Maybe you watch a colleague at work make an error and think,

It would be intelligent to avoid expressing from feelings of lack. Silence might be a better choice. In the silence, perhaps you can come to a true understanding of your need for love. You don't have to express that need in anger, frustration, or impatience. You can express your need without accusing another of failing you, without judging someone else. If you learn to do that, you can avoid the as-you-sow-so-shall-you-reap syndrome, the law of cause and effect.

You are in God's hands.

Charity's very form is that of giving, and it doesn't ask anything in return. God has never approached you and said, "Give me that." But God laid out examples and guidelines that we call disciplines - the disciplines that bring you into greater strength and set you free.

You are born with freedom of choice. Particularly for people who live in societies where abundance and freedom are more accessible, choice is even more apparent. Imagine that you not only have the choice but even have the power to transmute a negative condition into one of positivity, sort of like an attitude-alchemist. I remember a story a friend told me about when he helped push a car out of a rut in the mud, in driving rain, yelling directions to the person driving. The wheel rotated, spurting mud all over his body, face, hair - everything. The car went nowhere, and he got totally soaked by the mud. He could have kicked and screamed, making the rain, the mud, the tire, and even the driver wrong. And he still would have been caked with mud. Instead, he looked at his reflection in a puddle, saw an "oozing monster" in himself, and broke up laughing, carrying on like a laughing idiot in the rain. It didn't get the tire changed, but it sure was fun. He knew he'd eventually get the tire changed. He knew it would eventually stop raining. How did he know? Perhaps it's called common sense, or "faithing." Putting energy into a positive focus that may be unseen at the moment and then moving your body toward it, is what I call faithing. It's a way of accepting your opportunity.

The reality is that people do not go into Soul unless they have chosen it and attained it as a state of consciousness. There's also grace because you choose. And, again, the choosing is often a form of testing. The testing isn't always fun or easy. It can take everything you have. There are moments when it really is, "I had to completely give myself over. I had to surrender in every way. Otherwise, I would have caved in or chosen something other than Soul Transcendence."

Ego is of this physical, material world. Ego is what gets us up in the morning and helps us accomplish in this world. In that respect, it is a blessing. Ego is also an individual process. Although it is a useful tool in its positive aspect, in its negative aspect, ego creates separation. The Soul is of Spirit and the divine. The Soul knows its God source and knows that it is created out of divine substance, as are all other Souls. And so it experiences oneness.

It's best not to judge; you hold yourself back if you say, "Oh, look at those deadbeats; they're no good." You can hold the Light for them, educate them if they are open to it, and let them see the reality of their action. You can show them that they can go inside and get their spiritual fulfillment without taking a drug. You place the Light with them in loving neutrality. Someday, when they weaken for just a moment and say, "Oh God, I need help," the Light will flood them. They will realize their spiritual promise and their spiritual heritage as children of Light.

If you work with people by loving and assisting them without interfering, you are becoming a Light worker in action.

When you learn the techniques of expanding your consciousness (and recording your dreams is an important one), you can be aware of all levels of consciousness at the same time, with an awareness that is as real as the awareness you have of the physical right now. This multidimensional awareness comes with a realization and a knowing and a being; it does not come from thinking or mentalizing about this material.
