The 4 Trials of the Heart Required for Rebirth in Christ

Catch those moments when you become impatient, angry, feel sorry for yourself, or find yourself negative in any way. See how this lower nature lives in a fragmented world, existing only to serve itself. It can never be happy, but it can be reborn through these four stages brought about by a higher will:

Stage 1: SEE that you say you know what love is, but don't. See that this lower nature is in a constant state of rejecting moments that it doesn't agree with. Notice that as you are, your inclination is to reject whatever displeases you.

Stage 2: ACCEPT the revelation that you are being shown about yourself. Accept that there is not a kind and loving "you" there in the way you currently believe there is. Notice that this part of you doesn't put God first... it puts "me first. There is no judgment; there is just seeing.

Stage 3: REMAIN with the revelation of that lower nature as it tries to act itself out. Remain without a fight, without thinking, and without promises for a better tomorrow. Remain with the moment you've been waiting for. Stay there with no thoughts, no promises, no tomorrows... just the awareness that nature and light revealing it. Understand this is the moment you've been waiting for.

Stage 4: AGREE to your own crucifixion, the death of that nature that you have mistaken as being you. This is the cross where what is eternal and holy meets what is in time and passing. Agree to remain there until it is done. You will see that "it is done." You will not want to die to that nature, but you see that there is no other choice.
