Ask God to join you, or you join God.\u00a0 Whichever and however that works.<\/p>\n<p>I am reminded in our teachings that if you are wondering whose move it is between you and God \u2013 it\u2019s your move.\u00a0 It is always in the now.\u00a0 We can do that. In your own presence, in your life, you can live in peace.\u00a0 You can uphold that as the living expression of who you are.\u00a0 You come in peace.\u00a0 You go in peace.\u00a0 You make peace, and you bring peace.<\/p>\n<p>How much of that has to be joined so we are doing it together in cooperation, such that it is placed upon the planet?\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the gifts of the imagination \u2013 to bring it in without limitation.\u00a0 The power in the imagination does not have any limitation other than what you can imagine!\u00a0 So, imagine the very best you could imagine.\u00a0 Then keep it open.\u00a0 Allow God to show you what that would be with the intention for the highest good.<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger made a very powerful statement in his life when he declared, \u201cI won\u2019t live in a world without love.\u201d\u00a0 What I see with that is we were shown what that is and what it would require.\u00a0 John-Roger went about demonstrating it in his life.\u00a0 It became something of a practice.\u00a0 What do I do when I falter, transgress, withdraw, contract, or violate?\u00a0 What do I do when I do what humans do?\u00a0 Get up.\u00a0 Restore the peace.\u00a0 Choose the peace.\u00a0 Choose the love.\u00a0 Be the love.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever that is, it is in your hands.\u00a0 It\u2019s in your touch.\u00a0 We can reach out with this, such that it becomes something where we are willing to get involved in the world to make peace, to demonstrate living love.\u00a0 That\u2019s the kind of world I want to live in.\u00a0 If I won\u2019t live in a world without love and peace, then let\u2019s also put some joy, fun, beauty, and harmony in there.\u00a0 There is lots more and it\u2019s all good.\u00a0 The intention would bring it to the world in its highest nature.\u00a0 Is it a world or a universe?\u00a0 Consider it is of the highest nature, not beholding to my knowing or experience.\u00a0 I am calling out what is the highest there is, and I\u2019m willing to move to that.<\/p>\n<p>I consider that there is a practical reason we are in the world.\u00a0 It is about our willingness to live in the truth, be open to what that is, and to let go of our limiting beliefs.\u00a0 It is also about calling out what is true for you in your life.<\/p>\n<p>We all want to be surrounded by loving.\u00a0 We also want to be a source of loving.\u00a0 That is not something that\u2019s boring.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that we have to be a doormat everybody steps on in order to do what they want.\u00a0 That might demonstrate our level of loving for a moment, that we make the offering to give what is needed.\u00a0 I see that in our salvation, the savior within as a consciousness of the anointing.<\/p>\n<p>Do we proselytize, convert, or anything like that?\u00a0\u00a0 I look at it that we do give testimony.\u00a0 I could tell you of my experience, and I would want to do that openly.\u00a0 My view is that we are converted from within.\u00a0 We are already converted, already in salvation.\u00a0 It is done.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s just a matter that we engage with it, so it completes with the circumstances of our life.<\/p>\n<p>That becomes a progression ever higher.\u00a0 That would be one way to describe the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.\u00a0 It is a progression ever higher.\u00a0 Can it go to the highest, so we have this experience called, \u201cOneness with God?\u201d\u00a0 As we come into whatever that oneness is, it becomes something that transcends what is in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Our kingdom is not \u201cout here\u201d or in conquering or dominating people or a land or even within a family.\u00a0 I look at it as having the opportunity to bring in the consciousness that is the\u00a0beloved one.\u00a0 Then we find out we are all the\u00a0beloved one.\u00a0 We are all begotten.\u00a0 That\u2019s the awakening.\u00a0 That is the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>In MSIA, we have what we call \u201cstaff values.\u201d\u00a0 They are not secret.\u00a0 They are practical.\u00a0 The first one is to be loving.\u00a0 The second is to trust.\u00a0 I see the first three letters in \u201ctrust\u201d as giving us a hint.\u00a0 It means we are on to the truth, and we\u2019re willing to live in the truth.\u00a0 That allows us to be in keeping with one another.\u00a0 It works together as a oneness.\u00a0 We can look together to see what is true.\u00a0 Not always does that appear as something agreeable.\u00a0 It just can be how it appears in this world.\u00a0 There are shades depending on the angle of your looking.<\/p>\n<p>Another value is togetherness.\u00a0 \u201cWhere two or more are gathered\u2026.\u201d\u00a0 We are in that.\u00a0 We call out what is sacred and holy. That is an intention to gather together in what is holy and sacred.\u00a0 It is independent of anyone\u2019s control.\u00a0 It is not necessary that we have an intercessory other than Spirit.\u00a0 That is the power to bring this forward when we can handle it and when we choose to handle it.\u00a0 It is in respect.\u00a0 Often it stands aside as we detour, go astray, move into distraction or opposition.\u00a0 We have a consciousness that will hold and wait with the greatest of patience.\u00a0 Then, when we come, it\u2019s like the returning of the\u00a0prodigal\u00a0son or\u00a0daughter.\u00a0 There is a celebration. Why wait, holding for some perfect moment?\u00a0 Let\u2019s celebrate now.<\/p>\n<p>Clear communication is another value.\u00a0 One of our teachings is that Spirit is the clearest state possible, the clearest dimension and the clearest way.\u00a0 When we are in clear communication we are in communion.\u00a0 We can look together to what we see.\u00a0 There is often an opportunity to go higher.\u00a0 If we are all in agreement, there is something we can move into as cooperation.\u00a0 We are doing something for the betterment of all.\u00a0 The practicality is sometimes it is your turn to say, \u201cLet me serve you.\u00a0 Let me do that for you.\u201d\u00a0 We do that with one another.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus pointed out that the greatest amongst us is the greatest servant.\u00a0 The consciousness that understands that reality is who is going to follow.\u00a0 The way is prepared.\u00a0 If Jesus\u2019s consciousness is leaving, it is to go to prepare a place that has been unavailable to you because you were not prepared.\u00a0 Now, the teachings are here that would prepare all of us to be in that place of highest residence.\u00a0 They call it the Soul.\u00a0 They call it God consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage us to relax wanting to define it or draw pictures of it.\u00a0 If we see it and know it, it can come out as a beautiful expression like dancing or singing.\u00a0 A smile is\u00a0a way that we can show caring when it is not provoked or even justified.\u00a0 We just care because we care in knowing our oneness with God.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><u>Blessing of Service for the Highest Good<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Father-Mother-God, we ask that You come present with<br \/>\neach one of us here.<br \/>\nYou know our heart.<br \/>\nYou know what is best for us.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ve heard it all.
