I don’t contemplate victory for anything

I don’t contemplate victory for anything. I never did. I just always was victory. So all I did was spread more of me. As Shams, it was hardly at all accepted, was taken completely the wrong way, even by Rumi sometimes, but it didn’t stop me.

There was only one way to be, and that was all in with the truth of me. Because I had a lot of work to do, I knew I did, so I did it, but I knew at the core of all that there had to be somebody that was stronger than a human being. And so I would let my soul out. And once soul gets out, things happen.

Soul has to demonstrate itself. So they called me crazy. Was I crazy? I wasn’t boring, no, not at all.

Sometimes when the truth would flow, you can’t stop it. You don’t put blinders on you, you don’t put chains around you, there’s no such thing.

See, this is what a creator does, a creator puts it out and demands love, and that’s what comes back is the demand, love. Why? Because you have the guts to be the creator that you are, which means that you are one with everyone of your creations. This is the way it is in heaven. In the fifth dimension, how you truly feel about something is what manifests. There is no such thing as “I’m not worthy.“

This is your game, you are the leader, you have to be. You’re going to do the same thing in heaven, the same thing. And all you’re doing is taking all of that wisdom and brilliance and bringing it into your little body and doing it now while you still live as a human being. That’s what I did, that’s what Rumi did. It’s a beautiful thing to do, but you have to know, it has to be known, that you are worthy.

We’re on the ascendant in the spring. There are goddesses and gods of nature lined up to shake your hand, hug you and even kiss you, and all you have to do is say “Yes, thank you... yes.”

It’s all about you. It always has been and always will be. And being about you, there are those of us who love you unconditionally. We’re with you, we hug you. At times we even dance with you. I know I do.

One love at a time

One love at a time.  That's what I taught Rumi.  “Just one love at a time, Rumi.”

What do I love today?  Am I willing to devote my god/goddess self to creating that, to nurturing that, to honoring that? Are you?  Do you think like this?  

Every day is new.  Every thought can be new.  But are we willing to take it to the next level? Are we willing to make it our art?  Are we willing to devote? And if we're willing to devote, then we're going to take energy from our ability to live, to create something we love.  Are we willing to do that?  Because that's the only reason we're here.  

If you think that you're going to save something up, and some bolt of lightning from somewhere is going to magically... no.  It's going to come to you the way it always comes to you, so that you can make a choice.  And then you realize, I am something that I haven't believed I am!  Something is communicating with me, something's telling me things, it's giving me pictures, inspirations, and it’s pulling me.  I can feel it; it's pulling it right out of me!   

And there's a part of me that's saying, "You can't leave!  You can't do this! What about me?"

And then this light turns us around and we face the apparition and we say, "What about you?  It's always been about you, hasn't it?  As long as I have inhabited this body it's always been about you.  And now it's about me, just me. And I'm going to forgive, and I‘m going to extend my soul kindness, and I'm going to allow you to work with me.  And we are going places.  I'm going to take you places you couldn't believe!  And there's no one that can stand in our way, and I'm going to prove that to you."

"Well, I don't know if I'm going to like—"

“It’s now what you think you may like or dislike.  It’s simply what I’m about to do."

“And what is that?”

“Change life.  I’m going to change it all.  I’m going to do whatever it is I’ve always wanted to do and I wasn’t able to, but I am.”

And then all we have to do is do it.  Once we understand that, it’s a different life.  I understood that in my longing to meet Rumi, I was willing to give everything up, and I did; and I was prepared to invest, and I did; to commit, and I did; to devote, and I did.  And not to fear, not fear any change, but to follow my heart, my soul, and I did.  And you will too.
