Ask the Author: Question and Response

Any workshops or live-in communities where one may go and sincerely focus on becoming our Godself?

Do what, and go where your heart and mind advise. Therefore, if you believe you must go somewhere to focus on becoming your Godself then feel free to do so.

Yet if you will, allow me to offer a suggestion. My friend, you may find yourself high in the Himalayan Mountains or inside prison walls, yet there is no place were your Godself is not. Your Godself resides within you now, forever in loving and patient wait for you to acknowledge it. There is no one physical location that is, in truth, any different than any other physical location. You may have been taught, and now accept, that a mountain is more beautiful than a building, or that a stream is more peaceful than a city street. If you have chosen that, then so be it. But allow me to invite into the possibility of your mind that if you choose to think this way, then you will consider it more difficult to encounter your Godself in a building or city street than you would in a mountain or stream, and that is simply an illusion of the ego, a fairy tale read to you long ago that you now perceive as true.

If there is any moment, person, place or thing where you do not experience your Godself, then allow that moment to become your workshop. Do not judge yourself, but ask yourself why you are choosing to experience something other than beauty and peace, something other than your true self in the moment. The Godself can be and is reflective in all things. Let every moment be your workshop, for there is no person, place or thing where your Godself is not. Trust in this memory and experience peace, beauty and your Godself in every moment, in everyone and everything. That is all that is asked of you, to allow the truth to be true.

My dear friend, allow me to quote directly from the book You Have Chosen to Remember; A Journey from Perception to Knowledge, Peace of Mind and Joy (page 75):

My friend, the Godself is within you now. It is that whisper within your heart that is asking to be remembered and expressed. It is the voice that calls for forgiveness when you have judged a brother or sister. It is the memory that recalls the possibility of healing when you feel hurt. It is the opportunity to choose calmness when you are stressed and unity when you have separated yourself from a brother or sister. The Godself demonstrates that light is available even when you perceive it too dark to see. It is the invitation to love those - others perceive as unlovable, to pray for those you once perceived as not worth your time. My friend, the Godself is the recollection that all you ever wish to be, you already are.
