\n================================================<\/strong><\/p>\n

(This is Part X of an extended series on being\u00a0part of the change<\/em>, rather than simply\u00a0observing the change<\/em>, that is occurring on our planet right now.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the first ten installments here we have explored in depth the first step in becoming a spiritual helper. You can find those entries in the archives on the website. The second step in becoming a spiritual helper is to:<\/p>\n

AGREE WITH OURSELVES ABOUT EACH OTHER<\/p>\n

It is important that we come to a new and larger understanding about each other.We are not each other\u2019s\u00a0enemies.We are not each other\u2019s obstacles.We are not even each other\u2019s competitors. We are each other<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Did you hear that? Did you understand the implication of that?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be offended by these questions. Every day I have to act as if I never heard that before. Every day I\u00a0seek to bring myself to a new understanding of what all of that means. Sometimes I can hear something and \u201cnot\u00a0hear it,\u201d do you know what I mean? I mean it goes in one ear and out the other. I\u2019ve heard it so often it\u2019s like I\u2019ve never\u00a0heard it at all. So I have to bring myself to it as if it were brand new.<\/p>\n

So let me ask you again, did you hear that?<\/p>\n

What I SAID was\u2026we are each other.<\/em><\/p>\n

The implication of that is enormous. Because if we see each other, if we can finally come to a place where\u00a0we can really<\/em> see each other, as simply Another Version Of Us, we will suddenly understand many things\u2014not the\u00a0least of which is our unlimited potential to create anything we choose on this planet.<\/p>\n

A neat trick if we can do it.\u00a0I have to believe that most of the people reading this right now would agree with the above\u00a0statement, conceptually. The idea that We Are All One comprises the core of the CwG message. Indeed, it is the\u00a0earliest message of Conversations with God-Book 1<\/em>,\u00a0 it is the central focus of the book What God Wants<\/em> , and it is\u00a0the through-line of all the other books in the 9-text CWG series.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I notice that even readers of CwG have a challenging time living that truth. I do, too. All\u00a0people do. Except when they don\u2019t. What makes it less challenging to live the truth of our Oneness, to see\u00a0ourselves as each other, is understanding.<\/p>\n

Without deep understanding, it is not going to be easy to overcome the Illusion of Disunity.<\/p>\n

This idea of disunity is very powerful in our experience. It emerged from the first two Illusions of Humans,\u00a0the Illusion of Need and the Illusion of Failure. These Illusions are explained in wonderfully illuminating detail in the\u00a0astonishing book Communion with God<\/em>, which outlines the mental cosmology of life as we know it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisunity\u201d proceeds directly out of the idea off \u201cfailure,\u201d just as \u201cfailure\u201d pro- ceeds directly out of the idea of\u00a0\u201cneed.\u201d These are the first three Illusions. There are ten in all.<\/p>\n

As Communion with God<\/em>\u00a0explains it:\u00a0Our species reasoned that if creations were separate from the Creator, and if the\u00a0Creator allowed the creations to do whatever they pleased, it would then be possible for the\u00a0creations to do something that the Creator did not want them to do.\u00a0 Under these\u00a0circumstances, the Will of the Creator could be thwarted. God could want something, but not\u00a0get it. Failure could exist.<\/p>\n

Disunity produces the possibility of Failure, and Failure is only possible if Need\u00a0exists. One illusion depends upon another.<\/p>\n

The idea that Disunity Exists has proven to have extraordinary impact on human\u00a0affairs. The feeling of separation from God makes it extremely difficult for people to relate to\u00a0God in any meaningful way. They either misunderstand God, or fear God, or they supplicate\u00a0with God, begging for God\u2019s help \u2013 or they deny God altogether.<\/p>\n

In so doing, humans have missed a glorious opportunity to use the most powerful\u00a0force in the Universe, subjecting themselves to lives over which they imagine that they have\u00a0no control, under conditions they think that they cannot change, producing experiences and\u00a0outcomes they believe they cannot escape.<\/p>\n

The feeling of separation from God does not allow humans to use God, to call upon\u00a0God, to have a friendship with God, to harness the full potential of God\u2019s creative and healing\u00a0power, either to end suffering, or for any other purpose.<\/p>\n

The feeling of separation from each other allows humans to do all manner of things\u00a0to each other that they would never do to themselves. By failing to see that they are doing it\u00a0to themselves, they produce and reproduce unwelcome results in their daily lives and in their\u00a0planetary experience, over and over again.<\/p>\n

The most significant outcome is that your belief in separation leads to your\u00a0idea that there is \u201cnot enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

When there was only One Thing, and you knew that you were<\/em> that One Thing,\u00a0there was never a question of there not being \u201cenough.\u201d There was always \u201cenough of\u00a0You.\u201d But when you decided that there was more than One Thing, then (and only then)\u00a0it could appear that there was not enough of \u201cthe other thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

This \u201cother thing\u201d that you think that there is, is the stuff of Life. Yet you are<\/em>\u00a0 Life,\u00a0and that which Life IS \u2014which is God, Itself.<\/p>\n

Still, so long as you imagine that you are separate from God, you will imagine\u00a0that you are something other than what God is\u2014which is Life Itself. You may think that\u00a0you are that which lives<\/em>, but you will not imagine yourself to be Life Itself.<\/p>\n

And we will continue this exploration in our next entry here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
