Departure — The Mystery of God 5
May: The Fusion of Love into a Character
Sunday, May 7, 2023 4:30 am
1. Let's start this month's installment of this series by focusing on two words or concepts. These are 'withholding' and 'allowance'. The human's idea of itself is wrapped around a separate identity and willpower. An identity that can choose between fear and love in each moment. It makes only one choice, however, because it can't choose something it doesn't understand. The soul's unconditional love is beyond the ego's understanding. The ego wants to protect against the soul's unconditional love. Because allowing unconditional love would mean loss of the ego's sense of control. Therefore logically the ego barricades itself and withholds.
2. What I am suggesting to you is that the ego never loves. It is nice sometimes. It makes kind gestures. It can be peaceful. It can choose to live in harmony with other egos. It can volunteer. It can donate funds to a charity. What it can't do is to do something without a reason. The ego's reason for doing is always one thing, which is the desire for a reward. The ego wants recognition. It wants to be thought of kindly by others.
3. Even when the ego is defensive and lashing out, it seeks to form alliances with like-minded individuals. What would be the reward for this kind of behavior? It is getting the stamp of approval from some and disdain from others. Long story short, the ego always wants something in return. Some will do anything to get a stamp of approval. They can be paraded on TV in shackles to an awaiting squad car. In this case, they may only have their own stamp of approval. Egos are even willing to be the lone voice. They may say that someone deserved the treatment that they themselves handed out.
4. When the unconditional love of God is expressed and infused into a character, the soul of God silences the ego. The soul says shush to the ego's nonsense and the ego is quiet momentarily. These moments gradually increase in frequency and gradually join with one another for longer segments without the ego's chatter and tyranny.
5. This is the work of the almighty God, my friends. The ego didn't do anything but obey. Wouldn't you if you were in its shoes? I'm not sure saying that the ego is choosing to obey, is quite right. For the soul is controlling the ego, which is happening at first for tiny microseconds, and eventually minutes and even hours at a time. Perhaps the ego likes to think that it is chooses to turn itself off, but this is being forced upon it and force isn't a choice.
6. When the soul starts to take over, the ego is in a state of ownership or conservatorship. It is placed on the back burner. It will still demand attention and rewards. It still wants to call the shots, but the soul can allow or silence the ego. The soul is really the One with the power, God's power. The ego can trick the character into choosing it out of habit, but it is the soul of God who can meld the character into a reflection of unconditional love. When this happens the character will perform acts of kindness for no reason at all as an expression of its nature, much to the ego's disappointment.
7. As a quick summary, you are a soul of God and you are navigating a human body, character, and ego. You are learning to express unconditional love all the time for no reason at all.
8. If you were a human character, it would make sense that you would choose love or fear. Maybe a more accurate description is that the character is learning to shush, and to allow God to express through it. The character is allowing the infusion of love to whatever degree the soul dictates.
9. I certainly hope I haven't lost anyone here. The question of who or what is choosing depends on who or what you understand yourself to be. The ultimate truth is that you are part of God and that you are slowly but surely taking over. Once you've made the switch in understanding your true identity, there really isn't a choice. It is a natural mandate.
10. The growth of the soul can be largely credited to spiritual resources, so keep reading everyone. These messages do more good than you may realize.
11. I will be with you again in June my lovely ones. Until then, love only, by allowing love and shushing. (smile)
12. Love, Mother Mary
