Find peace by giving it! It is the only way.

Dearly Beloved,

We must always strive to be aware of what we are giving every moment on the road of spiritual recovery.  We must be willing to admit when we make mistakes and allow God to correct them as we allow ourselves the Grace eternally given us by extending it to others. Most of us aren’t aware of why things happen the way they do. We think the world we experience is happening to us rather than through us and for us. So lost in the dream of separation of cause and effect we either don’t know or forget we are walking around in our mind experiencing only our own thoughts. We are so deeply in denial of the creative law of the universe, that giving and receiving is the same in truth. Aren’t you?

Take a moment to describe your life. How do you experience reality? What are you? Are you living in a horror flick? That's what you are giving to yourself by giving it to others. You either see the Spirit or you see the flesh. You either see the light of innocence radiate from the world around you or you see the darkness of a condemning world in the belief you’re a body.

Aren’t we always blaming someone or something for our emotional state and life circumstances? Don’t you? Doesn't it always involve the body in some way? For those of us who are just waking up to being a conscious dreamer, begin learning this lesson by making a firm commitment to realize this truth in a reflection of ourselves right here, right now!

“Please God, Teach me giving and receiving is the same in truth.”

Say it like you mean it!

Did you do it?

Great! Get ready for a journey that will take you back to the endless river of Life.

For those of us who have been walking on recovery road for a while, we mustn’t ever delude ourselves into believing this moment can ever be justified as if we didn’t ask for it. No one can dream our dream for us. YOU ARE THE DREAMER OF THE DREAM!

This law that, giving in receiving in the same, is what has been holding you in the prison of your own mind and you didn’t know it. It is the same law that will ultimately save you. Used by the ego it is its chief weapon of pain as we crucify ourselves. Used by the Spirit it becomes a useful tool in the happy game of salvation for ourselves. We can use it in our choice to stay in hell or walk back through the gates of heaven. It’s a choice for stimulation, deprivation, and anger or stillness, abundance, and peace.  Fear or Love? Life eternal or death! It’s your choice for the giving.  Do you want a noisy mind or to hear a timeless Voice?

Choose hell and you stay in denial that judgment, pleasure, and preferences are different from pain, forever thirsty in the desert, where you always need one more.  Oh, how happy we think we are to get another sip of water as we trade our sickness back and forth.  Yet we only seem to be okay, just a short reprieve, before we stagger on in the blistering heat of a relentless world, our very own tormented mind, in the blistering sun of our own thoughts and feelings blaming the thing on God! What’s more is that we love to pay the heavy price to stay insane. We think it serves us well to stay asleep in the body dream and be as stone.

Perhaps we can choose Heaven today and play the happy game that children play and learn to leave the game of trading ills behind. That does mean that we won’t stumble on the path and lose our way awhile. It doesn’t mean we won’t drink some dirty water on the way as work to reach our goal of the endless fountain. Let’s just be honest we are going to fall a lot and will be drinking a lot of water as we learn THE PEACE OF GOD IS ALL I REALLY WANT. That’s going to take a lot of compassion and forgiveness as we learn to laugh at our own egos. We really can exist our suffering laughing. Try it! Next time you want to kick yourself give it a good laugh. If you see your friend kicking themselves see our Friend in them and help them chuckle.  Silly egos!

Instead of judging ourselves harshly, as if we could really commit a real crime deserving of punishment, making our own guilt real, we can choose to be gentle with ourselves. That is impossible to do if you believe this world is more than just an illusion. It’s much easier when you understand YOU ARE ALWAYS UPSET BY SOMETHING THAT ISN’T REAL. You can choose to have a shift in perception and realize there is another way of looking at the world.  We can choose to see we can only make mistakes to be corrected and allow ourselves to be what it is we really are, an innocent child of God learning to walk out of an illusion. You won’t find that out if you think that punishment in any form is a solution. How can it be? Punishment makes guilt real and tells a lie that it’s possible to lose our innocence.  Do you want to live in that illusion anymore?

Would you be a happy learner with me and give the gift that God has given me to give to you? I asked Him for you and He said, “What needs my forgiveness when I have never condemned? What needs my forgiveness when I never judged you? What are you giving to your Self, I gave it not? You but condemn your Self! You but try to crucify your Self!  Forgive your Self for believing this body dream and attack is real. I don’t create things that die nor would I give my Self pain, so it never really was or is. Forgive your Self and all will be forgiven. Forgive so you may live”.

My eternal friends, all attack is self-attack. We must see that attacking another is never going to get us anywhere but nailing ourselves to the cross. Let us see what sickness we trading and stop attacking ourselves. There is only one Self so giving and receiving will forever be the same. Are you living this truth? How did you feel this week when you made a mistake and no one was around to see you kick yourself? No more kicking ourselves as we play this happy game with God. What are you giving? Forgive your Self!

Let us learn to have the peace of God, we must teach of His peace to learn it. That teaching and learning is the same. Let us learn, "into the hands of the giver, the gift is given". Let us give the gift of Grace today. This world is a dream and it can be a dream of forgiveness, innocence, and peace. Do you want it? What does your brother mean to you? Teach him by giving him what you would give to your Self so you can learn of our loving Self again and leave your wicked self behind. Remember to teach only what you want to learn.

Remember also, because it is a dream, RELAX, don’t take it all so seriously. This may seem hard to do at times but if we are willing to learn Truth will teach us it is so. We can learn only by giving. Relax with me. All is well!

Much love!  God Saves, Kenney
