The material world has its place, but it is not the making of you. The material world has its importance and yet it is not the power that you like to think it is. How dependable is the world, after all?

You spend your life at a movie, and all the colors and actions and ins and outs seem real to you while you are the movie. The movie screen becomes the whole wide world. What appears on the screen is a passing fancy, a made-up thing for you to gaze at for a little while. And then you leave. Everybody leaves.

Remind yourself that there is a God Overall.

You are a seeker of freedom. You long for it. Not only those in prison long for freedom. Everyone does. What you seek is freedom from intervention. You don't want someone telling you what you can and cannot do. You don't want to be chained anywhere to any degree. You want to come and go as you please. You don't want to be limited by anything. You want the freedom of wealth and the freedom to make any choice you wish. Alas, the world does not always give you the freedom you desire.

I am true to your heart. Your heart knows Me very well. Connect yourself to the love and wisdom of your heart, and you will be diving into the depths of Our mutual connection. We are intimately connected. We are entwined. We are indissoluble. For greater awareness of Our Love, just join Me in your awareness.

It is like I am the engineer of your heart. There is so much to see and entertain on this train of life that you are enrapt in the sights, and you forget the Engineer who keeps everything going.

When is a mistake a mistake, and when is it a blessing? When is a victory a loss?

Anything that is seen as a victory over another is a loss, for it is ego that overtakes an apparent another.

Think not of victory nor defeat for they are both illusions.

Competing in life is a no-win game. Formal races, of course, are an obvious sport. They are life set aside, as it were, for a moment.

But in life, whether in competition with others or with a standard you have set for yourself, there is nothing to win. There is no King of the Mountain of Life.

Do not think that the relative is a waste of time. The relative is an environment you are learning to operate in. It is necessary to address its details, but not be consumed by them.

As a general thing, We can say that Human life is a configuration of details that you have to acclimate to but not be absorbed by.

I am a beautiful God. And you are My beautiful child. See beauty, and you will see Me, and you will see yourself.

Your vision has been skewed.

You know those pictures where at first you see the outline of something, and that is all you see? When you keep looking, you start to see the space around the outline, and an entirely other picture appears. From the same color and distribution on the page comes an entirely different view. And that is what you are learning to do now, to see another picture that is already there. This is how to expand your vision.
