Beauty

As promised yesterday I am writing today about beauty. When we look at value and judging something as good or bad there are times that language is used to describe actually an occurrence or realization. When I use the word beautiful in a context I am saying something is complete and at its fullest potential. And full potential is not a judgment but saying that person is operating at their fullest potential.

I know no other word to describe this bliss, completion, or ability to fully embrace God's beauty. When we come from a place of non-attachment we are actually able to use the word beautiful in difficult situations as well. Like when we realize that our past was/is there to assist us into total being and realization. When we have that moment of realization we can see how beautiful the whole occurrence was and appreciate the lesson, the experience, and yes even the stress of the whole thing. That is when we are reaching a stage of total Beingness. That one with everything because now we are able to see fully how we are blessed.

Say for instance as a child your dad was always telling you how stupid you were. One child may experience this by isolating themselves from others, another child may say, "I'll show him", and yet another child may experience total nothingness, doesn't take it personal at all. Each have their own reason for the experience, each is beautiful in its own right. But when we begin to judge that this child shouldn't have experienced this type of abuse then we are taking the beauty and connection away only in our minds by dividing it with judgment. When we divide anything from Source with Judgment we are dividing ourselves from Source.

I had a young preacher show up at my store one day and asked me if I believed in Christ. Absolutely I told him! He then asked, when you have people coming into your store do you tell them what's wrong with them? I looked at him kind of odd and asked him why would I do such a thing. He said because if I was a Christian it was my God given right to save people and tell them what is wrong with them, and to judge them condemn otherwise.

Hum!!!! I thought about this a second while the young preacher stood in front of me and instantly I realized that was Ego in flesh and blood. I looked at him and stated that all people are equal in the eyes of God and it's never for us to judge one thing more beautiful than another. In doing so only says that God doesn't know what He's doing. But in reality, I don't know what God is doing.

The young man looked at me shaking in his shoes and told me that I needed to repent and accept Jesus into my life and start spreading the word. Again, I looked upon this man with total love and said, "You have already judged me as not having a relationship with the Christ and for this you are saying that you yourself do not have a relationship with the Christ."

Well, I think we can all guess what happened next. Not only did I never see this young man again, but his church closed 2 months later. It's not because he did anything right or wrong, it's that the message he came to share was complete. He was being of service to God in the most beautiful way. Yes, even with all he said it was beautiful. All realizations are!!!!

My daughter called to tell me that her preacher last Sunday brought up all kinds of religions and which ones were good and which ones that weren't. Then he preached about judgment. It's kind of funny how we keep trying to get ourselves out of the loop but just seem to keep creating the same loop.

Now this preacher is a loving and devoted man. But he continues to divide his own mind with what's right or wrong, and continues to judge and say that this person or that person is deserving of God's gifts, but this person over here gets what they deserve. Interesting! But there's beauty in this as well. How? Think about it this way, the preacher that is so against a particular religion and talks about it to his congregation is only awakening them to seek the information for themselves. I know I did. When my Baptist church started telling us this religion and that religion were cults I looked them up, I learned about them so no fear would be held over me. Fear is of the ego. But this fear when embraced and investigated is our greatest blessing. It is because of the preachers waking me up with their sermons that there was something else out there that I should be afraid of that brought me to where I am today.

So thank you preachers for being the instruments that you are. It's all beautiful. God works in ways that we don't understand and don't need to understand. Our awakening will occur when He's ready for it, not you or me. It's not something that we can prevent, it's not something that we can even fight. We may think we can, but we ALL go back home. It says it over and over and over again in the Bible. It says that no Soul shall be lost.

Welcome the fire of hell in your life for it is through this purification process that is true love, beauty and joy. I had a friend share a bumper sticker that she saw that said, "Religion is for those that believe in hell and spirituality is for those that have been there and lived through it." The preacher at my daughters church said that spirituality was the MOST dangerous of all the religions. Again, without judgment we must ask ourselves what do we see. Whatever it is that you see then that is God's blessing for you. If you see it dangerous so be it, there's no good or bad in that choice. All things lead us straight back to God.

To step outside of judgment is to investigate what those things are that you resist and love them for what they are. No one can say that this is bad or good when it's all created to bring about one thing, LOVE. So the next time you want to judge something simply look at if for what it is without judging it good or bad. What is it that you really see? Don't assume! What do you see?

Until tomorrow enjoy the beauty that you are. Embrace love in all creatures and give God your Love by loving them unconditionally.

Today I'm going to make up a belief statement so really emphasis the drama.

Belief Statement: I don't understand why people seek out spirituality when I'm teaching them the way that will bring them salvation. I feel confused. I want everyone to be saved. I'm gaining frustration, while losing peace.

Wow, when we look at it so out there we can see that this individual is robbing himself of peace with judgment. But who really needs to be saved? Let's look at that.

TRFI: I don't understand myself and my spiritual nature when teaching salvation. I feel confused and want to save myself. I'm gaining frustration while losing peace.

Now we see how we are what we preach. We must all take responsibility for ourselves first and the message that we are giving ourselves.

Spirit Statement: I am Spirit in nature and teach freedom with confidence in myself and confidence in peace.

Beautiful! Simply take what you say and see what message you have for yourself and awaken to the beauty of Source.

Much love to you all today. This was a big one! Embrace it and be gentle and kind to all of God's creatures for they don't know they are asleep.
