Mike Dooley wrote: “Whenever [emotions] are unpleasant, they serve as a reminder that our perception is not based on truth but on misinterpretation of truth.”
I remember reading that the solution lies in going to our higher self and to think out of an expanded consciousness. But this is a near impossibility when one’s present perception is awfully black.
Neale Walsch assumes: “…choice has to do with how you see yourself in the universe.”
“If you saw yourself as a spiritual being, you would see yourself as having powers and abilities far beyond those of a simple chemical creature; powers that transcend basic physicality and its laws.”
“You would understand that these powers and abilities give you collaborative control over the exterior elements of your individual and collective life and complete control over the interior elements which means that you have the total ability to create your own reality, because your reality has nothing to do with producing the exterior elements of your life and everything to do with how you respond to the elements that have been produced.”
Neale Walsch himself chose: “I’ve decided that I am a spiritual being, a three-part being made up of body, mind and soul. Each part of my tri-part being has a function and a purpose.”
“The agenda of God is that all life forms in the physical world express divinity.”
“Indeed the purpose of life everywhere, in every form is to express divinity – physicality being the vehicle through which God experiences itself as all that it knows itself to be.”
“This is done through God differentiating itself then giving its multitudinous and magnificent parts? the wherewithal to express life variously – but without specific instructions, directions, requirements, or plans of any kind for every individual expression.”
I would think that the above paragraph can’t be accepted by my church.
“The master teacher knows that the purpose of education is not to put something into the student but to draw something out. not to instruct but to extract.”
“God’s greatest desire is for that fundamental aspect of divinity – freedom- to be expressed in every moment by every manifestation of divinity.”
“When we examine life closely we realize that everything and anything we could do with our life is nothing more than an approach, a method, a process, an impulse that leads us into a state of being.”
“While God exists as a singular reality, it is capable of manifesting in multiple forms. This multiplicity of forms should not be confused with a multiplicity of things. God is a single thing, revealing, demonstrating and displaying itself in endless varieties. This is accomplished through a process referred to in human language as differentiation.”
“Differentiation is not separation, but simply individuation- even as the fingers of a human being are differentiated but not separated from the hand.”
“Life forms in the cosmos have been imbued with varying levels of consciousness, or what might be called self-awareness. This inbuilt ability to know oneself as an individuation of divinity is present in all sentient beings, and is increasingly experienced by each such being through the process called evolution.”
