Chapter Eight "Joy In Pain"

CHAPTER 8

JOY IN PAIN

If we could see “who we are,” the experience of this life wouldn’t be as painful, because the needed pain to reveal this fact to awaken us to it would not be needed as much. It is just a needed experience that works beyond the seen and more in the unseen.  Seek the unseen and the reason of the seen would be known.  Then the idea of “joy in pain” would be understood.  How? When we stray, the pain is a goad to direct us to that which is real.  Once the true reality is focused upon, the need for pain would be removed.  Seeing this, healing joy would be its replacement.  In our minds we would have returned to “From Whence We Came.” (Another book I am working on)  In that realm, there was no pain.....and here there would be no pain, if this insight we would gain.

Nothing in the experience of this life should have any affect on who we really are.  For who we really are reaches before and after this experience.  To focus only on the seen, pain would act as a reminder of who we truly are.  What we think we are, and what others might think we are, is threaten at these moments.  Only when we see who we TRULY are, would these moments “NOT MATTER.”  Why? Because what I think I am and what others think isn’t the truth or reality.  The reality of who we are will never change in the mind of God.  We are always in the Beloved....only our perspective can change this.

Prayer: “Father, I thank you for who I am, before and after this experience....for it is this that sustains me in this experience.”  Pray this prayer and who you truly are will be seen.  Then whatever you desire to do in this experience can be done through who you really are....Sons and Daughters of that UNSEEN intelligence of Love, God....sealed by His Son’s own blood and guaranteed by His Spirit.   If and when you think you know who you are, if this knowing is only in the seen, the UNSEEN must REMIND you other wise.  It’s moments like these that prove His love for you.  Acknowledge this, and the need of reminding is gone, and pains, trials, go away.

Prayer:    “I remind you, UNSEEN, as you have reminded me.  And thank you for all that is by a once for all act established between you and I before and after this experience.  It is You who sustain me in this experience.  (There will be moments when you will sense the need to speak this....do so.   It is your moment of reminder.)

In between these moments of being reminded...establish the desires of your heart.  Once for all, by a once for all speaking of that which is desired...meaning you will “NOT” speak of this desire again.  For it will be forever established and will come under, “Remind you, as you have reminded me.”  To pray this desire again, causes this to be a “prayer of doubt”...which cancels out;” let him/her that thinks by repetition of prayer, he or she will receive anything....He heard you the first time...ONCE FOR ALL.”
