Gentleness

And so we will talk about harmlessness and gentleness on the path to the blissful states we are in search of, in this journey to bliss, Divine sex and love. The start is in the mind, and all thoughts must become ones of love and not attack. This is such a basic truth that the ego dismisses it and says it is not important. As you are seeing, all the elements of this path construct a solid and firm base on which to build your practice inside the mind. The ego runs riot, punching and shoving, knocking over furniture, the equivalent of the bully we just talked about in its own environment. It is hateful and mean. If it does not attack others, it will attack you, and if it is not attacking you now, it will attack you in the past and make you guilty.

 It is this inherently violent ego mind that is responsible for all conflict, internally and externally on your planet. To achieve the calm and loving state we need you to achieve for our goals of blissful union with the Divine, you must exhibit the love that you are, consistently, with self and other. The fight will go out of you as you follow the path of forgiveness, as this is the quickest way to defuse the ego. The principle is this; that the ego believes in war, and forgiveness is the opposite of war, So if you enforce this belief and manifest it in your actions every day, and eventually every minute of every day, the ego will dissipate, as it is getting no energy from your mind.

 You must remember your mind is its source of energy, and the feeling that you are not able to be responsible for this crazy monster in your head is indeed an illusion. You are responsible, and you feed it many times a day with the thoughts that you have. The great benefit of this discipline however is this; you will feel better and calmer, more loving and open. The defenses you have erected to protect you from the cruel outside world are not working because the enemy is within. It disguises itself with words of keeping you safe, and how terrible everyone else is. It assures you it has your best interest at heart, and yet that is the same lie as the wars that are currently going on.

 The ego has a deep seated agenda that it will not tell you about. It wants to keep you weak and disempowered, then it has the power that you have willingly handed over. It is time to gently take it back through the least violent act on Earth, the act of forgiveness. This causes the energies to settle, the anger to dissipate, and the ego to weaken, and this is indeed a miracle to feel inside your mind. The running and controlling can stop, and the attacks, gossip and judgements will subside. The energy that is freed up as the mind comes to res, is indeed some of the energy that spirit will use for the wakening process of the bliss pathways.. There is so much energy and focus being wasted on the wars that the ego creates, small and large, that there is an energy shortage for you, the thinker. 

This is an interesting fact is it not? You cannot imagine the energy you will have as the ego quietens, and you reclaim your true power, back from the unwelcome visitor that has been in charge. Your home becomes your own, and you can clean up the mess the ego has made, and create the loving, peaceful and calm residence you all wish for. Now there is a chance for love to enter. It cannot come in where the bully is in charge. It is a gentle energy that is not interested in war, and so it will appear to be gone whilst the battles continue, and yet when the fighting stops you will see it sitting quietly on your door step, waiting patiently to come in and help you. The loving essence that it is, never judges you for being mistaken or frightened or confused, it simply waits quietly until you are ready to kick the bully out and invite it in. 

This is what we wish you to do dear ones. Go inside and see where there are resentments. For some this is indeed a scary process. The ego will counsel you otherwise, as if it knows you are trying to kill it. But what you are really doing is releasing it, and. not in any violent way. So think, and see the one to whom you have unforgiveness, and at first simply put a white light around them. You do not need to forgive, just see them and put a light around them. This will suffice at first, and we will give more forgiveness instructions at a later date. But whenever their voice or face or hatred for them arises in your mind, in whatever way, do not engage it, but put a white light around the images and stories that are there. Every time. This will change the energy profoundly, and deep changes in your mind will occur, freeing you from the torment of hatred and confusion, fear and dislike. This is a technique that slips past the egos defenses. It is so passive that the ego does not understand it, and lets it go. So do practice this dear ones, with all the negatives in your mind, and relief will begin to be felt.  Ananda
