POWERFUL.
Today let us review these ideas:
1. (65) My only function is the one God gave me.
* Which is to forgive the ENTIRE SONSHIP OF CHRIST for thinking he could believe in separation from GOD or from ANY PART OF HIMSELF.
²I have no function but the one God gave me.
* That served me a long time and I held to it through some rough spots.
* Today I understand that there is some serious work to be done to grasp the concept of truly loving yourself and others.
* A lot of it has to do with seeing God in yourself and in others and knowing that it is HYMN that is buoying us up and not the labels or possessions or relationships that we believe we have manifested.
* This is about healthy boundaries, releasing co-dependent behaviors, and understanding that forgiving includes releasing old patterns of thought and behavior that no longer serve.
* It demands that you develop confidence in the fact that you have Father to rely on as do others and that to supply for them what they need from Father doesn’t do EITHER ONE OF YOU ANY FAVORS.
* It means making tough decisions and being willing to make mistakes. It means turning my life and the lives of those I love and cherish over to the care of FATHER through SPIRIT WITHIN THEM. Knowing that HE LOVES THEM EVEN MORE THAN I HAVE ANY CAPACITY TO.
* This does not mean neglect or abandonment. It means listening with all of your heart, mind, and strength to the instructions of FATHER through SPIRIT that dwells within YOUR HEART AND MIND.
³This recognition releases me from all conflict, because it means I cannot have conflicting goals.
⁴With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think.
* THIS IS A REMINDER THAT I ADORE because I want to remember it when I feel the energy pull from adults that want me to FIX what is not mine to fix and which they refuse to look to GOD FOR.
* And then I hear the children, and I see the plea in their eyes like I can make something different.
* ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT as we put HYMN into our experiences and KNOW that HE IS THERE and ASSISTING US to let go of that which has no bearing in eternal reality but that for a time we have to deal with because of belief in separation from God that we allowed into our minds.
* The work I do in sharing my testimony is for the Whole Sonship of Christ.
* I have no favorites. I have those who think I owe them or that they own me but I belong to God and HE GAVE ME A RIGHT TO EXIST AND HAVE EXPRESSION JUST LIKE HE GAVE TO THEM.
* The suffering they face are due to their belief in separation from HYMN and I cannot repair that FOR THEM. I can only repair it for myself and be an example of it.
⁵All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one God gave me.
2. More specific applications of this idea might take these forms:
²My perception of this does not change my function.
³This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me.
⁴Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.
* My function is to forgive the IMPOSSIBLE MOMENTARY BELIEF IN SEPARATION FROM GOD.
* My function is not to answer calls from others that say that I am the source of their salvation.
* I can love them and pray for them and help when prompted and able but it is not my responsibility to answer the ghostly cries of their egos that say they have been betrayed or abandoned or left destitute and that I am the fault or answer to their situation.
* Whoa! That is really heavy!
* And something that we feel all the time, I think without even realizing it.
* Now, there may be some who have it more than others and it can be sensed and manipulated by others as well.
* I sense that this is one of those emotional “coon calls” that feeds those who would live off of the energy of fear.
* I think that it is something that we all can relate to. I know that in the role of “mother” I have felt it keenly from many directions and as much as I would give ANYTHING “I” have to free my children “I” have nothing in reality because “I” am still a fictional character in the belief system of the ego=god. Only in the Mind and Will of GOD, the One Original Universal Father and Creator do I have ANY TRUE EXISTENCE.
* A “coon call” is a recording of a young coon in distress so that it draws out the adult so that it can be shot. Hunters in communities like South Dakota where pheasant hunting is a big deal want racoons to be killed off because they suck the eggs of the pheasants and mess with their income from the hunters if there are no pheasants to kill.
* To me this is a sad thing. That we feel it our right to kill off another species because of profit. I am not saying that I know all the answers here but I am saying that as part of the human race I do need to take a good look at what I am doing with my life and why.
3. (66) My happiness and my function are one.
* Jesus does say that the only true happiness is knowing that all will be set free in the truth of the Reality of GOD’s Existence and Relationship with His Son.
* Forgiving the Son for the belief in separation is what and how this is accomplished for myself and from myself to the Collective of Christ Consciousness as a whole.
* The reason that this embodies our happiness (and it does dwell inside you undisturbed like the peace that passes understanding and the joy in existence) is because TO BE “IN GOD” IS TO “BE.”
* It is to have existence and consciousness, along with the freedom to celebrate life and its expression as you choose. This, of course, would ALWAYS be within the parameters of what GOD IS because of WHAT GOD IS AS EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, CONTAINING ALL POWER AND ALL KNOWLEDGE.
²All things that come from God are one.
* This “one” needs to be understood as the WHOLE which can be and is of many parts rather than as a singular “something” which is obviously impossible IF GOD IS and HE IS.
³They (* “all things”) come from Oneness, and must be received as one.
⁴Fulfilling my function (*FORGIVENESS OF BELIEF IN SEPARATION AND THE RESULTS THEREOF IN THE SON’S NIGHTMARE) is my happiness (*AWARENESS OF THE ENTIRE SONSHIP IN ALL OF ITS PARTS SEEN AND UNSEEN AS FREE AND POWERFUL IN FATHER) because both come from the same Source (* FATHER’S EXISTENCE).
⁵And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.
* THIS IS HUGE! And it may not seem like it at first but trust me, it grows on you and you just know that freedom is that desirable. Here in the midst of the confusion about separation we have great difficulty understanding what freedom is, just as we do with love.
4. Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:
²This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
* ²This (* this would be a certain situation or circumstance you face) cannot separate my happiness (* my understanding that ALL HAVE ACCESS NOW to FATHER’s Power through forgiveness of the belief in separation from GOD) from my function (* to forgive the belief in separation from GOD by accepting HIS EXISTENCE and then allowing others to find HYMN as their answers to their challenges as well).
* This is hitting me powerfully. I needed to express it through writing because Father is asking me to receive it in my life and relations in this lifetime.
³The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this (* by this situation or circumstance).
* In other words, no circumstances or situations can alter the fact that GOD’S PRESENSE IS THE REALITY THAT I WANT TO SEE ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY OTHER DESIRE I MAY THINK THAT I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.
⁴Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.
* ⁴Nothing, including this(* situation or circumstance), can justify (* make real) the illusion of happiness (* knowing we are all free to know GOD) apart from my function (* which is to forgive the belief in separation from GOD).
* Note that implied in that sentence; true happiness is available because GOD IS what HE Says He Is.

To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
