Craig Cumming's Blog – November 2008 Archive (7)

I will abandon all grasping, yearning and attachment,

and send my consciousness into the space of newborn awareness;

In so doing I will have greater life. In this place is the rebirth of will.

When I am liberated from my separate self,

I am no longer involved in the measurement of life,

but in the living of it. My prayers are without distraction.

My whole silence is full of prayer. My whole life becomes a prayer.

At the center of the universe is a loving heart… Continue

Acceptance



I am no longer the personal self

Who was separate and alone.

I am my Christ Self.

I dwell in unity.

My identity is certain.

This is the truth.

I am not less than I once was, but more.

Where once I was empty, I am now full.

Where once I dwelt in darkness

I now dwell in the light.

Where once I had forgotten

Now I remember

Who I am.

Now I go forth

To live as who I Am within the world

To make cause and… Continue

Fogiveness/Joining



Joining rests on forgiveness. This you had heard before without understanding what it is you would forgive. You must forgive reality for being what it is. Reality, the truly real, is relationship. You must forgive God for creating a world in which you cannot be alone. You must forgive God for creating a shared reality before you can understand it is the only one you would want to have. You have to forgive this reality for being different than you have always… Continue

“Special” Relationships – Jeshua

Much more is demanded of those you love than of any other brothers and sisters. The ‘more’ that is required is all to feed your idea of your own specialness. You look for constant verification that this one you love loves you in return, and if this attention is not… Continue

True Relationship



5.11 “You do not yet believe nor understand that the urges that you feel are real, and neither good nor bad. Your feelings in truth come from love, your response to them is what is guided by fear. Even feelings of destruction and violence come from love. You are not bad, and you have no feelings that can be labelled so. Yet you are misguided concerning what your feelings mean and how they would bring love to you and you to love.



5.12 It is in… Continue

Your ideas of love



“ Each one of you has held an ideal of what the perfect mate would mean, an ideal that changed over time. Those most bound by the ego might think of stature and of wealth, of physical beauty and the trappings of good upbringing. Those most insecure will believe in a partner who would shower him or her with praise and gifts, with attention never wavering. Another who prizes independence seeks a partner in good health, not too demanding, a companion and a lover who… Continue

Specialness



“What harm is there in specialness? Only all the harm you see within the world.”



We have talked much now of your special love for others, but what of the specialness you desire for yourself? Do you not see how intricately linked these two desires are? The desire to give and receive specialness is the driving desire of your life, and the world you see but reflects this desire. Love’s opposite would not exist but for your invitation of it. All hate, guilt, shame,… Continue
