What is behind the surface

You can allow the distortions you’re seeing in front of anyone or anything to disappear. A not-good feeling means that you are viewing a distortion. There is no need to react to a distortion when it can be replaced so easily. Have faith in clarity, and clarity is what you have. If clarity is what you have, it’s what you see others having.

What you are is not a body or a personality, or even anyone with any needs. What you are is loved by God forever. As you learn to pay steady attention to what has no value at all to the ego, you experience reflections of this steadiness all around you. Remember that steadiness always shines behind anything that appears chaotic. Trust in what shines, and you are doing your part.

There is a power all of us share, and that’s the power to rely upon. Make sure you stop to see this power as belonging to everyone and everything on their behalf all at once. If you make any exceptions, you turn power into something that seems to be used against someone or something. Then you will fear power as something that can be used against you, and you will attempt to hold back actual power. Actual power, shared by all because all are worthy, is always here, and it is safe to release it to correct anything you see as it is not.

Depend upon what is behind the surface. The surface is always accepted or rejected by ego with no attention paid to what is behind it. All solutions dwell as one piece, or even one peace, behind all surfaces that seem to conflict. Go to what is entirely past all pretense of conflict, and here you are in reality. You can trust reality to clear up any and all misperceptions. You do not have to trust any separate element within illusion to be more helpful than another. It is far more beneficial to you to recognize that helpfulness is shared, and that you can only see this when you look far past any surface ego highlights.

Suffering is a sign that you’re attempting to depend upon a surface, and it’s not working. So give in. Give in to the memory of what you actually are with everyone. You do not have to struggle any longer to uphold and reinforce and even treasure separate identities that conflict. No one ever asked you to uphold a conflict, and you do not have to struggle to do it anymore. Find out what happens when you release out of that ancient posture of attack and defensiveness.

We are here in the place where you find rest. We are happy to show you how rest restores all to what has always been theirs.
