Hi !
Here is a one-hour talk I gave yesterday February 16, 2012.

The topic is: PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR AND DISSOLVES ALL PROBLEMS
I
talk about when people say they are "not there yet" and have a "desire"
to wake up and who "want enlightenment" and to be a little bit careful
of this idea because only the ego says these kinds of things because
God/Holy Spirit is already whole and awake.
So while you say "I want to wake up" and "I'm not there yet" ask yourself the question: WHO IS THE I THAT IS SAYING THIS?
not God. not you.
It's the tyrant/imposter who lives in you who masquerades as you.
So be alert when you say these things - because the ego will make you
feel like you're being sincere, but it can be a huge trap to stay in
misery longer while you "seek" and "search" for what is already in you
today.
the ego loves this kind of statement as a way to keep
you on the path as long as possible. Meanwhile you are already in a
state of joy - it simply needs your recognition. My suggestion if you
still find yourself in a condition of depressed, confused or "not there
yet" is to train your ego like a dog to become obedient, and to
constantly say NO! to it.
Don't try to reach enlightenment, forget about that, because the ego has a field-day with this one.
Instead
every time you start to act up just say NO! to it. Just like you would
to a dog who thinks it runs the show. Show it who is master.
use every day to forgive every thought/situation that comes up,
and have a willingness to see things differently. Forget about
enlightenment. You're already awake.
Train yourself to be grateful. Put the ego in it's place with perfect love and fear will disappear.
One
of the most powerful things i know to do is STAND STILL because the ego
always speaks first and the loudest, so the best advice I know when
some kind of emotion other than love comes up (anger, worry, resentment)
is to just STAND STILL and DO NOTHING. Just like training a dog, you
can train yourself to not defend yourself, to not attack, to not lash
out. You can train yourself to STOP! breathe, remember God and take a
few minutes to allow your TRUE VOICE to speak - which always speaks more
quietly and second to ego.It will remind you of the truth of Who you
are. It does take discipline, but it works when you do it.
Here is the audio, enjoy!
Love, Lisa
