St. Theresa of Calcutta when asked how she could work with so many unsightly l***rs, said, "I never worked with one l***r: they were all Christ disguised."

Message to Seer Dolores Cannon

I am learning from the books of Richard Rohr, that trauma is the breeding ground of a shame-based life, that has nothing to do with our true self. It is composed of severe self-judgment, guilt, focusing on the negative, clutching, needing to be right, holding onto maladaptive patterns and not letting ourselves off the hook with abundant self-forgiveness.

The good news is that our false self, with its missteps, detours, circling around, wanderlust, addictions, seemingly purposeless meandering and wrong perceptions is an intrinsic part of our sacred journey, - and perfect. It is the foundation and building blocks of our true self.

We can wrest from the iparalyzing quagmire of the life we practiced with, immeasurably valuable pearls, that for decades, some of us, have been blind to. When I confront and love my false self, my true self emerges. I so appreciate the positive and inspirational words you share. Every word demonstrates what a terrific seer you are and gives all with whom you have shared your life and wisdom a North Star to guide our lives by.

Baptismal Identity

I was born a child of God, as are all human beings. This identity is constant, never-ending and inviolate. This identity is never subject to change but endures "even to the edge of doom." My consciousness and self-awareness can shift like drifting sand, my mind can trap me in negative loops and destructive swirling spins. I can become mired in a punitive perception of God, for multiple decades. I can lose my way, take errant pathways, sell my soul to lesser gods, debase my Crucified Beloved, curse, hate the ground I walk on, be untrue to family, friends and teachers. I can make a mockery of Shakespeare's magnificent quote, "Thus above all, to thine own self be true - then it follows, as the day follows the night, thou can'st not be false to any man." I can even make self-betrayal an anthem to live by.

But none of these things pe*****te my core baptismal identity. It bears not even the slightest blemish. I am a child of God when I am cloaked in unworthiness. I am a child of God in the most abhorrent moments of my life, when the clouds of despair hem me in. I am a child of God when I alienate my family and children and arouse in them hatred for me. I am even a child of God when I hate God.

And the reason this is inviolately true, is because this baptismal identity is granted me by unconditional, unmerited, absolutely undeserved grace, forgiveness and lovingkindness. I saw a mentor today who submerged me in the oceanic love of God, and I, in retrospect, now know in my bones, that I had been in these waters thru 40 mental hospitalizations, being raised in an abusive, alcoholic family and three days of r**e, torture, and brainwashing by a street person in Washington D.C. 45 years ago. Our baptismal identities are a vessel where God overwhelmingly pours his compassion and infinitude into our finite, eager, hungry, waiting hearts. All we need do is accept this limitless gift as the treasure it is and live from it.

Marianne Williamson:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Somewhere over the rainbow I won't hide my beauty, compassion, love and self-wonder. The bunnies, squirrels, insects, deer, butterflies, pelicans, and snakes - the still, non-acting tree branches, dancing in utter trusting-abandonment to the Paraclete's breath. All, will know me. I feel so hidden - in secret, trembling distraction. Like a tiny ant, a seemingly inconsequential leaf, a grieving mother's unheard-of, rending sigh. I alone am unloved because I show the world hardly a peek at the quintessence of my true vibrant being. My secret self. No one can love what they do not know. I do not know mysefl at all.
