Let your awareness overflow in My love. It is your awareness that needs to hold My love, for I have always poured it into you. Let your awareness overflow. Let My love in your heart be so stirred that you are awash in My love. Breathe My love in and out. My love exudes from every pore of your being. Swim in the bliss of My love. Bet on My love. It raises you and keeps you aloft. It lifts you higher and higher. You spin on top of a fountain of My love. I hold you in the palm of My hand and I lift you higher and higher.

You enter My heart. I spear you into it. From My heart flows the rivers, and from My heart flows you. My love carries you, and you are a carrier of My love. It is in your genes. There is no departing from this.

Every word I speak is love for you. Every thought of Mine is love for you. Yet you see woe rampant and love hidden.

You think life should not be life. You think life should be something else from what you see around you. Yes, I agree. I tell you that life is different from what you hold up to see. See differently. See as I do see. You can do it.

I see a smooth plain where you see havoc. Listen, under every growing thing is soil. So peer beneath the brambles, and you will see an underground stream that quietly nourishes the universe. It runs through everything.

The expression that nothing is as it seems goes only so far, because when you see love in the world, you are seeing what is.

It is as if you have been living life in a smoke-filled room. Everyone smokes a cigar, and the haze is thick. You are playing cards. Through squinted eyes, you see other squinted eyes and you see cigars and you see each player out for himself. You have to look again, for no matter how it appears, each player is a Child of God.

Each player, no matter how skilled or unskilled, has a heart that beats. However faint, it echoes Mine.

Your vision and hearing need to go beyond the physical senses. That is how you change the world.

What you are is beyond anything your eyes can see or your ears hear. You have been fooled by appearances. You have swindled yourself, for even amidst ugliness lies beauty. Beauty and the Beast is a story of truth.

In the world, many wear masks, beautiful and ugly, for the story of a wolf in sheep's clothing is also representative. Yet even within a deliberate dissembler, even within the disguise of beauty, lies beauty itself, hidden from view, hidden from view of the dissembler certainly, for who would pretend beauty when he knew it was his and needed no pretense. Ah, he kept his beauty from himself.

But never mind him now. Let's pay attention to you. You who seek Truth in the world need to know the truth about yourself. Within you is a heart that beats. Your heart is God-given. Mine is the hand that set your heart. I set it to My heartbeat. I know what I made when I made you. Now it is up to you to know what you are made of.

When you have belief in the goodness of your heart, then you will know what you are made of. Then will you be able to see the pure light in all other hearts. Then you will know peace. Peace by its nature surpasses the surface. There is a far deeper peace than any peace the world declares.

War is the deception. Peace is the truth. Seek truth.
