I'M JUST THE BUCKET , NOT THE WATER

FOR 50 YEARS I LIVED IN A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY . I THOUGHT I WAS SEPERATE FROM GOD . NOW I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE , THAT GOD & I ARE ONE . THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT " IAM GOD " IN THE ARROGANT SENSE OF THOSE WORDS . THIS MEANS THAT "IAM WHAT GOD IS , AND GOD IS WHAT IAM " THIS MEANS THAT I TRUELY HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD ! AND SO HAVE YOU . ON A STRICTLY PERSONAL LEVEL, THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NO NEED FOR ANYTHING AT ALL , & SO WE CAN DROP ALL OF OUR DAY- TO - DAY" DRAMAS " RIGHT NOW . SINCE WE ARE EVERYTHING WE COULD EVER IMAGINE WE NEED OR DESIRE , WHAT IS THERE TO BE AGITATED ABOUT ? YOU DESIRE LOVE ? YOU ARE LOVE . YOU DESIRE ABUNDANCE ? YOU ARE ABUNDANCE. YOU DESIRE COMPASSION , FORGIVENESS , UNDERSTANDING ? YOU ARE COMPASSION , FORGIVENESS UNDERSTANDING . YOU MAY NOT EXPERINCE THAT YOU ARE THESE THINGS IF YOUR LIVING A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY , YET THE FASTEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE THAT YOU ARE THESE THINGS IS TO BE THESE THINGS . AND THE FASTEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE BEING THESE THINGS IS TO GIVE THESE THINGS AWAY. FOR IT IS IN THE GIVING THAT YOU REALIZE AND MULTIPLY THE HAVEING , AND IT IS IN THE HAVEING THAT YOU EXPERIENCE AND EXPAND THE BEING , AND IT IS IN THE BEING THAT YOU EMBRACE AND EXPRESS THE KNOWING OF WHO YOU ARE AND THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF ALL OF LIFE ..........
