(From Way of Mastery, Lesson 20)
Everything you do and experience is birthed from desire within your holy mind.
Desire begets worlds without end. That is what your entire planet once came from. That is what your entire solar system came from. Your entire universe was born of desire.
Desire is the great power of creativity. It is that which births your very experience. Desire is perfectly free. That desire, that power to desire, is within you and you will never be without it. It is impossible to be desire-less, since you can only find yourself to be where you have desired to be.
You desire to have an experience, you and you have that experience. Everything I am experiencing I have chose through desire. You will only experience what you desire. What you desire, you do experience.
Retraining and disciplining the mind in each moment to hold only loving thoughts, to teach only love, and to not allow my thoughts and perceptions to become …..
What thoughts are currently taking place within my mind? How am I perceiving the world that seems to be around the body? How am I perceiving myself in this moment?
This will tell you what it is you have most desired to experience in this moment.
It is by desire that you have been birthed from the Holy Mind of God. You are that power which has been birthed from the Mind of God, made in God’s image - with infinite power, to create what you choose to experience.
The need of learning to observe the nature of your own mind, and to discover what it is you are desiring in any given moment.
Vigilance for the Kingdom means to retrain the mind until it desires only Love, only the Kingdom, only enlightenment, only peace, only Reality.
I and my Father are One. Now, how would a Christ live in this dimension? How would a Christ bring himself or herself to each moment of experience? What voice would Christ listen to? What vision would He serve?
Spending five minutes a day in the realization that you can only be what you are created to be - practicing the abiding as Christ practice.
I am simply at rest and at peace, delighting at play in my Father’s Kingdom. And where I am, Christ abides.
What have you desired in this day?
See if there was a moment in which you were using the power of the mind to decide against the Kingdom. When you find that moment, just look at it, observe it with innocence, and simply say,
I could have chosen otherwise.
Within the One Mind of Christ individual waves arise, made of the same substance — perfect freedom, perfect knowledge of, and union with, God. And in that freedom, the power to decide or to desire is present.
You are a perfect mirror of what God is–infinite and perfect freedom
God simply never deviates from desiring only the extension of Love, the birthing of that which is like unto Himself–you. And your will is joined with your Creator’s when you decide to birth only that which reflects Love–the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
Thirst only for the creation of a thought system that can birth forth the good, the holy, and the beautiful.
Decide this day to take responsibility for what you desire. Recognize that what you desire will be what you experience. In each moment of desire, right where you are, you have just birthed an entire world.
The way of healing and transformation, requires you turn back to look at your creations, to look back into your own mind and to bring Love to whatever is arising, out of the desire to be the presence of Christ.
Holy Spirit, what would you have me say? What would you have me do? What would it be like in this moment for me to simply realize that only Love is Real?
The only difference between you and a master like Jeshua is the difference of a decision No-one can take from you the power to decide to own your identity as God’s Child.
And no other cause is there but this: the arising, the inception of a thought, a feeling, a desire which has birthed the entire movement of a world, called the body, to create an experience of …. Begin to learn how to observe without embellishment, without interpretation or explanation, exactly what you’re doing–for ten minutes.
And you will begin to taste that there is a depth to you that is already beyond fear, already beyond illusion, already resting in compassion and Love and wisdom and Truth. You’ll begin to discover that: “Surely, Christ does dwell in this mind.”
You are choosing to bring the discipline necessary, the vigilance necessary, to retrain the mind to be identified–not with the realm of illusion but with the stream of Reality that is flowing through you, unimpeded, unobstructed, throughout all eternity, without end.
Time has only one purpose–the purpose the Comforter has given unto it. And that purpose is the Atonement of the Son of God.
Until you decide to seize time, recognizing its great gift to you as an opportunity to become wholly free, and to smile within your heart because you know that you are One with God…to seize the opportunity to discipline the mind, so that it comes to be identified with the stream of Christ Mind.
For as you desire, you will perceive. And as you perceive, you will experience. And the whole game is simply this: you’re totally free. Right here, and right now. You can’t do anything to become free. You can only remember your freedom by how you choose to use the mind in any moment.
Time is an illusion. And the things that pass by, the phenomena of space and time, are just shadows that you have interpreted in a certain way. There is no gain; there is no loss. There is nothing to fear. The world can add nothing to you nor take anything away. You’re merely here in this temporary classroom with an opportunity to do what any master in any dimension can do, for you hold the same power as I do–you hold the power to teach only Love. And what you teach, you must necessarily and immediately learn.
Therefore, learn well to observe the mind: What am I really desiring?
Separation does not exist. The Truth is true always. Death is unreal. You are Pure Spirit. Time is just a context. The world is harmless. You cannot be a victim. You are free. The Atonement is over. The ascension is completed.
Mind is everything. And if you truly desire more than believing in Christ, you must assume the responsibility for transforming the mind by using your very ordinary moments in which to see differently. And as you reshape how you use the mind, in every moment, you will come to taste profound freedom–a freedom that will carry you instantly far beyond the things of space and time. And they will seem to be arising within you and passing away within you: universes, arising and passing away, within the Holy Mind of Christ.
There can be no end to the Mind of God. You will abide forever within it, like one who abides in an infinite forest. Why not be at play in the Kingdom?
Desire: What Do You Truly Want?
When you awaken in the morning and you have planted your feet firmly on your floor, take pause and ask yourself this question: What do I want right now? Sit down, close your eyes, and go into the imagination and ask “What do I truly want?” - WoM
What do I truly want this moment to be for?
“This was the simple secret that I once discovered when I walked upon your planet — that it wasn’t about achieving some grand mystical state of consciousness. It wasn’t about acquiring great powers that could attract the attention of thousands. It wasn’t even about being able to manifest, although these powers may indeed often express themselves through the mind as it awakens. It is about accepting the Truth that is true always, and being determined to allow that Truth to be the foundation from which you enjoin each and every moment of your experience. I am awake. I am safe. I am at peace. What do I truly want this moment to be for? For as I decree it, so shall it be.” - Way of Mastery, Way of the Heart: Lesson 10
