Let me get this straight. You should accept anything, even those things you disagree with?
Accepting something does not mean refusing to change it. In fact, the opposite is true. You
cannot change that which you do not accept—in yourself especially, and outside of yourself
as well.
Accept everything, therefore, as the divine manifestation of the divinity within you. Then you
declare yourself to be its creator, and only then can you “uncreate” it. Only then can you
recognize-that is, know again—the power within you to create something new.
To accept something is not to agree with it. it is simply to embrace it, whether you agree with
it or not.
You would have us embrace the devil himself, wouldn’t You?
How else will you heal him?
We have had this exchange before.
Yes, and we will have it again. Over and over will I share with you these truths. Over and
over will you hear them, until you hear them. If you catch Me repeating Myself, it is because
you are repeating yourself. You are repeating every behavior, every action, every thought,
which has brought you over and over again to sadness, to misery, to defeat. Yet the victory
can be won, the victory over this devil of yours.
Of course, there is no devil—as we have also discussed many times before. We are
speaking metaphorically here.
How can you heal that which you will not even hold? You must first hold something firmly in
your grasp, firmly in your reality, before you can let it go.
I’m not sure I understand. Help me to understand that.
You cannot drop something you do not hold. Therefore, Behold! I bring you glad tidings of
great joy.
God is totally accepting.
Humans are very excepting.
Humans love each other except when those others do this or do that. They love their world
except when it does not please them. They love Me except when they don’t.
God is not excepting, God is accepting. Of everyone and everything.
