Student Q&A with Guy on "The First and Last Requirement to Realize Your Highest Destiny" (1/27/21)
Posted: Thursday, January 28, 2021
Meeting: Wednesday, January 27, 2021
Duration: 28min 20sec
Topics Covered
In order to realize our highest destiny we first have to realize that we presently do not know what our true higher destiny is.
Our highest destiny is neither found nor realized through the passage of time. We cannot complete ourselves in the world of passing time.
We did not give ourselves the ideas and plans that we think we need to pursue in order to realize our destiny. These false ideas and beliefs about what we must do to be whole were handed to us by something outside of ourselves.
Our sense of self is presently dependent upon conditions. The temporary identity that is derived from a condition changes every time that condition changes.
We are temporal instruments of timeless laws. Everything that comes into this world comes from something that is timeless, and it comes into this world through consciousness. We suffer to the extent that we live outside of the awareness of timeless laws.
Man-made laws have become the substitute for conscience.
We are always free to learn and to see. Nothing in the world can interfere with those freedoms.
The willingness to accept and bear any revelation about yourself changes your destiny. The "you" that goes into any moment of revelation is not the same "you" that comes out of it.
Conditions are not against us. The highest purpose of outer conditions and events is to stir and call out aspects of ourselves that could not be revealed in any other way.
There is no freedom in fear, but we are free to prove to ourselves that there is nothing to fear.
The only thing we fear is what we've yet to see, accept, and understand about ourselves.
Freedom is connected to any moment in which something has been made new because it has served its true purpose.
The reason we have fear is that we do not know who we are, and we are afraid of ourselves without knowing it.
Whatever the moment reveals to us about ourselves is not to be resisted, but realized.
There is no end to the revelation of self. Eternity is what you are, not where you are going or what you will possess. We are each a part of what is timelessly showing us the eternity of our true self. This means that, spiritually speaking, we don't need to secure a so-called future.
Your destiny is to realize that there is no end to the fulfillment of who you truly are.
We are more than imagination can ever imagine.
Do you want authority over others outside of yourself? Or do you want authority over the painful level of self that believes it needs to have authority over others?
We cannot separate our experience of the moment from the consciousness that is responsible for that experience.
There is no freedom in fear, but we are free to prove to ourselves there is nothing to fear.
This greatest of all journeys begins, and can only begin...with a level of freedom that -- once realized -- expands itself infinitely... bringing us into the conscious awareness of a perfectly endless freedom. To realize this highest of all destinies begins with this new understanding: the only thing we fear is what we've yet to see, accept, and understand about ourselves.
Until we are free to see ourselves as we are -- witnessing without resistance, judgment or condemnation what may be revealed within us -- we can never truly be who we are: a Spiritual Crucible wherein the will of earthly and Divine forces meet in order that a new conception might be born of their union.
