That means it was always true, but now it is filtered down to where you can begin to see it. All the good that is – is. All you have desired – is. Even that which you did not know to desire – it has already come about. All goodness is tapping you on your shoulder.

This is awakening. This is what it means to awake. You shake your head in disbelief or in amazement at all the good that tumbles on you. Great rewards were beamed at you long ago just like the light from the stars. The light was sent many years ago, and now you see it. How simple this is.

You thought you were walking on ordinary pebbles, and now you find that you have been walking on gemstones.

You thought you were hailing a cab, and now you know it’s a Golden Chariot from Heaven that has pulled up to the curb.

You thought perhaps you were a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or a sheep in wolf’s clothing, and now you find that, unbeknownst to you, you were angel in the guise of Human Being all along.

You thought being a Human Being wasn’t much, and now you find it was Greatness all along. You had covered your eyes in sadness, and now you look up at the Sun.

All that you have desired has come upon you. In fact, more than you have desired is upon you. Ease is upon you. Wealth is upon you. Freedom is upon you. Joy heaped on joy is upon you. You are laden with love. You are laden with love the way grass is dew-laden in the early morn.

Beloveds, you are beginning to find love under every toadstool.

You are beginning to cavort in the universe. You leap from star to star. You are catapulted across the universe, you somersault, and you land on your toes in the midst of an unending cartwheel.

How will you express this lovely joy that is upon you? You will express with exhilaration, and you will express with quiet humility, for a wand has been waved over you and now you are a ballerina of life. You are a rapper of life, a songstress, an acrobat, but no longer do you walk a tightrope. You fly through the sky. You are alert to all generosity of the universe, and so you pick it up. You pick it up and toss it over your shoulder, all the goodness of the universe, all of it.

It was always yours, but now you claim it. You sign for it on the dotted line. You acknowledge receipt. You have long recognized UPS deliverymen. Now you recognize angels and the God of Heaven as He, the Great Server of All, appears everywhere, bright-faced, eager to serve you.

I carry trays laden with sweetmeats. I give you water to drink and ripe fruit. All fruit is ripe today. This is the perfect day, for you have arisen. You have met Me in the horizon of the world. You have procured Me from Heaven. You didn’t meet Me half-way. You went right up to Me and took Me by the hand.

Of course, My hand was reached out to you all along. I have always offered you this dance, and now you proffer your hand too and clasp Mine.

We spin on the dance floor, and you recognize that you are spun gold, threads of light finely woven, sparkling, entwining light upon light, until you are no longer a dancer, until you have become the dance, an eternal dance danced upon the universe. And then you see that you are the universe, and the universe is you, and all that is I and I and I.
