The Sparrow

That you think you have to fight. The one you've been fighting, it's not yours. It's my battle.

And I'm only referring to it as a battle because that's all the human scene understands.

There is no battle because there is no other power. There was only me, only love, only the I am.

And since I am in you, and since I am appearing as you, and since I am appearing as everything,

be not afraid, it is I. This presence, my presence, is in the midst of you.

Where you appear to be right now, I am. You can't see me. You can't touch me.

You can't hear me, but you can feel me. You can sense me in the silence between your thoughts.

In the silence between these words, I'm always holding your hand so that when you remember you can feel my presence and be comforted,

and be reminded that this is a dream. And that I am not in this dream. You can say that I am behind it.

Some say that I pervade it, but only I am. Only I am none of this, including your battle is if only I am here.

Where is the battle? There is no place or room for a problem. Only the kingdom is here. Only the kingdom is here.

And since you think you are that body, for now, we'll say that you are sitting in it. You are standing in the kingdom.

But really, only the kingdom is. Only this I am is. There is only one I here. The same I is there. It's everywhere.

And it's hearing these words. Whatever you are fearing is a temptation.

For you to give power to something that has no power. It's a temptation for you to step out of this knowledge for you to forget me.

And even when you forget me, I have not forgotten you. There is only love here. And every time you remember, you fill it, you fill me, and you're back on the throne that I created for you.

And you sit with me and you commune with me. And then you forget again, and you wander off, and you get scared.

But now that fear is like the alarm that wakes you up. And you remember you never left the throne. It just dosed off and dreamt that you were in the world fighting battles with.

Others fighting shadows fighting your own shadow. You are the light.

Be the light today in every room, in every relationship, in every situation. You are the light.

I love you, and I'm with you.
