When you feel separate from Me, you have lost yourself somewhere in thoughts or emotions, the offshoots of thoughts. You have turned around and abandoned yourself to lostness. It is an absolute that I am with you, so when you feel I am not, you have become dizzy with too many thoughts. Is that not so?
Too much thinking takes you around in circles, and your awareness of Me is distracted. You are bereft of your awareness of Me. You have taken your eyes off Me. I never take My eyes off you.
We come back again and again to the shabbiness of your thoughts regarding yourself. You have been begrudging yourself. You become your own disavower of your worth. Maybe you are not worth so much to you, but you are worth a great deal to Me.
This is why it is good to stop thinking so much about yourself. That seems like a contradiction to you because you think that you should be thinking more of yourself in order to feel your value.
Think of yourself less often. It may be that you shouldn't be thinking of yourself at all, for often that means to you that you look at yourself with the eyes of the world. You appraise yourself. You compare yourself to others or to your ideals, and you depreciate yourself. Think about Me more, and you will gradually rise higher in your own estimation.
Attention on yourself is often attention on what is not. Attention on yourself is often attention on those demons called failures or lack or loss or inadequate fulfillment. Attention on yourself is not truly attention on yourself. It is on thoughts about yourself. From where do such thoughts come? Better to use My thoughts, and you will come to know yourself better.
You frame yourself in adjectives, and so you deny your worth. Your worth isn't in adjectives. Your worth is beyond language and beyond your momentary perception. You do not have to buoy yourself up. You have to stop belaboring yourself.
What a self-critic you have become. Remove criticism. You have berated yourself enough. It is easy to berate yourself. You can always find something to disparage and discourage yourself with. Now try encouraging.
Attention on yourself leads you to dismay. Not because you are worthy of dismay but because of the way your thoughts go when you think about yourself and the exigencies of your life.
Think about the stars and the galaxies. Think of the Creator of them. Think of the Creator of you. Give Me credit for what I have wrought. Give Me credit even when you cannot credit yourself.
Forego the past. Forego the future. Grab the present before it passes. Have no remorse. Remorse is like roping yourself. The only thing for you to have is joy, and in this minute, joy is yours.
Joy is yours right now because you are getting in My thinking. Your thinking has led you astray. It has led you to dark passages. My thinking leads you to green pastures. My thoughts touch you with love. Joy I give to you. You do not find very much joy on your own.
So don't be on your own. Take Me with you. Take Me with you in your thoughts. Let's breathe your life anew. Let your life rise silently to new heights and new dimensions. Become One with Me. Come with Me, and you will know Our Oneness. You have been away long enough. Now try something else. Our Oneness is at hand. Look up into My eyes and feel My love for you. Wake up to My love. Arise to My love, for it is to you that I give it.
You think that your power lies in money. Power lies in Me. Money without My energy will disappoint you.
Money is the false idol you have made. Listen, I am not opposed to wealth. I am all for it. However, your worship and adoration of it take you down the garden path. Garden path means illusion and disenchantment.
I will lead you to the True Garden.
Desire the ease of wealth, but know what wealth is and where it comes from. Hold it in its proper place.
There is more than money prepared for you. The Whole Kingdom awaits you. It awaits, but does not stalk you.
And you, My children, have been stalking money. Desire it. Use it, but do not make it a golden idol. Your worth is not in coinage. Your worth is in Me.
Wield money. It is your tool. But your allegiance does not go to it.
Influence wealth. Do not let its illusion influence you and make you forget what it is for.
Money is a token of Me, and all that is of Me flows. Keep your attention on the Flow-er of Wealth, and you will find that more wealth flows to you, and that you prosper the universe with it.
Moneys are God tokens. Spend them in My Name.
