"Oh My Gods"

“When they [i.e. Oh my Gods] present themselves, and I care not what form they take or where you are when they attack you, you take that moment and you close your eyes. You go up to your Source. …You go up to that silent place and you make your connection. It is simple to make that connection. You simply go there and you say, ‘Thank you My God for being one with me now.’ You bring that back with you. As you come into your mental body, you say to it, ‘Peace, be still. There is nothing that you can think that is not of God, and all that you think this moment is transformed into that which is good.’”

Understanding Situations

"Now there are always certain elements that are involved in any earthly situation. The first element is the opportunity to use your God-Self. That is always the first and foremost reason why one chooses certain difficulties. They give you the opportunity to prove that you are master over them, that you are never a victim, that you are never on the receiving end or the short end of the stick.

The second reason is discernment. How do you look at a situation? How do you see what you are into? Do you see it as something fearful, something over which you have no control, or do you see it as, 'I shall walk through this and I shall take from it it's blessing, That is all that I shall take from it' ? That is a difficult thing because you are looking at a situation that would appear to you to be unbearable or unsolvable or 'How can I ever make my way through this?' Yet, regardless of that, the higher part of you is encouraging you to be in tune with your force.

Know you how you had a make-believe story upon your picture boxes about traveling through space and meeting monsters and all of that sort of thing and the key phrase to that was, 'May the force be with you.' Remember that? You are always with the force. That is a very fine blessing to wish upon another - may the force be with you. But to deal with your situations, you have to go within yourself and know the force, the power of your spirit. When you do that, angel help comes in instantly for that is what we are there for. We come and we hold that vibration of spirituality around you and we see you through every bit of it.

The other aspect that is so very important and that a lot of people don't even look at is forgiveness. When you are in a difficulty, it usually involves another person or sometimes more than one person. Your tendency to blame rises up very strongly, the tendency to see the other fellow as the reason why you are in the mess you are in and not recognize that that individual or many individuals, whomever you are dealing with, are there doing exactly what you requested of them. That is a very hard lesson.

Look at your antagonists, for they are mirroring to you the lesson you asked for. You think, 'No way. I can't accept that. I would never ask these people to treat me so poorly. I would never do that. No way.' Oh yes you do. Why do you? First of all, most of you believe you deserve it. But more importantly, you are asking, 'Dear God, help me to know how strong I am. Help me to know the power that I have as the child of God. Help me to love my antagonists and to forgive them for what appears to me to be something unforgivable. And in that forgiveness, Father, allow me to understand that they have given to me the gift I asked of them.'

That is an extremely difficult thing because nobody wants to be in a hard place. Everyone wants to think they got there accidentally or because of another person's mistake. The truth is that you are always in your hard places because that is what you have chosen. When you reach into that forgiveness, what is going on?

First, there is nothing to forgive the person for because he only gave you what you asked him to. So where does this forgiveness come in? Why would one need to ask for forgiveness? It is because you are asking for yourself. You are asking for your own forgiveness. Since it is nearly impossible for the average human being to look at their own need, by personality standards, to be forgiven, you always project it outward onto someone else, a situation if not a person.

When you are forgiving, what are you doing? You are recognizing that this is a gift, a wonderous gift. In recognizing the gift you are recognizing that forgiveness is the releasing and letting go of every error perception that you held that caused you to draw this to you in the first place. It is a form of cleansing, of releasing, of letting go, of getting rid of all of the debris that you pulled to you, that drew this very thing that you hated so. So you are cleansing. You are releasing and letting go of every error perception that you held about yourself that would have made you draw draw to you a painful situation. Because forgiveness is part of an error perception, when you truly forgive, you come up out of that realization of the error perception,"
