How do I get out of here?
Dear David,
I've been searching for something more.
If what you're saying is the way home,
I virtually have to let go of every belief I've been taught
into a complete turnaround.
I must say this is just like the film The Matrix.
Awesome!
Could you tell me how do I get out of here?
Beloved one,
The experience of awakening is truly profound.
To know oneself is to be alive as Spirit.
The experiences perceived trough the five senses
may seem real during the undoing,
the release of false belief,
and yet, the experience of the present moment is inevitable.
Just as Neo seems to be carried along,
step by steep, in the matrix,
the awakening may seem like a process.
There comes a moment in which the world
is seen to be passed.
And this moment is the moment of freedom.
In the present there is no process.
It seems to require leaps of faith
only because faith has been placed in illusion
and must be withdrawn from error.
The perceived world of opposites
was the attempt to deny the oneness of reality.
And as the desire for peace
calls the experience of peace into awareness,
it is obvious that peace is without an opposite.
Here is the key.
Listen within.
The steps are obvious to a willing mind.
First, it must become apparent
that duality is not the home of our Self - the Christ.
It is therefore impossible to be content and happy in duality.
All restlessness is simply the fear of waking.
The dreamer of a dream must be aware of dreaming
to awaken from the dream.
The awareness that leads to waking
is forgiveness of illusion.
To forgive is simply to see the false as false.
And there are no exceptions to this state of mind.
It is impossible to achieve partial forgiveness.
Forgiveness must be experienced completely,
to be experienced at all.
Christ is calling you out of the world.
And as the meaning of this statement is first glimpsed
it is apparent that there is literally no way to participate
in the thinking of the world,
and, simultaneously, know thyself.
Truth and illusion have no meeting point.
Perfect love casts out fear.
And light abolishes darkness.
The Guide within first leads inward,
toward an experience, an adventure -
the discovery of the awareness of dreaming.
In this state of awareness it is always apparent
that nothing real is happening in the world.
The forms seemed to shift and change;
the dream figures seem to come and go;
yet, the substance-less nature of appearances,
the fabric of the dream,
can no longer deceive the dreamer.
The matrix of the illusion of control has no attraction or allure
from the perspective that arises from thinking with God.
Dream softly of a sinless world, devoid of judgment.
God does not judge,
for there is literally nothing to judge between.
Forgiveness might be called the acceptance of a wholeness that knows no parts.
Often spiritual awakening is associated with giving up something.
This false association springs from the belief in lack,
which was the impossible attempt to deny wholeness.
What God creates is forever whole and knows not of lack.
There is no need to give up something that never existed.
The illusory nature of dreams is obvious
when the wish to separate has been released.
Instantaneously, it is evident
that wholeness never went anywhere,
for it is ever so.
Willingness to awaken also includes
the release of the desire
to get out of here.
For in the discovery of wholeness
there is no here, nor there.
It is impossible to pursue, or fight to escape something,
without seeming to reinforce the belief
that something other than wholeness exist.
Wholeness transcends all apparent seeming.
If Christ is real, the world is not.
Spirit comes not into time and space.
Awakening is the recognition that Spirit is real
and identity in God is changeless.
The body has no meaning because mind is One,
and Spirit is One.
And there is no gap in what is forever One.
I am Spirit. Rejoice in this fact.
Thank you God for creating all as One in Spirit.
Following the thinking of the Holy Spirit is easy,
as there is no desire for something else.
Awakening is natural,
and only seems difficult if appearances are given value.
Value no appearance, and truth instantly leaps into awareness.
How simple and obvious is the truth.
I love you forever and ever, holy one.
David
