When we come into the consciousness of who we are spiritually, who we are as God — when we awaken and become conscious of who God is, the one that\u2019s dwelling within us as us — we are loving consciousness.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a sharing John Morton had with a participant in the PTS Master of Spiritual Science program in January 2000.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of our great truths that we espouse over and over in MSIA is \u201cyou are never given anything you cannot handle.\u201d It\u2019s a basic teaching, similar to, \u201cOut of God comes all things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The good part about that is God\u2019s attitude, which is to love it all. Regardless of how you experience it, your attitude is a big key in all of this.\u00a0What\u2019s given from the Spirit is always according to who we are. It\u2019s always in harmony. It\u2019s always in balance.\u00a0That\u2019s a big key. The illusion would say, \u201cNo, it\u2019s not.\u201d The illusion would say, \u201cI\u2019m overwhelmed. This is too much. I can\u2019t handle this.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very important to remember that there\u2019s a tendency, mentally and emotionally, to perceive something as, \u201cI can\u2019t handle it. This is too much. This is beyond me, etc.\u201d What\u2019s interesting is that it then tends to move into what I call a reactive response.\u00a0We then perceive it negatively and in lack. Then, we may reinforce the negative by the way we behave, the way we focus ourselves and respond. That becomes the dis-ease that then has to manifest itself in some way because we are creators.<\/p>\n

We are not just creators.\u00a0We are a particular kind of creator. What is the particular adjective that goes with our type of creator?\u00a0We are responsible creators, even when we behave irresponsibly.<\/p>\n

Do you follow that?\u00a0We have the capacity for freedom. We have the freedom to act as though we\u2019re not responsible. And sometimes the way that looks is, \u201cI can\u2019t do that,\u201d when the truth is, yes, we can. That\u2019s a lie and irresponsible.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s there for us is \u201cHow do I take on the knowing and the strength?\u00a0How do I find the ability to do?\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a convergence that happens. John-Roger talked about this several times in a particular way. He asked, \u201cCould God make a rock so huge he couldn\u2019t lift it?\u201d At some point somebody said, \u201cWell, why would God do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you understand? Why would God create something he couldn\u2019t lift? If you are creating it, why would you do that to yourself?\u00a0In your wisdom you wouldn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re following this and you have an intelligence that comes with being a responsible creator, that\u2019s a form of knowing.\u00a0It\u2019s a knowing of all things. We wouldn\u2019t do something to hurt ourself or incapacitate ourself.\u00a0That\u2019s what comes with understanding who God is as a creator. God does things in ways that are always loving.<\/p>\n

Following up on that, \u201cOut of God comes all things\u201d and \u201cGod loves all Its creation.\u201d That\u2019s very important to keep as a reference when we find our consciousness not loving. This works in a couple of particular ways.<\/p>\n

First, it works in our way of responding. If we find ourself not loving, the reference point is, God is always loving. When we come into the consciousness of who we are spiritually, who we are as God — when we awaken and become conscious of who God is, the one that\u2019s dwelling within us as us — we are loving consciousness.\u00a0So when we are not loving, we have obviously lost track of who I am, as God; we have lost track of who we are spiritually.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like a big flag waving, or a big bell ringing. \u201cWatch out! Wake up.\u201d You know you\u2019re not loving and it\u2019s not a cause to be more \u2018not loving.\u2019 If we look back at our little track record we go, \u201cHmm, I wasn\u2019t loving.\u201d We may become more unloving, and then even more unloving.<\/p>\n

At some point the wisdom of who we are realizes the stupidity of it. Not only does unloving not work, but it\u2019s also not necessary. It creates problematic situations and experiences for us that are difficult. The good news is we are learning from every aspect of creation.<\/p>\n

That is all about taking on a bit of negativity and loving it. If you want to know what graduation is, it\u2019s loving it all. If we had one of those massive buildings with words across the top: \u201cWho were they that came into this building and who gathered here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are those who loved it all and moved on.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how we graduate.<\/p>\n
