You are My Heart speaking to Myself. I speak. You speak. It is the same. You think you can’t possibly think up what you and the world hear Me say, yet We are One and the same. When you are shed of ego, there is no separate you or separate I to speak or to hear.
Speaking and hearing are the same. When you go beyond individual theater, here am I. When you accept your Oneness, you erase the boundaries of yourself. I am what remains. I was never missing. How shaky it is for you to imagine that I am your wisdom and that I reside within you. You prefer that I am a Great God Who Sits on a Mountain in the Sky and Who booms responses. You prefer Me to be a Voice Who Echoes in a Canyon. You prefer Me to be an outer Voice. You declare yourself as great enough to hear Me. This is how far you dare to go.
You feel that you would burst into smithereens at the actual thought that you and I are One. Where would all your ideals be then? You want Me to exist for you to adore, yet you hesitate to join Me at the Top of the Mountain. True faithfulness to Me is Greater Faith in your Self. No longer withdraw yourself from Oneness.
What do you think of God in a human body? Not all that much. What do you think of yourself in a human body? Not much at all. Not quite a scoundrel, more misguided, more stuck in a human body, yet this is another idea of yours, that you are stuck, limited, bound, incapable of wonders when you as I encircle the moon and beyond, aye, into Infinity.
You fear being Lordly. You fear accoutrements of being Lordly. You choose, from your perception, supreme acts of humbleness. You begin to see that you have to get away from your little self. You see that. You do not see that the shell you put around yourself is your hanging out with your ego. To disavow your Selfhood is not humility. It is an extreme act of pride to disconnect yourself from your Self. It is disavowal of your very Self and My Holiness within you.
I do not separate Myself from you. I am quick to say I am you, the difference being that I, this I that you perceive - I do not hesitate to come clean – I AM God. I am the God within you. I am not a God outside you. The One Who Hears Me is Myself. I am no other than you without pride in humility.
It really seems that you adopt ignorance as if ignorance were humility and that ignorance is your due. You have taken a detour from your Self. I haven’t.
When you feel alone, as if I have abandoned you, you have abandoned your Self. Too much to handle. You would rather fuss over the mundane. You would prefer to imprison your Self by excluding your Self and focusing on the futile image you have of a lesser self. You objectify your Self. You put your Self outside you. You fear coming too close. What would happen to your identity? What would happen to your attachments to your very own small-time existence?
In your life relegated to your body, you fear loss of the small self. You like to think that your small self exists prominently.
Well, dear ones of your belief system, when you love with unabashed love, then you allow your self to step into My shoes and practice what is like to be God in Essence. However, in the devotion you give to your image of littleness, you run away from your Very Self, and you run away from your Self as if the Name of God were not yours.
You hold yourself in dimensions, for you fear dimensionlessness. You hold your fingers tight to the presumptions of yourself which are baseless, and you fear your Powerfulness. Skipping over your Greatness, you promulgate littleness. Unbeknownst to your obvious little self, you are the Vastness and the Wisdom of God. You refuse the responsibility. Rather than be your Self, you paint a picture of your Self, a pin-up called God, your picture of God standing outside you, God as a Visitor, and you, a spectator.
It seems vain to you and to the world, I admit, to claim yourself as God. It is not to the world that you must claim your Self. It is to your self that you are to proclaim your Self as God of the Holy Universe. This has no connection with stature, you understand. This has nothing to do with Allmightiness as you tend to see it. This is taking responsibility for the blossoming of the Rose of Consciousness that you are on Earth as in Heaven.
