Join Hands and Hearts

It’s Christmas time and I’m not in the mood to celebrate the Christmas the world seems to celebrate. It doesn’t feel true to me but I want to be true. My Christmas story is different now than the one I once knew. Seeing so many rush around to make one day special doesn’t set right with my soul. Show me how to be. Show me how to be happy. Show me how to appreciate this gift I have been given. Take away my tears. Show me the light, oh Lord.

I am so torn. I wish to join together with others in prayer, praise and song celebrating God’s love unto the world. It is Christmas time and I feel as if there is no church to which I belong.

Oh My dear, you still do not see clear. Do you not yet know that you are free to love Me wherever and with whomever? Feel free to join hands with the others who call My Name. They as well know My love. Though perhaps they use a different name, the love My Dear is the same. You are all to join hands and lift your hands and hearts together unto Me. In this way you experience Unity. Do not let words, rites and rituals divide your True Heart which is one with Me.

A Christ is born unto the world.

Don’t let your spirit be broken. Look for love and joy everywhere. You have tasted the bitterness of life away from the knowing of My sweet redeeming Love, but only tasted. You do not realize what a fortune you have always known, as you were raised in love and acceptance. Let this little taste fuel your compassion for those living their lives away from the knowing. Let your heart reach out with My Love to all you meet. Many you may touch will find your Love, My Love, as never before known to them. Bring My Peace to My people. Show them My Love. Show them where to find Me.

Allow the Silence to completely immerse you. Step into the ocean of My Consciousness.


Daily revelations presented to my consciousness awaken me to the fullness of Spirit.


Man is perfected in his God Realization, his recognition of his true Spirit essence, of this True Self, his “Christ-ness.” With total recall, he is pure in spirit and mind, wholly holy. God Speed.

You are going to have to change your mind. When someone says something that trips a mental trigger that sends you to a bad feeling place it is of no use to bother one moment with the idea of changing what they say. For the only thing that can possibly matter to you is what you do with it in your own mind. If you don’t like the thoughts that come to your mind and thus the feeling that comes over you, reach for a good thought, a better thought, a new way for you to mentally process and thus emotionally process the information (energy) coming to you. Change your mind about it. Think of it a new way. Create in your own brain a new association for those words.


Someone says “It’s only 55 days until Christmas” and to them it may be a statement in anticipation of the joy of giving and the traditional celebration, but to another that same statement may bring on a feeling of dread and anxiety as they think of the many preparations yet to be done. Whatever the meaning intended by another, you get to choose your own personal interpretation of the saying, even if the other is saying such with a heavy heart full of anxiety.

It is your choice, always your choice, what you do with any energy directed your way. You can leave it, push against it or accept it. If you choose to accept it, make sure whatever you accept feels good and sets right within your heart of hearts. Only let in what feels good to you. In this way you are living the saying “To thy own Self be true.”

So what is true to you about the thought of Christmas approaching? What do you want to think about it? Of course you want to feel good about it, so make it a true statement that feels good to you which can repeat to yourself whenever “the Christmas lights” flash before your eyes.

A Christ is born unto the world.


Very nice, very true and as you know continues to be true as you are yourself birthing a new Christ within your own heart. Repeat it again and again.

A Christ is born unto the world. A Christ is born unto the world. A Christ is born unto the world. I have Peace within my heart.

He has called my name

I believe all the good stuff is divinely inspired, pure and simple, not complicated, just good. You know the prayer that begins “God is good?” I used to think that “good” was meant to be an attribute of God. Now I see that the true meaning if that “God equals good,” they are synonymous. Just like God is love. The purest form of love, Divine Love equals God. That is the love Paul spoke about, not many people know Divine Love nor express it. Instead they confuse human love with all it’s tendencies for error as the best it gets. Human love, which we are all innately capable of, can be good but it is not perfect. We know this because we have each been hurt by this love. As much as one tries to love fully, our humanness gets in the way.
     
True love, Divine Love never hurts. It feels oh, so good! Good to receive it and good to share it. It’s “the real deal,” what we have all been waiting for, what we keep looking for. This stuff, Divine Love, truly satisfies, satisfies the soul. The only hunger there is, is for more and more Divine Love. It’s a good hunger feeling because it’s the purest desire which God gladly will continue to pour out into your soul upon earnest request.
     
Most probably don’t have a reference point to this matter of which I speak. I certainly did not even just two years ago, but now I know. I know the truth, the truth of which Jesus spoke, the truth of God’s love which is available for all, he told us how, he showed us how, he told us we could have a relationship with God just as he. He called God “Father.” Did Jesus ever say “God?” I remember only “My Father, who art in Heaven.” This distinguished title told us he was not referring to Joseph, his earthly father. I as well know the “Father” feeling. My Father, Who is in Heaven, hallowed be His Name, because no name, no word is sufficient.
     
I know my Father, who is in Heaven. He has called my name. Actually, there is no “He” or “She,” as this Great Spirit has no sex. Attributes of both male and female are part of God but God cannot be defined by either. That concept is again limiting. I guess it just feels right to say “He” because “He” is more personal than “It.” So I say, “My Father, Great Spirit, who is everywhere and all.”
    
I know my Father, who is in Heaven. He feels like the most loving and caring spirit. The only reference point I have to this feeling is the love given to me by my own birth parents. My birth father has now risen, raised above the earth plane. I know this. I know much. Much is communicated to me in such a pure loving way. I know that this is communication from my father, yet which father?

The One
The One and only True Being
All
All is well.


All is well with me.

Say it again
All is well and all will be
Keep thinking of Me.

And Love said
To each his own
What you give you get
It’s good to learn
Nice to see you smile.

My Father in Heaven

12/7/2013

I know God as my Father, my Father in heaven. I feel the warmth and safety of His Love. I hear His guiding and encouraging Words. There is no greater title than “Father” or “Mother” for God for me. It signifies a very personal relationship, a two way street of sort, an open channel of communication.

I speak, I listen, and I hear. I cry and I am comforted. I am guided. I obey. I am given responsibilities. I am given lessons. I am rewarded for my work. I grow in faith. I grow in love. I rise up a better being, one in being with my Father. As I mature in my love for my Father, I become more and more of His Nature. His ways are my ways. My load is lightened.

Heaven is the womb of God from which one’s soul is birthed and that to which it returns. Your body is an earthly treasure made just for you, for your earthly journey. Dust to dust. It is not risen up.

What is this feeling I have? From where does this come? Whose voice do I hear comforting me, loving me, guiding me? Is it you, my Father?

I love you too much for words!

My Father who art in Heaven? Don Brown is it you? It certainly feels like your love. Who else could it be without skin on that loves me so much? Is it you God calling my name? Or are you one in spirit, are you now the same?

I will comfort you

Here I am Lord. It is I Lord. I have heard You calling in the night. I feel weak and scared.

Stay with Me. I will comfort you. I will fill you with My love. You are fine. You are well. You are safe. You are loved. What else can you possibly need or want? You have it all My dear; it is up to you to recognize this. One and all must know for themselves My truth. The truth of the matter is that “matter,” matters not. It can be gone in a flash with a wind or a flood, washed away, shed, dropped, gone. This will happen to you again and again in the physical realm you inhabit. You will be shaken to your core. What is left? That’s up to you. It’s My wish for all that each be so filled with Love that the exit of the material takes nothing from you, that you feel no real loss, that you become extremely aware of what you do have and who you are. This is your essence. What it is, is who you are and what you will be in the nonphysical. As you know, you will show. See things perfectly. Clear your mind. Find the time to see Me in you.

I Am

Please speak to me. Tell me who You are? Are You me? Am I You? Are you God or Jesus or my Higher Self? Are we all the same? Do I need to or should I call this Love, this knowing, by a name?

I shall remain nameless, yet you know who I am. I am All. All Love for you, for eternity. What are words really? They are limiting ideas. I am not limited nor are you, know this.

Come let Me comfort you. Come to Me with your everything, your pain and your pleasure. I want to share your life and be your life. I am Life Eternal. Come to Me as you are. I am here listening to and loving you. You are not broken. You have just been broken open.

You had to be broken open to be available to Me. You were so closed, so rigid, so tight, so selfish. Yes, you were very selfish. You thought you could do it all, all along, all alone. You were selfish because you didn’t share your life with Me. You couldn’t see My Love for you. You heard the Words but did not get the message. You had to be broken open so you could open up to Me. It had to be this way.

We have always been together as One. When you smiled, you felt Me. When you held and nursed your children, you felt My love. When you painted, I inspired you, I took away your pain. But you could not see how to live eternally with and through Me. The sense of separation you felt made you sad and caused your pain. It was a downward cycle that had to be broken, for I love you so much and want so much better for you.

I have given you insights into the lighter side of life for sometime. You could paint it, because of Me. Yes, you knew there was more to these stories you painted. You beheld the glory they told. You will paint again with Me. Now, the more clearly you see, the even more marvelous “Our works” will be.

Be the good

GPS  Global Positioning System
PGS  Personal Guidance System,
          Prayerfully God Speaks
          Perfectly God Speaks

While many are finding their way across the earth today guided by and continually connected to GPS systems, I am finding my own way through life with my own “PGS.” It’s my personal guidance system, words, ways, knowings and quite specific directions just for me that guide me to just where I need and want to be. The more I have disconnected with the “world systems” and sought solace and comfortin the quiet of my mind, God spoke to my heart in kind.

There is no reason to look elsewhere. You have found what you have been looking for. But yes, there is more, so much more here for you. Stay tuned.

Why do you insist on seeing life as a problem? Why are you always looking for flaws? Can you not see the perfection before you? Have you not seen My perfection in your reflection? All of life, including you is a reflection of Me and my great love. It is all so lovely. See it. Believe it and be it. Be the beauty I created you to be. You honor Me when you honor yourself, the soul and whole body being that you are. I made you wonderfully. Know this, I am pleased with My creation.


It’s trash, I know it. Someone else’s dirty laundry put up for the world to view. Truth or not, who really knows? It only really matters to the ones directly involved. So why should I care? Why would I dare look? Constantly this is paraded before us, scandalous situations of public people, some already known for their lustful ways of living and others pop up as shocking stories. Oh, the media loves these stories the best, of course they do they sell the best. People seem to crave stories of others failure and misfortune. It’s what gossip is made of and this is gossip on a very major scale. Yes, I am tempted to look. Is there harm in that?

Look at it this way, where is the good in it? Are you helping anyone, including yourself, by adding fuel to that fire? Gossip is gossip on any scale. It’s talking about another’s life in a most negative light. Who needs more of that? Do you? Be the good. Let it go and go on looking for the light and beauty in life. This is what you want, see it and believe it.

No Longer Bound

Whenever your family gathers in celebration of their love and support for each other you are to know that the ones who have been a part of this circle of love are still a part of it and are truly present in spirit. So do not lower your heads in grief or sorrow for their departure. They are not limited in “being” by their lack of physical-ness. Low and behold, it is exactly the opposite, for they are no longer bound by physical restraints and can be and are with all they love all the time. Be comforted by this Truth. It is for you to know.
