Ego offers a mechanism for what it calls understanding. Ego offers you pieces to put together, and judgments about each one of these pieces. Once the ego has put together a puzzle out of separate parts and has given the puzzle meaning, then it declares you fit for action and speech. When you speak and act from the basis of any understanding the ego gives you, you won't feel good. This is something you can notice. https://lovesbeginning.com/2022/09/26/shared-with-everything/

When it seems that someone else’s speaking causes disturbance in you, this is an illusion. That one over there is a surface speaking to you to reveal your inner disturbance 💚

Thanks to Jason for requesting this message. Anyone who wants a message can request one here: https://lovesbeginning.com/receive-a-... Nothing causes anything else. There is no actual separate cause and effect. Thus, there is no blame. But as a kind solution to the illusion you have made, there is a kind cause and effect to perceive. When the cause and effect you perceive seems harsh, this is the fantasy you have made from thought. Spirit supplies its loving thought as cause, and then you experience the loving effect. It is very simple. When the cause of your experience is ego-thought, it feels harsh. When the cause of your experience is Spirit thought, you feel supported and loved. The resource you choose as cause is always up to you, and this becomes more obvious as you practice. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/12/21/a-message-for-jason-sharing-safety/ Photo by NEOM on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/a-person-swimming-through-a-narrow-underwater-cave-r5xgKi-lZQg?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash

You have become accustomed to believing that the thoughts from ego give you some semblance of safety. They seem to give you a handhold, a definition, a means of orientation. We are here to show you that reliance on what is Real provides all that you need and is your orientation. https://lovesbeginning.com/2022/10/04/now-shines-through/

Your hatred of or pushing against anyone who seems to be here on Earth is your hatred of and pushing against the nonphysical helpers who are here to assist you. Essentially, it is your hatred of yourself and God. You can’t hate yourself without hating God, because you and God are inextricably joined forever. “Knowing better” than someone is hatred. Being able to analyze someone or their motives is hatred. Breaking down a whole into separate parts that never existed–hatred. Hatred seems to oppose the wholeness of us, but that is all it can do. It can only seem to oppose 💚

Defenses are worthless, but ego sends thoughts about their value 💚

Unconditional love is what you Are and what all others Are always. If you see anything else in the way, it’s just blocking what is actually here. Whatever is blocking what is actually here always, you made it up. You see in your world what you made up. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/10/11/when-invited/

Space-time is a filter. Just like a filter on Instagram, the filter of space-time alters what you see. You recognize that filters are not real, and you also have the opportunity to recognize that the filter of space-time is not real. The filter of space-time distorts the simplicity of Reality, unperceived from an outer because it encompasses all, and presents it as a complexity perceived from a different point of complexity. https://lovesbeginning.com/2022/09/30/filters-are-not-real/

Chapter 6: The Lessons of Love V. The Lessons of the Holy Spirit "God’s extending outward, though not His completeness, is blocked when the Sonship does not communicate with Him as one." 💚

When you take a thought about another character in--in toward the light within you, you allow Spirit to extend. When you feel the tension of a belief about another character, there are two places you can go. When you go directly into the purity of the heart you share with the one who looks like another character, that thought you heard loses all meaning and value. Instead, the rays of light extending from the heart you share shine forth. Who would not choose this radiance over some temporary, small idea of who someone is as separate? Yet you are accustomed to choosing this smallness over and over and over again. Today you choose shared radiance. https://lovesbeginning.com/2022/10/03/the-purity-of-the-shared-heart/

I received guidance to review all 365 lessons upon completing the calendar lessons in the ACIM Workbook, so this will have multiple parts.

There is a difference between laughing at the idea that separation could ever be real and laughing separate aspects of a separation that you believe is real. The difference is feeling–the one thing you are capable of judging. In the first case, your laughter releases you into reality. In the second case, you believe that there is something particularly unfortunate about fantasy, treating fantasy as if it is real. When you laugh at the idea that separation could be real, here you Are, safe at Home in Reality. When you laugh at an aspect of the illusion while believing you’re in it, you keep yourself believing it is real. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/12/15/inspire/

Chapter 6: The Lessons of Love Introduction I. The Message of the Crucifixion "Yet if destruction itself is impossible, anything that is destructible cannot be real."

Chapter 6 – The Lessons of Love IV. The Only Answer “The ego believes, and correctly, that his maker may withdraw support from it at any moment.” 💚

Ego's positive and negative emotional offerings fail to disturb when you remember how powerful and helpful Reality is 💚 Photo by eberhard 🖐 grossgasteiger on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/a-view-of-a-mountain-range-covered-in-clouds-jCoXcsqYQvM

Meet sameness and safety everywhere you go today. Behind every surface that you see, the sameness here is your safety and the safety of all. Ego judgments are always positive and negative evaluations of surfaces in comparison with each other. Your only peace is beyond all comparison and separation, and it is always available to you and all. Rest here because the invitation to do so is always open. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/12/11/access-the-clarity/

When you struggle or defend yourself, it is because you believe you are trapped within the most profound and real disquiet and disorder, and you must strive to secure some peace and stability for your separate self 💚

Truth is always very helpful to you--not a relative truth about perception, but the essential Truth of all that is. Whenever you feel disquiet, you are denying Truth and attempting to assert a relative truth about perception. It's just a habit--a habit that comes from the belief that finding and holding onto a relative truth about anything is meaningful and helpful. Allow this belief to sit in the light, and you are relieved of the quest to find and cling to relative truths. https://lovesbeginning.com/2022/10/10/being-wrong-is-good-news/ Song: "Climb Every Mountain," The Sound of Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjmAPh_sdtE

When you follow the only thing that is Real, you flow with what is Real in everyone and everything. Keep your eyes and heart open to what is Real and present in everyone and everything. You are connected with it forever, as are all. From this foundation of what is Real, you will be shown the way. As you are shown, all are shown. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/11/27/tune-into-the-commonality/ Photo by Maros Misove on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/green-leaf-HGNtPpNQBcI

Ego gives you a separate and limited definition of self to fall back on and make your home, and it calls this security. Whenever you feel any degree of tension or stress, this is what is happening–you are attempting to use thought to find a home that can never be your true home. It may seem to be that a person “out there” has a very wrong and unfair view, and this is the cause of your tension, but this is not so. Here you are, separate from that one, with a more accurate view. Here is the limited home of your separate identity you are trying to make safe, but it can never be safe. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/11/26/meet-your-self/

Picture this: Two missiles, airborne, one seeming to zoom from point A to point B, and one seeming to zoom from point B to point A. Look at them seeming to hold the clear blue sky together in one moment of stillness. You do not know anything about these objects. You do not know where they have been, where they are going, or what they are used for. They just seem to be here, suspended in sky. That’s it. Nothing else. You know nothing about them. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/10/12/is-real/

Whenever there seems to be a problem, you perceive a conflict between two opposing forces 💚

Chapter 6: The Lessons of Love VI. The Lessons of the Holy Spirit A. To Have, Give All to All “The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life.” 💚 Playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2gjtkCbLCJDRB6uhCg8ahuLe__4HnnwL&si=-jqX0MEwqHnLpi4V

Your mind projects things for you to perceive, and then ego offers you thoughts that interpret what you are perceiving. Behind all this, the light is always shining. You are learning to place your primary focus upon and trust in this light. This light guides. This light is what you are, what loves that one called other, and what that other actually is. The reality is always behind the surface. The ego will label surfaces–some good, and some bad. Then you see a drama enacted based upon interpretations of good and bad. Look behind the drama. Here is the light. https://lovesbeginning.com/2023/10/23/gentle-dreams/

You, as separate you, don't have to figure anything out. You can drop the struggle and strain and even the pleasure of that. Spirit does all the figuring, and then you receive thoughts that are easy to follow 💚
