Our First Duty

I have always been a seer. No, I do not see the future; I see through the illusions of the human personality. And no, I am not a channeler or a psychic; I am simply a seer of what I see and know to be true. It ties in with the Law of Levels, which says that people on the same level can communicate with each other readily. That is why I have never been a social animal; I can see through the pretense. But pretense is necessary in this world. People of every kind need food, shelter and clothing, so businesses must operate and the show must go on.

My writing arises from my knowing; that is why it comes so easily for me. I write what I am feeling in the moment.

Our beautiful planet is being destroyed by pure evil (mechanical behaviors. (Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.) It is too late to save Her and it is only a matter of time before there will be no more chances to do the right thing.

So what can we as individuals do? It is both simple and impossible. We must carry on as best we can doing what we are called to do. Service takes many forms, but so does evil. We must get it clear that the human mind cannot save the world. Only “I am” can do that. We must constantly sift the wheat from the chaff. And by that I mean that we must monitor our thoughts, feelings and behaviors constantly. Right now we are focused on evil and are reacting to it. That makes us part of the problem. I see that now. I see myself hating evil and the right thing to do is to rise above it—to focus on the truth.

I carry on by writing as I am led to write. That is it in a nutshell. I am putting my seventh book together and know that in doing so, I will be writing only for the few. I have realized that truth cannot be told to the masses. As Gurdjieff said, the masses cannot escape. Jesus spoke only to the few, but they heard and they will always hear.

And so I begin another day of simplicity. I had a nightmare last night in which everything in my life was going wrong, and in truth it always does as long as I keep pretending that I know what I am doing, or that I am not such a bad person.

We have all sinned (acted mechanically) and fallen short of the glory of God. But redemption is happening daily as we confess how like puppets we are, pulled by the strings of our very own egos.

Our first duty is to the Self in all beings. There is only the One. All else is a massive lie.

  1. I pray for strength daily. Strength to resist the ego’s manipulations. It feels like redemption, but it is a co-endeavor attempted by my deepest self and God.

    I love the truth you present Vicki…it fills my soul.
    Love and peace,
    Tami

  2. Dennis, that is an excellent plan. We do need reminders that are of such high quality because our minds and our egos just want us to forget such truth immediately. Thank you, Vicki, for this wonderful post!
