Each of you has a special gift that only you possess.  It may be an act of physical strength, compassion, the ability to hold space for another or listening.  You have had this gift since childhood, always considered it a part of who you are and, maybe, have taken for granted the fact that it is unique and unlike any other.  Today, you are invited to revisit that gift and begin to show it to the world.  It is needed now, more than ever! ~ Creator

God said:

Nothing is forgotten. Everything is remembered. Everything you live, you have lived before. It is not new to you. You are reliving it. Parts of the past have been covered up, hidden, put out of sight, forbidden, unacknowledged, most especially to yourself. It is as if Light were something that would endanger you, and, so, you protect yourself from your very Presence.

Of course, brought into the Light, this cover-up will scatter to the winds and be gone, yet there seems to be a mechanism hovering within you tells you that you would do better keep this awareness from the Light.

Revealing hidden terrains and getting past them would indeed free you.

Better to see what is holding you back. Then you can face up to it, shoo away what blocks you, and rise uncluttered. Face up to what ails you, and then you are free to start over in freedom. Every day you can start over.

Odds are that you do carry unnecessary baggage. The baggage of the past slows you down. It trips you up. By ignoring the past, you may like to think you have written it out of your life, yet you repeat yourself, again and again. You refuse to let go of the Voice of the Past that haunts you.

Something may have seemed so awful you couldn't look at it then, and you don't want to look at it now. You fear it would be too much for you, so you collect unwanted emotion and push it down. As you ignore deep feelings, they build their muscle. To the detriment of your joy in life, the Past has made you at its mercy.

Rather than saying, “You are my joy”, know that your joy exists within and others only add to and celebrate it with you. ~ Creator

God said:

In every moment, I whisper to you oh so softly. At the same time I suggest to you that you gravitate to the Depths of Silence where you can hear Me for yourself.

Let Me express some of my Understandings to you. You may have different understandings. These are some of Mine regarding your ability to actually hear Me:

1. You don't have to be a certain way before you can hear Me. It takes desire to know Me for yourself. There are some of your ideas that may get in your way.

2. There is nothing in life that has to be as you predicate it. Not everything has to be WONDERFUL as you see it. Who says that Life has to be a whiz-bang model experience? Not I.

3. Going into a deeper Silence isn't about control. It is about allowing. A deeper State of Silence belongs to you. You do not make it happen. You let go of control. You allow yourself to hear Me. Be surprised when you hear Me. You don't instruct Me in how you will come to hear Me.

4. Start with an intention. You choose an intention. You do not try to enforce an intention. You cannot force an intention, for then you no longer have an intention -- you have an effort for a desired result. You can call that which you insist upon as an anticipated rule or a law. Straining for Great Silence is not relaxation. For Heaven's sakes, know better than to strain on purpose. There is no need to try hard. Trying hard gets in your way.

5. If I were to outline a commandment, it would be: Let go!
