Yes, I hear you talk about your aches and pains and what errors turn up at everybody’s door and often not for any good reason that you or anyone can see.

I understand that you don’t see fairness. In all your fear and trembling, you would not mete out to others such broken hearts and bruises as Life does hand out to you and others. You can’t believe that I am less merciful than you, for it cannot be that I am a God Who art one way in Heaven and another way on Earth, can it?

I hear you say in disbelief:

“God, if You are a God of Love and Peace, then how can You be a God Who appears to act like a Judge and Jury? Sometimes I see Life around me as a misanthropist.

“Sometimes I see Life no bigger than a bandit. I do not get it. It has to be impossible for You, God, to be bent out of shape and have Your attention on that for which You tell us to let go of. It has to be that You are greater than this.”

Beloveds, you further ask yourselves:

“From my understanding, how can Life appear as a miscreant? How can it possibly be God’s Will that innocents get injured and justice not seen? God, I know You can’t possibly be A God of Love and also a God of Retribution. This makes no sense. It can’t be that You and/or Life fluff off our lives as of no significance whatsoever.

Through Whose Eyes are you looking now?

You wonder how it happens that this question through Whose eyes you look can enter the equation?

You woke up one morning and you became aware that the eyes you were looking through were not yours. You saw out of them, yet they were not yours.

Well, you used to always be questioning, trying to figure out, trying to get somewhere. It was as if you had been walking toward Heaven, and now you have passed go. Is this possible? Now that you are here, somehow you have left yourself, as you knew yourself, behind. The you that you always thought you were has flown the coop.

Now that you have risen to Me, Who can you be but My Almighty Self? Is this the meaning of Oneness -- no longer can you find yourself anywhere? You seem to be missing. At first you may well experience that you have lost something precious, for where have your idiosyncrasies gone?

You may mourn that your little self is gone. Like childhood, like toy land, “Once you pass its borders, they can ne’er be found again.”

What’s left of you asks: “Who is this One Self that I feel dispassionate and objective and impartial about now?”

You may feel as though you have become a Stranger. It is as if you had traded yourself in and got faraway-ness instead of hip-roaring happiness. You sense a state of non-existence. In Oneness, where can appearance be if it is at all?

God said:

When you first arrived here on Earth this time around, consciously, you didn’t know anything. Everything changed somewhat since your last time, and you seek to know the script all over again.

Even so, at the same time, you know deeper than time. You know deeper than all that you relearn so precociously, and, yet, Life on Earth is also old hat for you. Life on Earth recurs to you the way an old tune runs through your mind and heart, seemingly from out of nowhere. From where you remember this, how you know this, how your awareness arrives, you cannot say, yet a recollection slips out from somewhere, seemingly far away, or, seemingly, not even here at all.

We can say you are a genius who remembers that one and one makes two. Some kind of reconnection is made even as if it were not from within you, as if you had never seen it before. It couldn’t really be true.

You seem to be here right now as if you are diving into the present, as if you have no past and no future anyway, as if you ride an elevator that you have no idea of how you got on and how you get off, if ever.

God said:

What limits you?

You do.

Ultimately, it is you yourself. Only you. One way or another, it is you. You are the inceptor. Whatever parts others in your Life may play, you are the one who makes the catch and creates a masterful feat or a bust and whatever else you may size up in between.

Credit yourself for where you land. You don’t have to credit others so much as you may. Don’t blame others so much either.

To credit others or yourself is a different story from blame. You are at the helm of your Life. At any moment of speculation, you don’t know whether what you call good or what you call sad is true. That which you may think is something wonderful, later you may rue. By the same token, that which at first seems unbefitting does indeed turns out to be a blessing. Have you not experienced this?

In any case, don’t sell yourself short. Give Life a chance to twirl you, and you may come out ahead. Be open to Life. What you may think and what really may be can be a horse of another color. Life is as Life is. Life, indeed, can undergo supposition. The thing is: There is no certain formula for Life.

Yep, sometimes Life is a switcheroo. Life itself has a lot to do with how you look at it. You just can’t be sure that your appraisal is correct. There is many a slip between cup and lip.

God said:

Be on your way to letting go of the idea of evening up Life and its Events. Beloveds, there is no disciplining Life in the way you look at it. Life as it appears is captured in a moment of Sun Light and reveals itself.

Life is organic and free range. Life has access everywhere. The way you see it, Life is to have some bounds according to your desire. You will be millenniums ahead when you give Life the freedom and blessing to be what it is when it is.

Dear Ones, Life does not need your sanction, certainly not your restraints. Take Life as it comes. A rainy day has as much reason to be as a sunny day does.

All the choices are not yours. Be Life’s Friend in Truth not as in a political campaign or business for profit. There is much that Life must take into account that you have no idea of. Life has its path to take, and Life’s path comes first. You do not know how to take into account all the intersections and connections. The comings and goings in Life have their right to be. Yes, dear ones, there is much more to Life than your eager-to-be-counted preferences.

Life has the Divine Right to mingle as it does. It is for you to move on in Life. Take care of how much energy you spend fighting Life. No longer sniffle over Life. No longer waste your God-given Life on squabbling with it. Make hay while the sun shines. Give your all to Life. Your Life is not so much yours as you think it is. No one said that all of Life must be your cup of tea.
