How to Understand God (HUG)
The monthly focus is a written excerpt taken from one of Jim and Brian’s talks, with a link to listen to the entire talk. In holding to a one-pointed focus on Spirit, each month we post a new written excerpt by either Jim or Brian. The worldwide monthly focus on Spirit helps us collectively deepen our understanding of God.
June 2022 — FROM PANIC AND FEAR TO FREEDOM AND PEACE
Monthly Focus~
“Daily find that place of Loving within you. Daily do the LAF (Loving Acceptance and Forgiveness)… It’s a choice as to where you’re going to live from.”
Full Excerpt ~
Brian and I, just before we came over here, we were listening to the Hu Chant online and it just took me right into my center, and I just started floating around in a calmness and peace that I was so grateful to have right then.
So, do the things that will support you, and the things that will support you the best are what you can do inside. Doing things inside of yourself to be in that moment of Loving within you. And love yourself.
Loving will heal so much more than you can imagine. Loving can release, it can let go, and it can heal in a wonderful, tremendous action.
So, daily find that place of Loving within you. Daily do the LAF (Loving Acceptance and Forgiveness). Forgive the world and how it’s reacting in fear. Forgive yourself for joining in with the reaction and fear, and choose something different than what the body might be trying to take you down.
Now is the time to do what you’ve been here listening about and training for all these years. This is bigger than any Olympic game that you could join in and try to get a gold medal. It’s now time to live the teachings, to live the life of a spiritual initiate, to let that action of Initiation truly live in you and through you and around you in every moment of the day.
You are on a Path of Liberation. Don’t let this world grab a hold of you and get you caught back up in it again. Keep choosing into that Path of Liberation. It’s not just about liberating the soul. It’s about liberating the consciousness of the body from the things of the world that grab a hold of us and hold us in prison. It’s about liberating ourselves on so many different levels, whether it be the mind, the emotion, the imagination, which is a big one right now in the world, and the body.
Liberate yourself on every level and stand tall and strong in that place of Loving within you where your soul dwells, at the seat of the soul. This is where we want to live from – from that place where the soul dwells within us. We want to live there, and not get caught up in the consciousness of the world. The seat of the soul, which is right here, is within you. It’s not out somewhere that you have to go to and get to, to find it. And it’s not beyond the mind. It’s not beyond the soul. It’s not beyond any place. It’s right inside of you. It’s a choice. It’s a choice as to where you’re going to live from.
Are you going to live from the place of fear inside of you? Are you going to live from that place where the imagination is running you? Are you going to live locked up inside, concerned and worried that somehow it’s going to get to you? Or are you going to live from that place of peace and quiet and loving and health that dwells right in your soul, right at the seat of the soul within you? It’s not out in the universe somewhere. It’s in you.
So spend time every day with you, with the true you, with the soul you, and let that Grace come in, let that Loving come in. And from there, there’s not a whole lot more I can say on this. It’s up to you now to do the work. It’s up to you now to live the truth that you’ve heard spoken so many times by Brian and by myself. It’s up to you now to be the initiate that you are and not just have the label of initiate stamped on your head.
Let that energy live in every cell of your body, because that soul that you are is indwelling you in every cell of your body. Let that be that which you were aware of, that movement of Loving, that movement of Love that God has for you, and let your loving move to be shared with God. It’s in giving and receiving that Loving with God that everything takes place.
And it is in that Loving movement that we can rise above and dwell in another place beyond the concerns and the fears of this world. It’s your choice. It’s always been your choice. It always will be your choice. Look and see how you’ve chosen in the past, and look and see how you’re choosing right now – to where you’re living from, how you’re listening, what you’re reacting to, and make some choices. God first and God only. God lives in the Loving. God does not live in fear and concern. And God wants us to be that way as well, so that our soul and God are One, that our soul and God lives in that place of peace that I’ve been talking about.
I’m sure in many ways this is not a talk that some of you wanted to hear, because it isn’t really feeding the panic, feeding the concern, predicting the future, or whatever it is that you might have been expecting. I can only speak my truth through my experience and what I know that works for me. And I ask you to find out what does work for you now? This is a great test for all humanity.
We’re going to see a lot of stuff in the world that may not look so humane and human. Don’t join into the flow of animal consciousness. Stay focused in the spirit of who you are. Stay centered and calm. Move in Loving. Act in Loving. Be caring with yourself and with others. And listen to that Loving flow inside of you first, not to the mind and not to the voices in the world.
