Thanks for sharing. If it helps, I could start numbering each verse so you can reference them better. Speaking of long lasting batteries... 1. There is a light in you the world can not perceive. 2. And with its eyes you will not see it. 3. Yet you have eyes to see it. 4. It is there for you to look upon. 5. It was not placed in you to keep hidden from your sight. 6. What would you see? The choice is given you. 7. But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: You will look upon that which you feel within. 8. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. 9. If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love. 10. The world of love welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings your praises as it keeps you safe from every form of danger and pain. It offers you a warm and gentle home in which to stay awhile. It offers you its flowers and its snow, in thankfulness for your benevolence. 11. This is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear, that one belies the other. 12. Only one of these worlds can be perceived at all. The other is wholly meaningless. 13. The world of hatred is unseen and inconceivable to those who feel the Love of God within them. What they have felt in them they look upon, and see its sure reflection everywhere. 14. Today, seek to reach what is true in us, and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its Love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its Love bestows on us. 15. It's simplicity avoids the snares the foolish convolutions of the world's apparent reasoning but serve to hide. 16. Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is... all concepts you have learned about the world...all images you hold about yourself. 17. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad. Empty your mind of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. 18. Forget this world. Forget what I teach. And come with wholly empty hands to your God. 19. You need not know the way, because He knows the way to you. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. 20. Ask and receive. But do not make demands, nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you. 21. The way to reach Him is merely to let Him be. 22. For in that way is your reality proclaimed as well. Jesus First Epistle to the Rathians
First Epistle to the Gilesites 1. Pain is a wrong perspective. 2. When it is experienced in any form, it is proof of self-deception. 3. It is not a fact at all. 4. There is no form it takes that will not disappear if seen aright. 5. For pain proclaims God cruel. How then could it be real in any form? 6. Pain witnesses to God the Father's hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and death. 7. How can such projections be anything but totally false? 8. Pain is a witness to the Son's mistakes in what he thinks he is. 9. Pain is a dream of retaliation for a crime that could not be committed...for attack on what is totally unassailable: God. 10. Pain is a sign illusions reign in place of truth. 11. Pain demonstrates God is denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad, and seen as traitor to Himself. 12. If God is real, there is no pain. 13. If pain is real, there is no God. 14. Pain has to do with vengeance, and has no part in love. 15. Fear denies love and uses pain to prove that God is dead. 16. Peace to such foolishness! 17. It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. 18. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. 19. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. 20. No one but yourself affects you. 21. There is nothing in the world that has the power to make you ill or sad, or weak or frail. 22. But it is you who have the power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing what you are. 23. My brothers, the world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts. 24. The world you see will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really want. 25. Why then, would you deny your inheritance, and keep a little corner of your mind as a hospital for pain...a sickly place where living things must come at last to die? 26. The world may seem to cause you pain. As an illusion, it is what you wish. Your idle wishes represent it's pains. Your strange desires bring it evil dreams. Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear. 27. But in your kind forgiveness does the world live. 28. Pain is the thought of evil taking form, and working havoc in your holy mind. 29. Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. 30. You are the holy Son of God Himself. 31. This declaration releases you from the bondage of the world. 32. Deny your own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural and ghostly thought that mocks creation and laughs at God. 33. What have you done that this should be your world? What have you done that this is what you see? 34. Deny your own Identity, and this is what remains. 35. You look on chaos and proclaim it is yourself. 36. Every sound this world offers speaks of frailty within you. 37. Every breath you draw in it brings you nearer to death. 38. Yet, what is this except a game in which Identity can be denied? 39. You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. 40. Deny your own Identity, and you will watch despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but the wish to die. 41. But by this one thought is everyone set free: You are as God created you. And you remain so, unchanged, forever. 42. Lay down your arms, then. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Lay down the cruel sword of judgement that you hold against your throat, and put aside the withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness. 43. Here you will understand there is no pain. 44. This is the day when it is given you to realize the lesson that contains all of salvations power. 45. That lesson is this: Pain is illusion. Joy is reality. Pain is sleep. Joy is awakening. Pain is deception. Joy alone is truth. 46. The choice is yours to be made again. Your choice is between illusions and truth...pain and joy...hell or Heaven. 47. And let us be grateful to the Teacher who teaches us these things. Jesus
