4-23. Believe that you are Loved, for indeed you always have been and will forever be Beloved of God. Child of God, Awaken to Truth. Wait not one moment longer. You are already Free.
Your innate and inalterable freedom from all that appears able to assail or assault you is not some form of conditional dependency upon the arising or reduction of any particular situation, event or material advantage. You need nothing at all to be Free. This is a simple statement, but when it is accepted completely, all transcendence from limitations ensues naturally and completely. However its acceptance may prove to be anything but simple in application, for there is no way to Remember your Freedom whilst you still desire to dwell in any conceptualization of loss in any form. The Unitariness of Creation is Absolute, but your ability to relax into its comfort and support is not necessarily just as that, at least at first, for it is not at all a minor endeavour to release all that you have learned so that you can be shown what was always Real. That is not to imply that it is impossible or unobtainable - not at all. It is readily available at any time, without regard for all that has come to pass before this and every perfectly crystalline present moment. That is the Miracle of the Present - it cleaves away all that has passed behind you, so that you cannot be directly and genuinely encumbered by all that was error when you remain willing to be fully present in the moment, rather than reminiscing about all that was and what it might imply for your future. That is the mysterious power of the present moment, and one that is little understood by this world at its current stage of evolution towards a complete Return to the Light of Love. It is believed that what has passed must have the ability to exert some level of influence upon the future, a revenant of gastly power, reaching out from the grave of time to counter the best intentions of the still living, grasping them with its tentacles of enrapturement with all that was and was not able to become manifest at exactly the time it was first desired. Desire is an apt concept to review with regard to the past, for there is much that has likely unfolded that did not necessarily align perfectly with what you might have wished would have come to pass. Yet is it genuinely true that simply because something was not in the past, that it cannot be so in the future? Are you still so very willing to believe that all that you were has some ability to affect all that you can be? Are you desirous of remaining within the ambit and scope of your ego, as if its presentations have been of some great value that has made your life so much better than if you had previously shed all vestiges of the ego so that you would now be wholly circumspect about its lies and utterly present with no thought of all that was? All of these inquiries are of the same vein, but they contain seeds of great profundity and fecundity, each able to present to you seemingly problematic issue that has but one resolution - acceptance. Accept that you were once mistaken, and that you committed error, and all is undone instantaneously and completely. Nothing of what was can influence your ability to set aside all that you learned, so that your mind can open again to the influence and confidence of your heart, the one organ of spirituality that is unshakable in its certainty of your innate and irreplaceable value. If you believe that you are not Loved, then so it will be for you, but you will manifest nothing at all and ascribe it a power to build for you a castle of sand that appears to be fortified with unbreakable solidity. That which is forged of lies cannot cut through to the truth of anything at all, for it will shatter upon its first blow against all that is Eternal. That you can create a world for yourself within which you are not Loved, and that you are thusly abandoned and lost in a strange land, destined to wander about with no real ideal to follow or system of thought-structure to implement as a guide towards which you can strive is not in question, for your Free Will is absolute and your ability to believe whatever it is that you assume to be best will never alter. What is requested is for you to look more deeply into the motivations that have inspired you to believe that the Love of God is not for you, which must at their final conclusion be seen as a desire for separateness and specialness which is inapplicable to you and to all of the other Children of God. Be glad of this Truth, for it is your Salvation from incorrect beliefs. That you are Loved is Guaranteed - it is Eternal and it will never cease, for God is Infinite and so the Love of God cannot be restricted from being Given to you forever. However you can believe that this is not so, and you will suffer as a result. Yet it is not God that condemns you to this hell of your own creation - it is your own beliefs, adopted for whatever reasoning or rationale that you believe best for you to employ that limit what you can see, even when your heart still Sees with absolute Clarity. Tear down the walls of imagined condemnation that you applied to yourself first, and then in turn attempted to raise against Truth, as if you could raze the Kingdom of God because you believe yourself unworthy of its Grace. Such madness the ego offers, yet it is often sopped up by the mind as some form of nourishment simply because it is self-similar and easily understood. Cease this insanity and focus instead on undoing all that was believed to be limiting, for never was it possessed of the power to stop you from manifesting all that is best. That God has Willed that you be Free is Certain. That you are as of yet certain that you are deserving of such limitless and eternal Freedom is not at all certain, yet it need not be, at least at first. Middling and hesitant steps are far preferable to complacency and stagnation, for while you cannot restrict the expansion of all that Lives through Love, you can certainly elect to remain stationary and then convince yourself that such reluctance is of some value that it has never actually obtained. All that was is now past, yet all that can be is a great garden of probabilities, a vast array of possibilities and opportunities that are ready for you to invest yourself within just as soon as you are willing to admit that error has no ability to be the erasure of Truth. All time that is invested within believing that you are unworthy of Love is not lost - it is simply ineffective and incapable of altering your belief structures, for it is self-erecting and cyclically-reinforcing in a manner that has no cessation. So, stop all of these forms of contemplation and attempt instead to first imagine, and then manifest, a world of Love surrounding you. At first, all of that will be strange indeed, for that is all that the ego is not, and so it may appear to be much too wondrous and impossibly liberating to be genuinely Real. Yet it is, for that is but one of the infinite Miracles of Love, and it is accessible and wholly available at any moment. No further time need pass while you believe yourself to be unworthy of Love, for you have always been and will always be. Use the power of the present to set aside all that you accepted as necessary or even vital beliefs, for you need them no longer. Where you are to go, belief cannot follow and fear will not abide, for Love is your Home and the Gateway to Heaven stands open, resplendent in its Glory and welcoming forever in its Truth that nothing that God Creates is imperfect… most of all including you, beautiful Child of God.
