Let fall away all that does not serve you. What does not serve you serves no one. But this does not mean to be self-serving. Self-serving is far away from the truth of Oneness. That which serves the universe serves you, and it serves you well.

No war is far from you. No disgrace. No pain. No heartache. No joy. No greatness. No love. All is yours. It visits you. What you give, you receive. This is not karma which I speak of here. I say that in the moment you give with joy, joy is yours. When you give with pinch, pinch is yours. This is not to say that you should give when there is pinch, any more than someone should steal.

There is no possession, yet when you take from another, you have taken from yourself. You have stolen good feeling which you then may mask with success at greed or guilt of it.

What you visit upon the world, you visit upon yourself. Right then. You hide this fact from yourself, but only awareness lies in wait for you. Awareness is what you are on Earth for. If awareness be karma, then karma there is. Awareness is the story of your life.

All the veneers from the past that you have projected onto the present do not serve you. But you projected them. You were not tracked down. You tracked yourself down.

No one would be selfish if he knew the extent of himself. No one would grab or hoard. No one would put himself first when he knew there was no first and no last.

Be aware today of Vastness, and then you will not have to go to any lengths. You will not think of retribution, for you will not keep records any more than the universe does. You will not be an accountant of life. You will live it and give it.

You live your life according to how you see it. Seeing is awareness. What do you see? What are you aware of?

When you spend time on the wrongs of the world, you are not spending time on the beauty of the world. The wrongs of the world do not need your support. Beauty and love do. Put your eggs in the basket you want. And put your name on it.

What do you want to be known by? By your acts you will be known. By your thoughts, you will be known. By your awareness, you will be known. You will be known.

Knowing the Great Truths of yourself is another story. Really knowing. Not the words, but the actual meeting of Truth, the actual grasp of that which is graspless, the actual awareness of Who you are and what you are to Me. If I am holy, then the Truth of you is holiness as well. Is it your holiness that you distract yourself from? Is it your holiness that you run away from?

Whatever you perpetrate, you perpetrate upon yourself. What you do to another, you do to yourself. Right then. In that moment, the deed is done, and you have done it to yourself. You carry it. No one imposes it upon you. You chose it.

Come from goodness of heart, and you can only choose well. You know what goodness of heart is, and you know what misery is. Do not purvey misery upon another and therefore yourself.

Forgive instead. Forgiving is letting go of what is foreign to the son of God. Forgiveness is not a pat on the head. It is not words. It means dropping something that holds no merit to you nor to the other. It means letting go. It means dropping your plaint. It means letting go of these infringements you have put on yourself. When were you going to?
