I Greet You in the Oneness of All That Is!

Now, more than ever, these times encourage us to access the information, guidance, and direction found in our dreams. With the world condition as it is in the wake of September 11th, our dreams have become so much more important. Many in the world today understand that the media may not be giving us the whole truth. If so, where do we go to find the Truth? The answer is, as usual, "go within."

Monitoring our dreams is one very effective way of "going within." The advantage is that dreams come to us directly from the Higher Self, that part of us that is always connected to our Source. As long as we look at our Visions with our own desire for Truth, we can sit back and unearth the jewels found therein.

During the last couple of weeks, my Dreams have presented very important information regarding imminent paradigm shifts. I will discuss one of the shifts and leave the others for another day. The change is occurring in the belief paradigm that says, "I must be punished and suffer for having done something wrong."

The Developed Belief Paradigm

The above-mentioned belief paradigm, "I must be punished and suffer for having done something wrong," did not arise of itself. It was attached to other paradigms that came before it.

The forerunner of the above paradigm was the paradigm that said, "I believe I can do something morally wrong." Once we accepted that belief, we then attached ourselves to three very damaging Hu-man conditions, judgment, guilt, and shame. The progression evolves in the following manner:

1. I believe I can do something wrong,
   
2. I judge myself and declare that I have done something wrong,
   
3. I feel guilty about the wrong I have done,
   
4. I must hang my head in shame for the wrong I have done.

Does that sound familiar? All of us have proceeded along those lines. And we become very creative in our judgment of others as well. We are quick to judge another and condemn that person for a perceived wrong. In the final analysis, all judgment is self-judgment. That is why we are familiar with the Universal Law that says, "Judge not, or that judgment comes back upon the one who judges." In other words, in the act of condemning another, the person has condemned himself.

Once we accept the belief paradigm, "I believe I can do something morally wrong," then we Hu-mans set about to create an elaborate system of ways that we can do something morally wrong. Just a few of these are lying, cheating, assaulting, killing, and stealing. As you know, there are many others. This belief paradigm did not originate with us when we Knew ourselves as Source and only Source. As we chose to take on form, we descended into denser vibrations until the time that we encased ourselves in physical form so that we could better experience the physical plane. With Source, there is no moral right or wrong. With Source, Everything Just Is.

The Father of Belief Paradigms

All erroneous belief paradigms grew from the original that said, "I Am separate from my Source." This belief in separation resulted from our being more and more attached to our physical form. As we grew more attached to the physical form, the ego took on a more significant role. As a result we believed that we were separate. We believed that we were going it alone. It was every man for himself. I am not Source. The Source is somewhere up there, and I am down here. The belief paradigm in separation created open season for many other erroneous belief paradigms. Since we believed that we were man only and not Source, we took on the belief that we could do something morally wrong, that we could offend Source in some way.

Progression of Belief Paradigms

The progression of the belief paradigms went something like the following:

1. "I Am not Source. I Am separate from Source."
   
2. "I believe I can offend Source and do something morally wrong."
   
3. "I can judge myself and recognize that I have done something wrong."
   
4. "I feel guilty for the wrong I have done."
   
5. "I must feel ashamed for the wrong."
   
6. "I must be punished and suffer to expiate the guilt for the wrong I have done."
   

I saw a man dressed in a white garment hanging on a cross. He came down from the cross. He held a sad and solemn look on his face. When asked how long he had been in prison, he answered, "Eighteen months." He had completed his stay in prison. The final part of his punishment sentenced him to 24 strokes of a whip. The man with the whip was very mean. He began to whip the convicted man. Halfway through the whipping, the convict stopped the punishment by knocking out the man who had whipped him. I could see the sufferer bleeding from the scars on his back. The convict then presented himself to a Master Healer who applied a poultice of green herbs to his back. The Master acknowledged that the sufferer already knew that the green poultice would heal him. The healing took effect immediately, and the poultice left little reminder of the beating the man had received.

The question of fear arises each time that we remember the horrifying experience of September 11, 2001. Fear comes when we face the unknown. When will the next strike occur? Will I or those that I love be affected? Will my personal belongings or resources burn in the flames?

When fear grips our hearts, how do we respond? We can respond with anger, hatred, and revenge. We can respond with sadness, compassion, and love. Do we look to attribute blame, or do we look to attribute cause?

War now rages in the Middle East. Who are the enemies at war? Are the opposing forces fighting individuals, belief systems, or political structures? No matter who the proclaimed enemies are, Hu-mans have chosen to fight Hu-mans. All wars carry the same, essential signature.

Hu-mans fight whenever ego in the form of unbridled self-interest holds sway over the Hu-man Spirit. Unchecked ego soon translates into hatred and violence. These energies lie in the center of the human heart, not in some nondescript outside force.

Those who seek retaliation through more violence and bloodshed merely perpetrate the next act of terrorism. They have guaranteed the next attack upon the opposing force.

To help a planet again torn by strife, we look into the depths of our own hearts. We understand that we contribute to the violence whenever we transmit a thought of anger, hatred, or revenge. Each of us who has ever chosen to send a negative thought or intent must bear the responsibility for what we have created. When Hu-mans fight Hu-mans, it is the heart that is not at Peace with itself. It is the heart that is at war.

It is time for us to find the love in our hearts even in the face of violent devastation. It is time for us to stand and take responsibility for what issues forth from our own selves. It is only after we have swept clean our own house, that we can share that purity with others who would choose to receive it.

Will the world continue to choose war over peace? If the world chooses to teach Peace, from whom will it come? It will come from the heart who has found inner Peace and is, therefore, free to shine the unbridled Light of its own Love.

Continue to walk in the Light of your own Love!
