Those two things are pretty essential, but sometimes we put a negative interpretation on the idea of contracting/taking, instead of seeing that it's a natural part of life to contract.

Spirit transcends that and relates to all things in an equitable way. It’s all beautiful. It’s all full of grace. Sometimes that matches up in the physical, and you get a nice reflection of it in the world. Our encouragement to you is that when you have those enchanted, beautiful, glorious, transcending moments, go with them. Enjoy them for all they’re worth.

51. Giving and Forgiving It’s important to consider how the spirit of God touches us and makes itself known. There is a first step, and that is to be open, to reach out in our purity and innocence, to ask and to remember that God is listening and watching. The answer is in our midst, and if we’re denying or avoiding it, perhaps we’re allowed to play the fool for a while. Thank God we’re not allowed to be foolish forever. At some point something comes along even to the hardest of hearts, to the one who is most lost, most forsaken, and it still has mercy, it still has grace. It’s important that we remember that in our dealings with one another.

The mechanism would be the body and things of the body, even things that we refer to as the mind. The mind is subject to the ability of nerve endings, cells, the blood oxygen barrier and transference, and so on. So the functionality of you in the body temple is the mechanism.

67. Negotiating Your Karma Karma is absolutely negotiable. How is that? By working it out. So, you’re here to work out karma (in fact, we’re all here to work out karma), and you’re negotiating your karma all the time in how you respond. Is there a way to keep what you’ve created or have it come into a form that’s of a lesser responsibility? If you have created karma you don’t need, that’s called doing unnecessary things. You didn’t need to do that; that doesn’t really add to you. You had that experience already, so what is it doing? It’s just reinforcing what you need to learn. So there’s an advantage there.

70. Surrendering with Confidence Surrender is a process of surmounting. The first part of the word surrender is sur, which means above or superior. It’s an overcoming, a moving above. The second part of the word is render, which has to do with release and giving up or giving away what is due or owed. We see it used in the Bible when Jesus said, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21).

We can always be aware of that peace and do our best to express the peace that’s present—to see it in any situation, to see it in others, to look for ways to allow peace to have dominion, to let peace reign in what we’re doing and experiencing together.

When we realize that our true state cannot be conditioned, we know that the conditions have no power over the love and, also, no power over us because we are the love.

Even when things appear to us that are contradictory, peace is the quality that is the calm. It’s the calm not just before the storm, but during the storm and after the storm. It’s the quality that somehow things are right even when we don’t realize it or we don’t understand what’s going on. It’s not just the calm part or eye of the hurricane, but it’s also when things are extremely dynamic, powerful, and changing. There’s a peace in that as well.

87. A Message from John Morton & John-Roger in New York City We encourage you to envision white, crystalline Light columns where the towers have stood and even seeing the rubble as gems of radiant Light, perhaps a bit in the rough, but in the process of being refined to a most beautiful setting--a place where the world will come to connect to the solemn peace and glory that stands in our oneness with God. And, wherever your are and wherever you go, you can place columns of Light, blessing whatever is there and whoever comes present.

88. John Morton's Prayers at MSIA Prayer Service on National Day of Prayer and Remembrance September 14, 2001 in Santa Monica, CA and Worldwide on the InternetI'd like to encourage us to take a moment, and I will, in my own way, give you my view on what I'm asking from God, and a lot of it is making myself available.
I think at this time, each one of us, if we're in any way sensitive to who we are, feel compelled to do something. Yesterday, when I heard of today being a National Day of Prayer, I wanted to respond. I wanted to do something. I wanted us to provide a place, and I consider this an open place for all.

90. Keeping Your Eye on the Lord Keeping your eye on the Lord is fairly practical and simple. In order to keep your eye on the Lord, you have got to see the Lord. If you are not seeing the Lord, it is no wonder that you are not keeping your eye on the Lord. What, then, does it mean to see the Lord? Is that an embodiment, a personage, a presence?

91. Cast Your Burdens to Spirit Do you realize that you are not doing spiritual exercises? Spirit is doing them, and you get to participate as much as you can. How do you best do that? You make yourself available. How do you best make yourself available? By lining up all your energy and focusing all your energy on being available spiritually—which is to say inside—to bring your attention inside. Do you bring it to the hangnail on your toe? Maybe, although there are places of Spirit inside that are well beyond the hangnail. But you may have to deal with the hangnail in your awareness to get to the seat of the Soul.

92. The Soul's Heritage There is a principle of Soul Transcendence called "let go and let God," and spiritual exercise is the practice of Soul Transcendence. When we practice spiritual exercise, we give ourselves the opportunity to do Soul Transcendence -- to have that direct experience and to know that there is something real there for us. By the practice of spiritual exercise, there is always an experience that is given to us to keep us vitalized. A holy, living breath is constantly being delivered so we do not die or perish.

93. Living On God's Terms
People will sometimes take fear and relate it to tithing or other things in their lives. There is no real connection between fear and tithing unless it is through you. You are the connection if you take fear and relate it to tithing, since they are not related.

94. The Spiritual Promise
The first and last spiritual promise is God. And then we just have a commentary, an extension of what it means that the promise is God and that God is the promise.

96. An Ultimate Marriage
A marriage represents a commitment, a commitment from a person towards something. That "something" may be someone, or it may be larger than a person. You might say that you are making a commitment to a husband or a wife. That is an important ingredient because there is a part of a marriage that represents a union on the level of the flesh. Flesh touches flesh in a very intimate, close, committed way. However, if a marriage were to rest upon that alone, it would be untenable. It would be very difficult to have the commitment that leads to a lasting marriage depend solely upon the physicality of the flesh and what bodies do and do not do. Bodies by their nature are corruptible; eventually they decay, and ultimately they die.
