Forgiveness of yourself, others, or the world for you not being who you are, is necessary. Without it your reconciliation with the life you have lived so far, which led to discord and a lack of harmony, is incomplete.
This new perspective of forgiveness, which allows you to understand that the central cause of human pain arises from not being, will permit the last vestiges of limiting mental patterns to fade forever, replaced with a clear sky full of light and truth.
Often in life you acted on the basis of what you thought you should be rather than on what you wanted to express. Every soul that walks the Earth knows of this. Not a heart beating in this world does not cry or mourn at the perceived impossibility of being.
Not being is the drama of humankind. We are bringing awareness to this truth so that you can free yourself forever from everything that may be an obstacle to the living expression of your reality of pure holy love. Previously you searched for teachers, for your chosen guides in the world. Some you chose consciously; most you did not. They helped you in one way or another, for everything serves the spirit of wisdom. But none of them took you to your true being, the only spiritual goal worthy of achievement.
Those who do not know cannot tell you what you are. Those who do not know what you are, are incapable of showing you the way of being. Everyone has their ego, so cannot show another the truth. This is why you have felt let down so many times. But that disappointment, if examined calmly, is not anchored in truth.
Disappointments arise from a deception powerful enough to subvert your understanding. But this is not the case. The disappointments you experienced in your life arose from a false expectation of others and the world which you yourself forged. You expected something from what cannot give you anything. It was never their function to do so. Again, the world is neutral. Creation is neutral.
Every disappointment has its origin in illusion. This can be easily understood now that you know who you are. The illusions you conceived led to false expectations of yourself, and with that, of the world. What do we mean by this? Please listen carefully.
What you could not be was not the truth about you, but an illusion. When identified with the ego, you forged an ideal self. An ideal self is an alternative to being. By denying your being, as we have already said, you denied your true identity shared with Christ. But since you had to be something, or someone, you created a false idea of yourself. Consequently, and without much thought, you then dedicated yourself to trying to achieve that ideal self, shaped by what others told you, by what you observed in the world, and by your decision to “be someone."
That false identity was built by a collective consciousness linked in a constant feedback system to your unique consciousness. That constant feedback system operates in both the dimension of the separate mind and in the truth of the One Mind. There is no such thing as separation—not even in the sphere of self-centeredness. Recognizing this as true will set you free.
You were never autonomous. You were never separate. That body you thought was linked to an individual personality disconnected from others and from everything, never was and could not be. Seeking to differentiate by means of autonomy is impossible. That is why the frustration you felt when you perceived that you could not be yourself is as false as the illusion of an ideal self.
Cease to remain angry with the world that until now disallowed you to be who you really are. When you felt you could not be yourself, in reality what happened was that you felt you could not be your ideal self. But an ideal self was never your true identity. It was never a Christ that ceased to be. Regardless of how conscious or unconscious you have been, the will of God has been fulfilled fully in you forever.
To be angry about what others, the world, or your disabilities have done to prevent you from being yourself, is as absurd as believing that God has ceased to be because of a social mandate. Be glad to know that there are no mandates, human laws, or beliefs that can determine what God is. In Her perfect immutability resides the certainty that your being has never ceased to be holy and never will cease to be so.
Be glad to have reached the point where you can openly acknowledge that human laws are not the laws of God, and that only divine law governs who you are—the law of love.
Child full of light and purity! Never did a single wound reach your being. Not a single sin can stain the innocence of your heart as a child of God. No mandate of the world can make a dent in who you are. Nothing and nobody can touch that center of your being where God arranged for you to be forever, a reality as out of reach of illusions as the farthest star in the universe.
Anger over not having been or not being arises from an ego pattern—a capricious mechanism whereby a false self obstinately wants to be something it can never be.
It is a childish mechanism reflecting immaturity of consciousness, a capriciousness that can be seen in children. It does not lead to anything holy, beautiful, or perfect because it comes from a lack of love for truth. It can now be left behind. There is no wound that cannot be left behind. There is no mistake that cannot be given to love to correct and cancel its consequences. There is no illusion that I cannot dissolve.
Those situations in which you felt unable to express or act as you wished should not be used as ammunition for a new war of revenge on your past. To do so would be to think, “Now that I am free, and I know myself enough to express myself in the truth of my being, I will do everything I wanted to do but never could before.” That is being stuck in ego patterns, and not the path offered here.
