The opposites in the world have you by the scruff of the neck. The world may say:

“Be strong, yet be flexible. Have a heart, yet use your head. Be compassionate, yet don’t overdo it. Don’t be a spendthrift, and don’t pinch pennies. Work hard, yet not too hard. Are you courageous to take a stand, or are you holding on too tight? For Heaven’s sakes, when is it worthy to hold on, and when does it make sense to let go? When do you wait, and when do you act? Strike when the iron is hot, and haste makes waste. Take your choice.”

What is a body to do?

You tell yourself that all you want is a little clarity in life. You are called on to make decisions of all kinds and sizes, and there is a fifty/fifty chance that you’re mistaken. There could also be a 99.9% chance that you are right, think of that. Yet, here you are in a quandary. Who even knows that which you call right is really right or will continue to live out its day as right? There is no knowing. There is no knowing for sure, even when you think you’re sure. You live in a boat that is easy to tip over.

Beloveds, you want change, and you want stability too. You want to pick and choose what changes and what stays the same. You don’t want to upset the applecart. Life is the applecart. It upsets you.

One way or the other, life isn’t going to stay the same. You live with this every day.

Indeed, come close to Me. Through Our closeness, you will know me as One Who blesses and comforts and sees, loves and loves well. I am Creator and Infinite Eternal Friend Who embraces you.

When you look at life and the world without Me nearby, what you look at may seem stark. Look with Me beside you, and you see warmer hues and softer edges. Life in the world tends to have rougher edges when you try to go it alone, catch as catch can, running on the surface, having no sense of ballast.

There is a tendency to feel that you are in the wilderness and you may experience the world no kinder than a caveman’s world, a question of survival in the face of anything that could happen, on the watch-out at every moment. Know that I am looking after you, and I looked after the lives of cavemen and I have always looked after you. No matter what the world looks like, there is sunshine and a sun that shines its light.

I am never absent. Let Me make that clear. In the darkest of dark nights, I am with you. What We are speaking of is your awareness. Awareness of Me is better than non-awareness of Me. Remember, it isn’t that I am casting for your votes and I want to be popular for My own gain. I am looking out for you and that you have ease in your life in the world.

Being close to Me or far away is something like the difference between sitting on a chair without a back or sitting on a chair with comfortable back support you can lean on. In both cases, you are sitting. One chair supports you more. You like to sit back and have that support.

In your heart I abide. I am always right here within your beating heart. You can always find Me here, for, deep within your heart of gold am I.

I am not isolated on top of a mountain. Where I am, are you. We can put it differently and say that wherever you are, am I. It makes no difference how We say it. We do not exist without the other, the so-called other, the so-called other who stands across from Us or above or under the threshold of Our hearts. One heart beats. Is it yours or Mine? Who can tell? You can never figure it out because there is no really separate heart beating in the wilderness somewhere.

If wilderness means without God, then, there is no wilderness. If wilderness means without you, that, also, is not possible. It is not possible, yet the world has perceived it this way. You have been perceived as you alone, you all alone. I am not hidden. From My heart, you are never missing. So what is this hullabaloo? I, God, am never away from you, and you cannot be away from Me except in your awareness. Well, then, get a new awareness.

I look into your eyes, and I see a reflection of Myself. Look into My eyes, and you will see a reflection of your Self. You need look no further. This is it. There is no solitary. There is no aloneness. It is a myth that perpetuates a search for Me when I am already stationed in your heart. Look no further. I am your Innermost Being. I never left your heart, nor yours Mine, the One Heart.

Of all the possibilities you could be, you are you! I create well. Even as all are One, I created you as unique in the circle called Earth. No two are alike. All are One, yet no two are alike. Even so, all are One. Of Oneness you are made.

Let Us speak of your uniqueness now. You are uniqueness I created. I, God, created you unlike any other in the world. Of all who are on Earth now, and regardless of Oneness, you are the only one just like you. Of all who have ever been on Earth and all who will ever be on Earth, you are the only treasure that is just like you. Oneness is Oneness, of course, yet this semblance of you is unique and unheard of before. Viva Oneness, and viva the uniqueness of you.

How is it possible that you appear as no one else before or after you! Of course, I am a Creator of Miracles. How do I do it? So many individuals, and no two exactly alike and, still, just the same, Oneness! I desire, and what I desire comes to pass as if all at once. It could be said that you were created long before you appeared on Earth at this juncture of time and space.

Just as time and space are not real, so are you, in your uniqueness, not really real. Oneness is real. And yet you exist in this realm of the relative world that appears to be so solid and permanent when it is not.

How big can a heart be? A heart can encompass all the Earth and Heaven. If thoughts reach far and beyond, what can hearts do? What do hearts do? They reach everywhere and into every other heart on Earth. Can this be documented, measured and counted and a chart made of it? You don’t know how, and We don’t need charts and such. I need no proof. I see. I know.

You might say that I get this intuitively. You must know by now that I don’t have to get on My knees with a ruler or measuring tape and measure anything. I know all. I know your face and your heart. Being is simple for Me, just as Creation Itself was and is simple for Me. Oneness is very simple. It is the Ultimate Simple. Simple is good. I will say it is better than complicated. I have Free Will, and it is My Will that life be simple.

You make a huge investment in this lifetime. Huge. I invest, to use your word, All of Myself yet I, God, love wholly and am not attached. Do you think I weep when an individual body drops off and the Living Soul rises to Heaven? That I am not sad does not make me hard-hearted or cold-hearted. I welcome the beautiful soul who is also in no way bereft. I am not attached to Life on Earth whereas you are attached. Understandably, you are attached.
