From the minute baby birds crack their shells and are hatched, their every need is taken care of. Then comes the day that the fledglings are dropped from their nests and must soar on their own. This is a natural event.

And now, about you, you probably just naturally evolved from your nest, and have been on your seeming own for sometime now. I say seeming own because Our ties are very great. Our ties is an expression of the world. It is really Our Oneness that is very great.

I could never toss you out of Heaven. Impossible. Heaven is where you abide. There was no fall. There was unfocused vision that you called focus, focus on this and that, focus on making a living and finding your way, when, My Beloveds, you, your Self is the way.

At the beginning – We can call it beginning, although you always were - there is a point or raveled edge when you discover responsibility for yourself and no longer expect to be taken care of quite so much. You begin to see that you may well create your happiness and sadness, and that you have the wherewithal to also resolve what seems to be an intrusion on you and go further into the Realms of Sunshine where the abundance of difficulties recedes. You may indeed be the resolver of all that gets in your way.

You do not feel so much that you are waging war and tromping through jungles. You have, perhaps, more trust in Me yet less dependency. You are more at home in life. Oh, once in a while, you may feel you are under siege, and, yet, you are not so fearful. There is an over-all security. You rescue yourself more now. You have confidence in Me at the same time as you have more confidence in life and in your Self.

What is happening is that you are getting closer to the moment that you and I meld into One. You want to be closer to Me. You do not denounce yourself. You announce yourself. You become closer to the power of life which can only be Self-Realization.

The confidence you have is a quiet assurance. Trust. A Trust in God, a Trust in Yourself, a Trust in the Energy of the Universe. I will go so far as to say it is simply Trust, not so much in something or anything, simply an Overall Trust, a Reserve of Trust. Fear and weariness and worry fade away. They don’t have the presence they once had. As you become simply closer to Me and you see We are already melded into Oneness, the Presence that you have known as God becomes more of an Omnipresence to you.

You don’t achieve it. You don’t attain it. You don’t figure it out. You see it, feel it, this Oneness. You recognize it. Perhaps you recognize it as when you recognize, as a child without effort, that your hand is connected to your arm and your fingers are connected to your hand and so forth.

There has to have been that moment. You don’t have to remember it.

You have forever sought Oneness with Me even when you may have not been sure that I exist. The time comes when I become real to you. It could be some great hullaballoo. More frequently, Our Oneness fades in, as it were, the way fogginess turns into sunshine, and here you are. The sunshine always was, and now it overtakes the blur of fog. You have become more of the energy and radiance of the landscape as you recognize that, in all the world and in all the existence as you know it on Earth, there is nothing but the Radiance. There is no landscape. There is the Sun Radiating.

How about that? You like it? Or do you find you want to stay with the old familiar? Either way, enjoy the familiar now, every inch of it. You will, by and by, come across the Great Familiar of the Wholeness of Oneness that already is.
