Seek God's Grace
In everything you do
Because
It is through God's Grace
That everything is accomplished.

Inner Voice: You can only live in the here and now. Don't look back or forward. Don't allow guilt thoughts from the past to enter your mind... plan or speculate about the future. Be here now... right now, in the very place where you stand... right at this moment in time.

Standing in the present... say to yourself... I am one with God... I am His divine Being... I am filled with Light... I am the Christ. Hold on to those thoughts... think about their meaning... reach to realize their truth. You are the Christ right here and now. Let every thing else go... allow no thoughts from the past... the future is assured in a perfect now... you are free forever in the great here and now... you are the Christ... one with God.

You are now present in the here and now... you know that you are the Christ (at least, you intellectually know it)... NOW... be the Christ... live it. Allow God, within you, to stand forth. Keep your personal mind calm and free of thought... be still... allow God's pure thoughts flow to you... and through you to the world... allow God to think and speak and act through your body and mind. BE ONE.

Practice. In the beginning you will continually fall into your old habit patterns of thinking, speaking and acting... when you realise you're doing this... calm yourself, be still... realize again the here and now... reaffirm... I AM the Christ! Live it.

At first, you may only be able to maintain your awareness of your "Christ consciousness" for a few minutes at a time. This is understandable... this is a completely new experience... and you are probably very uncertain.

As you continue on the path, the times of awareness will grow and your Inner Voice will prompt you... "remember, you are the Christ." Continually affirm quietly to yourself... "I am the Christ... I am one with God, ." Think it, say it, sing it, live it... you are the Christ... here and now. You have always been the Christ, no matter what dark illusions your personal self has been involved in... in the past.

Make this your life... for in reality, this is your life... all else is irrelevant... illusion... you are the Christ. You are a divine being, perfect-healthy-whole... you are light... you are love... you are now and always have been one with God... the Christ, in the here and now, of God's consciousness.

The Law of God is One... Be. I ask, "Be what?" My Inner Voice answers, "Be Me." I reply, "I want to be you." "I have free will, the ability to choose, and... I choose to be you." My Inner Voice gently points out, "You have not always wanted to be me... with your free will choice, you chose to be something else, and now you believe that you are your personality, Pete."

I try to side step the issue, "No, no, others made those choices for me, my family and their friends started calling me, Pete, right off... they said your name is, Pete." Inner Voice, "They said your name was, Pete, and you, using your free will of choice... accepted it." "That first choice was the beginning of the long progression of choices which led you away from the realization of your true self... ME." "Your name is not, Pete... to Me, your name is the same as mine... the sound of the wind." "Thank you Lord, that's beautiful," I sighed.

"Well," I replied after a bit, "It seems my problem is my ability to choose; now, as well as in the past... what should I do about that?" Quietly my Inner Voice replies, "Give it up." "Give it up," I almost shout, "If I gave up my ability to choose... why, I would be nothing... nobody!!" "That's right" my Inner voice replied, "you would be nobody... that is what you are... nobody... your personal self is an illusion."

I was quiet for a long time, then I said, "If I am an illusion... a nobody... then what am I?" "I walk, I talk, I think, I have emotions, I have experiences and I remember them, I can see, hear, feel, taste, and smell, and you say... I am nothing." My Inner Voice replied, "No, I didn't say you were nothing, I said your personal self is an illusion... and you said, if I am an illusion... then what am I?" "The answer to that is very simple... you are really ME." "Or more correctly put, I AM you... I created you to express myself through, in this material earthly reality.

"Now stop, you cannot curl up and hide... there is no need to, nothing has changed... we are one Being... Father and Son, One Being living in and sharing one body... and I LOVE YOU beyond words." "This is reality, My Son, as always, you may accept it, or deny it... but no matter what you choose, it will remain the same... the truth." "The realities you create, change... my realities of Love, Life, Light, Law and the Truth, never change... they are now, always have been and always shall be." "I AM THE LAW NOW AND FOREVER." By My
Grace your world exists.

"When an individual starts for the Promised Land, the land of darkness must be forsaken, forgotten. He must leave the darkness and start toward the light. It is impossible to go and stay at the same time. The old must be forsaken, and the new adhered to. He must forget the things he does not wish to remember, and remember only the things he wishes to retain. One is as essential as the other."

"The vision only must be remembered if he wishes it fulfilled. He must remember by holding in mind the vision he wishes to reproduce. Every idea, thought, word or act must be true to the vision in order to bring it forth. This is true concentration, the concentration of devotion. The centering of the forces upon the essential. This is loving the ideal. It is only through love that the ideal can be given expression. Love makes the ideal become the real."

"If at first he fail, he must be determined and press on. This is the exercise of the will, the cry of self-confidence, the expression of faith directing the power toward the ideal. The ideal could never be attained without this conscious direction of power, this exercise of will, and yet it would be fatal to the ideal if the will, too, were not ideal. The will must possess the same quality as the ideal to serve. If the will does not possess the desire to serve, the power will wishes to direct cannot be released from the soul.

"You fail utterly to see, that after this great awakening or realization within myself, it took long days and nights of struggle in seclusion and silence, all alone, right within myself and with myself."

"How at times, I struggled on and on with clenched fists and set teeth, seeing and knowing that the light was there; although there seemed to be but one last flickering ray, and at times it seemed that that last ray had gone out and a shadow was cast in its place. Even then, something within me was ever strong and dominant, that, back of the shadow, the light was as bright as ever."

"I went on and cast aside the shadow and found the light burning even brighter because of the temporary dimming."

Jesus

"Spiritual enlightenment may be attained by total devotion to the living God within... for in the end it is God's Grace alone which opens the door to eternity."

The grace of God uplifts and strengthens me.

Grace is my divine heritage, and I accept this powerful activity of God's love in my life in all the forms it presents itself to me.

If I am feeling down, the love of God lifts me up. From this higher consciousness, I am able to see the bigger picture of my life. I release thoughts of unfulfilled expectations and replace them with ones of grateful anticipation for all the ways that God continues to bless me through grace.

The love of God soothes my Soul and heals any past hurts so that I can move on with my life. God's love for me inspires me to be loving. Being an expression of love in the lives of others fulfills me. Love strengthens me and my relationships.

I am grateful for the sacred bond God and I share and for the blessings of grace in my life. By the grace of God, I live a life of fulfillment.

Inner Voice:
I AM all that exists... spirit, matter, motion... life. By My grace do things I created exist. I create all things out of Myself and give them life. I create living creatures by joining My Spirit with matter. I AM in all and of all... there is nothing outside of My Being.

I AM all knowledge and power... My spirit is everywhere. All matter is my body. I create as I will... giving life... and death at the proper time. Woe, be onto the creature that usurps my power and takes their life before the appointed hour.

Hell I know not... I create a perfect universe... My light is everywhere. On earth I create man... in my image... with free will to choose... and the power to create. Man, in his ignorance, created the illusion that he is separate from Myself... and that there are results called good and evil.

I created light, life and love... perfect and eternal. Man created darkness and evil... an imperfect and temporary illusion. In his illusion man inflicts pain on himself and others. He creates hell... where in reality only light and love exist. To escape the hell he created... man only has to give up one thing... himself. I AM all that exists. Love, Light, Life, Law.

The Goal In Life Is To Unite The Conscious Mind With The Soul.
Only with God's Grace can this be accomplished.

In all
Your choices
Choose God.

God's Grace,
from The Song of God

"Though a man be soiled
With the sins of a lifetime,
Let him but love me,
Rightly resolved,
In utter devotion:
I see no sinner,
That man is holy.
Holiness soon
Shall refashion his nature."

Spiritual Enlightenment... by God's Grace... for God is all there is.
