Operating at the Level of Cause

There is no "secret" that will bring us to anything that we do not earn

 through the willingness to live up to the version of self to which that thing corresponds,

 and moreover, to live up to it for its own sake.

Conscious creating, it turns out, is an act of love, 

an act of giving the self to the ideal 

rather than trying to get things from the world.

We cannot escape the assumptions of our own consciousness.

When the creative moment is entered into lovingly r

ather than for some desired effect,

 then and only then are we operating 

at the level of cause. 

This means that it isn't enough for us to visualize and such.

We have to become the thing we want, 

until all experience of lack has vanished

 in the joy of our having come home 

to our ideal.

Then, as far as we're concerned, the world can come along or not.

And the one who practices this way will discover a great secret indeed.

No Longer Willing to Settle for Less

"The truth is, we don't live in a reality.


We live at the intersection of many realities,
and any one of them can spring into expression
in a heartbeat,
the moment we are no longer willing
to settle for less,
and resting in that identity,
lay our silent claim."

Bagful of Beliefs

As you get out into the world,
or into new relationships,
there are others who want your agreement.

And so, you find yourselves
(bless your hearts)
upside down and all around
as you are trying to conform
to the primary stream of thought,
relative to subjects:

You want to do what’s
socially acceptable,
for you do not want to be
an outcast.

And, you want to do what’s politically correct,
because you do not want to be an outcast.

And, you want to do what your family expects of you,
because you don’t want to be disinherited.

And, you want to do what your religion says,
because you don’t want to be disavowed or go to hell

—which is far worse than any of the other things. (Fun)

Most of you have been using standards
or measurements
that are outside of you
and that have nothing
to do with you
in order to try to formulate
your thoughts or opinions
or attitudes, or actions.

And in the process,
what has happened is,
you have picked up an incredible hodgepodge of beliefs,
some of which serve you—some of which do not.

Most ... feel powerless in what comes to them
because they’ve been practicing this vibration
and practicing that vibration, and practicing that vibration,
and picking up thoughts and beliefs based upon the evidence
that the society produces around them.

And so now, you find yourselves often with a whole bagful of beliefs that are not serving you.

The thing that is
most hindering
is when you look
at what people
are living
and you gather your evidence or statistics,
and then you claim it
as true.

You say,

-
“It must be true.

They warned me about that, and sure enough, it happened.”

And what we are wanting so much for you to hear is:

What anyone is living...
-
your culture, your environment, your society,
your city, your family, your person
-
what anybody is living...
-
The truth, or the evidence that you are producing
is only the truth that manifests in response
to the habit of vibration that you offer.

So, when you look out into your society and you see something,
wanted or unwanted,
and
you proclaim it as true,
—

which is the reason that you give
that others should think about it,
write about it, talk about it, understand,
and accept it as truth,
—

do you feel how screwy that is?

That’s like saying,
“There’s something out there that I do not want,
but because somebody else created it in their experience
and it became their truth, now I must beat the drum of it,
and make it my truth, too.”

And we say, fortunately there are a variety of truths for you to pick from.

Fortunately, you are the creator of your own truth.

No one can write a book;
no one can start a movement;
no one can organize a religion.

No one can say,

“These are the things that are important for you to do,
and these are the things that
you must not do,”
-

because no one knows the mix of intentions
and the mix of beliefs that you hold.

You get to choose all of it.
