Dear Father, please be with me now as I open myself to you. I ask that your Light shine in my life that I may know that which is for the Highest Good. I bring myself into alignment with you and ask that all else fall away. I let go, returning all things to You as they are Yours. As I am Yours. <\/span> Father, I ask that Your will be done in my life. I ask that Your will be done through me in the world. Help me to remember when I forget and to give each day to You. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n -David Whitaker<\/em><\/p>\n This<\/span> article is adapted from \u201cThe Path to Mastership,\u201d by John-Roger, DSS<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n As your will and the Father\u2019s will become one, you enter into that quality of devotion that gives the credit to Spirit. You know that of yourself, you can do nothing. You say, <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFather, here I am. This is your child. Whatever you have for me to do, I will do gladly, because I know I\u2019m going to inherit all things. If I have to inherit the manure pile before I inherit the \ufb02ower garden, so be it. Or if I inherit the \ufb02ower garden and then the manure pile, that\u2019s okay, too. However you see it, Father, I\u2019ll abide by Thy will.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Be very thankful you can grow regardless of any physical, mental, emotional or \ufb01nancial situation. Your devotion to God can transcend all situations and become the constant factor of your life. Then you follow one Light, the Light which is God. It\u2019s been called many names and worshipped in many ways, but everyone is reaching to this one consciousness. There is one mind, the mind of God. There is one consciousness, God consciousness. All else are tributaries of the One. If you can get on a tributary leading back to God, you can follow it back into the mainstream of God\u2019s energy. The Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is in the mainstream. It has been demonstrated over and over again. The Light has been demonstrated beyond a mental or emotional process. When you stop mentalizing and ask from your heart for Spirit\u2019s \u201cLight\u201d to be with you, things around you change. Then you know those things which seemed so locked in and crystallized can be released and altered. It\u2019s a great day when you recognize that the things in your life which seemed inalterable can be lifted.<\/span><\/p>\n When your life is not going too well, you may enter into the area of devotion, saying, \u201cFather, help me. God, save me. Deliver me from my enemies.\u201d You enter into extreme devotion based upon great emotional concern, which would be all right if that devotion were focused toward locating the truth within yourself and sacri\ufb01cing the truths which don\u2019t work for you. Be devoted to faith-fully \ufb01nding new truths and to creating and building on those areas of truth. Then look through your intelligence at what you have learned to see how you stand. By these processes, you make your will useful to you and grow to be very devoted to the freedom of your own expression.<\/span><\/p>\n Devotion may express itself as, <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLord, here I am to help, to be helped, to share and to be one with all. I don\u2019t have to be all things to all people. I\u2019m not even going to try. I\u2019m just going to be me.\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Just to be you can be a great challenge. I\u2019ve said so often and to so many people, \u201cThank God you\u2019re you.\u201d And they look at me and think, \u201cThank God I\u2019m me? But I\u2019m so angry and hurt inside.\u201d That\u2019s not the part I see. That\u2019s the illusionary part which is always changing. You\u2019ll sacri\ufb01ce it later when you realize truth isn\u2019t going to reach into those areas. You\u2019ll sacri\ufb01ce it when you get the vision of a greater reality.<\/span><\/p>\n Your devotion keeps you moving forward. All you have to do, believe it or not, is keep yourself centered toward the Light consciousness. It\u2019s easy. Every day in every way, turn toward the Light. Ask for the Light in the morning when you get up, when you get to the car, when you get to the gas station, before you get on the freeway, when you park your car, and on the way into work. You\u2019ll enhance your realization of Living In God\u2019s Holy Thoughts. That\u2019s the Light\u2014all the time. The more you attune to it, the more your inner Light grows until one day you say, \u201cI am the Light,\u201d and it\u2019s not a lie. You say it because it is so. Yet something inside of you will be so humble that you may keep this fact to yourself. But when someone asks, you must truthfully acknowledge that you are the Light. Yet as you hear it, you say, \u201cYes, that is the truth, but you are also the Light. Everyone is.\u201d The Light holds you to the truth, and that becomes a great joy.<\/span><\/p>\n – John-Roger<\/p>\n We invite you to join us for The Royal Road – The Path to Mastership<\/em>, a NEW Peace Awareness Training.
