“Let\u2019s consider what you are called to do is what love would do. And what the truth in your heart would do. That\u2019s all you really need to know.<\/em>” – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article and blessing come from a sharing session John Morton had in April 2022\u00a0 with\u00a0the undergraduate classes at Peace Theological Seminary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider there are times in perfect harmony, and what is the very best to do is nothing. It\u2019s something like be patient. It\u2019s not now. If we were asking for how it would work, we would say in perfect timing, in perfect ways.<\/p>\n

Then understanding how that works, it would\u00a0not be\u00a0now because it\u2019s in motion. The moment will be perfect when it is time. The way is prepared. So, it\u2019s set up that we do it in that way.<\/p>\n

It often reveals that we have the patience to wait. We have the patience to trust. That we wouldn\u2019t have the impulse, \u201cI have to do something. I\u2019m feeling the anxiety. I\u2019m feeling the urgency. I have to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, you don\u2019t have to do anything. What\u2019s clear to do right now? \u201cNothing, but I have to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the mind raving. If we understand, it would be to hold or wait with openness. Like I\u2019m available to do anything. When something is really important, like the love of a child, that\u2019s powerful. It\u2019s like what would God do for Its child? Anything. Everything. It\u2019s all available in the love.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be anything and everything because there are things that would not be permitted in the love of God. They are not allowed. We are all learning that. Yes. How does that work?<\/p>\n

It works in ways where you do everything. You put yourself all in. All your body, all your mind, everything is in. Then it\u2019s also about it\u2019s not the time. I\u2019m waiting. I\u2019m holding in my trust.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s something to check in there. What\u2019s true? Beyond your truth. What\u2019s true in your heart, even if your mind is raving with all kinds of ideas \u2013 \u201cIt could be this. What about this?\u201d That\u2019s the mind.<\/p>\n

With the truth that\u2019s in your heart, it can be clear. It can also be calm, so it doesn\u2019t need to yell and scream. This truth can also be the truth right now is to hold, wait. Now is not the time. It\u2019s not clear. That\u2019s what\u2019s clear.<\/p>\n

Some people are confused by that. If it\u2019s not clear what to do, how\u2019s that clear? It\u2019s clear that it\u2019s unclear to do something. That\u2019s what\u2019s clear. It\u2019s not clear to do something. That\u2019s what\u2019s clear. That\u2019s how it\u2019s being revealed to you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not telling you or reading what it is specifically for you. You can consider what you can see from your point of view. You can see for yourself. It\u2019s really important that you see what\u2019s true for you as your direct experience. You see it. You know it.<\/p>\n

It can shift in a moment. Like in a singular moment you are up, and you are fully on. In the prior moment you were fully waiting, holding. How can it change like that? I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 How does darkness go to the light? How does day go to the night and change? Well, there\u2019s a transition there maybe. Yet maybe it\u2019s like lightning. It\u2019s instantaneous.<\/p>\n

What I encourage you to do is be aware of what\u2019s true for yourself. It\u2019s a heartfelt response. What is God revealing to you?<\/p>\n

It may be very personal, whatever your situation is. I don\u2019t need to know all the details and all the circumstances. Let\u2019s consider what you are called to do is what love would do. And what the truth in your heart would do. That\u2019s all you really need to know.<\/p>\n

There can be other things. One of them practically in the world is what we call \u201cCheck it out.\u201d So, if you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, then you find out. You seek understanding, that you would understand what\u2019s there for you to do. Some of that can be, \u201cIt\u2019s not for me to do. It\u2019s being prepared in a way that doesn\u2019t involve me.\u201d That can happen.<\/p>\n

So, things can be done for you that don\u2019t really involve you personally. The blessing can be delivered, and it doesn\u2019t involve you. It can just be done.<\/p>\n

You may say, \u201cWell, I want to do the blessing. I want to protect my loved ones. I want to do what\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, but look for what would serve the situation. What would be for the highest good? And really hold for that to come to you in a clear awareness. Then trust that God is in direct communication with you. And it can be something like, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to do right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ha Ha! I laugh because that\u2019s where my impatience is. You may say, \u201cI want to know it now!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not being revealed right now because with what you have going on, you\u2019d mess it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would not!\u201d<\/p>\n

See? You\u2019re already impulsive. You\u2019re already reactive. We\u2019re not going to give it to you because we\u2019re not going to tempt your reactivity. You\u2019re being spared. You\u2019re being protected.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, because I have a mind that could react and be upset if I see it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Right, so your mind doesn\u2019t see it. But it actually isn\u2019t a mind. It\u2019s awareness. It\u2019s a kind of awareness that would keep your mind clear. What kind of mind is like that? It\u2019s called God consciousness. That\u2019s not a mind. That\u2019s awareness. That\u2019s knowing. It transcends the mind.<\/p>\n

The mind can be used. You have one, so you might as well use it to focus. You can use the mind to have determination. You\u2019ve got the image. You have the vision. Then go for it. What is that?<\/p>\n

The best way I know how to tell you is to love it all. Do everything in your power so your life is one of living love and greater good.<\/p>\n

God bless you.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Forgiveness and Greater Blessing<\/u><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a moment for anything anybody has that would be open to greater blessing. That is the movement. We are a movement that goes towards higher consciousness, higher good. Then let yourself be an instrument of the divine. It\u2019s something like Father, Mother, God I accept. I accept what is being brought into my consciousness as direction, as knowing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also allowing myself to be in the clearing. I ask for the clearing. To release what is no longer necessary, what is no longer serving my life. Only that which is for the highest good is upon me, is coming into my awareness. I release anything like negative judgment, any disturbances that come through fear, doubt, worry.<\/p>\n

I place forgiveness upon all of my past actions. I place it upon others. Both one and the same. Forgiveness is for everyone and everything. It\u2019s all in forgiveness. That means I bless it. I release it from any form of restriction, any bondage.<\/p>\n

So we are in freedom and liberation. I find joy is in my way of being. Wherever I look, I find peace everlasting.<\/p>\n
