When I say that you are a perfect being, I do not say that you are a perfect Human being. Furthermore, I do not ask you to achieve a state of perfect Human beingness. Relax. I do not ask you to have a perfect body or to be a sainted being. I do not ask you to be better than all before you, after you, and around you. I do not ask you to be more something today than you were yesterday. I do not ask you to win some kind of race. I do not ask you to achieve some ideal. I do not ask you to be a paragon of virtue.

I ask you to be simple. I ask you to be honest. I ask you to desire Oneness with Me.

Jesus did not spend his life trying to be Christ. He did not aspire to any claim. He did not seek to be ideal and to have the world follow him. He did not seek to rise above everyone else. His attention was not on himself. His attention was on Me and fulfilling My Will. And he wanted you to follow Me.

Fulfilling My Will is another way of saying to give Me joy. It is not quite the same as trying to please Me. You already please Me. You do not yet always follow My Will, and you do not because you do not yet understand. You do not yet know My Will well enough. Yet My Will is very simple.

I seek to raise you to greater comprehension of your Oneness with Me.

Trying to please Me is more like dodging around Me. I don't want you to do that. It is not that you are to second-guess Me or predict what I want. It is not with your head or with your will that you know Me. It is with your willingness.

Once your heart relates to Mine, your devotion guides you. Once your attention is on Me, it is out of yourself. Once your attention is on Me, you abjure your ego. By default, you abjure your ego. Abandoning ego is not an act you perform; there is no ceremony. It is just that you leave no place for ego to stay. It will have no place with you any longer. You will not want it anymore. You won't work to get rid of it. You will just move closer to Me where ego cannot stay. It fades away. You forget about ego before you know you have.

When your attention is on being perfect, your attention is not on Me. It is on yourself. And that is where your attention has already been. Lightly turn your attention to Me. It is a tiny thing to do, this tiny switch in attention. The act is tiny, the rewards are great.

Seek to keep Me in your heart. Occupy your heart with Mine.

If you cannot follow My Will, then follow Me. If you cannot comprehend My Will, then comprehend Me. And what am I but you? What am I but love, and what are you if not love?

Seek to absorb Me into your life. Let Me work My magic on you.

You do not need to become more of yourself. You need to be less conscious of yourself and more conscious of Me.

I am leading you. You might as well follow. Follow your heart to My door. You are already at My door. All you have to do is enter. You do not have to knock. You do not have to wait. All you have to do is to admit yourself. You do not have to become something in order to come here with Me. You just have to come here.
