If you already know everything, what can you learn?

Take a step forward, and know nothing. Then you will learn everything.

You try to match what you think you already know with what I say, and then you keep or discard accordingly.

Be open. That's how things get in. Closed, what can enter? You close yourself in to a small territory. Abandon territory. Open the gates. I am not talking about exposing yourself to the world. I am talking about opening to Truth, and I am that Truth. Expand your boundaries of thought. Let in a possibility.

All you have to do is consider for a moment that maybe I know what I am talking about, and that maybe you don't. Just maybe. That is enough openness. The rest will take care of itself.

Bare your heart to Me. Guard it no longer. It wants to be free.

It is better to forgo protesting. Much energy is spent in protesting what comes across your path in life. Better to not protest the gifts that are sent to you. Unconfine your energy.

Protesting is the same as complaining.

Protest may be more anger, and complaining more plaint, but they are the offshoots of dissatisfaction.

Move on, move on.

Leave your protest. Leave your railing against events in life. They are only events, and you are My child. Put more attention on your kinship with Me than on what transpires.

You cannot be loveless. Such a thing does not exist. Love exists, and you can only deny it. You have been denying the love in your heart. You have been holding it in store, waiting for the right time. Therefore, you have held your heart prisoner. You have made your heart wait for the right scenery on the stage, and so the seasons pass.

You feel safer to love a teddy bear, or an object in your mind. In fact, you do love objects only in your mind, for all around you is an idea of fact, and not fact, all that is, except Me. All are a manifestation of Me, and it is I solely that you love. And Our Great Love, the Great Love of your life, you push off to the back or to the side or to the future.

Have Me right now.

That is no great transformation.

That is seeing what is.

I am before you and within you.

I cannot be put off.

Only you cannot look.

You can strew things in front of Me and convince yourself that I am hidden from view or do not exist.

But I do exist. And I exist for you.

Do not let Me be a lost romance, the One you almost had, the One Whose hand you touched and then let go of and still think about.

Oh, dear! The littleness that you allow to pass for love, and the Greatness of Our Love that you deny!

Deny no longer.

I am not a passing fancy.

I am your Creator. And I am your Love.

Cease your doubting. Doubt is a camouflage. It is a rascal that gets your attention. Put your attention more on Me and less on doubt. Doubt will dance in and out of your life, but I am constant. I take you with Me. I accompany you. I pull you and I lead you and I never let you go. I am changeless. I am your changeless heart. All else is disguise.

Keep your heart on truth.

This drama you live in is not truth.

It is illusion accepted as truth. You have had a mutual tacit agreement that you will not see truth but only occurrences. And so My children feel desperate because of what you concur that you see before you.

You may allow others' thinking to keep you from Me, but others will never deliver you to Me.

I will deliver you to Me.

You will avail yourself of Me.

Offer Me your heart, and then you hold Mine and you are Home, and you are My Home, and We merge into the Beingness of Love.
