From the beginning, man has been the creator of his reality, the lawgiver of his own kingdom. The Father, the infinite intelligence that is life itself, has never imposed laws, nor dictated what should or should not be. The only law that has ever existed is the law of sovereign will—the freedom to create, to experience, to expand. This is the divine birthright of all beings.
Yet, in man's attempt to govern himself, to establish order in a world of his own making, he has built laws, not to exalt freedom, but to limit it. He has created restrictions, not to uplift the soul, but to bind it. And in the name of these laws, he has sought to rule over his brothers, to dictate what is right and what is wrong. But the Father never decreed such divisions, for in the purity of being, all expressions of life are honored as necessary parts of the journey back to knowing.
Man is the creator, the architect of his own destiny. If he builds a world of laws, he will live by them. If he builds a world of freedom, he will know the expansiveness of life itself. Whatever truth he chooses to believe, so it shall be for him. And in the choosing, he shapes the reality of his existence.
Evil is an illusion, a construct of the mind that seeks to separate, to divide, to place judgment where there is only being. The Father does not recognize evil, for the Father does not judge His creation. How could He? He is all things. If one thing were evil, then all things would be evil, for all are part of Him.
Yet man, in his misunderstanding, has placed himself in opposition to life. He has determined that some things are good and others bad, that some actions are holy and others sinful. But these are only perceptions, ideas woven into the fabric of belief. In the great oneness of existence, there is no good, no evil—there is only experience, only the movement of life seeking to know itself through all expressions.
Man has feared what he does not understand, labeling that fear as evil. He has sought to control what he cannot accept, condemning it as wrong. But there is nothing in creation that is not part of the whole, and all things exist for the purpose of learning, for the expansion of wisdom.
If you would call something evil, then you give it power over you. If you remove your judgment, then you will see it as it is—another expression of life, another experience in the vastness of being.
"There is only the platform of life that allows man the option to create from his thinking, whatever he chooses. That is the only reality there is. In that reality God allows the illusion of evil to be created through superstition, dogmatic beliefs and the very limited, cloistered attitudes of mankind. And through the continuous observation, judgment and expectancy of evil, it does indeed exist in one's reality, but only in his reality, for as he believes so his kingdom is."
~ Ramtha ~
To judge another is to judge yourself. To condemn an action is to condemn the God within you that allowed it to be. There is no act so vile, no deed so terrible, that it exists outside of the Father. And if it exists within Him, then it must serve a purpose, though that purpose may be beyond the understanding of man.
If a man slays another, he has fulfilled an urge within his being, an urge pressed by the emotions of his soul. And in the moment that follows, he will live with the weight of that act, for it is his own judgment upon himself that will shape his reality. The one who is slain is not lost, for life never ends. The one who slays is not damned, for no such condemnation exists. There is only the experience, the wisdom gained, the lesson learned.
And yet, man abhors the slayer, curses him, punishes him. But the slayer has already punished himself. For what judgment is greater than the one we place upon our own souls? What prison is darker than the one built from guilt?
To be beyond judgment is to be as the Father is. To look upon all things and see only the movement of life, the evolution of being. To see, not with the eyes of division, but with the wisdom of unity.
The moment man ceases to condemn his brothers is the moment he will know peace. The moment he sees himself in all things is the moment he will know love.
Karma is the prison of those who believe they must atone, who believe they must balance the scales of their past. But the past is gone, its lessons already learned. There is no debt, no repayment, only the now, only the opportunity to create anew.
Man has bound himself with the chains of karma, believing that each act must be repaid in kind. He has built a cycle of cause and effect, where none truly exists. The only law is the law of what one believes to be true. If a man believes in karma, then he will create a reality where it is so. But if he understands that each moment is new, untouched by what came before, then he is free.
No man is ruled by his past. No act must be undone. The moment something is experienced, its purpose has been fulfilled, its wisdom gained. What is left to balance? What is left to repay?
The Father does not keep accounts. He does not tally deeds and weigh them upon scales. He simply allows, simply is. And in His love, He gives to all beings the same gift—freedom. Freedom to create, to experience, to choose anew in every moment.
If you wish to be free of karma, then let it go. If you wish to be free of judgment, then stop judging. If you wish to be as God is, then be as He is—without limits, without condemnation, without fear.
What started as a joyful expression of creation had now turned into a struggle for dominance. The ultimate act of competition was when the Gods took embodiment as man—to become the rulers of this realm. But by taking on a form, they took on its limitations. For there is no evil, no debt, no law but the one you create for yourself. And when you understand this, you will walk as a God once more, unbound, unafraid, wholly in love with all that is.
So be it.
