You Are—and now choose to be.
• The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.
• The most loving person is the person who is Self-centered.
• Your first relationship, therefore, must be with your Self. You must first learn to honor and cherish and love your Self.
• My teachers have all come with the same message. Not “I am holier than thou,” but “You are as holy as am I.” This is the message you have not been able to hear; this is the truth you have not been able to accept. And that is why you can never truly, purely, fall in love with another. You have never truly, purely fallen in love with your Self. And so I tell you this: be now and forever centered upon your Self. Look to see what you are being, doing, and having in any given moment, not what’s going on with another.

Sex

• But for goodness sake, don’t destroy sexual innocence and pleasure and the purity of the fun, the joy, by misusing sex. Don’t use it for power, or hidden purpose; for ego gratification or domination; 
• Sex is an extraordinary expression of love— love of another, love of Self, love of life. You ought to therefore love it! 

Health

• Worry, hate, fear—together with their offshoots: anxiety, bitterness, impatience, avarice, unkindness,judgmentalness, and condemnation—all attack the body at the cellular level. It is impossible to have a healthy body under these conditions.
• If you ever lit a cigarette in your life—much less smoked a pack a day for 20 years as you have—you have very little will to live. You don’t care what you do to your body.
• And if you’ve ever taken alcohol into your body, you have very little will to live. The body was not meant to intake alcohol. It impairs the mind.
• You never do die. Life is eternal. You are immortal. You never do die. You simply change form. You didn’t even have to do that. You decided to do that, I didn’t. I made you bodies that would last forever.

Enlightenment

• There is no such thing as “getting to heaven.” There is only a knowing that you are already there.
• Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you’re being right now. You are on a journey to nowhere.
• I do not love hot more than I love cold, high more than low, left more than right. It is all relative. It is all part of what is.I do not love “good” more than I love “bad.”
• Perfect love is to feeling what perfect white is to color. Many think that white is the absence of color. It is not. It is the inclusion of all color. White is every other color that exists, combined. So, too, is love not the absence of an emotion (hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, covetousness), but the summation of all feeling. It is the sum total. The aggregate amount. The everything.
• In the moment of your total knowing (which moment could come upon you at anytime), you, too, will feel as I do always: totally joyful, loving, accepting, blessing, and grateful.

True God

• A true Master is not the one with the most students, but one who creates the most Masters.
• A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most leaders.
• A true king is not the one with the most subjects, but one who leads the most to royalty.
• A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have knowledge.
• And a true God is not One with the most servants, but One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others.

Nothing Vs Everything

• It is the nothing which holds the everything. It is the non-space which holds the space. It is the all which holds the parts.
• It is from the am-notness that I come, and to it I always return. whatever manner I choose and whatever form I take, none will be incontrovertible.

God knows what you know, and what you know is what appears as your reality.

So long as one of us holds the truth about you, the truth about you shall ultimately prevail.
