You can drop all the illusions, images and facades. You can go inside and find what is real within you. You can discover God dwelling within. As you move to that awareness, you experience the grace of God in your life.

Jesus, through his death and resurrection, changed the karma of the planet. Before Jesus' time, the law of the planet was "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" - also known as the Law of Moses. Through the Christ action, human beings came under grace, and salvation was won for all of us at that time.

Do not attempt to keep up with anyone. Don't even attempt to keep up with yourself because your Self is going nowhere. It's present. Here it is. There is no right to be earned here. It is given to us by grace. Therein lies the difference.

Pray, "Lord, give me the strength." You will come to realize that, before you even ask, the strength is already there. When you look back on the difficulties you've had in life, remember the days you thought you couldn't make it or felt you couldn't get through it all -- yet you did.

There is a way to move from expressions of the law to an expression of grace, and that is to throw away your swords of righteousness. That means throwing away your judgments and your sense that you know what is best for other people. It means allowing others (and yourself) to make mistakes in this world and loving them (and yourself) anyway.

At times, we may be beguiled by the illusions of the body, mind, and emotions. Even so, the spiritual promise, given to us through the grace of Jesus Christ, is that we can lift through the obstacles and tests of this world and realize that we are divine.

When you express loving towards one another, this holds you more in the consciousness of grace.

And so all we really can do is breathe in and breathe out and let the Divine essence move forward to us. It's called grace. Listen long enough for this breath of Divine guidance to breathe through you.

What is the work that you're here to do? The most immediate thing in front of you. Called what? Called two choices. Either live under the law of karma or live under God's grace of loving. You can have your choice. And the grace of God did not say for one minute that you won't have any pain. It just said you are going to live in the Spirit while you walk through this world.

The Spirit lets people who want to do things themselves have experiences with whatever serves learning and growth. The Spirit is independent of any of us and yet entirely integrated with our true nature. It's a divine presence that's always present and available, but it's like the perfect gentleman or the perfect lady. It doesn't come fully present unless it's invited. It kind of stands back and has this perfect grace through knowing eventually everyone chooses back to the Spirit.
