TOPIC: Life is a schoolroom, and you can learn in two ways: by listening for direction or by being in the school or hard knocks

Mother Mary, November 26, 2006

 


There is an alternative to suffering

So my beloved the law of God is simple. You have free will to do whatever you want. You are a co-creator with God. And you are here to learn how to use your co-creative abilities to create situations for yourself that you can live with, that you can grow with. And thus you learn in two ways. One is by listening to direction from within, from your Higher Self, from your I AM Presence, from your spiritual teachers. But if you will not listen for that direction, or if you will not use even your reasoning mind to find direction on your own, well then you must learn in the other way, which is the school of hard knocks—by seeing the Ma-ter light reflect back to you physical circumstances that outpicture the circumstances in your mind.

And thus, my beloved, the law of God is this. You have a right to create any mental image you want. You have a right to project that mental image outside your own mind. But when you do so, you will inevitably experience the physical situations that outpicture your mental image. You will experience what you project upon life. You will experience what you co-create through the power of your mind by projecting a mental image onto the Ma-ter light.

And thus, my beloved, God and myself and all spiritual teachers, firmly uphold your right to co-create any circumstance you want. Yet my beloved, we would like you to understand that if you co-create circumstances that cause you suffering, then you have an alternative to continuing to create the same circumstances. Yet the only way to stop the repetitive cycle that leads to suffering is to change the cause of the outer circumstances.

And my beloved, I know full well that throughout history people have come up with all kinds of excuses that make it seem like they are not in control of the outer circumstances, that they did not create them, that somehow God, fate, luck or other people created those circumstances. But my beloved, the stark reality is that you have co-created your own circumstances because you have formed mental images and you have projected those images onto the Ma-ter light.

And thus, the only way – the absolute only way – that those outer circumstances can be changed is that you change the cause of the outer circumstances. For my beloved, would you not agree that if you want to change an effect, you have to change the cause that creates that effect? And what I am telling you is that the effect is your outer circumstances. And the cause of that effect is the mental images you hold in your mind. And thus, the only way to change your outer circumstances is to change those mental images.

My beloved, how can you change the mental images in your mind? Well, there is no other way but to do so consciously by seeing the mental images – seeing that they are based on the duality consciousness, on the illusions of the mind of antichrist – and then consciously letting them go, replacing the illusions with the truth of Christ.

My beloved, please take note of what I am saying. It is not a matter of somehow justifying the beliefs you have accepted in the past. Oh my beloved, if you will look at this honestly, you will see that when so many people are confronted with a possibility that they might have an imperfect belief, they go into a defensive reaction. My beloved, this defensive reaction is the reaction of the ego – the default reaction of the ego – which simply will not acknowledge that it could be wrong.
And thus it goes into a reaction of trying to defend or justify its beliefs.

Yet my beloved, what I hope you can see is that if you keep trying to justify a past belief, you will simply build on to that belief. And thus, you will keep sending mental images into the cosmic mirror that are based on that original belief. And so, of course, what can the cosmic mirror do but send back to you the same kind of circumstances that you have created all along?

So my beloved, will you please realize that if you keep doing the same thing and expect different results, then you are trapped in the basic insanity of the human ego. And therefore, you must step away from the old patterns and simply be willing to openly acknowledge that certain beliefs from your past are limiting yourself. And thus, it is not in your own best interest to uphold those beliefs. On the contrary, it is in your own best interest to simply let them go.
