The Way of Love is Loving.

Talking to my family and friends, I realize how much my beliefs have changed. Every time I write something here, I am hoping they will read and get a bit more insight on what I believe. If I were to put my beliefs from what they were to where they are going in one sentence it would be. I was one who looked for salvation outside from sources separate and apart from me, now I realize it is all there, but only with in me.
The LDS church what I was raised up in, is said to be the church with the most truth and information then any other church in the world. I might agree with that still. But 'A Course in Miracles' is not a church, so not in the same category. There is one very important key missing, which changes everything. This is the realization of unity. Peace, is Unity. War, is separation. Now of-course most people even when they think they do, have no idea what this means. It does not mean simple coming together in one purpose. It does not simple mean we are one family. It does mean these things, but even deeper then that. The reason it is one in purpose, the reason we are family, is because we are one.
The Church talks about the 'War in Heaven' where (in very short) Lucifer and Jesus had their different ideas of how it should go down here on earth, its said that this is a 'War of Words' as if I could ever see Jesus calling anyone names. I do not understand, tell I realized the "War of Words" was what the course calls the "Tiny Mad Idea" where the Son of God forgot to laugh.
Now for all you listening, Imagine with me that before we were spirits, we were "intelligences" no shape or form, tell we were born into a spiritual body, then now born into a physical body. This is what the church says, of-course never having an idea what came before the "intelligences" that we were.
So here is a stretch; what if before we got our "Spirit Bodies" we were One "intelligence" that was split into the many little spirit bodies, then the spirit bodies, were you and me, and Jesus and Lucifer. Then seeming to be as separate spirit bodies, the Ideas began to be different also. As if they where different spirits. This is a war. Yet Peace, is Unity. War, is separation. They where one born into many, that started to forget it was one with its brothers, and clashed in interests. One spirit body had his "word" and another had his "word" this is a "war of words"
The idea of this war was Lucifer stood up and said (paraphrased) "I will force everyone to do good, I will make them serve, and Father all the glory your give to me" Then Jesus stood up and said (paraphrased) "I will let then have free will and choose to come back to thee, and Father, I will give all the glory to thee" Then it is said that the Father in Heaven chose Jesus to be the savior of his brothers and sisters, and one third of the host of heaven went on the side of Lucifer, and two third chose the way of Jesus. And there it is said the two third that chose Jesus is us, we have come to the world to be tested on our "righteousness" to the father in heaven.
Now what has changed in my beliefs is this everything brought into my mind. I can see this so clearly now, that in each of our minds we have this war right now. There is a scripture that states the natural man is an enemy of God, meaning we naturally want to do what is not of God, and not righteous. Which does not make sense if we really were the ones who chose Jesus. The "War of Words" is not something that happened, long ago. It is not something happened to others. This war, is in you now. This war is said to be of Words, because it is your mind, your thoughts. To combine with ACIM words, the EGO is like Lucifer doing everything it can to get the glory, and force you to do what is "right" and he will look like your nicest friend, just to pull you in, he will even get you to think that the enemy is someone else to blame. he will get you to think you can never be saved because the kingdom is so hard to get, with so many words. He will get you to think LOVE is in death, and LOVE is in punishment, and LOVE is in cruelty, and LOVE is on a cross, were God punished someone for YOUR evil doings, He will get you to feel like shit, and full of guilt, to FORCE you to "Choose the Right".
And the real Christ with in you will tell you you are forgiven, forgiven instantly. He will tell you that you need not suffer, and go through pain or death. He will tell you that eternal life is now, and has no sacrifice. He will tell you LOVE is LOVING and LOVE is gentle. He will show you that what you think you did to deserve punishment, is washed away in the nothingness of the past. He will guide you to a place with no worries, and no stress, where you no longer NEED to do it right, for you CAN NOT DO IT WRONG, your WILL IS FREE. He will show you you have FREE WILL, and there is no punishment for there is no death. He will tell you that nothing you could do could keep God from LOVING you. He will help you feel the peace and joy that only God's LOVE and acceptance could bring.
The Kingdom is not far away, it is not even around you. It is you. The Christ with in you will show you the kingdom doors are always open for your return. The Devil with in will tell you it is far, and you MUST do good to get to it, and YOU WANT to so you can be rewarded. The Christ with in you will guide you to the safe return, gently releasing you from your desire for guilt. The Devil with in you will say everything it can to get you to feel guilty to FORCE you to WANT to return. The Christ will show you, that guilt is never your desire, and perfect Happiness is with in now. The Devil with in you will tell you that you can NOT be happy, tell you do, or get MORE, it will even tell you that you need to SERVE MORE, to be happy. It will tell you Happiness is out there, and never with in you. The christ will tell you, that you have never been condemned, and you are perfect and holy even now. The Devil will tell you you are sinful from the very start, it will tell you your choices have harmed, and killed, it will tell you everything you do is shit. It will tell you that you can never be fully happy tell you repent, and obey, and DO WHAT IS COMMANDED OF YOU ... to get you to feel guilty to FORCE you to WANT to return.
I don't know about you, but even if the war was a long time ago, I can see guilt is the way of the devil. I use my free will and choose Christ.
You are holy innocent now... and even now, the devil in you is telling you this is not true, it will even have a list of reasons why you are not, and you must feel bad, and guilty... Which is gentle? Which is the way of real LOVE? Your Free to choose, for you can't get it wrong, because you will always be innocent, even if you THINK you are guilty.
