It is often said that it takes great courage to see the face of God. What is needed is the courage to see past what we think should be and move on to what is. This means seeing the world without negative judgment, even when the false self is saying, "I know a better way." It means seeing past our conditioning, which distorts reality to conform to the positions we take. The true source of our inner and outer conflicts is our failure to understand that we are the Soul. When we realize that God is present in everything, everywhere, and that the Soul is eternally present, the sense of conflict disappears.

Just because someone asks you for a response does not mean that you should give them one, at least immediately when you are not clear or sure or balanced in your response. Patience is a virtue of allowing God to reveal, clarify, and come into manifestation for the highest good of all concerned.

We all know that at times, we feel as far away from the Kingdom of the Heaven as we can possibly be, just because we are unaware. And as strange as it may seem, in comes somebody we love, the spiritual heart opens, and the Kingdom of Heaven is immediately at hand. So how far away from us is it? It's nowhere. All that blocks us is a sense of separation. Not separation. A sense. And we value the sense of separation more than we value the reality that is always present. If we get a feeling that says we're in separation, we value that feeling so strongly that we will leave our family, quit our job, feel people hate us, or become paranoid, over something that is not real. It's not usable or functional. So we have to come back once again and say, "Wait a minute! Just because I don't sense and know the Kingdom of Heaven is active in me, that is not a reason to feel separate and lonely unless I'm choosing to have an exercise in separate/lonely. And if I am, I think I'll find out what that is at the highest rate of efficiency I can, so I'll know it no matter what its disguise looks like."

Q: I'm not experiencing anything during spiritual exercises (s.e.'s). A: Doing s.e.'s is like filling the gas tank of a car. At the gas station, you also check the oil, clean the windshield, put air in the tires, etc. Then you are set to travel. Often, the "travel" will take place during the night -- and you may or may not be aware of this. But the important thing is to keep "filling the tank," to keep doing s.e.'s to bring in the spiritual energy -- even if you don't experience anything during your s.e. time itself.

Q: When I try to let go of my past and forgive, I get stuck in my thoughts about what happened instead. How do I really let go of all that stuff and go on with my life? J-R: Keep focusing on how you're progressing. Instead, we often keep referencing back to the last hurt, pain, anguish, and upset. And guess where we are? Back at that. We can't cure it because it's in the past, and we're already in our present and future, dealing with the past, and we can't do a thing with it. We've got to get it up to here and now, which we can do. Just by addressing it, we bring it present. Then we bring in the acceptance and the forgiveness. In that is the letting go. And then we must forget it and move on by bringing our focus, awareness and attention to right now, to what is before us to do.

There are many people who live the "good life," have successful businesses, great wealth, and all the security this world has to offer -- and what they would like more than all of that is peace of mind. They say, "I'd give anything if my mind would leave me alone so I could gather my strength and feel good inside myself." That peace is your natural state, but if you look out into the world for sensation, you can obscure that peaceful quality within.

Spiritual fulfillment is your destiny. It is your heritage. It's the course of your life that is more than a potential. It is a given. Spiritual fulfillment will take place. However, you may not experience the completion of your spiritual fulfillment in your life. It's something that works on an eternal level. It's about you making the choice, allowing yourself to claim spiritual fulfillment, and to live according to what that is for you.

Remember that God's time, not your time, is always perfect.

I've been under the impression (and I have my experience for it) that the Lord has always been available. And I also have to admit that I wasn't always available to the Lord's availability. When I finally came to that conclusion, it was then a matter of my moving back to the position of being with the Lord. I then realized that the Lord never moved because the Lord didn't really know how to move. He only knew how to be with me all the time. It was a remarkable thing to find out that he knew that more than he knew anything else. Then when I found that the Lord knew it with others, well, it got to be really tremendous inside of me. In fact, my ego trip left real fast. I said, "This Lord knows how to be with everybody all the time, so I don't suppose there are any restrictions, though I had placed restrictions." And whenever I turn to that, there it is. There it is. There it is.

Prosperity is for you -- both the abundance of Spirit and the manifestation on this physical level.
