“You would be very surprised how different reality is from what we see. We do not realize the magnitude of that one error. “It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough. But nothing we have seen begins to show us the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast us out of the Garden, shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and force us to make further substitutions.
“That was the first projection of error outward. The world arose to hide it, and became the screen on which it was projected and drawn between us and the truth. Truth extends inward, where the idea of loss in meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a world in which everything is backwards and upside down arose from this projection of error? It was inevitable. For truth brought to this could only remain within in quiet, and take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was and so it still remains. Invest it not with guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it.
“When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rising to frighten you, say only, ‘God is not fear, but love,’ and it will disappear. The truth will save us. It has not left us, to go out into the mad world and so depart from us. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside us. We but believe it is the other way around, that truth is outside, and error and guilt within. Our little, senseless substitutions, touched with insanity and swirling lightly off on a mad course like feathers dancing insanely in the wind, have no substance. They fuse and merge and separate, in shifting and totally meaningless patterns that need not be judged at all. To judge them individually is pointless. Their tiny differences in form are no real differences at all. None of them matters. That they have that in common and nothing else.
“Let them all go, dancing in the wind, dipping and turning till they disappear from sight, far, far outside you. Instead, turn to the stately calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God we never left, and who never left us.”

“When we fragment, we substitute illusion for truth,” Devorah said to the multitude. “We’re saying truth, reality as it is, is not enough; we want and need something more; that being who and what we are, spiritual beings having earthly experiences, is inadequate and doesn’t work. To fragment is to exclude, judge against and substitute one aspect of the whole for the whole Itself.
“When we fragment, no one is seen as complete. The body is emphasized, not spirit, with special emphasis on certain parts which are used as the standard of comparison for judgment.
“It’s all about fear. Fear is both a fragmented and fragmenting emotion. Fear seems to take many forms, each seeming to require a different form of action to manage it. Yet in truth, fear is the result of a single substitution: the ego for Spirit. And because of this single substitution, the world has become so splintered and subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible to perceive it once was one and still is what it was.
“Beloved, that one error, not a sin, but an error, which brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all we ever made. Our whole world rests on it. Everything we see reflects it, and every special relationship we’ve ever made is part of it.
“You would be very surprised how different reality is from what we see. We do not realize the magnitude of that one error.”

Forgiveness
“Beloveds, can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you?” Devorah said to the multitude. “In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. You will behold the beauty Spirit Itself loves to look upon. YourSelf holds this and sees this for you until you are able to see it for yourself.
“To forgive is merely to remember only the loving experiences you gave in the past, and those that were given you. Let all the rest go. Don’t energize them with your thoughts and feelings. Don’t dwell on them. Turn away from them. Forgiveness is a selective remembering, based not on your selection, but spirit’s, on the still small voice’s guidance, by choosing the Kingdom first and of remembering from being centered in It.
“It is still and always up to you to choose to join with truth or illusion. But to choose one is to let the other go. Which you choose you will endow with beauty and reality; the spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and fear, freedom or slavery. But no matter how it seems, realize you can never choose but between God and the ego. Thought systems and the experiences that flow from them are either true or false and all their attributes flow simply from what they are.”

“No evidence will convince you of the truth of what you do not want.” [This is so true of the TPary Republicans and their reaction to Obama.] It is true, just as you fear, Malachizer, that to have faith in spirit and acknowledge Its reality and Wholeness and your own reality as part of It, is to deny all that you think you know. But what you think you know was never true, priest. What gain is there in clinging to it and denying the evidence for truth? The discomfort you feel when I speak to you of the power of love and at-one-ment and the weakness and limitations of fragmentation and your awareness of the distinctions between the Covenant and the Scrolls is being brought into your awareness constantly now. And this in a mind firmly convinced that at-one-ment is illusion and attack is power.
“Do you still prefer the results of your interpretation of experience, when you honestly consider what those results have been? Is our world so good? God wills us better, Malachizer. Could you not look with greater clarity, in awe of the great mystery, seeing your ideas and beliefs as starting points on the journey to greater awareness? Spirit has spoken clearly, Malachizer, and yet because you have preferred to place still greater faith in the disaster you have made you have little faith in what you’ve heard. Today, let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and reality is not disaster.”

“We have a tendency to fragment, then be concerned about the truth of just a little part of the whole,” Devorah said to Malachizer the High Priest.
He frowned. “How else are we to know anything? After all, we do not eat the whole lamb at once, we eat it one mouthful at a time.” The priest smiled, proud of himself.
Devorah nodded indulgently. “We are not talking about eating, Malachizer, we are talking about knowing God. Focusing on a part, the Ten Commandments for example, is but a way of avoiding, or looking away from the whole, to what we think we might be better able to comprehend. A better and far more helpful way to think of God is this: we do not understand the power It is, either in part or in whole.” Malachizer sputtered. “We do not understand because we constantly fragment It, continually cutting the great mystery that It is down to our size, the size of our egos. Yet are we one with It and It works through us, even tho we don’t comprehend how; therefore our understanding cannot be necessary. But faith….”
“Faith is important, but not enough!” Malachizer said.
“I agree,” Devorah responded. “We have no choice but to use all aspects of being human – spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. But how can faith in reality be ours while we are bent on making it unreal, denying Wholeness and fragmenting It? And are you really safer in maintaining the reality of illusions than you would be in joyously accepting the truth for what It is, and giving thanks for It? Honor the truth that has been given, and be glad you do not understand it.

A Reciprocal Thing
“Have you noticed,” the intuitive voice said to Devorah, the voice she thought of as God, “the fading out of one channel of communication, awareness, interest and opportunity is the signal of the opening of another?”
“Yes, I have,” Devorah responded. “We often say one door closes and another opens.”
“Yes, that’s because I’m always here, fully present, right where you are and no matter how things may appear to your ego self, I, yourSelf, intend only good.”
“I know that, abba, and I am learning to raise my consciousness enough to see beyond the outer circumstances to the truth of our shared reality. I see that shifting is a two sided coin, a two edged sword a reciprocal thing. As I empty out my closet, I automatically make room for new clothes.”
“Indeed! What you use in fantasy you deny to truth. What you reserve for yourself, you withhold from youSelf and from the wholeness reality is. The present is useless to you while you pursue the ego’s goals and know not yourSelf. Awake and awaken your brothers and sisters to our joyous shared reality. Have a good weekend!”
