Punishment is not coming at you. Abundance is not coming at you, but it is here, and it is already yours. Ego’s defenses are all about a separate something approaching, encroaching upon, and affecting a separate you. This is a good moment to notice that you are not separate. You cannot be encroached upon by anything because there is nothing separate from you. Everything that is, everything that benefits all–it is already here. It is shareable because it is already shared. All have access to what they already are, what they already have.
You can deal with people or be gifted by beings. The ego tells you that you have to contend with people. The ego tells you that you need defenses around people. You need ways of handling them. You need to hold them at a distance to manipulate or handle them as a separate self. But you are being, and being is joined. Everyone is already as close to you as they will ever get. There is no layer of safe space between you and another. You are joined with that other already, and nothing in time can undo that joining. So just think of things as they actually are, and then allow all the information you need to come to you from the place where you are joined.
You can seem to give to those you call other from fear, and it seems you lose or take on risk in the giving. Or you can notice what is already here within them. It is better to say no while being aware of fear than it is to say yes when you are pushing past the seeming presence of fear. Your yes will come when resistance is allowed to melt away. It becomes very awkward and unnatural to say yes when you are aware of all ego’s defenses set in place to protect your separate self. Better to allow these defenses to fade as illusions will, and then the action you take will be natural and obvious.
If you believe you are in a body, then the body is your means for experiencing pleasure and pain. Pleasure and pain are ego’s two offerings to you. They are the same thing. You cannot have one without the other. It’s like trying to have one side of a coin, but not the other. Joy and peace are Spirit’s eternal offerings to you, and they do not oppose as pleasure and pain do. Spirit has a use for the body, and it’s not death. Spirit just uses the body gently for a while to communicate the love all of you are, and then the body is set down when it is no longer needed. You, having never been a body, are still here. You perceived and experienced a body temporarily, but you remain as you are eternally.
Everything you think, say, and do is always coming either from Spirit or from ego. Everything you perceive others doing and saying is also always coming from Spirit or from ego. What you see and experience is always up to you. Open up to experiencing all you call other as they truly are, and you receive reminders that help you remember and experience who you truly are. Hold nothing back from the ones you call other, and you hold nothing back from yourself.
We rest with you whenever you come to rest. There is power in this rest, and you can experience it today.
