3-15. You cannot "prove" anything to anyone. All affectations are but manifestations of the ego. Release the desire to compare. You are uniquely and eternally Loved.
The ego is endlessly desperate to be “proven” right. It is an essential aspect of the ego’s self-establishing and constantly self-reinforcing system and schema of continuation that it be provided with examples of why it is “correct” in whatever form the ego judges to be most appropriate to apply to any particular situation, event or occurrence, without limitation. Why might this be? What is it about the nature of the ephemeral and eternally unsustainable illusion of the ego that it must be constantly and consistently fueled by interpretations of “correctness” that, somehow, are inexplicably inapplicable to others, despite the simple fact that their egos are equally desirous of the application of veracity to their own protestations? The ego is not Real. As such, being an affectation of a belief in separation that enjoys no concrete reality within the Truth of Love, the ego must constantly reach out and grasp upon all that it can find to justify its continued manifestations of a rationale of distinction that has no genuine substrate upon which to affix its applied theories of reality. The ego lacks a foundational bedrock of Truth, and as such it attempts to spin one out of the broadcloth of perception rather than from the loam of verdant and fecund stability that is the structure of the Truth of God, and of Love, and of All That Is. Being so hopelessly preoccupied with validation, the ego wishes for you to enter into a contract of illusionary creation as well - a dicta of discernment intended solely to distract you from your innate, infinite and utterly unique nature. You cannot “prove” anything to anyone, ever. All attempts to do so will ultimately fail, for you cannot justify to another that which you cannot embody within yourself. Conversely and with the greatest mercy possible, all that is actually Real has no need of justification or explanation to another, for they already possess all of the Truth of Love in equal and infinite measure to your own. You needn’t wish to be the catalytic agent that sparks the fires of Love within their own hearts, for God has already placed the necessary spark within them upon the instant of their Creation, ensuring that the flame of their own Unity with Truth will smolder, silken ashes ever replenishing and wisps of causticless smoke rising towards Heaven eternally, until such a time as they are ready to fan the flames of their own heart’s fire into a conflagration of Love so powerful that all that is not Truth is burnt off and all that remains is the diamond clarity of their own Perfection, arising from the coals of their own heart’s perfect crucible of Experience. What are you to prove to them when it has always been their own journey that they must undertake and embark upon, an inwardly-reaching journey involving the casting off of all that impedes them so that they might walk Home to God in their own manner, with whatever steps are most appropriate for them to undertake? You cannot alight them with the power of their own Truth, held so dear to them that they cannot See it until they are ready to look again with the eyes of their soul rather than the perceptional framework of their minds. Because there is nothing to “prove”, there is nothing to do. You need not be venerated for your wisdom, a sage lifted upon the arms of endless crowds of adherents and their adjunct adulation. Fame is for the ego, for all who work for the transformation of all do not concern themselves with imperfect measures of “progress”. All journeys of the soul are purely internal and immeasurable within the world of form, for nothing external alters when the mind’s rapacious power to perceive is harnessed in the service of Truth. You need no longer desire for anyone to believe - or perhaps for some, to not believe - anything at all about you. Those thought are affectations of adoration, beliefs in the external justification of inwardly progressing processes that are designed and implemented solely for yourself and your own continued functioning, specifically the embellishment and sustainment of your ego. They will not do in the future that you are asked to walk towards, for no one else can Experience your own journey Home to Love. Release all that you believe to be definitive or decidedly deterministic of your own progress. That is not for another soul to know with any definite certainty, for you are walking upon the golden path of your own heart, and they upon their own. Affectations cast energy outwards, demanding recompense and recognition when no one can genuinely give you what you ask of them. They are not equipped with the necessary power to accurately recognize what it is that you are to do, or more specifically, to finally stop doing. Stop attaching to the judgments of others in any form. They cannot serve you in your highest becoming of all that you are to be. You are not bound to them in judgment or evaluation, for they are not able to carry you even one iota of the way down your own Path of Truth. That is for you to progress upon just as quickly or as slowly as you so desire. There is no rush or imperative to complete your journey within any particular timeframe, for you have been Given all of the necessity of time itself to complete this process, and you will arrive Home just as soon, or as late, as you so desire. Everything that the ego manifests is not Real, for that which is not of God is not Real. Love is of God. Truth is of God. Perfection - and specifically your own innate Perfection - is of God. But comparison, evaluation, “proving” your worth, value or importance - those desires are of the ego. They cannot serve you in any manner you would genuinely wish to utilize if you were to, for just one moment, set them aside and to look wholly within to see that which has likely eluded you until the moment when you release all beliefs in limitations. Upon that locus of time you can rest all that is to come, for it is an inflection point of eternity which will alter all that is yet to manifest for you, rendering it whole and pure again, for all that you will Give from that moment forward will be in Service to God and to yourself, for to honor your own Truth above all else is the greatest Gift you can Give to God, and by logical and unstoppable extension, to all of the other Children of God to whom you previously looked for reassurance and support. What is Given is never lost. What is Given is eternal. What is Given is the bridge of Light that supplants all that came before, erasing the memories of adulation and condemnation with the Joy of All That Is, now Given to yourself, and once received, never again relinquished in favor of the pointless and empty desires of the ego. Give, and you will receive, and you will Know the continuity of Love in its endlessly expansive nature.
