GUIDANCE From Elder Brother ~ "Forgiveness and Healing"
ON BEING A TARGET OUT OF RANGE  

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: In His Guidance, He has asked Me to capitalize the pronouns You and We as an acknowledgement of the Divinity of All of Us, an acknowledgement of Equality, an expression of His Love and respect for You.  

When You see the word 'YOU'  capitalized in the Guidance, know that He is not just speaking to YOU, He is honoring YOU.

When a Brother does attack Us, We have three vantage points where We may stand to deal with it.  And which one We choose makes all the difference.

The three choices are Be and Do and Have.  And there is no time where We do not stand in one of them.  When there is an upset or trauma, most Sisters and Brothers stay in Do and Have.  Feeling quite at the effect of the wicked Brother, We stand in Have with upset and hurt feelings and, perhaps, thoughts of revenge.

With these in mind S/He may soon go into Do to ‘pay them back’.   This seems – in theory – quite satisfying.  Forget “Do unto others”!  Justice will be done!  That’s what’s important!

So-called ‘justice’ may be done, and You find that it is far from satisfactory.  The rotten ‘sinner’ has been punished, yet You’ve no peace about the situation.  Thus the injury is added to a life-long list of grievances.  The ‘victim’ also stays in range of a possible repeat attack.

There is a better way if You would care to hear it.  It lifts Your heart and mind and spirit and puts all three of them at peace.  Instead of hanging out with thoughts of what to Do and the revenge that You will Have, this way is about who and what You Be.

Now You can be angry if You would will to do this.  And that is not the She that God would have You Be.  Will You not rise up in Your mind to be with Me, and be the You to say: “Father forgive them for They know not what They do.”  I said and meant this; therefore, so can You.

All it costs is letting go of anger, which is quite antithetic to Your peace.

Remember Nehemiah₁ in Bible times, who refused to come down from the wall He was repairing to deal with those who did oppose Him.  He remained focused on His goal, which was to bless, and is how I would have You be, what I would have You do, in this situation.

Those who would be enemy to any one, would do well to give the offender a blessing, which, of course, becomes Yours as well.  This makes perfect sense, for in order to give a blessing, You must first have one!

Would there have been a Resurrection had I withheld My blessing from the perpetrators?  My choices₂ were anger and death versus Love and Life.  You know which I chose, and You can choose Life and Love as well.  I invite You to gladly share My choices and My blessings.

Come, take My hand, as We walk united, for Our God is Love and We Be this Love. 

The Father wills that We walk together.  You are not in My footsteps, but walking side by side with Me; which is the True Purpose of all Scripture; and especially My teachings for You

Keep Me on a pedestal, and the world will not be healed.₃  Step up and join Me, and – as I said – “with God all good things are possible.”₄

First comes the Be-ing, then everything We do and have is Love.

¹ The Book of Nehemiah, Old Testament.

² “Father, forgive them, for They know not what They do.”

³ See Gospel of John 8:31, 32, 51  And also a passage I can’t find, where Brother says that We will do greater things than He (hard to believe since He’s so great!).

In the passages from John are these wonderful passages where He is saying to do as He.  Here He is cautioning Us not to think He is the “only One”.  He says this idea is straight from ego, and completely contrary to His mission of Love and teaching here for Us.

⁴ Matthew 19:26

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
