DETECT THE LIE
Experiment with this in order to see through the lie, the deception, that suffering is all there is.
What you have to do: You’re to know altogether that the way you’re now living and trying to find peace of mind, security and safety, that you have never found it and never will this way. Your consciousness of the fact that you have only a trembling self is to be followed by remembering that you are lied to many times a day by part of this insecure nature, false mind. In the great final lie it says, “If you leave me you will be in pain. Something bad will happen to you.” “That’s what I have now! You’re threatening me with something I already have.” Detect the lie and dare to accept what Truth tells you about your condition, instead of what the dark forces tell you. Know the urgency of this, the necessity of it.
God has given you, inside of you, one bit of intelligence — the chooser — which can agree to follow the instructions from heavenly headquarters to get up and go out and face every terror in the haunted house. You must do it. You will get unafraid.
Every human being who has ever found his true nature, who has ever become united with God, who has ever been saved, who has exchanged his sick nature for a healthy nature, became aware and realized the futility of sitting in the closet and putting oneself to sleep every few hours and blanking out again. He heard that God has provided a plan whereby he can get outside of himself. Outside of the haunted house.
Key words: Dare to defy darkness. Dare to listen to the voice of light. There is freedom from the closet, but you have to do what you have to do in order to attain it. Be willing to have your whole egotistical self collapse completely so God can tell you the right direction. What you will know is that there is eternal life. You will be out of time completely. You will be living with who you really are.
HOW TO GAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE
Don’t you dare ever do anything about your miserable wretched life.
Important: The one way that you or anyone will ever find control over your life is to have no control whatever. Any attempt for you to try to figure out what’s best for you will fail. Any attempt to feel good will fail, including watching TV, associating with people who make you feel good. Feeling good is really the absence of getting excitement over everything that is you.
All this is schoolwork you have to go to work on. You have tests every day.
Make a conscious wish, decision to let Truth tell you how to take the next step, where to go, what to say. This means acknowledging that you don’t know what to do. You don’t have control over yourself, so you say, “I will consciously decide to choose God and Truth.” That is already a declaration that you don’t know what to do or where to go.
The spiritual condition can change the human condition. It increases the ability to know the only thing that can help you take the next step up is something that is not you. Behind the words is the spiritual power.
Now you make a deliberate conscious decision to allow God to rule your life. Who, what is ruling your life now? Ghastly! You have been taking and obeying orders from the dark, downhill course. What is ruling your life is something simply awful. Now that you see how bad it is, so awful, you made another mistake with a question, “But how can I change it?”
Temptation comes and you start to interfere with what God is trying to do for you. The way to trust God is to no longer trust yourself. Yielding to God is to no longer trust yourself anymore. To really be on the side of God is the only peace. Dedicate yourself to get yourself out of the way and you’ll know what it means to live from the Spirit of Truth.
