Enlightenment Is Not a College Degree
The heart beats, and words are electrical impulses. Words do try to express what the heart beats. Let your words be true.
I know you try to attain. No need to try so hard.
I know you want to be a perfect Human Being, and you are not yet your idea of perfect Human Being. Beloveds, you cannot be the perfect someone else. Perhaps you are the perfect you right now. I say this so you will put your feet up every now and then and relax. To relax is not the same as to be lax. You can relax and be the best you can be today.
You want to be thoroughly divine. You want to feel a certain way, act a certain way, be a certain way, and you are not easy to please. You are a great fault-finder when it comes to this carrot of divinity you race for.
Beloveds, Divinity is not something you have to strive for. Divinity is a natural by-product of life. All this while, you may have been nagging yourself, berating yourself. You rack your brain, and still you fall short of your own recognition.
The Great Ones did not keep score with themselves. They were not so concerned with their advancement. They left their Divinity to Me. They kept their eye on Me. Their own Divinity was not their concern.
Think of how far you have come. Divinity can be aspired to, and yet it cannot be learned. Your Divine Self is not a lesson. You cannot learn it. Divine Self is not on the level of knowledge. Let your mouth water for what you see as your advancement, and yet be content with where you are. Do not berate yourself. Since when was discontent more favorable than contentment? Divinity will take care of itself.
You can pursue all the knowledge you want, and yet what you crave cannot be found on the level of knowledge. Being an expert on the subject of love, for example, does not mean you love more than someone who does not know all the terminology. You studied more. You know the words. Divinity is not a matter of vocabulary.
Be innocent. Let the fullness of Divinity overtake you and not so much the search. Seek and ye shall find does not mean there is nothing else but the finding. You are not on a chase. You are not on a fox hunt for divinity. Your Divine Self naturally comes to you.
If a gold miner digs for gold and is content only when he has found a huge lode, what is the point of his mining? Your life is now. It is not some day. It is now. Enjoy your Divinity now. That there is more is not meant to be a source of frustration for you.
Surely you know you are not without Divinity. Surely you know Divinity is not something that has to be added to you. It is already yours. The nugget you seek is already in your heart. Pat your heart every now and then to remind yourself of the Divinity that is already yours. Do not be so busy seeking that you overlook what is already yours.
There is no conclusion to Divinity. There is always more. Meanwhile, have a little self-acceptance. Know that what has been planted in good soil will grow. I planted Divinity in the goodness of your heart. What I plant will grow. Your Divinity is growing now. Let your joy be growing as you rove through the fields of life.
Let go of comparing yourself to someone else. Let go of seeking enlightenment, beloveds, as though it were a university degree.
Seek Me. Remember Me. In that sense, forget about yourself. Find Me.
