When you are wound too tight, unwind. What does unwinding really mean? It doesn't mean to take a drink or eat a second piece of pie. It doesn't mean running away or oblivion. Unwinding doesn't mean all the things you may think. It means letting go. Let go of what may ail you. What ails you is something you are holding onto, some thought you are holding onto, some orientation that you've got to let go of.

There are many possibilities. You may think the world owes you a living. You may think that you are in danger. You most certainly are in danger to think that you are in danger from one source or another or simply from the world at large. Whatever it is that hangs over you that you think you must defray, this is what has to be unwound. You tied a rope of tension around you. You simply have to drop it. It is you who holds yourself in jeopardy.

I can hear you respond vehemently:

"Look, God, what are You talking about? You know that there are tsunamis, earthquakes, lightning, all sorts of things that go boom in the dark. Trees may fall, trucks go off the road, innocent babies get colic. There is no end to the terrible things that can happen."

Beloveds, this is just the point. There is no end of possibilities. You are so quick to think of the disconcerting possibilities. I ask you to think of the equally viable possibilities. You could find a hundred-dollar bill on the street. You could bump into someone who will become a huge factor for good in your life.

You are a natural in fulfilling My dreams. You are star of fulfilling My dreams. No one has to know that you are a star and that you fulfill My Will. You have to know. Let others think whatever they think.
 
When I say that you have an assignment to do on My behalf – and everyone does -- I am speaking of the work and play you do for Me which is inevitably for the good of the world and humankind. Whatever service I ask of you is on My behalf. It is Our One Unified Will that you lift the world high.
 
Only as you rise can you do this.
 
It is your destiny to rise and to serve. You can't have one without the other. Rise and serve. Rise and shine.
 
The rising I speak of may not be the rising that the world may think of. I am not speaking of world acclaim or riches. Please understand that I am in favor of your success in the world, yet this is not what I speak of now.
 
All you ever have to have, you already have, and this is Our inviolable connection you already have. Whether acknowledged or not, We are more than connected. We are entwined. We are so entwined that there is no We, only I, only Oneness Supreme.
 
And so I serve, and so you also serve. You serve in My Name. You speak for Me. You do for Me. And, as you do, you speak for all. You herald Me to the world. You open doors for Me and more and more.
 

There is nothing to do but to love. Loving seems hard to you sometimes or even often, yet it is your judgment that is hard. Without judgment, loving would be easy. Judgment stands in the way of your loving. You take judgment to heart instead of love. You believe in self-righteousness and being high and mighty. You tend to favor judgment and spurn love. This way you are faithful to judgment and unfaithful to love. You learned this along the way. You bet on the wrong horse. Unlearn judgment now.

Passionate to judgment, you forgo love. You make love wait.

At the very least, you tend to want to be loved first. You tend to want all or nothing. It is your own judgment that makes life hard for you.

What is letting go of the past but letting go of your judgment? Love benefits you. Judgment hampers. One person or thought is acceptable to you, and another is not. And so, in judgment, you juggle life. You toss life up into the air, and it falls on your judgment.

Your mind gives you permission to love or not. Too often your mind gives you little permission. Something is supposed to happen before you can give your love. It is like you fight loving tooth and nail, as if cause to love comes before love. You likely consider love as an investment that is supposed to earn a high yield on your behalf when love is meant to flow, not as tears, but like a mountain stream.

Living on Earth helps you to be flexible. Change in weather helps you to be flexible. People help you to be flexible. What is the opposite of flexible? Adamant.

Of course, remember that everything in the relative world is relative. Whatever your natural proclivity, you learn determination, and you learn flexibility.

It certainly seems that life is hit or miss, yet there is a thread that runs through life that knows what it is doing. Flexibility can be described in many ways. It can be said that flexibility is living life without judgment.

“How, in the relative world,” you ask yourself, "How do I live without judgment? Am I to be only hit or miss? It would seem so. Even my judgment is hit or miss. It would seem that I float in life, landing here or landing there or not landing. I can only conclude that I am a will-o-the-wisp. Maybe I never touch ground. And, yet, God says that there is purpose in my life. Maybe I am meant to soar, yet it seems to me that I am holding on for dear life. I say that even as I don't really know what I’m talking about.

"Is this the famous life without boundaries? Is there really nothing to hold onto? No wonder I have convictions. As little as I may consciously know anything, I seem to hold on to tightly even that which, on occasion, I can admit that I know nothing about at all.

"Sometimes I feel like a ball thrown up into the air, and I haven't landed yet. God, I have to ask You: Is there a landing place? Do I ever land?"

You are a blessing to the Universe and to Me. I count on you. You are a desirable actor on the stage of life. At the same time, you are not essential to the revolving of the gears of the Universe. Everything is as it is meant to be. Everything continues. You play a part. You play an essential part while you do. In relative life, when you are no longer present, everything goes forward without you just the same. Your essentialness is necessary only for a while, and that’s how it is. Your worthiness is not in dispute.

 You are called on to serve in one capacity, and later you may be called on to serve in another. A lot depends upon you, yet not everything depends upon you. The world is smooth-running with or without you. With or without the blessing of you, the world revolves. I set up the Universe to be self-running.

You are always present yet in different ways in different locations as understood in the relative world. How lovely is the created world with you in it. It also will be lovely when you are not in it.

The overt world is not everything. It is something. It is something great but it is not everything. The overt world is a manifestation of Greatness. Full Greatness is Oneness, the Vastness of Oneness. Your position of turning the wheel of the nickelodeon of the world is temporary. The world has made temporariness a sad song, yet fluctuations make up the created world. This is nothing new. It was ever so.
