Be aware of the Mind in you that defines who you are.

Title: IF I WERE GOD

If you were God, would you want your human creation to be happy - to have life work out well for each individual?

Of course you would. I know I would - if I were God!

Well, suppose you and I were to start TODAY being consistent in accepting this conclusion. You do believe it, don't you? Answer for yourself. I am sure I believe it.

Can God be human? You and I probably believe God is more than human. But can God be less? I don't see how.

So we both believe God is more. A good place to begin. And we both see that it is reasonable that God - being more than human - having created humanity - has the capacity to really want each of us human beings to be happy - wants our life to work out well.

Here is my idea. No matter where we find our state of mind on a given day, on a given moment, let us remember that God wants us to be happy, wants our life to work out wel1. So let us diligently work with our attitudes so that we are able to feel a rush of happiness, of well-being, of certainty, of gratitude. And then resolve to be so open to what God wants for us that it can't fail to take place.

This is my idea, and I'm going to live this way - from the moment on February 3, 2007 when I am journaling these ideas for both of us.

P.S.: It is all-important that we understand what is meant by "the Mind in you that defines who you are." By this we mean the Christ Mind which is the individuation of God in each of us as eternal souls or units of God-creativity. This is our potential; the Jesus Christ consciousness is the recognition and the application of this wonderful Truth.

You and I - and all human beings - are functioning in varying degrees of this consciousness. But it is important that we understand that the development of the Jesus Christ consciousness is progressing in each and everyone of us and beyond appearances! It is indeed a work in progress, and we are doing the work. Our participation is crucial!
