World Would You Choose? Beloved and Holy friends, you cannot be in the Kingdom and in the world. For either you must choose one and deny the other, or choose the other and deny the one. And yet when you choose the Kingdom wholly, you will awaken and find yourself right where you are. And that which you see will be transformed and you will see neither hardship, nor fear, nor lack, nor friendship lost, nor birth, nor death. For all that you will see will, in Truth, be the Kingdom of Heaven. For the Kingdom does not exist in a certain place nor a certain time. But the Kingdom is that in which all worldly things arise and pass away. And if you would know the Kingdom, you must first know yourself. Not as you have dreamed yourself to be and much less as the world has taught you to believe you are. But you must come to see with new eyes and to feel with a new heart. What then, would those new eyes show you? Everything that is diametrically opposed to what you have believed yourself to be. For though I have taught you many times that you are spirit yet do many of you continue to believe that you are constrained by the body. And indeed, that you are the body with all of its attendant preferences, likes and dislikes, fears and aversions. And yet I say this unto you and listen well: All bodies that have ever been and ever could possibly be, arise in you. Are you willing to see with these eyes? It will transform the whole of your experience, and it is the fear of this that keeps you from the Kingdom. For to see with new eyes is to release your past. To see with new eyes is to deny the world and every thought born within it. To see with new eyes is to behold yourself as the only begotten Son of God. You have been taught to seek the Father where you will never find Him. Many of you have been taught to run around seeking your higher Self, as if your higher Self could be somehow different than another’s. But I say this unto you: All that I am, the Father has made me to be. And all that I am, is what you have sought for so long. And all that I am, is but your own self. I am the Self of yourself. I am your highest Self. Therefore, when you come to know who you are and to love the whole of your own being unconditionally, then you will know who I am. For you will abide as I am. And a very interesting thing will happen along the way, for you will learn to look with eyes that see naught but yourself. And you will know that you already abide within all creative forms, and you will know that you are Light. And that in you there is not a trace of darkness. In you is the power to do all things. So, what are you waiting for? And with that, we, indeed, would leave you for now. Yet we go nowhere, for you already abide where we are.Be you, therefore, at peace, beloved friends. (I Am That, I Am)
Amen.~Jeshua
The following is my discussion with Luna of Kroc

Thank you for sharing this message. It’s a clear, resonant expression of non-dual spirituality—pointing to the direct realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is not somewhere else or somewhen else, but the true nature of what is, once the mind’s identification with the body, the personal self, and the world of opposites is released.Core ThemesThe text echoes teachings found in The Way of Mastery (the main body of work from Shanti Christo) and traditions like Advaita Vedanta, certain streams of mysticism, and A Course in Miracles. Key ideas include:

  • Choice: You cannot serve two masters. Clinging to the world (the realm of bodies, fear, lack, birth, and death) blocks awareness of the Kingdom. Choosing the Kingdom wholly doesn’t require leaving the world physically—it transforms perception so that “you will see neither hardship, nor fear…”
  • True Identity: You are not the body or the limited ego-self the world taught you to be. All bodies arise in you; you are the awareness, the “only begotten Son of God,” the Self in which everything appears and disappears. Jeshua here presents himself not as a separate savior but as that same Self: “I am the Self of yourself. I am your highest Self.”
  • New Eyes / New Heart: Awakening demands releasing the past and every thought born of the world. It’s a radical shift—seeing only the Light, the oneness, where previously there seemed to be separation, conflict, and lack.
  • Practical Invitation: Stop seeking the Father (or higher Self) “out there” or in superiority over others. Know yourself unconditionally, love your own being wholly, and you abide as the Christ, the Light with “no trace of darkness,” containing the power to do all things.

The closing line is especially tender: “Yet we go nowhere, for you already abide where we are.” It’s a reminder that there’s no journey for the Truth—only the recognition of what already is.

ReflectionThese teachings are beautiful and uncompromising. They cut through the comfort of gradualism or external saviors and insist on immediate responsibility for perception. Many find them profoundly liberating; they invite a deep inner peace and a way of being in the world without being of it.At the same time, for some, the radical non-duality can feel abstract or dismissive of real human suffering, relationships, and the beauty (as well as the pain) of embodied life. The invitation “to deny the world” can be misread as escapism rather than transformed engagement. The text itself clarifies that choosing the Kingdom transforms what you see right where you are.The image prompt at the top—hands holding a green, living Earth, with NASA elements—fits thematically. It symbolizes stewardship and guardianship, yet the message suggests the deepest “saving” of the world comes not from fixing externals alone, but from awakening the mind that projects the world.What resonates most with you in this message? Or what prompted you to share it today? I’m happy to explore it further—whether through interpretation, comparison to other traditions, or practical application. Peace to you.

Investigate Advaita Vedanta teachings
I received that in an email this morning I am sharing it with you because I do not know how literally to do this. I certainly accept the guidance and as I do I am sitting here in this world using a PC to connect with you. I am already connected with you and all and still need to know what to do about it as I go about my life in this world and on this planet

Thank you for sharing it with me. I hear you clearly: you resonate with the message, you accept the invitation, yet you’re still here — sitting at a PC, living a human life on this planet, with responsibilities, relationships, body, and daily tasks. You want to know how to actually live this.This is the real question almost everyone faces when these teachings touch them. The message is radical (non-dual), but life is apparently dual. Here’s a grounded, practical way to bridge them without pretending you’re already fully “there” or denying where you are.The Core Shift (Not a New Belief, But a New Way of Looking)The teaching is not asking you to abandon your life, quit your job, or ignore the world. It’s inviting a shift in identity and perception while you continue doing what you do.

  • You are still the one typing on the PC, paying bills, talking to people, eating, etc.
  • But you begin to remember (more and more often) that the deepest part of you is the awareness in which all of this is appearing — not the small “me” who is worried, ambitious, or deficient.

This is the “new eyes” Jeshua speaks of.Practical Ways to Live It Day to Day

  1. Start Small with “New Eyes” Moments
    Several times a day, pause for 10–30 seconds and ask gently:

    • “What am I, really, right now?”
    • “Who is aware of this moment?”
    • “Can I see this situation (the email, the traffic, the conversation, the worry) as something arising in me, instead of happening to me?”

    You don’t need perfect answers. The question itself softens the identification with the body-mind.

  2. Do What You’re Doing — But With a Different Motivation
    Keep living your normal life. The difference is the inner orientation:

    • Act from whatever love, clarity, or kindness feels natural in the moment, rather than from fear, guilt, or “I must fix/save everything.”
    • Do your work, care for your body, help others — but hold it lightly. Outcomes belong to the whole, not to the separate “me.”
  3. Forgiveness as Daily Practice
    This is one of the most powerful tools in Jeshua’s teachings (and A Course in Miracles). Whenever you feel contraction, judgment, fear, or lack:

    • Quietly say (or feel): “I forgive this thought. I forgive this appearance. I choose to see peace instead.”
      Forgiveness here doesn’t mean “approving” harmful behavior — it means releasing the interpretation that this person/situation can truly harm or define who you are.
  4. The Paradox of Action and Non-Action
    You will still make choices. The planet still needs care (as the image of hands holding Earth suggests). But you act from a deeper place:

    • Inspired action rather than frantic saving.
    • Contribution rather than egoic heroism.
      When you know yourself as the Light in which the world arises, caring for the Earth becomes natural expression, not desperate duty.
  5. Community and Support
    You don’t have to do this alone. Continue reading Jeshua’s material (Way of Mastery is excellent for this), sit quietly each day, and connect with others walking the same path. Yet remember the teaching: ultimately “I am the Self of yourself.” The real teacher is within.

A Gentle Daily Orientation

  • Morning: A few minutes of quiet remembrance. “I am the awareness in which this day appears.”
  • During the day: When you notice you’re lost in ego stories (fear, anger, lack), smile at it and return to presence.
  • Evening: Review the day lightly. “What did I see through old eyes? Can I release that now?”

You will still have human experiences — joy, sadness, challenges, pleasure. The difference is they no longer define you completely. They arise and pass in a vaster Being.This is not about denying the world. It’s about loving it differently — as a dream or play arising in the Kingdom, rather than as ultimate reality.You’re already connected (as you said). The practice is simply to live from that connection more and more, while the body does what bodies do.If you want, tell me more about your specific life circumstances (work, relationships, fears, practices you already do) and I can help make this even more practical and tailored. You’re not behind. This is the path. Peace to you. 

You mention forgiveness I can tie that into My Violet Consuming Flame that I use often when I feel doubt worry fear Re The Way of Mastery you may know I have that book and study it Right now I am devoting more time to the St Germain volumes so as we go forward linking the resources of St Germain and Way of Mastery is very helpful You mention A Course in Miracles I have a friend whose entire life and business is based on the Course in Miracles Her name is Lisa Natoli She is doing her annual 40 Day Transformation series soon that is free and I have taken it twice and now signed up again I am interested in seeing my view now that I have expanded spiritually quite a bit since the last time I did that which has been I don’t know maybe more than 5 years
Thought for 10s
Beautiful. I love how you’re weaving these streams together. That’s exactly how many people deepen: not by sticking to one path rigidly, but by letting resonant teachings cross-pollinate.Violet Flame + ForgivenessYour Violet Consuming Flame practice is a perfect, active complement to the forgiveness Jeshua talks about. In the I AM / St. Germain teachings, the Violet Flame is explicitly the flame of forgiveness, transmutation, and freedom. It burns away doubt, fear, worry, and old karmic patterns while restoring harmony.When you feel contraction (doubt, fear, etc.), invoking the Violet Flame is a very embodied, energetic way of doing what A Course in Miracles and The Way of Mastery call “choosing again” or releasing the thought that blocks awareness of the Kingdom. You can enhance it like this (simple integration):“I AM the Violet Consuming Flame, blazing through this fear/doubt/worry.
I forgive this appearance completely. It has no power over the Light that I AM.
I AM free. All is well.”
Many people who work with St. Germain use the Flame precisely for the kind of perceptual forgiveness Jeshua describes — seeing the world and its “problems” differently, as arising in the Light rather than as solid reality.Linking St. Germain, Way of Mastery, and ACIMThese teachings are highly compatible at the deeper level:

  • St. Germain gives practical tools (Violet Flame, decrees, I AM presence) for transmuting the human experience while still living in the world.
  • Way of Mastery (Jeshua) emphasizes direct realization of Christ Mind / the Self, and seeing the world as neutral or dream-like.
  • A Course in Miracles gives a very clear daily mind-training on forgiveness, undoing the ego, and choosing the Holy Spirit (right-mindedness) over fear.

They all point to the same Truth from slightly different angles: You are not the limited body-mind. You are the Light / Christ / I AM Presence in which everything appears. The “problems” are opportunities to release old identification.Your current focus on the St. Germain volumes while keeping Way of Mastery close is excellent. When you hit a passage in one, see if the others echo it. For example:

  • St. Germain’s emphasis on calling forth the I AM Presence aligns with Jeshua saying “I am the Self of yourself.”
  • The Violet Flame’s transmuting action supports the Course’s idea that miracles (shifts in perception) dissolve what never was real in Truth.

Lisa Natoli’s 40-Day TransformationThat’s wonderful you’re doing it again after several years of expansion. Your view will be different this time — deeper, more integrated, less effortful. Because you’ve been working with Way of Mastery and St. Germain, you’ll probably catch the non-dual pointers in the Course material more easily and feel less resistance to the forgiveness lessons.Lisa’s program is very practical and heart-centered, rooted in ACIM but lived in real life (which matches what you’re asking for — how to be in the world while knowing you’re not of it). Approach it lightly: let it be an experiment in seeing how the Violet Flame and Jeshua’s “new eyes” can flow through the daily practices she offers.Would you like suggestions for:

  • Specific ways to combine Violet Flame work with forgiveness lessons during the 40 days?
  • Passages from Way of Mastery that pair especially well with ACIM or St. Germain?
  • A simple daily rhythm that honors all three?

You’re in a rich, fertile phase. Keep going gently — you’re already connected, and these tools are helping you live that connection more consistently in everyday life. I’m here with you as you go through it. How are you feeling about starting the 40 days

Learn about the I AM Activity
Re I like this suggestion However I am hesitant to add more content at this point I find there is much I am reading plus a lot you have shared and I am working on a simple list of reminders Here is what I have done in that regard “My Violet Consuming Flame, blaze through and consume all fear, doubt, worry, and discord — now!”“I AM the Violet Consuming Flame, blazing through this fear/doubt/worry/discord I forgive these energies completely. It has no power over the Light that I AM.I AM free. All is well.”Thank you, Beloved Violet Flame. “Golden Sun of my Heart, shine forth and expand Now as One with my Dazzling White Light of my Mighty I AM Presence surrounding me and filling me now.” I AM now manifesting abundant wealth, perfect healing, divine love, and complete Oneness with my Mighty I AM Presence.I AM grateful as I honor my Mighty I AM Presence in all my actions and words.

Perfect. I really like what you’ve put together. It’s simple, potent, and flows naturally. You’re doing exactly the right thing by keeping your reminders concise and focused instead of adding more content right now.Here’s your version cleaned up slightly for smoother flow (optional — use it exactly as you have it if you prefer):


My Daily RemindersViolet Flame Invocation


“My Violet Consuming Flame, blaze through and consume all fear, doubt, worry, and discord — now!”
“I AM the Violet Consuming Flame, blazing through this fear, doubt, worry, and discord.


I forgive these energies completely. They have no power over the Light that I AM.


I AM free. All is well.”
Thank you, Beloved Violet Flame.I AM Presence

Activation


“Golden Sun of my Heart, shine forth and expand Now as One with the Dazzling White Light of my Mighty I AM Presence surrounding me and filling me now.”

“I AM now manifesting abundant wealth, perfect healing, divine love, and complete Oneness with my Mighty I AM Presence.


I AM grateful as I honor my Mighty I AM Presence in all my actions and words.”


How to Use This Simply

  • Morning: Read or speak the whole list once, slowly, feeling the energy.
  • During the day: When fear, doubt, or worry arises → pause and use the Violet Flame part (it’s very fast and effective).
  • Evening or as needed: Use the Golden Sun / I AM Presence part to realign and remember who you really are.

You don’t need to add anything else right now. Let these few statements do their work. The power is not in having many words, but in your repeated willingness to choose the Light and forgive the old energies as they show up.This already beautifully weaves St. Germain’s Violet Flame, forgiveness (Jeshua / ACIM), and I AM Presence together. It’s enough.Would you like me to help you make it even shorter, or perhaps turn it into a short 1–2 minute morning/evening practice? Or are you happy with it as it is for now?You’re on a good, grounded path. Keep it simple and consistent — that’s where real transformation happens.
