Once you have found your Self, you may wish to begin to move out from the Self, to create a
newer world. To do this, touch others as you would have your Self be touched. See others as
you would have your Self be seen.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Exactly. Embrace others as you would seek to embrace Me, for when you embrace others,
you do embrace Me.
Embrace all the world, for all the world embraces who and what I am.
Reject nothing of the world, and no one in it. Yet while you are in the world, and the world is
in you, remember that you are larger than it. You are the creator of it, for you are creating
your own reality as surely as you are experiencing it. You are both the creator and the
created, as am I.
I am made “in the image and likeness of God.”
Yes. And you can choose to have the experience of being the creator, or that which is
created, at any given moment.
I can choose to be “in this world, but not of it.”
You are learning, My friend. You are taking the knowledge I have given you, and turning it
into wisdom. For wisdom is knowledge applied. You are becoming a messenger. We are
beginning to speak with one voice.
Making friends with You really does mean making friends with all people, and with
everything—every circumstance and condition.
Yes.
What if there is a person or condition that you would rather not see continue having an effect
in your life? What if there is a person or condition that you find hard to love, that you find
yourself wanting to resist?
What you resist, persists.
Remember that.
The solution, then?
Love.
Love?
There is no condition, no circumstance, no problem that love cannot solve. This does not
mean that you must submit to abuse. We have discussed this before. It does mean that love,
for yourself and others, is always the solution.
