Willingness is something that yeah, you have, you have
to offer, that's why in A Course in Miracles he keeps just saying, just offer your little willingness.
He says it over and over and over in the Course. Just offer your little willingness.
And he does, one place in the Course where he
basically says it takes great willingness to see that all events and outcomes and situations
are helpful, are for your good.
So there's all these little willingness's,
and one great willingness in which, which would be all things work together for good, there are no exceptions
and everything is the divine flow.
Nothing has ever been wrong. Some of you might have seen when I post
that Oprah Winfrey talk on,
I posted where she was like saying, "There are no mistakes."
"We, there are really no mistakes. You can never make," You know she's all lit up.
It's just that moment of, of starting to see there's a perfection there.
And it always has been. It wasn't that the mistakes were real, you know, they were tricks too,
to bring guilt.
So, ultimately the willingness is something that you can and must offer, that's why every day
you know, I am willing.
I am here only to be truly helpful. You know
"Here I am Lord," is what Jesus gave Helen to tell Bill Thetford, you know he wanted a prayer and
she gave him Here-I-am-Lord. A four word prayer for Bill.
You know, "Here, here give this to Bill. He'll use it, he'll need this because he can't he won't get lost in this."
Here I am Lord. That was the phrase that Jesus gave through Helen to Bill to really focus on.
And, you could even have a three
word prayer: I am willing. You know as you wake up in the morning.
I am willing for miracles. I am willing to open my heart. I am willing to follow you Holy Spirit.
I am willing to serve your plan God. You know you can put
whatever variation you want it, but that's what you can offer. You can offer willingness and
the more you offer it the broader it gets
towards that great willingness, you know that's, that's beyond
anything of this world. It's a different way of looking at the world is what,
what the ultimate outcome is. It's a different perspective on the world. It's the Holy Spirit's forgiven world, it's the highest you can go.
Now readiness is one of those things that
human beings can't even begin to comprehend readiness because it's not something that's time
and, it's not in time and space.
Some of you are familiar with the Urantia book and in the Urantia book, it says that Jesus went through lifetimes
of preparation to be ready for his bestowal as the Christ.
In other words work, there was like, I think seven bestowals
which isn't bad when you hear about some of these past life regressions
150 - what! [laughing]
"Am I the dunce of the universe?" or whatever, you know. So Jesus had seven
seven, seven bestowals and then the seventh bestowal was
was the Christ lifetime, was the waking up. You've heard Gary Renard - Disappearance of the Universe,
talk about, it's not my time this lifetime, but next lifetime
I get, you know enlightened, and then there's
talk of different ones and different lifetimes but, so you see he had to be ready
we'll say from that metaphor, number 7, lucky 7. It was, he was ready to
go all the way to accept the Atonement, we'll say, from that perspective in that lifetime.
Other lifetimes all point you to the same direction because there's only one direction to go and that's God.
It's not like there's multiple dimensions
and you know, you can, I want to see this God in this
galaxy and go, we've got that God over in that galaxy.... No there's just one God! And so it's all one direction, but it's how
how ready am I to accept the Atonement?
And that's what I was talking about with readiness,
but it's not something that, that can be grasped by humans because it's almost like
if you had to throw human words to it, almost like the accumulation of readiness
from however many bestowals or lifetimes
you seem to have lived, you're just building the momentum
building that momentum
and that's what even Eastern texts, when they talk about karma and reincarnation, that you keep
incarnating and reincarnating coming towards perfection.
You're moving through time and space
and being carried and drawn back by the Light back into the Light as the Light.
And that's what awakening is.
