Question: For us, what would you share this morning? Be very specific, please.
Answer: Tell me how you feel.
Question: I feel like I can’t be myself because the world makes too many demands on me. I want to quit, runaway, be alone and be happy.
I feel like ego is all I can hear. It is very strong, and since I know this isn’t really me, I also feel lost. I want “me” back. I feel like “me” when I live in perfect trust with a clear mind and my heart is open. Right now that isn’t my experience, so I am sad, scared and angry. I lash out in hate. I feel imprisoned.
I also just had that wonderful de ja vu experience, which seems to tell me everything is going to be ok because I am right on track now.
What would you share? Please help me. (By the way, I realize the cry for help is not helpful. I can feel it. So I place the cry for help aside realizing that the answers come from me, which means I do not need help. I am help. I am the one who comforts me.)
What would you share?
Answer: Grounding yourself is important, and this is what you did by sharing how you feel. When you share how you feel with yourself, yourself answers with what is true and what is not true. Somewhere within you, more as a feeling or intuition than as words, you hear that how you feel is not how you really feel. Something within you knows that the surface feelings, surface fears and judgments are not your truth, and so it tells you this isn’t real. You find yourself writing how you feel while also realizing from some faraway point of recognition that this isn’t true.
That faraway point of recognition that doesn’t believe your dramas as true is that which you call Me. It is your Holy Spirit, fully and perfectly aware within you. It is the Voice of Peace.
It is very important to listen to the Voice of Peace within you, and one thing this Voice is telling you is that your feelings aren’t true. This is a very literal statement. The feelings that you seem to experience and suffer from are not your true feelings. At a level within you that is deeper than the feelings you feel, those feelings are not there. They are not there because they are absent. They are absent because they aren’t real, and so they do not exist within the depth of you.
The depth of you is where you reside, and so if you are to know you at a conscious level, you must let your consciousness go there. If you stay at the surface, caught up in it as if it is real, the surface will be your experience and you will feel lost. But if you bring your consciousness to your depth, depth rises into your consciousness and that shall be your experience, even within the same experience of form.
I have told you before that it is an error to focus on your need for healing, because this makes your need for healing real. To focus on your need for healing is to remain at the surface, so the surface is your experience. You do not need healing. The healed mind exists within you now. The mind that has never lost its peace and knowledge is within you now. You cannot need healing when all perfection is a part of you. You must only get in touch with that part and know that part is the part that is real.
I have told you that zero code is zero code, and there is nothing other to learn. All you have to realize is that the false is false, and the false is not you. In letting it go as untrue, it has no effect on your experience. It is holding to it that makes it seem real for you.
We’ve talked about addiction lately, and I’ve said addiction is only illusion. Addiction is illusion because it isn’t the truth of you; it isn’t the truth of the depth of you. But at the surface, which is wholly untrue, addiction is an experience you seem to suffer with. Addiction is merely this: Addiction is staying at the surface and experiencing the surface as if it is your truth. Addiction disappears the instant you go deeper and dive into the depth of you.
I’ve said that addiction is habit. It is a habit to live at the surface of consciousness. Therefore, it takes focus to go into the depth and live your living from there. However, this focus can also become a habit, until living from your depth is a natural reaction to all circumstances of form.
I’ve told you that looking outside yourself is more hurtful than you realize. This is because you will never find yourself there. You are that which is the depth of you, and you cannot find that on the outside. To focus outside is to stay at the surface, and the surface experience will be confused with you. You will feel lost.
Do not try to bring the surface into you to fix you. You can never find an answer there. Go within. Get in touch with you, then bring that to the surface. That is the most helpful thing you can do.
Question: How is our relationship helpful to this process?
Answer: Your relationship is not anchored without. Your relationship is anchored within…deep, deep within. Your purpose together is to hold hands and touch that anchor. When you touch that anchor, you know it. The surface problems fade or disappear. Together, you are to go into that anchor. Become that anchor. Exist in and as that anchor. When you hold hands, see and speak from that anchor, separation disappears completely.
The key here is the knowing within. It is a very strong place within you. Reach in for only that, knowing it is there. Reach only in. Do not reach out. Read my messages again without adding anything to them. Read them again and see that I am clearly asking you to reach in for you, because you will find you there. Once you live from you, nothing else is a problem.
