A Personal Request

[Epsilon5]

I work on remaining constantly mindful of the fact that everything around me is Me - grass, squirrels, air atoms, everything.  Everyone I encounter is Me, but just happens to be wearing a different body than me for the moment.  Everyone I come across is God the Father.  

I work on being mindful of emotions that imply separation (anger, disdain, resentment, dislike, jealousy, etc. etc.) and transform them into love for the other-self.  

I find these things to be quite beautiful! Prior to having read the Law of One material, I had spent much time in ponderment that God at the Highest ("All", in my new vocabulary), must still be God at every scope and scale, that is to say, The Universe, the Galaxies, the Stars, the Planets, the Inhabitants of those planets everywhere from the Humans, to the Foxes, to the Gnats, to the Bacteria, all the way down to the atomic scale, and beyond.

Of course we now understand (to a minimal degree) that it's also We who are at every scope and scale: This is an extremely beautiful thought, to me.

With that said, I do wonder if being harder on myself helped me in some way to put more effort into becoming kinder to others? I think it very well may have.  But at this point it's time to move beyond that.

This resonates with me very strongly. I have always been hard on myself, from my youth, and knew guilt very well. It was only about a year and a half ago that I made the conscious effort to try to learn how to forgive myself (and about two years ago that I learned that forgiving myself was something I might want to do). Once I decided that I wasn't the monster that I thought I was (because are we not each the Creator?), everything became much more pleasant. I found out that once I learned that I was "allowed" to be kind to myself, I found being kind to others much, much more simple.

Enhanced clarity of mind exists in facing any perceived obstacles in my life in knowing that all phenomenon and experience are manifestations within the imagination of God, although in some cases it takes me some time to jolt back to a more centered understanding of the reality being interfaced with, this being true especially in instances of conflict or tension. The language of the Creator is not only via words; sounds, images, any and all sensory data which enters the awareness is informed by the infinite unified improvisational intelligence. There are times when this acknowledgement is not immediately manifest but emerges after reflective contemplation, with things getting placed into greater perspective following the recurring epiphany.

YES!! Thank you so much for your eloquent rendering of that which I have meditated upon for the last three weeks straight. This is extremely beautiful to me. I believe that Ra mentioned something to the effect of being at a semi-meditative state at all times, if it is our desire to continue having that decrease in conflict or tension that allows us to more focusedly attend to that path we have chosen for ourselves.

To serve others in a pure fashion is to serve regardless of whether one is noticed, thanked or approved of. It is to act without the expectation of any reward, and to accept the possibility of suffering for one's actions. It comes from the genuine desire to do good unto others, and it is only through seeking my own nature that I have realized why I desire to do that good.

This resonates with me very strongly. I've known for nearly a decade now that I wanted to choose the Service-to-Others path. In the Book of Mormon (which jives Beautifully with Law of One Teachings), there is a verse which states that "When you are in the service of your fellow-beings, ye are only in the service of your God," which is something that has always resonated within me as a beautiful way of seeing service. But, somewhere in the Knowing of the choice of which path I wanted, there was the lack of knowing WHY I wanted that path.

"Because it's Good," or "Because it's the 'Right' Path," wasn't good enough for me. I, having full freedom of will have the liberty to choose any path laid before me. Why, then, service-to-others? Once I was able to answer that question within myself, suddenly everything became so much more clear, and I found a special Peace I had not known before.
