Many times I have said that everyone is you, and you are everyone. You are the Great and you are the small. You are the Princes, and you are the rascals. You are the Mighty and you are the weak. Whatever there is in the world, it is you – an aspect of you yourself. Physicality exists outside you, yet every Being is you. You are the lion, and you are the lamb.

You are also the One who does not see Who loves you the most, and this is I. You are also the person you love most of all on Earth. You are also the person who loves you the most on Earth. You are also the person who disrupts your peace and drives you to distraction. Yes, you are the person you can’t tolerate for one moment. You are all of these.

You are the person who is loving and kind to you. You are also the person who puts you down the most. You are everyone you come in contact with. You are an aspect of all you see seemingly outside you. There is no outside you. All is within you.

The consciousness that is identified as a country also contains within itself its most beloved ally, and also contains within itself its worst enemy. If you want to know what your country is like, look at the mirror image of its so-called enemy.

Beloveds, a country is not a piece of land. It is not its rocks and sand and waters and trees and flowers and hills and dales. Borders are arbitrary. Borders are arbitrarily put up like a fence and a map made with particular attention to the finality of borders. There is no finality in life, and no finality of borders. Once a country is not always a country. Now it is annexed here, and now it is annexed there, or, on occasion, outright sold or adopts itself out to another country willingly. There is no separatism.

There is a form of yourself that you love. There is also inevitably a form of yourself that you cannot comprehend or tolerate.

This is hard to swallow.

You are what you are. You are also all the faults and blessings of all that you see. There is no staying in a corner safe and sound. No matter what, you are out there on the front lines.

Do you not believe Me?

Whatever injustice you see is a part of you. You carry that injustice. It is yourself you rail at. It is yourself that you stamp your foot at. You are the beggar. You are the benefactor. You may well have not gone out and killed someone, yet you are also the murderer. You have had murder in your heart. You are the peace-bringer, and you are the warmonger. You are the master, and you are the slave.

It is always something within yourself that you fight. It is always something within yourself that you object to.

You are the villain, and you are the angel. You are the merciless villain who twirls his moustache, and you are the angel of mercy as light as air who rescues you from the villain.

Whatever you respond to with equal emotion, you are. If you fight crime, you are fighting criminality within you. You don’t have to have expressed it. Others express it for you, and you can be angry at your own propensities that you have not personally expressed or acknowledged. You are the pursuer and the pursued. You pursue yourself. You want to eradicate an aspect of yourself, or you want to amplify an aspect of yourself.

You are human and Divine.

There is no one you are not, expressed or unexpressed, meant to be, or not. When you criticize another, you are criticizing yourself. Let go of criticism, and you take a giant step forward.

Get on with the present without your foibles. To be done with the past is to leave it behind. Be Who you truly are with Oneness of purpose. You have a Get Out of Jail Free Card. Get out of the past and all its paraphernalia.
