style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good afternoon, this is Rayson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Group welcome.)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is good to be here with you, my
friends, in this holiday season.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Merry Christmas to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(Thank you.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Today’s lesson
can be quite simple, or it can be quite extended.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It can be given in twenty minutes or
twenty hours.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will strive to
provide the most effective lesson to you in an efficacious amount of time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Today’s lesson has to do with
self-forgetfulness and self-forgiveness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And my teaching team and myself have several means to explore this with
you, but I will use our standard approach, which seems to be most effective and
one that you can relate to, and that is to use the example of Christ Michael as
Jesus, his lifetime, to assist you to understand these concepts.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">First, I wish you to make a
distinction between self-forgetfulness and self-denial—they are quite
different.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-denial has been
used by penitents of the church to seek a holy state of existence, while in
earthly form — the denial of desires, even physical needs of survival, in order
to become stripped of all physical natures as a means to seek that holy position
of oneness in spirit with Jesus, Christ Michael, with God.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Today’s lesson is quite different from
that and we will not be entering into the aspect of self-denial, but
self-forgetfulness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">There are two sides, to begin
with, to explain self-forgetfulness—at least two.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One of which is that you know
individuals who are arrogant, conceited, self-centered who exercise a form of
self-forgetfulness—they forget who they are—they forget that they are one among
many equal to others in importance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>At the other extreme, there are those who are self-forgetful, who have
forgotten that they exist, forgotten that they have needs, forgotten that they
have a life and a purpose.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They
have forgotten who they are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They
have forgotten that they are sons and daughters of God in physical form here on
this planet to learn, to grow, to love, to develop, to become the greatest that
they can become during this very brief lifetime.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgetfulness, as we use it, is for
the individual who is conscious of him or her self, a person who has
self-awareness, the person who is self-aware of highest consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgetfulness is very
similar to your exercise of the stillness—you are self-forgetful, forgetting
your daily chores, forgetting your agendas, your instructions, your meetings,
going hither and thither.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Self-forgetfulness in the stillness leads to one consciousness meeting
another consciousness—consciousness of a mortal, meeting the consciousness of
the Divine.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In self-forgetfulness
and in the stillness, when you are in contact with your Thought Adjuster, your
Thought Adjuster can speak <U>with</U> you, to help, guide, counsel, and show
you in still, silent ways, how to raise yourself up to become a greater person
—offering you higher alternatives of choice.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Now, my friends imagine living
this way throughout your waking day, with this consciousness, this
self-forgetfulness, being forgetful of your self-importance.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let me explain “self importance”:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The level of value and importance to
yourself, which you hold throughout the day.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In living-self-forgetfulness, you forget
that your value is different from other people.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In self-forgetfulness, you see yourself
truly as one of an equal in the brotherhood and sisterhood of man and the
sonship and daughtership of God.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In self-forgetfulness, you have
set aside your cultural, ethnic, national, racial, and social biases.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No matter what country you come from,
what race you come from, what cultural orientations, ethnic group you come
from—you are self-forgetful of those assignments, labels, and generalities that
were given to you early in life by your societies, families, and by your
communities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgetfulness
strips you of all those labels, of all those artificialities of being.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In self-forgetfulness, you are truly,
truly a beloved child of your Creator, Christ Michael. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are an equal of others in the soul
journey—ascension —that leads you to Paradise with all others.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgetfulness on this plane,
this mortal, earthly plane, will help you <I>immensely</I> after you graduate
from this world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you arrive in
the resurrection halls, you will begin to recollect who you are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will begin piecing yourself together
from the confetti that flies in your consciousness of who you were, and who you
are now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And my friends, you too
will pick up those assignments that your society, culture, ethnic group, and
your religious groups gave you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Self-forgetfulness is important, because if you hold yourself in
distinction from others because of these external assignments, you will have
difficulty along your journey.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">If you were a highly bigoted
white person in this country, and you continue to hold those points of view in
the afterlife, in the morontia worlds, you would have great difficulty.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If, on the other hand, you had the
self-awareness of a slave, owned by someone as property, material property, and
could be disposed of by an individual decision, and you have this opinion of
yourself, in the afterlife, you will have immense difficulty appreciating that
you are equally loved as everyone else in the hierarchy of the universe.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgetfulness is essential
to who you can become; it is as though your culture, society, family, and your
ethnic group—everything about you—your national identity—is written on a tablet
with a pencil, and self-forgetfulness erases those things.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must consciously do this, my
friends.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must erase your
identifiers of who you are, those externalities of your identification.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The spiritual journey is a stripping
away to the bare essentials of who you are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This naked truth of who you are is an
existential challenge for many of you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Some of you cannot do this in this lifetime; some of you will take many,
many, many journeys in the afterlife to do so.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is no easy task.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is as difficult for those who have
put the mantle of greatness upon themselves, as those who live in the sackcloth
of poverty, and have an impoverished sense of themselves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Both distinguish you as individuals who
must rid yourself of these garments of identification.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You are a unique individual,
created by the First Source and Center.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You are a unique personality, that personality given to you by the
Creator.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are you, and you
always will be you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
unique.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are <I>truly</I>
appreciated for that uniqueness, and in this uniqueness you will find who you
are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Simplicity of the journey is
in this simple relationship of the child to the parent, the Father/Mother God,
who has created you and has placed you at the very beginning of a long journey
of growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you get caught up in
the social accoutrements of each level, you will stifle your growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must forget who you were—as others
would see you—and remember the true self who you are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgetfulness!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is as though you are living the
stillness in awakened consciousness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I could not give you a more clear definition to live that way,
consciously, day-by-day.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The learning process for
self-forgetfulness is most forgiving.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Those around you will not shame you, as some of you have been shamed in
your childhood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have received
statements as, “Who do you think you are?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>“What do you think you are?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>“Who made you that special?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You will hear none of this, my friends, in the afterlife.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You hear none of it now through us, do
you?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Surely, you do not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">There is no shame and no guilt in
who you are; it is a simple process of making decisions, to forget those
identifiers, and take on new, wholesome, immortal identifiers, to help you
proceed day-by-day, stage-by-stage in your growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is far more helpful for you to have
come from humble origins on this planet, than to have been born a king or queen,
prince or duchess, or any of the hierarchy of royalty.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are blessed by not having been a
part of a militaristic hierarchy, whether in government, in the military, or a
religious organization. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Your power as an individual is
solely in your expressed capability, in your ability for participating
effectively in your growth, in your journey, to make decisions that assist
you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Being forgetful of “who you
are” and “where you come from,” you will be able to travel more quickly, grow
more quickly, and take on new assignments.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>In the mansion worlds, remembering who you are is what you call “baggage”
in this lifetime.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those are the
things that hold you back, those suitcases of identification hold you back from
traveling easily.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Let me give you some examples of
expressions of self-forgetfulness during this holiday season.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Were you to give a gift to someone, with
the thought of receiving something in return that would not be
self-forgetfulness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is a
conditional gift-giving situation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Giving something without thought of return, simply out of the goodness of
your heart, wishing to share your abundance, wishing to share the beneficence of
the universe, as it has bestowed itself upon you, and you pass it on to
others—this is truly an act of selfless forgetfulness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are blessed to do so.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are numerous examples that Jesus
used in regard to that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You could
interpret many parables in terms of self-forgetfulness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The humble individual who gave their
last bit of means to support themselves, or their last bit of prosperity to the
church, or to the synagogue—their gift was far more precious than the rubies and
stones and rings and jewelry, and great amounts of produce from the fields, that
others gave.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgetfulness—is
an expression of humility in your daily life—you are humble.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">And likewise, the essential
ingredient of self-respect is much different from self-admiration.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-respect is the recognition that you
are an individual who has the equal right of life and it’s expressions as anyone
else.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-respect is appreciating
who you are, forgetting the references to your society, those identifiers, those
labels that have been given to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Self-respect is a self-recognized signifier—you do not need others to
identify you as being self-respecting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It will be obvious and apparent in your life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The state of self-forgetfulness
is a balance:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Too much
self-forgetfulness, and you will forget who you are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgetfulness does not forget that
you are a child of God, a significant contributor to God the Supreme, the
experience of the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
life is meaningful; it is needed; you are necessary to help fulfill the
universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your life makes a
difference—not by who you are—not by who you say your are, or who your society
says you are—but simply that you live life simply, meaningfully, humbly,
respectfully.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">This first part of the lesson is
necessary for the fulfillment of the second part, that of self-forgiveness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the first part, you learned to
maintain a consciousness of stillness in your daily life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Forgetting your social, cultural,
ethnic, political identifiers, and on the other hand, recognizing, appreciating,
and respecting that you are a child of God, that you are unique.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In these regards, only then can
self-forgiveness be fulfilled.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgiveness is the act of
forgiving yourself as a child of God, respecting your self with the capacity to
live life in the future, making better decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Self-forgiveness is an empowering
capacity that empowers you to move ahead without the weight of past actions,
which were detrimental to your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have read, have you not, in the Urantia Book that when you forgive
yourself, you also must forget what you forgave!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Were you to remember those issues again
and feel guilt or shame, then you must forgive yourself again.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Forgive yourself many times over, as
many times as Jesus stated you must forgive the individual who sinned against
you, whether it is seven times seventy, or seventy times seven thousand—whenever
the feelings of regret, anguish, guilt, or shame arise in you, it is time to
forgive again.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We know that it is impossible for
you to forget these issues, but we also know that through continued and ongoing
genuine self-forgiveness, the power, the energy of these past transgressions
will diminish and eventually disappear.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The memories of them will be hollow, they will be as though you see an
egg shell, but there will be no yolk or white inside—they simply are empty.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are non-energetic, non-viable
encapsulations of a past experience, where you have no regrets, no shame, and no
guilt about them, or your role in their acts.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, forgiveness is essential for you to
move ahead as a child of God, to move ahead powerfully on your ascension, on
your journey.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgiveness is essential as
an exercise to understand your difficulties with living life, and understanding
the difficulties of others as they lived their lives when they injured you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, self-forgiveness is essential to
forgiving others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You individuals
who have so much difficulty forgiving others, we also recognize that you have
the same difficulty forgiving yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The individual who is able to appreciate this is on the cusp of moving
ahead to the space, the place, the consciousness of self-forgiveness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The individual, who is arrogant and
feels that many have sinned against them, is not capable, yet, of consciousness
to appreciate the act of self-forgiveness, for they see nothing to forgive.<SPAN

difficulty of forgiving yourself and forgiving others, are on the cusp of much
growth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Appreciate where you are;
give yourself a pat on the back, my friends, you are coming along.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Whatever it takes to forgive yourself,
do so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Whatever you need to do to
forgive yourself and others, so that those actions do not exist with any energy,
do so now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some non-traditional,
therapeutic exercises are very helpful for this.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We do not espouse any at this point in
this lesson—that would be for another time, another lesson.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Self-forgiveness is essential to
live in a stillness of conscious, daily life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you understand that?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you understand that the chaos of
guilt, of shame, of past actions against others, against yourself, runs riot in
your thinking?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are literally
bedeviled by your own thoughts—it is then time to go to the
stillness—literally—sit in a chair, become still, forgive yourself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Stay there until all these thoughts have
been stilled.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For some of you, and
for this one, it has taken hours at a time to do so, but a necessary exercise
for training your mind to forgive, for you to consciously and willfully forgive
your self.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You are in charge of your life
and your mind; exercise your will to forgive yourself totally, thoroughly, and
completely.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is time to move
ahead.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is time to engage a new
year; it is time to engage a new level of consciousness in your self.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can only do this thoroughly and
completely through self-forgetfulness and self-forgiveness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then you are stripped of all of your old
baggage of guilt and shame.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
stripped of your labels, and you are truly as an arrow of light ascending
rapidly into the skies towards Paradise.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">To carry that metaphor a bit
farther, imagine your Thought Adjuster as the archer, honing your skills to move
towards Paradise, preparing you for the journey.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must strip yourself of all the
issues of guilt and shame—and labels, and titles—in order to fly freely,
clearly, swiftly ahead.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Take a few
moments to reflect upon these things, if you wish, and when you are ready, you
are welcome to ask questions.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Student:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Rayson, there was a time in my life when
I took very seriously, the biblical statement about “Deny yourself, take up your
cross and follow me.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It took a
long time for me to begin to overcome that, because it gave me more of a sense
of worthlessness, and has taken a long time to develop a sense of self-worth and
value.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So the teaching about us as
valued sons and daughters of God, the beloved children of God, has been very
helpful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But I suspect that a
number of people who are trying hard to be good Christians get caught up in
that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">RAYSON:<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your associations, the institutions that
you belong to, whether they are social or religious or economic or political,
all want to give you titles and have you work for bigger titles and positions,
and it is difficult for you to remember that you are on your journey.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Organizations have little leverage over
your life, if there is not a dualistic way of thinking about your existence in
the organization.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must strive
to fulfill the organization’s goals and gain titles, in order to prove your
value and your worth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And of
course, none of these things are necessary for you to succeed quickly in your
journey, as a mortal.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You, as a conscious individual,
living the stillness daily, have a singular way of living, and that is to live
<I>in</I> the world, but not be <I>of</I> the world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To know how to use the worldly
organizations and relationships to your advantage, but not be caught up in them,
not to have them dominate who you truly are is difficult if you do not see your
life as having a single purpose – to become like God.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And not too oddly, this same pattern
does continue for some in their ascension lives; they get caught up in the
position of who they are and their importance in their work in their spiritual
journey on the mansion worlds and after.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Truly, their most important journey is the journey of their soul in the
union with their Thought Adjuster and themselves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In this oneness towards completion, the
embrace with the Divine.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you

able to forgive myself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(Rayson:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Explain
please.)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For example, using the
justification of being immature at the time that that action took place, or not
having been aware of the complete situation—things like that.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">RAYSON:<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is an action of the mind to strive to
rationalize forgiveness, and there is no rationalization for forgiveness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your participation, your shared
consciousness with your Thought Adjuster, its expression is forgiveness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You do not have to justify forgiving,
rationalize it—simply act consciously to forgive.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is another crutch to support one
along this journey that is necessary, until you can throw that crutch away.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And in throwing the crutch away, you
forgive knowing and saying that “I am a beloved child of God, and I have the
capacity of the Divine relationship in me, to forgive myself, and to forgive
others!”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And that is not only a
duty, but a right, a privilege to forgive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

reminded me of something I was reading in a transcript this morning.<SPAN

really understand people because he listened to them thoroughly.<SPAN

he was going to say next, instead of listening to the person that he was
conversing with.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I see that happens
so clearly in our society, that when we hold a conversation, we don’t always
listen to what the other person is truly saying because we are formulating our
own thoughts to interject into the conversation.<SPAN

self-forgetfulness and self-forgiveness is that you are then, you have the
ability, you have the presence of mind, to live in the moment.<SPAN

keep you in the past; those all come from the time before.<SPAN

live in the moment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Forgiving
yourself, you are able to empower yourself fully as the Christ Presence—if you
wish to call it that—in the moment with that other individual.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can be fully present, without having
to project yourself, your labels, your identity, your power, to others.<SPAN

a three-part brain.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This aspect
would more rapidly develop, were it not for your penchant to mate with whoever
was conveniently available, rather than having a program of evolved species,
which you have a great bias against, called eugenics.<SPAN

advantageous development for your species and for the days of Light and Life,
which would be more easily administered by mortals themselves, and even more so
easily with the conscious collaboration with spiritual entities in that
era.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have permission to state
that you as individuals can enhance this capacity of your mind by seeking the

of course, a two-sided argument often goes awry by not having a third factor to
stabilize or to assist each mode of thinking, to rise to higher levels of
awareness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your thinking, as a
conscious process, can raise the “genetic bar” of your species.<SPAN

as individuals, before the procreation of your children, is oftentimes passed on
to your children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a means
of conscious, genetic imprinting, which has not been practiced widely on your

it in terms of being helpful to you at this moment by making positive statements
of affirmation as, “I now have a photographic memory!<SPAN

surrounding some event, whether it is a failure to accomplish or it is the
passing of an individual, or the ending of an era—whatever it may be—the
expression of grief without resolution is a very detrimental behavior.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">When a person is in perennial
grief, they have literally hit the “pause button” of life.<SPAN

living, without being a spiritually active being.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Perennial grief sometimes occurs as a
habituation, a recurring theme, that one has done daily as they come home from
work—let’s say—and thinks about the loss of a partner, or a pet, and every day
they come home and they grieve pitifully, and do this daily for years.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">On the other hand, or at least in
one other aspect, we can look at this and perhaps see that it is the result of
an ongoing, unresolved issue or element in their life, something that they did
not bring to closure.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their grief
may involve wishing they had done more, or less, or not at all to have prevented
their situation of grief.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so,
