What Jesus Wants You to Know Today: About Himself, Christianity, God, the World, and Being Human

Avoiding negative people is just good emotional hygiene.

Do what you love and what makes you feel good and happy—and do these things daily.

Most people on TV and in the movies are deeply identified with their egos.

It is not healthy to believe that life is scary.

I will tell you that images sink into the unconscious mind more effectively than words.

The ego perceives others as a threat, while the divine self perceives others as itself.

In fact, that’s what the voice in your head is: extraneous commentary.

Life is simpler without all the conversation going on in your head.

If you examine this, you’ll see that there is almost no correlation between your thoughts about the future and how your life actually unfolds.

What is the false self? It is the sum total of ideas you have about yourself.

You don’t need these thoughts. You don’t need to define yourself in any way. The truth is, who you are is a mystery, an ever-changing and complex mystery. Who knows what you will do or say next?

You become so empty of thoughts that all that is left is light.

whatever you are experiencing now without the evaluation or commentary of the voice in your head.

simply the experience of who you are.

There is one spirit in every created being.

So please don’t think that the goal is to become perfect. It’s not.

forgive yourself for your imperfections and forgive others for theirs.

God made sure to maintain a certain amount of Self-awareness within this dimension.

Resting, just being, looking within, meditating, and absorbing spiritual teachings seem like luxuries or frivolities to your ego.

You do what you do out of joy, not for some possible future gain.

You are just suddenly moved or inspired to do something.

Without such thoughts, there’s just being and doing and no suffering.

Follow your joy, do what you love, be courageous, be compassionate, and be grateful. This is how to live your life. The

Heart’s way is the way of joy, peace, and love.

The ego’s drives and ideas often interfere with the Heart’s, and when they do, they lead to unhappiness and even depression.

There are several ways your soul can do this. First, it works through the spiritual Heart, sending you messages of “no” through subtle and not-so-subtle feelings that convey “no.”

When a particular direction is important to your soul’s plan, things fall into place to support that direction and happen so naturally, smoothly, and sometimes surprisingly that it would seem crazy not to say yes to it. Everyone has experienced this.

It’s always best to rely on your own intuition, those yeses and nos from the Heart, however subtle they may be. Too many people give their power away to others in the face of a decision and then regret that they did. But that’s also one of your lessons as a human being, and it’s one that’s learned the hard way.

Fortunately, there is an adult in the room: your divine self, your rational self.

When you are also aware of your divine self’s perspective along with your ego’s perspective, you won’t suffer.

ego resists change at every turn. It doesn’t want aging, death, or illness to be part of life (which is the body changing); it doesn’t want others to change, unless they change in ways the ego likes; it doesn’t want things to get old or break; and it doesn’t like its routines disturbed.

What if, instead, you knew in your Heart that you are exactly as you are meant to be, and as such, you are perfect. That’s the truth. You are as you are meant to be, and so is everyone and everything else.

You have to see that you can’t trust it and you don’t need it. Once you have clearly seen this, you will be truly free.

The distance between your ideas about how life should be and how life actually is, is the degree to which you suffer.

life is much more fun when you are unsure of what comes next.

You thought you were unhappy because of the way things are, but instead, you see that your unhappiness was caused by your thoughts about the way things are.

Remember that you are light, and look for that light within you, no matter how tiny a spark it might be. Focus on it, and it will grow. Like an ember you gently bring to life with your breath, your attention will reignite your light and bring you back to love and peace.
