Friendship

(C. Jardin) #1

When you arise in the morning, I invite you to think of one thing. What is going to change
today? Not, will there be a change today? That is a given! But what is that change going to
be? And what part will you play in creating that change, in being the conscious cause of it?
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day you are making decisions. These
choices are about what will change, and how. They are about nothing else.


Even a choice as simple as combing your hair. Let’s use that, because it’s an easy one. You
imagine that you are combing your hair the same way every day, and so you are changing
nothing at all. Yet the very act of combing it is an act of change. You go to the mirror and look
at your hair just after you wake up, and you say, “Ugh.” it’s a mess. You can’t go out like that.
You’ve got to change it. You’ve got to change the way you look. So you wash your face,
comb your hair, get ready for the day.


All the while, you are making decisions. Now some of these are decisions to change things
back, the way they were. And so you create the illusion of keeping things the way they are.
Yet you are simply re-creating yourself anew, in the grandest version of the greatest vision
ever you held about Who You Are!
All of life is a process of re-creation! This is God’s greatest joy. This is God’s recreation!


Now the implications this has on your life are phenomenal. When you think about it, this is an
extraordinary revelation. You are doing nothing but changing. You are doing nothing but
evolving. How you are changing is up to you. What you are evolving into is up to you. Yet the
fact that you are is not something that is open to question. It is a given. That is just what is
going on. That is what Life is. It is what God is. It is what you are.
Life, God, You = That Which Changes.
But You still haven’t resolved the dilemma. If I am One with everything, what about swatting
the mosquito?


What kind of change do you choose to create in that part of your Self that you call the
mosquito? That is the question you are asking, and that is the implication of the We Are All
One wisdom.
You are “changing” the part of The All that you call the mosquito. You cannot “kill” the
mosquito, do you see? Life is eternal, you cannot end it. You do have the power to change
your form. As in your popular science fiction entertainments, you might call yourself a shape
shifter. Yet know this: all of consciousness acts together. In the highest sense, it is
impossible for one of you to have dominion or control over another. Every aspect of divinity
has co-creative control over its destiny. Therefore, you cannot kill a mosquito against its will.
At some level, the mosquito has chosen that. All of the change in the universe occurs with
the consent of the universe itself, in its various forms. The universe cannot disagree with
itself. That is impossible.


This is dangerous talk. This is a dangerous teaching. People could use this to say, “Well,
then I can do anything to anyone I want, since they’ve given me their permission! After all,
they’re ‘co-creating’ it with me!” It would be behavioral anarchy.


You already have that. Life is what you call “behavioral anarchy,” do you not see? You are all
doing what you want, when you want, how you want, and I am not stopping you. Are you not
seeing that? The human race has done what it has called hideous things, and it has done
them over and over again, and God is not stopping it from doing so. Have you not ever
wondered why?


Of course I have. We all have. We have cried out in our hearts, “God, why are you allowing
this?” Of course we have asked.
