The I that is We

I read a book once called ‘The I that is We : Awakening to higher energies through unconditional love’ - by Richard Moss
I enjoyed it when I read it.

When the I is subordinated to Relationship itself, it becomes only an expression of Relationship itself.
Or as Jesus in A Course in Miracles puts it:
‘God Wills not to be alone’.

I can seem to have a will to be alone, apart, different, private. And it gives me an experience of a world unlike God.
In such a world there is no peace of heart, joining all things in one light. No constancy of being or sureness of step. But a deep seated fear over and against changes that cannot be mastered.

Some believe that ‘angelic deception’ is behind such teachings as A Course in Miracles – and that the plural ‘we’ used at times by the author or ‘dictating voice’ is an indicator of the legion nature of the deceiver. However, certainty is not to be asserted by the mind – but is to be rediscovered by grace – in the heart. The mind that denies and attacks needs ‘enemies’ in order to maintain its own sense of validity to itself. The mind that embraces and includes needs brothers to share love’s remembrance.

If there could be an enemy of love it would be the intent to exclude oneself from it – but you cant be your own enemy. Except in fantasy played out in private - ‘not knowing what you do’.
The ‘awakened we’ is not the joining or the sum of separate fantasy roles.

We are your living love.

The projection or extending of love’s inclusion is the Gift that restores sanity. For by your gifts you know your mind – and by extending the mind as you are truly Given – you know your Father’s Light in all.

To recognise the gifts you give, that are not what you would in love give or receive – is to begin to disinvest in them by withdrawing value.
