Can a Great Body Compare to a Great Soul?

God said:

Let your thoughts not always be centered on yourself. There are many reasons for this. One reason is that by having your thoughts centered on you, you don’t find happiness. Another reason is that, with your thoughts centered on yourself, by virtue of focusing on yourself, you have less compassion for others. Oh, yes, plenty of compassion on yourself.

Compassion is a way to undercut resentment. Thinking within the small range of yourself is guaranteed to incur resentment. You leave too much out. You are meant for greater than thinking about your little self. Thinking about yourself makes you picky, disgruntled, annoyed, overrun by little thoughts, piqued, unlighted. Too often thinking about yourself first is stultifying, unrewarding, self-provoking.

You are not the only one who has a hard time. You are not the only one who makes errors, is late, doesn’t show up, forgets, gets tied up. Have a heart for someone else.

The Great Ones were not engrossed in thinking of themselves. Their whole attention was not centered on themselves. Nor did they efface themselves. They were so close to My Will that they had no perceived need to put themselves first no matter what. They had lives. They gave up nothing. They lived their lives close to Me.

You may say that Christ gave up his life. Everyone does that, beloveds, sooner or later. It is not such a great sacrifice to let your body go and your soul come to Me in the full sunshine of love. Life and love take their course. One way or another, the soul goes on with or without the body. The body is a mere chattel. Can a great body compare to a Great Soul?

To die is not a punishment. Nor is to live a punishment. Undo the word punishment. Strike it from your vocabulary. Privilege is a better word. Strike the word suffering from your vocabulary as well. Strike it from your vocabulary, and you may well be ousting suffering from your life. You won’t be bound to be adding self-suffering to your life.

The Great Ones were not attached, you understand. That means they were free. Of their own free will, they followed My Will.

It is a very practical matter to let go of focus on yourself. It is not that you become unselfish. You just are not being self-centered. It gets tiring to be self-centered. Self-centeredness is short-sightedness. It simply doesn’t work well. It is tunnel-vision. Happiness does not lie in always thinking of yourself before you think of others. Unhappiness lies in always thinking about yourself before others. Me, me, me is a weary song.

I am giving you a great secret for living a full life. You want a technique? I am giving you one. Only, the thing is, this compassion for others comes naturally from your state of consciousness. At the same time, a little awareness, a little shove from yourself can get you self-started.

Please remember that compassion is not the same as feeling sorry for someone. Don’t do that. Compassion is having an understanding of what life in the world seems like. If someone broke his leg, you would not blame him for limping along. In terms of what I am speaking, just about everyone has a broken leg. Do you understand Me? You are not sorry for them. You do not think: “Poor thing, he has a broken leg.” You simply understand that there are reasons why he does not walk as fast as you. Simply by your understanding, you lift him up. You do not have to speak of your awareness. You are simply at that place where you see farther. You are at that place where you do not judge. You have seen by now that your judgments too often are mistaken. You didn’t take enough into account. Now you take more into account. You know you’re not the only one living on Earth.

We are All in One as opposed to One against All

Beautiful and Profound Words Dear Lord. Thank you immensely for this post. Your Message is exactly what my little self needed to read. By thinking about oneself, we limit our ability to merge with the essence of others because we're so caught up in our physicality. I am guilty of this Father. There is always something wrong' with our physical body but we fail to see the beautiful soul we harbour within. And while we focus on the false dual nature of our existence, we miss Your Holiness and Others in the process. Why do we focus on these minute and unnecessary faults centred around us (sorry, Im actually referring to myself where 'we' is mentioned). Probably from deep rooted insecurities stemming from childhood or the fear of not being appreciated. But You, Dear Heavenly Lord, have brought to light, there is no need to be fearful of all these things. IT is You who we are here to Impress, and that too by focusing our energies on Service, on others and on procuring the sacred act of Loving... not loving the "clothes" we wear to protect our soul But loving the essence of all souls.

Thank you Dear Lord... there is so much more my heart desires to write but I Choose You... Choose to Listen to Your Love, Feel Your Love and quit talking... and listening to the heartbeat of the universe.

With love and Light

thank of your blesseng,

dear Denvine Father,
i onley i can say thank of your loveng words your explanetion
to as for me help so much your explanetion words in my heart and my mind
to understand what you say in your letter,the help as in my puture
thank of your guideng in our life,
thank of your blesseng Devine father,

a very practical matter

Yes, it is a most practical matter. But, Dear One, You will have to give us some more time because, for millennia, we were led to believe life is about bettering ourselves, me, me, me. Of course, we ended up battering ourselves and each other, me, me, me. Getting off our own backs, getting out of the self-serving, self-perfecting, self-punishing circuit, though not a new idea, is rather uncommon and takes some getting used to. But yes, focusing away from myself – not necessarily somewhere else, just away from self, preferably nowhere – is the only true relief I know, if only for a moment now and then. I would like it to grow much faster…

通过翻译机没看明白,不过猜测你的意思是说,你认为我只是看到别人摔断了腿。你并不明白,你认为别人只是由于一些原因而摔断了腿,这有两大类原因会导致摔断了腿。一种是被别人弄坏的,一种是自己做坏事造成的。由于前一种原因造成的,比如汶川地震中有的人断腿了,可是他们不会用自己的苦难为借口去让别人一起承受痛苦。而后一种人,多半会自己痛苦之后,再将责任推给别人,而不去找自身的原因。你说的我的判断常常是不对的。不,我有的时候是在故意试探,因为有的人摔断了腿之后会说,哦,是因为山太高了,我爬得太高没有想到,应该把山削平。知道中国有一句名言是什么吗?那就是“可怜的人必有可恨之处”,所以我的态度是这样的分别对以上两种不同原因导致的断腿情况而分别处理,对于不将痛苦加在别人身上的第一种人,我是同情且会帮助的,而对于后者,以受难的结果却将原因推给别人的做法,偶只是就事论事,同情,如果对方自己摔断了腿之后再把我推上悬崖好让我也摔断腿,那是断然不行的,这是在受害后再来害人的典型做法,没有一个人会同情这第二种人。地球上如果有太多第二种人,那么这个地球不变成监狱星球,都是奇怪的事情了。我有的时候故意指出一种攻击我的人想出现的结果,来看这样的人达到了哪种攻击和无耻程度了,因为做过特级攻击者的人,能还有自尊心不去攻击别人,通常是不太容易的,所以偶有必要,且没有多少人愿意生活在有第二种人的地球上,这就是地球必须提升的原因。你的周围的高尚的人相当少,而且与你有过感情关系的人中更少,这是不争的事实,不必再解释和掩饰了,因为已经在殃及到整个宇宙了。你现在用的是一种我只能按照你的理解去想,你的理解是错的,你没有看到有的人其实断腿那是自己造成的,是必经的课程,在真理的面前只有一个原因,是否遵守真理。我对于第二种断腿的人,没有将其放在耻辱柱上让众多的人唾弃,已经是在帮助这种人了,明白吗?你不要再被洗脑了。难道让我跟第二种人一样,断腿后拿着拐杖去敲打别人,是这样吗?同情了不值得同情的,必然会让值得同情的人变得无人照顾,明白吗?如果断腿的人与你没有任何关系,你可能还远不如我,我的态度非常明确,不管是否断腿,不要把自己的痛苦强加在别人的身上,那是不对的。更不能因此嫉恨别人而去攻击没有断腿的人,正确的做法是,积极治病,如果能够找到假肢,可以安装上,这才是应该有的态度。另外你爱的人不是我,而是想掌控一切的意愿。你需要的是一个条件优越的玩具,而不是一个有着自己的尊严的活生生的女人。The translator did not understand this, but guess what you mean.

POWERFULL WORDS OF WISDOM

WOW GOD,

FOR LOVE IS NOT SELF CENTERED, IT FLOWS WITHOUT CONDITIONS, IT FLOWS LIKE THE RIVER FOR WE CAN NOT STOP NATURE, WHY WOULD WE TRY, NATURE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFULL FORM OF ART, TO LOVE IS BY NATURE.....NATURE OF TRUTH, NATURE OF MAN, NATURE OF EXTIENCE........

So I THANK YOU for REMINDING US, THAT IT IS OK TO THINK OF YOUR~SELF, BUT TO THINK OF YOUR~SELF CENTERED IN ~ALL~ THERE IS, FOR YOU GOD 'ARE' ALL THERE IS AND WILL EVER BE!!

FOR I CAN FEEL YOUR LOVE ALL AROUND.......MAKES ME WANT TO SHARE OUR LOVE WITH THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!!!.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Freedom from me and you

There is a first level in which I think only of myself; a second level in which, through the practice of compassion, I succeed in looking outside of myself and get occupied and preoccupied with others' little selves. Many stop here. Then there are few who understand that "the other is hell" ( from a Zen Master) and try the ultimate solution.

preoccupation

Oh, I didn't know Sartre was a Zen master.
Just kidding.

something new

Oh, well, now you know it. Fancy it, to prove that Sartre ( who did study Eastern philosophy) quoted from a Zen Master. Anyway, never rely on quotations... and on anything else.
