THIS PORTION OF "ATTACHMENTS" IS QUITE DIFFERENT THAN PART 1. I want to address and share several insights that have come to me through my personal process of "getting there." Getting where? Getting to the point where I do not know my Truth but live my Truth.

Whether we are evolving as a race or not, whether we are accelerating toward a time when we will be invited into a Universal Harmonic Alliance or not, or whether we are living in a "reality" or an "illusion" is not important. What is important is the fact that each of us will, at some point in time, come to the time when our Soul demands that we live the Truth of Soul no matter what experience we are having. Whether that moment comes when we are on Earth, or in the year 2003 or the year 3200, or living in some dimension we are not even aware of at this time on a planet that hasn't yet been discovered, the demand from our Soul will come.

I doubt that there is a single person reading this article who has not, at one time or another, heard and thought about the concept that we are aspects of God/The Creator. For centuries we have heard that we are "children of God" and "made in the image of God." Most of us hear this and allow ourselves to entertain the possiblity & but do we become this? Do we live this Truth? If we have fear, we are not living this Truth.

Each of us is an aspect of existence and by that very fact must acknowledge that we must then be an aspect of The Supreme Creator (Creation) of All That Is. With that thought comes the thought of non-separation. For visual sake, imagine a balloon. Everything that is within the balloon is "co-mingled." Nothing within the balloon can be separate from anything else within the balloon due to the fact that all things within the balloon are sharing the same space. So it is with existence. All things exist within "the balloon of existence." Therefore, nothing is outside of us. We are not separate.

For a moment, contemplate all things in existence that we, as humans, are aware of. From the smallest thing, such as a gnat or a butterfly, to the largest thing, such as the galaxies we can see in the night sky, we have evidence that there is no limit to the things that The Supreme Creator can create.

If we are not separate from The Supreme Creator, if we are not separate from all things within "the balloon of existence" that contains all things created by The Supreme Creator, why then would anything we need or desire be unattainable? Why then would we believe that anything that occurs in our lives goes unnoticed?

All things that happen within "the balloon of existence" are noticed. Because there is no separation within "the balloon," how could an event happen and not impact all other things within "the balloon?"

It's taken me some explanation to get to my primary point. As I sat on the edge of a reality that should strike fear into the very core of me, the acceptance that I was several days away from not having a roof over my head and not having the ability to feed myself, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I heard an almost-silent voice within.

"If you are a child of mine, and if you are as one with me, if you are an example of me made manifest on Earth, if you are loved by me, why would you fear that what happens to you would go unnoticed by me? Why would you fear that I would not be participating in the events that befall you? Why would you doubt that, no matter where you are or what you experience, these things are meant for you and I to experience together? What I am saying to you is that you are not alone. You are me in physical form and even death cannot harm you. If you walk into the woods and forage for food, I walk with you."

I have no doubt that my easy acceptance and subsequent sense of overwhelming peace would raise eyebrows and questions. How could a loving God allow such things to happen and feel no remorse?

This is clearly a lesson about our human judgments. And it is clearly a lesson about faith and belief and Knowing. No matter what befalls me, I am in the presence of God and all things outside of that Truth are part of the illusion.

My understanding is that each of us will, at some time, be asked to abandon any and all beliefs that separate us from our union with the Divine. That anything whatsoever can harm the core of who we are is a belief that keeps us separate from the Divine.

As a society, we have lived with fear as a constant companion throughout the entire history of Earth. It is my understanding that we are being offered the opportunity to change our future and ourselves. To live in a reality without fear would be sublime. But how do we achieve that goal? We must learn to overcome the shadows of the mind. Fear lives in the shadows and the shadows keep us from seeing the Truths that, for so many centuries so many Masters have been attempting to unveil.

I must say it again. Anything that causes us to believe that we are separate from the Divine Creator is part of an illusion that keeps us in fear, reaction, pain, and suffering. The illusion is that anything at all can harm us. It takes a magnificent amount of faith and a massive effort to change the human thought process to accept that the things that appear horrific and harmful are part of an illusion that lies outside the core of Truth that lives within us all. We are Divine. We are creating an illusion outside of ourselves in order to experience and learn. However, that illusion cannot impact our Soul except through the wisdom we acquire.

The "illusion" of life on Earth seems absolutely real. And in some ways, it is. However, it is not as real as the core Truth of who we are.

The current evolutionary process is all about the process of evolving into a world of enlightenment, peace, harmony, and connection. Connection to the wisdom and Truths of Soul and God. Each of us will experience a personal evolution as well as a societal evolution. It cannot happen any other way for each of us must claim responsibility for the energies we manifest and share with the energy of this world. This personal evolution, for each of us, will challenge every thought and belief that we have and that every one around us has. Whatever pain, belief, fear, or judgment we have that causes us to believe that we are not safe, that we are not loved, or that we are not valued will deliberately cause us to have experiences that will force us to find the Truth beneath the pain and fear. Only by finding the core of the belief that such a thing as suffering must exist will we find the Truth beneath the emotions of suffering. Only by finding the core can we manifest the healing.

By being attached, continuing to believe, that anything other than the love and union we share with The Creator and Soul has power over us or can harm us, we continue to perpetuate the myth that we must suffer. We are the originators of our own suffering, with the core belief that suffering is possible as the base for our creation.

Our fear has the power to push away our Truth & only if we allow it. Our belief that miracles are not possible causes miracles to not be possible, at least in our own reality.

But we all know that's not the Truth.
