No longer will you be ego-centered. If you have negative thoughts or emotions, you will know they are just passing thoughts or emotions. They will be no bother at all, just like, when you see a tree in autumn, you’re not upset that its leaves are falling. You don’t feel that trees always have to be in full spring bloom.
Ego thoughts and emotions will become much like a scratch you notice on your finger. You notice it and then not think any more about it. The scratch will not plague you. It will be okay to have a scratch. It won’t matter. It will be like a scrap of paper blown by the wind. Just something there in your vision for a moment.
You understand that love, as We know it, is not an emotion. Emotions are small things. Love is big.
Your emotions are conditioned like Pavlov’s dog. No more than that. Something occurs, and your mind has decided that a certain response from you is needed. The response has a name such as anger or jealousy. It got programmed into your system.
As you grow toward the light, you will have a different response to irritations than you do now. You will not be bounded to a certain response. You really won’t be bothered at all, even when you notice a bother. You will not have all the repercussions that you have been accustomed to. You will not call in the troops, as it were.
You won’t have to fight back. You won’t have to fight anything. You won’t see anything to fight. When you don’t fight, your imagined opponent disappears. He cannot exist in your light. If you don’t fight with him, he can’t fight with you. You would be no fun for him. He can’t even exist without your cooperation. You won’t react with fervor. You won’t react.
Oh, beloveds, you are going to have such a good time solely by the fact that your sights are set higher. When your vision is on the rainbow, it is on the rainbow. It is not on other things. When your vision is so happy on the rainbow, why would it look elsewhere for distraction. Your vision would not want to go backwards. Who would want to look at pouting emotions when he can look at a rainbow – when he is looking at a rainbow? Who can take his eyes off a rainbow? Why would anyone want to?
When you are on the peak of a mountain, you can see a wide expanse. You are not looking at every detail or impediment. When you are at the peak of existence, why would you want to see impediments to spoil your joy? In fact, from the height you stand, you cannot see the annoying ants and gnats. They do not exist for you. Out of sight, out of mind.
When you can create Vastness with your thoughts, you wouldn’t even think about creating littleness. When you are in the full spectrum of light, you don’t ask for darkness. You don’t even know what darkness is anymore, so why would you care about it at all. You certainly would not wrest darkness from the light.
There is no going back, beloveds. You cannot return to a lesser state of consciousness. You would not choose to. You don’t want to get back the old ways of thinking. As you come into the light, you leave old baggage behind. You can’t take it with you and, at the same time, progress in the light. Baggage can only hold you back, and so you choose freedom, and you choose clarity of purpose, never old thoughts. Old thoughts ride away on a motorcycle in the desert, leaving a little dust behind. You, the rider, never think of looking back, nor do you want to. You keep your eyes front forward, straight ahead.
