"When
you are loving and unafraid, you can forgive. You
can forgive others, and you can forgive yourself.
You begin to see with the proper perspective. Guilt
and anger are reflections of the same fear. Guilt
is a subtle anger directed inward. Forgiveness dissolves
guilt and anger. They are unnecessary, damaging emotions.
Forgive. This is an act of love."
"Pride
can get in the way of forgiving. Pride is one manifestation
of ego. Ego is the transient, false self. You are
not your body. You are not your brain. You are not
your ego. You are greater than all of these. Your
ego's pride, arrogance, defensiveness, and fear are
worse than useless. The ego separates you from wisdom,
joy and God. You must transcend your ego and find
your true Self. The true Self is the permanent, deepest
part of you. It is wise, loving, safe, and joyful."
"Intellect
is important in the three-dimensional world, but intuition
is more important."
"You
have reversed reality and illusion. Reality is the
recognition of your immortality, divinity, and timelessness.
Illusion is your transient three-dimensional world.
This reversal is damaging to you. You yearn for the
illusion of security instead of the security of wisdom
and love. You yearn to be accepted when, in reality,
you can never be rejected. Ego creates illusion and
hides truth. Ego must be dissolved, then truth can
be seen."
"Therapy
can be done to the self. Understanding is therapy.
Love is the ultimate therapy.
Therapists,
teachers, and gurus can help, but only for a limited
time. The direction is inward, and sooner or later
the inward path must be trod alone. Although in reality
you are never alone."
"Measure
time, if you must, in lessons learned, not in minutes
or hours or years. You can cure yourself in five minutes
if you come to the proper understanding. Or in fifty
years. It is all the same thing."
"The
past must be remembered and then forgotten. Let it
go. This is true for childhood traumas and past-life
traumas. But this is also true for attitudes, misconceptions,
belief systems drummed into you, for all old thoughts.
Indeed, for all thoughts. How can you see freshly
and clearly with all those thoughts? What if you needed
to learn something new? With a fresh perspective?"
"Thoughts
create the illusion of separateness and difference.
Ego perpetuates this illusion, and this illusion creates
fear, anxiety, and tremendous grief. Fear, anxiety,
and grief in turn create anger and violence. How can
peace exist in the world when these chaotic emotions
predominate? Just unravel. Go back to the source of
the problem. You are back to thoughts, old thoughts.
Stop thinking! Instead, use your intuitive wisdom
to experience love again. Meditate. See that everything
is interconnected and interdependent. See the unity,
not the differences. See your true Self. See God."
"Meditation
and visualization will help you stop thinking, and
will help you begin the journey back. Healing will
occur. You will begin to use your unused mind. You
will see. You will understand. And you will grow wise.
Then there will be peace."
