careful what you asked for right the door message okay okay for the folks watching online the topics were everything ranging from spiritual technology speaking your truth discipline there were a few other cell phones and you know empowerment and so on okay you know so we're we're God God created us in its image you know so did you hear the world that we're created in God's image we're created in God so here's God and God created us in God and in its image so God just went hey I have an idea I'm going to create more of

me and so it's like it's just like intensified the light of God so this is great This Is Us so everything we think about self-empowerment self-improvement all the things we think about distractions and addictions they're just a bad dream but they all came from the same place there's a happy dream and a nightmare so we are as God created us to be but we imagined What would life be like if that weren't true but it's a question what if if it weren't true now people are walking around the planet

with depression and schizophrenia and uh relationship issues and addictions and and even happy things too all thinking that that defines who they are so we're actually living in a reaction to the notion of what life would be like if we weren't as God created us to be but there's a solution just be what God created you to be oh no no that's that's too much bliss all at once can we can we back this off just for a few billion years [Music] you know and we thought that was a good idea there's an old saying time exists to

keep everything happening all at once and and that has many meanings but one of them is and I said this last week it's procrastinating why are we this isn't God's plan God didn't actually say here's Bliss here's you bye and see if you can make it back you know like we're children thrown into a world a universe of lack it's a universe of lack you may not think that because people will say oh no the universe is abundant no it isn't because the people telling you the universe is abundant will die

and you can't die in an abundant Universe you can only die in a world of lack lacking immortality for example I know that they mean well and what they're saying is partly true because in the universe that we've created not God created God created an experience of bliss and we're in the Bliss of you know God and of Heaven but we decided to daydream that we were somewhere else so God created all this beauty love really cool and feeling really good about myself and then we said but what if life what

if we could be separate from God What would life look like if we could be the answer is you can't be oh okay back to Bliss so that's what creation is going to look like eventually it'll look like we were created we dreamed of leaving and the solution came right away because you can't be separate so in other words all of creation all of it all of time and universe and dimensionality all of that even in quantum physics is said that one day the Big Bang took place it all expanded and one day physics say it's going to

contract because the force of an explosion will eventually meet with another ball which is contraction so or gravity but it's contraction so an explosion caused us to separate and then eventually watch this it's separating because this explosion oh my God the universe was created the Big Mac and then eventually and it'll all come back together great that's physics quantum physics catching up with something that I can I can help him along if I if they would just listen for a second this thing that is you're waiting around

someday this will happen now if you ask them when they're gonna say could be 10 billion years but here's the answer the explosion what caused it well it was a primordial force of gas system no people it's Consciousness everything is consciousness everything we see is a result of Consciousness so then what caused the Big Bang religions would say well that's when God forced you out into the universe no God has nothing to do with this God never said I want you to separate and see if you can find your way back

when we said What would life be like like if we could separate that thought because thoughts create created the Big Bang so what do you think is going to cause it to stop separating and contract thought what kind of thought forgiveness forgiveness you know you're asking about things like um dealing with a life or the world despite the way things look how to be pick up your mind you know that what they might call in compute running program know that in the back of your mind this is already done because all things happen in a cycle in a loop

so the moment we thought we separated the Big Bang took place then we eventually and then Cosmos and then we moved into the universe and our solar system and then eventually to Earth and then Earth's incarnating over and over and over and over every so often stop and go to sirius for a stop off and then you know and then when things are really bad you go to Saturn and on and on and then you know lifetimes and then one day oh I have reached enlightenment oh I get to go home but the funny thing is you never left it was a just a momentary

one Split Second I wonder what life would be like if I could separate it started right there boom time illusion growth Karma I'm back but how much time went by if if this was 10 billion years ago that this happened what is the date when you get back 10 billion years ago because it ended where you started time is not linear so the good news is in the back of our minds we can go despite the way things look we are okay we're still in God not everything will eventually be okay which is a nice way to look at things but it

isn't the right the most accurate way everything is okay when you have affirmations and Science and mind treatments and so on prayers don't pray to get something to fix your life practice gratitude one of you asked about gratitude practice gratitude that it never happened practice gratitude that I'm already at the solution I'm already home not God if you have any spare time could you send me a miracle I'm actually still in God and it's right it's okay for me to affirm my Oneness with God

despite the way I feel everything's okay if you're in if you're in addiction of some kind go ahead and fight to recover or realize it's only the false you that's in the addiction the real use already cured because you never had the addiction and then work on your program knowing that you're already there in other words that's part of the reason why recovery says you know that bring God into your recovery program don't bring God because you need big guns because you're in a in a thing you

cannot succeed with recovery bring God in but it means this that I'm already in God which means there's a part of me that's already recovered and it'll make the recovery easier knowing there's a part of you that's recovered don't fight with that part don't let the ego broken part fight with the peaceful part just practice owning it's okay man I struggle every day picture that just being able to own that I struggle every day but then also say isn't this funny when you pray instead

of God I've got a terrible situation I've got addiction I can't fix I've got children that are messed up Etc just stop for a sec try this you're going to laugh God but this is I got a weird one for you today everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong and here's the funny part it's impossible nothing has power over me and yet I'm having surgery in an hour so the funny thing God I'm gonna go in and and do the and then sleep and then and then they're going to resuscitate me

and I'm gonna have visions while I'm out that I'm on the other side and I'm gonna think oh my God it changed my life because I'm going to see Jesus and Jesus and be hey uh good to see you welcome just want to let you know you're going to go back you know it'd be great to have you but it's not your time so be you know you know and then you're back and you're like wow I had this vision and you think you think you had something Supernatural happen which you did but the truth is you're Holier even

them the vision you just had of Jesus on the other side it is impossible for you to be sick it's impossible but we're here and that's actually funny that that Holy children of God you know can show up and have the lives we have I mean it's kind of weird ludicrous holy beings one with all that exists holy holy beings wow you know how we do like baby Jesus and Christmas and the Stars Bethlehem and wow and Jesus this amazing teacher he grows in the Beatitudes and peace and love and wow it's it's incredible but

the Holiness of that is just a tip of the iceberg of Who We Are we're holy beings and yet we act so strange you know we're like you know constantly obsessed with not being holy beings I'll be Holier if only I trim off this and staple that and do all these things to make myself seem prettier or more handsome you know I'm a holy being walk out your door I'm holy have a little something next to your door to remind yourself remember Holiness great I got it you get out the door and you see somebody oh baby wow look at you you're

a holy being you don't need legs you don't need somebody else's legs you know I'm a leg man what the hell are you thinking a leg man really you sound like you're a taxidermist or something thank you I don't know where these things come from legs you know hanging you know here and there you know just a leg is that your affirmation of Who You Are see is that your affirmation well I'm just I'm looking for my something what if you're a holy being now I'm saying that and I find it funny but

but we're here for now we seem to be here for now so for now it is it is right to have a partnership if you want one it is right to have children if that's what you want to do it's right to enjoy Root Beer Floats or whatever you like it's fine just don't take it too seriously because it isn't who you are this is a game we're playing what if we were separate what would like be life be like if I could separate well I can't separate from all that is that doesn't make sense but what if I could well this is what it

would look like instead of Oneness we'd have separation instead of abundance we would have lack instead of wholeness you'd have sickness it makes total sense all we're doing is living the virtual reality program of being separate from God how do you get out of this well you can't just pretend it didn't happen what has to happen is you have to go from Bliss God and we made our way down to this world which is kind of a nightmare in case that's not obvious and you can say oh Michael's you know so

negative it's not a nightmare really wait till someone you love dies and you stand at their graveside going with tears you know why did this happen that's a nightmare that is not God's will okay lack not being able to pay your bills you know folks online as well please understand this it may sound like it's a negative statement to say it's a world of lack it is a world of lack God's world which is hidden behind the veil of lack is abundance we need more of that to come forward but if you think life is abundant move

to Sedona and try to rent some place God I mean I'm not saying you can't buy a house it's just that you pay three times what it's worth it you know I mean that's is that a world of black yes you lack Health when you're sick you lack health okay when you're not being able to pay your bills you're lacking finances when you are unhappy it's all about lack and lack comes from separation we're not separate therefore you can't lack anything therefore all these other things that are symptoms don't really

have power but we've disempowered ourselves and we play this game so imagine it this way there there are three levels of consciousness God's reality and I'll skip the middle one for a second an illusion down here in between is the concept of fantasy but there's ego-based fantasies and spirit-based Fantasies so what I'm saying there is to get back home you can't just go from illusion to God's reality you actually have to go the same way we got here which is we went from Total God to semi-god to Earth

where we sort of still Remembered in the middle there sort of still remembered our Divinity but then we fell in fell and fell and now we live as mere mortals and so to get home we have to reawaken that middle group that middle realm God's reality is pretty simple it's the Bliss of God that you know I mean thank God you can't change that but what you can do is even though I can't know the total reality of God what I can do is have glimpses so don't expect perfect Holiness all the time you know like for example you might

struggle in your life and then you do a prayer and a miracle happens don't expect the miracle to sustain don't expect that when you saw patient you're now only going to see purple or whatever color you like or saw it it will fade because there's the total knowingness of God if you have the total knowingness you can't remain in a body your body isn't designed to totally hold holiness it's designed as a thing of Separation meaning mortality or limitedness as soon as I awaken to who I am I start to

activate every cell starts to Quicken and turn to light every time you meditate it's happening a little every time you forgive it's happening every time you live in a consciousness of love it's happening that's why you find yourself Time Flies why because I'm having fun because I'm waking up even if you don't know that it's happening energetically or in your body physiologically neurologically it's happening your chakras start to you know lighten up a bit more your aorus or you

know a little more present it's kind of cool it's a light show it's like wow you know you just feel alive but you know what if somebody told me Michael you get to have a wish you either get to have a bright brilliant golden white aura or be a nice person go with the nice person option because one is special effects and the other is helping people so some people that have passed over and and were ascended masters they didn't have to come back chose to do so anyway because it's almost impossible to pass over

become an ascended master and choose to stay there when you realize how much you love everyone that was left behind it's almost almost impossible to not offer to come back it's just the way it is we we you know we love each other deep down we love each other we want to help but on the spiritual path there's this linear brain we have the ego that that even wants to turn spiritual Notions into something limited like uh you know gee I've woken up so I get to leave and not have to deal with stuff

that you people have to deal with you know that doesn't last when you really wake awake in the mind the consciousness so there's the reality of God and then there's glimpses of that reality so reality has two parts God's reality and glimpses and glimpses are fleeting they're per they're great don't get me wrong I'm not saying there's something wrong I'm saying thank God we have them but they are fleeting in other words you have a brilliant Insight a brilliant meditation

and everybody's had at least once in their life one of those moments everybody even the cruelest crazy person still has a moment where God tried to talk to them it's just that we don't listen that much and the world is saying no no no to that to your rising and energy you're rising in Consciousness you're quickening your Ascension and so the world is not supportive of that the world ego-based world wants to deplete us depress us disparate us so have we wake up and we're just like walking in this

wow the reality of wow we mentioned do you live in it's called wow I mean it's like you're right it's awesome you know just like in Wonder now now think about what that looks like as I'm illustrating it here just and do you notice that I'm looking like a child you know Christmas oh my God it's Christmas this is great this is I'm Awakening it's childlike be as children to get to the kingdom and that's what it means you're it's not people think of it as being um like a lack of Education a child it

doesn't make any sense no it's more the attitude of wonderment the the wow factor love forgiveness oh my God a miracle that's the child we're looking for so we awaken to that and we start these glimpses of God I had a meditation that was a wow I had this that was a wow making love it was a wow and whatever else in your life forgiveness process meditations whatever we're doing a new health regimen anything that's like yes yes yes those are all the childlike State of Consciousness but those are

glimpses of God they're not totally God your most Sublime meditation is not total Oneness with god it feels like it but the fact that it faded afterwards proved that it wasn't the real thing yet that doesn't mean we've done something wrong and don't belittle that it's how it's going to be on earth you're going to have glimpses you're going to have moments where you fill up at the Oasis of God now so that's the reality of God the world of Illusion the one down here you know

um is clearly the world of fear anything anytime we're living in in like a fear-based Consciousness it's you know it's it's ego some people say I don't know when it's coming from me go think about it you'll know if something you're thinking or feeling is resonating with lack fear attachment it's it's ego based we don't want to call it that because it makes it sound like we're missing something but it's what it is it's just coming from the ego so there is this other world and I'm going

to call it fantasy in between those two negative fantasies are ego based such as wanting something you don't have coveting um you know uh fantasies like like trying to pray for things of this world instead of the consciousness of God those are negative fantasies I'm calling it fantasy because people are doing this middle process still with some amount of what seems like prayer or something spiritual but it isn't you're going to the world of fantasy to wake up but you're asking for things that are not

about Awakening bring my partner back I'm seeing them now somebody was telling me the other day about a a video that's out there on on how to practice visualization to get into your life even people that don't want anything to do with you that's called black magic but they don't they're not calling it that they're calling it I won't name you know what they're because then you might it might be taken to heart that I'm naming somebody or some technique but how to get somebody

to do with you to come back into your life or to if you're not in love with me we're already done I don't want to make your brain start to fire he's not so bad kinds of neurons if I have to talk you into liking me wow it's just too much work so that's negative fantasy negative fantasies you know are like I don't believe in karma therefore there's no such thing no that's a negative fantasy just because you delude yourself doesn't mean it's true so negative fantasy is like trying not

just literally imagining things that aren't healthy to imagine but it's also being attached and holding on to old things that aren't true they're not accurate positive fantasy is like affirming your health even when you seem sick positive fantasy means I'm affirming the reality of God where there doesn't seem to be God's presence but I'm right to do that because God is the only thing real positive fantasy is to say I believe in and I affirm the presence of angels and fairies even when I'm living with demons

and goblins trolls it's right for you to affirm angels and fairies it's right that's a positive fantasy you know why because they actually do exist trying to do it the other way around oh I wish there were those but there's only demons you're trying to affirm that which doesn't exist therefore it's a negative neutral worthless fantasy it doesn't do us any good so the use of affirmation you're talking about one of you said um discipline and one of you asked about speaking your truth

whose truth Your Truth well wait before you speak your truth if I'm in your life I would prefer that you speak God's truth otherwise what you're telling me is your opinions I I don't want to like disempower you but I'm actually not that interested in your opinions about gender about government no offense like I don't mean to to sound like cold I mean there's lots of people that might be interested I bet there's websites you know on haters.

com or something and go on and just share all your opinions about life even if it's I don't believe in God or I I whatever it is stuff go find it I personally am not interested that doesn't mean I'm not interested in you as a soul I'm just not interested in this stuff the conversation so speak your truth really means to practice speaking the truth of God to get to speaking the truth of God you got to go from not speaking the truth to speaking your truth than to what speaking God's truth you got to kind of go that direction you can't just go from

completely capability of speaking any truth to God's truth it's not that common to have happen that way so you know come out you know come out let nurture the throat chakra nurture the word start speaking positively at all and then God can more easily capture that throat Center and start channeling through you speak kind words and God can take it from there if you're saying no no no no hate hate hate you're you're already affirming your unwillingness for God to come through so you can't speak God's truth

you don't even have any truth at all you're speaking just opinions and opinions are worthless and they actually are worthless they have no value whatsoever because nothing you're saying is true none of it's accurate they're just it's hearsay and and the word you asked discipline it takes discipline to get home technically we're not separate we're already there but because we've forgotten Who We Are our mind goes into all kinds of negative fantasy negative fantasy is when you think you

have a problem and something outside of you will fix it you see that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the negative fantasy of using an aspirin to cure a headache it just doesn't cure it but what I'll do is I'll play along with using the negative fantasy I'll take the aspirin but then I'll use the positive fantasy to say despite thinking that I still need an aspirin I'm really grateful to know that all I need to do is correct my thoughts correct my mind somewhere in here there was a conflict

and it created a headache whatever the conflict was even without knowing what it was I'm giving it to you God because it had nothing to do with your will generally that conflict has to do with a judgment an opinion that someone or something was what it isn't such as somebody's a bad person that's not who they really are so I'm putting energy into that person being a bad person even when you think you're right no no no this time I'm right I don't agree with judgments generally but this time I'm right that person's

just a jerk okay how do you how do you know and what part of them their personality Behavior do you know that the personality and behavior is part of a nightmare dream which means you're actually talking as though something that's a dream is a reality that's like saying I was flying last night I jumped off a cliff and flew go ahead try it now I wouldn't recommend it it doesn't work well so why would you want to take fantasy dreams negative fantasies and and nightmarish dreams and act like they're

true or real it's not who you are so relax back off with this own that my thoughts are going somewhere they don't need to be going I don't have to know what I thought just know that if you're experiencing something that is not God's presence which is love peace Joy abundance then you must have had a misthought the word sin is what religion calls our bad Deeds but sin is actually just the same as a mistake that's where it comes from it means you missed the mark as an Archer so you it's just a mistake so

Jesus says in A Course in Miracles what do you do with that you correct it you just yeah you remember I said in the newsletter I think or somewhere recently you know it's just like saying cut take two that's it now now imagine a director somebody flubs up their line in a movie director cut imagine if all the actors just oh God you know well I blew my line let's oh I'm never gonna be an actor again let's all quit every actor is going to mess up their line some at some point and you know most of the time they laugh

sometimes they cuss but often they laugh you know why because it's no big deal take two that's all now if a person wants to keep messing up their lines then they start cussing they get frustrated and then the budget's going over and and that's the world we've created instead of just take two drama that nobody ever gets anything right I can never get that raise I can't find a rental or whatever it happens to be that's just the world we fabricated I mean God created us and said you're in

my image and said now all of your thoughts that you bring forth that you that you conjure up they will mirror to you because that's what creators do they think a thought gee God had one that said let there be light poof and then light was created and God can't think anything other than that because of what God is so all it did was think more of itself and it expanded itself when it created us but it gave us the the right to have free will you you know so so Michael how did we end up creating illusion if God

can't create illusion because God said I'm giving you free will you you can have the option of imagining you could have different thoughts but you can't Michael the rule is thoughts are things you remember ever hearing that thoughts are things so here's how this works if thoughts are things is that a true law or isn't it it is if thoughts are things and we thought to separate from God then technically the separation in all this world is real right no you know why because only thoughts that you really

can think manifest and Only Love Is that rule Only Love Can Be thought all else is just imagining it's negative fantasy so we use positive fantasy to remember who we are and affirm our right to be home negative fantasy is misusing our mind and thinking that thoughts all thoughts are things no only the thoughts that can be thought when we're thinking lack and limitation fear separation you're not actually thinking you're actually not utilizing your mind your only kind of contemplating like I wonder what if

well just because you say what if doesn't mean it happened what if and it doesn't mean it happened so correcting all of this is much simpler than we ever imagined what is instead of what if what is is God what if is anything but God so why give what if the very wording what if it's hypothetical isn't it so why inflate it with and color it with reality I was just wondering what it would be like what if I could and you can't what if I could be sick what would that look like it would look like this so

technically when you use affirmation or a positive thought or forgiveness all you're doing is shifting from the hypothetical what if into the real what is so you didn't get cured by God you'd actually just accepted what is you see what I mean by that what is let me welcome in what is let me welcome in the real the presence of God so there's the reality of God there's illusion choose whom you will serve choose which one you will feed and and yes this world has been put in a trance the world and its

inhabitants put into a trance of limitation we think when someone dies they're actually gone they're actually still right here because there's only Oneness in God and we play this game and we created dimensionality that like we can't know God because it's a higher dimension it's here right behind a veil you just have to move the veil Buddhist to see it Heaven is right here you just have to move the Bell how do I move that Veil there's always somebody that'll sell you an herbal concoction to do it

that's not actually going to work it's just a negative fantasy why am I calling it a negative fantasy because you're thinking that something outside of yourself can give you something did I say it's bad actually no just call it what it is I would recommend that you try to take all your negative fantasies look at them and choose positive versions of it that's all go ahead still have the surgery which is a negative fantasy if I just have the surgery I'm going to be better it's going to fix me it can't fix you it's

just an outer thing but forgive yourself for believing it the surgery will become miraculous thank you everything can be changed into something miraculous if we put the right mindset into it that's all so it's to me it's quite beautiful what do we need to do to get home I need to nothing that's from the Dao that's Buddhist that's Christ Consciousness it's course and miracles I need do nothing it and people interpret these things to like to reinforce their lack of anything getting anything done

no I I used to do stuff but now I I need do nothing you know I'm it's like the Dao says don't do within the doing unless you don't unless you do and it's like now I'm in the doo-doo uh I didn't pay my bills now I'm up creek and and I went to the bank and said look even on my checks I have a Taoist quote right there you know because it's very Cosmic like they don't care do without doing means this you're still doing you're in the world of doing every thought is a stream rushing by in

the Kingdom of doing it's an earth wind fire line every thought it's and it brings life to the kingdom of doing all of my thoughts are constantly feeding the reality the world of doing now doing is called efforting I've got to make this work I've got to make this happen I've got to work more hours to get more that's all the world of doing what it means to do without doing means to be lined up with God and then do and what happens it's called efficiency or Mastery because you're plugged into God

you don't go to the grocery store three times in 24 hours because you keep forgetting stuff you'll be blessed you'll you'll be aware of what's needed and you'll know just what to and it'll happen you just live in the zone you're guided just before you turn that corner to slow down because there's a cop I'm just making up examples mind you but how how beautiful there are people that don't know that they've done this they were lifting something and then they went I'm going to wait and get some

help they were this close to blowing out their back and they heard something now you don't know that because you didn't blow out your back you know when you did that but when it didn't happen you don't know that right so the miraculous living in the zone with God we can just take for granted because there's no obvious often there's not an obvious amount of support to show it that's part of the ego hiding us from goodness but the bad oh my God it always is so obvious so living in the zone and owning that we

can live in the zone oh my God what a beautiful thing so give thanks even though this is part of give thanks without seeing believe without seeing includes believe that when you started the day prayerfully I swear to you it erased some dramas that were going to happen and I'm sorry that you don't get to have evidence there's not a printout here are the things you know you know laser printer okay oh my oh whoa that's not gonna happen I apologize I would love for it to happen so you could all feel better but it's not gonna

usually happen you might intuitively recognize oh my God I saw that that almost happened you might because that's the only way you'll know is getting in touch with your soul and then the intuition comes through more clearly but generally it's impossible that you start your day with God and not have things dramas erase that could have blown up every time there's an almost illness you won't know that you know oh scratchy throat you know you know and you go home and gargle this and you take the extra rest and you don't

know that close to a virus getting you right but you don't think we take it for granted practice at the end of every day what did I do right today anything I've done wrong let me heal and forgive good but what did I do right today I listened I slowed down you know it was great I took a nap and I don't take naps good job I I did some extra vitamins or whatever it is why did I do that it must if you did anything good it must have come from the voice of goodness so just own it I really am close to God

God's voice speaks to me all through the day and I'm so grateful I'm at a program today whether you were brought here by somebody or you came here on your own you tuned in online spontaneously or you're irregular still there are so many other things you could be doing on this planet right now and you're here if you like this at all it means you chose well and you should be grateful you should say thank you not just to God for being here with us but to yourself for learning to learn the easy way

so in in closing yeah in closing the concept of doing not doing it just means doing without the effort of of myself trying to make things happen when you try to make somebody fall in love with you when you try to make somebody come back to you why I mean why would you even do that think about this use common sense probably you've prayed several times first of all to get rid of them now now you want them back yeah because I don't want to die alone I don't want to be your I'm not going to die alone kind of

go-to like that's just weird can't you think any more positively than that you know okay they're gone let that be if you've done what you can you've done what you can now let it be now go into the being instead of doing do from being instead of from doing instead of forcing and pushing things to happen in ancient times people were still so plugged in they could levitate rocks they could not eat nothing mattered because there was no doing in the times of lemuria there was just the the confidence was there to know if

all I have to do this is where Shamanism partly came from all I have to do to know the properties of a plant is imagine myself in the plant and I can know its properties how do I know because I'm it the downside way back is that when we projected ourselves into things we often forgot how to get back out but that's another conversation or do we go there now no no oh that's where Greek mythology came from and all the creatures with half this and half bodies and that was us projecting into things and Mis

you know genetically manipulating ourselves but anyway um so in closing come from the being how do I get to the being Michael that sounds really cool every day that you're kind every day that you practice love and forgiveness you are getting back to God but do see the difference between your negative fantasies trying to make something happen that isn't happening start identifying those things it's don't shame yourself see it and forgive yourself and then call upon positive fantasy call on positive fantasy what is

positive fantasy call in reality to replace illusion you know life happiness I have every reason to be sad today but put on shining star the song Whatever Makes You tick whatever floats your boat you know whatever makes you get up it's it's you know whatever it works for you it could be well by the way by the way whatever makes you walk through the living room with a little more you know zip yeah feeling kind of BG's today whatever it could be um worship songs tunes of Ananda you know it's yeah right what whatever because

whatever you selected came from a deeper place inside it knew what song was going to make you move a little smile a little and you might say yeah but this stuff is still happening it's still depressed ah you changed your neurology it's like tapping it Alters your neurology a little so when you played a song that just or you watched a movie that had courage in it that you can identify with your choosing to thaw out you don't want to become immobilized you don't want to become Frozen because that

is hopelessness don't shame it I get why I feel so hopeless today I get it some really harsh things happened yesterday and it's really taken the wind out of me and I can feel this for years if I want I just don't want to it's not reality of God it's not who I am so I think what I'm going to do is go to a different place God what would you have me feel today what would you have me think I'm still not feeling uplifted I'm starting with some prayer but uh you know music song try something different

put on some the right movie incense whatever works for you walk in nature right find it find the magic for yourself that's positive I immediately went from negative fantasy of I'm terrible I'm depressed to positive fantasy just a song and it switched Me Over Am I all the way home no but in positive fantasy I start to see glimpses of glimpses of God okay and that will change everything and remember to give thanks when you see and feel that shift please take a few centering breaths not putting a lot of effort to go

somewhere we're already there [Music] today's music this Center our intentions our friendships it's already creating a Vibe here I don't have to work hard to go somewhere [Music] start giving thanks and we're already shifting to that place [Music] positive fantasy it emerges from a sincere willingness in US catch glimpses of God's reality and you don't have to know what that is or what it looks like the reality of God in this moment I affirmed that I am

perfectly welcome to able to conjure up all kinds of lack and limitation it's not my will it's not of interest to me and I back away from that and I I instead go to negative fantasies to try to fix my world I'm done with that the negative fantasy that a drink or smoke or whatever it is would make me feel better I'm done I'm gonna go into the positive fantasy of who I really am which will bring me eventually to the reality of who I am but I get it no thank you to illusions no thank you to the voice of the ego and fear and

lack no thank you not interested negative fantasy you don't really give me anything of value so no need [Music] momentarily to the place of positive fantasy that I am as God created me despite the way things look or feel I am healthy and whole there's a part of me that is perfectly recovered [Music] perfectly prosperous and I have to accept this and own this before it becomes my only reality let the music carry you to deeper and deeper places of that knowingness [Music] foreign

problems and do your human things but true spirituality is getting the forward programs to eventually give way and surrender to the program running in the background which is I am part of God and I am very holy okay anyone else forgiving ourselves that's right yes doing from a place of being absolutely did you have one well basically it's not try to make things happen to not try to make things happen yes yes in the uh first of uh January we're going to do a workshop co-creating a new life we do that every year and I'm going

to share some brand new things that I want to share with folks to help them activate ways of co-creating with God that's going to be really really cool a couple more people who had their hands up yes um for me that was a really good question to contemplate why do we will not have people in your life the great question why would you want to manifest people in your life that you don't want in your life or that don't want to be in your life you know I mean come on right one more here yeah yeah right right

yeah first of all own where and when you have negative fantasies which isn't easy to own because some of them are but I want my partner back and isn't that just normal what are you saying Michael that I shouldn't have a partner you know trying to wind me into regretting telling you that no I'm saying I want you to find one that's good a decent person don't get back to people you've had five sessions with me on getting rid of you know oh yeah um I got tears on that one a couple more

quick yes attitudes of gratitudes will change your perception of where you are you know give thanks for the lessons you learned the harsh ones and goodbye and give thanks for the positives because that'll bring more of those in the back right remembering to accept what really is God's reality not what the world's telling you well you just have to accept it no Gods why not go with that one that's like the dating thing again why go with settling rather than what could be like God's reality beautiful

further up forward who was it okay gone yes yeah it's not that you don't do anything oh the people that do that oh my god oh well I just don't you know a contractor who doesn't show up oh I was just being well yeah you'd be fired I know you know I want somebody that actually shows up oh man you're like you know you're you're like disempowering me oh don't get me started you're already disempowered when you didn't show up and keep your agreement show up or or just don't but don't hire

don't let anybody hire you just put on your website closed forever you know worthless you know I mean we're here to make a difference so don't think God wants you to do nothing it means don't effort anything don't force or make things happen get in the zone with God and you'll see the magic the real magic the positive fantasy please stand for our closing prayer um before we let you all go uh a couple of quick things if you're visiting from out of town even if you're local remember we have the crystal bed uh

healing room if you're interested talk to the bookstore or the staff in the office about that yes and I'm going to have Ananda mention something what he's doing here today and he's got products in the foyer remember that yeah here come here please hi everybody thank you so much again um today I have a cacao ceremony I'm leading a cacao ceremony just a very beautiful heart-centered ceremony where we'll be um sharing and communing with Earth and mother and um through the spirit of cacao and it's

buy them online so they should have them available now and um let's see what's a date today okay so that one's not here okay um I think that's all the announcements I just wanted to share oh two quick things some of you have asked about in your generosity how do you leave things if you'd like to leave things donate things I'm talking about if you want to leave them if you were to move on Ascent or whatever um we do have a a checklist in the office now um that you can look at and consider

um it's where you would tell us what what you want us to do if if you were to pass away and you want to leave things or what kinds of things because we don't want to be talking to your family okay um so there's a form that you can deal with there but one last thing I've talked about this a long time ago these are some beautiful cards that came through somebody and um they're light bearers Angel guidance cards these are these are the the proofs of them we only have like I think 10 of these in the bookstore

um they're they're retail price when they come out is going to be 30 something um but we're going to sell them for 10 but that's because they're proofs so there's a a typo here and there a spelling a grammar you know if you wanted to get them for 20 bucks instead we have the their proofs of those available um and what I love about this is I said this a long time ago maybe as much as a year there's a new wave of angelic beings coming into the to our universe our portion of the universe a new wave

of angelic beings they're not just Angels or or uh or archangels there's another wave of these beings that have come in to help bridge people home and these angels are besides having some Angels and Archangels in here there's some of these other Angels being presented who they are what they do and how to connect with them okay so yeah it's beautiful and if you're online you can and call and order them too and while supplies last as they say because then they'll do the master print probably in a month or so

they'll just cost more okay so God bless you and thank you for being with us let's breathe with attitude of gratitude what another amazing energy remembering the tones we were doing and the universe was bringing back to us recalling the friendships the hugs we shared wow nice ah spiritual family Thanksgiving giving thanks for all our goodness and preparing for the mass of Christ Consciousness and Christ's Ascension a mass of us Awakening to the inner Christ the light of God surrounds us the love of God unfolds us
