Michael ends his book with a description of how God loves us unconditionally.
"You can't offend the Divine One; its very nature is light, love, compassion, protection, giving. You can't make it stop loving you. Its just like the sun. You can't make the sun stop shining on you; you can only choose not to look at it. The moment you look, you'll see it's there."
This message is in contrast to what many of us have grown up hearing, that God is a judgmental and vengeful God. It is also contrary to how we view ourselves, often harshly and critically.
I feel a great sense of comfort recognizing that I have been created and am being sustained by a loving, compassionate, protective God. This helps me to let go of the psyche and all of its related fears.
In order to do so, we need to be willing to accept whatever is showing up in our lives, including the negative and uncomfortable feelings. It has become so clear to me that there is no avoiding inner discomfort. Life will unfold as life will unfold. I can either fight it or watch the psyche ride the waves of life while I rest in the awareness of myself as the observer. And maybe then, we will experience what others who have walked this path have experienced:
"tremendous love, Spirit and light waking up inside of them. They felt that there was nothing coming in through their sense that was higher than what was already going on inside." (T.U.S., p. 175)
Love surrounds us, unfolds us, protects us and guides us. All we have to do is let go.
(We have reached the end of the book but I will continue to blog about this material. I will focus on both the book and Michael's CDs.)
