The healing effect of your shared Self

Whatever you have formed an attachment to–you’re being guided gently through letting it go. You can feel attachment through emotional or physical pain. It’s just attachment, and you are capable of finding the thoughts to which you are attached. As you learn to respond appropriately to pain of any kind, there is always a gentle and powerful presence with you and all, guiding steadily and helping wherever allowed. As you sink deeper into allowing, you see the reflection of that all around you.

The others in your life help you find where you are attached to perceptual burdens. Without them, you would not feel so clearly where you are attached to something that seems separate from you. Think of that. You are actually whole and joined with everything. It is only when you perceive separation and then become attached to a surface that you feel pain of any kind. When you retrace your route back to the beginning–back to the wholeness that you never left–then there is no gap between you and whatever you seem to look upon or think about. In your actual wholeness, there is no pain.

You’re adjusting to an updated operating system. When you drop out of a layer of suffering, it can feel disconcerting because you have interpreted suffering as both your stability and your identity. It is instructive to see how you did want suffering, and how you do still seem to want any layers of suffering to which you are still attached. But now you are in the middle of this. Now you can see your way out. Now it is abundantly clear that struggling to hold onto suffering is moving backwards. Now you have in sight the true stability that you have always shared with all. And it can be relied upon.

The extent to which you dislike, push against, or blame someone or something is the extent to which you push against the healing effect of your shared Self. This discomfort of thrashing about, believing another self is something other than what you are and always have been–this is pain. Tell yourself this: Behind this border of pain I am one with something. I can reach out to it in wholeness and rest with it.

In this way you reclaim all the pieces of your Self you thought you rejected. The pain just draws an imaginary line through something that is already whole and will be forever. Once you can see that pain is meaningless, it has no need to show up for you to remind you of what you have forgotten. Pain has never kept you or anyone safe. This is what you finally see.

The extent to which resistance seems to give way in those you call other is the extent to which it is giving way in you. Everyone and everything is a mirror, and their appearances are very easily transformable. You have no need to fear this easy change of appearance because it only serves what is joined and good within you all. Appearance communicates, and appearance is just a simple tool Spirit can use. Ego will deliver plenty of thoughts about appearances and their meaning, but Spirit simply uses appearance gently and effectively.

Everything is here to be used by what you Are to show everyone how loved, whole, and safe they are. All is well, and our wholeness has never been damaged.
