You are always with someone who can give you the same gift you’re giving them. We are not talking about the gift of loving words or actions or things, although you may experience any of these with those you call other. We’re talking about the energetic gift of what you are together. It’s as if you learn to exist in a new territory together with all you call other, and then form follows that. It happens in energy first.
Willingness to become aware brings a degree of awareness. This degree of awareness brings on experience that reinforces the awareness and assists you into further rest and expansion in this awareness. Further experience follows this to reinforce your awareness of and appreciation of what you are together on deeper and deeper levels.
Looking directly at the things ego says it doesn’t like–this is helpful. Expose, expose, expose. This is the theme we would give you: Expose, expose, expose. We will reinforce it for you as you allow it. We cannot underestimate the beautiful and beneficial and loving, shared effect of stopping every time you feel the least disturbance. Truly go into the mind to see what thought was attached to this feeling. What do you believe about someone or something in this moment? This discovery is always freeing, no matter how it feels as you do it.
This thought you find–here is the thorn in your foot. Here is the problem. And now you have an opportunity to turn toward the solution. The solution to the problem ego insists a separate-you has is prior to and beyond the you ego says you are, prior to and beyond any separate piece of what ego says the problem is, of what ego says the desired solution is. It is all prior to and beyond. So as you learn to attune to that which is prior to and beyond, you see what ego calls problems dissolve and disappear. The problem is just the call to look. When you look, the call is no longer needed.
There is a way that everyone who thinks of you can be flooded with joy. You yourself are joy and have never, not even for a moment, been anything else. The same is true of all you call other. No matter what you observe in this moment, no matter what any past seems to tell you, you all are and share joy. Reorient in this direction as often as you can, and you begin to share the joy you are. You begin to see it as the most prominent thing in all you call other. There is no reason to deny or to distract away from what is already here.
There is a way of meeting everyone without a past. Think of yourself gently held, carried, and shown the way at all times. And now think of all you call other in this way. There is no need to interpret them. There is no need to analyze them. There is no need to remember their past and try to make something positive or negative out of it. Here you are, with your beautiful divine siblings. God has never stopped loving that one over there, so God has never stopped loving you. Here you are, in love, together. Everything that either one of you needs to be shown is provided for you right here and now. You are provided for. All are provided for.
Think of everything you think, do, and say benefiting both you and the one you call other. Why not both? Why not have every little thing benefit all? Can you see a world in which this is so? What you are together with that one you call other provides a world in which there is trust everywhere. Every one and every little thing gets to play its part in a joyful unfolding because you allowed it. Because you didn’t find a reason to block the song of love, everyone remembered it. As everyone remembers the song of love, everyone expresses it. This is easy, natural, and here for you all.
We are here with you in this easy flow. We flow together with you.
